The Most Ridiculous Plane Crash Survivor EVER
Discover the crazy story of Juliane Koepcke, whose plane was hit by lighting, leading to her getting yeeted out of the cabin where she had a 10,000-foot plunge into the Amazon strapped to her seat, only to survive and endure venomous insect bites and botfly larvae, and emerging from the jungle to become a groundbreaking scientist still alive today.
