In the first hours there was nothing, no fear or sadness, just a black and perfect silence.

Nando Parrado was unconscious for three days before he woke to discover that the plane carrying his rugby team, as well as their family members and supporters, to an exhibition game in Chile had crashed somewhere deep in the Andes. He soon learned that many were dead or dying—among t...more

Why bother reading Nando Parrado's book if you have already read 'Alive' right? After all, that book was written right after the event with extensive interviews with the 16 survivors and offers an accurate and detailed account of the events of that tragic crash sight portrayed in the 1993 Ethan Hawke movie 'Alive'?

WRONG! This book is simply amazing. Written thirty years after the crash Nando ruminates and expresses his emotions about those awful 72 days. There are many interesting po...more

Shelves: adventure-non-fiction

This was one of the most amazing survival stories I've ever read. What is most incredible is to listen to the author, in his own tone of voice, articulate the philosophy, values and behavior of this airplane accident high in the Andes. And then, from a perspective of over 30 years, hear him describe what he has learned and what is important to him. Lessons for us all.

AMAZING! I was somewhat taken by surprise by this book, which is the story of the personal account of the one survivors of the Andes plane crash in 1974. The author was an untested and somewhat spoiled young man in his 20's when his plane crashed in the mountains and he and his rugby teammates were left for dead. Their story was also told in "Alive", which is also a great book, but this story is less about the details of the crash and more about the author's personal journal out of the...more

Amazing! A first-hand account of the famous rugby team crash in the Andes in 1972. If you like what I call the Krakauer genre--you'll love this one! Very insightful! What goes through your mind when you realize you've survived a crash--but the search crews have given up and there is no way out of the mountains? How about the thought process behind the decision to eat the frozen flesh of your dead friends? This is one of the more powerful books I've read in a while. Stark look into the depths of...more

This book is a personal narrative written by a survivor of the 1972 plane crash into the Andes. This event was already well recorded in the book "Alive" and the movie with the same name. What you get: a very moving and personal story of surviving. Parrado lost his mother in the crash, had his sister dies in his arms and proceeded to after 60 days of fighting for his life, walked out of the Andes (with another survivor)to save himself and his fellow survivors.

This is the true story of the 1972 Andes plane crash. Nando Parrado was a young man traveling with his rugby team from Uruguay to Chile in 1972. Also on the charter flight were Nando's mother and younger sister, and several other friends and relatives of teammates, for a total of 44 passengers. When the flight encountered bad weather high in the Andes, the plane crashed into the side of the mountain. Many passengers died immediately, and the remaining survivors had to survive for several months on the bitterly cold, desolate mountainside (Parrado himself spent the first few days after the crash in a coma). When it became clear that a rescue party was not coming for them, Nando had to lead a small group of people through the Andes on a desperate search for help.

This is a remarkable story. By all rights, none of the 44 passengers should have survived the plane crash. When the plane hit the mountain, the wings and tail fell off and the fuselage of the plane careened violently down the slope of the mountain, so it's enough of a miracle that anyone was left alive after the crash itself. To survive on a glacier in the Andes for over two months is even more remarkable, especially considering that the survivors had no food, no cold weather clothing, and no survival training.

Parrado does an admirable job of recounting the story, especially when parts of it must be extremely painful to recall. The narrative moves along at a good pace, giving the reader plenty of background on the team and plenty of details covering their ordeal. A great deal of the material is somewhat sensitive, and Parrado manages to handle those sections with as much tact and dignity as possible. For instance, the most infamous aspect of the whole ordeal is how the survivors managed to live with no plant or animal life around them, and no food on the plane. The survivors only managed to live because they eventually turned to the bodies of their dead friends. Because the deceased had been buried in the snow, they were later able to dig them back up and use their bodies as a source of sustenance. This is obviously a really sensitive topic that could easily become sensational, but Parrado manages to convey that they did not come to this decision lightly. He doesn't dwell unnecessarily on the grisly details, but he also doesn't apologize for it. He rightly recognizes that without this decision, no one would have made it off the mountain.

The book as a whole is written in a very tactful, delicate fashion. Parrado is obviously keenly aware of the fact that everyone made mistakes during the ordeal, and he makes a point of not singling out any particular person as being a problem. If he's discussing certain members of the group as being less inclined to help with the day-to-day survival tasks, he makes sure to not mention any names. If he is discussing weaker moments of particular individuals, he is careful to point out that these were extraordinary circumstances, and if someone fell into despair, they should not be judged harshly for it. In some points I was not sure if Parrado was exercising some artistic license to avoid offending any friends (all of the 16 survivors of the crash are still alive and they're all still friends). It did seem that he was sometimes being overly diplomatic, but I don't feel like that seriously detracts from the book as a whole. (less)

I cannot tell you the emotions this book will bring you. This is a true story, an emotional account written by one of the survivors of a plane crash back in October 1972 in the Andes Mountains. Honestly, I had never heard of this before? Granted when the story unfolded I was merely 6 years old and even if over the many years that have transpired, if mention of it was on the news of an "anniversary", I had no recollection of the initial happening to make it memorable for me. Now...now, I will remember this story for the rest of my life.

Just a quick sentence or two of the overall tragedy. A plane, mainly carrying passengers that made up a Rugby team from Uruguay, was heading towards Chile. The weather conditions where not ideal and perhaps they shouldn't have taken off, either way, while over the Andes Mountains in literally blind conditions the unthinkable happened. The plane made contact and the tragedy quickly unfolds, this was October 13, 1972. There had been 45 passengers on the plane, 29 survived. There were varying degrees of injuries, some mere cuts and bruises, others had injuries so severe it was a waiting game until their final breathe.

The plane had been torn in parts, the weather at 11,000 feet was inhumane and unsurvivable, these people had no provisions. Their hopes were that rescuers would find them and soon. Days turned into weeks and as circumstances grew more dire so did hope of rescue. Seventy-two days later due to the determination of two men, Nando and Roberto who traversed time and distance as a last resort to either help rescue themselves and the remaining survivors or die trying, the sixteen remaining men were all brought to safety.

What this book details is from the perspective of one of those men, Nando Parrado. It is more than a factual account of what happened and how they survived, although you will be transported into some of those grisly and unimaginable details as you read. This is true human fear, despondency, hope, anger, drive, determination and all those things that when you have nothing else you still have love and that may be the last and only thing that you are living for - and it pulls you through.

Would I recommend this book! A definitive YES! It will leave you speechless and in awe.(less)

Yet, Nando Parrado's narrative uplifts the spirit with his candid, uninhibited reflections throughout and after the disaster.

In 1972, on Friday the 13th of October, a Uruguayan plane crashed in the mountains. If that wasn’t bad luck enough for the 29 who initially survived, the last message the pilot radioed was his false belief that they had passed Curicó, Argentina. Now the radio didn’t work, authorities had no idea where they went down, and the plane’s white roof blended in with the snow. At 12,000 feet altitude, sparse oxygen, sub-zero temperatures and a complete lack of animal or plant life compounded their probl...more

I watched the documentary "Stranded: I've Come From a Plane", and longed to know more. Perhaps I should have read "Alive!" instead, but I chose Nando's book for no good reason, probably a mistake. In fact, I think Nando assumes his readers will have read the earlier account. Nonetheless, it's an amazing story of determination in the har...more

Due to the crash, some passengers were immediately killed, some were badly injured, while others initially survived with barely a bruise or scratch. First they anxiously waited for their rescue. Dealing with cold weather, they were unprepared with light clothing and no food other than some rations of chocolate. I read Read’s book when I was a teenager with fanaticism.

Thirty years later, Nando Parrado wrote his story of the survival in his book, which was so interesting, it was difficult to put down. Nando had sustained a head injury in the crash and was unconscious for three days. But he felt that probably the cold air helped to start healing his wound.

His mother was one passenger who was killed during the crash. His sister Suzy survived for several days. Her injuries were massive and she was in constant pain and delirious. Nando tried to comfort her and keep her as warm as he could. But it upset him in knowing that he could not do anything for her pain and that if he were able to get her to a hospital, she would survive. After her inevitable death, Nando felt depressed. Having lost his mother and sister, his only real need to survive was to see his father again.

After days of no rescue, the survivors knew that they needed to do what they could to help themselves. They rationed their chocolate, and they worked as a team to come up with solutions for some of their problems. For instance, one of the ruby players saw that the plane’s seat cushions could be removed and they used them as light blankets to help keep them warmer. In the high attitude, the thin air was making the survivors thirsty. To keep themselves hydrated they constantly melted snow to drink.

They tried to explore ways to travel the mountains to get help. One crew of men explored this idea. But after only a few days, they returned looking like they aged to old men. More preparation was needed. Nando knew the survivors needed food and came to the rational conclusion that the dead bodies of their teammates and friends should be considered meat. As awful as it sounded, Nando knew that their friends’ death could help buy them time and give the survivors life while they tried to figure out how to get out of their predicament. They ate different parts of the bodies including the livers and hearts.

There was initially a lot of “meat” so the survivors agreed out of respect for Nando, not to touch his mother or sister Suzy unless things get desperate. As days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, they start to run low on this frozen meat.

Nando and other survivors twice explored the mountain again. And then on their second quest, they finally found help. When Nando gets to shower and see himself in a mirror, he is shocked by the view of his thin self, viewing his bones protruding from his skin.

Upon his return home, Nando discovers his father has sold or given away all of his things. His father thought he would never see his wife, son or daughter again. His lost was unbearable. Nando was able to confirm to his father the deaths of his mother and sister, but it was a bittersweet moment for his dad to see that Nando had survived the ordeal. Nando explained how much closer he became to his father after the tragedy, as they were able to share a separate bond over their lost. However, his father felt guilt that he could not protect his family and felt a sense of failure.

After reading this book, I may want to read “Alive” again in the future. Nando feels that it was love that kept him going. It was his need to see his father again. Nando married and had children and a successful small business, and learned to cherish life since you never know when it might be taken away.

Great book. I read another one beforehand on the Andes Flight Disaster; that one explains the tragedy in a neutral sense (i.e. mainly discussed the happenings on the mountain, very few emotive ties between characters and reader). That book was really an informative read. Here, there isn't just a recollection of events, but a first-person, survivor-to-reader kind of experience. There is more thought, more planning, more fear, more *emotion. Nando Parrado's bravery and strength shine all the way t...more

This true story was amazing, very well written, gripping, and it leaves you counting your blessings. I was hesitant to start this book because it was non-fiction but it turned out to be an intense read, starting with a plane crash, leading to the survivors eating their friends, then to their amazing hike out. Miracle in the Andes is truly a book that leaves you thinking about teamwork, love, and determination.
Nando slowly takes you through those terrifying mountains with each day and major event or loss. The setting starts with a team of Uruguayan rugby players flying on a plane towards Chile. But the flight is delayed because of bad weather. The story begins with the crash. This team of rugby players in their early 20’s have to survive, hanging onto the hope that people are coming. As the story progresses, the food rations begin to get low, and their only hope to survive is to eat the flesh of the dead. Nando makes you shudder and sends chills down your back. He puts you through this grisly account of what happened so vividly that you can’t help but feel like you’re there as well. One of the most devastating moments in the book is when they are listening to the radio and they hear that the rescue team has given up, thinking that all of the people on the plane must be dead. Left to die in the middle of one of the coldest peaks, on their own, knowing that no one is coming, they begin to plan their escep, sending two of the healthiest men down. After reading about this journey, I am still shocked that this team has lived to tell the tale. Nando Parrado is now 62 years old with two daughters and a wife, after a very adventerous life.
In conclusion, this book is amazing and should be read by all. If you are hesitant, try it out! Everyone who reads it will definitely have a different perspective on life after reading this captivating book. (less)

Quotes from Miracle in The Andes

“You are angry at the God you were taught to believe in as a child. The God who is supposed to watch over you and protect you, who answers your prayers and forgives your sins. This God is just a story. Religions try to capture God, but God is beyond religion. The true God lies beyond our comprehension. We can't understand His will; He can't be explained in a book. He didn't abandon us and He will not save us. He has nothing to do with our being here. God does not change. He simply is. I don't pray to God for forgiveness or favors, I only pray to be closer to Him, and when I pray, I fill my heart with love. When I pray this way, I know that God is love. When I feel that love, I remember that we don't need angels or a heaven, because we are a part of God already.” — 3 people liked it

“I had always thought that life was the actual thing, the natural thing, and that death was simply the end of living. Now, in this lifeless place, I saw with a terrible clarity that death was the constant, death was the base, and life was only a short, frgile dream. I was dead already. I had been born death, and what I thought was my life was just a game death let me play as it waited to take me. . .

Death has an opposite, but the opposite is not mere living. It is not courage or faith or human will. The opposite of death is love. How had I missed that? How does anyone miss that? Love is our only weapon. Only love can turn mere life into a miracle, and draw precious meaning from suffering and fear. For a brief, magical moment, all my fears lifted, and I knew that I would not let death control me. I would walk through the godforsaken country that separated me from my home with love and hope in my heart. I wouuld walk until I had walked all the life out of me, and when I fell I would die that much closer to my father.” — 3 people liked it
