70 DAYS ($70,000)

On October 13, 1972, a Uruguayan rugby team, along with friends, family, and flight crew (45 people in total), was onboard Flight 571 bound for a match in Santiago, Chile when their plane crashed into the remote Andes mountains.

Stranded at an altitude of over 11,000 feet and facing extreme cold, lack of food, and treacherous terrain, the survivors had to face the harsh reality of their situation. They struggled to stay alive in the freezing temperatures, surviving on extremely limited supplies.

With no way to communicate and rescue efforts having been called off, the survivors faced a bleak fate. On December 12, two members of the group, Nando Parrado and Roberto Canessa, decided there was no choice but to embark on an extraordinary journey to find help. Battling through snow-covered peaks and dangerous crevasses, they hiked for ten days across the dangerous mountains to reach civilization.

After more than two months of isolation, 16 survivors were finally rescued and brought back to safety! What does that have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role? Nothing.
