On 13 October, 1972, a plane carrying a group of
Uruguayan rugby players and their families and friends
crashed in the Andes Mountains en route to Chile, where
the team was due to play a friendly match. Of the 45
people on the plane, only 27 survived the plane crash.
On the freezing mountain, they faced tough conditions,
having only small amounts of food and drink. Nine of the
survivors died of their injuries and from exposure to the
cold. Those remaining took the difficult decision to
consume their dead friends, a clear case of survival
cannibalism. Some refused at first, but gave in a few
days later out of desperation. About two months after the
crash, three of the strongest survivors left the site in order
to find help; and they succeeded in doing so. In all, 16 of
the group survived. When they arrived at a hospital in
Santiago, they were reluctant at first to speak of the
cannibalism incident, claiming they had survived by
eating cheese they had been carrying.
