Poconos Rescue

Noah talks with Harry Robidoux, the director of Emergency Management Servic in Monroe County, Pennsylvania. Robidoux led the search for a family of four whose plane crashed in the Pocono Mountains. Gary and Marie Knapp and their two children had been on their way home from visiting relatives in Massachusetts for Thanksgiving when their plane went down. All four survived, thanks to the rescue efforts which discovered the family some sixteen hours after the crash.
