NEWBURGH, N.Y. (AP) — Two boys
trapped in a snow pile for about seven
hours after a plow buried them could
hear their worried family's cries but
couldn't respond loudly enough to be
heard, they said Friday. Police credited
an air pocket with saving their lives.
The two cousins, 11-year-old Elijah
Martinez and 9-year-old Jason Rivera,
were building a snow fort Wednesday
night across the street from Elijah's
apartment in Newburgh when a plow
operator clearing a parking lot
unknowingly pushed snow over them.
Buried in about 5 feet of snow, they
could barely move and couldn't breathe
very well, so they could do nothing as
they heard the anguished cries nearby.
Jason lost his gloves. His hat flew off.
They relied on each other to stay alive,
they said, sharing Elijah's face mask to
try and keep their hands warm and
talking to each other so they wouldn't fall
asleep.
"I felt so tired. It didn't feel real that they
were coming to get us," Elijah said at a
news conference at the hospital where
the boys were recovering.
Meanwhile, their parents were growing
more frantic, calling police and searching
through the snowy streets for the
children who were mere feet from the
apartment.
"I just kept telling myself: 'This is not
true. This is not real,'" said Jason's
mom, Aulix Martinez. "It was just scary,
and as time went on, it got scarier. I was
begging the police to please find them."
