In 1971, there was a huge air disaster in the Peruvian region, in which 91 people were killed, and only a 17-year-old girl survived. She fell from a height of 3,000 meters into the Amazon forest, survived in the rainforest for 10 days, and finally walked out of the jungle miracle to survive!

The 17-year-old girl, named Julianne, whose parents are german wildlife scientists, works in a protected area in Peru. On December 24, 1971, Julian and her mother boarded Flight 508 from Lima, Peru, to Pucalpa, ready to celebrate Christmas with her father, who worked there.

The plane has been flying smoothly since takeoff, but after reaching the Andes, the windows began to be cloudy, thunder and lightning, the plane began to get more and more bumpy, just as Julian looked out the window uneasily, there was a sudden explosion, a lightning bolt impartially broke the generator on the right wing of the plane, the plane without the engine jumped up and down violently in an instant, the passengers' packages and luggage fell down, food and trays crackled and flew, and the passengers cried and screamed.

Julianne recalled: "My mother was very calm at the time and said 'it was all over', and that was the last thing I heard from her. Then, the fuselage ignited a fire in just a few minutes, and the aircraft could not resist the impact of the air current, and disintegrated in an instant at an altitude of 3,000 meters. After a whirlwind, Julianne and the three-person seat she was sitting on fell down with great free fall, and Julian watched her mother being swept away by the air currents in an instant, trying to grab her mother's hand but could not.

The plane eventually crashed into the Amazon rainforest in Peru, but thanks to her mother's tight harness and the three-seat seat acting as a parachute, Julian landed on the rainforest canopy and then lost consciousness after falling to the ground.

By the time Julian opened her eyes again, she was already a tall tree with a damp, sticky mud mixed with the smell of burning after the plane crash. Jolianne recalls the scene: "I will never forget what I saw when I opened my eyes the next morning, the golden glow of the huge canopy above me, and I felt abandoned, helpless and completely lonely. My mother's seat next to me was empty. ”

When Julian had calmed down, she hurried to check her body and found that her collarbone was broken, her arms were injured in many places, and her thighs had a deep opening, but this injury was nothing compared to death.

Julian crawled with her hands and feet in excruciating pain to find her mother, calling out her mother's name all the way, but all she responded to was the sound of leaves in the rainforest.

The Amazon rainforest is the largest forest in the world, but it is also the most dangerous place. It was the rainy season, the air was hot and humid, the ground was full of rotting mud, countless unknown poisonous mosquitoes, and various dangerous animals such as poisonous snakes and crocodiles.

Julianne was wearing only a sleeveless dress, only one sandal was left on her feet, and her glasses were lost when she fell, so she had to have enough experience to get out of the rainforest. Fortunately, she followed her parents working in the field for a long time, so she learned a lot of skills for survival in the wild.

Julianne searched for her mother and searched for a way out, and luckily, without any food at the time, Julian picked up a bag of candy. In the days that followed, Julian was so hungry that she was dizzy several times, relying on candy to replenish her energy.

Julianne soon discovered a small river according to the jungle survival rules taught by her father, and she knew that as long as she followed the river, she could walk to a populated place. Julian recalls hearing the sound of Peruvian rescue planes many times, but the forest was too dense for rescuers to notice. There was no way but to find a way out of the jungle alone.

On the sixth day, Julian discovered that the river had merged into a wide river, and Julian had to swim if she wanted to go forward. The alligators that appeared in the river made her feel afraid, and finally the strong desire to survive made her overcome the fear in her heart and swim resolutely. Fortunately, the crocodile did not attack her.

Julian continued to walk along the river for four days, the candy had been eaten, and she did not dare to eat other plants or animals, because most of the creatures in the rainforest were poisonous.

Just when Julian was about to hold on because her body was about to hold on, she suddenly found a palm-leaf roof hut by the river, and she hurried inside, but unfortunately there was no one inside.

Luckily, Julianne found a can of gasoline inside, and she remembered that her father said that gasoline could clean the wound, so she took the gasoline to rinse the rotten wound on her right upper arm, and under her washing, she caught 35 maggots.

After doing everything, Julian could not hold on any longer and went straight to sleep. It wasn't until the next day that three local lumberjacks found her and rushed her to the hospital for treatment, where Julian finally met her father, who rushed over immediately after hearing the news.

In addition, Julian and the Peruvian authorities confirmed the location of the plane crash and requested to find her mother, but after several days of searching, Peruvian officials announced that Julian was the only survivor of the crash. Ninety-one passengers, including her mother, were tragically killed. And what pained her most was that search and rescue personnel found that her mother was seriously injured after falling and survived for several days before dying.

In the years that followed, Julianne often had nightmares, fear of flying, and filled with guilt over her mother's eventual death. But thanks to her father's constant encouragement, she finally overcame herself and worked hard to become a wildlife expert like her parents.

Whenever she recalls this experience, Julianne often says: "As the only survivor, I often feel guilty and self-blame. "The air crash in 1971 has become a pain in everyone's heart, and I hope that the air crash will not happen again, and every passenger who takes the plane can land safely!"
