A 30-year-old man was finally rescued from the Alaskan wilderness after his cabin burned down,     1     (leave) him trapped in the snow for almost three weeks.

Tyson Steele had been living alone     2     several months in a small house in Skwentna, a town     3     (locate) 70 miles northwest of Anchorage. He had been burning a fire in    4     (he) woodstove back in December when a piece of flaming cardboard     5     (fly) up his fireplace chimney and landed on his roof,     6     started a slow fire that eventually left the cabin in ruins. Since Skwentna only has a population of about 35 people, Steele’s     7     (near) neighbor lived about 20 miles away. With no means of     8     (communicate) to call for help, Steele endured sub-zero temperatures     9     severe weather conditions wearing long johns (秋裤), boots with no socks, and a heavy wool sweater.

When his family and friends hadn’t heard from Steele for several     10     (week), they requested a welfare check from Alaska State Troopers. As a helicopter flew over the area, they caught sight of Steele waving his arms in the air next to a massive “SOS” sign that he had stamped into the snow.

2 . The passenger who successfully landed a plane after its pilot fell unconscious told about the experience. Darren Harrison was on his way back from a fishing trip in the Bahamas when the pilot told him and the other passenger, a friend of the pilot’s, that he didn’t feel right.

Harrison quickly asked the pilot what needed to be done by the point when the pilot was already unresponsive. Making his way to the front of the plane, he realized that the aircraft was in a nose dive, moving at a very fast rate over the open ocean. “At that point, I knew if I didn’t react, we would die,” said Harrison.

Harrison reached over the pilot’s body and positioned his arms over him to grab the controls, slowly starting to pull back on the stick and turn. He did all this just out of common sense. Harrison said that the first moments before he made any communication with ground controls stood out to him as the scariest part of the whole story.

Barefoot in the front of the plane, he placed the headset that the pilot had been wearing on his head, only to discover the cord (电线)was worn and unplugged. From there, he asked the other passenger for his headset and was able to connect. with air traffic control, who guided him on how to safely land. Once they reached the ground, Harrison said he slowly feathered the brakes as they made it down the runway.

When the aircraft finally came to a stop, Harrison said he thanked the man on the other side of the headset before throwing it on the dash of the plane. He said his strongest prayer was “for the guy in the back” while he prayed for the safety of everything that happened.
