    Crash-landing in a Colombian jungle is probably the last place you want to do it. Surviving is one thing, but being found is an entirely different matter.

    A mother and child did just that, after crash landing in the Colombian jungle – an incident which killed the pilot and saw them holding out for days on end.

    This, from the Guardian:

    A woman and her baby son have been found alive in the thick Colombian jungle five days after a plane crash.

    Authorities called the survival of 18-year-old María Nelly Murillo and her son Yudier Moreno a miracle, after their Cessna 303 plane crashed into trees in the north-west of the country.

    “It is a very wild area and it was a catastrophic accident,” Colombian Air Force colonel Héctor Carrascal told AFP.

    Murillo was pictured on Thursday looking exhausted, with burns on her arms, and clinging to a rescue worker after she was lifted from a rescue helicopter.

    But they didn’t find them immediately – listen to this:

    A 14-man team scoured the dense jungle for three days without finding the mother and child, then resorted to using loudspeakers to broadcast their presence.

    Mental.
