The girl on this picture above is a 17 year-old Juliane Koepcke. She was sucked out of an airplane in 1971 after it was struck by a bolt of lightning. During this terrible strike, she fell 2 miles to the ground, strapped to her seat and survived after she endured 10 days in the Amazon Jungle with series of injuries on her body.
After ten days, she found a boat moored near a shelter, and found the boat's fuel tank still partly full. Koepcke poured the gasoline on her wounds, an action which succeeded in removing the maggots from her arm. Out of 93 passengers and crew, Juliane was the only survivor of the LANSA flight 508 crash that took place December 24th, 1971.
