The next day, a helicopter and rescue crew from the Utah Department of Public Safety was dispatched to lift them out, but weather and poor visibility hampered the efforts until a break in the weather allowed the rescue to be completed. вЂњHe said, вЂIвЂ™ll be honest with you, you should be dead or unconscious right now,вЂ™ вЂќ Osmun recalled to ABC News. One of the rescuers who found Osmun told him he was lucky to be alive. He was not freed from the quicksand until late in the night, forcing rescuers to stay with him as temperatures plummeted and the park received another 4 inches of snow. вЂњThe water was so cold I thought for sure IвЂ™d lose my leg because there was no way she was going to be able to get there fast enough to have people come get me out,вЂќ Osmun told ABC News.ДЄfter hiking alone for hours, McNeill was able to call for help, and rangers located her close to the trailhead, according to a news release from Zion National Park that detailed the rescue.ДЄ search-and-rescue team immediately set out to look for Osmun, whom they found several hours later. The weather was most likely a contributing factor.вЂќ вЂњWe have been unusually wet here this winter. вЂњQuicksand is not normally a problem at Zion, but it does happen if conditions are right,вЂќ said Alyssa Baltrus, a spokeswoman for the park. If something - like a limb - is submerged, it is incredibly hard to escape.

If exposed to a sudden shock or stress, like the weight of a hiker, it can become unstable. Quicksand forms when water or air becomes trapped in sand. вЂњThe sand had surrounded the whole leg, and I couldnвЂ™t move it.вЂќ

вЂњThere was no chance of moving it at all,вЂќ Osmun told CBS News. When Osmun attempted to rescue her, he too became trapped and buried up to his knee. On Saturday, Ryan Osmun, 34, and Jessika McNeill from Arizona were about three hours into the Subway trail route in UtahвЂ™s Zion National Park when their scenic walk took a turn. It was like a scene out of a horror movie: two hikers, alone in the frigid wilderness with no cell reception, suddenly stumbled into a pool of quicksand.
