Indiana pilot says he's lucky to be alive after crashing into Canadian mountainside

Indiana pilot Matt Lehtinen says he's lucky to be alive after his plane crash landed onto a Canadian mountainside. The father of two recorded everything he did to survive. Lehtinen was flying to Quebec City about two weeks ago when the plane's engine suddenly lost power, leaving him stranded in thick forest without help. Lehtinen suffered only minor cuts and scrapes from the incident – and as fuel leaked from the wings, he rushed back into the plane for supplies, despite the possibility of an explosion. Elaine Quijano reports.
