TL;DR Summary

Four Indigenous children survived a plane crash in the Amazon jungle that killed three adults and then wandered on their own for 40 days before being found alive by Colombian soldiers. The siblings, including an 11-month-old, were found with signs of dehydration and insect bites. It remains unclear how they managed to survive. The children belong to an Indigenous group that lives in the remote region. The president called them an "example of survival" and predicted their saga "will remain in history."
