ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this new episode, Crawlspace Media's Tim Pilleri and Lance Reenstierna delve into the extraordinary story of Juliane Koepcke, who survived falling from an airplane thousands of feet in the air. But surviving the fall was only the beginning.
On Christmas Eve in 1971, 17-year-old Juliane Koepcke survived a 2 mile fall into the Peruvian Amazon rainforest after LANSA Flight 508 disintegrated mid-air during a severe thunderstorm. Relying on jungle survival skills taught by her ecologist parents, she trekked alone through insect-infested streams for 11 days until she discovered an encampment of local fishermen who rescued her.
