I could not agree more! The "CGI" used was not over the top like in today's films, it was obvious they used more props and people, but you know what using real props made it feel all the more REAL and intimate. I cringed when the guy hit is head and the seats were ripping off.. very well done!

[@thefurbeastunderyourbed5012]

Julio Mateo I can't imagine what an awful death getting sucked out of the plane must be, regardless of at what altitude. Always wonder what happens when they're out...instant death? Slow suffocation for oxygen lack? Slow freezing or shock-freezing? Or a painful demise upon impact...*shudder*

[@Oksenberg]

Yeah they are killer, all practical except for what may be an optical effect when you see them sucked out. For me the effectiveness is in the editing, it's paced so well. You could follow the action (not super fast cutting like today) with what exactly is happening to the plane and in little moments they give to the characters. So visceral and scary. The sound design too, that engine...

[@joshchelf7729]

For those wondering why the crash happened, they were flying a very primitive underpowered twin prop engine (Fairchild F-227) that didn't have radar. There was heavy cloud cover so the pilots were flying on "dead reckoning" (guess work) and estimating how long it would take to clear the mountains. Unfortunately they failed to take into account a severe headwind that slowed them down substantially, misjudged their position, and began their descent while still in the middle of the range. The pilots realized their mistake at the last second and tried to pull back up but the mountain air was too thin for the plane to climb.

[@MatameVideos]

They also did a wrong turn at some point, so even if the still miscalculated everything else, if they didin't make that turn wrong they would've landed much closer to Chile and they would've also be located much faster since it would've crashed closer to the planned route.

@@michelleann414 Glad to hear you read it. One thing that really struck me was in the epilogue, he mentioned that specialists were saying these guys would need professional help for most of their lives but aside from the one fella ending up with a drug dependency, they all led pretty successful lives and learned how to move on from that tragedy with minimal professional help. It was great to find out how Nando and Jackie Stewart became friends and of course how he met his wife. I think it should be mandatory reading for schools in the grade 10-12 level just to help teenagers get through those difficult years. That one passage in the book when he was consoling that poor woman who had the unfortunate accident with her daughter and he said to her that "we all have our own personal Andes" has stuck with me throughout the years.

The Chile newspaper said “The cannibals have returned.” What a thoughtless and grossly unfair thing to say. Cannibalism is when you intentionally kill someone to eat them. This was survival, a heart wrenching decision. Even the Chilean public and the Catholic Church were repulsed at what they did and shunned them, but after thinking it through they agreed it was the only thing they could have done. The Church “absolved them of their sin” in eating the dead. What sin?? There was no sin. They did the right thing.

I've never seen this before. This entire scene is incredibly well done. First it's done simply. No unnecessary fancy direction, almost documentary. You look at each of the actors as the turbulence kicks in, some are nervous, some are fooling around - but then there are those fooling around in an effort to try and not look scared. Then when the engines power up and they figure something's wrong. The look on the steward's face that this is something different. Then everything suddenly ramps up into that end-time. The lack of music, the eerie quiet, the way you feel the speed from rush of the wind and the objects flying as if you're in that small metal tube. Really well done, and all the acting in its underplayed realism and quiet terror sells it.

To be fair, when the Pilot said "stay above the weather" they were flying above the mountains so it was imperative for them to keep the plane as safe as possible (due to the limitations and engine underpowering of the aircraft). However when they start the decent the entire path ahead should be clear of mountains so at that point they could endure the cross winds without much problems. Of course, they never knew that they did a wrong turn 20 minutes ago and instead of landing into the Santiago City outskirts they where flying into the middle of the Andes.

@@annastone Also United 811 from Los Angeles to Sydney, shortly after the flight's stop in Honolulu the side cargo door suffered an electrical malfunction that caused the door to open in flight. When it opened the rapid depressurization of the cabin caused the door to violently swing open and damage the plane. Four rows of passengers seated right next to the cargo door were almost immediately ejected out into the sky seats and everything, another passenger from the closest seat on the other side was sucked out as well, though not with their seat. One flight attendant held onto the railing of the stairs for dear life as the air continued to flow out of the cabin. The crew got the plane into an emergency descent to 10,000 ft where the air was breathable and then turned back around to make an emergency landing in Honolulu without losing additional passengers.

I wouldn't call it inspiring. They ate each other and waited 2 months before actually leaving the sight to search for help. And the only reason they went out to search was because they were running out of friends bodies to eat. And one attempt of search, they found a village pretty fast that saved them.
