Uruguayan Flight 571 crashed into the Andes in 1972, and this picture was the last one taken before the plane came crashing down. Although 27 people out of the 45 who were aboard the plane survived the crash, they weren’t rescued until 72 days later and had to survive out in the Andes.

16 of the 27 people managed to stay alive by the time they were found by the rescuers. The rest were unable to survive the terrain and many of them starved to death.
