Alive in the Andes

A Fairchild FH-227 carrying five crew and forty passengers, many of them rugby players from Stella Maris College's "Old Christians" team, hits the side of a mountain (later named as Cerro Seler) in the Andes Mountains. Twelve of the occupants die instantly; more die as the survivors wait to be rescued. The sixteen remaining survivors are rescued more than two months after the crash.
