Chile Plane Crash Survivors Forced to Consider Cannibalism to Survive
Survivors of a plane crash who spent five days in freezing temperatures in Chile said they considered eating the pilot, a British newspaper reports.
According to The Guardian, the Cessna 208 was just 10 minutes from landing when it crashed into a Patagonian mountain near the border with Argentina on Saturday.
“We were flying in very bad conditions. There was rain and sleet. Suddenly, we went into a cloud and when we came out, we were in front of the mountain,” passenger Jose Miguel Almonacid told The Guardian. “I managed to scream ‘watch out’ when I heard the explosion.”
The pilot, Nelson Bahamondes, survived the crash but died from blood loss two days later. “He had a cut on his head, a big wound and he lost lots of blood,” said Victor Suazo, a Chilean police officer who was on board.
