Autumn Veatch, 16, couldn't tell the 911 operator where in the Washington state wilderness the small plane went down. Somehow, she survived; her grandparents apparently didn't.

Veatch, covered in bruises and burns, hiked out of the rugged mountains two days after Saturday's crash, police said.

She stayed near a river the first night and hiked out the second day. For reasons I don't know and can't guess, the ELT apparently did not work.
