German Librarian Remembers Harrowing Plane Crash

She was called the Miracle Girl in Peru.

Now she’s a librarian for the Zoological Centre in Munich. Yet she has a story to tell – a story of sheer luck, survival, and courage. She was the only survivor of the crash of a LANSA flight in 1971. As it happens, her adventure was only beginning after she survived a three kilometer free fall into the jungles of the Amazon rain forest.
