--- how did the woman get help?[00:00:12]
when a light passenger plane flew off course some time ago,[00:00:17]
it crashed in the mountains and its pilot was killed.[00:00:22]
the only passengers, a young woman and her two baby daughters, were unhurt.[00:00:27]
it was the middle of winter.[00:00:36]
snow lay thick on the ground.[00:00:38]
the woman knew that the nearest village was miles away.[00:00:42]
when it grew dark, she turned a suitcase into a bed and put the children inside it,[00:00:47]
covering them with all the clothes she could find.[00:00:56]
during the night, it got terribly cold.[00:01:00]
the woman kept as near as she could to the children and even tried to get into the case herself,[00:01:05]
but it was too small.[00:01:12]
early next morning, she heard planes passing overhead and wondered how she could send a signal.[00:01:15]
then she had an idea.[00:01:24]
she stamped out the letters 'sos' in the snow.[00:01:27]
fortunately, a pilot saw the signal and sent a message by radio to the nearest town.[00:01:34]
it was not long before a helicopter arrived on the scene to rescue the survivors of the plane crash.[00:01:42]
