Five people have been rescued from an alligator-infested swamp three days after their plane crashed in the Amazonian jungle in Bolivia.

Everyone on board – three women, a child and the 29-year-old pilot – were rescued from their perch atop the capsized plane in "excellent condition," officials said.

The passengers were found “huddled together on the fuselage of the small plane" after surviving there for more than 40 hours, Red Uno stated on Instagram. In footage posted by the outlet, the survivors are seen being transported to helicopters on stretchers by emergency responders after being rescued.
