  <default_description>&lt;p&gt;On October 12, 1972, a plane carrying a team of young rugby players crashed into the remote, snow-peaked Andes. Out of the forty-five original passengers and crew, only sixteen made it off the mountain alive. For ten excruciating weeks they suffered deprivations beyond imagining, confronting nature head-on at its most furious and inhospitable. And to survive, they were forced to do what would have once been unthinkable ... &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This is their story -- one of the most astonishing true adventures of the twentieth century.&lt;/p&gt;</default_description>
