KINTSUGI - The Japanese Tradition

The Girl who survived 10,000 ft. Free Fall.

When 17-year-old Juliane Koepcke finished her school, she went along with her mother to join her father at a research station in the Amazon rainforest. At about 21,000 feet, the plane got caught in the middle of a big storm. The cabin began tearing apart into pieces. Strapped to her seat and hanging head-over-heels she went into a 10,000 feet free-fall from the sky! She later survived for 11 days in the Amazon Rainforest.
