This was my dad's very first movie, he worked special effects. They filmed it up on a glacier here in BC Canada and they didn't use CGI, just some green screen but most of what you see they actually did with practical effects in the middle of nowhere. Edit: unrelated, but my dad also built the sausage piano in Freddy got fingered lol, I am very happy it's not seen a huge resurgence in popularity as people realized the movie was basically just Tom Green trolling Hollywood, as my dad absolutely hated the fact that he worked on the movie at the time and cringes any time I bring it up 🤣
I went to Chile and Santiago some years ago and we flew over the Andes mountains, I got so scared as the pilot announced we were over those mountains and we had to descend in order to get over to Chile. Every time I fly I pray for to God to carry me. As I never want to be in this situation.
The plane crash seen in "The Grey" was pretty "lifelike" as well. I have always had a deep fear of flying, so my Dad said "The Grey is the BEST! You'll love it! Just don't watch any previews because it gives the movie away!" So like anyone I listened to him... BOY WAS I WRONG. That was in 2011, and I can safely say I haven't FULLY trusted him since. Some may say I'm overreacting, but when a person knows just how truly afraid you are of something, and makes it a point to make sure you "experience it" 1 week before I was to leave for Mexico.. Yea!
Zahra Haider You're right. To be honest, a plane disaster could occur on any part of the plane. My advice is to just pray that nothing happens on your flight.
The actor playing the pilot is Michael Sicoly. His brother and I worked in the same shopping mall in the early '90s, and we'd regularly visit each other's stores.
savage beast Are you American? If not, you probably wouldn't get it...the joke is on how HORRIBLE the food you receive on normal-class planes, is.And I gotta say, he's telling the truth.
+Subir Dhar no, the middle of the plane is safest, there is more structeral integrity in the middle due to the wings, there is also an emergency exit on wing seats
Jeez, while gliding in silence like that some of them probably thought they had already died. Saddest part is that after surviving _that_ crash so many of them died days later in the avalanche...
This scene is terrifying. Image what the real experience would have been... A plane without wings falling towards the jagged mountain peaks, people being blown out through a gaping hole in the rear. The screams... damn.
total true srory .,.,., the pilot trying to cross the andes mountain, make a right turn to the NORTH too soon, at the highest level, and start to flight OVER the top of the andes without visibility .. soon realize that has no clearance and crashed ... incredible story and incredible people ... movie is great too ,,,
@davegunning1443, 1:34 to 1:37 sounds like a woman on the verge of an orgasm. 1:41 to 1:43 what the hell is the guy on the left doing in his seat? He’s knocking on death’s door & it looks like he’s talking to himself while high.
Luke Daley Doubt it's true, it's probably as credible as the fake moon landing. I would think their would be no survivors after being stranded 79 days on a mountain. Doesn't seem logical. All the victims seem normal like they have never been in a plane crash.Just watch the History Channel documentary on the crash it's 100% B.S.
ItzSaviPlayz You know it's really pathetic you believe this story.I have see the interviews with the so called soccer team.None of them show any signs of being in a plane crash.I need more evedince.You just can't believe "Man has walked on the moon"!
Nando was one of the guys who ultimately made the long trek to get help. Just a remarkable story of the human spirit and what people are capable of in the face of doom.
This scene right here terrified the living crap outta me when i was little. It scared me so much that i was afraid of flying a long time cuz of this scene. I watch this scene and it still scares the crap outta me haha
+Julio Mateo true story, not long after watching this movie my mom and i got on a flight, they sat us in the VERY BACK ROW and guess who was in front of us? RUGBY PLAYERS. we were flipping out.
This was the first plane crash scene to show passengers sucked out of the plane. After this, every F---ING Hollywood movie with a damn plane crash scene showed the same thing, including the horrible CGI crash in Fight Club. This one is still the best.
The documentary said that this model of plane the Fairchild, was nicknamed a Dead Sled because it was so underpowered for it's weight and size. Shocking to think the safety record was so poor on the Fiarchild and these unsuspecting passengers were crossing the Andes in one!
I honestly think the FH 227 was often a victim of circumstance. It wasn't a flawed plane by design and the lead sled thing is overhyped. But regardless, this particular plane was perfectly fine. The only thing wrong with it was the flight crew. These guys weren't lightweights; both had impressive credentials. They were navigating via dead reckoning due to the low cloud cover. FAU 571 was almost 90 km off course based on the pilot's flawed arithmetic. To take into account heading, speed, fuel consumption, etc. but NOT the significant headwinds they were experiencing almost defies logic. Pure negligence on their part. They were descending for approach but didn't realize they were STILL in the mountains until they broke through the clouds. It was a textbook controlled flight into terrain.
Throughout the movie, Federico (despite developing gangrene in his leg) was very vigilant over Alberto, who had both of his legs broken in the crash. He was with him when he died, yet no one noticed that Federico himself had died until Nando returns from almost freezing to death in a blizzard & saving Roy (the whining guy) from said blizzard.
Amazing well done scene, best plance crash scene from hollywood? even more impressive its from 1993. It looks so real. I also love the engine sounds of the turboprop engines. I dont know how many times i seen this scene on my projector with surround sound-
I had to come back and look at this after the Colombia place crash that killed pretty much the entire soccer team today. One can only wonder if it happened so fast that they didn't have time to react or if they knew the severity of they situation. God bless them, the survivors, and the families affected.
+Rollercoaster lover Yep, that's the film. I find that film quite chilling. I feel I am on that flight and it's an actual terrorist attack (based on true events). It's a top movie that I find nerve wracking to watch.
The three most famous stories of survival from canniblism are 1. the story inspired from the novel Moby Dick, 2. the Donnor party snowbound in 1846-1847 in the sierra nevada mts, 3. south american rugby team and the miracle of the andes mts in 1972. All of them showed how powerful the human spirit is and what heroism is really all about.
It would be suicide not to eat the dead in a situation like this. If I knew I were going to die and my empty body would be used to save the life of my friends, I would die feeling an unequaled love for them. It would also be an honour to know my empty shell would save them so they may live on. On the opposite end of the situation, I would eat the empty shell of a dear departed friend to stay alive. I would not be consuming what and whom that friend was, only their vessel. I would know that if that friend loved me, they would want me to go on and love their surviving family for them. It would be my duty to my fallen friend to continue to live so I may love those my fallen friend was taken from.
+Amanda M But if they had waited for god they would have starved. Plus,I doubt very much that you've been in a situation where the two choices were cannibalism or death,so you don't know how you'd react,nobody does until they are in that situation.
you can feel the fear .. and it was all true too. Definitely the best air crash scene ever shown . The fuselage tobogganed down the side of the mountain at 200 mph . Can you imagine being in that thing .. waiting for the cliff ? I remember this crash way back in 1972..given up for dead then incredibly survivors made contact . I often wondered if a primitive SOS beacon could have been made out of spare parts .. .if you have the knowledge . Think they tried to get the radio going but didn't have the aircraft batteries which were later found near the tail section way up in the mountains as I recall . It was an incredible story
Check out the Wikipedia article of the events. They made it to the tail section which had the batteries, but they were too heavy. So they carried the radio to the tail section. However, the voltage of the batteries was completely wrong for the voltage of the radio, so it was never going to work
The most tragic aspect is that they were just 9-10 days away from Chile (greener mountains); but of course, nobody knew at the time (it took HUGE courage to climb that thing, and only after finding proper gear in the tail area weeks later).
Raphael Miguel Balon I love airplanes my dad owns one. he even crashed a landing 2 ft above the air. the wing clipped to the ground. the main reason that we landed in Tennessee instead of Iowa was that the door popped open and it was better to crash in a landing zone than in a big city! am I right??
Emil Ström your so right and people survive crashes from planes more than cars. I know why. planes have flaps to control wind. this slows down planes while they fall. while cars. boom. they did xD
This film still makes me cry. Honestly I listen to “el condor pasa” - a beautiful old folk song (which far predates Paul Simon’s version) - as it is about the lonely isolation of the brutal Andes. I still can’t believe what these young men endured. Their writings about what they suffered are easily some of the most haunting accounts I have ever read.
Hearing the strain on those engines as the pilots fruitlessly try to gain altitude after flying blind in the snow is just so terrifying. We know those props are going to stall.
I'm always amused in movies or cartoon strips when someone about to be executed requests a final cigarette, too. Does that REALLY help?!? lol Still, there is some historical basis for it: Sir Walter Raleigh had a leisurely pipe just before he was executed. (Or rather, judicially murdered.)
@@kleverstudios Yes, I read it awhile back. He was considerably older than than the team. Señor Methol was in his early forties and the players were about half that. This was back in '72. Señor Methol had four children with Lilliana. He remarried and fathered four more children with his second wife.
In 1974 I took the calm decision never to fly on a plane ever again (after a pretty routine flight to and from Yugoslavia). I hated the fact that I had no control whilst I cheated gravity. This film just reinforces my opinion. Planes are fantastically vulnerable. Despite the tired arguments about being statistically safer than driving etc.. I always say the two cannot be compared. Driving is like having one egg in each of 100 baskets; taking a plane trip is having 100 eggs in one basket...
if the pilots went straight instead of making a right turn to early all of this would have been avoided, pilot error is the reason this happened, they were supposed to make a right turn after they passed the mountains but instead turned right into the mountains
Yeap, that was the ultimate cause for the accident, pilot error, but there are a fiew things to say about this: 1- They were flying in bad visibility, so they had to use the instruments to navigate (according to the laws of the Uruguayan Air Force). 2- The Fairchild had a system that can point the pilots to the direction that they had to go, and the distance they are from the destiny (using radio signals and stations as reference points in the flyght) and that system didn't fail in the moment of the accident. 3- Both pilots were experienced, well the Pilot had thousands of hours crossing Los Andes, and so the Co-Pilot, they knew the route and they use it hundred of times. So, if they were flying in bad conditions, using instruments that worked right, and at the end they crash-land in the mountains, something really bad had to happen. I think that the PIlots broke the rules and decided to use one reference point they saw above the clouds to decide when to turn the plane. But even if they did that, they HAD to check the instruments and those will thell them to DO NOT CHANGE THE COURSE. So, was the Pilots fault, but the reason for the accident is so fucking strange to me, even today. Well, as Uruguayan I was born with this story around my childhood, but the main cause for the accident is so strange that I can't come up with a theory about it. Maybe this accident had been caused by the bad security and flyght performance of the plane. Because after the main investigation by the SAR (Servicio Aereo de Rescate // Air Rescue Service) in Chile, if they were flying another plane... they could avoid the mountains. The Fairchild need LONG distances to manuver and had little power (as shown in the movie) in its engines. So even if the Pilots turn the plane in the bad spot, if they weren't flying that Death Trap called Fairchild F-227 the accident could be avoided.
***** If the question is for me, I can say, "No, I am not". All I stated is based in the final SAR investigation back in the 70's and the Survivors documents and the Uruguayan Air Force final words in the accident. But still... why they turn in that spot... is away of every expert.
***** If I were, I could state why the accident happened in the first place. I know were are you going, but what I'm saying is that, the instruments didn't fail, they were flying with the instruments but they reported to the control tower in Santiago, Chile, that they spot the location (the reference mountain) to start the turn to the North. When they do this, they were in the WRONG spot and the plane turn to the North in the middle of Los Andes. Once again, was their fault BUT, why they didn't check the instruments is something that no one know for sure.
***** they turned when they should have went straight ahead,basically its like making a right turn right into a pole in your car when u should have just went straight and make the turn past the pole and avoid itPilot error completely
eliza gonzalez Yes it is Pilot error, but the instruments tell to them to NOT turn in that spot. A mayor failure from people with experiencie, and that's what botter me. Why they stop using the instruments, since they were using them to navigate due the bad weater.
unbeatablesniper16 29 people died all together, alot were seriously injured, and died early on, some lasted a good long time, but 72 days is a long time to wait for a rescue
I was almost in a plane crash when I flew to Idaho. When the plane that me, my dad, and my sister were in was landing in Sun Valley International Airport, the plane landed so fast, faster than in any landing plane. It was so scary. Thankfully the plane didn't crash.
What they need to start doing is making planes in such a way in that, if all else fails, the failsafes fail, then the crash needs to be as survivable as possible. One thing, for example, is that they can make sure THE SEATS STAY FUCKING SECURE! And that impact is as soft as possible. And that should the plane crash, everyone survives.
Many people were critical of this acting in this scene and in this movie altogether but I just don't understand why. I remember watching this in 1993 at 13 years old when it aired on HBO. Its one of those movies that just sticks with you. Especially since it's based on a true story . After the movie they had a special called 20 years later (something like that). Where they interviewed some of the survivors.
To this day, about 50 years after it happened, the airplane (a Fairchild turboprop) still lies where it came to a stop. The wreckage has deteriorated from weather, snowmasses and ice moving it about, as well as a few morbid souvenir hunters who trek there to get a piece of it.
So apparently they are planning to do a remake from this movie. Directed by Juan Antonio Bayona. And it will be in Spanish. Parrado said so in an interview some months ago.
the guy trying to put his seatbelt on at the last second… jeez. the worst part about this whole story is there was an abandoned hotel with rations only 13 miles away from the crash
The creators of this story also are smiling,their having the last laugh at your expense.This story is 100% bull waste. I don't think anyone would have survived a plane crash and lived 79 days.
Negrostrike How do you know this is true?Do you believe NASA went to the moon?You shouldn't believe everything that you hear or see.It could be deceptive!How in the world could anyone have survived a plane crash like that and still two fellows trek out of a high mountain.Come on.I have read about Mt.Everest if your frost bitten for 1 day or 2days on the mountain of Everest you are dead. How could anyone have even survived a plane crash without a hospital or medical assistance near.100% Bologni story. I need to see more evidence to be convinced.
went the plane stop, Suzanne ended up getting badly injured, went Roberto come to help her want she was still in her seat she cried out to her mother who dead in the crash- "Ma'ma Ma'ma I want to go home i want to go home hurts it hurts it's hurting so much." then Roberto moved her and layer her down on the floor of the plane...then the next day on the mountain Suzanne called out Roberto's name..then he came over to her "how are you doing Suzanne?." then Suzanne said" my feet hurt." then Roberto walked over and picked up her legs from the floor & he take off her socks off her feet....he then started rubbing her bare feet with his hands then...he said" your feet got cold how's that?." being so injured all she had to say was thank you!. how sad to think that she probably never had anyone touch her feet before!. I wonder what she was thinking about when Roberto take off her socks off. I wonder if she was thinking that he wasn't going to take off her socks & only rub her feet with her socks on?!?. she could feel him touching her feet!!!.
The scary thing about this is that this movie was released in 1993, the same year of the WTC bombing. Of course, this is based on a plane crash from 1972, and and at the time of the actual event the twin towers were topped out, but still being constructed. PLANES were hijacked and they CRASHED into the WORLD TRADE CENTER TWIN TOWERS on 9/11/2001 and this is a movie released around 1993 about a PLANE CRASH from 1972 which was the same exact year both WORLD TRADE CENTER TWIN TOWERS were topped out! Isn't it ironic????
No me and my sister when we were 7 our mom had us watch this and she turned it off because we couldnt stop laughing, I almost pissed myself when I first watched this scene😂😂😂 even as young adults we still get a kick ou of this scene
The mistake here is cleary made by the pilots, because after went down 700 mts in the empty bag of air, they had a lapse of time to pull the plane up again, but they keep it close to the mountains and when the plane detected the base of a big mountain, it was too late to pull the plane up cuz the mountain was too high.
I remember when this film came out, and seeing the shocking impact of this scene for the first time. Still the most effective I've seen.
Now go watch Society of the Snow that just came out, and tell us what you think of that plane scene.
Bro, Society of the Snow will give you chills...

This movie really moved me when I eight. I'm still hesitant to relive it. I'll watch it again sometime soon.
Michael DUDE I WATHED IT WHEN I WAS 8 TO!
The effects are excellent. This scene still chills me to the bone. Incredible movie.
I was about to say, really nicely done for early 90s. Probably the only plane crash scene that beats it is the one in "Knowing".
This shows that practical effects are superior to just 100% CGI.
It's a damn shame practical effects are not used anymore today
+TheNw1218 4
Totally agree, much scarier than a CGI crash.
Arturo Cevallos Soto i
Agreed. Its because 3/4 of the movies budget goes to the actors/actress salaries.
I went to Chile and Santiago some years ago and we flew over the Andes mountains, I got so scared as the pilot announced we were over those mountains and we had to descend in order to get over to Chile. Every time I fly I pray for to God to carry me. As I never want to be in this situation.
michael williams wow, you got so lucky that your plane didn't crash.
Pray to God???
God allowed this plane crash to happen. You religious people crack me up.
drServitis Don't start a flame war.
It's our moral duty to educate the uneducated, don't you think?

Most realistic airplane crash scene ever.
+Venomrs4 no CGI bullshit here. all practical effects..
Crash scene in Castaway was pretty good.
+Venomrs4 sarcastic
The plane crash seen in "The Grey" was pretty "lifelike" as well.
I have always had a deep fear of flying, so my Dad said "The Grey is the BEST! You'll love it! Just don't watch any previews because it gives the movie away!"

Some may say I'm overreacting, but when a person knows just how truly afraid you are of something, and makes it a point to make sure you "experience it" 1 week before I was to leave for Mexico.. Yea!
Agreed, you can feel the emotion.
Honestly, I'd rather die instantly (during the plane crash) than have to play survivor afterwards.
Then you a bitch

+Zawmbbeh Then you a bitch too!

+Fredi81 What? Try making a little bit of sense
God that's one reason not to sit in the back of a plane.
or near the front

savage beast But, yea, the movie is about a tragedy in the 70's.
lol, thanks for the chuckle.
Moral: Never take back seat.
+Subir Dhar its usually the safest place to sit most impacts are frontal hits
Actually the back seats are safer.
moral of story..sit in middle that way if its front hit then you ok and if back hit then you ok....if plane split in half then you no ok.
+Subir Dhar no, the middle of the plane is safest, there is more structeral integrity in the middle due to the wings, there is also an emergency exit on wing seats
I think what he means by not taking the back seat is when the back of the plane's wing crashed and half of the plane was gone...
Saw this in the theater when it came out..think was 92-93...anyway this scene was killer on the BIG screen
Jeez, while gliding in silence like that some of them probably thought they had already died. Saddest part is that after surviving _that_ crash so many of them died days later in the avalanche...

The guy at 1:33 who waited for half the plane to be missing before attempting to buckle his seat belt cracks me up.

That's why he was knocked unconscious.. :(
If I remember correctly, Nando (whom Hawke played) was out cold for several days.

And no CGI anywhere to be found.
Kalle Kula Not a real story.
Don't believe anyone would have survived after the plane crash.
This scene took two minutes to show how pilot error (controlled flight into terrain) caused the crash of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571.
I had to come back and look at this after the Colombia place crash that killed pretty much the entire soccer team today.
One can only wonder if it happened so fast that they didn't have time to react or if they knew the severity of they situation. God bless them, the survivors, and the families affected.
BRAZIL
The most terrifying crash scene I have ever seen. The movie makers did a great job here. Hats off to them for the realism.

R.I.P
to all 29 people who were killed in this plane crash

Yes Federico because we are crashing into them.

Moby Dick is fictional though.
The shrapnel piercing the guy’s leg and the seats slamming forward with the bloody skull fracture was great attention to detail.
1:39 you can see a bag or something hit Nando in the face, which puts him out for 3 days. Pretty subtle

I would not be consuming what and whom that friend was, only their vessel. I would know that if that friend loved me, they would want me to go on and love their surviving family for them. It would be my duty to my fallen friend to continue to live so I may love those my fallen friend was taken from.
They did unthinkable things to survive
+Indrid Cold True.... but then i'd eat human anyway.
+Amanda M so interesting to see poeple say how they would act in a situation like this
I'm vegan but if I was in a situation like this I would do the same thing.
+Amanda M But if they had waited for god they would have starved. Plus,I doubt very much that you've been in a situation where the two choices were cannibalism or death,so you don't know how you'd react,nobody does until they are in that situation.
you can feel the fear .. and it was all true too. Definitely the best air crash scene ever shown . The fuselage tobogganed down the side of the mountain at 200 mph . Can you imagine being in that thing .. waiting for the cliff ? I remember this crash way back in 1972..given up for dead then incredibly survivors made contact . I often wondered if a primitive SOS beacon could have been made out of spare parts .. .if you have the knowledge . Think they tried to get the radio going but didn't have the aircraft batteries which were later found near the tail section way up in the mountains as I recall . It was an incredible story
Check out the Wikipedia article of the events. They made it to the tail section which had the batteries, but they were too heavy. So they carried the radio to the tail section.
However, the voltage of the batteries was completely wrong for the voltage of the radio, so it was never going to work
The most tragic aspect is that they were just 9-10 days away from Chile (greener mountains); but of course, nobody knew at the time (it took HUGE courage to climb that thing, and only after finding proper gear in the tail area weeks later).
it is rather funny how everyone is scared at 0.13 and the mechanic is sitting there very calm like he doesnt care or smth
And another reason why I HATE planes....
same I agree
Me too.
Fizzy Frost Fact: did you know that the risk of craching in a car is high er than craching in a plane
Raphael Miguel Balon I love airplanes my dad owns one. he even crashed a landing 2 ft above the air. the wing clipped to the ground. the main reason that we landed in Tennessee instead of Iowa was that the door popped open and it was better to crash in a landing zone than in a big city! am I right??
Emil Ström your so right and people survive crashes from planes more than cars. I know why. planes have flaps to control wind. this slows down planes while they fall. while cars. boom. they did xD
This film still makes me cry. Honestly I listen to “el condor pasa” - a beautiful old folk song (which far predates Paul Simon’s version) - as it is about the lonely isolation of the brutal Andes. I still can’t believe what these young men endured. Their writings about what they suffered are easily some of the most haunting accounts I have ever read.
Notice how cool the 80's and 90's were as you could still smoke on the plane in those days.
That's why I said the 80''s and 90's were cool ya the 2000's are Gay. hahahahahahah
Yeah twas cool
Back then
This takes place in 1972. By the year this was made, 1993, it wouldnt have been permited.
Whatever You fucking nerd.
tarimaa1 hey tarimaa 1 why DONT YOU SHUT UP!!! I BET bawoman IS SMARTER THAN YOU!!!
I remember not wanting to see this movie in theaters because I didn't want to see them resort to cannibalism. o _ o
If that's true, you're going to hate "In the Heart of the Sea" coming out later this year.
kxmode: Makes me wonder how a vegan would react.
oh well done pilot the guitar is ok!
As a guitar player, I gotta say that's a good one.
The guitar ends up as firewood.
Needless to say that during the actual flight everything happened way faster and nobody saw anything coming.
Hearing the strain on those engines as the pilots fruitlessly try to gain altitude after flying blind in the snow is just so terrifying. We know those props are going to stall.
So if you sit in the back of the plane you go flying out. If you sit at the front you get crushed by everyone else. Aw well your screwed either way.
0:3 oh let me just smoke when this plane is falling ya know helps me be happy b4 i die
I'm always amused in movies or cartoon strips when someone about to be executed requests a final cigarette, too. Does that REALLY help?!? lol Still, there is some historical basis for it: Sir Walter Raleigh had a leisurely pipe just before he was executed. (Or rather, judicially murdered.)
@@cherylelliot526 Not good. Still bad for one's health.
God, that throttle-up sound is just so epic and desperate. It sounds like the aircraft is angrily trying to kill everyone on board!! D^:>
Sadly, one of the 16 survivors, Javier Methol, died in 2015
Maria Zarzycka Did he really?
KleverStudios Yes
@@kleverstudios Yes, I read it awhile back. He was considerably older than than the team. Señor Methol was in his early forties and the players were about half that. This was back in '72. Señor Methol had four children with Lilliana. He remarried and fathered four more children with his second wife.
In 1974 I took the calm decision never to fly on a plane ever again (after a pretty routine flight to and from Yugoslavia). I hated the fact that I had no control whilst I cheated gravity. This film just reinforces my opinion. Planes are fantastically vulnerable. Despite the tired arguments about being statistically safer than driving etc.. I always say the two cannot be compared. Driving is like having one egg in each of 100 baskets; taking a plane trip is having 100 eggs in one basket...
Same
Back when Americans couldn't read subtitles. If they made this film today it would have been in Spanish.
Great scene! Fucked me up for life....
Amazing film
This scene freaking messed me up so much as a kid...
if the pilots went straight instead of making a right turn to early all of this would have been avoided, pilot error is the reason this happened, they were supposed to make a right turn after they passed the mountains but instead turned right into the mountains
Yeap, that was the ultimate cause for the accident, pilot error, but there are a fiew things to say about this:
1- They were flying in bad visibility, so they had to use the instruments to navigate (according to the laws of the Uruguayan Air Force).
2- The Fairchild had a system that can point the pilots to the direction that they had to go, and the distance they are from the destiny (using radio signals and stations as reference points in the flyght) and that system didn't fail in the moment of the accident.
3- Both pilots were experienced, well the Pilot had thousands of hours crossing Los Andes, and so the Co-Pilot, they knew the route and they use it hundred of times.
So, if they were flying in bad conditions, using instruments that worked right, and at the end they crash-land in the mountains, something really bad had to happen. I think that the PIlots broke the rules and decided to use one reference point they saw above the clouds to decide when to turn the plane. But even if they did that, they HAD to check the instruments and those will thell them to DO NOT CHANGE THE COURSE.
So, was the Pilots fault, but the reason for the accident is so fucking strange to me, even today. Well, as Uruguayan I was born with this story around my childhood, but the main cause for the accident is so strange that I can't come up with a theory about it.
Maybe this accident had been caused by the bad security and flyght performance of the plane. Because after the main investigation by the SAR (Servicio Aereo de Rescate // Air Rescue Service) in Chile, if they were flying another plane... they could avoid the mountains. The Fairchild need LONG distances to manuver and had little power (as shown in the movie) in its engines. So even if the Pilots turn the plane in the bad spot, if they weren't flying that Death Trap called Fairchild F-227 the accident could be avoided.
***** If the question is for me, I can say, "No, I am not". All I stated is based in the final SAR investigation back in the 70's and the Survivors documents and the Uruguayan Air Force final words in the accident. But still... why they turn in that spot... is away of every expert.
***** If I were, I could state why the accident happened in the first place. I know were are you going, but what I'm saying is that, the instruments didn't fail, they were flying with the instruments but they reported to the control tower in Santiago, Chile, that they spot the location (the reference mountain) to start the turn to the North. When they do this, they were in the WRONG spot and the plane turn to the North in the middle of Los Andes.
Once again, was their fault BUT, why they didn't check the instruments is something that no one know for sure.
*****
they turned when they should have went straight ahead,basically its like making a right turn right into a pole in your car when u should have just went straight and make the turn past the pole and avoid itPilot error completely
eliza gonzalez Yes it is Pilot error, but the instruments tell to them to NOT turn in that spot. A mayor failure from people with experiencie, and that's what botter me. Why they stop using the instruments, since they were using them to navigate due the bad weater.
that's fucking scary.
To make things worse, it's based on a real crash... 12 died in the crash, don't know how many died trying to survive in the snow after though
unbeatablesniper16
29 people died all together, alot were seriously injured, and died early on, some lasted a good long time, but 72 days is a long time to wait for a rescue
I was almost in a plane crash when I flew to Idaho. When the plane that me, my dad, and my sister were in was landing in Sun Valley International Airport, the plane landed so fast, faster than in any landing plane. It was so scary. Thankfully the plane didn't crash.
What they need to start doing is making planes in such a way in that, if all else fails, the failsafes fail, then the crash needs to be as survivable as possible. One thing, for example, is that they can make sure THE SEATS STAY FUCKING SECURE! And that impact is as soft as possible. And that should the plane crash, everyone survives.
Spot the green screen effect used at 1:25
Alive + plane crash = lot happening
I have forgotten how horrific the crash scene is. Traumatised me for years afterwards.
This actually happened to me once and to answer your question, yes, everyone was fine.
but what about everyone else
You sure about that?
Old airplanes are terrible but in 2015 all new airplanes have better technology
''mother of god, no!''
''oh, shit!''
yeah, i'd be saying the same things....
Better reconstruction that Air Crash Investigation
Many people were critical of this acting in this scene and in this movie altogether but I just don't understand why. I remember watching this in 1993 at 13 years old when it aired on HBO. Its one of those movies that just sticks with you. Especially since it's based on a true story . After the movie they had a special called 20 years later (something like that). Where they interviewed some of the survivors.
To this day, about 50 years after it happened, the airplane (a Fairchild turboprop) still lies where it came to a stop.
The wreckage has deteriorated from weather, snowmasses and ice moving it about, as well as a few morbid souvenir hunters who trek there to get a piece of it.
I read somewhere that they lit most of it on fire accept for the front fuselage that was buried in the snow
Wow. Amazing how far Ethan Hawke has come since this movie. I was only 16 when I saw this in theatre.
scary video
GOD!!! I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!
Me too
It’s underrated.
They did such a good job with the whole plane crash scene.
1:40 guy is having a blast.
Wow, I'm surprised the front of the fuselage survived intact for so long!
So apparently they are planning to do a remake from this movie. Directed by Juan Antonio Bayona. And it will be in Spanish. Parrado said so in an interview some months ago.
This kind of shit makes me think twice before getting on an aircraft yowsers!
Oh Captain my Captain...
Like a malfunction or something...
So the plane turned into a bobsled... Nice!
it sure did .. a 200 mph bobsled looking for a cliff .. hit a snow bank instead
anyone is interested and speaks Spanish with subtitles or get see this is a very good documentary about survivors talking about what they experienced
Pardon me if I do not write well, I speak Spanish and I'm using google translator
Watch mojo brought me here
Thats why i'll never fly on a plane ....
Whenever I fly this scene pops into my head. And this is why people drink on planes.
Where's denzel when you really need him!
uruguayans did not have slaves haha
in Hollywood flying make believe planes playing hero .. Whereas this crash scene is very close to survivor accounts
the guy trying to put his seatbelt on at the last second… jeez. the worst part about this whole story is there was an abandoned hotel with rations only 13 miles away from the crash
aircraft fokker 27
for those who don't know this was a real plane crash but they made a movie about it people actually had to eat others to survive it was horrible
+Dylan Crowder ..but humans are made of meat..
Storm Within ok and?
Dylan Crowder Whats the big deal? most humans think its natural to eat meat
Storm Within cannibalism is the word
Dylan Crowder ok and?
01:42 That guy on the left is SMILING ON PLANE CRASH????
The Robloxian Adventurer he was in shock. The propeller cut his leg when it came back into the plane after it hit the mountain.
The creators of this story also are smiling,their having the last laugh at your expense.This story is 100% bull waste.
I don't think anyone would have survived a plane crash and lived 79 days.
They did though.
Negrostrike How do you know this is true?Do you believe NASA went to the moon?You shouldn't believe everything that you hear or see.It could be deceptive!How in the world could anyone have survived a plane crash like that and still two fellows trek out of a high mountain.Come on.I have read about Mt.Everest if your frost bitten for 1 day or 2days on the mountain of Everest you are dead.
How could anyone have even survived a plane crash without a hospital or medical assistance near.100% Bologni story.
I need to see more evidence to be convinced.
This is why I always go in the front and ask pilots to be very careful.
in 208 I lost my uncle and his friend in a plane cursh it was the sad day for me
went the plane stop, Suzanne ended up getting badly injured, went Roberto come to help her want she was still in her seat she cried out to her mother who dead in the crash- "Ma'ma Ma'ma I want to go home i want to go home hurts it hurts it's hurting so much." then Roberto moved her and layer her down on the floor of the plane...then the next day on the mountain Suzanne called out Roberto's name..then he came over to her "how are you doing Suzanne?." then Suzanne said" my feet hurt." then Roberto walked over and picked up her legs from the floor & he take off her socks off her feet....he then started rubbing her bare feet with his hands then...he said" your feet got cold how's that?." being so injured all she had to say was thank you!. how sad to think that she probably never had anyone touch her feet before!. I wonder what she was thinking about when Roberto take off her socks off. I wonder if she was thinking that he wasn't going to take off her socks & only rub her feet with her socks on?!?. she could feel him touching her feet!!!.
Joey Enicks: Foot fetish you have, eh?
The scary thing about this is that this movie was released in 1993, the same year of the WTC bombing. Of course, this is based on a plane crash from 1972, and and at the time of the actual event the twin towers were topped out, but still being constructed. PLANES were hijacked and they CRASHED into the WORLD TRADE CENTER TWIN TOWERS on 9/11/2001 and this is a movie released around 1993 about a PLANE CRASH from 1972 which was the same exact year both WORLD TRADE CENTER TWIN TOWERS were topped out! Isn't it ironic????
That's not irony, you dumb fuck.
WTF are talking about? There's no correlation there and nothing you're saying makes any sense
just shut up kid
Max Power what is it then??? is it confusion and delay? lulz
This about sums up the american election
I've never seen this before! This plane crash is amazing! O.O
MatiBanny and it's based on a real story
1:23 See ya coach!
1:41 the're just smiling😂😂
I feel so bad laughing at this
No me and my sister when we were 7 our mom had us watch this and she turned it off because we couldnt stop laughing, I almost pissed myself when I first watched this scene😂😂😂 even as young adults we still get a kick ou of this scene
The mistake here is cleary made by the pilots, because after went down 700 mts in the empty bag of air, they had a lapse of time to pull the plane up again, but they keep it close to the mountains and when the plane detected the base of a big mountain, it was too late to pull the plane up cuz the mountain was too high.
you forgot there was a big mist in the mountains covering everything
could that happen the chairs of the airplane could fall or not =l
