Sixty years ago, in the spring of 1965, Creighton couple James Maly, MD’46, and Jan McDermet Maly, SJN’48, were flying across South America when a run of bad luck forced them to crash-land their single-engine plane in the Amazon. Stranded deep in the Brazilian jungle, hundreds of miles from civilization, a “green hell” in every direction, the Malys and six others faced starvation, insect bites and life-threatening injuries. The crash was, the Malys later said, a gift from God. Read more about the Malys' adventure of a lifetime.
