On October 13, 1972, a plane carrying 45 passengers crashed in the Andes Mountains. Among the survivors was Gustavo Zerbino, a young Uruguayan rugby player whose courage, faith, and determination became part of one of the most extraordinary survival stories of our time.

🎙 In this emotional and powerful interview with EWTN Vatican Correspondent Paola Arriaza, Zerbino recounts the moment the plane went down, how the survivors endured freezing temperatures and hunger, and how prayer and faith became their lifeline.

🙏 “Every night, we prayed the rosary... even after the avalanche took eight of our friends—we still gave thanks for being alive.”
💔 “We were not rescued. We walked out of the Andes on our own.”
✝️ “God was our water, our warmth, our love. We felt His presence all around.”
