  • Worms eat bodies. Birds eat worms. Birds eat seeds. Seeds plant grass. Cows eat grass. Humans eat cows.

    In their situation, I would have done the same.

  • @Zanazuah no Im not doing that. Im not reading up on self righteous hatemongers like you. It's a waste of my time, just like you're a waste of skin. I'll just remain brainwashed, oh here I GO......MUST.....HAVE....A....­..HEART...... :)

  • @bmillerdrums I never said otherwise, I just never mentioned it. All I said was that he died near the very end. Please dont make the mistake of misreading OR putting words in my mouth like some other person is trying to do.

  • @Zanazuah Yeah im very IMPRESSED WITH YOUR name calling. You reallyyyyy showed me. If im talking out of my ass, enjoy the smell cuz Im just repeating what Nando Parrado said in past interviews but im sure a dedicated historian and religious expert such as yourself would know that. His story is not ONLY about survival and instinct, it is also about BELIEF AND HOPE. Just because you're a raging atheist, doesnt mean anybody else has to be or that you have to rewrite history with your mouth.

  • @Zanazuah AMEN 

  • @Zanazuah I said BELIEFS, NOT religion. 2 different things. While that may be true in your case, these men were kept alive by the hope and their will AND THEIR FAITH, meaning they did not lose their faith in God. Im definitely not part of any religion, and I dont go to any congregation of the sort. But at least im human enough to respect OTHER PEOPLE'S beliefs, no matter what they are. Also, tell that to the 33 chilean miners who were stuck in a mine for a month, they prayed EVERY NIGHT.

  • Actually a lot of them DID DIE because they didnt want to eat the dead. They did choose their beliefs over their survival. It wasnt JUST carcass for these people to eat, they were emotionally attached to them!! Even NANDO who suggested them to eat the dead, was reluctant to have his sister's dead body eaten. The character of Rafael (based on another survivor) DIED right at the end just a few days before their rescue because he endured the starvation up until then.

  • @shad0wMata You re partly right in your statement but Rafael who was Numa Turcatti also went on many expeditions and really it was a combo of giving too much when going outside the plane and refusing to eat flesh. The first time they climbed the mountain and spent the night exposed to the elements they came back destroyed. Numa especially... See Nando never went out on expeditions when the weather was super harsh plus he eat alot and stayed positive. Poor numa just became defeated..

  • )ewww. Smh!!

  • We're just monkeys a little too smart, which is why we REASON about eating our dead buddies, but animals do it in the wild.

    No hay problemas.

    Sometimes, maybe even often, it does not pay to be 'intelligent' LOL

  • I bet one of those men gladly volunteered to eat the pilots' testicles.

  • I'll never eat in a Nando's again.

  • u kno they just can drink pee cuz if i waz in that problom i would :-)

  • Of course wat choice do u have ?? Our butt is firm :))

  • It's the only Meat They have. what Else can you do.

  • 8:42

    "ahahaha"

    "shut up!"

    "sorry"

    i love carlitos :)

  • The arguments of eating flesh on that situation is totally mind blowing and disturbing.

  • I'd never eat a human; too many E's.

  • well.....you wouldn't want the dead bodies to have died in vain :( I don't know what I would have done.

  • Nandos the man!

  • Apparently people who revert to cannibalism have gone through almost every other alternative, eating dead human meat is the last resort. I've heard of people being trapped who had to drink their own urine to survive and it worked. I feel so sorry for them to have even had to go that far to live.

  • I'd eat a human :D No problem. I wouldn't only kill a human to eat him/her.

  • Magestic piece like Antonio's reaction at 7:47 when realized the answer to "EAT WHAT?"

  • we can never judge them... it's easy to say that will never do what they did...but what if you're really the one who's going to decide... will you or will you not...

  • I'd eat the liver with fava beans...

  • Everyone thinks that they don't know how they would act in this situation but that's only because they are engrossed with the psychology of teenages, as portrayed in the movie but I tell you 100% I'd rather die with my humanity than make a beast of myself. Yeah I'd be dead, but I've got a better life coming after this one.

  • id try to eat the human jk i woldn't dare

  • id go after the liver

  • i wouldnt of though twice about eating somebody in that sichuation or here at home with me guitar

  • a dead body is nice with barbeque sauce

  • Comment removed

  • Animals will eat dead carcasses of their own kind in order to survive, no reason why humans shouldn't do the same.

  • @HuggiMa Shouldn't do the same in emergencies such as these. One of the main differencesbetween humans and animals is that we are a lot more civilised (or at least, most of us are).

  • @ADEMruinedmylife909 Actually, i think animals are a lot more civilized than humans! At least they don't ruin the environment with their waste products the way we do.

  • @HuggiMa I only meant that humans shouldn't eat each other for the hell of it! But I do agree with your comments about destrying the environment :P

  • @ADEMruinedmylife909 Definitely not for the hell of it, just if we're in dire situations like these people in the Andes were, eating a dead human can be a lifesaving experience. The irony... ;)

  • i decided if i ever go on some flight over the andes... im taking a case of A1 steak sauce with me. that stuff makes anything/anyone taste good :D

  • this guys weren't scared of death they were just suffering from extreme condition and hunger. so if u can't kill ur self and u r suffering u pray to God cos u need comfort and assurance in ur vulnerable moment. so as long as we all gonna die 1 day and no one knows if any one is responding to our prayers .

  • heres a little theory it was nandos idea to eat the dead bodies and after he tried it he thought it tastes like chicken like ppl say so when they got out he made a resturant called nandos and told everyone it was chicken but he was serving human meat and nobody could teel the difference and thats why nados chicken tastes like the best chicken coz its human meat

  • DID THEY EAT THE DICKS TOO?? :O

  • I want to read the book really bad now

  • its kinda funny that when people are fine and feeling happy,luxourous whit theyr whealt money and shit and they say fuck god and existence of religions but when they are in despair and trouble they always lean for it. but if you are a so called ``believer`` you dont fear for death.like a wise man said:if you dont fear death you dont fear to LIVE

  • if you read the book you could see that it was much more grotesque than any of the stuff in the movie

  • @bobcatbro1 wow, really? i don't know if i want to read it then. i saw this movie as a child. i don't know WHY my father would take me to the theater to watch this. cuz i'm pretty sure he's the only one who would have taken me to see it. but it has stuck with me my whole life. and this is the first time i've seen it since childhood

  • @bobcatbro1 yep brains and stuff ehhh....

  • I wouldn't pause for a second. It's just meat.

  • i would eat the dead if I was in their situation. I wouldn't want to die. Not one victim died peaceably. I would rather eat to survive and if I get rescued, die an old age warm in my bed.

  • i would choose cannibalism over death

  • eat the dead....??? me: hell yeah bout time im hungry like a mothafucka

  • @ferniefern82495

    Shut up.

  • @KramNodd no.

  • Its people....peeeeeeeeopppleeeeee­e!

  • People keep commenting about what they would and wouldn't do in this situation and to be honest you cant decide what you wouldn't and would do because you have no idea how your mind would re act to this situation.

  • @Sam69ftw agreed,... you might have an idea of what you would do... I would hope I would have the courage to do it but until faced with the actual circumstance, I cannot know for sure... just like how nowadays we say that if we had lived through the civil rights era, we whites would have treated black people with respect and stood up for them....but... in those days, it was considered normal to think white people were better. it's certainly not normal anymore, nor accepted...like homophobia.

  • zzzz

  • wasn't it marcelo, that was basically the leader? not antonio...?..

  • i would eat ethan hawkes sister in the movie hmmm :D

  • lol@ the person or ppl that say they would never eat another human..shit if it was'nt illegal i'd have done it already.

  • they were strong and take the right choices for their own survival. Sad thing is none of the women make it...

  • @111esmeralda Aww :( Does suzanna die :(

  • @MelissaLauraQuinny I read the book. It has more details and the conflicts between the survivors are stronger than in the movie

  • @111esmeralda Ohhh ;]

  • i have no problem with eating somebody as long as the meat is cooked, and if it isnt it would pointless ill prob throw it up...but i mean if i had to, the brain would be the easier thing to sallow. ewwww

  • @nikkidanielle1969 Nobody can't stop you from choosing a stupid way to die.

  • @Massimo1GK is there a stupid way to be born too?

  • @Massimo1GK i agree in my civics class my teacher said that all of them die but i dont think soooooo:-(

  • @nikkidanielle1969 they had no other choise:S they havent eaten for days!

  • @nikkidanielle1969 never say never, you've never been in such an extreme situation and when your survival instinct kicks in you no longer have control on what you do, this instinct takes over you and controls your actions and desicions in order to survive, it's like a reflex

  • @javierhejtmanek hehe you said never

    i apologize for my immaturety. you should meet my family...

  • @nikkidanielle1969 I would eat if somebody cut it for me XD

    On side note, what about em burger you eating?

  • @nikkidanielle1969 the human brain will tell us alot of stuff to do to make us survive.

    Unthinkable things

  • @nikkidanielle1969

    Until the hunger gets too much and survival instinct kicks in.

    Of course you'd fucking eat one.

  • @nikkidanielle1969 humans are a delicacy, i chop off my arm everyday and cook it with some sauce (it grows back) reallll tasty..... lol jking

  • @xbox7888iscool LMFAO!!.

  • @nikkidanielle1969 I'd eat another person, I'd do what I had to do to survive

  • @nikkidanielle1969 ...l' istinto di soppravivenza è più forte della tua volontà

  • @nikkidanielle1969 Those guys might very well have said the same thing before they encountered their life-or-death situation.

  • @nikkidanielle1969 It's not too late

  • @nikkidanielle1969 While I sure know I would!!

  • @nikkidanielle1969 you can say that because right now you're stomach is feasting with foods and lots of foods 3-5x a day. 

  • I dont think God tests us.Would be more correct to say we test ourselves.God is us and we are God. God gets to know itself through creation and we get to know ourselves as God. And now, let the feast begin!

  • @Tempe1962 God gives us faith to endure the trials in our life. He never promised us an easy road, but our reward is in Heaven. All he asks is that we accept his son Jesus Christ as our personal savior.

  • @nikkidanielle1969 Preach to someone esle please.

  • in all honesty, i'd be less inclined to eat like a roach or a spider then lets say the forearm of some dude... especially if the said dude was responsible for getting me in such a fucked up scenario to begin with by crashing my gawddamn plane. just saying....

  • and i ate his liver with some favre beans

  • What the fuck is wrong from eating a human.. ? It's fucking meat...

  • @ElixiricEssence I'm a vegan so I won't eat any meat, but I don't think of eating a human as eating meat. It's gross. I know they did what they had to to get out of there, but I could never do it. I find is so repulsive.

  • @nikkidanielle1969 you never know what you will do in order to survive. They did what they had to do. The catholic church said they did the right thing. I respect that you are a vegan, but you shouldn't judge without having been in their shoes.

  • @nikkidanielle1969 Im not being funny, but i would eat it. I mean, im sure if I would of died, and somehow was able to talk to them, i would be saying "eat me, you must survive" because why should they die when they can do something roo stop it.

  • @nikkidanielle1969 yeah.. but its either life or death.. anyways.. its not so bad exploring new cuisine while near death .. lol nah man i get you..

  • why just did the girl die? was she injured badly??

  • @MoveOverCasanova she died of internal bleeding

  • @DJSexLeopard And anyway, I confess I know little about wildlife in the Andes, but still, going by the internal logic of the film if nothing else, there just wasn't anything readily available as a food source due to where the plane landed. As can be seen, nothing but tons and tons of snow and rock for miles.

  • @DJSexLeopard Inventions (including weapons) are proof of how humans as a species adapt their environment to suit them rather than adapting to the environment. Humans of today, though, are not necessarily representative of humans hundreds or thousands of years ago. Ancient tribesmen for instance used to harsh lives are naturally hardier than humans used to closer knit societies with modern conveniences.

  • Man: We have to eat the dead.

    Me: Well if we're eating the dead, there's no way in hell I'm eating a penis!

  • Its a good film. My only thought is if they can light cigarettes they could make a fire, even if it means burning the dead!

  • In that situation you would eat human flesh. The though of seeing love ones and being alive would give you a big incentive.

  • why is it ok to eat animal meat, but not human meat?

  • Better to eat that rather then McDonalds, just saying.

  • i would just take the gun the pilot has and just kill my self

  • you know by you saying that you are disrespecting the 16 survivers that are still alive

    that just shows how strong you are

  • @lilshorty14wow it's just my opinion I'm not disrespecting them at all ?

  • @elgransenor1 Are u serious how fucked up are u ??

  • If only there were the the Thunderbirds and International Rescue...

  • @Mrgyn

    That would imply that there is a benefit to being Canadian..

  • they should all take turns fucking the girl.....that would have made it more tolerable

  • awww this is soo sadd no one should have to live like that we complain durning winter imagine this kind of weather....for 72 days!!!! thats crazyy,god bless all of them<33

  • 6:07 Gayest Fight Ever!

  • Why, why why arent they making a fire...ugh...man this is just sucks...and start eating those pilots, you need all the nutrition available..jeez.

  • Carlitos and Federico are my favorite!!!

  • What the fuck is up with that Canadian?

    v

    I didnt know they didnt take naps. In fact, i forgot about them.

  • I'd prefer eating people over the candy.

  • I wish this movie would had Uruguayan actors. it would have made it more realistic. Well at least for me because I am Uruguayan...

  • "we're going to have to go back"

    typical south american nap takers quitting on the job to go take a nap

    Canadians don't take naps.

  • @aallppiinnee For Christ's sake, it was survival. It wasn't a dick measuring contest between nations. You're a big bad Canadian sitting there in the comfort of your bedroom posting like a bad ass about now 50 year old men who survived without the comfort of the internet and youtube.

  • That must have been so hard for Nando yet he was the strongest even after his mother died ,and his sister died in his arms...what a spirit!

  • @elifbathaje Hey Im muslim too and i agree with ThePlannedEscape that religion or any other beliefs have nothing to do with what those people in the Andes mountain went through, if you are in a situation like that bad and you are in an extreme hunger your human nature to survive will control you not your religion, so please stop bullshitting and enough giving wrong messages about islam!

  • @elifbathaje then you overestimate the love for your religion my friend, being Muslim does not make you any less human and unless you had tools to end your life like certain Muslims may do... for the greater good of Alla so to speak. Should you ever find yourself that hungry  i would guarantee you would would not find snow sufficient for it is only water and you would still feel the tremendous hunger pains that would cause the rest of your body to suffer.

  • We have an outer core, a more civilized part, & an inner core, a primitive being. I wouldn't wish anything like this upon my worst enemy, but it happens, apparently (& unfortunately), and what is one to do? These guys were still clinging to their outer core when the cannibalism idea was first pitched: I can't eat my friends/teammates. And the outer shell sheds when they break it into a different perspective: I'm hungry. They're dead. Souls are in Heaven. Bodies are food. Meat. Let's do it...

  • I would drink my urine.

  • i will eat vagina,because i like it already. VAGINA, THE OTHER WHITE MEAT !

  • Vagina is red meat man but I agree vagina for me too.

  • if they can lit smokes why can't they make a fire? :S

  • wot will thy burn ??? their clothes ?!

  • Yeah! Great shoes!

  • man this is a great movie, good dialogs good acting.

  • the only time cannabalism is okay is if you are starving like these guys were either then that its wrong

  • Cannibalism isn't that big of a deal if you're eating someone who died of natural causes and you need to do it to survive. It's just a body.

  • its still a big deal! do u eat dead guys when ur starving?

  • as the guy said in the very beginning, you don't know how you will act when you are in the situation. When in a life or death situation, we are motivated to do things that we normally wouldn't.

  • i would make a sled out of the metal, crews down the mountain, and find a bear or rabbit or something and kill it. also i would make a FIRE...TO KEEP WARM??

  • @m2boy It's the Andes Mountains. Not the Rockies. No plants or animals for miles around the crash site. And what would you kill this hypothetical bear or rabbit with? Admittedly there was mention of a gun, but still, it's pretty boastful and arrogant to just say you'd go out and shoot something, especially when you'd have a hard time finding anything to shoot.

  • I would have fried up some ass cheeks ..

  • hahaha, everyones talking about what part of the body they'd eat. Well done chaps

  • myself i rather die than eat the dead. i dont blame those who wouldnèt eather

  • @SuperOilers1 ya same here dat just wrong

  • when survival is on the line, you put your prejudices behind you or your ass is dead.

  • I have no problem with cannibalism, you do what you do to survive.

  • i would never eat a human..........without barbieque sause

  • Or at least a little butter, salt and pepper... eh? LOL

    Right on man.

    Dean

  • @cuntmonkey007

    ahahah

    you found this hilarious???

    you don't know what starvetion is

  • True, I don't know what starvation is... but I Do know comedy when I see it or hear it and meat is meat my friend. I have no qualms with cannibalism. As long as it is consensual.

    Have a nice day!

    Dean

  • @silentpands3 lol I am vegetarian

  • @silentpands3 eww u wont even grill it u r nasty u just going 2 eat a human with out cooking hem or she u r nasty cook them frist

  • @silentpands3 XD FUCKING SO FUNNY LOL!!!!

  • @silentpands3

    Don't forget the gravy.

  • im getting hungry, im eating my dinner while watching this

  • Why not heat one of the metal seat plates and cook the meat, that way it's easier to digest. Just a thought. And stop smoking, it'll kill you

  • Smoking at that altitude, yes, it's a bad idea, they can't breathe and get as much oxygen with such thin air. If you cook the meat, you lose a lot of the essentials nutrients. By drying it they were able to get more energy from it, even if it was hard to eat. Also, they had a very limited fuel supply. Once they cooked about three full meals, they'd have nothing left to burn anyways. Better save the fuel for more important times.

  • Thanks for this info, I'm curious... how do you know so much? The smoking thing is crazy in my book, the raw meat............ I'm afraid if I'm eating ass it's got to be cooked to kill the taste, although I never took into consideration the nutrients.... what are they in human 'beef'?

  • Human flesh is like all animal flesh in that it contains ALL essential nutrients provided that it is eaten raw. Since the living body contained all necessary nutrients for human to live the dead body does also. There are several essential nutrients, like omega-3 fats and vitamin B-12, that can only be naturally obtained by eating meat. Human flesh does not taste (apparently) unlike other raw meats such as pork and beef. You would probably not notice the taste in a starving situation like that.

  • I've done a report on the subject and I am also a survival instructor at a guiding/wilderness outfitter source. I've also had to spend a week (not much compared to these guys) alone in a freezing shelter with a limited supply of raw rabbit meat. It's not bad when dried. (I'm not trying to sound macho, just getting my point across)

  • Mate, I'm genuinely interested in the art of survival, and given the unfortunate experience like these guys, I'd do it, if it was a surviving necessity. I'm interested in many ways and have a great love for the outdoors, but that was where my survival instinct stopped! I'm keen to learn more, where can I do a survival course??

  • I also have a question for you, Idk what I would do so im not gonna say. But why did they choose the butt of the people to eat? any reason? it looked all nasty and bloodly, Im not a eater of steak and on the rare ocasion i do, i like it chared black.just looking at bloodly steak makes me gag. i know that isn't a time to be choosy im just sayin. i think they did what they had to. but im still sick to my tummy over it.

  • cuz the butt most of its porcent is muscle and fat no veins or organs there just pure meat

  • just seemed nasstier lol. i'd choose the leg if i HAD to.

  • the leg has a lot of muscle so i´ll choose that too.

  • they said "poor comment" lol to mine

  • @JoseJaviToledoPaniag om nom nom

  • Raphiel was on Fame

  • hahadats gross. i would eat a human though phuck it i would rather eat than starve

  • huh ?

  • Dionysius, god of wine, you are drunk again. Go back to bed.
