In 1972, a plane carrying 45 people crashed into the Andes, leaving the survivors with no choice but to resort to cannibalism. This is their incredible story of survival against all odds.
Imagine being stranded in the freezing cold, with no food or hope of rescue. That's exactly what happened to the 16 survivors of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571. They were on their way to Santiago, Chile, when tragedy struck.
