Three survivors were rescued from a missing plane that crashed in Kamchatka, Russia after spending three days without food. The crew members and passenger survived by keeping warm in the snow by burning fuel. The pilots heard search signals but were unable to communicate due to bad weather. One pilot has a closed cerebral injury and the other is suffering from hypothermia. The plane was transporting cargo when it started descending due to severe cold and overloading. The incident has resulted in a criminal case being launched by Russia’s Federal Air Transport Agency for breaching air transport operation regulations. Rescuers from the Kamchatka Regional Air Transport Service found the survivors and transported them to the hospital. The survivors melted snow for drinking water and stayed warm by lighting fuel inside the aircraft. The miraculous survival of all three people aboard the missing plane has captured the attention of the local media.
