“He missed the plane too.” That guy’s laziness saved his life
Can’t imagine missing the plane.
He was Gilberto Regulars!
he was os lucky
I miss flying
Probably .
This is a great example of how your life can be going along just fine and then, in an instant, it isn't.
72 days ago, was the 50th anniversary of this crash. Today is the 50th anniversary of their rescue. 15 of the 16 survivors are still alive today. God bless them.
Yes and RIP, the deceased.
god bless them..
May they rest in peace
May the survivors stay blessed 💜💜💜💜
I just can't imagine the sense of despair at climbing ridge after ridge to see nothing but another 20 ridge lines.
After all these years, I still can’t believe that anybody survived this crash I mean, let alone survive 72 days in the cold.
When they’re not saying anything, only closing their eyes going through the air waiting to die. The pit in their stomach must’ve been endless.
They were laughing and smiling
Laughing and smiling their ways to hell!!!

The special effects in this crash scene in this movie for that time period was amazing.
Edward true
Thank you so much. Please share. Thank you.
I could not agree more! The "CGI" used was not over the top like in today's films, it was obvious they used more props and people, but you know what using real props made it feel all the more REAL and intimate. I cringed when the guy hit is head and the seats were ripping off.. very well done!
Julio Mateo I can't imagine what an awful death getting sucked out of the plane must be, regardless of at what altitude. Always wonder what happens when they're out...instant death? Slow suffocation for oxygen lack? Slow freezing or shock-freezing? Or a painful demise upon impact...*shudder*
Yeah they are killer, all practical except for what may be an optical effect when you see them sucked out. For me the effectiveness is in the editing, it's paced so well. You could follow the action (not super fast cutting like today) with what exactly is happening to the plane and in little moments they give to the characters. So visceral and scary. The sound design too, that engine...
For a movie that came out 30 years ago, this is the most realistic plane crash experience I've seen. It makes my blood run cold to watch it.
I was obsessed with this story for the longest time, read books every article I could find, watched interviews etc.What Nando and Robert did walking off that mountain was nothing short of miraculous
Agreed
I still am
Roberto no robert
It probably reminds you of the 1846 pioneers leaving Missouri ( the Donner pass..they got snowed in and had to resort to cannibalism to survive the entire winter. More than half did not survive the deep winter storm.
Those two walking out of those mountains is the single greatest example of human endurance and sheer will I've ever seen. The book Alive is an amazing read.
If we are going to die we are going to die walking! One of my favorite lines ever.

@@jamesfields2916 don't sweat it, we're old and our memory is playing tricks on us..
For those wondering why the crash happened, they were flying a very primitive underpowered twin prop engine (Fairchild F-227) that didn't have radar. There was heavy cloud cover so the pilots were flying on "dead reckoning" (guess work) and estimating how long it would take to clear the mountains. Unfortunately they failed to take into account a severe headwind that slowed them down substantially, misjudged their position, and began their descent while still in the middle of the range. The pilots realized their mistake at the last second and tried to pull back up but the mountain air was too thin for the plane to climb.
They also did a wrong turn at some point, so even if the still miscalculated everything else, if they didin't make that turn wrong they would've landed much closer to Chile and they would've also be located much faster since it would've crashed closer to the planned route.

The documentary was excellent! Once I saw it the movie was just okay. This airplane scene is very well done though!
I can’t imagine the fear and excruciating pain Susannah’s mother endured upon impact with her legs brutally pinned between those seats 😢 whats even sadder that Susannah was also severely injured as well and painfully succumbed weeks later! And that guy who hit his head and survived after a coma despite the severe head injury still amazes me! These survivors had so much courage to keep themselves alive anyway they can under such harsh environment. RIP to those poor souls who didn’t made it that far
Yes. I read Nando’s book and he said that after being rescued, the doctors were able to determine that his skull had been fractured in 3 places.
I got to see Nando Parrado give a conference at University of Buenos Aires in early 2000's, it was very inspiring. I still can't believe how they survived such an ordeal, it's beyond logic
If you haven’t read his book, I highly recommend it. Easily the best book I’ve ever read about survival situations. The epilogue alone is worth the price of the book.
It’s incredible and honestly so inspiring
This is a damn well made scene. I've seen countless of movies with plane crashes but non catches the horror and realism like this one. Many movies make the mistake of adding dramatic music when the sound of the revving engines, wind, panicking screams and alarms are all that's needed.
Thank you. It was Speilberg's people who made the film. I am glad they did not add a lot of unnecessary stuff, too. Please just help me by sharing the video. Thank you so much. Jake

This scene ALWAYS stayed with me. You know what was real? When they were sliding down the mountain after the wings broke off.....they just sat there and gripped the chair arms and sat there. That’s ALL they could do. That’s all anyone could do. Just sit there and wait for it to stop and hope they don’t get hurt. Just sit and hope. Way too real.

Then they spent 2-3 months there 16 of them survived it as well, took Canessa and forgot the other person 10 days I think it was in the end to find help, had they actually gone in the opposite to the west they would have been closer to that end to civilisation but there was a huge river with a really usually fast current with a fully functioning hotel across the river at the time (its now a ruin of a building).
Not being the superstitious type myself but was on Friday the 13th the day of the crash.
the usage of the plane engine roar is honestly underrated as a way of creating tension through the organic sounds, you just feel like bracing just from hearing it
it's surreal agreed.
Considering this movie is 30 years old, the plane crash scene is still one of the most realistic depictions I've ever seen in film. Great movie. If you haven't seen it, do it! ❤
Society of the snow is better.
@@diddyphukkingkong393 Of course. It's newer, better effects.
@@jacquiew.9165 Society of the Snow is better because it's more accurate to the events that have happened while Alive is not. One thing I may not like about Society of the Snow was that the ending was too climatic. Everyone in Alive is white and not shown to be freezing or in pain. Since Alive is a Disney movie, I hate how everything feels watered down, also Numa as a character was excluded from Alive.
YES it felt like you were in it so awful
The scary thing is that "this is how it literally happened"
I would say the crash scene is probably about 85%-90% accurate which makes it seem more scary and traumatizing.

@@michelleann414 Glad to hear you read it. One thing that really struck me was in the epilogue, he mentioned that specialists were saying these guys would need professional help for most of their lives but aside from the one fella ending up with a drug dependency, they all led pretty successful lives and learned how to move on from that tragedy with minimal professional help. It was great to find out how Nando and Jackie Stewart became friends and of course how he met his wife. I think it should be mandatory reading for schools in the grade 10-12 level just to help teenagers get through those difficult years. That one passage in the book when he was consoling that poor woman who had the unfortunate accident with her daughter and he said to her that "we all have our own personal Andes" has stuck with me throughout the years.

God bless all those on board the plane.
The survivors have always said, in the interviews they've given over the last 30 years for the Spanish speaking media, that they dislike 'Alive' because it's a very distorted version of the real facts. They find it superficial and disrespectful.
@@Adifgreat Really? Oh wow, I have never heard that. I remember watching an interview with the real Nando Parrado, for an English speaking behind the scenes documentary, and he had said the airplane crash scene was identical to the way it happened from what he remembered. I don't recall him saying anything negative about the film. I've no doubt they embellished many other parts of the movie for drama and some action. That's interesting. I'll have to look into it more.
@@monkeymonkey8526 In fact, the only thing they like about 'Alive' is the special/visual effects. The new film 'Society of the Snow' is, in the words of the survivors and the victims' families, the real story and a tribute to all the heroes of the ordeal, especially those who didn't survive.
That must've been cool watching that in 1993, good ol times❤
@@Adifgreat Very odd since Nando and a few other survivors were actually there during filming as consultants to keep it true to their story as much as possible. How very strange they would say something after that is the total opposite. Maybe the editors made cuts and changes that left them unhappy? Interesting.
The boy they are talking about at 1:03 was Tito Regules. He was the only member of the rugby team to miss the flight after he overslept because he’d been partying the night before. Ironically, he died 21 years later, after falling asleep while driving.
I guess Reaper didnt like it that Dreams took his kill so he came back to take him in his Sleep
The Chile newspaper said “The cannibals have returned.” What a thoughtless and grossly unfair thing to say. Cannibalism is when you intentionally kill someone to eat them. This was survival, a heart wrenching decision. Even the Chilean public and the Catholic Church were repulsed at what they did and shunned them, but after thinking it through they agreed it was the only thing they could have done. The Church “absolved them of their sin” in eating the dead. What sin?? There was no sin. They did the right thing.
The church can never really judge the actions of anyone, ya know......cause they bum kids.
@Kelly McDaniel i would eat you and wouldn't feel bad about it. I would feel worse eating a dog strangely enough.
@Kelly McDaniel I'm not religious so it's all good.
The Church didn't judged them though. Where did you get that? The Catholics in the plane rationalized their cannibalism as similar to the Eucharist
It was a canadian newspaper, actually

I didn't know about this plane crash. Now I'll have to read everything about it.
That is like your worst nightmare come to life. I like how it showed the passengers really quiet when the wings came off, like they had just accepted that there was nothing they could do. One guy was praying and smiling, just waiting for death. Chilling.
I looked this up after having just watched this scene on the new netflix adaptation (La Sociedad de la Nieve -Society of the snow in EN). Alive's version is okay but this scene is 100 times more terrifying in the new version. The new movie is ABSOLUTELY beautiful too.

I've never seen this before. This entire scene is incredibly well done. First it's done simply. No unnecessary fancy direction, almost documentary. You look at each of the actors as the turbulence kicks in, some are nervous, some are fooling around - but then there are those fooling around in an effort to try and not look scared. Then when the engines power up and they figure something's wrong. The look on the steward's face that this is something different. Then everything suddenly ramps up into that end-time. The lack of music, the eerie quiet, the way you feel the speed from rush of the wind and the objects flying as if you're in that small metal tube. Really well done, and all the acting in its underplayed realism and quiet terror sells it.
Yes, I read somewhere that it took 9 days to film the crash scene. Still amazingly scary to watch in this day of cgi. That final bit when everything and everybody is thrown violently forward and legs trapped in the seats is so gut wrenching.
The most crazy thing? the survivors said this is exactly how it happened
One of the most "hold your breath" aircraft crash scenes in any movie to date. Incredibly well made for its time. Being fact rather than fiction it certainly makes you think.

Actually statistically the seats from the middle towards the tail of the plane are safer to be in. In this case it was quite a matter of luck that the front part of the plane wasn't as damaged as the back.
In a crash like this, those sitting in front got crushed by the people and seats behind them
Just behind the wing is statistically the best place to sit to survive. Pilots usually die and they are at the very front.

Nando Parrado wrote a Book about it. He said right after the plane crashed, survivors saw someone run towards their direction. It was someone who fell from the plane and actually survived the fall probably thanks to the snow. They called to the guy and hé rushed over to them. Then, as he was getting Closer, he seemed to trip over something and never got up. They kept yelling and waiting for him but they never saw him again. In his Book Nando assumes he fell and broke his neck.
That was Carlos Valeta, likely fell from the fuselage as it was on the slide down the mountain. Very sad, he survived the crash but was likely injured, disorientated and fell to his death as he was running down towards the crash site
@@mikej3129 correct
It was Carlos Valeta, one of the youngest guys on the plane, a doctor's son. He was disoriented and tripping down the hill, actually wandering off in the wrong direction, and they were yelling for him to come their way. He fell into a crevasse in the glacier and they found his body two months later, when they were looking for more bodies so they wouldn't have to start eating people's relatives. Valeta's father was one of the most vocal defenders of the survivors using the bodies for food, including his son's.

They disagreed with the script they were sent for review (as established in the contract), so the 16 survivors gathered at Gustavo Zerbino's house for several days to make all the modifications they considered necessary, but when the revised script was sent back to the studios, it was disrespectfully dismissed, so the disappointing result was a fictionalised softened version with the stereotypical Hollywood characters, in which they've never seen themselves reflected, some ridiculed such as Carlos Roque, the mechanic, whose son grew up wondering why his father had been portrayed that way.
For 1993, this is extremely well put together. I love flying, but no other scene has put the fear of God in me as this one.
After watching "society of the snow" i can tell its much more accurate and better film in general. However "alive" still holds a deep place in my memories.
3:00 a los uruguayos y argentinos nos da un paro cardíaco al ver esta parte…
This scene absolutely terrified me im shaking.. I’ve never seen a movie like this... I’m sure that’s exactly how terrifying crashing is.. my absolute worst fear
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve seen this movie so many times since I was a kid, or because the book is the gold standard of survival accounts, but I watch this scene with the same amount of intensity every time.
There are so many movie stars in the making in this movie 😮
Movie name
Its been over 30 years since I saw this on a nighttime TV special. I forgot how horrific and realistic this scene was even for 1993.
Dude says "just stay above the weather" then proceeds to fly downwards into the clouds. The same clouds that are obscuring 15,000ft mountain ranges 😳😳😳😳😳
To be fair, when the Pilot said "stay above the weather" they were flying above the mountains so it was imperative for them to keep the plane as safe as possible (due to the limitations and engine underpowering of the aircraft). However when they start the decent the entire path ahead should be clear of mountains so at that point they could endure the cross winds without much problems. Of course, they never knew that they did a wrong turn 20 minutes ago and instead of landing into the Santiago City outskirts they where flying into the middle of the Andes.
@@PointReflex True, it was a navigational error that screwed them.
Pilot was drunk. That’s why he was eaten first
No CGI here. Absolutely stunning
There are however lots of computers involved. The motion control camera shots are computer-controlled. The keying, color grading and editing were done 100% digitally as well.
The recent one is better but considering the time of production this is ok
It was a miracle that many people actually survived this crash.
The whole scene is pretty horrific, especially the part where the seated passengers are whooshed out of the stern of the plane. Some people will simply never set foot on a plane, others will but aren't too comfortable with it. This scene won't help the latter group much. In an ideal world there wouldn't be any plane crashes but unfortunately the real world is very distant from ideal.
Jesus !
Per capita, dying in a car accident is much more likely than dying in a plane crash. There are millions of flights each year and only 283 people died in a place crash last year. Millions die in car accidents every year.
There’s a plane crash that happened in Brazil, 1989. The pilots got lost, went out of fuel and landed/crashed on the amazon forest during the night. Same thing happened, the seats were whooshed. 48 passengers, 42 survived.
@@annastone Also United 811 from Los Angeles to Sydney, shortly after the flight's stop in Honolulu the side cargo door suffered an electrical malfunction that caused the door to open in flight. When it opened the rapid depressurization of the cabin caused the door to violently swing open and damage the plane. Four rows of passengers seated right next to the cargo door were almost immediately ejected out into the sky seats and everything, another passenger from the closest seat on the other side was sucked out as well, though not with their seat. One flight attendant held onto the railing of the stairs for dear life as the air continued to flow out of the cabin. The crew got the plane into an emergency descent to 10,000 ft where the air was breathable and then turned back around to make an emergency landing in Honolulu without losing additional passengers.
@@rockyfalldownstairs tragically, one of the passengers who survived the United 811 incident of 1989, would later die (25 years later) in an airplane crash: Passenger John Stephenson would die 25 years later in a separate plane crash. In October 2014, he was killed while captain of a Van's RV-6 light aircraft, when it crashed into a house in the Melbourne suburb of Chelsea.[22 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Airlines_Flight_811
The book is one of my favorites; their story of survival is so inspiring. I've read most of the survivors books, and have kept track of them through the years. They did such an amazing job with this film.
I chose to do a comparative review of the Hollywood movie, a survivor account, and the PPR book, for high school English class in like 1997, and I'd never been so not bored before in school, if that makes sense - there's just so much, so much material, so much humanity, so many different aspects to consider. I actually loved every minute of doing that project. Watching this scene brings back chills of course but also fond memories.
I wouldn't call it inspiring. They ate each other and waited 2 months before actually leaving the sight to search for help. And the only reason they went out to search was because they were running out of friends bodies to eat. And one attempt of search, they found a village pretty fast that saved them. If you ever get into a crash, never do what these cannibals did. Immediately look for help, or animals to hunt. (There are animals in that mountain).
@@thecensoredmuscle563 Perhaps you should actually read the book before making judgement. You clearly do not know the circumstances.
@@missmelyss3626 I do know the circumstances, I've studied this story. They should not be anyone's influence on how to survive.
@@thecensoredmuscle563 Cearly you didn´t studied well. it almos seems you never read anything about it from the real people involed in. The reason for them to go out on expeditions was knowing by radio that the search for them was over. You couldn´t even get that important detail lol, they had many bodies available at the moment. So it´s obvious that you don´t know the full story. "And one attempt of search, they found a village pretty fast" OMG It wasnt the first and they didn´t even found a village, they found a man in a river after 10 days of walking in 38km of freezing mountains. Never saw someone talk about this topic with such misinformation about it HAHAHAHAHA
Prob the smoothest possible crash. The human will to survive is an amazing thing
This plane crash was so gripping and intense. I remember overhearing someone shout “That alone was worth the price of admission,” or something to that effect when I saw this in the theater.
I remember watching this movie with my mother when I was 8 or 9. One of those movies that you cannot forget.
Wht tje name of this movie?
It says it in the title, my friend: Alive (from 1993)@@gurueditztricks3957
The sound of engines revving up is such a chilling sound sometimes.
30 years later, this is still a fantastic scene!
On January of this year I went to the place where this accident happened, it's amazing how many of this guy's were able to survive so much time in freezing weather, injured and with almost no food.
3:40 is the exact second that doomed them. BOTH pilots took off their aviator sunglasses. How did they expect to aviate without them??
What do you mean
@@isaacm1477 Idk, what do you mean?
Lol such a stupid terrible joke
@@shirelwernicke1378 you're a moron 😂
@@shirelwernicke1378 it's glasses that help pilots seeing better
I remember seeing this opening weekend when it came out as a teen. The images stuck with me for months! (Especially knowing it was based off a true story) 😢
I watched this movie many years ago, its brilliant
that single clip gave me goosebumps
I feel bad for the pilots. Did they screw up? Yes, but at least they pulled the plane over the top of the mountain so that some of them could survive. Got to give them credit for that.
@@TommyTom21 Professionals shouldn't allow themselves to be pushed to do something dangerous, especially by people who clearly dont know much about their field of work.
I don’t blame the pilots at all. They had no visual. Their instruments told them to pull up and they did, unfortunately it just was not in time to save the tail, very sad.
Independent Contractor I watched another movie about this crash. People, professionals, meant that the pilots did wrong. They were not going to fly over the Andes in the first place, they were going to fly around it. They made the calculation wrong, they weren’t supposed to turn the minute they did and the pilots didn’t have “enough” experience they said, don’t remember really how they meant. But something like they didn’t have enough hours of experience, they hadn’t been in the air for many hours total, for making a decision like they did.
vet inte I see, well, can’t change the past, just learn from it.
@@charles1203 pilots 100% at fault. it takes 10-12 minutes to cross that part of the andes at which point they can safely start to descend. The pilot inexplicably turned and began descending after just 4 minutes, riding the plane right into the mountains.
This is an excellent movie about a real tragedy and subsequent bravery and endurance. So well done!
This movie is so traumatic and so realistic. Couldn't imagine the horror these people went through 😢
One of the best dramatic scenes filmed, excellent execution without using unnecessary elements. Outstanding actors, it really reflects the fear of being in such tragic situation as is an airplane accident.
And there is a new film about this: Soiety of the Snow. Watched it last saturday, and I think it's even better than this.
Agree!
Waaaaay better than this, this looks horrible
@@ONLYOUSSEMA I wouldn't go that far. I'd watched this quite a few times through my life, and I think it is quite allright.
Good God! This scene is absolutely horrifying. No music or insane special effects. Great job!
I believe the first shot of the plane from behind is CGI.
@@queencancerous5332 It's not CGI. Model shot against a blue screen and matted into frame.
Carlitos prayed the Rosary & he was saved/survived. Thank you our Blessed Virgin Mother Mary for you overwhelming goodness to those who call upon you out of their love, faith, & gratitude!!!! I love you Mother.
Thank you so much, av3. You are right about Carlito. I actually was so lucky to have acted in this film. I played Alberto Antuna. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.

@@JakeCarpenterStudio Alberto Antuna ,very good actor, very good performance
I watched it once when I was a child. This scene literally stays with me forever! It pops up every time I fly!!!!
Thank you. Yes, just please remember that this kind of thing is very, very, very rare. You will be fine. Please help me by sharing the video and subscribing to my channel. Thank you so much. Jake
