It was a Uruguayan Rugby team. The subject of the Book and subsequent movie, “Alive.”
Which was precisely the first thing that came to my mind.
It's amazing that *anyone* ended up surviving.
They were on the mountain so long that rescue planes simply gave up searching.
The survivors finally realized that nobody would EVER come, and made one last ditch effort to hike to freedom.
You read this heart-wrenching story of three volunteers struggling to get to the top of their mountain, and look all around and realizing that their mountain was but ONE mountain in a sea of hundreds of other mountains.
A real page turner!
That was in one of those Fairchild puddle jumpers. Pilot made a navigation error.
