Thank you to Carlitos for sharing his story. Society of the Snow is available on Netflix now!
Thank you, Lads for interviewing Carlitos. The plane crash in the Andes is a story that hits very close here in Argentina. We love our brothers from Uruguay and seeing this makes us happy
really great movie!
Thank you for the interview!! Carlitos, your story has always taught me not to quit. I used it when I joined the Army while on deployment, and during other events in life. Your story is one of the greatest ever told, thank you for helping me through out my life! ✌🏾❤️
ALIVE was amazing. They did an awesome job with Society of the Snow. Its one of those remakes that didnt need to be done but the fact they did it so well, i'll let it slide..
Hey, I´m bilingual and I work as an interpreter. I really like that he is doing the interview in his native language, but be careful with the subtitles. "it´s a more rationalized thing" was translated as "It´s an all consuming hunger", and that´s only one of many errors. I know story telling is tricky to translate, but do not put words in his mouth and you should have a licenced professional doing a review asap.
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
Legendary and so strong!
When I saw it in the movie I spoke out loud saying "Those men are made of something else."
@@Jblain7 When I saw that in the movie I said out loud: Here is where I would quit, looking at all those mountains and realizing you are already dead. And they went on to survive
It was only 40 miles before they made contact with some cowboys, they could see the valley from the summit of the first mountain they climbed....
Fernando (Nando) and Roberto, you have my respects. Because they decided to continue for themselves and for those who could not survive. Numa gave them the encouragement, the courage and everything they needed to make that decision that drove them to reach the other side of those immense mountains.
The fact that he played his own father in the movie is so awesome.
Can you tell me which part in the Movie?
@@LinaosaurWHATTTTTTT?!?!?! I finished the movie earlier today. This is truly shocking 😭
@@linkanebraska6235 The man who said the survivors list on the radio
What lol?.
I didn't know it. Thanks. @@irunekagi
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
Yeah, tbh he reminds me of my grandpa, a great storyteller with similar vibes, so in a way this watching and listening to him feels cozy. They were friends too but I never met Carlitos
Exactly what I thought. The way he speaks is so captivating
I find the subtitles fairly useful since I'm trying to learn the language. Can get bits and pieces of what he's saying but it's riveting.
@@Fledermausmann of course! He also uses “modismos” or slang that is from Uruguay which I didn’t know so I’m thankful for the subtitles. I learned Spanish in Mexico. It’s quite amazing how it changes almost every 500km
Claro que sí 🤗
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.
A él lo impulsaba el deseo de volver a ver a su padre porque imaginaba al pobre hombre habiendo perdido a su mujer y sus dos hijos. Nando quería llegar a decirle que él había sobrevivido, que le quedaba 1 hijo.
Tremendo.
He lost his mother and sister, he had a skull fracture causing him to remain in a coma for 3 days, he lost his two best friends, he spent more than 2 months at -°30 with cold, hunger and thirst, and even so he had the strength to travel the Andes with Roberto Cannesa for 10 more days looking for help and when he found it, he returned by helicopter to indicate where the fuselage was and save everyone.
fucking hero@@vixio_yax
Parrado ha dicho en varias entrevistas que el saco esa fuerza de voluntad porque le hacia ilusión poder llegar hasta su padre y decirle que estaba vivo ,cuando por fin lo hizo se dio cuenta que todo había cambiado ya que el padre había vendido todas sus pertenecias y ya se encontraba con otra mujer a este duelo parrado lo considera como "mi segunda cordillera".
Amazing
The guys that saw mountains and mountains and continued walking into the abyss have some guts!
Indeed! And to think that Parrado had lost his mother in the crash and later on his sister. He got so lucky because he suffered a broken skull and the others had assumed he would die, but hypothermia protected him from brain damage
When he said they decided to just walk I said WHY!! It seemed absurd to me. But then I read that they found another men ten days later
@juliuscaesar7795 they only had 2 options: to come back and die on the site of the crash, or to keep going and probably die on the way, but that option gave them the possibility of finding somebody who could help them.
To keep going was the best option. At least that gave them 1 chance to survive, if they were lucky enough to find somebody before dying.
staing foot @@juliuscaesar7795 would be certain death. Another avalanche could take care of that. It was just another trial they continued fighting for life. That's the lesson. They got rescue on the 22 of december. No one was there to know if there was another avalanche on the 25th. But another would happen. Its nature. Up until spring. The river must have been a sight of hope and fortunately, there are men that like to live in such areas. And they were spoted.
@pennylane6185 every time I remember this I can't believe, the others thinking he died was the thing that saved him, if they hadn't thought he was dead, they wouldn't have put his head right over the snow
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.
Yeah but no mention of how they are their friends
*books by the survivors
@@TheLoxxxton I think you did nt watch the whole video.. That reality was spoken about in length and in context of survival.
He is a cannibal.
I met his dad years ago, and my heart went out to him and the family for what they had gone through collectively, to hear the heart break, devastation, the fact that those kids had to make those decisions to survive was so sad. It truly teaches you that the lengths one needs to go to survive.
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
He is. Research about Carlos Páez Vilaro (artist) and Casapueblo in Punta del Este. This was his father. So famous and humble at the same time.
That's just a common phrase in Spanish, he is a very good storyteller nevertheless.
Fr
I recommend the 2008 documentary (Stranded! The Andes Plane Crash Survivors) it is posted here on KRplus, it has original audio in Spanish but with English subtitles, for me it is the best documentary of all those that have already been produced, I even like it More than the two films, many of survivors are on the interview, and there is much more richness of detail about what was experienced, especially when they talk about the experience, that several of them lived during the avalanche, highly recommended material, greetings from Uruguay !!!
"You have to start with that which is necessary, then move on to that which is possible, to achieve the impossible". New lesson learned.
Que frase más bella de San Francisco de Asís ✝️, hay que vivirla
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.
O.o Well, the longest living tribes, many of today's record-breaking athletes, most of the Greek Gladiators and strongest Romans, basic anatomy, and the top health studies show that a plant-based is superior, and at the very least, a vegetarian diet is still better than eating meat. The soil levels of today are horrible in most areas, so the lack of vitamins for everyone is really bad, especially for most people that don't consume much veggies, and fruits (only about 9% of Americans consume enough fruits and veggies a day). Mockups are superior, but obviously he probably didn't know how to make any. Watch The Game Changers doc, check out the largest health study ever done, The China Study, What The Health doc, and so forth.
@@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunkedthey were surrounded by nothing but snow for over 40 miles around. There are no plants
you might be the most delusional person I have ever seen@@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked
@@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked you're delusional, olympic level athletes in any sports eat mainly meat because it's far more superrior to plant based foods, you don't have clue what are you talking about. Greek gladiators also were slaves who ate the most trashy food for humans.
@@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunkedwhats the point of this stupid comment ive seen it a couple times now by you. Irrelevant to this comment and it was irrelevant to the other one. You commented on the wrong video i think lmao
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.
Yah ur right that is scarier
Humans can survive up to 2 months without food (or way longer, depending on the circumstances). That’s the worst part to me; 72 days is doable, although I’ve heard stories of people eating each other after only a few days. If only people knew that once you get past hunger, you stop being hungry and your body starts using its own (stored up) resources instead. The only requirement is lots of water, more than usual, which they had.
I agree to this line "I'm not afraid of crashing, I'm scared of surviving a crash"
@@whengrapespop5728
That's what I was thinking. Anyone who has fasted knows that after the third or fourth day you forget about food, something switches in the body and then you don't even feel like eating again when it's time to end the fast...
@@MurielWilson-np5lgmakes no sense lol.. I’m scared of not surviving and leaving my kids alone ! Fk you mean
The movie deserves an oscar. That was one hell of a story. God bless all the survivors.
They made one in 1992 Alive. Viven
Sadly that movie isnt truthful to what actually happened. And has differences with the actual story.
@@Alwayspiano-do3ts that movie is not completely accurate... they changed some scenarios, changed peoples names and even the names from the ones who died! the movie isn't even in Spanish so it's not the same because a lot of things they say in the movie have more meaning in Spanish, coming from Uruguayans.... anyway.. i recommend watching Society of the Snow because the director reached out to the survivors to make the story more accurate and to make tribute to the ones who died
@@laorlenWow I didn’t know this, I saw Alive a long time ago so I don’t really remember much but I did recently see Society of Snow, what an incredible movie, it was so well done and yes I appreciate that it was in Spanish, it felt more realistic to me.
@@TheRedRaven_ glad to hear that! ☺
How incredible that those two guys hiked so far, for so long with hardly any food or resources, and saved everyone. What a story
And we know nothing about that trip. They didn't show us in the movie .
@@zlight7496 Yes, they were gone 10 days. I wanted to see more
So they didn't sleep for 10 days?
@@zimskasalamaa I'm sure they tried to sleep at night, and they were hiking down to warmer temperatures. You can't go that long without rest
@@jj-if6it but how would they sleep in the open in the cold? 🤔
His final message is so incredibly valid for those who are facing their own 'mountains' and challenges, myself included!
@@robertfonovic3551 me too! Amen!
Carlitos Paez (this man) wrote a book called "Mi segunda cordillera" (my second mountain range). And i (like uruguayan), i recommend the book "La Sociedad de la nieve" (The society of Snow). It's even more brutal than de movie.
Personally, this movie in this moment of my life, it's like a self-help movie.
I'm very proud of being uruguayan.

I’ve seen the huge cross on top off the mountains when I was flying from uk to Greece .crazy sight
@@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunkedI wonder if you have any bias
"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.
It’s because he’s Uruguayan. I feel like my grandpa is telling me this story. We find humor in everything. I’ve never been more proud to be Uruguayan born and raised. I of course always knew this story but now that EVERYONE knows this happened to US is ugh amazing.
You have all the reasons to be proud of this legacy of heroes from your country! I am sure it runs in Uruguayan blood :)
dude he ate people, if he wasn't humble he'd be Jeffrey Dahmer
@@francismarion6400 Jeffrey Dahmer ate people because he enjoyed the act of cannibalism. He was a sick man, sick in the head.
These men didn't have another option other than eating their friends to survive. Being humble is not something they even have the gall to boast about, because their brains developed differently than Dahmer's did.
See the difference?
Being humble doesn't mean shit when your survival instincts take over your rationality. You just don't think about it at the time.
@@francismarion6400Well, no. His case was a matter of survival.
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
Humans. You have it to. That's the message to take from this. The triumph of the human spirit.
"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.
Ik i wish there was more character development in the movie for all of them not just Numa. His story was very valuable as well, I just wish they also portrayed things like this bc i feel like we got to see so few of a lot of the other characters stories. I wish they would have done kind of a multiple perspectives thing
@@ariarias3938I think it's just the limitation that a movie have.
They had to despict 70 days of tragedy in a 2h film. I think they did really well at portraying individual emotions, but there's just too much to show.
The survivors are very happy with the film :)
It was also his rich father whom sent the rescue helicopter..
@@Hugo_Navarro_ I totally understand , i am by no means saying i thought the movie was bad but i really just want to hear all their stories. I think the director had a great vision and it was so beautiful, I just wish there was a movie that had all their perspectives. Also i am so happy to hear the survivors thought it did them justice! That is very heartwarming, usually in Hollywood that is not the case, so im glad they’re happy after all they went through.
What a gifted storyteller, his greatest role was not the barricading nor the sleeping bag, but being the one to share this to the world. beautifully told!
this was scripted...
@@gd-ft7lki don’t think so
scripted by him this is clearly his story in his words
It's kinda scripted cause he probably told this story multiple times but it's scripted BY HIM. It's his words.@@gd-ft7lk
read the description next time
The way he paints such a clear picture after all these years, even remembering the guys by their full name and the roles they played. Some of the best story telling I have heard and truly remarkable to be alive today to tell such a tale that seems something straight out of a movie.
They are still friends :)
he is an artist
idk why but Uruguayans just have this skill at storytelling, i guess because they grew up with great literature
They are still friends all of them to this day.

I clicked on the video purely out of morbid curiosity, and instead I found an incredible story of resilience and hope, which left me with a beautiful message. Thanks for sharing it with us.
As a person who struggles with depression, his words are so helpful and powerful.
Bro keep going,you gonna make it just as me 🙏
I struggle with depression too and the survivors of the crash are inspiring me to face life differently. I encourage you to look up more interviews from other survivors. It gives you a lot to think about and their stories are priceless. Stay safe, dear ❤❤
What an amazing man and inspiration for so many. We can never imagine how much courage these young men had , to get through that tragedy. Stray strong brother.
It comes to mind every moment we have of depression and then we hear this and understand so much better the path to take is the reverse one! Always look at life half ful. Positively. Hour ancesteurs did the same- no matter the issues they faced. And they were so many!!
Only in more recent years, with technology development - we started to be more "depressed". Why? Because we don't move, we live smaller lives... in a way that we don't need to hunt for our food, shop wood to burn for heat, to make our clothes, and we live in a society with rules and norms that sometimes provide better for the evil ones than for the good ones. Many reasons but... look into your heart, feel life as they felted - and go for it. When falling from the horse, get up again. Remember: they felt out a plaine and never ever ever gave up on surviving.
Same here, you are not alone. Roberto Canessa said: "human beings, over complicated things". Let the depression be part of yourself. Slowly it will become less and less important. Hope the best for you👍👍
No theatrics. No visuals. Just words.
I have never been so moved, had so much respect... or rather so much commemoration for the hopefulness they were able to foster and nuture in such horror. I cannot possibly comprehend the strength it took to survive. This is lesson that should be in every classroom.
"It is an epic story of ordinary human beings ... It's not about my personal triumph, it's about human triumph."
Especially being a coddled kid as he said he was.. his dad was a famous artist and seems he had a nanny as well.. growing up in a perfect world and crashing into Hell is practically biblical
All of them were rich kids, they were from a very expensive place here in Montevideo, Uruguay, they had no idea what to do without a nanny or a cleaning lady, so the fact that 16 young boys survived this situation is impressive @@izzydeadyet7336
Same here, this made me cry.

I’m from Uruguay and this is a well known story here. I’ve always been fascinated about the resilience and how much they wanted to live, glad to know the world is giving them the recognition they deserve.

I'm 100 % sure that everyone in the Andes know this story. I was about 8 years old when I first heard it and I was totaly amazed by the strenght, courage and willness of these people. Now I'm 35 and I admire them much more. I like to think that my country, Chile, is bounded to yours by this tragic incident for the rest of time, just like Sergio Catalán is to Nando Parrado and Roberto Canessa and of course all the survivors.
It's a well-known story in the whole world. The movie is a blockbuster.
Mmm no sé hablás inglés jj
Saludos amigo uruguayo
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.
Tienes razón, pero es extremadamente difícil entender el acento uruguayo para mi, pero mi lengua materna no es español.
I get the feeling this guy walks through life gifting wisdom.
He does
They do, they came to my school 17 years ago (I'm from Uruguay) to give a talk, about how much we have and we don't realize etc etc
@@mayrabuxareo3912 que envidia! Hace un par de años atendí a Carlitos Paez en una estación de servicio y después a las dos semanas me lo encontré en punta del este y se acordaba de mi 😭 un tipo muy crack

And recipes
I just finished watching the movie a couple of days ago. I can't imagine the emotions they must've felt when they watched the film for the first time, since it's like activating the trauma all over again. Their fight against nature is truly an honorable story.
There is a very good series which isn't based on this directly but takes inspiration from it and does very well. It's called Yellowjackets
@@nochannel1276I need to catch up, I've barely got to start season 2 because life turned upside down and I haven't had the time or energy to pay attention unfortunately
I just finished the movie too and my heart sank when they heard the search was called off after 10 days. I can’t imagine how sickening and devastating that had to of been. Also the back to back avalanche, they couldn’t get a break. I don’t know how they didn’t die from the cold or how the 2 boys were able to travel for 10 days through the Andes to save their brothers. Surviving the plane crash alone would be terrifying. 72 days! Absolutely mind blowing.
I was about to say this should be made into a movie. It is such an incredible story of hope and survival.
@@nochannel1276I tried watching that show but I didn’t like it.
Anyone who has flown over or near the Andes can attest to the fact that it looks ENDLESS. Walking off to the west from somewhere unknown inside the Andes is just incredible.
Flew over the Andes in a rickety ass plane in 2011 and hit some EXTREME turbulence. Fully agree that the Andes look and feel endless when you’re flying above them. I’m not a nervous or scared flyer but I’ve never been so scared and shaken (emotionally and physically) in my life. Can’t say that I’d willingly fly over them again
@@melissabieber2439 LOL wow in an unstable aircraft it sounds like hell.
I’m here searching KRplus for something to distract me from my most recent loss, fighting off the mountain of depression ahead of me when I come across this video.

@@verity_joy very well said!
We all have our own mountains. Don't compare, however u can be inspired & cross your mountain with faith & hope.
Spanish is such a beautiful language there is no way you could tell the bittersweet story in English with the same impact. What a group of warriors
Fr, it's not the same to listen to it in Spanish as in English. The slangs that Carlitos uses make it more entertaining to listen to him.
It is, but as someone who had to read the subtitles, he made me laugh and cry several times, still.
It’s called rioplatense, not just any Spanish ❤
Idk man, Vietnamese is pretty angelic
English is for businesses
German for military
French to speak to women
Spanish to speak with God
Japanese for Otakus with no real life
After seeing the movie "Society of the Snow" I searched for interviews and there was this one with 8 of the survivors in Spanish and one of them said that if it wasn't because they trusted each other, because they all knew each other, they cared for each other they wouldn't have made it as far. With how human beings can be and being complete strangers, no one really would make it
Medical student here who shares the same birthday as you. What you said about looking back to look forward is really true. We definitely don't do that enough. We're so focused on moving forward we often forget to appreciate how far we have come. I know I do that a lot. Also, for anyone reading this, don't forget to give yourself credit for the things you accomplish. There's a past version of you who is dreaming of being where you are now.

Love this
You're right. Just yesterday I made my first comment on r/depression on Reddit. A man was in the process of committing suicide and he posted all he had been through. I commented that he should still pursue life so as to not give those who had destroyed him the pleasure that they wanted. I told him my story of abuse. After posting my comment I suddenly realised just how far I have come in life despite all the hurdles. I do deserve credit, I just never realised that. Onwards and upwards. Thank you for your advice.
reading this teary eyed , thanks
That last sentence really really hit me. I’ve been so down lately cause of financial issues but you know what. Back 10 years ago even 5 years… I didn’t have ANYTHING no job living with my parents just being a slob not doing anything with myself. And now I have a house, a wife, a 2 year old son and 3 wonderful step kids (wife’s kids) I have much more than I thought I’d ever have. And the one thing that I cherish the most is family.
Ty for the last sentence.
"There are more of us now than there were on that plane" I can't stop crying after that quote.
I live in the same neighborhood of these men that survived, I know the story since I'm a kid, as well as the survivors. In that part where they walked to seek rescue, Parrado and Canessa had to sleep together, hugging each other to stay warm and not freeze to death, in stories they share, they speak of how in that extreme situation, they're minds got so streatched out of ordinary thinking, that they literally became like 1 person, when they slept hugging each other, they speak of how their identities literally dissolevd, and they were like 1 organism trying to survive, hugging each other and interlocking into the most compact position, in the impossible freezing cold, an ordeal that simply cannot be imagined. They were operating in such a survival instinct way, and unlike other situations where you might uncover some selfish and bizarre insticts that make you betray the other to survive, in this situation of extreme cold, the opposite happened, they knew that if the other died, they would die. They speak of how they were not thinking about getting to the goal, their only goal, was lifting one foot and putting it infront of the other, each step was an ordeal.
He's quite possibly the most incredible story teller. His analogies are impeccable.
The thumbnail for this is disrespectful, please change it.
I am learning Spanish and my tutor told me to watch a Spanish speaking movie with English subtitles...thats why I clicked on this movie on Netflix......I had no idea the gift I would receive 😭💕😭💕😭💕😭💕😭💕😭💕 this movie left me in a bucket of tears.
I will probably literally watch this over and over until I am able to understand it without substitles....this movie is so heartbreaking and inspring and shocking.....the endurance that exists inside of them is nothing short of divine!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Indeed, the subtitles are slightly different from what they’re actually saying in a number of places
@@maguifran22 Hi! I found that in many places, the Netflix translations were somewhat lacking.
@@maguifran22 Por ejemplo, cuando el piloto dice, "Que Dios los acompane," los traducciones de Netflix dicen, "God be with you." But that is a very American or "English" thing to say. What he's really saying is "May God be with you."
I will be back with more accurate translations if I watch it again.
@@davidholaday2817 It's true. They translate this way to adapt it to the most typical and easy-to-understand way of those who speak English. When they translate things from English to Spanish they do the same thing. They change many sentences. Even the movie titles. In one language it is a title and in another country they see it with a different title.
I'm so happy at this moment of being Spanish and being able to listen this story directly from him, because the way he speaks and the words he chooses to use have reached my heart. ❤

Watched the movie last week with my husband and as we were watching it I kept thinking there was no way anyone could actually survive anything like that in real life. After the movie was over I looked it up and realized it was based on a true story. Absolutely amazing how they survived the impossible. I appreciate Carlitos sharing his story for this video and his inspiring words at the end.
The ending hit me so hard that I'm in tears. Never have I ever heard such motivational words from anybody in my life. Thank you to Carlitos and all of the survivors.
Ah yes, this one is an extra special story in my life. I come from an extremely abusive family. When I was 5, my mother sat reading the book about this story called "Alive". She was reading it on a Sunday afternoon and my father saw her, went crazy because he was working in the garden and she wasnt. He took the hard cover book and broke it numerous times over my mothers head. She later returned a destroyed hard cover book to the library and apologised to the librarian. Many years later I read the book, watched the movie and now have listened to a survivor. This story has meant a lot to me in my life. It has followed me through many stages in my life. I will do my best to take his advice that he offers in the end of the video. A story that has a huge history in my life. Thank you to all in the book Alive and to Carlitos in this video.
Im sorry 😞
I don’t know why but the hardest experiences always happens to best human beings, love and light to you 🙏🏻✨
I'm sorry brother
and how is your mother and you doing eversince? hope everything turned out better❤
This last movie is based on a book of the same name, written by a friend of the survivors, it is much more detailed than the movie in case you are interested
You made me cry 🥺, I hope you have a beautiful life for now on ❤
WOW! Hearing these young kids at the time in their first year of study taking up their passions and knowledge to come together to provide resources to one another to survive amazing.
WOW! I hung onto this man’s every word! 30 minutes have NEVER gone by so fast for me. This was truly one of the most incredible and inspiring stories I’ve EVER heard. I thank God for his mercy on this man’s life, as well as on the other survivors, and I’m thankful, so much, to this man for sharing his story. I don’t think I’ll ever be the same🥹🙏🏾❤️.
I recommend the 2008 documentary (Stranded! The Andes Plane Crash Survivors) it is posted here on KRplus, it has original audio in Spanish but with English subtitles, for me it is the best documentary of all those that have already been produced, I even like it More than the two films, many of survivors are on the interview, and there is much more richness of detail about what was experienced, especially when they talk about the experience, that several of them lived during the avalanche, highly recommended material, greetings from Uruguay !!!!
Such an eloquent man,I'm obsessed with this story.Such a story of resilience and human spirit.How Dr Roberto Canessa and Nando Perrudo walked out over those mountains is miraculous
Likely the single most amazing parts of the ordeal is those two with zero experience and equipment walking down those mountains.

Perrudo jajaja Parrado
Nando Parrado
Right!
STANDING OVATION ... 👏🙌 what an absolute legend and inspiring messages
"Start with what's necessary and the impossible will follow." AmaZing.
I am from Uruguay and this is such a tragedy but we all feel proud because the values and fundamentals of these men are definitely a lesson for all of us
It’s crazy how he had a sudden feeling that the two guys had made it and then one of the others said he dreamt that they made it.
By the grace of God
You mean the same God who didn't stop the plane from crashing, didn't help the search crew to spot the debris and didn't stop an avalanche from killing a couple more survivors?
@@kwarsha yyyeah. not to be a dick but I'm a little tired of these Christians saying it's God's doing, like, no the fuck it ain't. 😭 God is not real, he's never performed any miracles for people who've prayed and begged, and the only reason these men survived was because of pure dumb luck and having to make life-changing decisions.
@@kwarsha Kwarsha, your response indicates an inner curiosity you have to seek the truth. Just as God is real, so is Satan. However there is no need to fear, God always wins in the end. That is precisely why this gentleman was alive until today to tell this story. God wants you to know that despite what you believe now, he will always have your seat available for you whenever you are ready. He loves you tremendously, and encourages you to seek him. He wants to make sense of your pain, He wants to help you achieve that inner peace and happiness you’ve always longed for. I will say a prayer for you ❤
Just no. god is just in your brain. The fact that some stories have survivors doesn't change the other horrifying happenings. And then some stories have no survivors or redeemable characters. You are mistaking God for Good. Good is something that belongs only to life, especially humans. It is not a universal thing. Things are not good or bad by themselves, they just are. We decide what we consider good or bad. Just like We wrote the bible. All the ideas in it are Human, like God, which is just an idea.@@annaess3844
impecable, Carlitos. Tan bien narrado que da escalofrío. Me acuerdo cuando era chica y mamá nos contaba esta historia. En el 88 fuimos a Buenos Aires y visitamos una exposición de tu papá. Compramos algunas láminas y el me dedicó una con una paloma de la paz que hoy cuelga en mi living en Alemania. Esta historia es una en un millón.
Aún me cuesta creer como pudieron hacer lo imposible por sobrevivir incluso después de escuchar la noticia de que habían dejado de buscarles. En ese momento, cualquiera se hubiera rendido y esperado a morir. También fue increíble como Roberto y Nando siguieron hacia delante después de subir la montaña y ver el trayecto tan largo que les quedaba. Sin duda es una locura lo que vivieron en la montaña
everyone's already said it, but this man is an absolutely incredible storyteller. i only understand English, but i could tell that he put so much thought into each and every word of this retelling, with humility and humor to boot. and to be so humble to say that all that he went through - all that pain, suffering, loss, and horror - was not *his* personal success story but humanity's success story. these 16 men are the truest representations of the indomitable human spirit in the world.
society of the snow was an incredible film, but nothing can ever represent this better than the survivors who worked to survive to be able to tell their own story
Thank you Carlitos for sharing your story and for those that criticize what they did by eating human flesh, I guarantee you, you would have done the same in such a dire situation. It’s so easy to judge when You can’t even begin to imagine what they went through.
No-one's criticising them.
I wasn't aware that anyone nowadays would still criticize them.
Trolls, certainly
I mean they literally had no other choice unfortunately.
@@r4h4alThey did, mostly when it recently happened, media was hard on them
A very humble and kind man. I am thankful he made it out alive.
I know how much courage this had to take, but the man is a born story teller. i could listen all day
He takes that story from that part of his life and makes it the most profound lesson for all of humanity. I want to hug that man. What a beautiful person.
things like this make you realise that we dont know what a problem really is, the next time i think i have nothing i will remember carlitos story
"Facebook is in turmoil with people having heated arguments over which way round you put the roll of toilet paper"
team work was one of the keys on why they have survived. salute to these gentlemen!!!
No ad roll, very few questions from the interviewer. Limited editing. Wonderful story telling. Really enjoyed this video! This is one of the better things I've seen on KRplus.
The absolute honesty he has is amazing. How many people would admit to being Spoiled n furious to not get the seat u wanted . Amazing individual with such great story telling skills. This is one extremely wise man
Im 28 I live paycheck to paycheck and I live on my own and with the cost of living these days plus having to pay your rent/bills it is very hard and at the end of paying everything I’d be lucky to have $93 left it’s super hard to make $93 last 2 weeks especially when u need gas to get to work I literally live off a loaf of bread and a pack of sandwich meat and water but after watching society of the snow and researching these guys story I realize how fortunate I am even just to have running water and living off sandwiches everyday cause I can’t afford anything else I’m still very fortunate and blessed I can say right now that there is no way I would have been able to endure what these brave people went through it’s not in me to eat a dead persons body I can say right now that I would rather just die. These brave people have the strongest will ever and they did what it took to survive this is just a super crazy story it’s hard for a regular person living normal everyday life to wrap there minds around
I just watched Society Of The Snow yesterday and it enthralled me from start to finish, personally I think it deserves an Oscar if it gets nominated for best Foreign Language Picture. What is so well done about the movie is that it makes you feel like you are with them the whole way and it puts you in their shoes to give you an idea of the type of desperation these people lived through, every night they slept on those mountains could've been their last. This is possibly one the most hopeless situations a human could find themselves in, it also makes me think what on earth it would have also been like to live through the tragedy of the USS Indianapolis and that is without a doubt another story that deserves an accurate depiction of.
I agree with you soooo much! When i was watching the society of snow i began to feel cold judt looking at them feel cold, i was imagining how incredibly uncomfortable and in oain they were all the time, it felt like i was there with them, in the manner that it was filmed i felt like my couch was in the inside of the plane with them. Incredible storytelling
Carlitos. I'm glad you got off the mountain and lived your life to its fullest. To you, the other survivors, and the rest who were lost upon the mountain.... Legends. All of you.
This man is amazing and his message at the end is inspiring.
The title on the thumbnail is disrespectful
Oh be quiet!
@@Hummingbird_Singer this man went through hell and back and has an incredible story and there title is “I ate my friends” give me a break. I see you have no dignity either
Agreed. Cheap click-bait title, which this extraordinary story doesn't need. This gentleman's last remark brought me to tears. God bless him and his family!
The title is the typical clickbait👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
@@Kwisatz_HaderachXIII But, he did eat his friends. Why is that disrespectful? He and the other survivors, survived by eating their friends and co-players etc. I think you need to also realize, this man more than likely agreed to that thumbnail title and the title of the video itself.
I broke down when he said we all have our mountains to face, but we should never give up and that we must continue looking foward and fight for our right to live
Nunca me voy a cansar de escuchar esta historia. Un grande Carlitos y todos los que estuvieron en ese avión ese fatídico día.
I’m glad that these survivors and their story is finally getting the recognition they deserve. This story is heartbreaking yet incredible! I remember watching Alive(1993) a couple decades ago and it forever stuck with me.. I always thought about it from time to time and wondered why it wasn’t a well known event among my generation (millennial)
RIP to the 29 who died during this endeavor and the 2 survivors who years later passed away!
Hi! I don't know where you're from, but I'm from Argentina and a millennial as well, and I can guarantee you that from the survivor's generation onward, every Latin American knows their story. It's a good thing that this movie released in a platform like Netflix will help to make this story known to the current generation and to be remembered once more by the rest of the world. Have a wonderful 2024!
I saw the movie as a teen - too young to remember but was engraved as a dramatic real life event of canibalism in a survival condition. Years latter I saw the movie again - and search for information - to find out more details than the movie was given - and got even more fascinated. But now... it blown out of porpotion. This is a go-to video for life!
@@vickysalazarmaiorana4950yo no supero que hay gente en latino América que recién se está enterando 😵💫 no me cabe en la cabeza, porque cada año, muchos periódicos o páginas web sacan como un homenaje a “la tragedia de Los Andes”
I saw Alive in the 90s and it was forever burned in my memory. I couldn’t believe my husband hadn’t seen it or heard of it.
I saw Alive in the early 2000’s. I had no idea it was a true event story…. Until the ending and seeing the cross. I tell you I couldn’t move I was paralyzed with grief in that moment for them. I couldn’t sleep that night. I was about 21 when I saw it.
He is fascinating to listen to and tells their story so well. Amazing interview
Grande Carlitos Páez, el mas joven sobreviviente de esa terrible tragedia🥺... y siques aquí para dejar tu legado de fortaleza y esperanza 🙏❤
It's amazing to speak Spanish and listen to everything this man is saying. He truly, truly articulates everything beautifully.
As tragic as this story is for the loss of so many and the extreme challenges and sadness these guys went through, it is also beautiful and beautifully told by Carlitos.
this mans wisdom has genuinely helped me today - what a story - the lessons he finished on are invaluable to us all
What an exquisite storyteller and the message at the end is deeply profound. I remember hearing about this move as a kid in the 90s, it was a big story in South America. I'm so glad this man has a platform to tell it to the world.
Como debieron de madurar a pasos agigantados después de lo que vivieron. Yo solo puedo sentir respeto y admiración, es increíble su historia.
Struggling with my mountain this past year. Thank you Carlitos, I will keep trying to stay alive. Un abrazo hermanos uruguayos de un argentino agradecido :)

I met this man and his best friend when they were doing a tour to promote the movie ‘Alive’. Both lovely, humble men that told their story with gratitude for life and their friends that perished.
This makes me so happy to be bilingual. Listening to him and be able to perfectly understand while also reading the subtitles, makes me feel grateful for some reason.
Society of the snow literally changed me. Every single soul in this incident is a legend
Society of the Snow is an excellent movie. I cannot even imagine the hardshiips, fear, and sorrow these guys went through.
Wow! I read books about the Andes plane crash years ago, saw the film, yet hearing Carlito talk about his experience has made me learn about a completely different aspect of it. His incredible attitude and resilience is truly inspirational.
Carlito, thankyou so much for sharing your experience with us.
Take care, watching from Australia.🇦🇺

I've known about this story nearly my entire life. It made an impact all over the world and continues to do so after 5 decades. It's incredible to see the survivors finally for the first time and hear the story from the source. La Sociedad de la Nieve is an incredible film, I hope it wins an Oscars. Fascinating story teller Carlitos Paez. Thank you❤
One of the best movies I've ever seen. Absolutely astounding to think this happened to them, and they survived. So much love to these human beings ❤
Sono nata negli anni ‘70 e ricordo che da piccola mia mamma mi raccontava la vostra storia come esempio di coraggio e volontà. Vi ho pensati tanto ed ho visto il film qualche giorno fa… Siete grandi anime. Vi mando il più grande abbraccio del mondo dall’Italia
Abrazo desde Uruguay....
I can't fathom their (the crash survivors) emotion at that time when they had to eat their own friends remains to survive for 72 days. If it was me, I think I would be dead before the avalance.
Thanks Mr. Carlito for sharing your experience. It was tragic but it packed with good values that us human often take for granted.
My parents were going to be in this flight for their honeymoon, I think seats 43 and 44. My father Luis Riñón played rugby as a prop at Carrasco Polo club, the classical rival of Old Christian's club and knew many of them (ours is a small country and in the rugby scene everyone knows everyone). Thank God they didn't go, or else I probably wouldn't be here today.
Miss you dad, you would've loved this movie.
You could still have been here today. Just like this amazing man. It’s what his story is about: “impossible” survival.
@@PhoenixFeathers they would've been sitting near the tail of the aircraft so it's unlikely but who knows. This is a great story.
What a wonderful testimony. God bless him! ‘Society of the Snow’ was Amazing! A must see true story of pure determination and survival. ❣️🍀
No tengo palabras para expresar el nivel de admiración que tengo por estos heroes. Gracias por compartir estas historias de seres humanos que realmente vale la pena conocer.
This hits different when you speak Spanish. His Spanish is so beautiful
Gran orador, las palabras fluyen de su boca como un rio por la ladera
Such an incredible story. I cant wrap my mind around the horror of it all. Resorting to eating the dead was the LEAST of it.
The guys who survived this plane crash are true heroes
The ones who didn't make it were heroes too. Enrique Platero immediately got to work helping the other passengers, despite getting a piece of metal lodged in his abdomen during the crash. The captain of the rugby team, Marcelo Perez, took charge during the first few days. Liliana Methol nursed injured and dying passengers. All three were smothered in the first avalanche.

In Uruguay, near Punta del Este, there is a museum constructed by Carlito's father. I learned about the story there.
Yes. It’s beautiful. Casa Pueblo in punta del este.
@@lauralalav6332 I remember seeing a newspaper with the headline "Papa, estoy vivo"

Exceptionally told and impactful. He was so thoughtful, not only telling us the factual details of what happened but also the heart and headspace of it from the eyes of a teenager. One of the greatest examples of human tenacity. Thank you.
28:25 Those words hit me hard. I've seen the movie but the first hand account of it is just unreal.
He mentions how the stomach pain that comes with not eating is unbearable and I so relate to that. Thankfully have never been in a situation even close to his but a few years ago I got a bad stomach bug that kept me from being able to eat a single bite for 10 days. By the 10th day I was actively making myself vomit just to get the acid out of my stomach because the excess acid your stomach produces when it’s been empty for that long burns so fucking bad it’s truly indescribable. Like every time it would happen I would immediately turn pale and clammy, break out in a cold sweat, and start shaking uncontrollably just from the pain. And the only way to get the pain to stop was to make myself throw up. I’d still have horrible hunger cramps but at least it wouldn’t feel like my stomach was literally on fire.
I’ve given birth without any meds twice so I’ve felt horrendous pain. And the feeling of having nothing to eat for that long is genuinely a close second. In fact, it might even be number one just because childbirth didn’t last nearly as long. It was so bad it gave me an ulcer on the upper side of my stomach so now I get to experience that pain again every so often if I have too much stomach acid and I lay on my left side (the side I laid on for 10 days while I was sick, hence why the ulcer formed there). I’m just lucky it didn’t form lower down or I’d be in that kind of pain all the time.
I didn't eat anything for two weeks-water fast and it wasn't too bad, had to stop because I lost too much weight but if you have fat you can last a long time without food
@@mnikalaev water calms down the acid
Anyone who has ever experienced true hunger knows how terrible it is, how animalistic you feel with the hunger. I remember one week when I was much younger all I had to eat was a couple cans of pees and some taco bell sauce packets and when I would see a rabbit outside my mouth would start watering like crazy. Also tip to anyone who can't afford to eat lots of pizza places throw out entire pizzas in the boxes into the dumpster out back. Also if hunger pains are keeping you awake drink a ton of water, it can trick your body into feeling full so you can get to sleep.
@@mnikalaev *Water starve. There is no difference between starving and fasting, its called fasting to appeal to the brainwashed. Interesting though, you ler yourself starve for 2 weeks.
@@mnikalaev 1 you had water
2 you were able to rest in your house
3 you are fat so your body can be able to use your fat without problems
Oh man that closing sentence 😭 power phrase “ look back on your mountain so you can move forward” wow. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
hauntingly beautiful and inspiring, so eloquently told. the detail of how he felt when he gave up the window seat is such a small detail but gosh it makes this event, that happened 29 years before i was born, feel so much more real. i can recall moments when i was also a spoiled and petty teenager. he is right, it could be any of us. his final message about each of our own mountains really sticks with me, thank you carlitos for sharing your story.
