Excellent range of information and generous hospitality which together represented great value at $8 per adult.
Well worth a visit
I am really impressive of the strenght of the survivors. They are an example of what the desire to live is.
The film really moves you inside.
The plane did not have any emergency supply of food, water, clothes and radio-beacons capable to work in case of emergency landing in the mountains. It somehow reminded me a case with "Titanic" when its crew found that here not enough life saving boats for every passenger on the ship.
However, the remarkable part of this story is that the passengers - rugby team
from Uruguay, behaved like a real heroes. They survived freezing temperatures,
extreme cold, hunger, fatigue, and many other dangers but did not give up, helped
each other and some of them finally were able to come home. I admire their bravery, strength, inventiveness and collective responsibility of each other.
The museum thorough documented their story. We talked to museum curator and
director Jörg P. A. Thomsen and he provided us with a lot of emotionally moving
details about that time and atmosphere around the search. We recommend you to go and have a look if you’re in Montevideo!
