- In December 1972, a chartered aircraft carrying a Uruguayan rugby team was found 72 days after it crashed in the Andes. Incredibly, there were 16 survivors, who managed to stay alive by eating from the bodies of their dead team-mates. This is the incredible story of "The Miracle in the Andes".

It is inexplainable how Nando and Canessa spent 10 days in below zero temperatures, sometimes in snow up to their waists, climbing up and down rocky cliffs - and while wearing only layered sweaters and trousers with their leather rugby boots and socks for mittens. They had a 'sleeping bag' sewn from insulation ripped from the plane, but it barely kept them warm in temps of 30 below zero at night. The odds were absolutely stacked against them. I'll never fully understand how they made that trek.
I finally got to see Nando Parrado speak in person in August 2015. One of the few things on my bucket list. He insists he's not a hero, which I simply can't accept. He is a hero.
Robert Slydell how is a shameless cannibal a hero??
Robert Slydell I'm neither. These guys have cashed in on this story through books, movies , speaking engagements etc etc in which complete suckers pay to go and listen to. How many years later and they're still babbling on and on with their BS. It's indeed ' vile' people who endlessly take advantage of a tragedy.
And are you saying they weren't cannibals? That's precisely what they were no matter the circumstances.
It's the latter. Canessa is a heart surgeon, Parrado took over the family business and is a successful businessman in his own right. They "babble" because they are asked about it to this day, it's a great survival story that inspires people. Fuck off.
Robert Slydell Ok so it's a side job.. or should I say a side Con. Anyway if this crap made your bucket list then no offense but you need to upgrade that list...maybe to having ice cream for breakfast . lol sounds a little more exciting I'd say.
Keep your misery to yourself. Fuck off.
It blows my mind that they even survived the plane crash in the first place.
What a terrible title for the Greatest Miracle of Our Time ... To say it like that Cannibalism what a slap in the face of the survivors ... They Survived that is the Whole Point ... Cheap shot to get viewers
Mary Gilbert Exactly, totally agree, I also made the same point. Shame to even mention "cannibalism" at least before checking out the meaning!!
But not wrong
@@mrmysterious419 very much wrong!! Look up the meaning of the term! Not at all definig&describing what they had to do!! There's another term for what they did. But the point lies in sensationalist headlines&titles.
I know the meaning of the term, they had to eat human flesh to survive which is called canabilism and again not wrong to be used because the did eat them eventually.
It's still cannibalism. Nothing pretty about what they had to do to survive.
The most amazing example of human survival I've ever heard. But this wasn't some "reality show".. This was for real!!!! God bless those people.
Thats cause you have never heard of the 3 fishermen from Nayarit Mexico that were lost at sea and rescued 9 months later close to New Zeland.
@@regil93 let me guess... you're Mexican? 😴
@@yelyharmony2047 I'm actually an Irish fisherman, from Wexford.
@@regil93 and I'm an alien
@@yelyharmony2047 thats grant
I can’t even imagine the ptsd they’ve experienced from this
Nando Parrado wrote a book called Miracle in the Andes. In the epilogue he mentions that many experts believed they would need lifelong long counselling to deal with issues they were sure would come up. According to Nando, they pretty well came through it with minimal problems. They all lived successful lives and stay in touch helping each other. A lot of it had to do with their religious beliefs.
They didn't because they strong family bonds and faith in a higher force.
None because cannibalism is natural , maybe from the plane crash tho.

“Cannibalism”? You should be more respectful to the story, the survivors, and the dead. Miserable title.
If it is not cannibalism, what is it?.. they did eat human flesh didn't they?
So is there another word for eating humans?
@@rockedred There is another way of paraphrasing. And focusing the whole story ONLY on that, is extremely disrespectful. The story is not that they had to eat their friends and family. The story is that they survived 72 days in the most inhospitable place on earth. That they had to rescue themselves because society had abandoned them. The story is that they had to walk across the andes with no mountain training nor equipment whatsoever. The human flesh eating was just a consequence of all that and another anecdote to the whole story.
If you knew anything about them, you'd know that they dislike the fact that people only focus on that. There is so much more to it. So yes. They had to do cannibalism. No one is denying that. But It doesn't make it any less disrespectful to use that title and focus the attention only on that.
@@valeriaardanaz4180 ??????????????????
@@valeriaardanaz4180 Its still cannibalism. cannibalism saved their lives...
This story never ceases to amaze me. And everyone of these survivors is a hero in my eyes! That struggle to survive, i cant even imagine.
I just
I met Roberto Canessa and he actually tried to sell us his house that was for sale. He is such a wonderful man and he signed his book for me
Did he try to eat you?
black latina7 That’s a very distasteful comment! Have some respect.
@@blacklatina7266 do you have any respect?
@@blacklatina7266 very bad comment.
I heard this story hundred times. Every time it comes up on my recommendations I watch it respect
I cant Imagine a worse situation nor harder choices....
Really?
@@mrararatovich you can? describe your worse situation nor harder choices
@@SivvCiB someone's kidnapped one's child and demands to do an atrocity for returning him/her (this one of many more)
@@mrararatovich so whats the ultimatum?
@@SivvCiB Use your imagination. I'm sure you can come up with something sufficient
Fantastic document! The quality of the footage is incredible.
The title should be Love Is Stronger Than Death; Nando Parrado & Roberto Canessa: Heroes Against All Odds
Why? It's a story about cannabilism. Its an accurate title.
@@NCinflitratingNinja this is NOT story about cannibalism... This is story about love, friendship, solidarity, hope and amazing strength and courage...
Best teamwork skills ever... 😳
Amazing and heartbreaking story.
It was pilots error, instead of continuing on and eventually turning right touching down in Chile, the pilot turned right half way across taking them into the heart of the Andes, in to a Valley surrounded by mountains, the plane was white in color and couldn’t be seen from the air
@@sirhigh2967 actually this time it was the pilot's error. There was nothing wrong with the plane.
@@sirhigh2967 u serious? 🤦
Sir High shoutout those pilots who saved them by not knowing the proper path and descending 10 miles early
@@sirih4085 wonder if they sued for.. damages 😒
How about don’t blame anybody? It’s really easy to say what YOU would have done when you’re not in an airplane full of passengers plummeting towards the ground.
Wow, I already got chills from this story.
Alive 1 of my favorite Books & movies of all times ! They survived against all odds. An moving story of survival like nothing else.
One of the greatest stories for many generations.
Words fail to describe the feeling of these players, who fought bravely to survive..
I remember when this occurred and I remember hearing the search had been called off. It was sad .... then when they were found it was like unbelievable ! There is beauty in this story.
This story changed my life.
This is so sad
I read the book a long time ago before there was CZcams. Very inspiring story of survival.
what book
@@hawaiianprestigecars8493 The Andes plane disaster.
Had to come here after watching Alive, great movie, amazing story of survival
Worst air crash ever just hatsoff those survive nd RIP those lost lives . . .
Hasnain safeer they are hero
I don't know sept 11 was pretty bad aswell.
@@themafia3119 but that was a totally different story!!! That was on purpose, and there were hundreds of volunteers trying to rescue the most people they could. And many died trying. They were also heroes, on their own way. These kids were teenagers in the middle of nowhere... knowing rescue teams wouldn´t come, and they had to survive by themselves or die trying.
@@lauruguayitausa he said worst plane crash , this was a tragedy but when you look at 9/11 then not much comparison , the amount of lives lost and it resonated around the world. 9/11 Worst plane crash to date, in my view .
if you’ve watched the film your a legend
RIP all the victims. May all the survivors be forgiven for doing so. They did it for survival. They did it so they have a story to tell. This is a great experience of mankind.
I believe the Pope went out of his way to bless and absolve them, and assure them the Lord would not judge them.
They don't need forgiveness, they did nothing wrong
Heart breaking
documentary: miracle in the Andes
also documentary: cannibalism in the Andes
I hate that "cannibalism" is what everyone remembers this story. It also gives the impression that they killed each other to eat each other in order to survive. That's not what happened! They ate the bodies of those who had already died! And what about the incredible survival or these people banding together? What about the amazing bravery of those 2 who ventured out into the unknown for help? Why can't we remember this about that story?
wow what an incredible story of survival!...this is the first time i heard such a story like this.😟
What an incredible story. I couldn’t imagine.
Increíbles imagenes a color. Nunca las había visto.
Donde se pueden conseguir mas?
AMAZING STORY!
What a miracle they got out and how sad for them...
The title...you could do better
What? It's pretty accurate?
hace unas semanas fallecio el arrriero que los encontro , tenia mas de 90 años toda una leyenda , saludo desde chile
8:40 looks like they were chilling out there
maybe that was when they got rescued
????????...that is all you have to say !
Imagine the PTSD the survivors had to live with.
This is tragic and sad but those men are true heroes
i wonder how the families of the ones who died felt about them eating their loved ones
They were understanding and said it was fine they had 2 choices to survive and do what they had to or died of starvation its sad to know they did it but it was the only way
I mean it’s necessary. I think the only people who would be against it are religious, like jehovah witnesses
Like organ donors
They were all Christians if not Catholics and took it like that sacrament. No one had a problem with what they did nor should they
The body that was eating was already died..the weak is become a food
Lamentable!! el titular!!!
3:00 In 1972 most suitcases were made of leather. Up there in the Andes they had long discussions if eating parts of them would be a kind of nutrition... but they realized it would bring more harm than use, due to the chemicals
The title is wrong. Imagine in that situation.
I can’t believe they haven’t changed it. Beyond disrespectful.
How were they able to get pictures of the incident and they smiling?
They found a camera on the remainings ir the plain
That’s a horrible title , they were young respectful guys who were starving, have some respect
On the second day on the mountain Roberto rubbed Suzanne hurt feet.
amazing the resilience, persistence, faith that these people demonstrated while fighting for their lives but rescuers gave up...probably because of $$.
Does anybody know the song played close to the end, and at the very end (min 14:10)?
On the other hand, saw the movie and the book Alive!, the book is impressive. It may help to understand those who wonder about the smiling photos :)
(I find the word "Cannibalism" in the tittle a bit out of place, I have to say)
The song is "Oh Brother" by Cyrus Reynolds
Got it! Thank you so much :)
Wow👏👏
Amazing story of survival! I even bought a DVD movie based on this true story...Phenomenal...I think each of the survivors is worthy of being included in the Guinness Book and for those who didn't survive A HUGE MONUMENT should be erected in the Andes in order it can be seen from airplanes.
Teambuilding and survival training in the highest level that's even possible
Rick and Morty references this event in season 4 ep 8
Nobody cares
rick and morty brought me here also
that is actually unintentional and they should go on living for the sake of their friends who want to meet their family
Was it spring? I always thought being that high up in the Andes it would always be cold & snowy. Also the 10 days they walked what did they eat ?
they packed human flesh inside the socks.
This wos amazing story!! Wery brawe ..yang people...oll of them were..and stay, l bealive the...same and today!!Desteny..;
pain and suffering
I’ll survive for you, buddy
Before these boys went on this plane, they were flying from South Africa and they played against a team called 'Patensie'. I know the previous President of Patensie Rugby Club personally, and he told me this story about wat happened. I cannot even fathom what these individuals had to go through!!
Pure miracle
Did any of the survivors go back to the crash site ?
The video should be entitled Heroism in the Andes.
please, read the Piers Paul Read book
What a terrible title.
*accurate
@@NCinflitratingNinja *terribly accurate
@@NCinflitratingNinja disrespectful* the correct term is anthropophagy
A few of these guys ended up going to the pope to be absolved for this. It’s easy to judge them from here, but we can’t understand their ordeal. Having to engage in anthropophagy to survive is something no one wants to experience.
Antonio 'Tintín' Vizintín was sent back to the fuselage when the expeditionaries (himself included) realised that the distance they had to walk was longer than they expected, and therefore, the 'food' they were carrying wouldn't be enough for the three of them.
'Tintín' says that, at the time, he didn't know his backpack was much heavier than Canessa's and Parrado's. It wasn't until many years later that he found out he'd climbed the highest mountain for three days carrying 40 kilos (88 pounds) of 'food' and water.
The title though🤦🏻
Sach a inspirational story🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
13:30 what emotional part....!!!
@Christine Ccolgate thank's for remind me
I thought they were go into detail about eating the meat like what parts and if they cooked it or ate raw

There is a movie about the crash, it's called "ALIVE", it's a great movie
brandy sigmon thanks
Why did my English teacher post this link on Google classroom
General knowledge brought me here.
Wonder how they decided who to eat..
The rich man's sons waited 72 days to come to rescue them, but they had a day's walk to the hotel with the thermal baths in the valley, incredible
Eighteen miles away from the crash site, there was a hotel abandoned since 1953, therefore, empty and with no food or supplies. And before the hotel, the expeditionaries would've come across two rivers which were, according to experts, impossible to cross at that time of year. And even if they'd managed to cross the rivers, they would've encountered miles and miles of a deserted area.
10:13 "managed to get a transistaor radio from the cockpit"
This is simply false. The transistor radio was inside of a luggage. The Radio from the cockpit wasnt working and they tried everything to get it to work. They took the radio from the coclpit to the tail of the plane, which was several miles away. Roy Harvey tried to repair it, but didnt succeed.
Who came here after Mohit sir's video?
"Alive" is pretty historically accurate.
it is! but the movie sins a lot in philosophical questions
The book 'Alive' is. The survivors say the movie is not true to the book, and find it disrespectful because a lot of facts were changed or made up, and quite a few important characters were left out of the story, in order to give Ethan Hawke's character the role of the superhero. Actually, what took those kids out of the mountains was teamwork at its best, and that's not portrayed in the film.
Here from the Chewy Suarez Q&A
Same here
What did I do
ज़िन्दगी ज़िन्दगी
Watch Movie Alive 1993. It was brought me here.
Wow is really scary!!!! Imagine eat they own team players by survivor !!!!
Antropofagia, no canibalismo.
*جيش دستور😚*
Luis Suarez q and a brought me here
They should make a movie
Theres a movie called alive about it
Its called..Alive...
Yes, in my country its on Netflix...
There are tons of documentaries on CZcams too
The film 'Society of the Snow', which will be released this week, does have the approval of the survivors and the families of those who couldn't make it out of the mountains.
It wasn´t cannibalism it was anthropophagy
I looked up the word, it means man eater; cannibals.
Only my fellow Uruguayos..very proud..but...why wait 72 days to trek?
there was a lot of snow, they couldn't walk or even sleep outside the fuselage because the nights were too cold. so they waited December (Summer in South Hemisphere)
They didn't WAIT. inform yourself, read the book "Miracle in the Andes", watch the movie "Alive", go to their conferences, listen to them. And tell me I'd they "waited".
Twitter brought me here
Change the Title it is "Miracle in the Andes". Period.
