Colombian authorities have recently released the official crash report, providing comprehensive insights into the precise circumstances surrounding the aircraft's tragic descent. The report specifically details most importantly how these four children managed to escape the crash unscathed.
From TMZ:
This is undeniably an extraordinary tale of survival, encompassing the moment of the crash and their remarkable endurance over 40 days in the unforgiving depths of the Amazon jungle.
For starters ... you can see that this plane lost its engine as it was falling out of the sky and that the mechanical piece itself ended up landing far away from the actual crash site.
Here's what else you can see ... the plane was totally crushed, but more so on the front -- as it appears to have nosedived straight into the jungle after flying too low and seemingly clipping the tree line. After that, the plane went plummeting straight into the ground.
The reason this is relevant to the children's survival ... their position in seating onboard. Investigators found that the kids were all sitting near the back of the plane -- whereas the adults, including their late mother, were upfront ... which explains how she died.
What doesn't make sense -- and what can only be described as a true miracle -- is the fact that the 1-year-old baby in the group (who also survived) was discovered to have been sitting in his mother's lap during the crash. And yet ... the infant somehow escaped death.
As we reported ... these kids not only lived through the plane crash -- which is incredible in and of itself -- but they went on to survive an extra 40 days in the jungle on their own.
The resilience displayed by these children is awe-inspiring, leading one to ponder the presence of divine intervention throughout their arduous journey.
