Footie team crashes in the Andes. They eat their crash mates to survive. Tons of reading material, podcasts, and even a movie (Alive!) about it. Despite it being a Hollywood thing the movie is pretty accurate to what happened. 40 something in the plane, something like 15 survived to rescue. Like 10k foot elevation in the Chilean Andes for 70+ days.
Fucking harrowing. I am doing it zero justice, and not doing justice to the survivors stories. It’s worth the rabbit hole.
ETA - I think Last Podcast On The Left did something about it. It’s worth the listen.
The part of the book with the poop stick is the best part.
