Four Indigenous children who had been missing for more than a month in the Colombian Amazon rainforest after a small plane crash have been found alive, President Gustavo Petro said Friday.
That is a very sad story indeed. Mother told children to leave her so they could survive
The mother of the four young Colombian siblings who managed to survive for almost six weeks in the Amazon jungle clung to life for four days after their plane crashed before telling her children to leave her in the hope of improving their chances of being rescued.
Reddit said these kids were dead weeks ago. You’re telling me that armchair experts were wrong?!
Wow! What an incredible and sad story.
An absolute miracle of a story, and strap your seatbelts because it’s a long one! Especially the fact that their mom died in an air crash, and because of that the duty was on the older sister, who was just 12, to take care of her siblings (one of them just a year old) in the middle of an extremely dense and dangerous jungle. For over a month, mind you. Them surviving with just some dehydration and mosquito bites is nothing short of heroic.
That’s insane. Sad to hear they lost their mother.
