[아시아경제 나한아 기자] A small aircraft he was driving in northern Brazil crashed and an isolated pilot was rescued after 37 days after struggling with monkeys to pick and eat nuts.

According to local media, the Brazilian Air Force and the fire brigade said on the 13th (local time) that they had rescued an aircraft pilot Antonius Sena, 36, in the jungle between northern Parazu and Amapa province on the 6th. Senna disappeared on January 28 when a small aircraft he controlled crashed into the jungle, and the crash point is known to be a remote remote area that is very difficult to access.

The rescue team, including the air force, fire brigade, and volunteers, conducted a search operation for more than 30 days, but tried to stop the search because it was so remote, but it was dramatically rescued when night farmers found Sena lying in the forest.

Senna wandered the road for three days without eating anything, and she also filled her hunger with the eggs and fruit she found fortunately, but she said that the main thing she ate was tree nuts. He said that when he was too hungry to bear it, he saw monkeys picking and eating nuts, and he said, “I watched what the monkeys were eating, and then I was able to find and eat the same thing and endure it.”

After returning to Brazil while flying a commercial aircraft in Africa, he worked at a restaurant in the northern region, but lost his job as the restaurant closed in the aftermath of Corona 19. On the third flight, I got into an accident.

He couldn’t eat anything else and mainly filled his stomach with tree nuts, and he lost about 26 kilograms of weight at the time of rescue, but he smiled, saying, “Thanks to the monkeys, I have a new life.”
