You have planned a great holiday with your family or closest friends. You’ve prepared everything. You got on the plane and are having exciting conversations about what you will do at your destination. Suddenly turbulence started, but since it was a routine thing, you weren’t too worried. Until… Plane among the mountains until you are thrown here and there.

This frightening scenario happened while the rugby players were on their way to the match in Chile. There were 45 people on the plane and not all of them were team players. some of them family members or supporters There was. When the accident happened, there were neither plants nor animals around them. They were left alone in the middle of nowhere, among the Andes Mountains. Things had gotten to such a scary level that they turned into cannibals!

Unaware of what would happen to them, the players looked for the cheapest way to fly.

On October 12, 1972, flying from Uruguay to Chile by passenger plane was expensive, so they looked for the cheapest option. The solution is a It was an air force plane!

Moreover, this aircraft has a high weight and because of their weak engines It was called “sled”. But no one knew about it. All they knew was that they had found the cheapest flight to play their rugby match in Santiago.

The first part of the journey was cut short by a storm over the Andes and they had to stop in Argentina. After the break, they continued their flight happily, unaware of everything. Then one of the players said that the plane It’s very close to the mountains He said and the passengers slowly started to panic.

The pilots had made a terrible mistake.

The pilots told air traffic controls that they would reach the airport within a minute, but Can’t see clearly because of the clouds They were wrong about the duration. They could reach it in 11 minutes, not 1.

When they descended, they were in the middle of the mountains. The wind was terrible, the turbulence was increasing. While the plane was swinging left and right, the clouds had parted and the pilots They saw something black in front of them. They were going towards the mountains.

The rear of the plane hit a mountain and broke off. In the next collision, they lost their wings and part of the fuselage. in the middle of the sky freezing cold They were exposed.

Only the front part of the plane remained. After the “BOOM!”; The rest fell into a snow-covered mountain. 12 people had lost their lives, and some of the bodies, whose seats had been ripped off, were piled up towards the pilot cabin. Those who survived, as if by a miracle, were screaming and moaning.

Since they were in a place surrounded by glaciers, the region they were in did not even have a name.

The chances of them being found in this area where they crashed were almost zero. The weather was freezing cold and due to the altitude They were having difficulty breathing.

First night, -30 degrees, They tried to take shelter inside by covering the holes in the remaining fuselage of the plane with suitcases. That night, 5 more people lost their lives, bringing the total number of people killed in the accident to 17.

The captain pilot was dead, but the co-pilot was found alive under the wreckage. He had a gun with him and from the passengers, by shooting himself with that gun He wanted them to end his suffering. Even though the passengers did not agree to do this, the co-pilot died in a short time.

There were neither plants nor animals around them.

They started looking for food from the suitcases, but there were only 8 chocolates, 3 jars of jam, a box of almonds, some sugar and a few bottles. They melted the snow and put it in empty wine bottles and used it as water. Each day, The death toll was increasing.

They found a transistor radio in the wreckage, but what they heard would turn their psychology upside down. from the radio, They learned that they had stopped looking for them. They felt completely helpless now.

Torn from pieces of luggage leather strips They even tried to eat it. One of them, He came up with the idea of ​​eating the dead passengers and pilots. Unfortunately, they had no other choice. They would either eat their friends or die themselves.

The 27 survivors started cannibalism by eating the pilot.

They ate everything that had meat, including internal organs. Just when they thought they had solved the food problem, another disaster occurred. An avalanche hit the area. All the holes of the plane were blocked with snow. In this incident, 8 more people lost their lives.

The rest had made makeshift snowshoes, beanies and coats with items they found in their suitcases. Thanks to them, they expanded their walking distance a little more and the plane to the back body they reached. Here they found some food and comics. They spent that night reading comics.

The next day, one of them came up with the idea of ​​going up the mountain and walking. They knew that Chile was to the west, and they were aware that they were not far from the landing strip when they crashed, thanks to the pilot’s announcement. But even the shortest path It was at least 60 kilometers, Of course they didn’t know this. All they knew was that they had no other choice.

Before the journey, they took with them a stock of human flesh.

On the 61st day of their departure, The number of survivors had dropped to 16. They were trying to survive with the protective clothing they made and human corpses, but as they walked, they encountered more mountains.

It was as if they were on a journey towards eternity. When they arrived on the 8th day, they found a river and greenery among the melting snow. More importantly, across the river a person there was!

However, they did not have enough strength to cross to the other side. That night they slept by the river and the next morning the same man they saw. The man tied a pen and paper to a rock and threw it towards them.

The castaways were written on paper. “We survived the plane crash. “We have no food, we can’t even walk anymore.” Wrote. The man across the river immediately went to call for help and that’s how they were saved.

Then, teams went to examine the area.

The teams were shocked when they came across human corpses with their bones removed, but if the survivors had not eaten that meat, they would have died there too. This information leaked to the media shows that the victims “wild cannibals” It caused them to be labeled as and received a great reaction. As a result, all 16 people were alive.

Some of those who managed to survive after the accident:

“I ate my friends to survive after the accident.”
