TL;DR Summary

Four Indigenous children who survived a plane crash in the Amazon jungle 40 days ago were found alive and alone by searchers. The children are receiving medical attention and are an "example of survival," according to Colombian President Gustavo Petro. The Cessna single-engine propeller plane crashed on May 1, killing three adults. The bodies of the adults were found two weeks later, but the children were missing. Colombia's army and Indigenous volunteers searched for the siblings, ages 13, 9, 4, and 11 months, and found them with the help of thermal blankets and a bottle for the youngest child.
