In the 1960s, two young men, Milton Terra Verdi and his brother-in-law Augusto, embarked on an adventurous flight from Brazil to Bolivia in a Cessna 140. Despite their enthusiasm, they lacked proper planning for such a journey. They intended to refuel in Corumbá but were forced to land in the Amazon jungle due to fuel shortage and strong winds. Stranded with minimal supplies, they faced extreme thirst and hunger. Milton kept a diary detailing their struggles for survival, including attempts to take off again and find water. After Augusto's death, Milton continued to hope for rescue. Meanwhile, their family faced bureaucratic challenges while seeking help from authorities. After 70 days, Milton passed away just before rescue efforts located them. The story highlights the value of water and the tragic consequences of poor planning and bureaucratic indifference.
