Alaska duo survive 50 mile Arctic trek after helicopter crash
Two U S helicopter crewmen Ronald McNeil and Patrick Kilmurray walked 50 miles from a downed craft near Prudhoe Bay to Umiat Alaska in three days through 40 below zero weather. They had been missing since December 23 after a faulty voltage regulator caused the failure. A rescue team later restarted the helicopter and flew it to Anchorage.
