Alto, burly, friendly eyes and deep, clear and slow speech, he still remembers as if it weighed the history of the plane crash he suffered in the Cordillera when traveling with family and friends to Chile to play a game of rugby for nearly 37 years. So, too, wishing her endless quest to icy mountains, with temperatures reaching 30 degrees below zero 72 days after being lost. Nando Parrado (60), one of the heroes of the "Miracle of the Andes."

The accident took place on Friday October 13, 1972. After the impact and subsequent avalanche killed 29 people, including mother and younger sister Parrado.

After the exhaustion of little food they had, the youth had to take the painful decision to feed on the remains of the deceased, a fact which undoubtedly saved their lives.

Ten days after the accident, after being in a coma for three days, Parrado heard on the radio, they managed to do work, that they Rescue workers abandoned the search for survivors. "Then I said I did not die here. Do not want to die sitting staring into his eyes. If I have to die I'm going to make walking or flat on the ice, "he said.

After a few days of preparation and after two failed attempts, Parrado and his friend Roberto Canesa left for help." When we the top of the first mountain I saw more mountains and snow. Only 30 seconds were enough for me deciding to proceed. The love my father gave me the momentum. I wanted you to know I was alive. "

" Ten days' march, and found the help ... Was 22 December. Ending our ordeal. "

" Even I have a life. "

Parrado said that today his life

"is full of my family, my friends, my work, my passions. Looking back makes me think of things that were not too pleasant. That's why I always like to look ahead. There are people that care too their jobs, their businesses, their homes or cars we forget that still has some life.
in Argentina All remember how terrible it was in 2001 and Uruguay was exactly the same. My four companies went bankrupt, but fortunately or unfortunately I had to spend more difficult things than that. And I said this is only the business part of my life.
I have my family, my wife and my daughters, my friends, creatures that want.

I told my wife, what shall we do? I bought a machine to cut grass and make myself a gardener, but you'll still. As I could compare, because he had lost everything when I was 22 years, the lack is an accessory material. Even I have a life and most precious

, my affections.
"I am a lover of life. Every time you breathe you realize that is blessed with absolutely fantastic. My passion was the engines, race cars and motorcycles, and always wanted to live those experiences, and that led me to travel. One day I met a girl who became the most of my life, my wife Veronique. "
" This story should be left as teaching that does not slacken when you think you're never tired. This is the first step of a long ladder. Nothing is done without effort. Everything costs. I always say you have to get all the carousels and eat all the sandwiches. Some I'm going to fall and others I liked but you have to live life and enjoy every breath you take, every breath. There are times when no one is going to help one and have to say 'this is mine, and I decide I'm alone. " Many people never do that here, always waiting for someone to fix problems. "
