i am uruguayan, 25 years old, i live in montevideo. This story inspires us every day. I get surprised every day whnen i read this kind of comments from people all over the world. Its amaezing. That idea tha we got a super power. We need to believe that. In fact thats the key, in any matter, believe it. Every person, every country, got the potential to do whateaver in order to reach objetives. These survivers were just common teenagers. Regards from uruguay!!
This man was once a nineteen year old boy who walked more than 40 miles, up and over 15,000 foot snow covered mountains, in summer clothes for ten days - after 2 months trapped on a mountain, having been through a crash, a head injury, the death of his mother and sister and friends, an avalanche and having to make unbearable decisions. It was a feat of monumental proportions, bravery and strength. Nando Parrado is my all time hero.
I read the book Miracle In the Andes around 3 months ago and found it to be very motivating and valuable. Nando's detailed account effectively places the reader right in the center of the experience. One cannot read it without coming away with something more than what they had before.
They talk all that time about Parrado....and then proceed to compare him to the likes of Bob Geldof (a f--ing record producer and a total douche), the guy who invented Twitter, and of all people, Gary Kasparov (a notoriously mentally ill anti-semite who's banned from entering the US due to his terrorist connections).
Nando Parrado is truly amazing. The human spirit is a force to be reckoned with. He was so determined on his mission to find help so that everyone could be rescued and he didn't let anyone or anything stand in his way. He is truly a hero.
@thecherylmay ur so right he's one of my all time heroes an amazing man along with the 15 other survivors. But, we should never forget the 29 people who didn't return.
This man is so likeable and a great role model

Surely you've got to be kidding me.
They talk all that time about Parrado....and then proceed to compare him to the likes of Bob Geldof (a f--ing record producer and a total douche), the guy who invented Twitter, and of all people, Gary Kasparov (a notoriously mentally ill anti-semite who's banned from entering the US due to his terrorist connections).
Ya, good call Star. Totally a fair comparison.
