@skyversie: 72 Days Trapped in the Andes Mountain: The True Story of Flight 571 October 13, 1972. A Uruguayan Air Force plane carrying a rugby team and their loved ones crashed high in the Andes Mountains after striking a ridge in poor weather. The impact tore the aircraft apart, leaving survivors trapped on a frozen glacier with almost no food, little shelter, and no way to call for help. After search efforts were called off, they realized rescue was no longer coming. Facing starvation, they made the heartbreaking decision to eat the bodies of those who had already died. They also survived an avalanche that killed more survivors. After 72 days, Nando Parrado and Roberto Canessa hiked across the mountains until they found help. Their extraordinary determination led rescuers back to the crash site, saving the remaining 16 survivors in one of history's greatest survival stories. #societyofthesnow #flight571 #andesmountains #planecrash #survival
