Sole Survivors Of Airline Crashes
4) Annette Herfkens
Annette Herfkens is the sole survivor of Vietnam Airlines Flight 474 which crashed on November 14, 1992 in Vietnam. She managed to survive for eight days before finally being found. She was the sole survivor of 25 passengers (including her fiance) and 6 crew. The craft was the victim of a tropical storm. Herfkens was not the only person to survive the initial impact, but she was the only one to survive until a search party found them.
She was left in an immobile state on the jungle floor and survived by drinking rainwater and trying her best not to go completely mental. Herfkens returned years later to the site of the crash to climb the mountain where she once laid in terror. She recently released a book of the ordeal after years of silence.
