Lauren Elder: 我在1976年4月26日乘坐小型飞机在加利福尼亚州内华达山脉上空飞行时遭遇空难，飞机坠毁在布拉德利山顶附近。飞机坠毁后，我发现自己和飞行员Jay以及他的女友Jean都受了伤。Jean伤势严重，最终不幸遇难。Jay也身受重伤，在坠机后的夜晚去世。我独自一人在零下低温的荒野中挣扎求生。我首先设法生火取暖，但由于燃料不足，火很快熄灭了。随后，我利用飞机残骸中的热石取暖，并尽力保持清醒。在黎明时分，我决定下山求救。下山过程极其艰难，我不得不攀爬近乎垂直的山坡，克服了冰雪、岩石等重重障碍，最终历经14小时到达了欧文斯谷附近的小镇Independence。在小镇上，我最初遭到了一些人的拒绝，但最终得到了警长的帮助，并被送往医院接受治疗。这次经历让我对生命、精神力量以及人性的复杂性有了更深刻的理解。 John Hopkins: 本期节目讲述了Lauren Elder在1976年遭遇飞机失事后，如何在高塞拉山脉的险峻环境中顽强求生的故事。飞机失事后，Lauren Elder面临着严酷的考验，她不仅要克服恶劣的天气条件和身体上的伤痛，还要应对精神上的打击。她的男友Jay和Jay的女友Jean都在事故中丧生。在如此绝望的情况下，Lauren Elder展现出了非凡的勇气和毅力，她利用有限的资源生火取暖，并最终成功地独自一人从山上走下来，寻求到了帮助。她的故事不仅是一部惊险的生存故事，更是一部关于勇气、毅力和精神力量的颂歌。

Shownotes Transcript

In 1976, Lauren Elder takes up the last-minute offer of a sightseeing flight with some friends. The plan is to range out over the desert, stop for a picnic, then head home before it’s dark. As she boards the light aircraft, Lauren never imagines she’ll end up stranded on a mountaintop. There she’ll face a desperate choice: wait for a rescue that may never materialise? Or descend the wall of rock and ice… alone?

A Noiser production, written by Susan Allott.
