 The Jungle Air Crash🛪


Juliane Koepcke






The summary of the English chapter 'The Jungle Aircrash' written by Juliane Koepcke is as follows:

  • Jungle Air Crash was written by Julian Kopke
  • She is a German citizen and a biologist by profession.
  • She is known as the only survivor of the 1971 plane crash.
  • Jungle Air Crash is an extract from the memoir she wrote called "When I fell from the sky".
  • It is an original account of the experience and escape of sixteen-year-old Julian Koepke.
  • She and her mother decided to celebrate Christmas with her father as he wrote a letter to Juliane and her mother to come over to Pucallpa.
  • She boarded the plane along with her mother from Lima to Pucallpa.
  • After some time, while the author was on the plane a storm started to arise.
  • The plane was thrown about vertically downward into a spiral.

  • The author could not breathe and lost consciousness
  • When she gained consciousness she found herself lying under her seat.
  • One of her eyes was swollen and she laid under the seat as she could not find anyone else nearby.
  • Her parents had tutored her that the big creatures weren't the real peril in the jungle. The real peril came from the small bones like insects, spider’s ants, canvases and mosquitoes. She kept thinking about her father who was waiting for her at the Pucallpa airport.
  • She saw a shack nearby on the ninth day of her wandering in the jungle. She saw three youthful men coming towards the shack.
  • These youthful men saved her from that hell and took her to her father at Pucallpa.
  • She thanked her luck for two phenomenons that had taken place
  • The first one was that she stayed at that spot on the ninth day.
  • The alternate thing was that fate had brought her to that place on that day when the men had come back. They only came only once in three months.
  • Had she reached that spot the day after, she couldn't have been saved.
