TL;DR Summary

A 10-year-old girl, Shunghla Mashwani, survived for over 24 hours in the rugged and remote Cascade mountain range in Washington state after getting lost while crossing a pedestrian bridge. Her family searched for her for two hours before calling the police, who deployed a search team consisting of people on the ground, police dogs, drones, and helicopters. Shunghla was eventually found alive with minor injuries and returned safely to her father. The Kittitas sheriff’s department praised her as an "extraordinarily resourceful and resilient 10-year-old".
