45 Photos Telling The Full Story Of The Miraculous Andes Tragedy
Just Hoping To Be Rescued

Bereft of activities, they passed the time sitting beside the wreckage, eyes peeled for a sign of rescue. To keep their spirits high, they endeavored to keep their minds away from their fallen companions. They remained steadfast in their conviction that rescue was imminent.
As long as hope lingered, they managed to summon smiles amidst adversity. A small radio they found became their only link to the outside world. It was their tether to home, to Uruguay, their constant reminder of the families awaiting their safe return.
