A true story about a pilot that did flights around Mt McKinley in Alaska and how on one flight, he crashed & because of weather was stuck on mountain in freezing storm conditions. There were 4 people on the plane including him, 2 died within the first day and him and another guy survived. Their rescue came after 5 days. He lost the bottoms of both legs, I think right below the knee. Story about how he recovered and eventually became a commercial pilot. His marriage ended & he rarely saw his 3 kids and to over come this he realized he had to take the mountain back on. He started mountain climbing and on his 2nd attempt was able to get to the top of Mt McKinley. Not a bad read but not really all that interesting to me either.
I have posted it on PBS, it is the only copy but who knows if it will ever get requested.
