Reader John Coogan has passed along this Google Video file containing Werner Herzog‘s TV documentary Wings of Hope (2000), which is about Juliane Koepcke, a German woman who was the only survivor of a plane crash that occured in the Pervian jungle in 1972. She and Herzog are shown revisiting the site of the accident as she tells how she managed to survive. The doc is freshly topical due to last weekend’s mid-air collision above Brazil which resulted in the deaths of 155 people aboard a commercial jetliner.
