It was the Colombian president Gustavo Petro, who announced the discovery, safe and sound of four children, including an eleven month old baby. The latter survived alone 17 days in the Amazon jungle after the Cessna crash in which they were traveling with their mother.
The four children, aged thirteen, nine, four years old and an 11 month old baby lost in the jungle survived for 17 days in the virgin forest after the crash of the plane which was carrying them. The pilot, their mother and another passenger were found dead.
More than one hundred soldiers helped by sniff dogs were on the “track” of the children after the discovery of clues that hopes that the unthinkable was possible. Research was notably made difficult by the presence of wild animals and heavy rains.
But on Tuesday, the authorities announced that they had found personal effects, as well as in part fruits eaten. And a bottle near the device. The rescue teams then discovered a “makeshift shelter made of sticks and branches”, maintaining the hope that there would be at least one survivor.
The details on the way in which Lesly Bonbaire 13 years old, Soleiny Ranoque 9 years old, stayed 4 years old, and the baby Cristian Ranoque 11 months, survived the accident and remained alive for 17 days were not shared.
