Russians Lost in Deadly River Trip Found Alive After 3 Weeks In Wilderness

Two Russian men missing for weeks in a remote, mountainous area of western China have been found alive, their survival described as miraculous.

The two were among six Russians who disappeared during a canoe trip on the Yurungkax River in Xinjiang region.

The bodies of three of the men were found last weekend. Chinese and Russian officials said all three had drowned.

One of the survivors, Alexander Zverev, said they were thrown from their canoes by the Yurungkax's turbulent waters.
