Surviving a Plane Crash in the Amazon Jungle: The Incredible Story of Four Children and a Heroic Dog.

Four children miraculously survived 40 days in the Amazon jungle after a fatal plane crash that killed their mother and uncle. Soldiers and volunteers from local Indigenous tribes searched more than 1,600 miles of dense Amazonian rainforest over the course of six weeks before finding Lesly, Soleiny, Tien, and Cristin in relatively good condition. The children survived by eating seeds and hiding in tree trunks to shield themselves from animals. Their survival was attributed to their Indigenous background and knowledge of the jungle.
