Four children were rescued in the Colombian Amazon after a plane crash forced them to survive in the jungle for 40 days. The crash sparked a frantic search that transfixed the nation for over a month as the children were alone with little food and threats of wild animals like tigers and venomous snakes loomed in the rainforest.
WSJ spoke with a family member and the military general who oversaw the search to rescue the children sharing the challenges of the operation and how the youths survived.

Shout out to the military official for being a shining example of what a true man is.
All to Jesus🙏 They have been saved.
The kids where afraid of the army, for that reason they escaped all the time, they thought that the soldiers was guerilla

Almighty GOD kept these kiddos alive !!!
We need more stories like this. Praise the lord.
Why is it difficult to understand they moved? Because dead bodies would attract animals and therefore they moved away from the dead bodies.
I smell oscar movie
No matter how you look at this, from the crash, to the discovery, it is a miracle.
Hopefully the Colombian government don’t forget about them in few weeks . They need to continue to care and support them . Even more after the trauma of Losing their mother .
An inspiring great story, Hopefully, It will be in a movie. It will be a big hit worldwide.
OMG! Theres not a single tiger in Amazon!!!!!!! Hes so wrong
I'm so thrilled all the children survived. I had almost given up hope after the last report was proven incorrect. If the searchers hadn't continued, they wouldn't have survived. I hope they've found any dog that might have been lost, as well.
"indigenous" shame on Western media
