Key rescuers (Themselves)
On May 1, 2023, a Cessna 206 light aircraft (registration HK-2803) with seven people on board crashed in the jungle in the Caquetá Department of Colombia. Five passengers survived: the 33 years-old mother and her four children (aged from one year old to 13 y.o.). But the mother died four days later, a week before the search and rescue team reached the wreckage. But where are the four children? Rescuers don't give up…
