Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We were flying over the Andes on the thirteenth of October, the date of our game against the Chilean team. The original itinerary was to fly nonstop to Santiago, but reports of bad weather in the mountains ahead forced the plane to land in the old Spanish colonial town of Mendoza. #2 We were to meet at the airport at 1 p. m. sharp, but we arrived only to discover that the pilots had not yet decided whether or not we would fly. The weather reports warned of some turbulence, but the pilots were confident the Fairchild could fly safely above the weather. #3 The plane was headed to Santiago, which is west of Mendoza. The region of the Andes that separates the two cities is one of the highest sections of the entire chain, and home to some of the tallest mountains in the world. #4 The pilots had charted a course that would take us about one hundred miles south of Mendoza to Planchón Pass, a narrow corridor through the mountains with ridges low enough for the plane to clear. We would fly south along the eastern foothills of the Andes with the mountains always on our right, until we reached the pass.
Miracle In The Andes
The true story of the 1972 Andes plane crash and rescue dramatised in Netflix's Society of the Snow In October 1972, Nando Parrado and his rugby club teammates were on a flight from Uruguay to Chile when their plane crashed into a mountain. Miraculously, many of the passengers survived but Nando's mother and sister died and he was unconscious for three days. Stranded more than 11,000 feet up in the wilderness of the Andes, the survivors soon heard that the search for them had been called off - and realise the only food for miles around was the bodies of their dead friends ... In a last desperate bid for safety, Nando and a teammate set off in search of help. They climbed 17,000-foot-high mountains, facing death at every step, but inspired by his love for his family Nando drove them on until, finally, 72 days after the crash, they found rescue.
Alive
'Alive' tells the true story of a group of plane crash survivors. Weakened by starvation, extreme cold, and by the awful knowledge that the search for them had been called off, the survivors had to eat the flesh of their dead companions to survive.
