Now, Roberto Canessa, who was a medical student who'd booked the cheap flight for a short vacation in Chile.

Yep. He was among one of the first people to wake up in the plane because they were all gone. Yeah, of course. Yeah. In its slide down the mountain, the fuselage had shifted and come to a stop on its side, so it tossed the bodies of living people and dead people throughout the interior of the fuselage. Oh, God.

So Canessa quickly located his friend Daniel Maspons and helped to free him from his seat, and then they started making their way through the plane looking for survivors. And Roberto Canessa is a medical student, so he's trying to think of anything he can do to help anybody.

But when some of the survivors made their way out of the plane for the first time, they found themselves in the scariest scenario you can possibly imagine. Complete isolation. They were surrounded by mountain walls on three sides. And then the one open side looked straight down into a valley.

And they said it looked like it went on for miles. Like, just gone. There's no way out. Everywhere they looked, they said they saw ice, snow, and they couldn't tell whether it was... I mean, it was dozens and dozens of feet deep in places. Yeah. And because they hadn't planned on being in any cold temperatures. Yeah, they're going to Chile. They were going to Chile from Argentina. Like, what?

All of the passengers had dressed in warm weather clothing. Of course. So none of them were prepared for the literal sub-zero temperatures outside.

Now, once outside, two of the rugby team members spotted their friend Carlos Valletta, and this is very sad, a few yards from the plane, and neither of them knew how Carlos had come to be so far outside of the plane. Yeah. But he seemed confused and was walking in the direction of that steep valley. Oh, God.

And so they all called out to him, hoping that their voices would bring him back towards them. But it looked like he couldn't see them. He couldn't hear them. And he just walked deeper and deeper into the snow. And they were terrified that he was going to slip and fall into the valley. So two of them tried to walk out there or like crawl out there to get to him.

But the snow was too deep and the incline was way too steep. And so they only made it about a dozen or so feet before turning back. And they all just watched helplessly as Carlos stumbled in the snow. And then he tried to stand, but he slipped a second time. And then he just tumbled into the valley below.

Now, back inside the plane, the two medical students, Roberto Canessa and Gustavo Serbino, they did their best to try to help the injured people. But you don't even have anything. They're medical students, too. They are not doctors yet. They only know what they know. And then again, like you said, they don't have any medical supplies, really. Right.
