I fell two miles out of a plane and survived

Outlook Inspirations nominee Juliane Koepcke was travelling on an internal flight over the Peruvian jungle when it was struck by lightning and disintegrated. She fell from over 10,000 feet into the rainforest and was the sole survivor of the crash. Her only injury was a broken collar bone and some cuts and she walked for 11 days to reach safety. She now campaigns to save the rainforest.
