Mountaineers in Chile have discovered the wreckage of a plane that went missing more than 50 years ago.
Twenty four people died when the aircraft disappeared in 1961 - among them eight players for what was then one of Chile's top football teams.

It's still aliens.
I’d imagine they also found d what was left of the frozen bodies with parts cut off.
The video wasn`t too specific on that.
But you can guarantee that a documentary team will find the location before to long , despite the best efforts to keep it quiet.
That was actually the Uruguayan plane crash, also in the Andes, in 1971, I believe. That one carried rugby players and their families and fans, most of the survivors made it by cannibalizing the dead; they ate the pilot and copilot first as they blamed them for the crash. No, Brian Williams was not on that plane and he was not among the rescuers; he was only a teenager serving Whoppers at Burger King in preparation for his “news” career.
Brian was in Afghanistan, embedded with the Mujahedin, fighting the Soviets back then.
Brian was in Havana, and interviewing Castro.
He was quite capable of being in two places at the same time, I am told. :-)
That was 1971, that’s about the time Brian, as Command Pilot on Apollo 13 saved the spacecraft and crew.
Soccer isn’t football either...
I felt a shock this morning when I read a column by Maureen Dowd in the NY Times critical of Brian Williams. We all know that NBC News couldn’t give a farthing what WE think about his lying and the impact on what he and their network present as “news” (I haven’t watched network news on a regular basis for 30 years). They DO care what the rest of the “establishment” thinks, however, and this ain’t good news for the career of Brian Williams; once the clouds start gathering at the NY Times, they will have pouring rain at NBC and Brian Williams may be back to serving his Whoppers at Burger King and not on the nightly “news”.
Soccer is indeed football in Latin America and Spain. I leaned to play “futbal” in Spain growing up as a kid, when my dad was stationed there in the military. It is not American football, but it is called “futbal” nonetheless.
He's a liberal and a liar. What else is new?
I heard that it was really Brian who invented the polio vaccine...and engineered and built the interstate highway system...and dug the Panama canal with a shovel. Let’s see, there was Paul Bunyan, John Henry, Pecos Bill, Finn MacCool, Chuck Norris and Brian Williams. All the rest sat and drank beer while Brian dug the canal. Oh, yeah, almost forgot, he was King Arthur’s favorite knight also.
OJT and good career prep, IMHO!
He was saving puppies from fires.
You cannot forget that he and Al Gore invented the internet AND Global Warming.
Common characteristics?
They are all men with creepy looking eyes.
There have been two movies made about the Fairchild 571 that crashed in the Argentinian Andes on October 13, 1972.
The first was a pretty low budget Mexican movie, Survive! (1976), which was not bad, though hard to find today.

The Hollywood version, Alive (1993), had a lot bigger budget, much better acting, and a lot more drama, but it feels more like a movie.

It was Brian Williams on board Apollo 13 who said,
“Houston, we have a problem.”
