I Ate Human Flesh To Survive Plane Crash

BY rights hitting a snow-capped mountain at 500mph in an aeroplane should have killed Eduardo Strauch and his pals almost instantly.

Miraculously the architect escaped the crash in a remote part of the Andes in South America in 1972 relatively unscathed.

That, though, was only to be the start of a horrifying, two-and-half month ordeal, trapped 12,000ft above sea level without any food or water supplies.

The soft, deep snow which cushioned the small Uruguayan passenger aircraft’s impact proved to be Eduardo’s nemesis.

Nothing could grow in such harsh conditions, water froze up, the sun’s glare created ‘snow blindness’ and the minus 30 temperatures made a trek to find help almost impossible.

One by one 33 out of the 45 passengers and crew who had not been killed in the crash, started to die.
