The Andes Tragedy: 50 Years Later

On Friday the 13th of October 1972, a plane carrying a Uruguayan rugby team crashed in a remote area of the Argentinian Andes during the heart of the snowy season. A search was abandoned after only 10 days and all aboard were presumed dead. But of the 45 passengers and crew, 32 had survived the initial impact.
