On Friday, October 13,1972, a plane that had been flying from
Uruguay to Chile with 45 people on board crashed into a mountain
in the Andes. Flow some o f the passengers managed to live is one o f
the great survival stories.
Twenty-nine people died in the crash and in the weeks following
it. On the mountain, it was freezing cold and the survivors stayed
inside the crashed plane to stay warm. They had very little food
and were in very great danger while they waited for a rescue team.
After 11 days on the mountain, they found a small radio on the
plane and they heard the news that the rescue teams had stopped
searching for them. All hope was gone. They were alone and
terrified.
Days became weeks. Two months after the crash, after they had
waited for summer to arrive, three of the passengers, Roberto
Canessa, Nando Parrado and Antonio Vizintin, left to search for
help. Each man wore three pairs of socks, with a plastic bag around
each foot to keep the water out, boots, four pairs of trousers and
four jumpers. Many of the clothes were from the people who had
died in the crash. They also took with them a large sleeping bag
that they had made. Only they could save the others now.
How did these brave young men cope with the journey? None
of them had climbed mountains before and it was hard. They
climbed very dangerous, icy peaks, trying to reach the top of the
mountain. Some days later, exhausted and cold, they reached it.
They had imagined this moment for days. On the other side of the
mountain, they wanted to see a valley below that would take them
out of the mountains. But instead of a valley, they saw more of
the same snowy peaks. Lots of them. They weren’t near the end of
the mountains; they were in the middle of them. What could they
do now?

Friday, October 13, 1972: Flight 571, carrying Uruguay's rugby team, crashes in the Andes. Of the 45 on board, 29 die. Survivors endure harsh conditions, waiting for rescue. After 11 days, they learn rescue efforts have ceased. Desperate, three men—Canessa, Parrado, and Vizintin—embark on a perilous journey for help. Battling exhaustion and cold, they reach a mountain peak, only to realize they're in the middle, not near the end. Hope remains when they spot two distant peaks without snow. To survive, they implement a plan, and after days of walking, find a valley leading them out of the mountains. Rescuers save the remaining survivors. The ordeal is over, and the memory of their Andes crash lingers, but they've triumphed—alive.
