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.

That 1993 movie version of “Alive” was pretty good; the History Channel has also done a quasi-documentary on the crash and survivors which is good. Several of the survivors did quite well after the crash: Roberto Canesa is a cardiologist in Uruguay and does the inspirational speaker for a fee bit in the US and elsewhere, as does Peraldo. The survivors got together on the 40th anniversary a couple of years ago and played the Chilean rugby team they were on the way to play in 1972 when the Andes crash occurred. Funny, Canesa ran for president of Uruguay on a conservative ticket the last time and got less than 0.1 percent of the vote; I don’t know what the problem was as he is quite charismatic and well-spoken.
