Andean Plane Crash Wreckage

(Original Caption) A decomposing body lies in snow outside the wreckage of the charted Uruguayan plane that crashed here October 13, while flying members of the Old Christian Brother rugby team of Montevideo to Santigao. The 16 young men who lived for 70 days inside the wreckage in the Andes Mountains apparently survived by cannibalizing the bodies of their 29 companions who died in the crash, a spokesman for the Andean rescue squad says December 26.
