@ailem270723 күн бұрын
The bodies were put together in the tomb under the iron cross and the fuselage was burned in January 1973. The bodies could not be repatriated due to logistical and political reasons, and the fuselage had to be burned due to international protocol (as to not confuse any searches in case another accident were to occur).

Yes. Or it could of crashed head on into the mountain and the families would probably never know what became of them. There was one Chilean DC-3 that went missing with a soccer team onboard back in 1961. It wasn’t found until 2015. The circumstances with the Andes Survivors plane crash is so extraordinary that people often scoffed at the fuselage sliding scene in Alive. They didn’t know the movie was based on a real event.

The expedition’s are done in the summertime in the Southern hemisphere. Most of the snow from the previous winter would have melted by then. It’s also worth pointing out that the winter of 1972 had more snowfall than had been seen in decades. All that being said, the glacier of tears that the fuselage came to rest on has receded considerably.

I've been with these young men since reading "Alive" back in 1976. For some reason this story doesn't leave me. I'm compelled every so often to go back and rewatch interviews, documentaries, read the books, etc. I'm not sure what it is that keeps bringing me back, but since watching "Society of the Snow" on Netflix, this story had hit me in a big way. My heart is always with these people; survivors and those departed. Seeing Javier's placque up there breaks my heart, and now Coche. It's so brave of Eduardo to go with you. I would still likely have PTSD. Then I'm guessing it's therapeutic for him in that he gets to visit his brothers again. To connect and at least talk with them a bit. The interesting thing is the site is so easy to get to now, yet for those who survived it was like a prison. Thank you for this video and allowing me to get situated as to where things are. I do appreciate it.

@@Qotsarena Pretty sure I read it in Piers Paul Read’s book, Alive. I don’t have it handy but here’s a quote from wiki about it: “They doused the remains of aircraft wreckage with gasoline and set it on fire. Eduardo Strauch later wrote in his book Out of the Silence that the bottom half of the fuselage, covered in snow and thus spared by the fire, was still there when he returned in 1995.” I should add that someone once posted that because the pilot and copilot bodies were so pinned by the instrument panel, they felt it would be best to cremate their remains thus the decision to douse it with gas. I have 3 books about this incident but don’t recall that being mentioned. It is plausible though.

All the survivors seemed to be heroes in their own right. One making a way to have water to drink; piling up the fuselage with luggage and other things they did just to survive. Their experience was truly a horror story and the two walking out and the chance of a person being on the other side of the river was incredible. This video is good/shows us outsiders the terrain which many of us would never have survived.

Yes. Roy Harley is portrayed in the 1993 movie in a pretty unflattering manner. However, when the avalanche hit, he was the only one who stood up before the snow buried everyone(except the two guys with leg injuries suspended off the floor). If not for Roy’s quick thinking, they probably all would have died right there. Roy quickly freed himself and dug out some who all joined in to help. Of course not all were saved but it could have been much worse.
