As many are celebrating with their families for yet another year, Tragedy has struck once again but this time with a little twist,a miraculous survival of a 7-year-old girl pictured up without any life threatening injuries from the plane crash that killed both her parents, sister and niece,Only God knows best for sparing her life.
The little girl used a burning stick to guide her through the dark until she
saw a house with the lights on. She was received by 71-year-old Larry Wilkins
who was shocked to find the little girl on his doorstep bleeding. Bleeding and alone, Sailor Gutzler had just survived a plane crash that
killed her family. She walked through about a mile of woods and thick briar
patches, wearing only a short-sleeve shirt, shorts and no shoes in
near-freezing temperatures when she saw a light in the distance.
“I come to the door and there’s a little girl, 7 years old, bloody nose,
bloody arms, bloody legs, one sock, no shoes, crying,” Wilkins, 71, told The
Associated Press on Saturday. “She told me that her mom and dad were dead, and
she had been in a plane crash, and the plane was upside down.”
“Her voice was quivering. She told me her mom and dad were dead and she was in a plane crash and the plane was upside down. She was bleeding pretty bad, her legs were bleeding, her face had a bloody nose. She was barefoot, only had one sock on. She asked if she could stay here. I felt so sorry for her, tears come my eyes,” Wilkins added saying the girl had come through very rough territory
