She never liked watching “Survivor” on TV with her dad, but 16-year-old Autumn Veatch gave the show some credit for her incredible return home to Bellingham. Authorities figured Veatch and her step-grandparents were dead after their small plane went down last week. Instead, the girl followed drainage down to a river through rough terrain, reports The Seattle Times, and then followed the river to a road, where she was picked up Monday and taken to a hospital. She went two days without food or water but is now in good condition.
