We can only imagine the anguish that poor young mother was going through trying desperately to save her baby while trekking through the dark in ice and snow and fog in search of help. It takes me back to my days flying light aircraft In Alaska and the young moms and babies I've hauled between villages. What an awesome responsibility we as aviation professionals have. And what lousy equipment and conditions we are given to do it in at times.
What a heart wrenching story....

I've held a bunch of those little black eyed cuties all bundled up and wearing seal skin hats. I flew a number of soon to be moms to the big city of Kotzebue or Nome too.
