On December 21, 1972, two members of a rugby team from Uruguay - who had been walking through the snow-capped Andes mountains - encountered a shepherd.
They told him they had been in a plane crash and had been walking for 10 days. They had no food and were weak. There were 14 others still back on the plane.
The shepherd rode on horseback for eight hours to contact police, who sent helicopters to find the crash site.
It was over two months earlier, on October 13, 1972, when the chartered plane carrying the rugby team to Santiago, Chile, crashed in the Andes mountains.
Initially, 33 people remained alive. For 70 days, the survivors endured temperatures of 22 degrees below zero waiting for help. It never came.

José Luis 'Coche' Inciarte, who lived this tragedy at the age of 24, died from cancer on 27 July 2023. Like most of the passengers on that plane, he was not part of the rugby team. With a badly injured leg he had to 'operate on' with a razor blade to drain the pus, and seeing the days go by with no news about the expeditionaries (Canessa and Parrado), he decided to wait until Christmas Eve to let himself die in the Andes. Fortunately, the rescue helicopters arrived on 22nd December. He is described by the survivors as 'the sense of humour in the mountains', and as the one who brought tenderness to the hell they were living in.

The Andes's survivors story fascinated and shocked me as I was 11 years old, when I read Piers Paul Read's book. Of course, I watched the film "Alive!"...and I decided that, one day, I would visit the crash site. I finally went on trekking there in 2017. I was already 50 years old...a middle-aged man on a very, very dificult journey. Although I had climbed mountains since I was 16 years old, I was overweight. So I had to train for several months to regain breath and muscular resistance: It took me over one and a half year to be physically prepared. Of course, we went on there at the time of year when there is no snow, and equipped with all standard mountaineering equipment, as well as guided by professionals who know these mountains well. When I arrived the crash site, the first thing that came in my mind was: "I'm climbing with all this gear, outerwear, protein bars...but Canessa and Parrado had nothing but their will to survive. Wow. They're supermen. They're heroes."

I have been in situations similar (but NO WAY AS SEVERE AS THIS) and the mantra “do you give up here or do you push forward a few more steps?” Is a solid part of my soul at this point. I use to like the phrase “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” which is usually true for many people however what happens when it kills your soul? These survives had titanium souls. Even if I survived I can’t honestly say I would have been okay. I hope they all know they did what they had to do. No one can judge any actions they choose to take to survive. I pray they are all at peace with the outcome.

@@nezaotonashi9394 That is great you feel that way, but for some of us it is Roberto. I have my reason's why, and i am sure you have yours. I personally feel Nando would not have made it without him. Nando would have left to soon, and the winter storms would have done him in. Also Roberto spotted a road, Nando talked him out of it, had they went to the road, it would have saved them probably 4-5 days. Roberto went on to become a famous surgeon who has saved many more lives, of children! He is wonderfully sweet and way more personable than Nando. So those are my reason's, what are yours?

If he was a bit of a bully back then, he sure isn't now, he still saved all there lives.

He was 19 years old, a kid, Nando was 24 years old. Roberto still a teenager. Had he not been tough like he was with the brains he had, Nando would not have made it alone. He is a way different person now. I am sure the whole experience changed him immensely. Why would you even compare his 19 year old self to who he is now? He saves babies now, he married his childhood sweetheart and is still married to her, all these years. Whatever, you want to conclude, he was a kid, and he had to be tough on some of the others, he wasn't the only one who was...and he was changed forever after that..your like the first person i have ever come across that feels compelled to bash him when you don't even know him.

The survivors say that the book 'Alive' tells the facts accurately (although they don't agree with the way Pancho Delgado is depicted in), and that the book 'The Snow Society', written more than 30 years later, describes their feelings during and after their stay in the Andes. In my opinion, both books complement each other.
