- On December 21, 1972, two members of a rugby team from Uruguay - who had been walking through the snow-capped Andes mountains - encountered a shepherd.
They told him they had been in a plane crash and had been walking for 10 days. They had no food and were weak. There were 14 others still back on the plane.
The shepherd rode on horseback for eight hours to contact police, who sent helicopters to find the crash site.
It was over two months earlier, on October 13, 1972, when the chartered plane carrying the rugby team to Santiago, Chile, crashed in the Andes mountains.
Initially, 33 people remained alive. For 70 days, the survivors endured temperatures of 22 degrees below zero waiting for help. It never came.

Suddenly got obsessed watching interviews and documentaries after watching society of the snow from Netflix.

Me too! I just can't get over it❤

A fucking hero! Nobody can imagine the pain you felt. Nobody can judge your actions.
There is nothing to judge. 💙
Well humans love to judge what they don't understand
True that! What an extraordinary human being
Wow this man is a great inspiration... what a achievement that he survived that, the 10 days walk, without any shelter in the snowy mountains, with damn cold nights alone is unbelievable!!! 😲😲😲
Absolutely Incredible and sad story. Roberto and Nando are real heroes!
And Antonio😭
They all are
Full movie link please.
True heros
The story may be sad, but there is a happy part to it -- some SURVIVED and were RESCUED to meet their loved ones again, and to tell their story to the world!! INCREDIBLE!!
He tells this story and paints a picture in a very articulate way .....doesn’t seem to get too excited or emotional ... probably why he survived !!... amazing story !
Imagine 45 sjws being put in the same situation. The crash itself would look like a birthday party compared to what would follow...
@Indy Sanders The *real* question is why there's always someone criticising them while just proving they're extremely butthurt about what's being said?
@Indy Sanders Why did you just drag your own political standpoint into this then you hypocrite? Figure that one out and you have the answer to your own question.
@Indy Sanders Well that's nice, but the point is that you just implied that there was something wrong in bringing politics into everything while you yourseld did the exact same thing while seemingly not realizing it. You're basically telling me not to do what you're doing, while at the same time preaching about what one should do. Do you see how backwards that is? All while using low key ad hominem tactics every now and again. Perhaps the last sentence was projection?
@@Gonken88 lol most of us wouldnt survive, idk what sjws has to do with this.
This story makes me get out of my chair. To live. Be busy. Exercise. Thank you so much.
I've been fascinated with this story since I was a teenager. What a powerful testimony and a true example of what a man's willpower can get him through.
i’m 57 and i don’t recall knowing this story !
@@louern123 It was made into a movie in America called Alive. I remember seeing it in the theater with American actors in 1993 when I was 22. Had I not seen the movie I wouldn't have known about this story either.
@@SusieQ1971 🙏🏻
The book Alive was written in 1974 only 2 yrs after the tragedy. I read it in high school 1980. One of few books I actually completed in high school. Tremendous story of survival.
I love the way he keeps talking about his mommy. Very sweet.
Yes 😍😍😍😍
Kind of sick
In Latin America, mothers are sacred to their children, it is the greatest love, it is a devotion.
@@arturovencessilva9601In any culture mothers are sacred to all daughters and sons. I would cry for my dear mom no matter if I were suffering from a simple stomach/headache or in a war if I were to ever enter one. Your mother is the only person who will love you unconditionally. If you have a mother alive (and have a good one as well, as in non-abusive, understanding, loving and caring) cherish their attention, care and love. One day, it stops and that day you will miss her the most. No matter the circumstances such as horrifying and tragic as Andes Plane Crash or any other, you will always remember your mother.
@@arturovencessilva9601 his family is also italian, so that makes it even worst haha.
José Luis 'Coche' Inciarte, who lived this tragedy at the age of 24, died from cancer on 27 July 2023. Like most of the passengers on that plane, he was not part of the rugby team.
With a badly injured leg he had to 'operate on' with a razor blade to drain the pus, and seeing the days go by with no news about the expeditionaries (Canessa and Parrado), he decided to wait until Christmas Eve to let himself die in the Andes. Fortunately, the rescue helicopters arrived on 22nd December.
He is described by the survivors as 'the sense of humour in the mountains', and as the one who brought tenderness to the hell they were living in.
Roberto is a hero. I got to meet Roberto a few years ago after suffering a medical problem.what I come to learn is how many l8ves hes saved and touched in the years after the accident. Hes a great inspiration..God bless
No need to cap
You're not any monsters You're just wonderful heroes 💓
Why are they heroes?
@@bggraham83 why not?
@@bggraham83 because those two hiked 40 miles to save 14 other people. Gtfo.
It is outrageous to designate as "monsters" people who did the only thing they could do to survive.
@@bggraham83 Exactly the reason you're not
Imagine how many times this man has told this story 😭😢
Who is here because of netflix? Such an incredible story
Me
Meeee. The movie was incredible and catchy
Not me I watched the movie alive as a child and it took with me so I rewatched it now
Im here after hearing Carlitos story, amazing demonstration of human resilience.
Cant help thinking his face has something young about it. Like he is keeping this experience from his youth with him the rest of his life. Great man.
This guy is incredibly wise. I saw other survivals talk, but this guy is really smart, well-spoken and deep. Hopefully no one has to go through this ever again.
Yes because he is a doctor
The survival of so many after so long just proves that searches for missing flights should NEVER EVER be called off.
True am still looking for mh370😊
@@semoneg2826 it's down in Indian Ocean
De acuerdo deben seguir buscando hasta encontrar.los restos.
No pueden suspender búsquedas, sin estar seguros si la gente vivr o muere. Es un grave error. Qué bueno que ellos con su inteligencia se ayudaron y se salvaron por sí.mismos.
I'm a flight attendant for a major airline for 30 years. I've had my share of onboard emergencies. I saw the movie long after I'd heard the story. Words don't describe how I feel about this entire event. I'm so impressed with the humiliation and articulate way how he told his story. How innocent and perseverance and determination paid of. I'm proud of all the survivors especially this man.
I`ve met this guy in person. Such a blessing
wow
Incredible courage & willingness to survive . Those that judged them shame on them !
wait what? I hardly know anything about their story, but im guessing they judged them of eating human flesh? wow
@@dokanyonyes
I may not have eaten the flesh but how dare me judge them
WOW! what a strong dude. They don’t make too many like this anymore.
It is ASTONISHING that they survived! This is a survival story of the ages. Remarkable men!
The Andes's survivors story fascinated and shocked me as I was 11 years old, when I read Piers Paul Read's book. Of course, I watched the film "Alive!"...and I decided that, one day, I would visit the crash site. I finally went on trekking there in 2017. I was already 50 years old...a middle-aged man on a very, very dificult journey. Although I had climbed mountains since I was 16 years old, I was overweight. So I had to train for several months to regain breath and muscular resistance: It took me over one and a half year to be physically prepared. Of course, we went on there at the time of year when there is no snow, and equipped with all standard mountaineering equipment, as well as guided by professionals who know these mountains well. When I arrived the crash site, the first thing that came in my mind was: "I'm climbing with all this gear, outerwear, protein bars...but Canessa and Parrado had nothing but their will to survive. Wow. They're supermen. They're heroes."
Its so brave of you too sir ! For making it in your life!!!
The will and strength of their human spirits will amaze me forever. Two starved, underweight men trudging through snowy, mountainous, dangerous terrain in temperatures of at least minus-20 degrees Celsius for TEN DAYS wearing only regular trousers, shoes, a few sweaters and jacket and hat. It's unbelievable that they made it. Nando Parrado and Roberto Canessa are incredible men. 💙💙
I can't imagine walking 35 miles through sub zero temperatures.....
Exactly, but they had no choice!
Roberto Canessa and Nando Parrado are stunningly amazing people.
the rancher who riding the horse near the river is true heroes after these two man in the fateful event..
There is a passage on the book that says that the rancher threw 6 pieces of bread to the man but nando eat 5 and left only one for canessa.
@@lilsamantha1 its 4. Nando ate 2 bread and brought the remaining two bread and they ate together 😀
@@simplyelyza8572 yes your right. but you do remenber reading that nando said canessa was selfish and made a comment about his profession?
I was very young but I remember the newspaper report about your survival! I recall the picture of you both! God bless you all! I've read the book and follow you all! You are all an inspiration! Thanks for sharing your story!
@Dee R first book was Alive. I now look them up on youtube. Some of the videos are in Spanish. But are fantastic! Some people now hike back to the site! So crazy! Just search. All kinds of stuff will come up.
Oooooo😱 you was there when you heard the news??!!
You can see the joy of life and then sadness in his eyes when he talks about what happened. Not to him but others and how he survived...
This man is a complete hero, most doctors are, most rugby men are, God bless Doctor Roberto!
How incredibly brave and honest this guy is
I highly recommend thie book Alive about this incident. I read it multiple times when I was young. Canessa was a true hero.
Still is
wait till u see the movie
I love that book
Alive is a third account writting by someone else who wasnt there. Its better to read the books from the actual survivors
@@lilsamantha1 That’s not accurate at all. He worked with the survivors, as well as the survivor’s families while writing the novel.
Amazing and uplifting interview!
There are no words other than respect.
This is some special video of him you have here. ❤❤❤ thank you for sharing!
Incredible strength & respect. I'm so sorry you all went through what you all did.
What a beautiful man to tell his story and survival of others.
Great respect 4 U sir.. Ur A true model of determination & will 2 survive.. Godbless thnx 4 having U as an inspiration in ds generation..
It's now been a little over 5o years ago but to the remaining living survivors it will always be something that you just can't get over. God bless them all.
Such strength and courage! What a story!
Yes, the movie is ok. The book is much better. The real story, told by those who lived it are the best of course.
can i know the titlle of the movie? tq
@@ainzahra5589 Alive.
Absolutely agree. Definitely recommend watching the documentary over this.
Roberto and Nando were GORGEOUS when they were young! So happy they survived 🇺🇾🥰
Amazing story. I admire him and the rest of those men very much 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I have been in situations similar (but NO WAY AS SEVERE AS THIS) and the mantra “do you give up here or do you push forward a few more steps?” Is a solid part of my soul at this point. I use to like the phrase “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” which is usually true for many people however what happens when it kills your soul? These survives had titanium souls. Even if I survived I can’t honestly say I would have been okay. I hope they all know they did what they had to do. No one can judge any actions they choose to take to survive. I pray they are all at peace with the outcome.
My favorite survival movie ever! God bless you all! Will never forget this movie!!
the most phenomenal story of modern survival in the 20th century. I missed the ABC 20/20 special on May 22nd 2023,and sought them here. God bless them all.
Roberto Canessa, the greatest hero of our time!
Nando Parrado is the greatest hero second Roberto Canessa
@@nezaotonashi9394 That is great you feel that way, but for some of us it is Roberto. I have my reason's why, and i am sure you have yours. I personally feel Nando would not have made it without him. Nando would have left to soon, and the winter storms would have done him in. Also Roberto spotted a road, Nando talked him out of it, had they went to the road, it would have saved them probably 4-5 days. Roberto went on to become a famous surgeon who has saved many more lives, of children! He is wonderfully sweet and way more personable than Nando. So those are my reason's, what are yours?
@J Moore He was just a kid back then and yes i have heard he was a little arrogant, i seen quite a few interviews when he was really young and he seemed very nice funny and outgoing. Where as Nando seemed a bit brooding and unsmiling but nice. They all went thru hell, and i am sure at times he was not in a good mood, none of them were. If he was a bit of a bully back then, he sure isn't now, he still saved all there lives.
@J Moore That was a long time ago and he had no political background either, that was the reason for the loss. Most reelected the former president.
@J Moore Honestly Yes, he did, but do you know why? Because others were taking advantage of sicker ones, not pulling there weight at all, he bullied the bully's. He was 19 years old, a kid, Nando was 24 years old. Roberto still a teenager. Had he not been tough like he was with the brains he had, Nando would not have made it alone. He is a way different person now. I am sure the whole experience changed him immensely. Why would you even compare his 19 year old self to who he is now? He saves babies now, he married his childhood sweetheart and is still married to her, all these years. Whatever, you want to conclude, he was a kid, and he had to be tough on some of the others, he wasn't the only one who was...and he was changed forever after that..your like the first person i have ever come across that feels compelled to bash him when you don't even know him.
I have read the book several times. He is wise and good to listen to.
"Never ever ever give up"...
Rescue people did. :(.
@@chloerodgers692
Even rescuers have a time they must quit
God bless you Cannesa and the other survivors...
God Bless this man and all who survived.
Jesus... incredible. ❤️
Amazing people and a situation that made them choose the most difficult course. I can only imagine but the choices made, were without doubt the right ones. If they weren't, we would never know what really happened and we would never understand. Key life lessons and we must continue to learn in the most severe of circumstances/situations - you have all taught us something. God bless and never ever doubt your decisions, no matter what they are. You are true legends.
I remember this happening! Man the will to live.and get help after All what Happened! What Brave men!!
So much respect for all of you ❤ xxxxx 🌹😘
The survivor doctor is such a gentleman. Such a huge story behind him.
I wish and hope to one day meeting him as well Mr. Parrado in my life 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽god bless them so much!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Its amazing they survive and they are young without life experience. God bless them all.
When he talked about almost dying after the avalanche and the envy of someone who has died…wow! That was deep.
"When someone died, you were not sorry for him. You were sorry for yourself". Terrifying words....
I like how he says that he keeps positivity and wash away negative thought, that's a very Uruguayan thing to do. The Uruguayan people is cheerful and loves joking, that's what kept them going too in my opinion ☺️
My mum made me watch this when I was very young
And I was so confused by it
But at the same time shocked
Friendship and teamwork were also factors why they survived.
Excellent interview. I read “Alive” many years ago. Just watched Society of the Snow”.
They were so brave and amazing how they were found after Roberto and Nando walk miles to find help. What a terrible ordeal they went through. 😥. I did real the book "Alive" many years ago...
The survivors say that the book 'Alive' tells the facts accurately (although they don't agree with the way Pancho Delgado is depicted in), and that the book 'The Snow Society', written more than 30 years later, describes their feelings during and after their stay in the Andes. In my opinion, both books complement each other.
Man can you imagine this...WOW
True heroes!! Did what needed to be done to survive. God continue to bless him n his love one ❤️ 🌹
There is life, there is always hope.....❤❤❤
I love them all ❤️but Roberto is my fav. All of them heroes!!!
This is so sad
This movie needs to be redone today
I couldn’t imagine being in this situation. He is a true hero. I just watched the Netflix movie about this and I cried many times. I also admire the photographs they took not something I would have thought of, but you can feel many feelings from them.
i first saw the movie alive. and then bought the book by chance, Alive by Piers Paul Read.
great book!
read it multiple times now.
it's a very emotional and powerful story.
Incredible story and incredibly brave human beings. I read his book. Movie was ok but nothing compares to the book!
A book is always best , tells it like it is ,,,
Great book. The book Alive by Piers Paul Reed was THE best book about this subject. Amazing
Guys there is a movie of this called alive and it’s really good ; it explains all about what happened.
DONUTS- The book is really good too.
Teresa Gelato there is a book!?guess what I’ll be reading next!
@@pearlbooks The book is better, get Piers Paul Read "Alive" one, there is a few wrong things in the movie, the first person to bring up eating the dead to the whole group was Canessa, Not Nando, they movie made it look like a bad thing when Canessa wanted to wait to leave because of the winter, but had they left when Nando wanted to, they would have died for sure. Canessa was right! Canessa was also right about the road as well, Nando couldn't see very well without his glasses, had they gone down to that road, it would have saved them a lot of time and effort, but Nando fought Canessa on that one.
There is other things you will find they made different in the movie, but it was still a very great movie. For me, it is the greatest miracle of our time...incredible story of human survival.
Watch the documentary a miracle in the andes by nando parrado
Movies are exaggerated and twisted to provide a more interesting plot for viewers. Documentaries are the way to go when you want to learn about real life events.
This is great
This is a great story that helps to have a better life. Only we have the decisión of stop suffering and going on with hope. We can not to be stuck in a same place. We can get everything we want.
Thank for helping us to undertand the life in a a better way.
@J Moore Of course they do it. Have you ever read the book: I had to survive by Roberto Canessa? He has help so many people financially in a farm that he has to harbor homeless and give them work. The book is writen in an english version.
@J Moore Well, so you know it.
@J Moore Well, they deserve it because they work hard.
@J Moore Of course they learned a lot, that´s my opinion i even had the please to chat with one of them, Roy Harley and it was a great conversation about their experience.that
they recognized that the help of Sergio Catalán was
determinant
but they would never have obtained it if they had not left the mountains on their own,
without teamwork, but anyway, I respect your opinion, I have mine. The history of the Andes has inspired me a lot.
History..Incroyable..since my 11 years
I follow the miracle for all thèses mens..All you,you are my Héros
All of you are the best courageous for me..
Your story is my inspiration..
And i know, i Will never know what was your life at this time..
No book..i never live what you live!!
My english is bad
Hope you received my love for all !
Prayers 🙏 God’s grace and mercy
Salut in mind and heart
This was a great interview. He is talking about the original movie but this conversation pairs well with 2023 Society of The Snow. It will be a great reference for your next show
The strong tailwind became a strong headwind as the pilot descended about 30 miles too soon, how that happened I don't know. Once the plane was in between the mountain it hit a rotor zone and there was no chance to recover at that point.
One of the most important lessons in survival.
Man that was heavy, what a story.
It's amazing that these guys went on with their lifes after everything they went through. Feeling and Seeing so much suffering and even eating their friends. It shows how strong the human being can be. And I think that's why we are still here.
Psychological specialist were certain that the survivors would need lifelong counselling but that hasn’t been the case. They have all gotten by helping each other when necessary. They all get together as much as possible on the anniversary of their rescue.
@@mako88sbreally? I thought they never reconnected until now like 50 years later. Well I know that Nando and roberto are good friends since then so they have a close relation but I didn’t know that they were close with the others.
I’ve never heard anyone refer to the experience as a level of Dante’s inferno before this. Really puts it into perspective and terms you can comprehend
Good video. Great story. Love from Pakistan where we really appreciate food like no one else.
Dr.Roberto should watch the new version of that story; "Society of the snow". Cuz it feels more realistic and it plays with emotions so smooth.
He has a cameo in the movie
@@DrJoyeetaDas98 yeah i found it out later. tnx👍🏻
AMAZING!!!!!
He was so handsome. Still is.
Great people
One of the most amazing stories in the annals of history.
Best story of survival❤️
S trong Message of Hope..
Amazing
I watched "Alive" a long time ago. Prior to that a motivational speaker at school who had watched the movie told us about it without missing any details of a single scene. It was the pre-internet and cellphone era.
The survivors don't like the film 'Alive' because it's a fictionalised and very superficial depiction that fails to convey their feelings and what they really went through.
What a story, read the book Alive in the 1980’s still amazes me how they did it
Real Heroes 💪👍!!
100% HERO
💪😤
Netflix brought me here. Inspirational
