(KSL News) The parents of a two-year-old boy who survived a plane crash in Idaho say there's no way to describe what they're going through.

Bill Keating was flying with his three grandsons when their plane collided with another plane mid-air.

Tyler was the only one on board who survived. Tyler's father, Chris Pickering, said, "There's really no time to grieve right now. The kid needs us, and he needs us to be strong."
