In 1971, one of the most exciting aviation disasters in history took place in South America. Flight 508 of Lansa from Lima, Peru, towards the city of Pukualpa was suddenly captured by a powerful thunderstorm during a flight over a mountain range in the jungle.
Lightning hit the plane, breaking through his wing, and a strong fire began. The wings were torn, and the plane fell in the thick jungle at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. 91 people, including passengers and crew members, died in this plane crash.
But one single woman survived, 17-year-old Julian Kocha. She survived, thanks to her courage, endurance and determination. Huliana was in the back seat of the aircraft when he crashed in the jungle. She lost consciousness, but woke up a few hours later and found that she was the only survivor.
Huliana, who was a student and daughter of a famous Peruvian journalist, spent the next 10 days in the jungle, surviving in a minimum amount of food and water, looking for fresh water, food and cover from rain and cold.
She survived, eating fruits and nuts that she found in the jungle, as well as skillfully using her knowledge of survival in order to create shelter and find fresh water.
10 days after the Hulian disaster, it was discovered by a team of search engines who heard her screams and help signals. She was saved and survived, becoming a symbol of endurance and determination.
The story of Julian Kocha is a story about how even in the most hopeless situations you can find a way out if you don't give up
