Podcasts about Nando Parrado

When a plane carrying a team of young rugby players crashed into the Andes mountains in 1972, search teams soon gave up hope. But two months later, 16 passengers of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 emerged alive. The events became known as ‘The Miracle of the Andes' and have previously been told in documentaries and films including Society of the Snow. One horrifying detail continues to fascinate audiences - the starving men were only able to stay alive by eating the bodies of those who died. In 2009, Nando Parrado told Louise Hidalgo about their extraordinary story of survival.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past.

In this episode of The Compendium we revist an old favourit and one of our most popular episodes. We dive into the gripping and inspirational story of "The Miracle of the Andes", the crash of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 and the unimaginable circumstances that the survivors faced. We will be drawing on the 1974 book "Alive" by Piers Paul Read, which was written on behalf of the survivors and documents their remarkable journey.What we love about this story is that it is not just a story about survival, but also about stepping up and banding together in the face of adversity. Together Kyle and Adam explore what happens when a plane crashes on a glacier and what it truly takes to survive when everyone has given up on you. This story is a testament to the extraordinary things that people are capable of and how even in the most desperate situations, humanity can shine through.We give you the Compendium, but if you want more, then check out these great resources:1.

Iker Jiménez reflexiona en 'Cuarto Milenio' sobre la importancia que tienen los 16 supervivientes de la tragedia de Los Andes para transmitir al resto de la sociedad cuáles son los verdaderos problemas del ser humano. El presentador hace un llamamiento a toda la audiencia a pensar sobre los conflictos humanos y los agobios que nos generamos en el mundo mercantilista en el que vivimos. El presentador acude hasta el centro del plató, mira a cámara y confiesa cuál es su sentir tras escuchar el increíble relato de los supervivientes en Los Andes: "Es una de las más insólitas tragedias que el ser humano ha vivido. Sería absurdo decirles yo algo, ellos han sido los protagonistas, Nando Parrado, Eduardo Strauch, Carlos Páez. Sus palabras resuenan, todos tienen un mensaje, todos tuvieron una especie de conversión espiritual, volvieron al ser, se despojaron del maquillaje que nosotros mismos y la sociedad proveemos". "Todo eso desapareció de inmediato, sólo importaba la superviviencia, el amor a los compañeros, la solidaridad, el deseo y la fe de volver a encontrarse con los seres queridos", comenta Iker Jiménez. Tras esto, el periodista añade: "Mi idea era devolverles algo que siempre han contado ellos desde el año 1974. Ellos sienten que se ha ido a por lo forense, a lo muy humano y se ha dejado de lado el increíble crecimiento que tuvieron. Ese extraño resplandor de la montaña que los cambió para siempre".

El éxito internacional de la película La sociedad de la nieve ha generado un nuevo interés por la sorprendente historia del avión Fairchild 365 de la Fuerza Aérea Uruguaya, que cayó en los Andes el viernes 13 de octubre de 1972. El equipo de CUARTO MILENIO lleva semanas trabajando en este dossier especial que abordará multitud de historias misteriosas y desconocidas ocurridas en torno al incidente, narradas con la voz directa de los propios protagonistas de la historia. Durante los 72 días que pasaron perdidos en la montaña, algunos supervivientes experimentaron una profunda sensación de conexión con el entorno, en estados casi místicos, percibiendo la presencia de Dios de manera muy intensa: «Sentía que había algo más grande que yo, algo en las montañas, en los glaciares y en el radiante cielo que, en contadas ocasiones, me reconfortaba y me hacía sentir que el mundo no era un caos y que en él reinaba el amor y el bien», declaró Nando Parrado, uno de los supervivientes. Durante la avalancha que les sepultó durante varios días, otros miembros del grupo llegaron a vivir Experiencias Cercanas a la Muerte (ECM), con la visión de sus cuerpos desde arriba, y una percepción placentera de la muerte.

Maria dejó que su hijo escogiera la charla a la que acudirían juntos; era su forma de mostrarle lo importante que para ella era su criterio y compartir una actividad. Su hijo decidió que acudieran a escuchar a Nando Parrado, que por entonces, presentaba la segunda edición de su libro “Milagro en los Andes”. Aquella charla, sacudió todos los cimientos de Maria y la convulsionó por dentro. Nada en su vida, después de ese momento, volvió a ser igual: Ese fue el kilómetro 0 de su sendero por el emprendimiento. Si escuchas este podcast, conocerás a una mujer de naturaleza feliz, que había disfrutado plenamente cada paso de su existencia. Sin embargo, la traición de sus compañeros de viaje provoca abruptamente que experimente por primera vez lo que es el miedo. Todos los aprendizajes que vinieron tras de sí, convirtieron a María en un mejor ser humano. Aprendamos juntos, con ella, de esta intensa charla que nos acerca a la espiritualidad y a la transformación como fruto del dolor emocional. www.womenalia.com

After crashing high in the Andes, Nando Parrado had to go to the extreme to get out.In 1972, when the plane carrying 22 year old Uruguayan Nando Parrado and his rugby team came down deep in the Andes mountain range in South America, they were left for dead. Rescue teams called off their search after 10 days. Nando and the other survivors would spend an incredible 72 days trapped, frozen and forsaken in this icy wilderness. And in order to come out alive, they would have to do the unthinkable. Presenter: Asya Fouks Producer: Edgar Maddicott Editor: Laura Thomas

Cuando hablamos de misterios y leyendas, uno de los temas de los que se suele hablar es de la supervivencia de los pasajeros del avión que se estrelló en la cordillera de los Andes que recurrieron al canibalismo para no morir durante más de 70 días (más de dos meses) que estuvieron localizados y dados por muertos. Recientemente se ha estrenado una nueva película que narra la tragedia y de las que os traigo esta reseña. “La sociedad de la nieve”: una película que conmueve y emociona “La sociedad de la nieve” es la última película del director español J.A. Bayona, basada en el libro homónimo de Pablo Vierci, que narra la historia real de los supervivientes del accidente aéreo de los Andes en 1972. La película, que se estrenó en los cines de Uruguay y España en diciembre de 2023, y que se puede ver en Netflix desde el 4 de enero de 2024, ha recibido el aplauso de la crítica y del público, así como numerosas nominaciones y premios, entre ellos el de Mejor Película Internacional en los Globos de Oro y en los Premios Goya. La película aborda uno de los relatos de supervivencia más conocidos y conmovedores del siglo XX, el de un grupo de jóvenes deportistas uruguayos que viajaban a Chile para disputar un partido de rugby, y que se vieron obligados a enfrentarse a las condiciones más extremas tras el choque de su avión en un glaciar a más de 4.000 metros de altura. Durante 72 días, los 29 supervivientes tuvieron que luchar contra el frío, el hambre, las heridas, las avalanchas, la soledad y la desesperación, recurriendo a medidas impensables como alimentarse de los cadáveres de sus compañeros fallecidos. Sin embargo, también demostraron una enorme solidaridad, fe, esperanza y voluntad de vivir, que les permitió resistir hasta que dos de ellos, Nando Parrado y Roberto Canessa, lograron cruzar las montañas y encontrar ayuda. Bayona, que se ha consolidado como uno de los cineastas más exitosos y versátiles de su generación, tras dirigir películas como “El orfanato”, “Lo imposible” y “Un monstruo viene a verme”, ha sabido plasmar con maestría y sensibilidad esta epopeya humana, que ya había sido llevada al cine en 1993 por Frank Marshall con el título de “¡Viven!”. Sin embargo, a diferencia de aquella versión, que se centraba más en el aspecto aventurero y espectacular de la historia, Bayona ha optado por una aproximación más íntima y profunda, que da voz y rostro a todos los protagonistas de “la sociedad de la nieve”, tanto a los que sobrevivieron como a los que murieron. Para ello, se ha basado en el libro de Vierci, que recoge los testimonios de los 16 supervivientes y de las familias de los 29 fallecidos, y que ofrece una visión más completa y compleja de lo que ocurrió en aquellos días. La película cuenta con un reparto de actores uruguayos y argentinos, encabezado por Enzo Vogrincic, que interpreta a Numa Turcatti, el narrador de la historia, y por Agustín Pardella, que da vida a Nando Parrado, el líder de la expedición. Ambos realizan unas actuaciones sobresalientes, que transmiten la fuerza, el dolor y la humanidad de sus personajes. El resto del elenco también brilla con luz propia, destacando Andy Pruss como Roy Harley, Matías Recalt como Roberto Canessa, Juan Pablo Raba como Javier Methol, y María Valverde como Susana Parrado, entre otros. La música de Michael Giacchino, la fotografía de Pedro Luque y la dirección artística de Eugenio Caballero contribuyen a crear una atmósfera envolvente y emotiva, que capta la belleza y la crueldad de los paisajes andinos. “La sociedad de la nieve” es una película que no deja indiferente a nadie, que conmueve y emociona, que invita a reflexionar sobre el valor de la vida, el sentido de la muerte, el poder de la amistad, el límite de la ética, el papel de la fe y la capacidad de superación del ser humano. Es, en definitiva, una obra maestra del cine español, que rinde homenaje a los héroes de los Andes, y que merece ser vista y recordada.

Em um dos acidentes aéreos mais absurdos da história, o time de rugby uruguaio Old Christians e alguns parentes que estavam no vôo caíram em plena cordilheira dos Andes a caminho do Chile, numa história que muitos definem como desastre, mas alguns se referem como milagre, já que mesmo com a queda, 29 dos 45 passageiros sobreviveram e 16 desses 29 foram resgatados com vida após passar mais de 70 dias sem comida e em temperaturas que chegavam a -30 graus.::A literatura sobre o caso é vasta: existe uma série de livros e documentários e um filme famoso de 1993 chamado Vivos (ou Alive), dirigido pelo Frank Marshall e que contou com Ethan Hawke no papel de um dos sobreviventes, Nando Parrado. O filme da Netflix é baseado no livro de mesmo nome escrito por Pablo Vierci em 2010, e que reúne relatos dos 16 sobreviventes da tragédia dos Andes. Fica desde já a recomendação do livro e do filme, que tá disponível no streaming Oldflix. ::A direção aqui é do espanhol de 48 anos Juan Antonio Bayona, que tem a mão para a catástrofe e já dirigiu hits como “O Orfanato”, “O Impossível” e “7 Minutos depois da meia noite”, além do duvidoso “Jurassic World, Reino Ameaçado”. ::A grande maioria do elenco é desconhecida do público brasileiro, mas o Enzo Vogrincic, que vive o Numa e também é conhecido como o Adam Driver uruguaio, já fez séries locais importantes, Agustin Pardella, que dá vida ao Nando, tem uma carreira mais extensa em filmes e séries argentinos e o Esteban Bigliardi, o mais experiente dos sobreviventes, está em diversas produções também argentinas incluindo o cotado ao Oscar 2024 “Os Delinquentes”.::Coloque seu fone, aumente o volume e Senta que lá vem Spoiler!

pWotD Episode 2440: Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.With 291,622 views on Saturday, 6 January 2024 our article of the day is Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571.Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 was the chartered flight of a Fairchild FH-227D from Montevideo, Uruguay, to Santiago, Chile, that crashed in the Andes mountains on October 13, 1972. The accident and subsequent survival became known as the Andes flight disaster (Tragedia de los Andes) and the Miracle of the Andes (Milagro de los Andes).The inexperienced co-pilot, Lieutenant-Colonel Dante Héctor Lagurara, was piloting the aircraft at the time of the accident. He mistakenly believed the aircraft had overflown Curicó, the turning point to fly north and begin descending towards what he thought was Pudahuel Airport in Santiago de Chile. He failed to notice that instrument readings indicated he was still 37–43 mi (60–69 km) east of Curicó. Lagurara, upon regaining visual flight conditions, saw the mountain and unsuccessfully tried to gain altitude. The aircraft struck a mountain ridge, shearing off both wings and the tail cone. The remaining portion of the fuselage slid down a glacier at an estimated 220 mph (350 km/h), descending 2,379 feet (725 m) before ramming into an ice and snow mound.The flight was carrying 45 passengers and crew, including 19 members of the Old Christians Club rugby union team, along with their families, supporters and friends. Three crew members and nine passengers died immediately and several more died soon after due to the frigid temperatures and the severity of their injuries. The crash site is located at an elevation of 11,710 feet (3,570 m) in the remote Andes mountains of western Argentina, just east of the border with Chile. Search and rescue aircraft overflew the crash site several times during the following days, but failed to see the white fuselage against the snow. Search efforts were called-off after eight days of searching. During 72 days following the crash, the survivors suffered from extreme hardships, including exposure, starvation and several avalanches, which led to the deaths of 13 more passengers. The remaining passengers resorted to cannibalism to survive. As the weather improved with the arrival of late spring, two survivors, Nando Parrado and Roberto Canessa, climbed the 15,260-foot (4,650 m) mountain peak on the western rim of the glacier cirque without any mountaineering gear. They hiked for 10 days into Chile, traveling 38 miles (61 km), before finding help. On 23 December 1972, two and a half months after the crash, the 16 remaining survivors were rescued.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:36 UTC on Sunday, 7 January 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Raveena Standard.

This week the boys reach the end of the journey for the 16 remaining passengers of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, who after spending 72 treacherous days stranded in freezing temperatures, would find eventual rescue thanks to the amazing resilience of their fearless leader Nando Parrado.

Hur kommer världen se ut efter att vi dött? Det fick Nando Parrado erfara efter att alla i hans närhet trott att han dött och, som han själv uttrycker det, bara gått vidare med sina liv.

The remaining survivors of the Fairchild crash are starting to lose hope that rescuers will arrive after ten days of inactivity. Nando Parrado and Roberto Canessa understand their only chance at survival is to send a small team through the Andes mountains and down into Chile for help. Unfortunately, they remain stranded, and their food supply has just run out. If they're going to climb through the Andes successfully, they'll need to build up their strength and make some tough decisions.Listen early and ad free with Wondery+.

Se cumplen 50 años del trágico accidente aéreo en el que 45 jugadores de un equipo de rugby quedaron atrapados en la cordillera de los Andes sin agua, alimentos y a 30 grados bajo cero. Entonces, solo sobrevivieron 16 pasajeros y hoy hemos podido hablar en Las Mañanas de RNE con uno de ellos, con Roberto Canessa. Ahora, con 69 años, cuenta que ve desde la distancia lo ocurrido como "una experiencia del comportamiento humano impresionante", ordenada por "una mano maldita". Además, se dice "agradecido" por poder tener la oportunidad que no tuvieron sus amigos tras un suceso que le "bajó las ambiciones".  Él, junto a su compañero Nando Parrado, atravesó la montaña hasta llegar a los valles de Chile en el que habitaban personas, un reto más a lo que ya tenían. Dice de la montaña que era un elemento: "indiferente, inmutable, de una belleza órganica y que se reía de nosotros y de nuestras pobres ilusiones". Y que en esos 72 días lo que les motivó fue el humor, sobre todo el de Carlos Paez, que se encargaba de "poner la meta en el horizonte". Para hablar de su descenso, de la salida de la montaña, se refiere a una transición "de la sociedad de la nieve a la sociedad del llano", un paso a una sociedad que, como señala, "no tenía ningún derecho" a juzgarles por haber tenido que alimentarse de la carne de sus compañeros muertos. Una realidad que tuvieron que afrontar y que superar a pesar de que las familias no llegaron a entenderles.  Escuchar audio

In 1972, the 45 passengers and crew of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 faced extreme weather, avalanches, a variety of injuries, sickness, sun blindness, thirst, and starvation so severe, they were forced to eat the bodies of their friends and family who lay in the snow next to them for over two months in this harrowing tale of survival. Their story is so unbelievable, the first police officers that two members of this group finally contacted took hours of convincing to believe it. No one should have survived a plane crashing at an altitude of over 11,000 feet in the Andes, even in the Spring. The plane crashed far up above the tree line in a snow covered landscape, with no plants or animals for anyone to eat. The plane - because the intended flight was only two hours long - had almost no food on board. It was cannibalism or die. Even with cannibalism, the sixteen men who would make it alive still should have died.

It's hard to even put into words the range of emotions that came over me watching this story and delving into this incredible true story. While based on a true story of the Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 about a soccer team that crashed in the Andes mountains in 1972, the film was equally as compelling. I couldn't even slightly imagine what this must have been like to go through. This was Charles' pick as a film so I get into his history with the film and we talk some differences between the true story and the film, some behind the scenes info, and pose other survival situations.Off-topic rants include: The Donner party, Into Thin Air, climbers, and Josh Lucas ---Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Felicity, Dawson's Creek, and more...) and to support the show, join the PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrungeGIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Charles @charleshaslam Music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast Instagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

Nando Parrado and Roberto Canessa braved 36 miles of brutal mountain terrain to escape the Andes and save their teammates. But this isn't where the story of Flight 571 ends. While hiking near the crash site in 2005, mountaineer Ricardo Peña discovered a jacket belonging to one of the survivors and wreckage from the plane that had never been found. The following year Peña led a National Geographic expedition retracing the route Nando and Roberto took out of the Andes.On this episode, Peña joins host Cassie de Pecol to discuss how his discovery led to new insights about the crash and what it was like to walk in the survivors' footsteps.

The remaining survivors of the Fairchild crash are starting to lose hope that rescuers will arrive after ten days of inactivity. Nando Parrado and Roberto Canessa understand their only chance at survival is to send a small team through the Andes mountains and down into Chile for help. Unfortunately, they remain stranded, and their food supply has just run out. If they're going to climb through the Andes successfully, they'll need to build up their strength and make some tough decisions.Listen early and ad free with Wondery+.

«Era más que un juego: era un deporte elevado al estatus de disciplina moral.... Ningún otro deporte enseñaba de un modo tan devoto la importancia del esfuerzo, del sufrimiento y del sacrificio en la búsqueda de un objetivo común.» Eso fue lo que los Hermanos Cristianos Irlandeses del Colegio Stella Maris, ubicado en el barrio Carrasco de Montevideo, Uruguay, le enseñaron a Nando Parrado acerca del rugby. En su libro sobre la tragedia en los Andes en que se estrelló el avión que llevaba a su equipo de rugby, Parrado dice: «El objetivo del rugby es controlar [la pelota] (normalmente mediante una combinación de destreza, velocidad y fuerza bruta) y después, pasándola con habilidad de un jugador a otro corriendo a toda velocidad, [intentar tocar la línea de in goal, o patear la pelota de sobrepique, para que pase entre las haches (drop), y así] obtener puntos. El rugby puede ser un juego de asombrosa velocidad y habilidad, un juego de pases precisos y brillantes maniobras de evasión, aunque... la esencia del juego sólo puede hallarse en la montonera violenta y controlada denominada scrum.... En esa formación, los jugadores de cada equipo se alinean en tres filas en las que los jugadores, hombro con hombro, tienen los brazos entrelazados con firmeza para formar una red humana entretejida.... »... No puedes aislar tu propio esfuerzo individual de todo el scrum —comenta Parrado—. No sabes dónde acaba tu fuerza y empiezan los esfuerzos de los demás.... Durante un instante, te olvidas de ti mismo y pasas a formar parte de algo más grande y poderoso de lo que tú podrías ser. Tu esfuerzo y tu empeño se desvanecen en el empeño colectivo del equipo y, si este empeño aúna y se concentra, el equipo avanza y la [montonera] empieza a moverse por arte de magia.... »... El portador [de la pelota] será [acompañado] durante todo su avance, se [generarán formaciones donde la pelota puede ser recuperada por el adversario], y cada centímetro será una batalla; pero entonces uno de [tus] compañeros encontrará un ángulo, una pequeña ventana de luz y, con un gran esfuerzo final, pasará de largo como un rayo a los últimos defensas y, [controlando la pelota,] se lanzará a [apoyarla sobre] la línea de [in goal] para conseguir puntos....Todo el laborioso trabajo de combate se convierte en una danza magnífica en la que nadie puede atribuirse el mérito, dado que se llega a la línea de [in goal] centímetro a centímetro, gracias a la acumulación del esfuerzo individual y al margen de quién [la] cruza finalmente con [la pelota].... »Para mí, ésta es la esencia del rugby —concluye Parrado—. Ningún otro deporte te da una sensación tan intensa de altruismo y de compartir un objetivo. Creo que ésa es la razón por la que los jugadores de rugby de todo el mundo sienten tanta pasión por este deporte y [tanta] hermandad.»1 ¡Con razón que aquellos Hermanos Cristianos Irlandeses consideraban el rugby como una disciplina moral! Sin duda uno de sus pasajes bíblicos favoritos era este del apóstol Pablo: «Llénenme de alegría teniendo un mismo parecer, un mismo amor, unidos en alma y pensamiento. No hagan nada por egoísmo o vanidad.... Cada uno debe velar no sólo por sus propios intereses sino también por los intereses de los demás.»2 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Nando Parrado, Milagro en los Andes: Mis 72 días en la montaña y mi largo regreso a casa (Barcelona: Editorial Planeta, 2006), pp. 22-24. 2 Fil 2:2-4

Power of Disruption: Gail Davis, a leader in the international keynote speaker industry, joins host Gregg Garrett for a discussion on the changes occurring in her industry as well as how she's driven her firm to emerge as a stable leader post-COVID. She of course shares her Top Three who include individuals that help her not sweat the small stuff, remind her that clear is kind, how to manage the tension between work and other facets of life, and those who help to fill a capability void. And you have to hear what she has to say about keeping focused on the future as “it only gets better.” About Gail Davis Davis' decades of corporate marketing and events management were the launch pad for GDA in 1999. Before founding the company, she spent two decades with the global technology conglomerate Electronic Data Systems (EDS, which became part of Hewlett Packard Enterprise and now operates as MicroFocus and DXC Technology) in Dallas. While at EDS, she discovered Nando Parrado, a heroic survivor of the 1972 Andes plane crash that took the lives of many rugby players. Parrado was the keynote speaker for the company's marquee event. Based on the success of those early corporate events, Parrado signed an exclusive agreement with Davis, as it was her efforts that convinced him to share his story after so many years. It was the partnership with Parrado that eventually anchored the creation of GDA. Today, Davis continues to discover new talent and take the professional speaking industry by storm. She is credited with bringing Parrado's harrowing experience to life in the New York Times best-selling book, Miracle in the Andes. It is written as a first-person account of the Andes plane crash. Most recently, at her encouragement, Parrado lent his personal account to the acclaimed new documentary, “I am Alive,” featured on The History Channel. Under her passionate leadership, GDA Speakers has vetted and curated a number of highly qualified speakers who they trust and deliver with confidence. In the first 17 years, they assembled a database of over 5,000 speakers. Then in order to add more value to their clients they cut the list in half. Only featuring and working with the top speakers in each of the many categories sought by their clients. Her successful business approach and passion have also impacted the industry. Davis was the 2011-2012 President of the International Association of Speakers Bureaus (IASB). Previously, she served as an IASB Governor where she developed new education programs for members worldwide and drew increased investment in the industry. Davis is a member of the Entrepreneur Organization. She is also a supporter of numerous community organizations. She was named to the University of Oklahoma Gaylord College Board of Visitors in 2014. She was the co-chair of the 2014 Soup's On! Luncheon, which is the major fundraising force of The Stewpot Alliance benefiting the programs of The Stewpot in Dallas. The 2014 Luncheon was the most successful luncheon to date. In 2011, the Dallas Business Journal honored her as one of Dallas' Top 25 Women in Business. Davis recently hiked the Grand Canyon Rim to Rim as a part of a fundraiser for Project Athena. She is a graduate of the Gaylord College at the University of Oklahoma where she was honored as a Distinguished Alumni in 2018. A native of Oklahoma, Davis resides in Dallas.   Show Highlights During this episode: Defining Disruption: Sentiment is in the eye of the beholder [1:09] Gregg's challenge to you, the listener [3:00] Welcome guest, Gail Davis [3:28] The “Top Three” Nando Parrado: Helps Gail to not sweat the small stuff [9:11] Brené Brown: Reminds Gail that “Clear is Kind” [14:40] Alicia Marie: Coached Gail to manage the tension between work and other fascist of life [18:36] Julie Lancaster: Helped Gail to fill a capability void [23:54] Groups that Support Gail: professional organizations (EO Dallas, IASB), family, friends, etc.  [24:30] Transformation & Disruption Lessons Learned: Advice for entrepreneurs [26:40] Navigating disruption in the speaking industry [31:44] Where the speaking industry is headed [42:23] You have to hear this… Focus on the Future: “it only gets better.” [53:44] Additional Information Contact Gail Davis: Gail's LinkedIn Gail's Twitter Gail's Website Gail's Blog Contact Gregg Garrett: Gregg's LinkedIn Gregg's Twitter Gregg's Bio Contact CGS Advisors: Website LinkedIn Twitter

This Christmas we bring you our most festive episode yet. That's right, the harrowing tale of survival cannibalism on the Andes Mountains made famous in the 1993 film Alive! Alive is a 1993 American biographical survival drama film based on Piers Paul Read's 1974 book Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors, which details a Uruguayan rugby team's crash aboard Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 into the Andes mountains on October 13, 1972. The film was directed by Frank Marshall, and stars John Malkovich, Ethan Hawke, Josh Hamilton, Vincent Spano, and Bruce Ramsay. Real-life survivor (and hero) Nando Parrado (portrayed by Hawke in the film) served as technical advisor.

(Aniversario del Rescate de los Sobrevivientes de los Andes) Falleció a los noventa y un años de edad, en febrero de 2020, poco más de cuarenta y siete años después de «la tragedia de los Andes». No se trata de uno de los dieciséis uruguayos que se salvaron, sino del chileno que les salvó la vida, el arriero Sergio Hilario Catalán Martínez. «Para mí especialmente, Sergio es un ejemplo de vida —dijo Roberto Canessa, que había caminado diez horas en la nieve con Fernando Parrado en busca de ayuda cuando, del otro lado del río, vieron a un hombre a caballo—. [Sergio era] un hombre que no dejaba la Cordillera nunca en esa época porque nacían los terneros y se los comían los pumas. Sin embargo, por nosotros —unos desconocidos— se subió a su caballo tres horas. Después le pidió a un camión de vialidad que lo llevara al destacamento de San Fernando para dar la noticia. De Santiago le dijeron que no era posible que hubiera sobrevivientes, [que] “ese hombre está borracho”. Pero [Sergio] tenía [como prueba] la carta que le había escrito Nando», explicó Canessa.1 Treinta y cinco años después, ya como médico, Canessa le devolvió en parte el favor al hacer las gestiones en nombre de sus compañeros por las que se logró con éxito un implante de cadera para que Sergio, que sufría de artrosis, pudiera volver a montar a caballo y recorrer aquellos parajes andinos.2 En marzo de 2005 Nando Parrado, a fin de acompañar en la celebración de las bodas de oro a aquel hombre a quien él describió como «humilde, amable e inmensamente digno», viajó nuevamente a Chile por invitación de la esposa Virginia, pero sin que Sergio lo supiera. Hizo el viaje junto con Roberto Canessa, Gustavo Zerbino y las familias de los tres. Al ascender por la angosta carretera de piedras con las áridas e irregulares cordilleras a su alrededor, divisaron una silueta a caballo y reconocieron a Sergio, vestido con su chaqueta corta, botas de punta y sombrero de ala ancha, a la usanza tradicional del ganadero chileno. Así que se detuvieron, y los tres sobrevivientes uruguayos se bajaron de los autos y caminaron hacia él. Cuando Sergio se dio cuenta de quiénes eran, «los ojos se le abrieron como platos y se le llenaron de lágrimas». Pero, antes de que pudiera decir nada, Nando dio un paso al frente y le dijo: «Perdone, buen hombre, pero nos hemos perdido otra vez. ¿Nos puede ayudar de nuevo?»3 Gustavo Zerbino, quien representó a los demás en el funeral, expresó: «A mí él me dijo que había actuado como hombre, como padre y como cristiano.... Para nosotros sigue siendo un padre.»4 En una entrevista hacía algunos años, su hijo Juan había dicho: «A mi padre y a mí nos quisieron poner muchas veces como héroes de la patria y hacernos reconocimientos públicos, tanto en Chile como en Uruguay, pero nunca los aceptamos. Nuestro mayor premio es que todos los sobrevivientes nos visitan cada año y nos invitan a Uruguay. Y cuando nos vemos, a él le dicen papá, y a mí, hermano...»5 Quiera Dios que el ejemplo que nos dejó Sergio nos impulse a todos a imitar —como lo hizo él— al buen samaritano de aquella conocida historia que contó Jesucristo.6 Pues de ser así es mucho más probable que algún día, en algún lugar de las montañas de nuestra vida, cuando necesitemos nosotros a un héroe que nos socorra, haya un Sergio Catalán que venga en nuestro auxilio.

(Víspera del Aniversario del Rescate de los Sobrevivientes de los Andes) El viernes 13 de octubre de 1972 el avión de la Fuerza Aérea Uruguaya, vuelo 571, se estrelló en la Cordillera de los Andes. Llevaba al equipo de rugby Old Christians de Montevideo, alumnos del colegio Stella Maris, y sus acompañantes, cuarenta pasajeros y cinco tripulantes en total, que se dirigían a Santiago de Chile para jugar un partido amistoso contra el equipo local Old Boys. Sólo dieciséis sobrevivieron. El 12 de diciembre, dos meses después del accidente, convencidos de que su única esperanza era ir en busca de ayuda, Nando Parrado, Roberto Canessa y Antonio Vizintín emprendieron una agónica travesía de los Andes a más de cuatro mil metros de altura. Milagrosamente, sus esfuerzos se vieron recompensados, y por fin fueron rescatados. Los editores del libro de Nando Parrado, titulado Milagro en los Andes: Mis 72 días en la montaña y mi largo regreso a casa, lo resumen de la siguiente manera: Nando «estuvo tres días inconsciente antes de despertarse y descubrir que... muchos de sus compañeros habían muerto o estaban agonizando, entre ellos su propia madre y su hermana. Los sobrevivientes se hallaban desamparados en un desierto glaciar sin alimentos y sin poder pedir ayuda. Lucharon para soportar gélidas temperaturas, aludes mortales y, más tarde, la devastadora noticia de que se había suspendido su búsqueda. A medida que pasaba el tiempo, Nando empezó a pensar cada vez más en su padre, pues sabía que debía de estar consumido por el dolor. Así que decidió regresar a casa o morir en el intento.»1 No es de extrañarse, entonces, que en el epílogo del libro Nando mismo escribiera lo siguiente: «Los sobrevivientes de la tragedia de los Andes nos reunimos cada año con nuestras familias el 22 de diciembre para conmemorar el día en que nos rescataron de la montaña. Celebramos esta fecha como si fuera nuestro cumpleaños conjunto, porque ese día todos volvimos a nacer.... Tal vez un extraño no note el cariño especial con el que mis amigos abrazan a sus mujeres o la ternura con la que acarician a sus hijos, pero yo sí, porque al igual que ellos, yo sé que todos esos detalles son maravillosos.»2 Más adelante Nando relata cómo es que contó su experiencia por primera vez en público: «Les guié por... el desgarrador dolor que sentí cuando murió [mi hermana] Susy, el terror que sentimos cuando escuchamos que la búsqueda se había suspendido y el horror de masticar la carne de nuestros amigos que habían muerto.... la noche del alud y los amargos días que lo siguieron... la expedición que estábamos seguros de que nos conduciría hacia la muerte.... [y] la verdadera enseñanza de la tragedia: lo que nos salvó no fue... nada más que el amor, el amor que sentíamos el uno por el otro, el amor por nuestras familias.... [pues] lo único crucial en esta vida es la oportunidad de amar y ser amado.»3 Más vale que cada uno tomemos a pecho esta lección. Amémonos los unos a los otros, tal como nos enseñó y dio ejemplo Jesucristo mismo.4 Pues, como dijo San Pablo, si bien hay tres virtudes que permanecen —la fe, la esperanza y el amor—, «la más excelente de ellas es el amor».5 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Nando Parrado, Milagro en los Andes: Mis 72 días en la montaña y mi largo regreso a casa (Barcelona: Editorial Planeta, 2006), contraportada. 2 Ibíd., p. 267. 3 Ibíd., pp. 280-81. 4 Jn 13:34-35 5 1Co 13:13

Tomorrow, October 13th. is the anniversary of one of history's most famous plane crashes. It was on October 13th, 1972 that a Uruguayan Air Force flight, chartered by a rugby team, crashed high up in the Andes mountains. Authorities tried for days to find the wreckage, but ultimately they gave up, unaware that there were survivors. For 72 days, they did what they had to do to survive -- including, unthinkably, feeding themselves by eating companions who had died in the crash. In the end, only sixteen people came down from the mountain, including 22-year-old rugby player Nando Parrado.

(Segundo domingo de julio: Día del Padre en Uruguay) «De pequeño, mi padre solía llevarme a la ferretería, enseñarme las estanterías y compartir con paciencia los secretos de todos los brillantes artículos en los que se fundamentaba la prosperidad de nuestra familia —relata el empresario y productor de televisión uruguayo Nando Parrado. »—Esto es un tornillo articulado, Nando. Sirve para sujetar cosas a una pared hueca.... Esto es un tornillo de ancla.... Tenemos tornillos de cabeza cuadrada, de cabeza Phillips y de cabeza ranurada; tornillos para metales y tornillos para madera.... Estas son tuercas de alas.... Esto es una arandela: refuerza un agujero en una lona para que puedas atravesarla con una cuerda para sujetarla.... Hay clavos normales, puntillas francesas, clavos para techos, clavos anillados... [y] más tipos de clavos de los que puedas imaginar... »Yo valoraba mucho esos momentos. Adoraba la amable seriedad con la que compartía sus conocimientos, y me hacía sentir cerca de él saber que creía que yo era lo suficientemente mayor como para confiarme su saber. De hecho, él no estaba simplemente jugando, sino que me estaba enseñando lo necesario para poder ayudarle en la tienda. Sin embargo, incluso de niño podía ver que lo que me estaba enseñando mi padre era un concepto mucho más profundo: que la vida es metódica, que la vida tiene sentido. »—Mira, Nando, [para] cada trabajo [hay una] tuerca, [un] tornillo, [una] bisagra o [una] herramienta [específica].... »Tanto si lo hacía a propósito como si no, me estaba enseñando la lección magistral que sus años de sufrimiento le habían enseñado: no estés en las nubes, presta atención a los detalles, a la realidad de las cosas, a sus tuercas y tornillos. No puedes construir una vida basada en sueños y deseos. La buena vida no cae del cielo, sino que te la construyes desde abajo, con mucho esfuerzo y con ideas claras. Todo tiene sentido. Hay reglas y realidades que no cambiarán para ajustarse a tus necesidades. Tu tarea es entender esas reglas. Si lo haces, y si trabajas duro y con inteligencia, todo te saldrá bien. »Ésa era la sabiduría que había forjado la vida de mi padre y que él me transmitió de muchas formas».1 Con este comentario Nando Parrado ilustra la lección magistral que enseña el siguiente dicho de los sabios: «Escucha a tu padre, que te engendró.... Adquiere la verdad y la sabiduría, la disciplina y el discernimiento, ¡y no los vendas!»2 Es que Nando escuchó a su padre, Seler Parrado, y aprendió no solamente la importancia de la función que tiene cada tuerca, tornillo, bisagra y herramienta en cada trabajo, para saber cómo venderlos, sino que también reconoció la importancia que tiene el aferrarse a la verdad y a la sabiduría, a la disciplina y al discernimiento, que había adquirido de él. Más vale que sigamos su ejemplo al prestarles atención a los que tengan lecciones valiosas que enseñarnos, sobre todo a quienes sean padres ejemplares, de modo que éstos nos motiven a serlo nosotros mismos. Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Nando Parrado, Milagro en los Andes: Mis 72 días en la montaña y mi largo regreso a casa (Barcelona: Editorial Planeta, 2006), pp. 35-36. 2 Pr 23:22,23

(Segundo domingo de julio: Día del Padre en Uruguay) «Mi padre, Seler Parrado, nació en Estación González, un polvoriento puesto fronterizo en el rico interior agrícola de Uruguay.... Su propio padre era un pobre vendedor ambulante que viajaba en un carro tirado por caballos de una estancia a otra, vendiendo sillas de montar, botas y otros productos de uso cotidiano en las granjas, a los dueños de [las fincas] o... a los robustos gauchos que vigilaban sus rebaños.... Cuando yo me quejaba de mi vida —cuenta el empresario y productor de televisión uruguayo Nando Parrado— mi padre solía recordarme que, de niño, su baño era un cobertizo de hojalata a quince metros de su casa y que no vio un rollo de papel higiénico hasta que cumplió los once años y su familia se trasladó a Montevideo. »... Al cumplir los seis años, él ya trabajaba durante horas en la pequeña casa de su familia, cuidando de los pollos y los patos, trayendo agua del pozo, recogiendo leña y ayudando a su madre a cuidar del huerto. A los ocho años ya se había convertido en ayudante de su padre, así que se pasaba... horas en el carro, yendo de [una finca a otra].... »... Cuando mi padre cumplió once años, su familia se mudó a Montevideo, donde su padre abrió una tienda en la que vendía todos los artículos que había ofrecido a los [dueños de finca y a los gauchos].... Al cumplir los veinticinco... mi padre empezó a [administrar] la tienda. El abuelo [la] había ubicado... estratégicamente, cerca de la estación de tren de Montevideo.... »Sin embargo, para cuando Seler asumió el control del negocio... los autobuses habían sustituido a los trenes como el medio de transporte más popular, y la estación de autobuses no estaba cerca de la tienda. Para agravar aún más la situación... los camiones y los tractores redujeron... la dependencia que tenían los granjeros de los caballos y las mulas, lo cual [resultó en] un espectacular descenso de la demanda de las sillas de montar y bridas que vendía mi padre.... »Entonces Seler hizo un experimento... [con el que] el negocio comenzó a prosperar.... En el plazo de algunos meses había quitado todos los utensilios agrícolas y había abastecido las estanterías de productos de ferretería. Seguía viviendo al borde de la pobreza y dormía en el suelo de una habitación en el primer piso de la tienda, pero a medida que las ventas continuaron aumentando, él se dio cuenta de que había encontrado su futuro.»1 En este mundo en que tantos padres les dan mal ejemplo a sus hijos, ¡qué bien que Seler Parrado haya sido tan buen ejemplo para su hijo Nando! Al ver que el negocio estaba en peligro de fracasar, corrió el riesgo necesario de tomar medidas prudentes para evitarlo. Es decir, puso en práctica el proverbio del sabio Salomón que dice: «El prudente ve el peligro y lo evita; el inexperto sigue adelante y sufre las consecuencias.»2 Fue así como, con el paso de los años, Seler llegó a ser ejemplo del siguiente dicho de los sabios: «¿Has visto a alguien diligente en su trabajo? Se codeará con reyes, y nunca será un Don Nadie.»3 ¡Quiera Dios que el ejemplo de este padre uruguayo nos inspire a todos los que somos padres, quienes jugamos un papel determinante en las familias de nuestra sociedad y en el futuro de nuestra nación!

Hoy compartimos con ustedes una charla de Majo Soler con Nando Parrado, gracias a Banco Santander. En este episodio van a hablar de cómo lo que nos sembraron termina floreciendo en la vida.

Roberto nació en Uruguay en 1953. De chiquito su espíritu rebelde y salvaje tenía mucho en común con el de su caballo que montaba para ir al Colegio Stella Maris y que volvía loco a los Christian Brothers Irlandeses comiéndole las plantitas cuando se escapaba. A su mamále sugirieron que Roberto empezara Rugby a ver si se domaba un poco. El amor por ese deporte fue enorme y se convirtió en un esencial del 15 inicial. Le decían "músculos" porque era una topadora. Ese amor por el rugby lo puso en un avión con sus amigos rumbo a Chile el 13 de Octubre de 1972. El desenlace es conocido por todos. Luego de haber sobrevivido junto a muchos de sus compañeros a un infierno helado con innumerables desafíos humanos, Roberto se embarca junto a Tintín (Antonio Vizintín) y Nando Parrado en una escalada interminable por 10 días cruzando la cordillera de los Andes con Alturas de más de 5000 metros y temperaturas de 30 grados bajo cero en busca de rescate para sus compañeros, en una lucha por sobrevivir y decirle a su madre y su novia que estaba vivo. Años después se convierte en cardiólogo infantil y en 35 años de carrera ha tocado los corazones de más de 100.000 personas, con luchas épicas para que los pacientes tuvieran una chance de sobrevivir. Luchador incansable, ejemplo para todos y líder en proyectos de todo tipo. Casado con Laurita su novia de ese entonces, tiene 3 hijos y adora a sus nietos. Con ustedes Roberto Canessa! Les recomiendo que lean el libro de Roberto, "tenía que sobrevivir", "I had to survive" y contraten sus charlas presenciales y online para inspirar a sus organizaciones a tomar acción.

El 13 de octubre de 1972, cuando Carlos Páez tenía 18 años, emprende un viaje a Chile que cambiaría su vida para siempre. El avión en el que viajaba Carlos Páez, junto con otros 44 pasajeros, se estrella en el medio de la Cordillera de Los Andes a 4200 metros de altura. Entre los 16 supervivientes se encontraba Carlos Páez, escritor y conferenciante, que ha recogido sus experiencias vitales en los libros ‘Después del día diez’ y ‘Desde la cordillera del alma’. Más allá de los gritos, el amasijo de hierros, los muertos y la historia épica que protagonizaron para salir de la cordillera después de 72 días, el autor recuerda cómo hicieron posible lo imposible. “Nuestra historia fue una historia netamente grupal, de trabajo en equipo. Tuvimos el accidente de avión, recibimos la noticia de que no nos buscaban más, tomamos la decisión de alimentarnos de nuestros compañeros muertos, sufrimos una avalancha, no funcionaba la radio…  El “no” fue permanente en nuestra historia. Pero el gran aprendizaje fue decir ‘sí’ al ‘no’”. Tras 10 días de búsquedas inútiles, en un lugar donde según señalan los expertos era imposible sobrevivir, las autoridades deciden suspender los esfuerzos y aceptar que ya no volverían con vida. 72 días después, cuando sus compañeros, Nando Parrado y Roberto Canessa atraviesan los Andes en busca de ayuda, el mundo se entera de que 16 han sobrevivido. La fe, la pasión, el trabajo en equipo y la actitud, fueron la clave en el desenlace de la historia más increíble de supervivencia que el mundo ha presenciado hasta el momento. Trabajo en equipo, toma de decisiones, rápida respuesta frente a lo desconocido, adaptación al cambio, tolerancia a la frustración, liderazgo, creatividad, humor, pasión o Actitud; son algunos de los temas fundamentales en esta historia.

In this episode or No Way but North, we are joined by Sean Mills, Northpoint Recovery's Admissions Coordinator and an Ashwood Recovery alumni. Recently celebrating 5 years of sobriety, Sean discusses how her hardships shaped her into who she is today. She also shares her favorite quote and what it means to her. “I tell them I am not at peace in spite of what I suffered, but because of it." - Nando Parrado

Tune in to today's episode of On the Spot and hear how Gail launched GDA Speakers, one of the top speakers bureaus in the country. After 20 years in the business, GDA Speakers has built a database of world-renowned thought leaders featuring top minds presenting on over a hundred topics. In the earlt 1990's Gail Davis was leading events at one of the world’s largest corporations, Electronic Data Systems (EDS, which now operates as MicroFocus and DXC Technology). After a hugely successful event, she was sitting with the CEO discussing plans for the next one, determined to make it better than ever before. Talk about a challenge. A few months later while watching the movie "Alive" Gail had a wild, but interesting idea to pitch Nando Parrado, the main subject of the movie as her next big speaker. It tooks some fierce determination and sluthing, but Gail secured him making the following year's event was a hit! Two year later, GDA Speakers was born. Gail on the importance of routine: [16:15 ]_ "I have a routine that I do every single morning. I write down ten things I am grateful for from the day before. I look at what I've got going on and I've really made massive strides in not overscheduling."_ Advice for rising entrepreneurs: [21:25)_ "Avoid absolutes.

Ma rencontre avec Nando Parrado est une des plus marquantes de ma vie. Il n’avait que 20 ans lorsque l'avion dans lequel il prenait place s'est écrasé dans les Andes. Et avec 15 autres personnes, il a tenu bon pendant 72 jours et il fut à l'origine de l'exploit que l’on connaît sous le nom de «miracle des Andes ». Restons connectés!

It was in the early ‘90s when event budgets were big and the stages were filled with former heads of states and retired Olympians that Gail Davis was leading events at one of the world's largest corporations, EDS. It's now Hewlett Packard Enterprise. After watching the movie Alive, decided to search for Nando Parrado, the main subject of the movie. After research and phone calls throughout South America, Gail convinced Nando to come to speak for the first time about his experiences. The event was unbelievable. People were more than moved; they were inspired by his story. Two years later, Gail took a bold step and left a successful twenty-year career and launched Gail Davis and Associates with only one speaker on a roster, Nando Parrado. Gail shares how creating experiences that are memorable has helped her build GDA and provide service and a trusted partnership with their clients.

In 1972 there was a historic plane crash; the only one in which the plane was flying at both cruising speed + altitude and had survivors. One of the survivors was Nando Parrado. In street clothes and without food, Nando survived the winter in the Andes. His story was told in the 1993 movie, Alive. He was played by Ethan Hawke. Today, we’re joined by Nando. He is one of my heroes and the most courageous survivor I’ve met. Don’t miss this unbelievable story of leadership and drive in the face of dire adversity. SHOW NOTES I was angry, but I couldn't feel pain or sorrow. In a survival situation, something is triggered to protect you because if you suffer that pain, it'd be too much to survive. Winter in the Andes: There's snow everywhere. There's nothing and no one coming. All the born leaders died, [so new] leaders emerged. It's the most fantastic leadership story ever told. I tried to leave. I'd walk 8 paces and I'd sink all the way to my waste in deep snow. What kept you going? "The only thing I knew was that I didn't want to die. I'd fight until I stopped breathing. My mantra was 'If I am breathing, I am alive.'" You are formed by the experiences of your life. I was a typical guy, but the leaders of our team died. Something is triggered inside of you [to become a leader.] Nando Parrado wrote his book Miracle in the Andes 30 years after the accident, as a gift for his father. "What my dad taught me when I was young saved my life in the Andes." I decided to have a second life. When you understand that there is only one, you live in a different way. Nando went to the glacier with his wife + daughters to honor his mother + sister. See the photo here.  If you live your life thinking that, if you changed something from your past, your present would be better: That's insane, because it didn't happen. Live in your present. Plan your future by living the best you can in your present. There is life after tragedy. Go forward and be resilient. Realize that life will not be perfect. People are afraid of losing things. I get it, but I lost everything when I was very young and I came back from that. I'm not afraid of losing things. I'm afraid of losing time to live.  NANDO PARRADO'S LIVE INSPIRED 7 1. What is the best book you’ve ever read? Books by Spanish Author Carlos Ruiz Zafon because, to me, a book is entertainment. A good time on a quiet night. He's poetic and simple. 2. What is a characteristic or trait that you possessed as a child that you wish you still exhibited today? To be more timid, I wouldn't go into some situations that later I regret. 3. Your house is on fire, all living things and people are out. You have the opportunity to run in and grab one item. What would it be? Photos of my grandparents. 4. You are sitting on a bench overlooking a gorgeous beach. You have the opportunity to have a long conversation with anyone living or dead. Who would it be? Pico Mendez from Uruguay. He devotes his life remarkably to helping people. I would ask "How do you do it? How do you find the time?" 5. What is the best advice you've ever received? Never look back because the only thing you get when you look back is a bloody pain in the neck. 6. What advice would you give your 20-year-old self? Don't change anything. 7. It’s been said that all great people can have their lives summed up in one sentence. How do you want yours to read? It was all worth it. *** If you enjoyed today’s episode: Please subscribe, rate & review wherever you get your podcasts. See you here next Thursday!

From the time the plane crashed on October 13, 1972 until their rescue on December 22, Nando Parrado and his fellow Uruguayan rugby teammates were forced to cross both physical and mental boundaries. After waking from a concussion only to learn that his mother had died on impact and his sister was near death, Nando became obsessed with surviving and emerged a hero after he and teammate Roberto Canessa walked for 10 days to find their salvation. Their story of courage, teamwork, determination and leadership, experienced at a level few have known, will leave you with a heightened awareness of the value of human life. Soon after the rescue of the 16 survivors, Nando worked with Piers Paul Read, the author chosen by the survivors to pen the best-selling bookAlive, which was made into the film of the same name starring Ethan Hawke as Nando. Nando is the author of the New York Times bestseller Miracle in the Andes: 72 Days on the Mountain and My Long Trek Home. In 2010, Nando was featured in the History Channel documentary I AM ALIVE: Surviving the Andes Plane Crash, which continues to air around the globe. In the 40 years since the crash, Nando has become a successful businessman and television producer. He is the CEO of four companies and hosts several popular television programs in Uruguay.In his spare time, Nando races motorcycles, sports cars, stock cars and watercraft.

During the days following the crash they divided out this food in very small amounts so as not to exhaust their meager supply. Fito Strauch also devised a way to melt snow into water by using metal from the seats and placing snow on it. The snow then melted in the sun and dripped into empty wine bottles. Even with this strict rationing, their food stock dwindled quickly.     In 1966, Nolan Bushnell saw Spacewar! for the first time at the University of Utah.
