And 2 men in 22 days found help yet for 70 days nobody could find them. How horrific and sad for what these men endured. God rest their souls and bring peace to the survivors
Well they were at the top of the Andes mountain in winter in a tiny white plane. They did arial searches but it was like finding a needle in a hay stack. There's a Netflix movie about it called Society of the Snow (or something like that). What is most wild is that they waited over a month and succumbed to cannabalism (no judgement) before finally even attempting to go down the mountain, even though they knew the search had been called off after 10 days (they managed to get a small radio working which is how they knew). They also had cigerettes and lighters, so they continued to smoke (also no judgement), but never once tried to make a fire, so a number of them froze to death. It's an interesting story about survival but also a truely baffling one.
@@sjb4280What were they going to burn? There's no trees that high. The seats? How long was that going to last? How were they going to remove any seats from the plane?
Those 2 men sved their own lives after being presumed dead! And it was a very dangerous place to fly! They obviously thought the snow had covered the crash site . What would you do? This is probably the first time you've heard of this story
Same thing happened in the 1850s when a wagon train got stuck during a snowstorm in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. About 40 people froze to death and others in the Donner party ate them
They did what they had to do to stay alive , the movie , there a 2, both different but well done. Have seen both what a human being will do to survive the bravery these very young men had was phenomenal, inspiring in that you do what you have to do in times of crisis.
How do we know that those 32 other crashes didnt also have victims fighting for their lives as well… maybe if rescue looked longer than 10 days they may have found survivors. These couldn’t have been the only survivors out of the 32 crashes …?
@@AnnymaeExactly what I was thinking. Imagine other people going through the same thing they did but didn’t make it down the mountain, horrible. Sad to think about
Yeah....that was really stupid thinking. EMPHASIS: STOPPING THE SEARCH WAS REALLY STUPID THINKING. NOT THE FLIGHT ITSELF. READ THE SENTENCE PLEASE!!:And how the hell did they fly through here KNOWING THAT 32 AIRPLANES HAD PREVIOUSLY CRASHED THERE??!
@@dxrk.73 yeah i doubt it. I'm sure it's possible for people to develop a taste for it. But not like this. This was the worst time of their life, and they were repulsed by eating human flesh and could barely do it to survive.
This is one of the greatest stories of survival known to us. The two men who walked out of there to find help were absolute heroes. The rest of the passengers were then rescued a few at a time by incoming planes, one at a time because of the very arduous mountain terrain. Persona qua non.
@@Banana-Gang John 15:13 Jesus spoke those words. He actually died for humanity so we may have everlasting life through his death and resurrection. I encourage you all to read it. 🫶🏼
God I was so sad when Numa died. Thought he would've survived seeing that he narrated the whole movie but I think he was the main protagonist because he did everything to help everyone and he was the last one to die before the rest of them were rescued. He seemed like a noble man and a great friend 😢❤
This story has consumed me for 40 yrs. I’m n awe of these boys that survived 2.5 months in the frozen mountains with nothing and the choices they had to make yo come back alive to their families. God bless Parrafo and Canessa for walking out of the Andies to get help. Heroes!
I saw the two men that made the extremely rugged descent interviewed. The only thing that helped the one was recalling that in Catholicism, they believe that when the priest prays over Communion, that the wine and bread become the Body and Blood of Christ. Somehow, this thought carried him through and kept him from trauma over having partaken of a dead passenger to be able to be strong enough to survive that treacherous trek for help. They had a rough go if it. Thankfully, they made it, and the others were found because of it. It IS a story about survival.
@@jackiemack8653 I know that story. Once rode a train through Donner Pass in a blizzard from Oakland to Reno. That story, however, doesn't lessen the experiences of the Andes Survivors in any way.
Nope Not one of the greatest Not great at all infact Search for survival stories from middle Asia and south east Asia, you Caucasians will be in awe of the courage possessed by those races
@papasierracharlie1208 No one said anything about race. They mentioned unimaginable stories of survival, courage, tragedy. No doubt there have been survival stories just as profound in those regions of the world. They're all stories of human spirit and human failings. Not one has anything whatsoever to do with race.
Unfortunately, for many years this event was mostly known in the world because of the film 'Alive', a distorted version of the facts. And even worse, a lot of the videos in English (not this one) on this incident are based on that movie. The survivors dislike it because it's superficial and unrealistic, they've never seen themselves reflected in the characters. While in 'Alive', Ethan Hawke's character is the 'superhero' and the other surviving passengers are practically passive spectators; in reality, all of them had a crucial role in their struggle for survival.The main leaders and strategists were the Strauch cousins, but as the survivors say, each one of them was a leader depending on the moment and the skills needed during the 72 days they were trapped in the Andes.
Society of the Snow, a film with Uruguayan and Argentinian actors. The true story based on the book of the same name by Pablo Vierci and extensive interviews with the survivors and the victims' families. The critics and the audience call it a masterpiece. The survivors say it's so realistic that it made them feel again what they felt in 1972. The deceased's relatives say they felt they were seeing their loved ones again, and that it helped ease the sorrow they'd felt for more than 50 years.
I read this novel Survived while in High School and their story still lives in my heart. They saved each other and the conditions were unbearable. May God Bless All of The Passengers.
It is quite annoying for those of us who are Uruguayans and from this part of the world, that of everything that can be learned from this story of struggle and resilience, the only thing they talk about and repeat is that they ate human flesh. It is very sad, it is sad because they did not do it for pleasure, they did it because they wanted to live, they did it so they could tell their families that they were alive and that they had not lost them all, because they wanted to see their brothers, sisters, children, fathers, mothers, entire families. Because their families believed that they had lost them and they had to live with that pain without knowing if they lived or not. And also tell those relatives of those who died, of those who could not return, that they fought as a team and did everything possible so that everyone who was there returned alive, although some could not. The morbidity is sad and that they only see the story for that reason without knowing what it meant for them and for us Uruguayans, what they did as a team and for their friends. They are free of all guilt, their fight was for love, love that was always for others.
I remember when this happened. Yes, the media focused on that but please trust me that everyone I knew had nothing but praise for the bravery of these dear souls. We heard it sensationalized but only in the media. Like all prejudices, Americans are judged by the bad behavior of a few. Most of us are empathetic.
Totally agree. It’s what you see on the media and sadly still seeing. Anyone I talk to about is on the side of those very brave young people, lives worth saving, and they were in an impossible situation, and had to do what they had to do. One who has not been stranded anywhere with no hope of ever been found, nor have been starving !so people should not judge,,if that was one of my children I would just be glad they were alive. They made the effort to try to get back to their families.
I think it’s so wrong of the people who judged these people for just merely surviving. After watching Society of the Snow you get a deeper understanding of what these people went through. You just don’t know what your do unless you experience what these crash victims did 70days is a long time to live in those conditions.
I knew an old man who was captured by the Japanese in WW2, he spoke about death marches and stated that 'an empty belly has no conscience ' . How true, none of us know what we'd do in those circumstances .
WHAT THEY DID IS AGAINST THE WRITINGS OF ADONAI THE FATHER. WE ARE TO HAVE FAITH IN GOD. WE DO NOT EAT ONE ANOTHER. THEY HAD NO FAITH IN GOD. EVEN WHEN GOD SAVED THEM FROM THE CRASH. READ GOD'S WORD AND REPENT OF YOUR SINS. MATTHEW 3;2
I don't know these men. I'm sure many have since passed. Can't say therefore whether any are Christian. What I do know is God forgives those who believe. The Bible is full of stories of God's mercy and forgiveness for His children. Perhaps some, maybe all, of the men are believers. I know this. If they are, or were, they most definitely asked His forgiveness. He forgave them and I know this because that's what He tells us too, and I believe Him. After an experience like that, can't imagine life without His grace.
I am from India and I'm 25 yrs old now. When I was a school kid in 8th grade, for the first time, I read this book in Marathi language. It was 13yrs ago. It was called as " Te Sattar Divas" meaning "Those 70 days". And suddenly today, after all these years, this reel story popped up and I watched it. It was nostalgic. ❤❤❤
I watched this movie today. An incredible story and a true masterpiece. RIP to those who didn’t survive, but whose passing enabled their friends to live on.
Personally, I don't blame them one -bite- bit. They did what they had to do, in order to survive. What they went through; mentally and physically, was unbelievably tough. Narrator said lightly: "they then decided to eat the frozen flesh of the deceased ". But the decision/vote was definitely not done lightly or easily, as depicted in the movie "Alive".
The film 'Alive' is not true to the real story, and especially that scene is not portrayed realistically. The survivors say that movie is a very superficial and historically inaccurate depiction of their ordeal.
What ISN'T mentioned, is that there was very little shaming of those who survived, and the families of the victims were HAPPY and PROUD that their loved ones' deaths were able to help others survive.
I was around when that happened. Amazing how they survived. A couple of movies have been made of this, but the original book was outstsnding. For many years some of the survivors could not come to talk about their experience.. who knows what we would do in the same situation..
I read the book Alive back in 1977, it was in my school library. I still remember the vivid images the book described. I have seen a couple of movies made about it....The book, however was excellently written. This is a story that I will never forget.

@@mayrabuxareo3912 Era impossível ver o avião, a busca nas condições em que as montanhas dos Andes estava na época de muita neve. Lembre-se era 1972 , as condições de equipamentos não são as de hoje, eles já não tinham esperanças de achar ninguém vivo, as condições da cordilheira dos Andes eram absolutamente impróprias para sobrevivência. Eles retornaram as buscas um mês depois de serem encerradas e novamente não encontraram, pois a localização era completamente diferente da rota que o avião deveria fazer.
@@flaviamenezes7301 Entiendo que es muy difícil, pero ellos estuvieron 72 días ahí, la búsqueda termino en el 8vo día, podrían haber vuelto a probar. No puede ser que dos personas, muertas de hambre, sin preparación, sin ropa adecuada hayan atravesado todos los andes en 10 días hasta encontrar gente y avisar que los venga a rescatar, y que unos aviones o helicópteros no se esfuercen más tiempo en buscar. Si ellos pudieron hacer todo eso no me vas a decir que no había manera de encontrarlos poniendo más presupuesto en la búsqueda.
That was miracle in itself that they’ve survived against all the odds. I’m glad they’ve never crossed the path with wolves. That’s a nightmare for me. My hats off to those amazing survivors ! ❤
' Alive ' ...these brave men were celebrated when they got back home - and their community did not judge them their means of survival .. These heroes suffered much pain and sadness ... Truly an unbelievable story - I was a senior in HS when this happened .
I was in High School also. I remember this being on the three main News Channels here in The U.S. People in the Comments here seem to forget that Communications, as well as Air Support are different now, and not only that, but the snow was so bad that the Helicopters could not just zig zag around the Mountain looking in the snow, for a white plane, indefinitely. The local rescue organizers and the Country Officials called off the rescue, and people in this thread are blaming America for giving up because "it was too expensive, and America didn't want to spend the money". I don't get it, that even though we help in any catastrophe we arallowed to, we are always blamed for either being too late, or for leaving... when it is the 'Host Country' that calls the shots.
IT IS ABOUT FAITH IN THE LORD GOD ALMIGHT...NO CANNIBALISM...IF IT IS YOUR TIME THEN IT IS.. ..GOD IS SUPERIOR TO EATING EACH OTHER...SORRRY...NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!
@@mickeyminnie1792 In the words of the Pope, God send them to live, not to die, so they have the full support of the church, it means way more than you and your stupid opinion
@@mickeyminnie1792but if they didn't eat they would die, and letting oneself die is suicide, and suicide is condemned by God, so you said they should not eat and go against God by commiting suicide letting themselves starve?
@@mickeyminnie1792it’s like the story of a person in a flood sitting on their roof when a guy comes by on a canoe and the person on the roof says no thanks I am waiting on the lord to save me. And a few other things happen and he keeps telling them he is waiting on the Lord to save him and he finally dies and he ask God why didn’t you save me and God says I sent you this and that what more do you want. You do what you gotta do to survive. They didn’t kill anyone.
This story stuck with me from the moment I first read it in my early teens, I’m now 37. I couldn’t help putting myself in their position as I read the story & I just felt absolutely crushed for them. They tried eating the stuffing out of the seats to begin with.. which ironically wasn’t mentioned in this short, likely for sensationalism & shock value. If memory serves me correct, some even refused to eat their friends & starved to death. This was the hardest decision for them, either watch one another perish like they’d watched others, or resort to eating their dear friends, & all agreed they’d hope their friends would do the same if the tables were turned for survival. They also had one failed attempt at escaping for help. They did what they had to do for survival, to see their loved ones again. Heartbreaking all round x
Of course there are rules. In this instance they helped and supported each other and the people who died were passed caring but to say anything goes in an emergency? On a sinking ship would it be ok for a strong person to steel a weaker persons lifejacket because they didn't have one? In a similar situation if no one died in the crash would it be ok to kill the weak too eat ?
@angelaclements1244 You are taking it out of context. There's food available, but it comes with a taboo. So should they starve? Nobody was forced to eat. Your choice eat what's available or starve to death. They should not have been condemned for choosing to live. Anything else is just silly
The book was called Alive. I read the book long before the movie came out..I was in high school when I read the book. It made a huge impact on me on so many levels. The book was much more in the 'feels' department and the team working together than the movie, and that is what the whole thing was hinged on.
No one really can ever say what they would not do to survive such a tragic situation unless faced with the same circumstances, God forbid. Bless the survivors and families of all involved.
The way I cried my eyeballs out when they saw that man by the river!!!!!!!!!! I cried at no other point in the movie and then when they saw the man by the river I cried until it went off 😭😭💕💕😭😭💕💕👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏼🙏🏼 This is a remarkable story to say the least!!!!!!! You never know what you're made of until you're put in unique situations!!!! I can't believe they gave up on them after 10 days!!!!💔💔😭😭💔💔😭😭
@@rayblox4859 from what I've heard, the survivors were pleased with the movie. I haven't seen it but it sounds like it is a compassionate and respectful treatment of the heartbreaking event. I cannot even begin to imagine what it would be like to have the courage, fortitude, physical and mental stamina to face a challenge of this magnitude.
Shame on those people who judges them for surviving that way, what if tables have turned I know they would also make the same decision if they want to survive.
Do u see ghosts? I don't see a single comment who said they should have ordered Uber eat instead of eating other human. All I see people r supporting their decision.
I have watched several movies and documentaries about this occurrence and I think many of them do a good job minimizing the eating of flesh and making it clear that none of them really wanted to do it, but they had that innate desire to live. And there were some very, horrifically miserable times these men went through - the freezing, the injuries and pain, the absolute despair - the amount of strength these men had is awe inspiring
May all of the deceased souls Rest in Peace and may God comfort the hearts of the survivors and continue to bless them. Thank you for sharing this story.
They did what they had to do. The spirit becomes mighty and will do anything to keep one from dying. We’re just passengers on a super hero’s journey at that point… along for the ride. I think they are remarkable
People donate their bodies for medical research. Donating your body for literally saving someone's life is the greatest thing one can do with their body.
A book was written named “ALIVE”. It’s a fantastic read. It tells the whole story of the crash, the dead & dying, the choice to ingest the dead for survival (let it be totally understood there was no killing. They died of exposure & trauma) How they survived and the grit it took to not give up! (They were very religious and was taught it a sin to ingest human flesh. One man told the priest & they were absolved of any sin because it was done to survive) I read the book twice. It was bought in the 1970’s. The photos are included.
U can’t judge someone unless u walk a mile in their shoes … when u do that Ul know why they did what they did and not judge anymore 🙂🙂.. life sometimes forces out hand and presents very difficult choices .. 😢😢😢
Many heroes in this story, especially the two who walked to find help! Don't be so quick to judge others, you may have to do something you never dreamed!
I watched the movie. All survivors when the plane crashed in the middle of the snowy mountain were heroes. The rescue was abandoned after 10 days, it was a wrong judgement. I didn’t realized I was motionless while watching, I felt the survivors losing hope but some made it.
I’m sure the families of the deceased who couldn’t get their relatives’ bodies back would have been extremely traumatised. But at the end they only did what they had to out of desperation. Oh the guilt and trauma! But 1 alive and 1 missing body is better than 2 dead bodies.
Actually, they did eat almost the entire bodies, including the bones to get calcium. When the rescue team arrived at the crash site, the survivors showed them little piles of bones and the dead's faces that looked like masks. But 13 bodies were found intact.
The real question is… Did it taste like chicken? (This is just a joke. Please don’t come for me. I make jokes when I feel uncomfortable and boy, do I feel uncomfortable reading and hearing this incredible story of survival!!)
This was the best survival case I have ever come across . It’s astonishing the efforts of those brave people their eagerness to survive . Surviving the odd life threatening challenges..is an incredible and extraordinary story ❤❤❤
The survivors call it 'the Disney version' because it's a very superficial adaptation of the true story, in which the facts and characters were changed arbitrarily in order to make Ethan Hawke's character stand out among the others.
@@Adifgreat yeah it was stupid plus the American accent just took away even more authenticity apparently there's a much better version or series of the event on Netflix
@@Adifgreat yes I'll definitely keep an eye out for it there's also an interview from an Australian news program here 7 something but it around on CZcams also interviewing the survivors one of them looks so much like Antonio Banderas
I watched the movie society of the snow yesterday and I'm here on CZcams at of curiosity to know how true the story is. We never really know what we are capable of doing until we are faced with some certain situations, This is a story of survival, resilience and endurance.. Shame to those who only searched and gave up after 10days. 20th March 2024
Des miraculés de ce crash en pleine montagne, ces survivants, on ne peut même pas imaginer ce qu'ils ont pu endurer... la peur, le froid, instinct de survie en se nourrissant de chaire humaine, moments de solitude, situation cauchemardesque qui a dû laisser des séquelles psychologiques... bravo aux rescapés 🙏
A true story of Courage and Never giving up😢 they get judge because they needed something to survive.. what would you do after some months . Amazing how a soul will give you their bodies in a situation you never thought you would be. All because they know is what you need 😢😢😢
I'd watched the movie Alive, but the documentary, with the events being retold by the survivors, is so much more brutal and heroic than the movie could ever portray. The 10 day trek that Nando and Roberto made, after what they'd already endured was truly miraculous.
It's a story that contains anthropophagia not cannibalism. Since it was considered an act of survival and not grotesque pleasure, the Catholic church told them they had no sins to confess. Also the choice to eat the dead did not come easily and it didn't come without consequences like constant bowel issues. The survivors also had to endure days of constipation and days of diarrhea.
I think we should stop doing that. Cannibalism is when one human being eats the body of another human being regardless of what the situation is. So to put into perspective what you said is, “It’s a story that contains ‘the eating of human flesh by human beings’ (anthropophagia) not ‘the eating of human flesh by humans’ (cannibalism)” 😒
Because this was a dangerous plane crash they thought they would have died. They were not able to find them because of snow and aeroplane was of same color. And after 10 days they thought that if someone would have survived that they may have died due to the temperature that was -30 degree celcius. 😅
@@Swasti-_-_Sharma the fuel for a 2-seat helicopter alone is like $300 per hour. That’s for ONE helicopter, and not including the pilot’s salary, maintenance, parts, etc. The cost for the total number of vehicles and people looking would likely be in the tens of thousands of dollars per day. Ergo, it is a severely time-limited activity for most countries’ search and rescue forces.
this tragic story is explained by Dhruv rathe he explained everything in detail and also it is surprising how brave this people are and how they never gave up
Could you imagine having to eat one of your friends? Think about how they felt when they had to do the unthinkable, just to stay alive. I couldn’t imagine! Then having to answer to it, after they were rescued. Knowing some people would not understand. Until you’ve been in the same situation, I don’t know how anyone could judge them.
The movie Alive about this crash and survival was excellent. The actors met with the survivors in order to bring their experience to life. I would never judge their decisions for survival. Some of the survivors who eventually passed even gave permission to use their bodies for substance. They are heroes for living through this horrible disaster.
My elementary school friend's uncle was in that crash and was one of the two that went for help. Also from what I was told they didn't just outright eat the dead like might be imagined. They rolled tiny bits of flesh in snow. There is no judgement from me. They did what they had to do to survive.
I remember this very well: the crash; the abandonment of the search; the astonished reaction when news came through that survivors had been found; the worldwide interest; the "questions" and ghoulish interest as to how they had survived; and the later books, documentaries and Hollywood film "Alive" (based on Piers Paul Reed's book of the same title). Extraordinary that you should have such a close knowledge of one of those two men who made that remarkable and desperate life or death walk for survival.
There's a movie about this. I watched it. Was very sad. I forgot what it was called. But there was a few women that survived the crash. But cause of the cold they end up dying. I remember the man said eat any flesh but not her. He buried his wife in the snow. This movie made me cry. All 16 or 15 men survived. 3 men went to get help. They took some flesh with them. Which they ate frozen. But that was there only survival. They tried to grab what food and supplies they could from the plane. The food ran out. They went 1 day without food. And they decided there only survival was the deceased flesh. I wouldn't want to be in that situation but I will do what I have to. 3 men went out to look for help. They carried what they could with them to survive. 1 man had to go back as they was running out of food. So 2 went on with the journey. I don't know how many days it took them. But someone saw them. I remember they offered them bread. They was so relieved to find help and get better food. Try searching for a movie about a plane crash in chili that happened in October 1972
I remember this! I was a young mother of a newly born baby girl at the time! I was so impressed that the instinct to survive is so strong. When one dies, the essence of that person (the soul) leaves the body. What’s left - unless cremated - sustains life in one form or another. These wonderful survivors lived on to have families, careers, friends. May God bless both the living and the dead! ❤
This is an unbelievable story of hope. The survivors were pulled from the brink of death and pushed the boundaries of human endurance. The cannibalism was such a small detail in this story ❤
They did what they needed to do to survive it wasn’t like they had a choice… they prayed and asked god to forgive them,they lived because GOD had a plan for them! This story is so heartbreaking and encouraging.
These people did what they had to do to survive the most horrific experience of their lives. How truly traumatized these poor men must’ve been that actually found the courage to keep going even tho the rest of the world had given up on them 😢
The name of the plane was Fair Child. A book and a novel came out about this incident. The name was 'ALIVE'. I have read the book. It is truly a gripping narrative.
I can't believe they abandoned the search after 10 days. 😢😢 Devestating for the survivors who were forced to make the ultimate decision. I pray they all came to peace with how they survived.
I've heard that it was way too dangerous because of the very bad weather. More people would've died and the victims wouldn't be found cause the pilot gave wrong indications. They all thought that victims were in Chile when actually the plane crashed in Argentina
at that time the weather in the Andes was very aggressive, they gave up the search because a freezing season was coming, in addition to the hostility of the climate they were looking for corpses from the beginning.
This is not a story of cannibalism, it’s a story of courage and never giving up
Exactly
Agree
That's how I feel y'all and my husband said I'm nasty and all that. But I feel like if it was y'all could they do everything to survive

They obviously thought the snow had covered the crash site . What would you do? This is probably the first time you've heard of this story
My husband and I lived in the Far East at that time. I remember how awful this story was. God bless the survivors and their families!
Same thing happened in the 1850s when a wagon train got stuck during a snowstorm in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. About 40 people froze to death and others in the Donner party ate them
They did what they had to do to stay alive , the movie , there a 2, both different but well done. Have seen both what a human being will do to survive the bravery these very young men had was phenomenal, inspiring in that you do what you have to do in times of crisis.

Thought he would've survived seeing that he narrated the whole movie but I think he was the main protagonist because he did everything to help everyone and he was the last one to die before the rest of them were rescued. He seemed like a noble man and a great friend 😢❤

This story has consumed me for 40 yrs. I’m n awe of these boys that survived 2.5 months in the frozen mountains with nothing and the choices they had to make yo come back alive to their families. God bless Parrafo and Canessa for walking out of the Andies to get help. Heroes!
😢 BUT AMAZING STORY OF SURVIVAL
BLESS THOSE ALL😊😮 HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE.
PRAY REST OF THIER
LIFE WAS GOOD.😊😊😊
for 40 years?
I saw the two men that made the extremely rugged descent interviewed. The only thing that helped the one was recalling that in Catholicism, they believe that when the priest prays over Communion, that the wine and bread become the Body and Blood of Christ. Somehow, this thought carried him through and kept him from trauma over having partaken of a dead passenger to be able to be strong enough to survive that treacherous trek for help.
They had a rough go if it. Thankfully, they made it, and the others were found because of it.
It IS a story about survival.
One of the greatest survival stories in recorded history.
Nope. Research the Donner party about a wagon train stuck during a snowstorm in California in the 1850s

I know that story.
Once rode a train through Donner Pass in a blizzard from Oakland to Reno.
That story, however, doesn't lessen the experiences of the Andes Survivors in any way.
@@JohnMoore-xf5wy I didn't say it did. I'm saying the Donner party was also one of the greatest tragedies. History tends to forget.

Search for survival stories from middle Asia and south east Asia, you Caucasians will be in awe of the courage possessed by those races
@papasierracharlie1208 No one said anything about race. They mentioned unimaginable stories of survival, courage, tragedy. No doubt there have been survival stories just as profound in those regions of the world. They're all stories of human spirit and human failings. Not one has anything whatsoever to do with race.
Unfortunately, for many years this event was mostly known in the world because of the film 'Alive', a distorted version of the facts. And even worse, a lot of the videos in English (not this one) on this incident are based on that movie. The survivors dislike it because it's superficial and unrealistic, they've never seen themselves reflected in the characters.
While in 'Alive', Ethan Hawke's character is the 'superhero' and the other surviving passengers are practically passive spectators; in reality, all of them had a crucial role in their struggle for survival.The main leaders and strategists were the Strauch cousins, but as the survivors say, each one of them was a leader depending on the moment and the skills needed during the 72 days they were trapped in the Andes.
The book from which the film was derived is excellent!
I heard somewhere that apparently there is a movie or series about this on Netflix so it might be worth keeping an eye out
@@davemustaki134yeah I just watched that movie and I think that it was way more accurate and touching than the movie Alive
Ethan Hawke got much advising on his role by Nando Parrodo in Alive as he was in Canada on set with them
Society of the Snow, a film with Uruguayan and Argentinian actors. The true story based on the book of the same name by Pablo Vierci and extensive interviews with the survivors and the victims' families.
The critics and the audience call it a masterpiece. The survivors say it's so realistic that it made them feel again what they felt in 1972. The deceased's relatives say they felt they were seeing their loved ones again, and that it helped ease the sorrow they'd felt for more than 50 years.
The need to survive, against all odds, far outweighs any mention of cannabilism. The survivors only choice was to "LIVE". They are absolute heroes 👏
I read this novel Survived while in High School and their story still lives in my heart. They saved each other and the conditions were unbearable.
May God Bless All of The Passengers.
Feel the same way. Truly haunting so many years later.
The book I read was titled “Alive”, but a movie about it was made some years after, titled “Survived”
It is quite annoying for those of us who are Uruguayans and from this part of the world, that of everything that can be learned from this story of struggle and resilience, the only thing they talk about and repeat is that they ate human flesh. It is very sad, it is sad because they did not do it for pleasure, they did it because they wanted to live, they did it so they could tell their families that they were alive and that they had not lost them all, because they wanted to see their brothers, sisters, children, fathers, mothers, entire families. Because their families believed that they had lost them and they had to live with that pain without knowing if they lived or not. And also tell those relatives of those who died, of those who could not return, that they fought as a team and did everything possible so that everyone who was there returned alive, although some could not. The morbidity is sad and that they only see the story for that reason without knowing what it meant for them and for us Uruguayans, what they did as a team and for their friends. They are free of all guilt, their fight was for love, love that was always for others.
Don't judge until you have walked in their shoes or been in their situation...❤ 😢
I remember when this happened. Yes, the media focused on that but please trust me that everyone I knew had nothing but praise for the bravery of these dear souls. We heard it sensationalized but only in the media. Like all prejudices, Americans are judged by the bad behavior of a few. Most of us are empathetic.
Totally agree. It’s what you see on the media and sadly still seeing. Anyone I talk to about is on the side of those very brave young people, lives worth saving, and they were in an impossible situation, and had to do what they had to do. One who has not been stranded anywhere with no hope of ever been found, nor have been starving !so people should not judge,,if that was one of my children I would just be glad they were alive. They made the effort to try to get back to their families.
I agree. They did what they had to do to survive. There’s no shame in it.
As an American, who was alive when this tragedy happened... I agree with you, whole heartedly.
I think it’s so wrong of the people who judged these people for just merely surviving. After watching Society of the Snow you get a deeper understanding of what these people went through.
You just don’t know what your do unless you experience what these crash victims did 70days is a long time to live in those conditions.

Of Survival - SUCH AMAZING PERSEVERENCE ❤

I knew an old man who was captured by the Japanese in WW2, he spoke about death marches and stated that 'an empty belly has no conscience ' . How true, none of us know what we'd do in those circumstances .

I don't know these men. I'm sure many have since passed. Can't say therefore whether any are Christian. What I do know is God forgives those who believe. The Bible is full of stories of God's mercy and forgiveness for His children. Perhaps some, maybe all, of the men are believers. I know this. If they are, or were, they most definitely asked His forgiveness. He forgave them and I know this because that's what He tells us too, and I believe Him. After an experience like that, can't imagine life without His grace.
None of us alive right now have any right to judge. Very tragic moment in time.
I am from India and I'm 25 yrs old now. When I was a school kid in 8th grade, for the first time, I read this book in Marathi language. It was 13yrs ago. It was called as " Te Sattar Divas" meaning "Those 70 days". And suddenly today, after all these years, this reel story popped up and I watched it. It was nostalgic. ❤❤❤
I watched this movie today. An incredible story and a true masterpiece. RIP to those who didn’t survive, but whose passing enabled their friends to live on.

Personally, I don't blame them one -bite- bit. They did what they had to do, in order to survive. What they went through; mentally and physically, was unbelievably tough.
Narrator said lightly: "they then decided to eat the frozen flesh of the deceased ". But the decision/vote was definitely not done lightly or easily, as depicted in the movie "Alive".
😂
The film 'Alive' is not true to the real story, and especially that scene is not portrayed realistically. The survivors say that movie is a very superficial and historically inaccurate depiction of their ordeal.
It's not an option when you don't have a choice...😢
😂 Winner!
The survivor says the movie Alive is a Disney movie compared to what happened. Go watch “Society of the snow”
What ISN'T mentioned, is that there was very little shaming of those who survived, and the families of the victims were HAPPY and PROUD that their loved ones' deaths were able to help others survive.
I was around when that happened. Amazing how they survived. A couple of movies have been made of this, but the original book was outstsnding. For many years some of the survivors could not come to talk about their experience.. who knows what we would do in the same situation..
Me too. The movie was on of the best i've seen on television
I read the book Alive back in 1977, it was in my school library. I still remember the vivid images the book described. I have seen a couple of movies made about it....The book, however was excellently written.
This is a story that I will never forget.
They continued to fight for their lives and their families even if they didn’t have any hope left. Truly an inspirational masterpiece ❤

That was miracle in itself that they’ve survived against all the odds. I’m glad they’ve never crossed the path with wolves. That’s a nightmare for me.

I was in High School also. I remember this being on the
three main News Channels here in The U.S.
People in the Comments here seem to forget that Communications, as well as Air Support are different now, and not only that, but the snow was so bad that the Helicopters could not just zig zag around the Mountain looking in the snow, for a white plane, indefinitely. The local rescue organizers and the Country Officials called off the rescue, and people in this thread are blaming America for giving up because "it was too expensive, and America didn't want to spend the money".
I don't get it, that even though we help in any catastrophe we arallowed to, we are always blamed for either being too late, or for leaving... when it is the 'Host Country' that calls the shots.

You do what you gotta do to survive. They didn’t kill anyone.
Did they do this by killing others? No. Did they do this for mere pleasure? No. Who are we to condemn, then? God judges the heart.
This story stuck with me from the moment I first read it in my early teens, I’m now 37. I couldn’t help putting myself in their position as I read the story & I just felt absolutely crushed for them. They tried eating the stuffing out of the seats to begin with.. which ironically wasn’t mentioned in this short, likely for sensationalism & shock value. If memory serves me correct, some even refused to eat their friends & starved to death. This was the hardest decision for them, either watch one another perish like they’d watched others, or resort to eating their dear friends, & all agreed they’d hope their friends would do the same if the tables were turned for survival. They also had one failed attempt at escaping for help. They did what they had to do for survival, to see their loved ones again. Heartbreaking all round x
A CZcams video short does not summarize one single bit of what these young men really went through. Read their books.
Poor people, they did everything they could to survive. I just can't imagine going through the same.
You gotta do what you gotta do. No rules in an emergency.
Well said!
Well there are rules... what are you talking about.
May none of us ever have to face such circumstances…may we offer others that have, the grace of understanding…
Of course there are rules. In this instance they helped and supported each other and the people who died were passed caring but to say anything goes in an emergency? On a sinking ship would it be ok for a strong person to steel a weaker persons lifejacket because they didn't have one? In a similar situation if no one died in the crash would it be ok to kill the weak too eat ?
@angelaclements1244 You are taking it out of context. There's food available, but it comes with a taboo. So should they starve? Nobody was forced to eat. Your choice eat what's available or starve to death. They should not have been condemned for choosing to live. Anything else is just silly
The book was called Alive. I read the book long before the movie came out..I was in high school when I read the book. It made a huge impact on me on so many levels. The book was much more in the 'feels' department and the team working together than the movie, and that is what the whole thing was hinged on.
No one really can ever say what they would not do to survive such a tragic situation unless faced with the same circumstances, God forbid. Bless the survivors and families of all involved.
The way I cried my eyeballs out when they saw that man by the river!!!!!!!!!!
I cried at no other point in the movie and then when they saw the man by the river I cried until it went off 😭😭💕💕😭😭💕💕👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏼🙏🏼
This is a remarkable story to say the least!!!!!!! You never know what you're made of until you're put in unique situations!!!!

I am so proud of each and everyone of the survivors! I pray that their lives are calm and safe!
The pain that all of them must have gone through is unimaginable! Heroes!
Just watched the society of the snow , literally a wonderful movie
Deserves an Oscar❤❤
Shame on those people who judges them for surviving that way, what if tables have turned I know they would also make the same decision if they want to survive.
Do u see ghosts? I don't see a single comment who said they should have ordered Uber eat instead of eating other human.
All I see people r supporting their decision.
Imagine anyone surviving then having to face such a desperate situation. I cannot believe their strength & endurance.
That was not cannibalism, that was survival. It took courage to make that decision instead of just giving up.
They didn't try to hide anything, for respect they didn't want this to come to light until they spoke to the families of those who did!'t return
This is such an incredible story. Blessings to them all.
I have watched several movies and documentaries about this occurrence and I think many of them do a good job minimizing the eating of flesh and making it clear that none of them really wanted to do it, but they had that innate desire to live. And there were some very, horrifically miserable times these men went through - the freezing, the injuries and pain, the absolute despair - the amount of strength these men had is awe inspiring
May all of the deceased souls Rest in Peace and may God comfort the hearts of the survivors and continue to bless them. Thank you for sharing this story.
They did what they had to do. The spirit becomes mighty and will do anything to keep one from dying. We’re just passengers on a super hero’s journey at that point… along for the ride. I think they are remarkable

People donate their bodies for medical research.
Donating your body for literally saving someone's life is the greatest thing one can do with their body.
A book was written named “ALIVE”. It’s a fantastic read. It tells the whole story of the crash, the dead & dying, the choice to ingest the dead for survival (let it be totally understood there was no killing. They died of exposure & trauma) How they survived and the grit it took to not give up! (They were very religious and was taught it a sin to ingest human flesh. One man told the priest & they were absolved of any sin because it was done to survive) I read the book twice. It was bought in the 1970’s. The photos are included.
If someone only gets cannibalism from the story, they completely missed the point
U can’t judge someone unless u walk a mile in their shoes … when u do that Ul know why they did what they did and not judge anymore 🙂🙂.. life sometimes forces out hand and presents very difficult choices .. 😢😢😢
Yeh you can go out and find animals to eat like normal people🤡🤡🤡
Many heroes in this story, especially the two who walked to find help! Don't be so quick to judge others, you may have to do something you never dreamed!
I watched the movie. All survivors when the plane crashed in the middle of the snowy mountain were heroes. The rescue was abandoned after 10 days, it was a wrong judgement. I didn’t realized I was motionless while watching, I felt the survivors losing hope but some made it.
I’m sure the families of the deceased who couldn’t get their relatives’ bodies back would have been extremely traumatised. But at the end they only did what they had to out of desperation. Oh the guilt and trauma!
But 1 alive and 1 missing body is better than 2 dead bodies.
@@gaybrialaverynaw you didn't 💀
There were still remains left for the families. They didn't eat the entire bodies, just the meatier portions (rump, etc. )
Actually, they did eat almost the entire bodies, including the bones to get calcium. When the rescue team arrived at the crash site, the survivors showed them little piles of bones and the dead's faces that looked like masks. But 13 bodies were found intact.
In the book is written that they eat everything except lungs and genitalia.
Heart, brain, liver...they eat everything.
The real question is… Did it taste like chicken?

I'd watched the movie Alive, but the documentary, with the events being retold by the survivors, is so much more brutal and heroic than the movie could ever portray.
The 10 day trek that Nando and Roberto made, after what they'd already endured was truly miraculous.
To anyone that judges them for what they had to do survive will never understand what they went through
It's a story that contains anthropophagia not cannibalism. Since it was considered an act of survival and not grotesque pleasure, the Catholic church told them they had no sins to confess. Also the choice to eat the dead did not come easily and it didn't come without consequences like constant bowel issues. The survivors also had to endure days of constipation and days of diarrhea.
I think we should stop doing that. Cannibalism is when one human being eats the body of another human being regardless of what the situation is.
So to put into perspective what you said is, “It’s a story that contains ‘the eating of human flesh by human beings’ (anthropophagia) not ‘the eating of human flesh by humans’ (cannibalism)” 😒
🎥Movie : Society of the snow (Netflix)
Id do the same. You can never judge a person for what they dod to survive. Never shame them.
Why the fuck would authorities stop the search after only 10 days ?
Because this was a dangerous plane crash they thought they would have died. They were not able to find them because of snow and aeroplane was of same color. And after 10 days they thought that if someone would have survived that they may have died due to the temperature that was -30 degree celcius. 😅

this tragic story is explained by Dhruv rathe he explained everything in detail and also it is surprising how brave this people are and how they never gave up
My dad directed the whole mountain part of the movie
Cool!
You should be very proud of your father.
Could you imagine having to eat one of your friends? Think about how they felt when they had to do the unthinkable, just to stay alive. I couldn’t imagine!
Then having to answer to it, after they were rescued. Knowing some people would not understand.
Until you’ve been in the same situation, I don’t know how anyone could judge them.
The movie Alive about this crash and survival was excellent. The actors met with the survivors in order to bring their experience to life.
I would never judge their decisions for survival. Some of the survivors who eventually passed even gave permission to use their bodies for substance.
They are heroes for living through this horrible disaster.
My elementary school friend's uncle was in that crash and was one of the two that went for help. Also from what I was told they didn't just outright eat the dead like might be imagined. They rolled tiny bits of flesh in snow. There is no judgement from me. They did what they had to do to survive.
I remember this very well: the crash; the abandonment of the search; the astonished reaction when news came through that survivors had been found; the worldwide interest; the "questions" and ghoulish interest as to how they had survived; and the later books, documentaries and Hollywood film "Alive" (based on Piers Paul Reed's book of the same title). Extraordinary that you should have such a close knowledge of one of those two men who made that remarkable and desperate life or death walk for survival.

There's a movie about this. I watched it. Was very sad. I forgot what it was called.
But there was a few women that survived the crash. But cause of the cold they end up dying. I remember the man said eat any flesh but not her. He buried his wife in the snow.
This movie made me cry.
All 16 or 15 men survived.
3 men went to get help. They took some flesh with them. Which they ate frozen. But that was there only survival. They tried to grab what food and supplies they could from the plane. The food ran out. They went 1 day without food. And they decided there only survival was the deceased flesh. I wouldn't want to be in that situation but I will do what I have to.
3 men went out to look for help. They carried what they could with them to survive.
1 man had to go back as they was running out of food.
So 2 went on with the journey. I don't know how many days it took them. But someone saw them. I remember they offered them bread. They was so relieved to find help and get better food.
Try searching for a movie about a plane crash in chili that happened in October 1972

These wonderful survivors lived on to have families, careers, friends.

The name of the plane was Fair Child. A book and a novel came out about this incident. The name was 'ALIVE'. I have read the book. It is truly a gripping narrative.
I can't believe they abandoned the search after 10 days. 😢😢 Devestating for the survivors who were forced to make the ultimate decision.
I pray they all came to peace with how they survived.
Who just gives up after 10 days? Like tf
I've heard that it was way too dangerous because of the very bad weather. More people would've died and the victims wouldn't be found cause the pilot gave wrong indications.
They all thought that victims were in Chile when actually the plane crashed in Argentina
at that time the weather in the Andes was very aggressive, they gave up the search because a freezing season was coming, in addition to the hostility of the climate they were looking for corpses from the beginning.
