News should be for the sole purpose of informing you of true facts, not being a way to make money. Money can be a side benefit, but online news should be 100% free.

Because as we all know the best reporters (those with the education, training, and experience it takes to dig up and effectively communicate the true facts) always work for free.

I watched that. It was fascinating. They took her back to the place where the plane crashed and then traced her steps to where she finally found someone to help her. Fortunately, her parents were researchers who lived in the rainforest and had taught her some survival skills which came in handy as she walked downstream in the water.

Pay to read? You gotta be kidding. You shouldn't put those types of articles on here.

This reminds me of Vesna Vulović from my ex-country who survived fall from 33.000 ft.

Watch the YouTube video "Wings of Hope." It's about an hour long.

I unexpectedly met the filmmaker of "Wings of Hope", Werner Herzog, in the mid-80s when he emerged from the freight elevator into the NYC loft I was staying in. I offered to make him coffee and he demanded, "None of that candy-ass sh*t!" so I made him a dense pot of espresso.

How like the New York Times it is to hide such a great story behind a pay wall. Shameful.

Multiple comments call this clickbait. Wikipedia's definition is "Clickbait is a text or a thumbnail link that is designed to attract attention and to entice users to follow that link and read, view, or listen to the linked piece of online content, with a defining characteristic of being deceptive, typically sensationalized or misleading."

I don't see anything "deceptive, typically sensationalized or misleading".

From the article: 'As she plunged, the three-seat bench into which she was belted spun like the winged seed of a maple tree toward the jungle canopy. “From above, the treetops resembled heads of broccoli,” Dr. Diller recalled. She then blacked out, only to regain consciousness — alone, under the bench, in a torn minidress — on Christmas morning. She had fallen some 10,000 feet, nearly two miles. Her row of seats is thought to have landed in dense foliage, cushioning the impact. Juliane was the sole survivor of the crash.'

Total BS that you print a con job piece like this trying to force one to subscribe to the Pravda New York Times. I'm now done with the both of you !

I remember they made TV movie about this, (yes, I am antique)….I was reading this with interest when I got an obtrusive pop up telling me if I wanted to finish the story, I would have to pay a subscription! I may be old, but not stupid. They should not run stories that try to bilk money from you!

Incredible story of resilience and determination in the face of multiple hazards to be rescued. Almost unbelievable. Someone was watching over her. My personal philosophy is if you don't die in that crash & subsequent evac, you never will go that way.

No you can’t. I’m on a VPN. I get the ‘you’ve reached your limit of free articles’ garbage immediately.

Outstanding story. Thanks for the story.

Don't like it? Don't open it. Your hometown newspaper charges to read it.

You will send Trump $500 but not spend a dime for a newspaper.

No one said anything about Trump but you...

And actually, my hometown newspaper charges for a print subscription but not access to online articles. NYT says "you've reached your limit of free articles" when, in fact, you haven't viewed any. That's kind of sleazy, IMHO.

You’re right. Because the US media has proven itself unworthy of my hard-earned dollars.

The NYT has proven that it is no longer worth funding. It stopped being the “paper of record” and has decided to become the propoganda wing of the Democrat party.
