Pt. 2: A Plane Crash in the Wilderness

In this two-part episode, our guests Fr. Scott Medlock and Dr. John Tappel share about a youth backpacking trip in Alaska that goes terribly wrong when a plane dropping food for the hikers crashes into the mountains. As the youth group reacts to this horrible accident, we find out that one of the two passengers in the plane is a close relative of one of the hikers. A heart-wrenching story unfolds as a tragedy and a miracle happen side by side, leaving all of us wiping tears from our eyes. We discuss immense suffering, recovering from trauma, and what it is like to process and accept when a miracle contrasts so starkly with a tragedy.
