Survivors Of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571

Roberto Canessa Urta (left photo), one of two plane crash survivors who trekked through the Andean wilderness for ten days to fetch help, walks beside one of the soldiers who formed a rescue party 12/22 to after 14 other survivors who remained with the plane since it crashed 10 weeks ago. At right, an unidentified survivor, his face showing the strain of his ordeal, is carried to infirmary following rescue. A Chilean Air Force helicopter flew to the crash site and rescued six survivors but high winds and heavy snow prevented it from making a return trip for the remaining eight. The accident claimed 29 lives.
