#how a plane crash in the Andes inspired my calling to save lives

I’m reading Roberto Canessa’s book and I’m at chapter 7 where he mentions wearing the sweater his girlfriend gave him while stuck in the Andes and that he still has it to this day 😭❤️

Hi ☺️ I've recently found myself being super interested in the story of the tragedy/miracle of the andes (not sure how it's supposed to be called tbh) — do you maybe have some books to suggest that talk about that event? Possibly ones that have been translated into english or italian, because unfortunately... i don't know spanish 🙈 Thank you!

Hi! I'm very sorry for the delay.

The thing is, the Tragedy of the Andes is the sort of thing everybody here knows about, but not necessarily have read about it or can give you an extensive/intensive list?

That's me XD like, I remember stories my parents have told several times, like the psychic that told Páez Vilaró that his son was still alive, several weeks after the crash, and the shock at the news of their being found and the accidentally poetic "I come from a plane that fell on the mountain" quote. I haven't read about it, so I cannot recommend you anything first hand.

But Fernando Parrado and Roberto Canessa were, between the survivors, the most willing to talk about it since early on. Both gave lots of interviews (there used to be one on YT from... 1973? that was on a US tv program -they both were decent English speakers already- but the channel that uploaded it got nuked and it's lost).

Parrado wrote Miracle in the Andes: 72 Days on the Mountain and My Long Trek Home (2007), and Canessa, I Had to Survive: How a Plane Crash in the Andes Inspired My Calling to Save Lives (2016).

I know that Piers Paul Read's Alive was divisive between both survivors and """aficionados""". Some appreciate the thoroughness of the research, while others feel the account is morbid and laser focused on the material, mechanic aspect and underplaying the experiential/psychological/spiritual side. So on that one YMMV (that's the book the Alive! movie was adapted from).

That's all I can give :/
