Firebird III: General Motors' 1958 Car That Looks Straight Out of a Sci-Fi Movie

Cam 'oo?

Jean Harlow as depicted in the painting "Farewell to Earth", by Tino Costa. It was commissioned by Jean Harlow’s mother after Jean’s untimely death on June 7, 1937.

Juliane Koepcke was 17 years old when her plane flying from Lima, Peru to the Amazon crashed - leaving no survivors but her. The plane was hit by lightning and broke into pieces, and - still strapped to her chair - Juliane fell 10,000 feet down into the middle of the rainforest. The teenager spent the next 11 days in survival mode, tending to her wounds with gasoline and eating sweets from the pockets of a dead passenger she found while walking.
She walked for days before coming across a small hut where three missionaries found her and eventually took her to the hospital by boat. Out of 91 passengers on board, including her mother, Juliane was the sole survivor. At just 17, she survived 11 days in the Peruvian rainforest alone.

That’s a big snake!
