Welcome to When It Goes Wrong, the podcast about disasters, accidents and when things fall apart. On this episode I discuss the 1972 Andes Plane Crash. Where a plane came down following navigational errors, but most of the passengers survived. What would follow would be a true test of human survival, living out of the plane fuselage for weeks, and eventually eating their deceased friends. What would you do to stay alive?
