We retell the true story of Juliane Koepcke and LANSA Flight 508, from a lightning strike and midair breakup to a brutal walk through the Amazon that ends in rescue. We also connect her survival to long-term purpose, including her recovery, her work in zoology, and Werner Herzog’s documentary that retraces her path.
• Julianne’s trip plan to reach a biological research station for the holidays
• Why Flight 508 enters the storm and what Juliane sees in the cabin
• The lightning strike, the nosedive, and the aircraft breaking apart
• Waking up injured in the jungle with almost nothing to eat
• Using survival knowledge to follow a stream toward help
• Insects, botfly larvae, thirst, and the daily grind of moving forward
• Finding the canoe, reaching the lumberjack camp, and getting medical care
• Full recovery, a PhD in zoology, and returning to the Amazon
• Wings of Hope and Werner Herzog’s near-miss with the same flight
Highly recommend you watch that documentary
Hope to see you then when we do our deep dive
