Yes. Spoiler alert. Yes. And like after ripping each other, being buried in the snow, hit by an avalanche. By a motherfucking avalanche. Torn out of the snow. They all just immediately start digging for the other people. They're not like taking a second to be like, oh my God, I just got hit by an avalanche. They're all just running on crazy adrenaline. Outside the plane, there's a blizzard raging.

So. by the way inside they're doing their best just to get everyone out of this fucking snow and in filling the plane with densely packed snow the avalanche also blocked every exit and they were now trapped in the fuselage no yep buried to their waists in freezing snow

I have no idea. I mean, some of them most certainly did. Yeah, of course. And they didn't know whether the weight of the snow on the top of the fuselage was enough to crush them. They had no idea how much snow was on top of them.

Prado later said, we didn't know if we had enough air. We didn't know if we had 2 meters, 4 meters, or 50 meters of snow on top of us. Oh, my God. They had no idea. And equally bad was the realization that not everyone had made it through the avalanche. Yeah. Some had been completely buried by the compact snow and others had been crushed by the falling debris from the makeshift wall.

Like, can you imagine? No. No. Of the 27 survivors who laid down to sleep that night, eight died in the avalanche. Wow. Those killed were Carlos Roque, Daniel Maspons, Juan Carlos Menendez, Liliana Methel, Gustavo Nikolic, Marcelo Perez, Enrique Platero, and Diego Storm were all killed in the avalanche. That's so sad. Now, a few hours later, a second avalanche struck. No. No. Yeah.

But the only good thing was that they had already been buried by the first one, so it just kind of rolled over the already buried plane. Okay. Once it felt safe enough to move without triggering another avalanche, Nando used a cargo pole to punch a large hole through the roof of the plane, which allowed fresh air to enter through. Wow.

But while it was keeping them from being suffocated by this, they were still buried. Yeah. And even if they could get out of the plane, the blizzard conditions outside were going to kill them.

Like, what do you do? I have no idea. The group spent four days buried in that plane. Wow. just waiting for the blizzard to pass. Four days. Stop it. At night, they slept in just like a tangle with each other, again, punching each other's arms and legs to try to keep circulation up.

On the fourth day, when they were finally able to emerge from the plane, they forced themselves into the cockpit and squeezed past the bodies of the pilot and co-pilot who were still there. And then they spent hours working in 15-minute shifts to dig out and exit through the broken windshield of the cockpit.
