Widow of plane crash victim who saved his daughter: It was a 'miracle and a tragedy'
CNN
The 11-year-old sole survivor of a plane crash Saturday in Michigan is "doing amazing," her mother said.
Christie Perdue's husband, Mike Perdue, did not survive, but she believes he saved their daughter, Laney, by holding her tight as the plane crashed.
"It was a miracle and a tragedy, all in one day," Perdue said on CNN Wednesday. "It's hard to balance all those emotions."

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
