  • In October 1972, a plane crashed in a remote part of the Andes, and a group of young rugby players survived for 72 days in the snow with no means of finding food.
    Dr Roberto Jorge Canessa is a Uruguayan peadiatric cardiologist and one of the 16 survivors of the Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571.
    Canessa spoke to BBC News about his harrowing experience.
    The survivors were discovered after two of the players trekked for days with no specialist equipment or clothes to get help.
    The starving passengers of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 were only able to stay alive by eating the bodies of those who did not survive.

    'Do you think you'd have survived two months without food' is essentially what she asked, what kind of question is that. The guy is like I did do it and I still lost 30 kilos what do you think

      Yes true. As if he did it out of malice. He was starving

    "Let me remind you of the story." Literally everyone knows the story. Several years ago the members left of the two rugby teams met and finally played the game they were meant to play.

      Not really, shows perhaps that his body was healthier and in a better condition to begin with. In concentration camps and gulagi people were passing out and dying left and right and many even died on the way to them. The survivors that we mostly hear from were kids at that time which probably helped to survive in those conditions but older people had tougher time

    I read the book when i was in high school (1995 or 96), and i remember everything in that book til now. Even me as a teen just directly approved what they did to survive and wish to tell them that if i were the dead friend i would let them eat my flesh rather than letting them die from starving. From the book i could imagine how it became a nightmare for them when they finally decieded to cut the flesh of their friend and the first time that matchbox size flesh were eaten that they couldn't even chew it. I haven't watch the movie and maybe will not because the book has given me crystal clear vision of their days up there.

    Either wait it out in the wreckage or try and make it back to civilisation and if I don't make it, so be it.
