Había 45 personas en el avión que partió de Montevideo el 12 de octubre de 1972. Sobrevolaban Argentina cuando el piloto dijo: "Debemos aterrizar en el aeropuerto de Mendoza porque hace mal tiempo. No podemos ir hoy a Santiago de Chile". Pero al día siguiente, el clima empeoró, y cuando volaban sobre los Andes, que son las montañas más altas de América del Sur, el avión tuvo un accidente que mató a muchas personas.
"Intentarán encontrarnos", dijo Nando Parrado. Ellos esperaron. Llegaron tres aviones pero no los vieron. Más gente se estaba muriendo porque las noches eran extremadamente frías y solo tenían un poco de comida. Finalmente, Nando dijo: “Si nos quedamos aquí, todos vamos a morir. Voy a buscar a alguien que nos salve".
