Yeah was reading about this yesterday. Incredible story especially considering one of them is a 11 month old baby.

 

[Efour]

yeah i thought it was 4 days then my double take, 4 weeks! The eldest daughter/sister should be set for life for that effort.

Alive Reloaded?

Incredible story.

 

[Minstadave]

Incredible. Keeping a one year old alive for a month in the jungle is no mean feat.

The way you’ve written that implied you’ve tried

 

[CapitalOne]

It's certainly more of an extraordinary crash than a plain one

It would have been with me there, I'd have wanted to eat it

 

[D.P.]

sometimes these things just beggar belief.

 

[mickyflinn]

Amazing.

I couldn't last 24 hours at the local park.

 

[GlitterBalls]

Wow!!

 

[Thekwango]

It would have been with me there, I'd have wanted to eat it

Not enough meat, be better making a decent soup with it!

 

[Chris Wilson]

Thanks, cannibalistic cooking isn't my speciality, but a tasty morsel other than bugs and snakes would have appealed

 

[Cornubia]

A remarkable story.

 

[leemk]

Think it helped a lot that they where from Columbia so the 13 year old girl new what was edible , probably if it had been some one from the civilized world they would have been dead within a week.

Amazing - ? Western equivalent would be MCDonalds/JE/gusto closing down

Amazing story, but also seems to me, something "odd/doesn't add up"

mother dies, 2 pilots die - but the 4 children survive the crash (miracle 1) and then somehow survive 40 days in the jungle - including an 11 month old baby....(miracle 2) - Claims they ate flour and berries for that whole time.

 

[Chris Wilson]

Cocaine and berries, what more do you want?

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Fair play that must have been tough. Their mistake was leaving the crash site though.

It was probably the fact that kids actually wore seat belts while adults thought they were too cool and were chucked out of seats.....no miracle just basic transport safety that people don't bother with.....
