En 1972 partió de Montevideo, con destino a Santiago de Chile, un avión Fairchild Hiller FH-227 de las fuerzas aéreas uruguayas en el que viajaba el equipo de rugby Old Christians y sus acompañantes. Sin embargo, les aguardaba un destino muy distinto del que habían proyectado. Las infernales condiciones climatológicas determinaron la catástrofe y el aparato se estrelló en los Andes. Solo dieciséis de los cuarenta y cinco pasajeros que viajaban en el avión sobrevivieron al accidente y a los casi tres meses de indescriptibles rigores que sufrieron a consecuencia del hambre, el frío y el dolor. Sin otras provisiones, se vieron obligados a enfrentarse al horror de alimentarse con la carne de sus compañeros muertos, en un acto desesperado por conservar la vida.
Describes the ordeal of the survivors of an airplane crash in 1972 in the Andes wilderness in which over half of the forty-five passengers died, discussing the challenges the men faced during their ten weeks in the shelter of the plane's fuselage without supplies and with little hope of rescue.
