FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2002 Two teens from a Yup'ik village in Alaska were rescued Thursday after spending more than 12 hours in a winter storm. The teens, who are cousins, left Scammon Bay on Wednesday afternoon for a 20-mile ride on a new snowmachine. But they ran into trouble near Hooper Bay and and the snowmachine sank. They spent an estimated 12 to 15 hours atop an ice float waiting for help. It finally came in the form of an Army National Guard helicopter. Get the Story:
