Group of kids miraculously found alive in Amazon jungle 40 days after plane crash

Six weeks after a plane crashed four indigenous children have miraculously been found alive in the Amazon jungle.

Siblings, Lesly, 13, Soleiny, nine, Tien Noriel, four, and Cristin - who turned one during their ordeal in Colombia - were travelling in a light aircraft on May 1 when the incident occurred. It is believed the plane went down after suffering engine failure.

The crash subsequently killed the children's mother Magdalena Mucutui Valencia, as well as the pilot and an indigenous leader. As reported by the Mirror, the accident sparked a massive rescue and recovery mission from Colombian authorities in the south east of the country.
