Longer video so if you don’t have the time now bookmark it and watch it later. Crazy story that you should hear…

Werner Herzog made this film in 2000 to fully explore the survival of Juliane Koepcke, a German woman, who at age 16 was the lone survivor of the downed airplane LANSA Peruvian Flight 508.  In 1971 the plane was struck by lighting over a South American jungle which led to its mid-air disintegration and stranded Juliane to fend for herself.  Herzog and Juliane return to the wreckage and recreate her story of survival.
