The film "The Society of Snow," nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Film, has captured the world's attention with its intense narration of the Andes disaster. On October 13, 1972, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 crashed into a mountain ridge in Argentina, in the territory of Malargüe, with 45 passengers on board, including members of a rugby team. The survivors found themselves trapped in the snow without food supplies and had to resort to cannibalism to survive. But what really happened? In this video, we have decided to tell you with a 3D reconstruction what happened that day, providing a detailed and scientific perspective on the decisions, weather conditions, and navigation errors that led to the crash of Flight 571.
