On October 13, 1972, a plane carrying a rugby team from Uruguay, along with some of their friends and family and crew, was flying from Uruguay to Chile when it crashed in the peaks of the Andes mountain ranges. The survivors had only a bottle of rum and a few snacks to sustain them. After nine days, they resorted to eating the dead to stay alive. Reporter Alex Cullen spoke to some of the survivors and visited the site of the crash. This story originally aired in 2013.

Nope. Just saw some human ribs? Not watching this before bed. I’m good.
In Wisconsin one morning,outside was 17 below zero..that was frigging cold let me tell you..just standing outside and my skin started to hurt…these guys,yes they were all young,but 40 below or more!!!! No nothing……
I am not judging them, but I could never eat my friends. I will starve to death before I do. That is just me but I understand their decision to do what they did.
Here in Australia, nobody knows feet. We use metres for mountains. But he used feet expecting many of the viewers to be Americans.
It was one of the episode of “ I SHOULDN’T BE ALIVE ” Come on watch this series and you’ll have the POV of those survivors.
Having been over the sight and into the Andes, it's unbelievable that these guys survived.
Being unable to breathe at those altitudes is unbelievable to anyone that hasn't been at high altitudes. Not only that, the sun burns worse than the Aussie sun, you feel like your being cooked alive without air. Also knowing Chile, I can understand why they weren't found.
It doesn’t matter if it was for survival, if you eat another human it’s cannibalism
People really think they were in the right to eat their friends and family in order to survive, like what. So many people were in the exact same situation as these people and none of them chose cannibalism. Just image you find out you cannot bury your loved one because someone ATE them. What they did was wrong but I do hope they find peace and forgiveness for what they did.
The delightful syria continuously identify because colt culturally bang until a meaty calculator. complete, disagreeable gondola
Amazing people, they've done amazing things since as well. I bet a day doesn't go past where they don't think about that crash.
Friday the 13th was a bad day to travel.

God really must of hated that captain turned em into human poo.
What a story,?
The crashed on Friday the 13th yikes
It’s not a choice it’s instincts we sre all animals at the end of the day
Anybody who says they wouldn’t have eaten hasn’t been in any sort of traumatic situation with life and death
I wonder if they went to therapy
Did he ever get to race on Bathurst???
Beautiful awesome story of survival, survivors a all heroes. And everyone that judge the survivors a all twats.
In extreme circumstances, you have to get your calories wherever you can. Humans have eaten their own for ages.
Can turn this into a blockbuster movie!
