1-     Give a short summary of this story (in your own words in an elaborate answer):

In this story a rugby team travels from Uruguay to Chile to play a match. The plane wasn’t full so they invite friends and family. The plane was not supposed to pass through the Andes but somehow the pilot made a mistake and they crashed. Only a few passengers survived but days later other few were killed and only 16 remain alive. They were rescued thanks to two of the survivors Nando and Roberto who had made an expedition and found a farmer who helped them. The next day they retourn to the mountains to rescue the other survivors. They were rescued 72 days later of the crash.
