Always wonders if the miraculous cushioned landing could be done.
Low and behold it has.

The plane was struck by lightning. The plane began to disintegrate in midair, and plummeted to the ground. Koepcke found herself still strapped to her seat—falling nearly two miles into the Peruvian rain forest.


In Juliane Koepcke’s case, experts point to the fact that she was harnessed into her plane seat during her descent, resulting in her survival, though not without breaking her collarbone. She was the only survivor of the flight. She spent most of her 11 days in the rainforest making her way through the water.


While in the jungle, Koepcke dealt with severe insect bites and a maggot infestation in her wounded arm, but after 9 days, she was able to find an encampment. She gave herself rudimentary first aid, including pouring gasoline on the maggot infestation. The maggots vacated the wound to escape the gasoline. A few hours later, lumber workers found her, giving her first aid, and taking her to a more inhabited area, where she was airlifted to a hospital.


After recovering from her injuries, Koepcke assisted search parties in locating the crash site and recovering the bodies of victims. Her mother's body was discovered on January 12, 1972. Juliane moved back to Germany and fully recovered from her wounds. Like her parents, Juliane earned a degree in biology and returned to Peru to do extensive research on bats. Her double survival story has been the subject of books and films, including her own autobiography, When I Fell From the Sky, and a documentary by director Werner Herzog called Wings of Hope. Herzog was interested in telling Koepcke's story because of a personal connection. He was slated to be on her flight in 1971, but a last-minute change of plans spared him from the plane crash.
Koepcke's unlikely survival has been the subject of much speculation. She is known to have been belted into her seat, thus somewhat shielded and cushioned, but the outer seats of the row — those on each side of Koepcke, which remained attached to hers as part of a row of three — are thought to have functioned as a parachute and slowed her fall.[3][4] The impact may have been lessened further by a thunderstorm updraft and the thick foliage at her landing site
