To Build a Fire


In 1972 a plane crash in Argentina left 14 survivors stranded for ten weeks!
The Chilean Air force found 14 survivors from a plane that had crashed in the Argentine Andes. The first news that anyone had survived came when two of the passengers reached civilization yesterday after a 10 day trek to get help. More information here.

Watch the clip from the movie Alive, which is based on the horrible incident, and consider what extremes you would go to in order to survive.
