Man Plunges Over Cliff, Rescued by Family After Six Days

In Los Angeles, Ca., a 67-year-old man was rescued by his family only six days after he dove off of a cliff while driving through the Angeles National Forest.  After tracking the man’s cell phone’s records and cracking his Facebook account, his family finally tracked down the man’s last move before going over the cliff.  The man survived for six days on his own by eating bugs and leaves and drinking the creek water.  He was safely airlifted to a hospital by helicopter.  He left with a broken collarbone and bruises.
