Stewardess Esther Jo Connor, despite a broken ankle, did what she could for her passengers, all but two of whom were severely injured, one dead.

Rescuers struggling up the mountain heard his screams afar. The plane was almost intact, with one motor torn loose. Nearby was a small fire lookout station. There for nearly...
