El... Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Right!? Amazing story. I'm so glad they are ok. Kind of makes those boxcar children look lame. 😜 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueenCat Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 It was interesting as to how the children were able to survive because of their backgrounds. They are used to survival skills from a very young age. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 The search and rescue effort sounded pretty amazing, too. I read that they recorded the grandmother's voice and played it from planes flying over the jungle, and they also dropped 10,000 leaflets with survival instructions for the kids. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyoffive Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 That is the most amazing story I have ever heard. I know I wouldn't last one day in the jungle. With all the things they could have faced it blows my mind they survived. I hope it becomes a movie, a book, a documentary, something. I want to hear the story through the eyes of children. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a really smart idea! I am always in awe of how amazing search and rescue professionals are. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 They also called a cease fire in the area and enlisted the indigenous people to help them search. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El... Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I think this is going to turn out to be a really sad story. I hope they will be ok in the long run. https://apnews.com/article/colombia-plane-crash-jungle-children-survivors-b522276c1af57aa15c836efadc287b46 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewelma Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I found it interesting that the photos in the NZ news had the kids faces blurred out, but in the USA news, you could see them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
