Alive and Hungry......What would you have done.... ( Archived) (124)

Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, also known less formally as the Andes flight disaster, was an airline flight carrying 45 people that crashed in the Andes on October 13, 1972. The event was concluded by December 23, 1972, when the last of 16 survivors were rescued. More than a quarter of the passengers died in the crash and several survivors of the initial impact had died of cold and injuries by the next day.

The remaining survivors had very little food and no way to make heat in the harsh climate, over 10,000 feet altitude. Faced with starvation the survivors eventually fed on the dead passengers who were preserved in the snow. Rescue teams were not aware of the survivors until 72 days after the crash when Nando Parrado and Roberto Canessa, after a 12 day trek across the treacherous Andes mountains, found a Chilean huaso who guided them to safety where help was found for the other survivors still trapped at the crash site.

This story always fascinated me. What would you have done in this situation. Would you have fed on the Dead bodies to survive ?

I think I would have......

I would have done what they did!! Of course I would have only eaten the female bodies. I'm not gay and I do have some experience in eating female body parts!!

Breast or Leg...........

I thought it was a brilliant film and it handled the question very well..........

I am a vegan....would have had to search the luggage for candy etc...

I thought it was a great film, also

Choice...............Die or eat human flesh...........

I don't recall seeing the film. And I would not even try to guess at what I would've done. And I hope I never have to.
