Plane Crash Survivor Juliane Koepcke

Juliane Koepcke was the only survivor of the LANSA Flight 508, and she somehow lived in the jungle for 11 days afterward until she was rescued. The plane fell two miles, and she was just seventeen at the time. She had a ruptured knee but still managed to fend for herself until she was rescued by a group of locals in the Peruvian rainforest.
