| Plot Summary of The Miracle In The Andes : 72 Days on the Mountain And My Long Trek Home |
|---|
"In October 1972, a plane carrying an Uruguayan rugby team crashed in the Andes. Not immediately rescued, then who survived turned into cannibalism to survive. The rugby team member Parrado has a beautiful story of friendship, tragedy and perseverance. High in the Andes, with a fractured skull, eating his teammates and friends, Parrado calmly munched on his buddies. With the struggling to stay alive he was a survivor with freezing weathers and dangerous avalanches. "
