Horrible History

78 - Guangdong, China & Lima, Peru (Death by Five Machete Chops)


Listen Later

We've got two bad bitches this week on Horrible History. First, Rachel heads to Guangdong, China to share the story of Ching Shih, a Chinese pirate leader who was active in the South China Sea from 1801 to 1810. Then, Emily heads to Lima, Peru to share the horrifying tale of Juliane Koepcke, the 17-year-old woman who was the sole survivor of the LANSA Flight 508 plane crash, then survived 11 days alone in the Amazon rainforest. Hopefully, you're horrified.
