On the other hand, kids from our part of the world probably would have stayed with the aircraft and not needed to survive for 40 days.How many kids (let alone adults) in our part of the world can survive for 30 days in their vicinity, while caring for an 11 month old?
I'd say next to none.
Our society of helicopter parenting and overfed kids with a video game in their hands at all times, is in fact responsible for creating human beings that are unable to function or survive outside a very small microcosm with a huge safety net.
Kudos to the Amazon inhabitants who teach their kids the real basics of life!
When extinction comes around for humans, we now know who will be the last survivors.

Dont need for the infrastructure fail, just the power going out causes widespread panic. Regardless in those jungle towns its a more a way of life for those kids than an educational requirement.But just wait until that infrastructure falters...
Not really. But they would have had to survive for 17 days since that how long it took them to find the aircraft. IMO, had the original story not made international news I doubt the "authorites" would have kept looking. We never counted on any govermental assistance to look for a downed aircraft and had plans specifically for that in SA and especially in the jungle environments.On the other hand, kids from our part of the world probably would have stayed with the aircraft and not needed to survive for 40 days.
