Movies TRUE- Rugby Team That Crashed into Mountains-After 72 Days Only 16 Survived

Society of the Snow - TRUE Story NETFLIX

In 1972, a Uruguayan Flight Crashes in The Remote Heart of The Andes, Forcing Survivors to Become Each Other's Best Hope.

The survivors reunite each year on December 22, the day the rescue mission began, to commemorate what happened.

A notorious real-life 1972 plane crash in the Andes is the inspiration behind the new Netflix adventure drama "Society of the Snow."


The disaster happened on Oct. 13, 1972, when Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, which was carrying an Uruguayan rugby team from Montevideo, Uruguay, to Santiago, Chile, crashed into the Andes mountains, tearing off the plane's wings and tail.

Twenty-nine of the plane's 45 passengers died, but not right away: 33 survived the initial crash. Of that set, only 16 endured the area's harrowing freezing temperatures, injuries and an avalanche.

The survivors were eventually forced to eat the flesh of the dead among them to stay alive over the 72 agonizing days before a rescue team reached them them.





Dr. Roberto Canessa said the crash taught him "about how to avert difficulties in life and to have faith in yourself."

Each of the 16 survivors contributed first-person accounts to Pablo Vierci's book "Society of the Snow," which inspired the movie.
