Nine found alive after plane crash

? A plane carrying 10 people that disappeared four days ago in Chile’s frigid southern forests was found Wednesday with nine survivors who stayed alive by huddling for warmth, sharing food and sheltering in the plane’s wreckage.

The only fatality was 65-year-old pilot Nelson Bahamondes, who survivors said apparently died from internal bleeding two days after the Cessna Caravan crashed while flying the Chilean passengers on a domestic flight to a village in Aysen region.

Deputy Interior Minister Felipe Harboe said Bahamondes maneuvered the plane to lessen the impact of the crash in the heavily forested area.

The temperate fell at night to 24 degrees Fahrenheit.

“It was very cold, there was wind, storms and we fought all that by remaining close together,” said 29-year-old survivor Miguel Almonacid. “We used our clothes, our bags and fire to get warm. And we prayed a lot.”
