Sailor Gutzler, 7, crawled out of the plane wreckage, walked a mile to 71-year-old Larry Wilkins' home and knocked on the door..."
The family vacation to Florida turned into a tragedy Friday evening when the small plane carrying them crashed in the middle of Kentucky woods. With broken bones, Sailor pulled herself out of the wreckage. Wearing only shorts and a T-shirt, she braved the 38-degree weather to find help.
Sailor ended up on the doorstep of Larry Wilkins.
A report in the Washington Post quotes Wilkins as saying "She asked if she could stay here. I said, 'Honey, what can I do for you?' I got a wash cloth and cleaned her up. And of course called 911."
"She told me that her mom and dad were dead and that she had been in a plane crash," he told CNN. "She's a terribly brave little girl, I'll tell you that. I can't imagine a 7-year-old doing that."
According to the Washington Post and CBN, Kentucky State Police Lt. Brent White said, "She literally fell out of the sky into a dark hole. "She probably went the best route—not the easiest by any means. Absolutely amazing. At the scene we were talking about that being some Divine intervention."
Investigators at the National Transportation Safety Board are trying to figure out how Sailor survived.
