True story, even though many try to disbelieve that it is true
Survivors were forced to each the flesh of their team mates and friends and family in order to survive long enough to be found high up in the Andes mountains, to make it easier they melted chocolate to cover the flesh balls that they made. They were amazingly brave. Three of the survivors walked down through the mountains to find help, after several days suffering altitude sickness and frostbite they walked into a tiny community where messages were sent to the closest city and after over two months stranded high in the mountains, the 16 survivors were saved out of a total of 45 on board the plane.
