Two Men Survive Crash After 15 Days in Sierra Wreck
Eugene Ebell and Robert Staar, both Fresno natives, survived a January 11 light-plane crash in the Sierra Nevada with the pilot Donald Shaver killed. They endured two weeks in the wreckage with limited food before helicopter rescue 35 miles east of Jackson. A false smoke report initially delayed air searches, but Staar trekked 30 miles to seek help while a hired helicopter aided aerial recovery. Exposed to cold, they received treatment for frostbite and minor rib injuries.
