Andes plane crash survivors open exhibit about ordeal

In 1972, a plane carrying an Uruguayan rugby team to an away match in Chile crashed in the Andes. 16 of the young men on board managed to survive in the mountains for 72 days, at sub zero temperatures and with very little food, before two of them walked miles to get help. The case gained international notoriety when the survivors admitted they had eaten their friends' bodies to stay alive - but now, 40 years on, they hope to tell their side of the story with a new exhibition in Montevideo.

I would so love to see an exhibition like this. I would so love to meet Roberto or Nando or any of them. I too have been fascinated with this story for years. So many lessons to be leaned from these heros.

Please more of this.... Not to be a dick but this was a tease. Sorry but i am very into this story and everything about it. Im shocked there are not more documentaries or programs about this ordeal it is outright fascinating to me. Thanks for the post though always appreciate more material and this particular subject.
