We all know the story of Alive!, the true life adventure of a Uruguayan rugby team that was stranded in the Andes for 72 days following a plane crash. Well now, nearly 35 years later, more insight into the incident is coming to light. First, you have this story over at National Geographic Adventure, which features interviews with suvivors, interactive 3D maps, photos, and more. Now, we have a second article from Outside Magazine that offers a preview of their upcoming April Issue cover story, in which they talk to Nando Parrado, a survivor of the crash, and author of the book Miracle in the Andes.
This is one of the most impressive and mind boggling survival stories of all time. It's amazing that any of these men survived, and even more so when you think of everything they had to go through. Oh! And the movie ain't bad either.
