Description

Scene in the drawing:

October 13, 1972
Flight 571 from 'Montevideo' (Uruguay) to 'Santiago de Chile' (Chile)
45 passengers from Uruguay (players and members of the rugby union team 'Old Christian's Club')
On board there is a good and relaxed atmosphere

Inside the machine:

Player1	'What is our altitude?'
Trainer	'I think a few thousand meters - We probably must go higher to pass the mountains'
<Badoommm>
Player2	'Wow - quite nice rumble'
Player3	'Yes, these are air holes - there you can hit your head – well, for Mr.Fatty here it doesn’t matter - ooooooh no, wait, wait, I didn’t say anything – wasn’t me - Haha, oh dear, help, he wants to bite me - take this animal away from me, hahaha'
Player4	'Yes, I long for human flesh – it looks quite tasty from here - Come give me that leg, you don’t need it anymore, you lazy baby!'
<Badoommm>
Player2	'Uaaaaaah, these are very string turbulences - what a cheap plane is this...'

The result:

2 hours later: crash on a mountainside in the Andes (pilot error)
After 8 days, the survivors hear on the radio, that the search is canceled
No food -> How to survive in a plane wreck when you are on an icecold mountainside?
They eat the dead...
After 62 days, 16 men are rescued (just two dead bodies are untouched - according to the survivors, no people were killed)
