Support our Sponsors: SimpliSafe: https://simplisafe.com/milehigher Throughout history, there have been miraculous tales of survival in the harshest environments. However, none may be more intense than that of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, which crashed on Friday, October 13th, 1972. For 72 days, the survivors of the crash survived in -30 degree weather using scavenged pieces of luggage, improvised sunglasses, and sleeping bags made from the airplane wreckage, and, most famously, ate the bodies of the dead to avoid starvation. While their story of survival has become famous for the cannibalism involved, it is also a story of how much a person can overcome even the steepest of obstacles to survive.
