sailor gutzler is back with loved ones staying with members of her extended family. she is the lone survivor of a plane crash this weekend that killed her parents, her sister and a cousin. her family has established this website now in a bid to raise some funds for what they say is the emotion, the physical and the educational support sailor will need moving forward. family spokesman saying the focus is to protect this little girl and that as a result no more details about her will be released to the public. joining me from nashville, illinois is cnn s george howell. how is the community reacting there? reporter: ana, good day to you. it is a mix of emotions here on one hand people are thankful they re grateful that sailor survived this crash, that she managed to get through the brush to find help. they re thankful she s alive, but at the same time this community is dealing with a big loss of the gutzler family and the fact that sailor must now grow up without them. heartbreaking.
grabs, trips and stabs. this is really nasty stuff. you can see the really sharp needles on here. these are briars in the darkness it s no wonder she was all cut up. needless to say, martin and crew actually had to turn around there in the woods of kentucky. sailor s story is absolutely awe inspiring. but she isn t the only person to survive a tragedy such as this one. northwest airlines 255 crashed eded killing everyone onboard except one young girl. and she had a bond with a firefighter who found her. and in a moment i ll talk to him. but first, here s dan simon with her story. i remember feeling angry and survivor survivor s guilt. why didn t my brother survive? why didn t anybody? why me? reporter: if there s anyone who can relate to what 7-year-old sailor gutzler is going through as a lone survivor
tragedy, devastated by the loss of four people. it also has, at its center, remarkable story of survival. little girl, 7 years old, survived the crash that killed her parents, her sister and her cousin. that 7-year-old girl then walked three-quarters of a mile all alone through cold, dark woods until she found a house where she knocked on the door and asked for help. reporter: larry wilkins can tell you what a miracle sounds like. just like that. it wasn t a big loud knock. and i opened the door. got the surprise of my life, you know. 7-year-old sailor gutzler had just crawled from her crashed family plane past the bodies of her father, mother, sister and cousin and walked nearly a mile without shoes, in shorts and short sleeves in temperatures in the 30s. her nose was bloody. i don t know. i can t say for sure, but i think her lip might have been cut but her little legs is what really got your attention,
you can t get in. because i wasn t a relative you know. excuse me. larry wilkins, thank you. you re welcome, sir. i want to bring in now ken druck. he is an expert on traumatic loss and the author of real rules of life. it s really remarkable obviously. everyone is calling it a miracle story, and it appears to be that. how was sailor able to walk away from the plane crash, seek help? was it adrenaline? was it shock? what was it? you know don, it s shock. we re constructed in an amazing way as human beings. and we go into shock. it s the same shock i was in and able to give my own daughter s eulogy 19 years ago. but we go into a state of shock, and it s like we re encased in this numbness and we re able to do things that even later on we can t imagine accomplishing.
