The pilot who was stuck in the trees for 12 days
Walking over a jungle bridge you can see an old airplane crashed into the jungle, the pilot suspended in the trees still wearing his parachute. The English pilot crashed the DC-3 plane into the jungles of Sumatra. His parachute got stuck in the trees. Unable to free himself he was suspended in the trees for 12 days and survived on fruit brought to him by a monkey.
