How did the Andes plane crashed?

The Andes plane crash, specifically the infamous 1972 incident involving Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, was primarily caused by a combination of poor weather conditions and navigational errors. The aircraft, carrying a Rugby team and their friends, encountered severe turbulence and low visibility while flying over the Andes mountains. After losing altitude and ultimately crashing, the survivors faced extreme conditions and had to resort to cannibalism to stay alive until they were rescued. The crash highlighted the challenges of mountain flying and the need for improved navigation and safety protocols.
