Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 Crash (13 October - 23 December 1972)

The Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 was the chartered flight of a Fairchild FH-227D from Montevideo, Uruguay to Santiago, Chile, that crashed in the Andes mountains on October 13, 1972. The accident and subsequent survival became known as the Andes flight disaster (Tragedia de los Andes) and the Miracle of the Andes (Milagro de los Andes).
The plane carried 45 passengers and crew including 16 members of the Old Christians Club Rugby Union team along with family members and friends. 1 of them cancelled at the last minute, Graziela Mariani bought the seat so she could attend her oldest daughter’s wedding.
As the aircraft descended, severe turbulence tossed the aircraft up and down. Nando Parrado recalled hitting a downdraft, causing the plane to drop several hundred feet and out of the clouds. The rugby players joked about the turbulence at first, until some passengers saw that the aircraft was very close to the mountain. "That was probably the moment when the pilots saw the black ridge rising dead ahead.
Roberto Canessa later said that he thought the pilot turned north too soon, and began the descent to Santiago while the aircraft was still high in the Andes. Then, "he began to climb, until the plane was nearly vertical and it began to stall and shake. The aircraft ground collision alarm sounded, alarming all of the passengers.
The pilot applied maximum power in an attempt to gain altitude. Witness accounts and evidence at the scene indicated the plane struck the mountain either two or three times. The pilot was able to bring the aircraft nose over the ridge, but at 3:34 p.m., the lower part of the tail-cone may have clipped the ridge at 4,200 metres (13,800 ft). The next collision severed the right wing. Some evidence indicates it was thrown back with such force that it tore off the vertical stabilizer and the tail-cone. When the tail-cone was detached, it took with it the rear portion of the fuselage, including two rows of seats in the rear section of the passenger cabin, the galley, baggage hold, vertical stabilizer, and horizontal stabilizers, leaving a gaping hole in the rear of the fuselage. Three passengers, the navigator, and the steward were lost with the tail section.
The aircraft continued forward and upward another 200 meters (660 ft) for a few more seconds when the left wing struck an outcropping at 4,400 meters (14,400 ft), tearing off the wing. One of the propellers sliced through the fuselage as the wing it was attached to was severed. Two more passengers fell out of the open rear of the fuselage. The front portion of the fuselage flew straight through the air before sliding down the steep glacier at 350 km/h (220 mph) like a high-speed toboggan and descended about 725 metres (2,379 ft). When the fuselage collided with a snow bank, the seats were torn from their base and thrown against the forward bulkhead and each other. The impact crushed the cockpit with the two pilots inside, killing Ferradas immediately.
The official investigation concluded that the crash was caused by controlled flight into terrain due to pilot error.
The plane fuselage came to rest on a glacier at 34°45′54″S 70°17′11″W at an elevation of 3,570 metres (11,710 ft) in the Malargüe Department, Mendoza Province. The unnamed glacier (later named Glaciar de las Lágrimas or Glacier of Tears) is between Mount Sosneado and 4,280 metres (14,040 ft) high Volcán Tinguiririca, straddling the remote mountainous border between Chile and Argentina. It is south of the 4,650 metres (15,260 ft) high Mount Seler, the mountain they later climbed and which Nando Parrado named after his father. The aircraft was 80 km (50 mi) east of its planned route.

Poor choice of music.

no poor choice of music

[@VerisimilitudeFilms1]

​@johnmurphy9138 the music sounds like a fun and upbeat Weezer song. Not something to accompany such a tragic and heartbreaking story.

I think you should listen to the song, it’s not a upbeat song.
