Where are the Andes plane crash survivors?

Survivors of the 1972 Andes plane crash including Dr. Roberto Canessa amid a new Netflix movie "Society of the Snow" that recounts their ordeal including eating human flesh to stay alive.

A notorious real-life 1972 plane crash in the Andes is the inspiration behind the new Netflix adventure drama “Society of the Snow.”

The disaster happened on Oct. 13, 1972, when Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, which was carrying an Uruguayan rugby team from Montevideo, Uruguay, to Santiago, Chile, crashed into the Andes mountains, tearing off the plane’s wings and tail.

Twenty-nine of the plane’s 45 passengers died, but not right away: 33 survived the initial crash. Of that set, only 16 endured the area’s harrowing freezing temperatures, injuries and an avalanche.

The survivors were eventually forced to eat the flesh of the dead among them to stay alive over the 72 agonizing days before a rescue team reached them them.

What have the survivors said about the crash?
