In 1971, three Peruvian lumberjacks walked into an abandoned wooden house and found a 17-year-old blonde girl lying on the ground. Thinking of the recent air crash, the three suspected her as a survivor. But when the girl woke up, the first thing she said was, "Mother, I'm sorry." ”
The girl, Julianne, is 17 years old and was born into an elite German family, the father of a famous biologist, and the mother is also a doctor of ornithology. On December 24, 1971, Julian, who was at a rebellious age, had a whim to go to Peru to spend Christmas with her father. Although her mother was very busy, she was very tolerant of her, and immediately bought two tickets for Peruvian national airlines.
But when he called to inform his father, he said he was too hasty and worried about their safety. It turned out that the Peruvian country had a poor aviation reputation, with two major air crashes in 3 years. The probability of a world air crash is only one in 4.7 million, which shows how outrageous Peruvian national aviation is.
However, when her mother asked Julian again, Julian still firmly said that she must go to her father. Her mother couldn't help her, so she boarded a plane to Peru. The plane has been flying smoothly since take-off, but after reaching the Andes Mountains, the situation has suddenly changed, and the clouds outside the window have gradually become dense, and the lightning and storms have become more and more intense.
Julian felt the plane getting more and more bumpy, and although the flight attendants had been comforting them with the radio, they could not erase the bad premonitions in their hearts. In fact, the plane encountered extreme air currents, and the pilots chose to force them to cross in order to arrive before Christmas. But he was negligent, and the plane had only extremely small rigid wings and could not cope with extreme weather.
Just as Julian was looking uneasily out the window, there was a sudden explosion in her ears, only to see a bucket-thick lightning bolt fall from the sky, shattering the engine on the right wing of the plane. The plane without the engine suddenly jolted violently, the packages in the luggage rack fell off, and screams sounded among the passengers.
Julian's mother looked out the window at the parts of the plane that had been carried away little by little by the air, as if anticipating something, and she hugged Julian and said desperately, "It's over, it's all coming to an end." With that, the mother put Julian's seat belt back on, but there was no fear in her eyes, only love.
Just when the mother wanted to say something, the plane could not resist the impact of the air current, and instantly disintegrated at an altitude of 3,000 meters. Julian hurried to grab her mother's hand, but missed it. The air currents carried her mother away in an instant, and Julian flew aside with the three-person seat she was sitting in. The fear overwhelmed Julian and she eventually fell unconscious during the fall.
By the time Julian opened her eyes again, she was already seeing tall trees, rotting and damp dirt beneath her, and unknown animals making maddening cries in the distance. Julian couldn't believe she was alive, and when she saw the many broken branches above her head, she realized how lucky she was. After calming down, she hurried to check her body and found that her tibia was fractured, her arms were injured in multiple places, and her eyes were swollen. But compared to the great difficulty of not dying, this injury is nothing.
Julian looked around and knew that this was a tropical rainforest full of dangerous creatures such as poisonous snakes and crocodiles, and that she had to have enough experience to get out of this forest. Fortunately, in her early years, her father learned the skills of survival in the wild. After confirming her safety, Julian endured severe pain to find her mother, but unfortunately did not find it, but found a bag of candy, which can be used to replenish energy later.
Julian soon found a small river, and she knew that if she went down the river, she would find a populated place and not worry about fresh water. In fact, Julian had heard the Peruvian rescue plane hovering over her many times, but she could not get the plane to notice her with all her might. There was no way, she had to choose to walk out of the jungle alone.
Since it was the rainy season and the rainforest didn't have any fruit to fill her stomach, Julian had to eat candy and walked for six days. Several times she was so hungry that she was dizzy, and even wanted to catch wild frogs by the river and eat them alive. Fortunately, reason overcame her, and later she learned that the "wild frogs" were poisonous arrow frogs.
On the sixth day, Julian discovered that the river was a tributary and merged into a large river. If Julian wanted to go any further, she had to swim past piranha and crocodile territory. The strong desire to survive made her overcome her inner fear and resolutely swim over. Fortunately, the piranha and the crocodile did not seem to have seen anyone, and did not attack her in disbelief.
Julian continued to walk along the river for four days, still not seeing anyone, the candy had been eaten, and the body had reached the point where the oil ran out. Just then, Julianne staggered around a corner and found a dilapidated wooden house. She hurried inside and found a can of gasoline. Her father had said that gasoline could clean wounds, but she didn't believe it before. Now she picked it up and poured it into the wound, and under her washing, as many as 35 maggots were captured, all of which were turned into the best source of protein.
After doing everything, Julian could not hold on any longer, and her head was tilted and she fell asleep on the ground. Then the opening scene happened. Lumberjacks rushed her to the hospital for treatment, and soon Peruvian officials announced that Julian was the only survivor of the crash. However, a private news made Julian extremely sad, it turned out that when the rescuers searched and rescued, they found that Julian's mother did not die immediately after the crash, but struggled for several days before dying. Julian felt extremely guilty, if she tried harder to find it, maybe her mother would not die...
After the dust settled, Julianne has been living in the shadow of her mother's departure, but thanks to her father's encouragement, she was able to get out of the predicament and eventually worked hard to become a wildlife expert. Recalling the experience, Julianne often said: "As the only survivor, I often feel guilty and remorseful. But his father always went out of his way to tell her, "I've always been proud of you." ”
