Angel Falls - A fifty word story
Source
Jimmie Angel, adventurer, explorer and pilot flies over the great inhospitable jungle of South America, obsessed in the search for lost river of gold, flaw in his plane takes him by surprise, having to make a forced landing on an abrupt plateau, where the world's highest waterfall is hidden.
This was the story our teachers used to tell us at school in my country about Salto Angel (The great Angel Falls), world’s tallest waterfall, named after Jimmie Angel. Thanks God the accident had no casualties and he finally was rescued.

Wow, so this is based on a true story? That is so cool! Thanks for your entry in the challenge!
Yes, well, as children, teachers told us he was an explorer, but never mention anything about the gold fever. There's always a motive, isn't there? But it does not take away his courage to travel to an inhospitable jungle
Lucky? :D
I dont get it. Lucky to be alive? or lucky to find the place?
Everything
Was it luck that he survived?
Was it luck that he found the place?
Was it luck that the plane had a flaw?
:D
Yeah! you're right! It must have been his destiny
