2. Watch the video 



On 13 October 1972 a plane carrying 47 passengers and crew bound for Santiago, Chile, crashed in a remote part of the High Andes. After waiting several days, the 27 survivors of the crash realized that they had no chance of being rescued. They were stranded high in the mountains above the snow line, and although they could shelter from the worst of the cold inside the plane, they had nothing to eat except snacks and chocolates that the plane had been carrying. These soon ran out, and they were faced with starvation. Then one of the survivors suggested that there was just one chance of survival: they could eat the flesh of the passengers that had died in the crash. 

If you had been one of these surviving guys, would you have eaten the flesh of the dead people? Why? Do you have any other ideas?

  1. If I had been one of the initial survivors I would have eaten the fallen people's flesh also, although It had been gross.
    I had done it because I would have wanted to continue with my life so I would have done it to survive.

    The survivor from the video says they waited some days for a rescue, I think that was a mistake. They should have started looking for help immediately before they ran out of energy and food.

  2. I don't think I would have eaten other people's flesh in order to survive. That's kind of disgusting. I would have rather died before doing that. I wouldn't mind if someone had eaten my flesh, though.
