Society of the Snow is truly beautifully done. You can clearly see the respect and care that went into the project. It does a much better job of doing justice to the experiences of the survivors than Alive.
@@elphiegleason3899 personally, it's great that they didn't make the cannibalism aspect the biggest part of the story. That's what a lot of people tend to focus on when doing videos on it. To them it's just a shock factor.
It has been 50 years and you people are still calling those men cannibals. They are not cannibals. Cannibals are people who have the desire to consume their own kind. These men did what they had to do to survive. Stop calling them cannibals
Agreed. They didn't go hunting for people to eat, that's cannibalism. And every medical specialist who has weighed in has said that it was the available protein, fats, vitamins, minerals, and carbohydrates that kept the last 16 survivors alive.
This story is incredible for a number of reasons--eating the dead is the least of it. How did 2 men, having been nearly starved for 2 months, without climbing equipment and protective gear, climb and walk through the Andes for 10 days? It's defies explanation. That will to survive, to not give up, to keep going is what life is all about, no matter what your circumstances.
They didnt starve for 2 months. The two men that went for the ''final walk'' where specifically chosen by their teammates in advance and received special treatment during the whole accident. They could get the best places in the airplane when they were going to sleep, received the warmest clothes, and could eat all they wanted while the rest were given small portions to ration the food. It was a team effort all along.
@@greneellen8 I don't know. Canessa buried the meat they had left when they where found, and in the interview right after the rescue they both look thin but not on the brink of starvation. Doesn't matter, I take the some from the story as you do. No one is coming to save us, so we better save ourselves. I do find the story fascinating and I always look for the ''alternative'' narratives. Pedro Algorta is one of the survivors who speaks more crudely about it, Daniel Fernandez and Eduardo Strauch too. And the most fascinating character to me is Bobby Francois, the only survivor that didn't give his permission to be portrayed in Society o the Snow. All survivors describe him as ''the one who didn't do anything to live and survived anyway''.
@@user-bc3js3sd6v I've never heard Algorta speak about the experience. The topic is dominated by Canessa and Parrado. Did Algorta write anything? Or was he just interviewed?
The survivors don't like the film 'Alive'. They say it is a trip to Disneyland compared to what they really suffered in the Andes. In fact, what took those young men out of the mountains was teamwork at its best, and the film doesn't portray that; on the contrary, there are a lot of major omissions and scenes that never happened in real life just to focus on Ethan Hawke's character.
@@aldeberan1081three of them have cameos in Society of the Snow, too. Carlitos Paez plays his father Carlos, Nando Parrado plays a family member of one of the survivors and Roberto Canessa plays one of the doctors at the hospital after the rescue. It’s a very thoughtfully presented story IMO.
@@Danny-pi1xh Is not like they hated the film Alive, Parrado actually supervised it and was there with the actors while shooting the scenes. It was a 'romanticized'' version of what happened. I prefer Society of the Snow, but I gotta say the movie leaves aside the optimism, the joking around, and even the dark humour that went on during the accident. Both movies fail to portray Bobby Francois, one of the most interesting characters in the story, described by all of his teammates as ''someone who didn't do anything to live and survived anyway''.
No one should have judged them for how they were able to survive. No one else had ever been placed in that situation. To survive the way they did was not a light decision, and many chose not to follow the decision. Those that did, did not choose that path lightly. The entire ordeal was a horrifying turn of events leading to the decision that was made. None of us who were not there could predict what we would have done in the same situation. May GOD bless all of the survivors and those who did not survive as well.
I think that flying over the Andes on that jalopy is insane and suicidal. Deciding to do it during bad weather is criminal...and I am glad the two pilots DIED.
@@Helga7850 that was never their decision to make, flights always have a planned route and they indeed chose the better passage through an opening in the mountain range rather that go all the way above the Andes. it's the only way to get through from Montevideo to Santiago
@@Helga7850 100% yes it should have been cancelled, but that wasn't the pilots' decision to make, so no need to hate on the pilots. in any case the ATC should've guided them
I read the book "Alive" when I was 13 and I've never forgotten their story. The cannibalism was only a side bar - what else were they supposed to do? Their story had such an impact on me because never stopped trying...when one idea failed, they tried something else and they kept trying something else until they walked up on a shepherd in Chile. I'm so glad they went on to happy marriages, lots of children and good lives.
Survival is like our second instinct as humans. We may have it all on a silver platter now with the internet, streaming services, food delivery service from your favorite restaurant, cuddling up on a comfy couch with a comfy blanket watching TV, a fridge full of food and a faucet with running clean water, we have it all. But when it comes to a perilous situation like this, the survival instinct switches on like a light switch it's pretty much in our DNA, we wouldn't have come this far as humans if it weren't for our great great ancestors. But the point of this comment is that I'm pretty sure we're all capable of cannibalism when it comes to survival on a perilous scale.
They ARE NOT CANNIBALS. Cannibalism is a choice to kill and eat humans. These poor guys had no choice if they wanted to live. They speak about how difficult it was to start consuming their friends. Anybody would do the same thing in their position. I know I would if I wanted to live and see my family again.
I don't mean to be a smartbutt, but why on Earth is there a clip from Dead Poets Society at 0:18? How is it related to anything here? Why would they not use a clip from Alive, which they are talking about? And if it was not possible, why not at least take a clip from DPS that would feature Ethan Hawke, who actually starred both movies? Could they not tell him and Robert Sean Leonard apart? (The story itself is a rough and miraculous one of course, better depicted in Society Of the Snow than Alive, though.)
Lol I was about to say that as well, I'm definitely diggin the narrators voice. I'm going most definitely support this channel for sure, I came across this channel by accident but I'm sure glad I had.
I've read and watched a lot about this. And I was about halfway through the society of snow before I realized it was portraying this story. And every time I watch or read anything about this I can never decide if I would rather know that they had canceled the search or not. It's obviously extremely useful info but in such an extremely dire and disastrous situation it could potentially cause you to give up hope. Which is all they had at some points. 😢
As soon as they heard the news, one of them told 18 yo Carlos Paez, who was inside the plane, that he had good news. - "Which good news?" - "The search's been cancelled". - "How are those good news, you son of a ...??" - "Cause it means now we have to get out of here on our own" That day their attitude changed; they stopped waiting to be rescued and started fighting to try and get out. They would have died if they had kept on "waiting". Carlos Paez recounted this in many interviews.
Exactly. Described as walking skeletons with skin on, the 16 survivors were extremely malnourished, some of them had septic wounds, bleeding lips, others dysentery, one with a broken leg that had made him crawl on the snow for 72 days, one needed to stay 15 days in the intensive care unit... They weighed an average of 40 kg (88 pounds), that's why the Chilean rescuers say the survivors could be lifted with one hand. 3:58 That's Roberto Canessa (not Nando Parrado) on the day of the rescue, wearing several layers of clothes. 11:22 Healthy Roberto Canessa.

Anthropophagey is a more accurate and less loaded term
Well said!

Society of Snow does a really good job in depicting the grim picture of this whole ordeal

what is the first?
Of course, these are extreme condition, in Italy we say “extreme times call for extreme measures”
I'm from Uruguay and this is at this day still talk about
His answer to that question should've been "lets see we will put you up there with no food for what 2 to 3 months and you tell me"

Jabbar was the pilot? I thought he was in a Turkish prison? Seriously, nothing appalling. They did what had to be done. God bless them all.
youre voice is so unbelievable beautiful
They only ate The people who already died

11:30 he meant, like sex, eating human flesh is built up as something huge but when you do it its just not that big of a deal
Thats roberto canessa in the white hat not Nando.
“If they go their likely to die “ and if they stay their likely to die 🤣
I have to ask, why the clips from Dead Poets Society and Sherlock Holmes? I found that real weird! 😆
Yes also saw a clip from Airplane
I turned it off when you refered to them as the "Rocky Mountains" at 2:29
I like your channel bro, keep going
Same his voice is really nice and soothing, perfect for these stories- he’s not slow either and goes at a good pace ✌🏼
@@jackiewacky2086 fr, it’s perfect for these stories as you said😂😂
4:44 Ray Romano in this film ?
Im gonna look at this guy in 5 years and see how many subs he has🌟
The narrator’s voice though 😭
Lol...quick scene from airplane
If everybody’s wondering what they ate, they ate human a.k.a. pork if they died on the mountains
They keep showing pictures of Canessa calling him Parrado.
That is not Nando. That is also Roberto on the pictures… just so you know
They did not look healthy
They looked health for someone who survived a 72 DAY crash with little to no supplies.
Exactly. Described as walking skeletons with skin on, the 16 survivors were extremely malnourished, some of them had septic wounds, bleeding lips, others dysentery, one with a broken leg that had made him crawl on the snow for 72 days, one needed to stay 15 days in the intensive care unit...

3:58 That's Roberto Canessa (not Nando Parrado) on the day of the rescue, wearing several layers of clothes.
11:22 Healthy Roberto Canessa.
lol what a joke of an edit this is.
ANTROPOFAGY IS NO THE SAME THAN CANIBALISM YOU *&^*&^%
Blurring blood😐
If I'm gonna be told their story then I'd better see their story.
If only the rescue was as quick as this clip
Without Cooking how they ate
Meat can be eaten raw. Haven't you heard of the Carnivore Diet?
Raw obviously
it's more nutrtious, raw
They dried the matchstik sized meat with the sun
They sun dried it
Did Markiplier narrate this video???
This video is insensitive to the subject matter. And poor choice of clips. Also showing a phito of Canessa when talking about Nando??? FAIL.
I heard a bunch of them were charged for cannibalizing there fellow teammates
Complete bullshit. They were welcome back as heroes. All of them.
No.
That’s just wrong
I was on that trip✈️ 🤕 and i had to eat something? 😋 🦵
