❤️Beauty Story❤️Strapped aboard plane wreckage hurtling uncontrollably towards Earth, 17-year-old Juliane Koepcke had a fleeting thought as she glimpsed the ground 3,000 metres below her.
The trees in the dense Peruvian rainforest looked like heads of broccoli, she thought, while falling towards them at 45 metres per second.
A wild thunderstorm had destroyed the plane she was travelling in and the row of seats Juliane was still harnessed to twirled through the air as it fell.
She lost consciousness, assuming that odd glimpse of lush Amazon trees would be her last.
But then, Juliane woke up.
The jungle canopy was now above her.
It was Christmas Day 1971, and Juliane, dressed in a torn sleeveless mini-dress and one sandal, had somehow survived a 3km fall to Earth with relatively minor injuries.
Walking away from such a fall bordered on miraculous, but the teen's fight for life was only just beginning.
She had crash-landed in Peru, in a jungle riddled with venomous snakes, mosquitoes, and spiders.
Returning to civilisation meant this hardy young woman, the daughter of two famous zoologists, would need to find her own way out.❤️Have lovely week all❤️
