"I got out. There was fire. That's how my face got burned. My hair was burning. ... And -- my immediate response was to go and try to help them out. Because they were alive. They were alive. They were both screaming," she said. Autumn said she realized that she couldn't get to her grandmother, Sharon Bowman, who was on the other side of the airplane. She thought if she could get her grandfather, Leland Bowman, out first, then his wife could follow them to safety. She tried and tried, she said, until she realized there was no saving him.

Walking out was an ordeal for her also.

Going down the mountain was tough. She had to cross the water several times to find ways to get through the thick woods. Twice she slipped on the rocks and tumbled into the frigid water. She came upon a stream, and followed the flow. It became a river, and on the second day it led to a bridge. She walked up an adjacent trail to a parking lot where there was one empty car. She went back to the highway and stood suffering by the roadside, trying to get people to pull over, but cars kept passing. Finally, after an hour, she went back to the parking lot, as she sat in the rain with her sweater pulled over her, another car pulled in. The two men inside took her to a store in Mazama, near the Canadian border.
