Four kids lost in the jungle for 40 days after a plane crash found alive in Colombia | New York Post

Four siblings, including an infant, were found alive and well in the Colombian jungle on Friday — a remarkable 40 days after the plane in which they were traveling crashed, killing every adult on board, authorities said.

The miraculous ending to the saga that has captivated the world was shared by President Gustavo Petro, who told reporters Friday that the children’s incredible tale of survival “will remain in history.”

The scrappy youngsters were ultimately located in the Amazon rainforest by one of the rescue dogs handled by soldiers with the Colombian army who joined the search weeks ago.

I audibly screamed "WHAT?" I've been following this story. I am so happy and shocked they survived.

I'm impressed they survived but also that the government kept up the seach for *40 days.* The media coverage was probably the key.

If this isnt a miracle tell me what is? They survived the crash. And 40 days in a the jungle alone and there was also an infant. This is just miraculous....they were not meant to die. Lord continue to bless the children ans may they recieve all the support they will need going forward. And may everyone who did not survive rest in eteral peace!

Is it even possible? It’s a miracle for adults to survive but for kids to make it THAT long?

Wonder how long before somebody thinks about making a movie about this.
