American Girl Rescued

An American girl was rescued from a Panama plane crash. She was the sole survivor of a plane crash and was reunited with her family after rescue workers trekked for five hours to carry the 12 year old American girl out of a remote mountain area. Then they airlifted her to a hospital. Francesca Lewis was wearing a neck brace and with one arm bandaged, met with her parents at a hospital in the town of David, capital of Chiriqui province. Michael Klein, a prominent California businessman, and his 13 year old daughter, Talia, a friend of Francesca, were killed in Sunday's crash near the jungle flanked slopes of the Baru volcano, 270 miles west of the capital, Panama City. The Panamanian pilot, Edwin Lasso, age 23, was also killed.
