E84: 100 Miles Through Hell

A small plane takes off from Uganda, carrying ten people toward what should have been an ordinary business trip. But 45 minutes into the flight, something goes terribly wrong. The pilot’s voice turns frantic over the radio. The aircraft drops lower. And then, a deafening crash echoes through the mountains. The plane is torn apart by the jungle. Passengers are injured. The wreckage disappears into one of the most remote and dangerous landscapes on Earth. And somehow… One woman walks away without a single scratch. Her name is Rosebell Kirungi. But surviving the crash was only the beginning. With no food. No shelter. No way of knowing if rescue would ever come, Rosebell finds herself trapped deep in the Rwenzori Mountains, surrounded by freezing temperatures, endless jungle, and dangers hiding beyond the trees. One by one, the survivors begin to disappear. Rosebell is about to learn that the wilderness took something from her… Something she would never get back. .

The wreckage disappears into one of the most remote and dangerous landscapes on Earth. And somehow… One woman walks away without a single scratch. Her name is Rosebell Kirungi.
