They Had Angels Protecting Them: Four Children Lost in Rural Alaska During Blizzard Found Alive Huddling Around 2-Year-Old
Four children who went missing Sunday during a blizzard in rural Alaska.The boys, between 2 to 14, dug a foot-deep hole and positioned themselves in a way so that the 2-year-old wouldn’t be as exposed to the elements.A freak bomb cyclone engulfed Alaska beginning on February2, 2020, bringing intense blizzard conditions across the Last Frontier. On that Sunday, four children, aged between 2 and 14, decided to make a snow machine ride in those extreme weather conditions. And of course, they got lost. Rescuers discovered them alive in a hole in the snow,
huddling around the baby, Monday about 20 miles outside the village of Nunam Iqua, on Alaska’s west coast. Yes, they had angels protecting them!
The children dug a foot-deep hole in the snow and huddled around each other. They kept the youngest in the middle so he wouldn’t be exposed to the conditions.
Great survival skills!“The infant was in there. And the boy laid over the infant, and on his left side, a little older boy covering the draft. And the 7-year-old was laying right above them like he was blocking the wind. They were protecting the baby,†reported one of the rescuer.
It is unknown why the children weent so far away from the village during the storm and an official present noted: “
In winter time our storms are very bad. Sense of direction is not to be played with.†Yes, they probably got lost!
