After weeks of conflicting reports, the four children who survived a plane crash in the Colombian jungle have been confirmed alive, according to the country’s president.
In a miraculous story of survival, four children—including an 11-month-old infant—have reportedly turned up alive after escaping a plane crash and surviving 40 days on their own in the Amazon rainforest.that killed three other people, including their mother, on May 1. When authorities arrived at the scene to survey the wreckage of the downed Cessna 206, they found the children missing, kicking off a frantic search to find them.
“A joy for the whole country!” Petro wrote. “Four children who were lost for 40 days in the Columbian jungle have turned up alive.” After the plane crash that killed the children’s mother along with a pilot and another passenger, Colombian military personnel and local indigenous communities set out to find them. Soldiers deployed sniffer dogs and military aircraft to track down the lost kids, including a helicopter that strafed the jungle canopy while playing a recorded message from the children’s grandmother to stay put.
The final confirmation of their survival follows weeks of mixed messages. On May 14, Petro prematurely tweeted that searchers had found the children alive, citing information from the Colombian Institute of Family Welfare. But after defense sources disputed the finding to a Colombian newspaper, he took the post down and issued an apology.
