Cannibalism. We're talking about that flight that ended in cannibalism: Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571. But how did this happen? What brought a group of young rugby players, their families, and their friends to resort to survival cannibalism in the remote, desolate Andes? No one thinks they'll ever be in a plane crash, but for these crash victims, they quickly found themselves in a living nightmare that lasted for 72 days. With no water, no food, and no equipment, these 33 survivors lived through a series of events that even the most imaginative movie studio could never come up with. The truth, in this case, is truly stranger than fiction.
Tune in this week as Caroline and Alex begin a multi-part series on the miraculous, gruesome, and morbidly inspiring story of the Andes Flight Disaster.
