Survivor Recounts Harrowing Experience in Wrangell, Alaska Landslide

Christina Florschutz, the only survivor found so far, describes the force of the landslide and her miraculous survival.

Christina Florschutz, the only survivor found so far from the Nov. 20 landslide in Wrangell, Alaska, described the force of the impact as throwing her around 'like a piece of weightless popcorn'.
Four people have been confirmed killed in the landslide: Timothy and Beth Heller and two of their children, Kara, 11, and Mara, 16.
Two people remain missing: the Hellers’ 12-year-old child, Derek, and Florschutz’s husband, 65-year-old commercial fisherman Otto Florschutz.
Florschutz was trapped in the rubble of her home, but managed to survive by wrapping herself in polar fleece from her sewing room and waiting until morning to free herself.
Florschutz expressed gratitude to the community for their support and considers the circumstances of her survival to be a miracle.
