Juliane Koepcke is a German-Peruvian biologist and author who gained international attention as the sole survivor of the 1971 LANSA Flight 508 disaster, which crashed in the Amazon rainforest. At just 17 years old, she fell approximately 10,000 meters while still strapped to her seat and survived the impact, later navigating the dense jungle for nine days before finding help.
