Bolivian Air Crash Victims Spent 36 Hours in Swamp with Alligators and Snakes (3 photos + 1 video)
This story could easily be made into a movie in the best Hollywood traditions. 
A light aircraft with 5 people on board (including the pilot) disappeared from radar during a flight from Baures in northern Bolivia to the city of Trinidad. Rescuers searched desperately for almost two days and found it half-sunken in a swamp.
On the part of the plane sticking out of the water were the survivors - three women, a child and a 29-year-old pilot. There was catastrophically little space there. They had to spend 36 hours without food, water and communication. And the worst thing was that it was simply impossible to leave the crash site on their own. 
Alligators and snakes were waiting for them in the water. The reptiles did not attack people only because gasoline was leaking from the damaged plane and poisoning the water. But they did not swim far, apparently waiting for the victims to fall into the water from exhaustion. But these people were incredibly lucky - they were seen by fishermen swimming by. They called the rescuers.
Pilot Andres Velarde told local media that engine failure caused the plane to make an emergency landing near the Itanomas River. According to him, the plane suddenly began to lose altitude, and he was forced to land it in a swamp near the lagoon.
There is currently no threat to human life.
