A plane crash left me lost in the Amazon

Antônio Sena is a Brazilian pilot who survived a dramatic plane crash in the Amazon rainforest earlier this year. He found himself alone, with very little food, and hundreds of kilometres from the nearest town. After waiting a week for rescuers to find him, he set off on an arduous trek into the dense forest. He tells Emily Webb that he kept himself going by eating fruit, and using knowledge of the Amazon that he had picked up as a child. His life was saved when he stumbled across a family of Brazil nut pickers, 36 days after his accident.Get in touch: [email protected]: Emily Webb Producer: Rebecca VincentPicture: Antônio Sena after being rescued Credit: Marcelo SEABRA / Brazil's Para State Government / AFP
