[Revisited] The Miracle of the Andes: The story of a group of survivors of a plane crash in the Andes in 1972.

The Compendium Podcast

In this episode of The Compendium we revist an old favourit and one of our most popular episodes. We dive into the gripping and inspirational story of "The Miracle of the Andes", the crash of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 and the unimaginable circumstances that the survivors faced. We will be drawing on the 1974 book "Alive" by Piers Paul Read, which was written on behalf of the survivors and documents their remarkable journey.
What we love about this story is that it is not just a story about survival, but also about stepping up and banding together in the face of adversity. Together Kyle and Adam explore what happens when a plane crashes on a glacier and what it truly takes to survive when everyone has given up on you.
This story is a testament to the extraordinary things that people are capable of and how even in the most desperate situations, humanity can shine through.
