This is an amazing story. I remember reading about it in “Reader’s Digest” back in the 1970s, when I was a kid.
Incredible.
Okay, the SA after the name of the airline stands for sociedad anónima or anonymous society, the equivalent of incorporated in latin countries. It doesn't stand for South America.
Amazing survival story
This is a fascinating story
Swimming with a broken collar bone. Good grief.
Just to clarify, S.A. is an acronym for Sociedad Anonima or Stock Corporation in English.
What an amazing story!
female girl of john Rambo
I can’t imagine being conscious during the breakup of a plane, then actually surviving it. That’s just insane.
Reminds me of the Russian fight attendant who's plane broke up at 35,000 ft she had strapped herself into her jump seat in the tail of the aircraft just before the tail itself broke away and she fell that whole 35k ft fully conscious. She said she was pinned in by a large metal refrigerator from the galley and somehow it cushioned her impact plus the spinning effect, then she survived at the Siberian wilderness for like a week with a tiger stalking her at one point and was eventually rescued and she was the only survivor.
Vid suggestion: Schoharie limousine crash.
One extra bit I recall from reading about her story was when she found the other 3 victims
"On the fourth day, I heard the noise of a landing king vulture which I recognised from my time at my parents' reserve. I was afraid because I knew they only land when there is a lot of carrion and I knew it was bodies from the crash. When I turned a corner in the creek, I found a bench with three passengers rammed head first into the earth. I was paralysed by panic. It was the first time I had seen a dead body.
I thought my mother could be one of them but when I touched the corpse with a stick, I saw that the woman's toenails were painted – my mother never polished her nails.
I was immediately relieved but then felt ashamed of that thought."
For some reason her dread and the painted nails always stuck in my head
Juliane is truly a remarkable woman and it's a testament to her bravery, strength, knowledge and ingenuity that she survived. Most people don't have that level of combined skill to get through what she did.
3:10 Jorge Chavez? Isn't he the guy that stole the election from Trump?
This was a perfect setup of circumstances. She had survival training by living in a remote area growing up. Anyone else would have died for sure.
This is just incredible.
She is amazing. Holy crap. This is one of the most interesting stories I’ve heard…ever
The happy ending to this story were the words "LANSA shut down for good."
Your videos are amazing and I am a huge fan. Just a small correction: the S.A. at the end of the airline name stands for “sociedad anónima”, which can be translated into English as “corporation”.
Is there a movie of this? If not, how?
Definitely wasn't her time .
What made the plane to crash ?
HO LY SHIT! WOW! WOW! Wow.💥😳
Not at all important, but the SA in LANSA is for for “sociedad anonima,” a corporate marker a bit like “Corp” in English. It doesn’t mean “South America.”
ooh, that end quote was nice.
Absolutely bonkers people can literally fall out of the sky and survive yet you can trip and hit you head getting out of the shower and call it a wrap O.o
Great video. What a story! Absolutely incredible. Thanks so much for sharing. ✌🏽
Those poor people
Vesna Vulović has a similar story of survival falling from an aircraft at 33,000 feet, also a worthwhile story for the future
Where were her parents during WW2? Was she a Nazi?
She sounds like a real loser. May have been better if she perished in the plane with the other clowns.
Amazing story, but are we really gonna gloss over her being born by German scientist parents in Peru a very short time after WW2?
This person has neurogenetic contact with the vegetable universe.
It’s seems like this would make for an incredible movie! Like how has this not been made?
So her parents were Nazis.
Will this channel begin to cover any recent events like the Indonesian soccer stampede, Morbi bridge collapse, or Seoul crush?
What an amazing woman
Lanza pilots: we are flying a ton can made from the spare parts of other tin cans….. maybe we should fly around this terrible storm.
Also Lanza pilots: laughing…. Psh! Nah!! That’s silly we’d be late!
I saw the movie that this story inspired. It was quite remarkable. she certainly did have a penchant for perseverance!

Has there been a movie made about this yet? If not, there should be!
Her book is a must read! So glad you covered this story!
