Wow!!  Seven missing occupants.  Rule number ONE in such a situation is stay with the original scene.  Doesn’t everybody know that?

I wonder why they didn't stay with the airplane.  Perhaps they thought they could walk the last 34 miles, but that is awfully rough terrain and terrible weather.  I see a movie coming out of this.  I hope it has a happy ending.

I mean yeah if weeks go by and you’ve eaten all your dead then maybe time to venture forth.  But rescuers were on scene here, what a few hours later?

Do they not teach people basic survival common sense anymore?  Or maybe those 7 were never on the plane in the first place.  This is just bizarre.

At least one of the missing is the pilot, and you would think He/She was on board.
Or perhaps you are right and the pilot was NOT on board.  That could explain why it crashed.

Perhaps they made their way to Shangri-La?
