30 years ago today (13 Oct. 1972) the Uruguayan Old Christians rugby team
were scheduled to play the Chilean Old Boys in the Copa Amistad
tournament. Their airplane crashed en route in the Andes, and 16 of them
survived for 72 days before rescue, eating the bodies of people who died
in the crash. Of course, this is the incident which spawned both the book
and movie titled "Alive". Fast forward to 13 Oct. 2002; the remaining Old
Christians played against the Old Boys in Chile, winning 28-11.
