45-year-old hiker, Michael Knapinski, went missing in Mount Rainier National Park after getting lost in a whiteout. Knapinski was found the next day; moments after being airlifted to Harborview Medical Center’s ER, his heart stopped for 45 minutes before the medical team revived his heart. "(The Harborview staff) just didn’t give up on me. … They did one heck of a job at keeping me alive. I’ve got a million people to thank,” said Knapinski.
