Whenever I am confronted with this question, I always go back to this story:
"Miracle of the Andes"
'No Regrets Resorting To Cannibalism': Survivors Of 1972 Andes Plane Crash
Fifty years later, survivors of the Andes Plane Crash recall their horrific ordeal as they ate the flesh of their family and friends to stay alive.
Survivors of a plane crash that took place 50 years ago said they "have no regrets" resorting to cannibalism to prevent death long enough to be rescued, according to a report in
Independent. The incident took place on October 13, 1972, when a chartered plane of the Uruguayan Air Force (Flight 571) carrying a rugby team along with their friends and family from Uruguay to Chile crashed in the middle of the Andes mountains due to bad weather, the outlet further said. While 29 passengers were killed in the crash, 13 others died after an avalanche hit in less than three weeks after the crash.
The 16 people who survived faced a long and tiring 72-day wait before they were finally rescued on December 23.
The fateful survivors met on October 13, 2022, to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the crash, called "Miracle in the Andes" and recalled what all they had to undergo to stay alive.
