This is the final photograph of the notorious Uruguayan Flight 571, taken just before it met with disaster in the Andes on October 13, 1972. Of the 45 people on board, 27 initially survived the crash. Facing extreme conditions for survival, they were compelled to resort to cannibalism. Ultimately, of the 27 who survived the initial crash, 16 were rescued after 72 days.

About 5 minutes later, our waiter came to the table and said we'd go out the back entrance. I spent most of the night in the Mandalay basement. |

I recall this should have been caught during the many inspections in those 7 years, as there was extensive nicotine staining (smoking was allowed on flights back then) where the bulkhead failed.

The rivet line on the right is accomplishing nothing, and the one on the right is accomplishing very little. All the stress is on the middle line. |

There is, however, a written account of the audio published by someone who claims to have listened to it during the investigation. I’ve heard the recording, my good buddy was the local biologist here in Kodiak and another friend was a technician for US Fish and Wildlife Service. He was in on killing the bear. What I remember from the tape was Treadwell yelling at his girlfriend to hit him with a frying pan and the girl screaming like an injured rabbit predator call. The pictures I saw showed some part of Treadwell’s body in the bears stomach and his T-shirt. Pretty grim |
