Mystery plane crashes in the past

Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, 1972 also known as the Miracle of the Andes, the Uruguayan Air Force flight, carrying 45 people — including the national rugby team of Uruguay — crashed in the Andes on Oct. 13, 1972. Only 27 people survived the crash, of whom eight were later killed by an avalanche. But the search and rescue teams looking for wreckage of the plane did not know about the remaining 16 survivors for 72 days. Those who were alive survived in the cold by eating flesh from the bodies of the dead passengers.
