72 Days Of Survival: The Andes Plane Crash
Manage episode 507777599 series 2923863
In October 1972, a plane carrying a Uruguayan rugby team, along with their friends and family, crashed into the remote Andes mountains. What followed became one of the most remarkable and haunting survival stories in modern history.
For 72 days, the survivors faced freezing conditions, avalanches, hunger, and despair. Cut off from the world and with no rescue in sight, they were forced to make unimaginable choices in order to stay alive. Against all odds, a handful of them managed to endure and eventually trek across the mountains to find help, ensuring the survival of the remaining passengers.
In this episode, we explore the crash itself, the brutal conditions in the mountains, the resilience of the survivors, and the legacy this story has left behind. It is a tale of tragedy, courage, and the extremes of human endurance.
