If you have not heard about it yet,read the story at Fox News about the four children who survived 40 days in the Colombian jungle after surviving a plane crash that killed all three adults onboard. Somehow the children survived and survived for 40 days to finally be found by rescuers. That they were found alive may be even more amazing than the fact that the survived - who has ever heard of any authorities continuing a search & rescue operation for 40 days! More at the source.
Something tells me that the 13 year old will be hailed as a hero, maybe the nine year old too, but my guess, and it is just a guess, is that the 13 year old had the wits about her to have saved them all.
While I suggest reading the story, let me say first, there is not much info in it yet. I hope they follow-up on it here in the American media, I'd like to know how they did it considering that an 11 month old baby was among the four and remember all four survived. It boggles the mind how they did it but so far the authorities in Colombia have evidently said that some of the reasons is that they are indigenous to that are of Colombia and knew which plants they could eat to survive. I am sure that sooner or later a book or a movie will be made about their ordeal. Of course, whatever they get from that will not make up for the loss of their mom in the crash.
All the best,
