My Plane Crashed And I Survived 72 Days In The Andes | Minutes With

Thank you to Carlitos for sharing his story. Society of the Snow is available on Netflix now!

The two guys that saw endless miles of mountains and chose to continue on even if it meant nearly certain death are some of the most courageous men in history

The fact that he played his own father in the movie is so awesome.

I’m so lucky to understand Spanish and English because the way this man tells stories is incredible. Even with humor. What an amazing story

Parrado lost his mother and sister but still had the strength, will power and mindset to find help and rescue everybody. Paired with Roberto who was also strong willed and willing to trek mountains with him knowing death was facing them is wow. No words can describe how incredible everybody is who survived.

The guys that saw mountains and mountains and continued walking into the abyss have some guts!

Forget the books written and movies made that you may have seen. This survivor's telling of the story IS the truest, most heartbreaking felt/spiritual narrative that will ever be told.

This man is an exquisite storyteller, I love when he says "the next time you see a helicopter, you'll think of me" pure joy

"You have to start with that which is necessary, then move on to that which is possible, to achieve the impossible". New lesson learned.

This guy is a fantastic storyteller. What they all did to survive was spectacular, but what Canessa and Parrado did crossing the Andes while severely malnourished with cobbled together gear is the ultimate example of the human desire to survive. I can't imagine the relief from the survivor's families, and the double heartbreak of the family members whose relatives did not survive.

i found out about this crash wayyyyy before becoming a flight attendant and it never left me. When I started training for my airline, they presented us several accidents and incidents, this one included. It shocked everyone and I was so surprised that none of my training mates knew about it, because to me it's the most horrifying story in aviation i've ever heard of. And whenever people ask me "aren't you scared to crash one day?" i think to myself that i'm not scared of crashing. I'm scared of surviving a crash.

The movie deserves an oscar. That was one hell of a story. God bless all the survivors.

I can't image seeing people die around you and then hearing the search to rescue you has been called off. The strength physical and emotional the survivors showed is incredible

His final message is so incredibly valid for those who are facing their own 'mountains' and challenges, myself included!

"Anyone of you here filming and interviewing now could have been part of this story. It is not about my personal triumph, it is about human triumph." Man survived such catastrophe with unbelievable will and extraordinary display of survival skills and yet shows grace and humility by not glorifying his heroic role in the story which he truly deserves to boast about. Take a bow! Lots to learn about life and how to live it from these 30 mins.

How incredible that those two guys hiked so far, for so long with hardly any food or resources, and saved everyone. What a story

"I invite people to look back at their own mountains" what an amazing man to end this interview with this love sent out to us all.

it is AMAZING how he recalls how spoilled he was and how much fury he felt for loosing the window seat. There is SO MUCH to reflect about in just this detail. I cherish that he was so truthful about it. When you see this story told in an Holllywood movie - it lacks this sort of real life toughts of petiness. He and the others are a miracle that has no explanation and to this day - their decision - kept them here and made them persue life in a total different way (from the spoilled path one could have easily follow into). PS: I pray too. I suspect we all do in such times - even not religious people.

As a person who struggles with depression, his words are so helpful and powerful.

As a native Spanish speaker, I think I should say this: he is such a wonderful storyteller. The images, descriptions, and metaphors he is using here are so vivid. The subtitles are fine but are no match to how well-spoken Carlitos is.
