Surviving Siblings and Mother Overcome Colombian Jungle Plane Crash Ordeal.
Four Indigenous children who survived a plane crash in the Colombian jungle have shared limited details of their ordeal with their family, including that their mother survived the crash for days before she died. The siblings, aged 13, 9, 4, and 1, are expected to remain in a hospital for at least two weeks receiving treatment after their rescue. They survived eating cassava flour and seeds, and some familiarity with the rainforest's fruits was also key to their survival. The children are members of the Huitoto Indigenous group.
