In 1971 A Teen Falls 2 Miles From A Plane And Weeks Later She Shows Up Alive

By Zack Walkter

8 years ago

She only last remembered seeing the canopy of the Amazon, before losing consciousness upon impact.

Juliane had sustained a couple of injuries after the crash – a broken collarbone and multiple deep cuts. She spent a total 10 days in the Amazon jungle, all by herself. She only ate a bag of candy from the plane crash site, and some fruits.

She also came across multiple bodies, as well as noticing that multiple scavengers were gathering around the area – this meant that no one else survived besides her.

Juliane had no professional help, so she resulted in pulling maggots out of her own wounds. One day, she came across a group of lumber workers, who only spoke Spanish. Juliane was fluent in Spanish too and was able to explain that she was a victim of a horrific plane crash. She quickly received medical care as well as some food from them. The next day, Juliane was reunited with her father.

Today, Juliane works as a biologist back in Germany, picking up where her late mother had left off. Her Amazon survival is still, one of the most miraculous survival stories to date. Share away, people.
