She Fell 10000 Feet From A Plane And Miraculously Survived

Imagine this. It was Christmas Eve back in 1971 and a plane called LANSA Flight 508 was flying over Peru when lightning just ripped the aircraft apart in mid-air. Among the passengers was a 17 year old girl named Juliane Koepcke. She had literally just graduated high school the day before. Still strapped into her seat she plunged more than 10000 feet straight down into the Amazon rainforest. And here is the truly incredible part. She miraculously survived. She woke up all alone with only minor injuries. Luckily she remembered some survival skills her parents had taught her. She followed a stream drank rainwater and rationed a tiny bag of sweets she found in the wreckage. After trekking for 11 days through that dense jungle she finally reached a remote logging camp. That is where she was found. She was the only person to survive that whole disaster. #SurvivalStory #TrueStory #HumanResilience #ChristmasEve #PlaneCrash #AmazonRainforest #MiracleSurvival #InspiringStories
