Original Article – A baby is among four children found alive in the Amazon forest more than two weeks after surviving a plane crash that killed their mother and two other people, Colombian leaders confirmed Thursday.
“After arduous search efforts by our Military Forces, we have found alive the 4 children who had disappeared due to the plane crash,” President Gustavo Petro said Wednesday, declaring “joy for the country.“
The Colombian Institute of Family Welfare (ICBF) said the May 1 crash, which claimed the lives of three adults, took place on the border between Caquetá and Guaviare in the southern central region of the country, about 250 miles south of the country’s capital of Bogota.
The agency said Wednesday the four boys and girls had “been found alive and that they are also in good health,” and their priority is now reuniting the children with their families.
As of Thursday morning, officials had not released the location where the children were discovered or the identities of the adults who died.
Photos released by the Colombian army, which deployed more than 100 soldiers and search dogs to locate the children, show hair ties, scissors and a baby bottle found Wednesday on the jungle forest floor in a rural area of the municipality of Solano.
Cause of Plane Crash
According to a preliminary investigation by officials, Avianline Charters Flight HK 280, was carrying seven people between Araracuara in Amazonas province and San Jose del Guaviare, a city in Guaviare, when it apparently suffered an engine failure before it went down, killing the pilot, another adult and the children’s mother.
The plane, a Cessna 206, along with the bodies of the adults, were found Monday in a forest, officials said.
The four children− ages 11 months, 4, 9 and 13 − are believed to have ventured into the Amazon rainforest where, according to Global outlet DW News, they “survived on fruits and built shelters using sticks and branches that were discovered by the rescue personnel.”
Avianline Charters reported the children “were being transported by boat downriver and that they were all alive,” CBS News reported Thursday.
The identities of the dead have not yet been released by government officials.
Just wow! Thank You Lord for keeping them safe.
Semi-good news…
be prepared to leave this world. You never know what GOD is going to put you thru. Hang on to Him and all is well.
Sounds fishy
That 3 adults died.
And all 4 (FOUR) children survived (ages ages 11 months, 4, 9 and 13) for 17 days?
Did Jeffrey Epstein have a satellite location in the Amazon?
Who ever posted about epsteien your sicko. The parent died but the kids durvived the.9 and 11 year old did a fantastic job the world should be proud of Them AND YOU ARE A USELESS PIECE OF SHIT
No one thought the parents were trafficking their own children.
People wonder if the parents were targeted (as ALL the adults conveniently died), to get to the kids.
Everyone is a sicko today. And we all should be rightly questioning EVERYTHING.
Look what is happening on the southern border.
