after their plane crashed have shared limited but harrowing details of their ordeal with their family, including that their mother survived the crash for days before she died.
Indigenous Manuel Ranoque, father of the four Indigenous children who were found alive after being lost for 40 days in the Colombian Amazon rainforest following a plane crash, speaks to the media before arriving at the Military Hospital, where the children were hospitalized, in Bogota on June 11, 2023.Ranoque said before she died, the mother likely would have told them:"go away," apparently asking them to leave the wreckage site to survive. He provided no more details.
Later, Valencia provided new details of the children's recovery two days after the rescue:"They have been drawing. Sometimes they need to let off steam." He said family members are not talking a lot with them to give them space and time to recover from the shock. Authorities and family members have said the family survived eating cassava flour and seeds, and that some familiarity with the rainforest's fruits were also key to their survival. The kids are members of the Huitoto Indigenous group.
Gen. Pedro Sanchez, who was in charge of the rescue efforts, said that the children were found 5 kilometers away from the crash site in a small forest clearing. He said rescue teams had passed within 20 to 50 meters of where the children were found on a couple of occasions but had missed them. Colombia's army sent 150 soldiers with dogs into the area, where mist and thick foliage greatly limited visibility. Dozens of volunteers from Indigenous tribes also joined the search.
