No matter the country or the situation, it warms my heart to hear that people like this are rescued after months.

I'm glad that they were able to find food and shelter in an abandoned military base, and when supplies began to run low that they were able to be well enough to hike to find a place with a working radio.

> But supplies began running low and early this week, five set off on foot across snowy terrain; on Friday, after four days of trudging, they reached a working military radio center, the reports said.

The center called rescuers, and helicopters were sent to take the 11 to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatka, the regional capital.<

I am truly happy that there is a happy ending to this story, they were able to make the best out of their situation, and will be able to return to their families.

There are dangers that come with jobs like this, and like I say they stuck it out together, and did what they had to, to survive.

Mooch

I can only imagine how they survived. They must have been very resourceful and had survivors's training. I am sure glad that they are doing well and will be united with their families. It must have been hard trudging out in the snow, not knowing whether they would find someone, a building or even a place with a radio phone, or a military center. I heard it is quite isolated out there and there was a good chance they would not have made it, but I am sure glad they did.

I am so glad they found that abandoned military base and some food supplies. This is a story with a happy ending. I bet after they got home they had lots of sweets and were so glad and grateful to be able to be re-united with their families.

The crew was very lucky indeed, to find that abandoned military base and even luckier that there was edible food there as well. Glad to read they all made it in good shape.
