Colonel Hector Carrascal, commander of the Colombian Air Force in Antioquia department said, "It's a miracle. It is a very wild area and it was a catastrophic accident."

"His mother's spirit must have given him strength to survive" he added. After the crash a search and rescue team made up of 14 people searched the jungle for survivors.

Unfortunately the pilot of the plane, Captain Carlos Mario Ceballos, died.
