Five people have been rescued after spending 36 hours atop a plane in an alligator-infested swamp in the Amazon after it was forced to make an emergency landing, local authorities said.
The small plane was found by local fishermen in Bolivia’s Amazonas region on Friday having been missing for 48 hours.
The survivors - three women, a child and the 29-year-old pilot - were rescued in “excellent condition”, Wilson Avila, director of the Beni Department’s emergency operations centre, said.
A search and rescue mission was launched on Thursday after the plane disappeared from the radar of the Beni Department in central Bolivia.
Hey everybody, this kid is just now realizing that the language people use reflects the world they live in!
Like it or not, we inherited a world where most professions were and still are occupied by males.
Honestly, you would get a lot more respect if you took a play out of the ‘worker male’ playbook and didn’t complain about every little thing that makes you slightly uncomfortable. Over time, people would stop treating you differently because you’re not acting different.
