When I Fell From The Sky: The True Story Of One's Woman's Miraculous Survival

(This title is available on demand : expected date of dispatch will be 4-7 working days once ordered)
On December 24th 1971, the teenage Juliane boarded the packed flight in Peru to meet her father for Christmas. She and her mother fought to get some of the last seats available and felt thankful to have made the flight.

The LANSA airplane flew into a heavy thunderstorm and went down in dense Amazon jungle hundreds of miles from civilization. She fell two miles from the sky, still strapped to her plane seat, into the jungle. She was the sole survivor among the 92 passengers, which included her mother, and Juliane's unexplained survival has been called a modern-day miracle.

With incredible courage, instinct and ingenuity, she crawled and walked alone for eleven days in the "green hell" of the Amazon. She survived using the skills she'd learned while assisting her parents on their research trips in the jungle - before coming across a loggers' hut, and, with it, safety. Now she tells her fascinating story for the first time and on its 40th anniversary she shares not only the private moments of her survival and rescue but her inspiring life in the wake of the disaster.
