Miracle in the jungle

Not sure if anyone on here has mentioned this amazing story that hit the headlines on Saturday.

Four siblings, aged 13, 9, 4 and 11 months, who'd been missing for 40 days ago after the Cessna in which they were travelling crashed in the Colombian Amazon, have all been found alive and well.

The wreckage, along with the bodies of the three adults who were on board, were found 11 days after the plane went missing, but the children were nowhere to be found.

It has since emerged that the children's mother, who survived for four days after the crash, told the eldest sister that they should take off into the jungle to improve their chances of survival. It seems they survived initially on cassava flour taken from on board the plane, and then on fruit and seeds until they were finally found by rescue teams.

The kids were malnourished but otherwise ok. They are currently in hospital being nursed back to full health, but are at least back in the company of their dad, who was not on board the plane.

It must be a hugely traumatic experience for the children, but hopefully with the appropriate care they will be able to overcome this and go on to live full and happy lives.

How long do you give it before movie production companies start sniffing around the kids for their stories?

I was watching a film the other week where lots of people were doing it, they didn’t seem to mind, mind you they sounded German from what I could make out

“Ooh ja, ooh ja”

That is German isn’t it?

Also monkeys start giving birth to babies at 3-4 years old and raise them to adulthood. So a teenage human keeping an 11 month old cub alive for 4 days is hardly impressive. Try like 10 years, you lazy little PR*CK

The mother told the kids to leave the crash site as she died a few days after the crash.

It's an amazing story and huge credit should go to the eldest child to keep them all together and out of harms way.
