Juliane Koepcke: How I survived a plane crash
Read the text quickly and check your ideas
It was Christmas Eve 1971 and
everyone was eager to get
home. Suddenly we entered
into a very heavy, dark cloud.
My mother was anxious but I
was OK, I liked flying.
Ten minutes later it was
obvious that something was
very wrong.
There was very heavy
turbulence and the plane was
jumping up and down, parcels
and luggage were falling from
the locker, there were gifts,
flowers and Christmas cakes
flying around the cabin.
When we saw lightning around
the plane, I was scared. My
mother and I held hands but we
were unable to speak. Other
passengers began to cry and
scream.
After about 10 minutes, I saw a
very bright light on the left.
My mother said very calmly:
"That is the end, it's all over."
Those were the last words
I ever heard from her. The
plane jumped down and went
into a nose-dive. The deep
roaring of the engines filled
my head completely.
Suddenly the noise stopped
and I was outside the plane.
I was in a freefall, strapped
to my seat bench. The
whispering of the wind was
the only noise I could hear.
I felt completely alone.
Then I lost consciousness
and remember nothing. Later
I learned that the plane had
broken into pieces about two
miles above the ground.
I woke the next day. The first
thought I had was: "I survived
an air crash."
Juliane Koepcke, 1971:
The 17-year-old and her
mother, a zoologist, were on a
plane flying from Lima, Peru, to
a small town in the Amazon
rainforest, when the plane was
struck by lightning.
More than 40 years later, she
recalls what happened.

Read the second part of the article.
I could hear the planes overhead searching for the wreck
but it was a very dense forest and I couldn't see them.
I was wearing a very short, sleeveless mini-dress and white
sandals. I had lost one shoe but I kept the other. I am very
short-sighted and had lost my glasses, so I used that shoe
to test the ground ahead of me as I walked.
Snakes are camouflaged there and they look like dry leaves.
I was lucky I didn't meet them or maybe just that I didn't
see them.
I found a small creek and walked in the water because I
knew it was safer.
At the crash site I had found a bag of sweets. When I had
finished them I had nothing more to eat.
It was very hot and very wet, it rained several times a day
and it was cold in the night.
By the 10th day I was very tired and felt so lonely. I was
walking along a larger river when I saw a small path into the
jungle where I found a hut with a palm leaf roof. I decided
to spend the night there. The next day I heard the voices of
several men outside. It was like hearing the voices of
angels. When they saw me they stopped talking. I
introduced myself in Spanish and explained what had
happened. They treated my wounds and gave me
something to eat and the next day took me back to
civilization.
Before the crash, I had
spent a year and a half
with my parents on their
research station only 30
miles away. I learned a
lot about life in the
rainforest, that it wasn't
too dangerous.
