CABRERA: Now to an amazing story of survival. She was missing more than two weeks after going for a hike in Hawaii. Family and friends feared the worst. But yesterday, rescuers searching from a helicopter spotted Amanda Eller walking barefoot in a mountain ravine and waving her arms to the sky. She had gone several days without food. She lost her shoes more than a week ago, we learned, but survived. This video shows the dramatic moment the 35-year-old yoga instructor and physical therapist was airlifted to safety. One of her rescuers was on CNN earlier. Listen to this.</s>JAVIER CANTELLOPS, LOCAL RESCUER OF AMANDER ELLER: It was nothing short of elation. We were -- we were in a really far east area, way past our original search area had been. That my initial theory, she kept on walking in the woods that's why we wouldn't found her. And we're going up this gulch in the helicopter, an open area, and we were looking down and the waterfall was coming and the river is coming, and the waterfall is coming and the river is coming. And we're all looking down and, like a movie, we all looked down pretty much at the same time and go look at that hiker. Oh, my god, and out of the woodwork you see Amanda waving her arms to us and we just lost it. Chris was like, wow. I was ready to jump out of the helicopter. She was like, seriously, I have been searching for you guys, you know. We'd been passing her. And she heard helicopters flying by her. And unfortunately, it was so thick, that it is a miracle that we saw her.</s>CABRERA: What a happy ending. Amanda Eller reportedly lost about 15 pounds. Her mom says she has a leg fracture but is in surprisingly good shape. West Point made history today. I'll tell you why when CNN NEWSROOM continues.
