"55 years on"?
I didn't realise that WW2 was still raging in 1953.

Come on BBC - get your facts right.

Okay so a human body is dangling in the trees left there from WW2

So why exactly weren't they stepping over huge piles of monkey bodies to get to this human body?

Maybe something has eaten all the monkey bodys but has decided to leave this human body well alone

60-65 years? if it's true then it's amazing. I'm no forensic pathologist but can anyone with some knowledge on the subjedt comment on the likelihood of this being true? Could a body really survive that long in a forest canopy?!

The war in the Far East ended in August 1945, 63 years ago.

The KOREAN war ended 55 years ago.

Never let detail get in the way of a factually incorrect story.

Damn, no Pulitzer Prize for that journalist then.

How many facts in that story were actually correct?
