High school student Juliane Koepcke survived a two-mile fall into the Peruvian rain forest
In 1971 high school student Juliane Koepcke fell two miles into the Peruvian rain forest when her airliner broke up in a thunderstorm. Miraculously, she survived the fall, but her ordeal was just beginning. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe Juliane's arduous trek through the jungle in search of civilization and help.
We'll also consider whether goats are unlucky and puzzle over the shape of doorknobs.
