Read this today online: have some residue memories of this. Found it really interesting. Not quite right for the good news thread though so hence a separate topic :14:

Alive: Rugby Team's Fabled Survival In Andes
..............................................................................
As Uruguay take on England, Sky speaks to one of the Uruguayan rugby players involved in a miracle tale of survival in the 1970s.
...............................................................................
It came to be known as The Miracle in The Andes.
But Nando Parrado's story is so extraordinary, so unlikely, that 43 years later it still feels like a miraculous coming together of numerous miracles all at once.
Parrado, now in his sixties, was only 21 when his life changed.
His presentation of the story at London's Barbican last week was deeply affecting: a 90-minute monologue about staring death in the face, surviving against all odds and spending the next four decades re-evaluating the true meaning of life and love.
Parrado was one of 45 rugby players, family, friends and crew making a routine flight across the Andes from Uruguay to Chile.
