A lone survivor has been found three days after a plane crash in the Bolivian jungle. Officials had declared all those on board dead, however Minor Vidal was found by a navy patrol. The cosmetics salesman was discovered on a river bank around half a mile from where the plane came down in the Amazonian jungle. The 35-year-old suffered rib and facial injuries in the crash. All of the other eight people on board the plane were killed. Mr Vidal told his rescuers he had slept in the wreckage surrounded by dead bodies on the first night after the crash. He had used his shirt as a flag to try attract the attention of rescuers. Captain David Bustos, who led the rescue, said the survivor had thanked God when they saw his signal: "He said he'd been trapped in the plane for more than 15 hours and that when he finally escaped he began to walk and survived by drinking his own urine and water from a lagoon." Minor's sister, Rosario told reporters of her relief that her brother had managed to survive, describing it as "a real miracle." It is believed that the plane ran into difficulty when it flew into thick smoke caused by forests being burnt to clear room for grazing.
^he should of ate the dead himself! anyways lucky guy 15 hours in the jungle is pretty crazy cause its probably dense as hell
god damned they really gotta stop burning rainforest for more grazing land. 1. its not sustainable (rainforest soil is poor in nutrients, only lasts for like a few cycles before its useless) 2. loss of many yet to be discovered species of plants, animals, etc 3. loss potential to find that miracle cancer treating plant/drug. makes me rage so much every time i read about burning rainforests for grazing D:<!!!
hahaha thats the first thing to came to mind when i read the article.... n then there was "Lost"....these stories always scare me a little, accidents with only one survivor...
