A group of five individuals, including a child and pilot, were stranded for 36 hours after their plane experienced engine failure, forcing an emergency landing in a swamp in Bolivia. Rescued by fishermen, the survivors were in excellent condition despite the proximity of alligators. The group managed to survive by consuming cassava flour brought along. The incident highlights the dire circumstances and survival challenges faced in extreme conditions, particularly regarding the threat from wildlife and the scarcity of drinking water.
The passengers had to rely on cassava flour brought for the trip, as they faced dire circumstances without access to fresh water or the ability to escape.
Pilot Andres Velarde shared, 'We couldn't drink water and we couldn't go anywhere else because of the alligators,' reflecting the daunting survival challenges they encountered.
