When I was in very dark period of my life, it was my motivational phrase: die or die trying. So thank you for the deep reminder 🙏🏻. What you did was truly amazing. Lots of love. ❤
Fernando Parrado is a legend. The man suffered a broken skull on impact and was in coma for 3 days. He also lost his mother in the crash and then watched his sister dies some days later. He then survived the whole ordeal and volunteered himself to go ask for help after hiking with Canessa for 10 days. He deserves a damn statue in Uruguay.
What Nando and Roberto did must be one of the greatest feats in modern day history. To walk for 10 days without any real equipment, climbing a mountain 4000+ meter high in freezing cold weather and barely without any food. And with everything that happened leading up to it. The fact that they were malnurized and that Nando had been in a coma. That they were hit by an avalanche that killed 8 people. Man. I’m lost for words. From now on I promise myself that I won’t live my life like it’s granted.
THIS man.. 🙌🏻. This HERO, who, with Roberto walked for miles over the sometimes vertical Andes mountains, wearing only rugby boots and summer clothes, with no equipment apart from poles and crude sunglasses made with materials salvaged from the plane crash. He walked for miles, with bulky foam seat cushions strapped to his feet to stop him sinking in the snow. Try walking like that round a room, let alone up a mountain. He walked, with parts of his friends in his pockets which he then had to eat. He walked, having survived a plane crash, head injury, three day coma, starvation, dehydration, injury, sub zero temperatures, emotional loss of his mother, sister and friends....having to make the unthinkable choice to use the only protein on the mountain....those same friends. He walks over mountains, then voluntarily steps back on a helicopter - TWICE - to go back and rescue the other survivors, on helicopters buffeted so much by the wind, that the young copilot pilot was crying in terror and the passengers were shouting the rosary. Can you imagine, after one plane crash already. Nando Parrado. Inspiration, brave Hero....a living legend. Saved for a reason.
Agree 100%! The other 14 survivors themselves tell the world that although they don't consider themselves heroes, they do consider Nando and Roberto actual heroes. That hike/trek was an gigantic act of courage and determination!
@@poppitpop this information is from the book, Society of the Snow. This is the text, translated by the publisher from Spanish. “ In the rescue helicopter Daniel was seated behind the pilot and could only see the back of his head, but he could see the profile of the co-pilot, a man too young for what he had to face. Nando was by his side, and Álvaro Mangino rode behind them. When the helicopter began to shake like it was being beaten, he asked Nando if the trip had been like this on the way over, if the helicopter was supposed to seem like it was falling apart with that horrible sound of screeching metal. However much power they gave the motor they never managed to stabilise it or to arrive at the summit they wanted to fly over. Nando responded to him that, yes, he should remain calm, that it had been the same before. Daniel looked again at the co-pilot and saw that he was crying now. He looked again at Nando and found his expression to be sombre. How ironic, Daniel thought, that seventy-one days of suffering should be brought to an end in this way. Dying on another aircraft.
@J Moore I doubt the poor people you're talking about have seen themselves in a worse situation than Nando...so...All the money he has earned he can use it however the fuck he wants!
@J Moore but he deserved all the comfort in life , he works hard ! But on the other hand may be he should share more with the poor people in his country . since he was reborn again ...i understand your point , just let's hope he will one day!
I have listened to Nando, in his native language, Spanish. And I must conclude, that in English, he is more intense and fluid. In Spanish, he is more leisurely and calm. On both occasions, he is always sincere, motivating and humble with his heroism. He is truly a special human being.
In Spanish he moves you into tears, he shows his soul completely as the huge human being he is…love him and the rest of partners in that incredible adventure and challenge, they all are an example of courage and partnership
After all he went true losing a mother and sister in a terrible way this man can manage to go on a stage and talk about it in front of many people. This is just unbelievable. This guy is a legend.
I love Roberto's response when Nando noticed that he was wearing the belt of his dead best friend Ponchito. "Your best friend is gone Nando, I'm your best friend now"
En mi pequeño pais perdido en la America del Sur no necesitamos heroes enmascarados y con Capa, tenemos a Parrado, Canessa, Paes Vilaro etc...super hombres que lo superaron todo !!!
This man’s strength is impeccable. If I were in his shoes, narrating what happened, I would have bawled my eyes out. Here I am, just listening to his stories, and my tears kept flowing. What an inspiring story of courage, faith, strength and human survival beyond comprehension.
He visto la película la sociedad de la nieve ya 2 veces y voy por mi tercera y en cada vez que la veo descubro detalles y cosas que los verdaderos protagonistas de este suceso han contado. Se me ha despertado una obsesión por saber cada vez más de la vida de los verdaderos protagonistas antes, durante y después del suceso. Es maravilloso escuchar las historias de resilencia y valentía de los sobrevivientes! DESEO QUE ESTA PELÍCULA GANE UN OSCAR!!! Felicito a los actores jóvenes que hicieron un trabajo impecable y J.A Bayona también, que estudio y calculo con mucha precisión cada detalle de la película. Gracias!
Nando Parrado - Canesa y Parrado ,esos nombre se nos quedaron grabados a fuego en la mente a todos los Curicanos. yo tenia 13 años, y vivia ahi,, en el valle de curicó, y el avion caido estaba arriba justo frente a Curicó. Recuerdo que rezamos todos los dias con mi madre para que no murieran. Y me emociona al verlos llenos de vida , ahora después de tantos años. Abrazos Nando querido! Fuiste un chico fuerte y valiente. En Chile los queremos mucho!
I was in 5th grade when this happened. The story has captivated me for decades. 15 years ago I was doing a winter solo mountaineering expedition in Alaska, where I live. Triggered avalanche, which somehow I managed to survive. Found myself in a life-death survival story, nowhere near similar to what these men endured but it put me to the ultimate test and I made it out alive, self rescue, on my own wits. Search teams couldn't find me. Had i stayed put waiting to be found I would have died there. What he says is so true: we don't know what our strengths will be until faced with such a situation. And to live your own best life NOW, not wait. And be grateful.
Estuvo muerto 3 días....eso no lo dijo.. tenía una fractura de cráneo que se desinflamo en la nieve...es una persona extraordinaria desde donde lo mires
The Andes disaster was a fascinating psychological example of what armies have known for centuries... when a pre-formed group is suddenly exposed to terrible danger, the guys who "rise to the occasion" and become leaders are RARELY the ones you expect. Neither Parrado nor Canessa were captains of the rugby team, nor did anybody think of them as leaders before the crash: Parrado, as he says, was a gawky rich kid with glasses and Canessa was such a peevish know-it-all they called him "Muscles". But those were the two men who said "If I go, I'll probably die anyway, but if I don't go, then we will all die here." Without them standing up, nobody would have gone anywhere.
todos los seres humanos tenemos instintos, intencionalidad de supervivencia inherente, todos hubiesen intentado lo mismo por naturaleza.. No hay que glorificar a nadie, ni usufructuar de una tragedia con victimas que nunca regresaron a sus familias, It was God's will, not mans will to survive and live a life..
@@sinmma8111He didn't. He broke mentally at the very beginning but he overcame those emotions and became a leader all the way until the avalanche took his life.
Uruguay debería hacer un homenaje a éstos supervivientes aún vivos. Es raro encontrar en la historia de la humanidad una hazaña como la del milagro de los Andes. Sólo falta un año para que se cumplan 50 años de ésta hazaña única!
Ya pasó ese año que faltaba. En el momento en que estoy escribiendo, los muchachos todavía estaban en la montaña. Homenajes no han faltado. Un saludo para ti.
Querido Fernando soy una abuela de casi 80 años que segui parte de tu vida pues soy una lectora incansable ávida de conocimiento desde pequeña siempre leyendo así llegó el conocimiento del accidente a mi con mucho impacto siempre vivió en mi la corazonada que había chicos con vida y lo decía un dia almorzando estábamos y en Carve dijeron que se divisaba una cruz soy devota de la virgen de Fátima y llorando le dije a mi esposo 16 quedan y soy perceptiva había vida ,es mi vivencia de su milagro , ( ahora en este momento tuyo familiar y de paz ,es la primera vez que escucho una conferencia maravillosa tan explicitado y humana como la tuya ,yo sé que tienes experiencia periodística pues te segui siempre, pero ¡¡¡ qué orgullo verte hijo sereno tranquilo dictar esa conferencia!!! Sigue siendo feliz tu esposa seguirá siendo como la bella joven que conocí leyendo los sociales del PAÍS ...🌈🌹🌹🌹...
Leyendo tu mensaje veo que las dos sentimos lo mismo, presentimos que estaban vivos. Es bueno saber que a otra persona le pasó lo mismo. Lo dije en un mensaje. Saludos.
I am Venezuelan. i had travelled so many miles. Now i am in Chile. So tired.. so down...so helpless. i wanted to give so many times. i imagine that Nando, Canessa, Paez,... and the team are here at my side. They say : What happens to you Julio? DON'T GIVE UP! and i begin to walk again, step by step.. till Venezuela be free!
Acabo de ver este video, me encuentro en Ecuador, y viendo esto uno cree que ha pasado vainas. Hoy es un nuevo beginning. I too look forward for a Free Venezuela, that we can return to and build to be once again what we represented in South America. Bendiciones a todo los guerros all around the world.
I cried so much when i saw the movie, as I read all the documentary. Believe it or not inspired me to stay strong as a single parent with 3 young kids at a very young age of 21. If this man survived I will survived too. IF THERE IS A WILL THERE IS A WAY. Even I suffered Lupus for almost 24 years due to over fatique without maintenance for almost 18 years now.I retired with peace of mine.I always think of those who survived for 72 days. Mr.Nando Parrado and the 15 survivor I sincerely thanks all of you because it inspired me. My mom and I have strong unity that our family will survived . Your an Ideal person.
As a 41 year old man from a tiny town in South Carolina I can say without a doubt this man has been a hero of mine since I was a young boy and my mom read me his story. He is an inspiration to all mankind. A hero in the truest since of the word. I know I'll never get to meet you Nando but you are my hero sir. ❤
This is one of the most intriguing incidents I've ever encountered and I would absolutely love to meet Nando... A most impressive man and story! Thank you! 🙏
Absolutely love this man! I first read the book Alive in 87, and whenever I face anything challenging, I think of him. Because he faced and survived the impossible.
I am 60 yrs old from Argentina. This is the first time I put my attention on this documental I find inspirational to keep on pushing thru difficulties.
This guy has the biggest balls ever, just incredible. He had such a strong mindset and will power to save himself and everybody, despite losing his mother and sister. He is the badass everyone wants to be, this guy is just wow. Along with Roberto and the rest of the team, just insane.
Nando, I heard you say you were an average person (implying you were not a leader prior the crash). YOU WERE a leader and had never been presented with something so challenging and horrific. I remember the very day in October 1972 when I heard the news getting ready that morning for school over our radio in our bathroom. Your courage has been my inspiration many times. 😌
@@adrianagortiz The Catholic Church of Chile eventually forgave the survivors for doing what they did, because they literally had no other option for survival.
Soy brasileño, nací en 1975. Crecí escuchando esta increíble historia contada por mi padre. sin duda tuvo una gran influencia en mi vida, tanto en mi vida personal como profesional. la difusión de esta fantástica historia es fundamental para que las personas tengan una perspectiva real sobre la resiliencia humana y puedan llevar este ejemplo a su vida personal.
seen a few videos about this story including the movie and these people are legendary heroes, not just those that made it but those that didn't as well. really makes you understand we shouldnt take things for granted, nothing in this world is trivial and you should appreciate every moment
I'm Uruguayan Canadian. I was born in Uruguay and lived a few years in Montevideo. All of us Uruguayans knew this story from a very young age. I read the book Alive and was immediately inspired by Nando and Roberto, and the whole team and their incredible story of survival . It would be great to meet one of survivors one day and hear their story in person.

@@vvvvvvvvv11 Si verdad, hubiéramos hecho lo mismo. Pero igual no hay minimizar lo que lograron Nando y Roberto. Yo escuche a Roy Harley y a Álvaro Mangino declarar que lo que ellos dos hicieron fue heroico.
@@memoriesmuseum2824that's awesome. Back then, my parents also had the choice between Canada and Australia, and they chose the cold! Where's the logic? Haha. Australia would have been nice as well.
I was 14 years old when this accident happened. I do remember hearing about it in school. We actually talked about the incident after these young men were rescued. There was a big Newspaper article about it in my local paper back then and I read the entire half page they printed on it. I was shocked and in disbelief about it but there it was in black and white. I was very moved by their story and had some trouble with it due to my being very young at the time and ended up speaking to one of my English teachers about it. She explained a great many things to me that day one of which was perseverance. That conversation has always stuck with me over the years along with these young men's experiences and both have help sustain me in my life and for that I will forever be grateful. May God bless all who died that day and in the days that followed and also for all who survived.
I'm Brazilian, born in 1975. I grew up listening to this incredible story told by my father. certainly had a great influence on my life, both in my personal and professional life. the dissemination of this fantastic story is essential for people to have a real perspective on human resilience and to be able to take this example into their personal lives.
Admiracion y agredacimiento para este grupo de hermanos nacidos en Uruguay 🇺🇾 un pequeño pais Americano,gracias por su ejemplo y grandeza.. Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱 AMERICA
I am a senior in high school and just 23 minutes ago, I was granted the wonderful opportunity of introducing this inspirational man at a local event in my valley. I am speechless, beyond excited, and quite nervous. Who even gets this opportunity????
I don´t know if you want to accept my propose , i live in Mexico City, i am very near to the basilica of Guadalupe, i can buy one nackelace for you if you want, add me on fb my name Arthur Histder !!!!
I think the most touching part from this was when his daughters asked him to take them to the andes mountains where the plane crashed and where their father lived for 2 and a half months, and how they were born there cause had he not done what he did to survive they wouldnt be here.
AMAZING LESSON OF LIFE!! What really matters is relationships..we could die..anytime..lets enjoy life..WITH WHAT WE HAVE NOW..NUESTRA SIMPLE RESPIRACION ES UN REGALO DE DIOS!!

Para mí, es también la historia de supervivencia más increíble.
La mayor hazaña de supervivencia del hombre es la de Ernest Shackleton y su buque Endurance, en 1915. Estuvieron 21 meses atrapados en Antártida y trajo con vida a toda la tripulación (28 personas)

@@CCC-hl1dy Si pero el era un profesional en supervivencia (Explorador polar). Nuestros amigos uruguayos. Totalmente novatos y nativos de zonas a bajas altitudes y zonas cálidas. Eso hace más increíble su historia.
@ Es cierto, pero 21 meses en temperaturas que pueden llegar a más de 80° bajo cero, vivir casi dos meses en una banquisa a la deriva y cruzar 1.300 km en esos mares en un bote de 6 mts, me parece que supera por lejos las condiciones terribles de estos valientes uruguayos y ningún experto está preparado para semejante exigencia. En mi opinión son proezas incomparables desde cualquier punto de vista.
+keny chauhan Is he really the greatest human being though? Don't get me wrong I love the guy and I admire what he did, but at the end of the day, he fought to survive like the majority of us would.... Both him and Roberto made it to Chile so that means the majority of young men could do what they did...... I'm not being disrespectful I'm just questioning your comment and saying he is an amazing person but not the "greatest" person.... He didn't take a bullet for somebody or cure cancer, he walked across the Andes in summer to save himself because his alternative was death....... Before anybody verbally abuses me, just know, he is a hero of mine as well.
Okay everyone is entitled to give their opinion according to their level of perception.. I referred him as the greatest human being is just because he lost his mother and daughter and overcome the fear and left behind the horror despite of all odds against him and even after this tragedy he did not break down and just spend his life for nothing he created a many companies with his hard work and dedication and motivate people who are going through a lot of worse phases.. The person who knows what loss is, what pain is only those know how much burden they took with the smile on their faces so for me he is one of the greatest human being.
+94981745 'the majority of young men could do what he did'?? ridiculous statement. i doubt 1 in a 10,000 could have made the climb and trek they did in the condition that they did
QuixoticQuaver The book is fantastic but the epilogue is my personal favorite part of the book and you can check out parts of it online by going to amazon and clicking on the "look inside" feature. Your probably aware of how Roberto Canessa became a pediatric cardiologist. I was amazed to read how he personally bought a used piece of equipment from a New York hospital and how he went up there to bring it back home. Something that was bulky enough to require the use of a handcart, he wheeled it down to the sidewalk and after awhile flagged somebody in a truck to take him to the airport. Then there was the red-tape he had to deal with once he got home that eventually got the president of the country involved. Lots of great stuff about all the survivors and then the part about why after years of turning down opportunities to have his story told, he changed his mind. Some of the most inspirational stuff I've ever read.
mako88sb es así, el libro de nando es el mejor que se escribió sobre la tragedia andes. Lo mejór del libro es como nando relata sus años posteriores all accidente
I LOVE Nando and Roberto, keep watching everything there is about them. Nando is also my fav boysname since I started watching U tube about this. Should have named my (34 year old) son Michaël after him.😊 Maybe one of my grandsons one day . . .
Hi Nando, I attended the Lake Tahoe event and is was amazing. I read, Alive, in 7th grade and now, as a teacher, I have the opportunity to create a reading curriculum around, Miracle in the Andes. We're reading an excerpt from your memoir and watching the documentary, I Am Alive. My 7-10th graders are loving it and can't wait to get their own copy! We just finished watching this TED Talk too! You your comrades are an inspiration. God bless you.
Nando Parrado, eres un HÉROE, un ejemplo a seguir. Gracias por entregarnos tu historia con significados de amor, valentía, fuerza, inteligencia, compañerismo, organización, fe y esperanza. Un relato emocionante hasta las lágrimas y que nos hace reflexionar sobre las cosas que realmente son importantes. Te saludo desde Talca, Chile. Muchas bendiciones para ti y familia

There in the remote Andes, Nando proved himself to be a self-made man. Despite harsh conditions and loss of his two closest women, he never gave up. After the crash he and his late sister became the example of model siblings. When the men died one by one, Nando stayed tough inside and out. Everyone of us has his personal Andes. And either you defeat them, or they will defeat you. And to defeat them, you have to take a leaf out of the book of Nando.
@J Moore it's his money which he earns from his own hard work so it's his choice . So don't be so judgemental and don't spread negativity in everyone's comments in this post. He atleast inspire the world by motivating through his life tragedy and help other by encouraging them through his powerful words. And that's itself a big thing. What you are doing for other? What you do for the Humanity?
@J Moore Lol I'm a Male. But the way you're perception and View on Woman and Girls shows your upbringing and How Disgusting person you are. And you question on the Greatness of guy like Nando Parrado? You don't even qualify to Criticise him.. I pity your family for having Miserable Frustrated person like you. Get Well Soon. May your God Really Bless you.
Nando and Roberto are extremely amazing. He did not let his friends keep suffering in the cold and die of starvation in those mountains. He and Roberto are the greatest heros that I have ever heard of. They are true champions. Any future after the future from that plane to freedom would be easy. I hope all stays well with Nando and his family forever.
I have been in love with Nando Prado's story for decades. The movie "Alive!" is one of the very few that I cared enough to purchase. And when I got my dog, I wanted to give him a kind of exotic name. Then one day at work, I opened a file and it pertained to a gentleman named Fernando and that was it! My dog is named in honor of this hero.♥♥♥
Nando, wow, what an amazing story! Now I see why God gave you a second chance: to inspire all of us. Thanks for sharing what you went through. Because of your story now I'll try to enjoy every breath that God gives me. God bless you!
Tenía 16 años cuando ocurrió la tragedia y hoy 26/10/2022 hace 50 años que sucedió el accidente y acabo de escuchar a Nando Parrado y siempre rescato algo desde que supe que estaban vivos (aunque yo presentía que estaban vivos, crease o no), he seguido su historia y la seguiré escuchando hasta el fin, no me aburre, todo lo contrario cada día aprendo más. Leí tres libros sobre ellos y el que más me gustó fue la Sociedad de la Nieve, increíble. además he escuchado a alguno de ellos en sus conferencias, su superación por todo lo que pasó es extraordinaria. Hasta les escribí en la página viven en el 2010 para contarles lo que yo había sentido y estaba en ese momento con una gran depresión y tuve la bendición que me contestaran Javier Methol y Coche Inciarte. Gracias a Nando por este video ya que venía medio bajón con todo lo que pasa y me diste fuerzas a pesar de todo.
I LISTEN IT FIRST TIME IT IS GREAT AND AMAZING TRUE EXPERIENCE HAT OFF SIR MOST OF PEOPLE DOES NOT HAVE PROBLEMS.BUT THEY CREATE THEMSELEVES AND LOST THEIR LIFE WASTE LESS. .....AN INDIAN
Nando is an amazing speaker and a true inspiration. Definitely one of the greatest survival stories in history hands down. Nando is become a very successful man
Nando Parrado...an EXTRAORDINARY motivator...communicator...team member...and man...I will always seek out his appearances and interviews...he has valuable insight and experiences...which hes willing to share❤🇨🇦
Yo tenía 23 años cuando ocurrió esta tragedia. Cada vez que escucho a Nando Parrado es un momento de reflexión, una historia real de supervivencia y una organización de equipo admirable de valor y amor por la vida, para sobrevivir 72 días en los andes. Siempre miro y escucho esta historia varias veces como un recordatorio, un ayuda memoria de estar a 4000 metros de altura en el medio de la nada, sin agua ni comida y como sobrevivieron este grupo de muchachos, aún hoy a casi 49 años de este suceso me pone la piel de gallina por la prueba que pasaron. Mis respeto y admiración por el valor para superar esta prueba de vida y de salir a buscar ayuda de Nando y Roberto Canessa!!!! Siempre los recuerdo. La noticia que había sobrevivientes fue un milagro de Navidad.

This man gives a example to humanity ..example how to survive the worst time of your life ,,and never ever give up theres always a second chance ...god bless the this beloved man ..a true real life hero
I remember when this happened and was all over the news. I have recently started reading and watching everything I can about this tragedy and find it more interesting than when it originally happened. As a young child, it didn't hit me like it hits me today. The sheer determination it took to get off that mountain was larger than life itself. I've always wondered, that if I were in that plane, would I have had what it took to survive? Would I have volunteered to make the journey with Mr. Parrado? I don't know the answer to that question and I would only know if something like this were to happen to me and I pray it never does. I would love to meet this man and shake his hand, as I believe he is a hero in the truest sense of the word.
There is a movie named ALIVE which was released in 1991 and inspired from this case.this movie shows how exactly they kept to life.I strongly recommend you all.
Realmente Dios nos pone pruebas, pero a él Sr. Fernando le puso un Reto a ser cumplido y lo designo como el guía para salvar a sus amigos y hermanos de Sangre, Nieve, Coraje y determinación para seguir Vivos . IMPRESIONANTE Narración y Motivadora en cada frase. Todo lo Hecho fue VÁLIDO, no solo para que Vivan si no para darnos Lección de VIDA!!💚

He walked, with parts of his friends in his pockets which he then had to eat. He walked, having survived a plane crash, head injury, three day coma, starvation, dehydration, injury, sub zero temperatures, emotional loss of his mother, sister and friends....having to make the unthinkable choice to use the only protein on the mountain....those same friends. He walks over mountains, then voluntarily steps back on a helicopter - TWICE - to go back and rescue the other survivors, on helicopters buffeted so much by the wind, that the young copilot pilot was crying in terror and the passengers were shouting the rosary. Can you imagine, after one plane crash already. Nando Parrado. Inspiration, brave Hero....a living legend. Saved for a reason.

This man is a great speaker. It's no surprise he is so successful. Talk about someone who overcame adversity. Nando is an inspiration.
@J Moore Your comment had nothing to do with his, not to mention how it was made several years ago.
I like him and based on my reading, documentary, he seems admirable. And what he went through, he deserves to enjoy life. My opinion.
Ok dokey
@J Moore I doubt the poor people you're talking about have seen themselves in a worse situation than Nando...so...All the money he has earned he can use it however the fuck he wants!
@J Moore but he deserved all the comfort in life , he works hard ! But on the other hand may be he should share more with the poor people in his country . since he was reborn again ...i understand your point , just let's hope he will one day!
I have listened to Nando, in his native language, Spanish. And I must conclude, that in English, he is more intense and fluid. In Spanish, he is more leisurely and calm. On both occasions, he is always sincere, motivating and humble with his heroism. He is truly a special human being.
In Spanish he moves you into tears, he shows his soul completely as the huge human being he is…love him and the rest of partners in that incredible adventure and challenge, they all are an example of courage and partnership
Pero cómo va a ser más fluido en inglés....
After all he went true losing a mother and sister in a terrible way this man can manage to go on a stage and talk about it in front of many people. This is just unbelievable. This guy is a legend.
'Life is not measured by the amount of breaths that you take, but by those extraordinary moments that take your breath away'
I love Roberto's response when Nando noticed that he was wearing the belt of his dead best friend Ponchito. "Your best friend is gone Nando, I'm your best friend now"
En mi pequeño pais perdido en la America del Sur no necesitamos heroes enmascarados y con Capa, tenemos a Parrado, Canessa, Paes Vilaro etc...super hombres que lo superaron todo !!!
This man’s strength is impeccable. If I were in his shoes, narrating what happened, I would have bawled my eyes out. Here I am, just listening to his stories, and my tears kept flowing. What an inspiring story of courage, faith, strength and human survival beyond comprehension.
My gosh. I have no adequate words to honor the the strength and mental fortitude of Mr. Parrado.
He visto la película la sociedad de la nieve ya 2 veces y voy por mi tercera y en cada vez que la veo descubro detalles y cosas que los verdaderos protagonistas de este suceso han contado. Se me ha despertado una obsesión por saber cada vez más de la vida de los verdaderos protagonistas antes, durante y después del suceso. Es maravilloso escuchar las historias de resilencia y valentía de los sobrevivientes!
DESEO QUE ESTA PELÍCULA GANE UN OSCAR!!!
Felicito a los actores jóvenes que hicieron un trabajo impecable y J.A Bayona también, que estudio y calculo con mucha precisión cada detalle de la película. Gracias!
Me ha pasado lo mismo! increíble

ya viste este?
Les sugiero ver también la película Viven. Tienen muchas más anécdotas. 😊
Nando Parrado - Canesa y Parrado ,esos nombre se nos quedaron grabados a fuego en la mente a todos los Curicanos. yo tenia 13 años, y vivia ahi,, en el valle de curicó, y el avion caido estaba arriba justo frente a Curicó. Recuerdo que rezamos todos los dias con mi madre para que no murieran. Y me emociona al verlos llenos de vida , ahora después de tantos años. Abrazos Nando querido! Fuiste un chico fuerte y valiente. En Chile los queremos mucho!
que lindas palabras y que linda tu historia
Guau que impresionante
I was in 5th grade when this happened. The story has captivated me for decades. 15 years ago I was doing a winter solo mountaineering expedition in Alaska, where I live. Triggered avalanche, which somehow I managed to survive. Found myself in a life-death survival story, nowhere near similar to what these men endured but it put me to the ultimate test and I made it out alive, self rescue, on my own wits. Search teams couldn't find me. Had i stayed put waiting to be found I would have died there. What he says is so true: we don't know what our strengths will be until faced with such a situation. And to live your own best life NOW, not wait. And be grateful.
Make a video about it
Estuvo muerto 3 días....eso no lo dijo.. tenía una fractura de cráneo que se desinflamo en la nieve...es una persona extraordinaria desde donde lo mires
The Andes disaster was a fascinating psychological example of what armies have known for centuries... when a pre-formed group is suddenly exposed to terrible danger, the guys who "rise to the occasion" and become leaders are RARELY the ones you expect. Neither Parrado nor Canessa were captains of the rugby team, nor did anybody think of them as leaders before the crash: Parrado, as he says, was a gawky rich kid with glasses and Canessa was such a peevish know-it-all they called him "Muscles".
But those were the two men who said "If I go, I'll probably die anyway, but if I don't go, then we will all die here." Without them standing up, nobody would have gone anywhere.
Actually, Marcelo Pérez, the captain of the team, did become the leader immediately after the crash, but sadly he died during the avalanche.

Uruguay debería hacer un homenaje a éstos supervivientes aún vivos. Es raro encontrar en la historia de la humanidad una hazaña como la del milagro de los Andes. Sólo falta un año para que se cumplan 50 años de ésta hazaña única!
Ya pasó ese año que faltaba. En el momento en que estoy escribiendo, los muchachos todavía estaban en la montaña. Homenajes no han faltado. Un saludo para ti.
Querido Fernando soy una abuela de casi 80 años que segui parte de tu vida pues soy una lectora incansable ávida de conocimiento desde pequeña siempre leyendo así llegó el conocimiento del accidente a mi con mucho impacto siempre vivió en mi la corazonada que había chicos con vida y lo decía un dia almorzando estábamos y en Carve dijeron que se divisaba una cruz soy devota de la virgen de Fátima y llorando le dije a mi esposo 16 quedan y soy perceptiva había vida ,es mi vivencia de su milagro , ( ahora en este momento tuyo familiar y de paz ,es la primera vez que escucho una conferencia maravillosa tan explicitado y humana como la tuya ,yo sé que tienes experiencia periodística pues te segui siempre, pero ¡¡¡ qué orgullo verte hijo sereno tranquilo dictar esa conferencia!!! Sigue siendo feliz tu esposa seguirá siendo como la bella joven que conocí leyendo los sociales del PAÍS ...🌈🌹🌹🌹...
Leyendo tu mensaje veo que las dos sentimos lo mismo, presentimos que estaban vivos. Es bueno saber que a otra persona le pasó lo mismo. Lo dije en un mensaje. Saludos.
14:30 "let's die trying"....those words carry so much weight It's chilling and inspirational at the same time.
Did anyone else come after watching the snow society?
Yes
I am Venezuelan. i had travelled so many miles. Now i am in Chile. So tired.. so down...so helpless.
i wanted to give so many times. i imagine that Nando, Canessa, Paez,... and the team are here at my side. They say : What happens to you Julio? DON'T GIVE UP! and i begin to walk again, step by step.. till Venezuela be free!
Es fuerte pero pensar asi te llevara lejos. Aguanta que todo mejora con los años
Julio Rodriguez hermano no estás solo.

No aflojes
Acabo de ver este video, me encuentro en Ecuador, y viendo esto uno cree que ha pasado vainas. Hoy es un nuevo beginning. I too look forward for a Free Venezuela, that we can return to and build to be once again what we represented in South America. Bendiciones a todo los guerros all around the world.
I cried so much when i saw the movie, as I read all the documentary. Believe it or not inspired me to stay strong as a single parent with 3 young kids at a very young age of 21. If this man survived I will survived too. IF THERE IS A WILL THERE IS A WAY. Even I suffered Lupus for almost 24 years due to over fatique without maintenance for almost 18 years now.I retired with peace of mine.I always think of those who survived for 72 days. Mr.Nando Parrado and the 15 survivor I sincerely thanks all of you because it inspired me. My mom and I have strong unity that our family will survived . Your an Ideal person.
This was so beautiful to read. Amazing how Mr. Parrado’s life has kept many of us alive too…to keep going! Thank you for sharing ❤
Now this is a true leader, not those absurd motivational speakers who know nothing about struggle.
As a 41 year old man from a tiny town in South Carolina I can say without a doubt this man has been a hero of mine since I was a young boy and my mom read me his story. He is an inspiration to all mankind. A hero in the truest since of the word. I know I'll never get to meet you Nando but you are my hero sir. ❤
This is one of the most intriguing incidents I've ever encountered and I would absolutely love to meet Nando... A most impressive man and story! Thank you! 🙏
Absolutely love this man! I first read the book Alive in 87, and whenever I face anything challenging, I think of him. Because he faced and survived the impossible.
Lee El Libro un hombre de verdad de un escritor ruso.
Un piloto militar naufraga pierde una pierna y cómo sobrevive.
I am 60 yrs old from Argentina. This is the first time I put my attention on this documental I find inspirational to keep on pushing thru difficulties.
Nando!!! The man who din't give up!!
This guy has the biggest balls ever, just incredible. He had such a strong mindset and will power to save himself and everybody, despite losing his mother and sister. He is the badass everyone wants to be, this guy is just wow. Along with Roberto and the rest of the team, just insane.
II just read his book Miracle in the Andes, by far the best book I have ever read! Everyone should check it out!!
I have listened to the audiobook version three times and I will listen to it again when I need to be both humbled and inspired.
Elly J I agree
you should read the society of the snow, best perspective written by the survivors perspective
@@brandanpeteiro But Miracle in the Andes is written by Nando and he was on of the survivors.
@@vrsce0178 yes its also a great book, just adding one more tittle for interested people
Strong minded man. He made me cry. Love this speech.
Nando, I heard you say you were an average person (implying you were not a leader prior the crash). YOU WERE a leader and had never been presented with something so challenging and horrific. I remember the very day in October 1972 when I heard the news getting ready that morning for school over our radio in our bathroom.
Your courage has been my inspiration many times. 😌
WOW - how can anyone hit the dislike button - what an inspiration you are Nando
i'm sure some religious fanatics against eating human bodies. Some people... I admire this man like no other in the world. Excellent!
you right ppl with no seness they dislike is because they dislike them self to
I heard once you get a taste for human flesh - you can never stop.
Probably a Biden voter …
@@adrianagortiz The Catholic Church of Chile eventually forgave the survivors for doing what they did, because they literally had no other option for survival.
Soy brasileño, nací en 1975. Crecí escuchando esta increíble historia contada por mi padre. sin duda tuvo una gran influencia en mi vida, tanto en mi vida personal como profesional. la difusión de esta fantástica historia es fundamental para que las personas tengan una perspectiva real sobre la resiliencia humana y puedan llevar este ejemplo a su vida personal.
seen a few videos about this story including the movie and these people are legendary heroes, not just those that made it but those that didn't as well. really makes you understand we shouldnt take things for granted, nothing in this world is trivial and you should appreciate every moment
I'm Uruguayan Canadian. I was born in Uruguay and lived a few years in Montevideo. All of us Uruguayans knew this story from a very young age. I read the book Alive and was immediately inspired by Nando and Roberto, and the whole team and their incredible story of survival . It would be great to meet one of survivors one day and hear their story in person.

@@vvvvvvvvv11 Si verdad, hubiéramos hecho lo mismo. Pero igual no hay minimizar lo que lograron Nando y Roberto. Yo escuche a Roy Harley y a Álvaro Mangino declarar que lo que ellos dos hicieron fue heroico.
i'm Uruguayan Australian. Born in Australia from my two amazing parents who migrated here from montevideo 💙🇺🇾
@@memoriesmuseum2824that's awesome. Back then, my parents also had the choice between Canada and Australia, and they chose the cold! Where's the logic? Haha. Australia would have been nice as well.
I was 14 years old when this accident happened. I do remember hearing about it in school. We actually talked about the incident after these young men were rescued. There was a big Newspaper article about it in my local paper back then and I read the entire half page they printed on it. I was shocked and in disbelief about it but there it was in black and white. I was very moved by their story and had some trouble with it due to my being very young at the time and ended up speaking to one of my English teachers about it. She explained a great many things to me that day one of which was perseverance. That conversation has always stuck with me over the years along with these young men's experiences and both have help sustain me in my life and for that I will forever be grateful. May God bless all who died that day and in the days that followed and also for all who survived.
I am reading the book ALIVE,I have to say that I can't stop reading this book.Its absolutely amazing,everyone needs to read it.
You should read Nando's book, Miracle in the Andes. I found it to be the best writen about this ordeal
This lecture made me cry. So much courage! thank you Nando for sharing
I'm Brazilian, born in 1975. I grew up listening to this incredible story told by my father. certainly had a great influence on my life, both in my personal and professional life. the dissemination of this fantastic story is essential for people to have a real perspective on human resilience and to be able to take this example into their personal lives.

I am a senior in high school and just 23 minutes ago, I was granted the wonderful opportunity of introducing this inspirational man at a local event in my valley. I am speechless, beyond excited, and quite nervous. Who even gets this opportunity????
One item on my bucket list is to meet Nando and shake his hand.
He is one of my idol .. I want to meet him and hug him and tell him that.. I understand you and I'm with you.
How can u understand him u moron? u weren't there.
serendipity Culture easy guys
@J Moore Q envidia brother
I was lucky enough to meet him once. December 12th was the day Nando set out to save everyone which is also my birthday.
My birthday is on December 12th too
Luke Daley It's also Sinatra's birthday.
MsBillysunday I´TS also the aniversary of the virgin of Guadalupe in México
nokygomy Right, my Grandmother gave me gold necklace with the virgin of Guadalupe that I lost in high school. Still bummed about that.
I don´t know if you want to accept my propose , i live in Mexico City, i am very near to the basilica of Guadalupe, i can buy one nackelace for you if you want, add me on fb my name Arthur Histder !!!!
I think the most touching part from this was when his daughters asked him to take them to the andes mountains where the plane crashed and where their father lived for 2 and a half months, and how they were born there cause had he not done what he did to survive they wouldnt be here.
Most of us will die not knowing how truly capable we were.
This man is incredible. An inspiration! I hope one day I get to shake his hand.
get a autograph too
Outside of my parents and my brother, nobody has inspired me more than this man.
No other motivational speaker will overtake this speech . God bless him ❤
Gracias por ser uruguayo Nando. Una clase para aquellos que se creen que se las saben todas.
AMAZING LESSON OF LIFE!! What really matters is relationships..we could die..anytime..lets enjoy life..WITH WHAT WE HAVE NOW..NUESTRA SIMPLE RESPIRACION ES UN REGALO DE DIOS!!
Para mí, es también la historia de supervivencia más increíble.
exacto es asi y se atreven a comparar con la de los mineros de chile, por favor...
La mayor hazaña de supervivencia del hombre es la de Ernest Shackleton y su buque Endurance, en 1915. Estuvieron 21 meses atrapados en Antártida y trajo con vida a toda la tripulación (28 personas)

@ Es cierto, pero 21 meses en temperaturas que pueden llegar a más de 80° bajo cero, vivir casi dos meses en una banquisa a la deriva y cruzar 1.300 km en esos mares en un bote de 6 mts, me parece que supera por lejos las condiciones terribles de estos valientes uruguayos y ningún experto está preparado para semejante exigencia. En mi opinión son proezas incomparables desde cualquier punto de vista.

Watching this while being Uruguayan just feels amazing. I’m so proud to be born in Montevideo like them.
An incredible man, most impressive because he was an incredible person as a late teen.
Wonderful. Thank u. I was 12 when this happened and always have remembered their spirit about surviving. Love u and bless u
greatest human being example
+keny chauhan Is he really the greatest human being though? Don't get me wrong I love the guy and I admire what he did, but at the end of the day, he fought to survive like the majority of us would.... Both him and Roberto made it to Chile so that means the majority of young men could do what they did......
I'm not being disrespectful I'm just questioning your comment and saying he is an amazing person but not the "greatest" person.... He didn't take a bullet for somebody or cure cancer, he walked across the Andes in summer to save himself because his alternative was death.......
Before anybody verbally abuses me, just know, he is a hero of mine as well.
Okay everyone is entitled to give their opinion according to their level of perception.. I referred him as the greatest human being is just because he lost his mother and daughter and overcome the fear and left behind the horror despite of all odds against him and even after this tragedy he did not break down and just spend his life for nothing he created a many companies with his hard work and dedication and motivate people who are going through a lot of worse phases..
The person who knows what loss is, what pain is only those know how much burden they took with the smile on their faces so for me he is one of the greatest human being.
+keny chauhan Well said. His book Miracle in the Andes is the most inspirational book I've ever read.
thats great
+94981745 'the majority of young men could do what he did'?? ridiculous statement. i doubt 1 in a 10,000 could have made the climb and trek they did in the condition that they did
"Alive!" was the best book I have ever read.
+QuixoticQuaver Have you read Nando's book yet? I think it's even better.
mako88sb I haven't. I must do that.
QuixoticQuaver The book is fantastic but the epilogue is my personal favorite part of the book and you can check out parts of it online by going to amazon and clicking on the "look inside" feature. Your probably aware of how Roberto Canessa became a pediatric cardiologist. I was amazed to read how he personally bought a used piece of equipment from a New York hospital and how he went up there to bring it back home. Something that was bulky enough to require the use of a handcart, he wheeled it down to the sidewalk and after awhile flagged somebody in a truck to take him to the airport. Then there was the red-tape he had to deal with once he got home that eventually got the president of the country involved.
Lots of great stuff about all the survivors and then the part about why after years of turning down opportunities to have his story told, he changed his mind. Some of the most inspirational stuff I've ever read.
Miracle in the andes is even better than alive
mako88sb es así, el libro de nando es el mejor que se escribió sobre la tragedia andes. Lo mejór del libro es como nando relata sus años posteriores all accidente
Nando q fluidez tiene para hablar el inglés, se ve q no perdió el tiempo después de su segunda vida, Grande Nando Parrado !!
I LOVE Nando and Roberto, keep watching everything there is about them. Nando is also my fav boysname since I started watching U tube about this. Should have named my (34 year old) son Michaël after him.😊 Maybe one of my grandsons one day . . .
Hi Nando, I attended the Lake Tahoe event and is was amazing. I read, Alive, in 7th grade and now, as a teacher, I have the opportunity to create a reading curriculum around, Miracle in the Andes. We're reading an excerpt from your memoir and watching the documentary, I Am Alive. My 7-10th graders are loving it and can't wait to get their own copy! We just finished watching this TED Talk too! You your comrades are an inspiration. God bless you.
Nando Parrado, eres un HÉROE, un ejemplo a seguir. Gracias por entregarnos tu historia con significados de amor, valentía, fuerza, inteligencia, compañerismo, organización, fe y esperanza. Un relato emocionante hasta las lágrimas y que nos hace reflexionar sobre las cosas que realmente son importantes. Te saludo desde Talca, Chile. Muchas bendiciones para ti y familia

Absolute will power of a man.. Ur life s a God given gift to others.. Ur really an inspiration sir.. Much respect..
There in the remote Andes, Nando proved himself to be a self-made man. Despite harsh conditions and loss of his two closest women, he never gave up. After the crash he and his late sister became the example of model siblings. When the men died one by one, Nando stayed tough inside and out.
Everyone of us has his personal Andes. And either you defeat them, or they will defeat you. And to defeat them, you have to take a leaf out of the book of Nando.
@J Moore do you know him personally? Are you with him all the time? Does he need to explain his Charity and philanthropic work in public and with you?
@J Moore it's his money which he earns from his own hard work so it's his choice . So don't be so judgemental and don't spread negativity in everyone's comments in this post.
He atleast inspire the world by motivating through his life tragedy and help other by encouraging them through his powerful words. And that's itself a big thing.
What you are doing for other? What you do for the Humanity?
@J Moore now I realised I have wasted my time on a classless and immature person.
Hope you do well in life.. Bye.
@J Moore Lol I'm a Male. But the way you're perception and View on Woman and Girls shows your upbringing and How Disgusting person you are. And you question on the Greatness of guy like Nando Parrado? You don't even qualify to Criticise him.. I pity your family for having Miserable Frustrated person like you.
Get Well Soon. May your God Really Bless you.
Nando and Roberto are extremely amazing. He did not let his friends keep suffering in the cold and die of starvation in those mountains. He and Roberto are the greatest heros that I have ever heard of. They are true champions. Any future after the future from that plane to freedom would be easy. I hope all stays well with Nando and his family forever.
One of the greatest survival stories of all time, amazing story rip to all the deceased.
No me canso de escuchar el relato de Don Fernando Parrado y otros sobrevivientes de esta tragedia. Todos son unos grandes!.
I have been in love with Nando Prado's story for decades. The movie "Alive!" is one of the very few that I cared enough to purchase. And when I got my dog, I wanted to give him a kind of exotic name. Then one day at work, I opened a file and it pertained to a gentleman named Fernando and that was it! My dog is named in honor of this hero.♥♥♥
dogs are soooo special
His name is NANDO PARRADO 💁🏻♀️
Nando, wow, what an amazing story! Now I see why God gave you a second chance: to inspire all of us. Thanks for sharing what you went through. Because of your story now I'll try to enjoy every breath that God gives me. God bless you!
Tenía 16 años cuando ocurrió la tragedia y hoy 26/10/2022 hace 50 años que sucedió el accidente y acabo de escuchar a Nando Parrado y siempre rescato algo desde que supe que estaban vivos (aunque yo presentía que estaban vivos, crease o no), he seguido su historia y la seguiré escuchando hasta el fin, no me aburre, todo lo contrario cada día aprendo más. Leí tres libros sobre ellos y el que más me gustó fue la Sociedad de la Nieve, increíble. además he escuchado a alguno de ellos en sus conferencias, su superación por todo lo que pasó es extraordinaria. Hasta les escribí en la página viven en el 2010 para contarles lo que yo había sentido y estaba en ese momento con una gran depresión y tuve la bendición que me contestaran Javier Methol y Coche Inciarte. Gracias a Nando por este video ya que venía medio bajón con todo lo que pasa y me diste fuerzas a pesar de todo.
Si hombre vos sabías que estaban vivos 🤣
Ejemplo de vida y de supervivencia. Abrazo desde México.

This is so inspirational as we get through this difficult time in the world.

I'll post this comment and come back here whenever i feel low in my life.
Excelente Parrado ,que se le pude decir ... genial y maravilloso su discurso de la realidad de su vida,. que sin dudas nos sirve y nos hace crecer 💖😇
Espectacular descripcion de alguien que logro sus cometidos a pesar de todos los inconvenientes que la vida le planteo. Gran ejemplo a seguir.

Nando Parrado...an EXTRAORDINARY motivator...communicator...team member...and man...I will always seek out his appearances and interviews...he has valuable insight and experiences...which hes willing to share❤🇨🇦
I don't feel like this forum does this amazing story justice.
Yo tenía 23 años cuando ocurrió esta tragedia. Cada vez que escucho a Nando Parrado es un momento de reflexión, una historia real de supervivencia y una organización de equipo admirable de valor y amor por la vida, para sobrevivir 72 días en los andes. Siempre miro y escucho esta historia varias veces como un recordatorio, un ayuda memoria de estar a 4000 metros de altura en el medio de la nada, sin agua ni comida y como sobrevivieron este grupo de muchachos, aún hoy a casi 49 años de este suceso me pone la piel de gallina por la prueba que pasaron. Mis respeto y admiración por el valor para superar esta prueba de vida y de salir a buscar ayuda de Nando y Roberto Canessa!!!! Siempre los recuerdo. La noticia que había sobrevivientes fue un milagro de Navidad.

This man gives a example to humanity ..example how to survive the worst time of your life ,,and never ever give up theres always a second chance ...god bless the this beloved man ..a true real life hero
I'm here in 2021....and WOW, what a wonderful man is Nando....incredible human being.
I remember when this happened and was all over the news. I have recently started reading and watching everything I can about this tragedy and find it more interesting than when it originally happened. As a young child, it didn't hit me like it hits me today. The sheer determination it took to get off that mountain was larger than life itself. I've always wondered, that if I were in that plane, would I have had what it took to survive? Would I have volunteered to make the journey with Mr. Parrado? I don't know the answer to that question and I would only know if something like this were to happen to me and I pray it never does. I would love to meet this man and shake his hand, as I believe he is a hero in the truest sense of the word.
There is a movie named ALIVE which was released in 1991 and inspired from this case.this movie shows how exactly they kept to life.I strongly recommend you all.
Fantastic speech and incredible real story narrated by a great speaker!!!!... Thanks Nando and Barney👍👍👏👏
A great human being.
Mr. Parrado is inspiring :)
An incredible story and a great example to fight for our lives.
You are truly amazing. Thank you for posting Nando!
Realmente Dios nos pone pruebas, pero a él Sr. Fernando le puso un Reto a ser cumplido y lo designo como el guía para salvar a sus amigos y hermanos de Sangre, Nieve, Coraje y determinación para seguir Vivos . IMPRESIONANTE Narración y Motivadora en cada frase. Todo lo Hecho fue VÁLIDO, no solo para que Vivan si no para darnos Lección de VIDA!!💚
What an amazing , courageous, intelligent man. I would love to see him speak.
Mr. Parrado and his fellow survivors have always been an inspiration to me with my life's challenges!
