Miracle Of The Andes: 72 Days of Horrific Survival

Miracle Of The Andes: 72 Days of Horrific Survival

A bad day can spiral fast. Were heading to 1972 and a chartered flight over the Andes that never made its landing. The crash of Flight 571 left a rugby team, family, and friends in brutal cold with little food, less shelter, and a strong will to survive. What follows is a stark, deeply human account of ingenuity and ethics under pressure.

We don’t sensationalize the hardest part. The group confronts cannibalism with consent, ritual, and faith, reframing a taboo as a last-resort act of respect to preserve life. An avalanche buries more hope. A radio announces the search is over. And then two men decide to walk over 40 miles to get help.
