Non-Fiction Memoir
She was 17-years-old on a Christmas Eve flight 40 years ago
to join her father for Christmas when the unimaginable
happened. The Lockheed L-188A Electra, on the way from Lima
to Pucallpa, flew directly into a thunderstorm. A strike of
lightning left the plane incinerated and Juliane Diller
(Koepcke) still strapped to her plane seat falling through
the night air two miles above the Earth.Her survival is
unexplainable and considered a modern day miracle. Her
mother was among the 91 dead and Juliane the sole survivor.
For eleven days she crawls and walks alone through the
jungle, fighting for her survival again with hunger and
despair her only companions as maggots eat their way into
her wounds. Juliane ultimately survives and goes on to live
an inspiring life as a scientist continually drawn back to
the terrain that threatened to take her. On the 40th
anniversary she shares not only the private moments of her
survival and rescue but her life in the wake of the disaster.
