2. Juliane Koepcke
Juliane Koepcke - born -10 October 1954
Also known by her married name Juliane Diller,
She is a German-Peruvian mammologist
The only daughter of German zoologists Maria and Hans-Wilhelm
Koepcke
Her parents were working at Lima's Museum of Natural History
when she was born.
At the age of 14, she left Lima with her parents to establish the
Panguana research station in the Amazon rainforest, where she
learned survival skills.
Educational authorities disapproved and she was required to return
to the Deutsche Schule Lima Alexander von Humboldt to take her
exams, graduating on 23 December 1971
3. Juliane Koepcke
She became famous at at17 – As the sole survivor of the 1971 LANSA Flight 508 plane crash
After falling 3,000 m (10,000 ft) while strapped to her seat and suffering numerous injuries - she
survived 11 days alone in the Amazon rainforest until local fishermen rescued her.
Koepcke survived the fall but suffered injuries such as a broken collarbone, a deep cut on her right
arm, an eye injury, and a concussion.
She then spent 11 days in the rainforest, most of which were spent making her way through the
water.
While in the jungle, she dealt with severe insect bites and an infestation of maggots in her
wounded arm.

After nine days, she was able to find an encampment that had been set up
by local fishermen. She gave herself rudimentary first aid, which included
pouring gasoline on her arm to force the maggots out of the wound.
A few hours later, the returning fishermen found her, gave her proper first
aid, and used a canoe to transport her to a more inhabited area. She was
soon airlifted to a hospital.
Experts have said that she survived the fall because she was harnessed
into her seat, which was in the middle of her row, and the two seats on
either side of her are thought to have functioned as a parachute which
slowed her fall
As many as 14 other passengers were later discovered to have survived
the initial crash but died while waiting to be rescued.
After recovering from her injuries, Koepcke assisted search parties in
locating the crash site and recovering the bodies of victims.
5. Juliane Koepcke
Her mother's body was discovered on 12 January 1972.
Koepcke returned to her parents' native Germany, where she fully
recovered from her injuries.
She studied biology at the University of Kiel and graduated in 1980.
She received a doctorate from Ludwig Maximilian University of
Munich and returned to Peru to conduct research in mammalogy,
specialising in bats
She published her thesis, "Ecological study of a bat colony in the
tropical rain forest of Peru", in 1987.
In 2000, following the death of her father, she took over as the
director of Panguana.
She currently serves as a librarian at the Bavarian State Collection of
Zoology in Munich.
6. Juliane Koepcke
Koepcke's survival has been the subject of numerous books and
films, including the low-budget and heavily fictionalized I
miracoli accadono ancora (1974) by Italian filmmaker Giuseppe
Maria Scotese, which was released in English as Miracles Still
Happen and is sometimes called The Story of Juliane Koepcke.
She was portrayed by English actress Susan Penhaligon in the
film
Koepcke's story was more faithfully told by Koepcke herself in
German filmmaker Werner Herzog's documentary Wings of
Hope (1998).
7. Koepcke in 2010
I had nightmares for a long time,
for years, and of course the grief
about my mother's death and that
of the other people came back
again and again. The thought
"why was I the only survivor?"
haunts me. It always will.
