Juliane fell 3,000 meters—and woke up alive. 🌧️ . . . On December 24, 1971, lightning struck LANSA Flight 508 over Peru and tore the aircraft apart. Seventeen-year-old Juliane Koepcke plunged roughly 3,000 meters while still strapped to her seat, then followed a stream through the Amazon for 11 days. She was the flight's sole survivor.
