Fairchild 571 impact point

[@kristinabialas4405]

I really enjoyed your work in the "I Am Alive" documentary. Incredibly interesting, and it helped make that documentary one for the ages.

[@dyanshane]

Mr Pena, thank you for all the work that you do in bringing those of us who would love to do the same, but cannot for many different reason's. I have great fascination for the single utmost amazing human endurance struggle that has ever happened. I hope your blessed in being able to bring us more story's. It must be so rewarding to get to know these amazing people. God bless!

[@chrisholt4804]

I still remember this movie was I was a young kid. Crazy to think your at that point where so much suffering took place, like it almost never happened.

[@buckcampbell3260]

I’m late to this video. Not saying you are wrong about the impact point, but as an airline pilot let me tell you faced with mountains and trying to get over them, the pilots didn’t have time to do anything except add max power and pull up. I am positive they never had a chance to try and aim for a low point.

[@LauRa-re9un]

Qué buena info y qué buena toma!! no puedo creer que estabas solo allí. Gracias por mostrarnos esa otra posibilidad.

[@CaptainSmith23]

Hi Richard. this story has lasted a long time like TITANIC and CHERNOBLY, it will be around forever because of the surviving passengers and how they lived and found civilization again.

[@chiasanzes9770]

What is Chernobly? I know there's a radioactive area Chernobil but I never heard of Chernobly😂.

[@sp3dgar]

Yes I find all three stories very interesting

[@MachTuck]

Hi Ricardo, any impact marks on any rock formations up there? went up there by yourself? great footage!

[@alneal100]

I listened to some of your music. Very talented fellow!

[@theresa42213]

Ricardo. l heard you guys are really good friends now. You make good documentaries too!

[@kevinjoseph517]

where is the mountain he climbed? Id like to see it, in winter, from the crash site.

[@sp3dgar]

All I know is the name of the glacier the fuselage came to a stop on was named the glacier of tears

[@vonerotateca]

Interesting. Do you know the approximate compass direction the aircraft was heading at the impact point?

[@josephutsch4936]

Heading north into the Andes at that point I'm rather sure

[@alanstevens1296]

What happened to the tail section? Is it still there? ¿Qué pasó con la sección de la cola? ¿Todavía está allí?

[@joshchelf7729]

Mr. Pena, I believe I read somewhere that not all the bodies of the crash victims were ever recovered after the rescue. Have you ever seen any indication of human remains on or around the impact zone?

[@rudineilopesdesouza1899]

Good question I too watch the film if the history going how the survivors telling probably was hide because I don't see they speak about those partners died very sad here in brazil the television talk about the acident but never telling where be the remainds all the others bodies never the survivors organized one expedicion for search sometimes going or place and make one reporting this not interesting because the world watch for tv or ears for radio the notice debt be partial

[@jamiejones4276]

Post more footage of your expedition! :-) this story is fascinating

[@monsterhunter5403]

Ten years ago.... 2015....this is from the future!😂

The Low End Kid 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣💯🙌

[@EricBlair-jg2ux]

He obviously meant 10 years ago from 2015 (2005)

[@monsterhunter5403]

@@EricBlair-jg2ux sarcasm. Look it up.

[@EricBlair-jg2ux]

@@monsterhunter5403 Think you need to look up the definition more than I do

[@topgopnik]

Did they salvage all of the bodies or they really ate all of them?

[@johnnyrico707]

Not all of the bodies were eaten

[@liammay7756]

@@johnnyrico707 they didn't eat the bones. But they got creative. Brains, liver, heart, intestines etc..

[@isakrosgrim1872]

What happend to the plane did you see it

[@liammay7756]

I would be very interesting to understand the vast distances from one peak to another.. I'd assume it's at least 25 to 30ish miles or so as you're looking back at the direction the airplane was coming from.. correct me if I'm wrong. I retract my comment.. this is not the peak that the UAF 571 crashed on.. It was the peak past his left.. That is all i can say. the families' don't want the public to know the exact location .. it is sacred.

[@AnitaD28]

I recently saw the movie "Alive" and I believe the plane not disintegrating was a miracle with no scientific explanation .... as if they were divinely protected by Gods grace . A beautiful story of survival.

[@miatafan]

Anita Luca oh yeah god really saved them so they could starve to death or eat their fellow man, couldn’t have been that the plane was well engineered

[@hedgehog1965uk]

Seriously? So God couldn't just give the under-powered Fairchild enough extra lift to get them completely over the ridge and save them all? He was a bit halfhearted in his divine protection wasn't he?

[@GiordanDiodato]

I believe it's because the pilots tried to pull up. If they hadn't, and the plane hit head-on, it would have been no survivors. Just look at the crash of Thai Airways 311 to see what happens when a plane hits head-on with a mountain.

[@willnill7946]

Guys are so edgy taking down that Christian commenter.

[@dyanshane]

@@miatafan I am really tired of people like you. Go crawl in a hole somewhere with your fellow demons.

[@SuperSlappy25]

Where is the fuselage?

[@Legoboy453]

Maybe was pushed by avalanche

[@AlexRN]

Nowhere to be found because this accident happened 52 years ago! There are however some plane debris still there today.

[@SuperSlappy25]

@miriamlevin wow. never heard that before

[@Gonken88]

Yeah I think there's a lot of this story that's never been told.

[@zmanphx]

It seems the plane's direction of travel was north/east. It entered the valley from the west side.

[@TEAMAGEPRODUCTIONS]

Amazing. I have had a dream of taking my dad here. Do you think it is possible? Is it open to climb for anyone?

[@maplebear6527]

Go for it haha

[@christinamarcet1780]

There are expedition teams that will take you there by horse. That would be easier if you’ve never been at altitude, and you would have a guide.

[@TEAMAGEPRODUCTIONS]

@@christinamarcet1780 what's crazy is since I posted that comment, I went :)

[@jessecarr9415]

am agree with it,, it sounds pretty logical,,but I was wonder the other day ,,why they never make a airplane tire fire,,,or cables plastics and some rubbers they really make to much black smoke

[@GiordanDiodato]

makes it able to fly.

[@jetblue319]

All they had was cigarettes lighters, not enough heat to create a fire on a thick aircraft tire.
