About this listen
In this episode, Lauren tells the incredible survival story of Juliane Diller Koepcke. In 1971, LANSA Flight 508 crashed over the Peruvian Amazon, and 17-year-old Juliane found herself stranded in a dense jungle, facing a huge challenge. Lauren talks about the calm yet determined actions Juliane took—from the shock of falling into the jungle to carefully navigating through trees, streams, and trails toward safety. Listeners will hear how Juliane used her quick thinking and resourcefulness to treat minor injuries, find water, and follow simple clues in nature that led her to a river. This story shows not only her physical journey but also the inner strength that helped her survive this overwhelming ordeal.
