1972年10月13日,一架载着乌拉圭橄榄球队的乌拉圭空军571号班机,由一架福克F27型双引擎客机执行任务。从乌拉圭蒙特维多飞往智利圣地牙哥参加比赛,在安地斯山脉因遇上乱流,偏离航线撞山,机身断为两截,12人当场死亡,而该球队内的大部分队员则生还,史称安地斯空难

然而,由于失事位置太偏僻的关系,再加上该处天气达零下40度,十分寒冷,机上有些人因失救、寒冷或遇上雪崩而死去。生还者希望能活着等待救援队的到来,可是他们从电台得知救援队已停止进行搜索行动,生还者只好以死者尸体充饥。其中两名球员在辛难的情况下步行9天落山,最终成功向他人求救,直到意外发生第72天后(即:12月22日)他们才被智利空军救援队救出,最终只剩下16名生还者。

此事件后来被改编为电影“Survive!”(1976年)及“天劫余生”(Alive,1993年)。

奇迹似的空难过程及搜救过程

在1972年十月不幸的13日的礼拜五十三日,一架 乌拉圭籍的 空军 双螺旋桨 的费察机FH-227载着 Stella Maris大学的"老基督徒橄榄球队" 橄榄球队 从乌拉圭的蒙特维多市, 经安地斯山到智利圣地牙哥.

其实行程自 十月12日就开始了, 当费察机自 蒙特维多机场起飞后, 就收到气候不佳报告,并改降至 门多萨. 十月13日,当飞机飞过其中一个山口时. 机长以为飞机已飞过智利的库利寇, 并一直在下降. 但事情并非如此. 实际上,费察机的高度只有29,500呎, 且飞机并不是直接从门多萨起飞, 经过安地斯山, 到圣地牙哥. 而是从门多萨往南飞到达安地斯山, 再转西方, 经过山口后, cross the mountains and emerge on the Chilean side of the Andes south of Curico before finally turning north and initiating descent to Santiago after reporting passing Curico. Since the pass was covered by the clouds, the pilots had to rely on the usual time required to cross the pass. However, failing to take into account strong headwinds that ultimately slowed the plane and increased the time required to complete the crossing, the turn and descent was initiated too soon, right into the middle of the mountains.

Dipping into the cloud cover while still over the mountains, the Fairchild soon crashed on an unnamed peak (later called Cerro Seler, also known as Glaciar de las Lágrimas or Glacier of Tears), located between Cerro Sosneado and Volcán Tinguiririca, straddling the remote mountainous border between 智利 and 阿根廷. The plane clipped the peak at 4200 m, neatly severing the right wing, which was thrown back with such a force that it cut off the vertical stabilizer, leaving a gaping hole in the rear of the fuselage. The plane then clipped a second peak which severed the left wing and left the plane as just a fuselage flying through the air. The fuselage hit the ground and slid down a steep mountain slope before finally coming to rest in a snow bank.
