Alive is the movie that came out in the early 90's about the soccer team plane crash in the Andes

I was just reading about this the other day. She was supposed to leave on an earlier flight but delayed it so she could go to a school dance. There were also possibly others who survived but succumbed shortly after.

Probably Botfly. You don't want any kind of Amazon insects on or inside you.

Read the book “Lost in Shanghai-La” about a group that crash landed in a remote valley in Papa New Guinea. Valley was full of an uncontacted tribe of Indians.
3 survived the crash and it took like 4 months for the military to figure out how to get them out since helicopters couldn’t fly over the mountains to them. They eventually dropped a glider that could hold 5 (a pararescue element was dropped in shortly after the crash to help sustain efforts). Then they had a C-47 drop in low to snatch the glider off the ground with passengers in it. It remarkably worked.

Vesna Vulovic (Serbian Cyrillic: ????? ???????, pronounced [?êsna ?û?lo?it?]; 3 January 1950 – 23 December 2016) was a Serbian flight attendant who holds the Guinness world record for surviving the highest fall without a parachute: 10,160 m (33,330 ft; 6.31 mi)
from wiki:
quote:
Air safety investigators attributed Vulovic's survival to her being trapped by a food cart in the DC-9's fuselage as it broke away from the rest of the aircraft and plummeted towards the ground. When the cabin depressurized, the passengers and other flight crew were blown out of the aircraft and fell to their deaths. Investigators believed that the fuselage, with Vulovic pinned inside, landed at an angle in a heavily wooded and snow-covered mountainside, which cushioned the impact. Vulovic's physicians concluded that her history of low blood pressure caused her to pass out quickly after the cabin depressurized and kept her heart from bursting on impact. Vulovic said that she was aware of her low blood pressure before applying to become a flight attendant and knew that it would result in her failing her medical examination, but she drank an excessive amount of coffee beforehand and was accepted.
