The survivors of the well-known 1972 Andes plane crash recall what it took to live in the mountains for over 60 days with no food, water, or supplies. What they reveal is a story about one of humanity's greatest taboos and one that asks the question, what would you do?

@Tressiensia I agree with you,real cannibals eat human cuse of ritual,they cuse was hungry,and needed survive,Nando said,they gave them gift own bodies,it is normal to me

[TILLEYJS]

I don't understand why these men were even questioned about eating the dead. It's not like they had a buffet before them and refused. Instead, going for Carlos's legs and liver. This was not their first choice. It had been 6 day(I think) and no rescue. Go them. What a story!

Are you stupid, man?

[Dickerdu]

@elmurguista Yep and that's why we made it too the top of the food chain. The instinct t survive at all costs
