The survivors 2 inside the remains of the plane, using seat covers for blankets, and waited for a 3 that never came. Days turned into weeks. It was urgent to find a way to 4. Three of the passengers—Canessa, Parrado, and Vizintin—volunteered to 5 through the mountains to search for help.

By December 21, the extremely 16 men made it to the town of Los Maitenes, and a rescue team was sent immediately to 17 for the survivors who were still high in the Andes.
Finally all of the remaining survivors were 18 . The memories of the crash in the Andes would be with the friends forever, but for now, their terrible 19 was over. They had made it out—20 .
