 He was only 11 when he survived a plane crash -- in blizzard conditions -- wearing only a t-shirt, jeans and tennis shoes. The crash claimed the life of his dad and two others.  Norman Ollestad turned his story into a riveting memoir that's so compelling, it's been optioned for a movie.  He joined us in our studios to tell us more about his new memoir, "Crazy for the Storm."
