One of the most amazing stories regarding survival that ever happened. Similar to Ernest Shackleton’s epic voyage to rescue his friends.

Has it ever been considered that the top of airplanes should be a color other than white, to be more visable during a search?

The struggle that all of you went through was something that no one could possibly imagine, but the faith in God was continuous. The book changed my life, living each day to the fullest and to stop wanting for more/ be satisfied with what we have. I know now that no matter what I can make it, just never give up and never lose my faith in God. Peace be with you.

Hello I am so inspired by this story and look it up on the net evry so often. You people did what you had to do to survive and you are my heros I wish to meet with you some day, I live in South Africa. Dont by any means take what some heartless thugs say to heart ( as Ive already read above) they truly have no idea. I often think about you all – even though i do not even know you. I wonder what I would have done in that situation. I honour and respect all of you. You had an amazing experience. I hope to share the story with you some day face to face. Regards

What a hero! His story is nothing short of a miracle. His book is well written and I recommend it to all. He appears to be such a humble person for saving so many lives.

Your writing made me realise that the spiritual side of us comes from love of our family, friends, not from any religious based philosophy. Your book, for me, has been the most powerful book I have read. Thankyou.

Courage and Confidence are the greatest qualities of a person. The experience you had showed everyone around you that you had extensive courage and had the confidence to keep moving foward. The way you conquered the adversity and used what you could to survive is somthing very admirable. If it were me, and I was out there, I would of made the same decision as you did. Life is something every person gets once and you showed everyone that humans can face the worst problems. The experience you had made me know that I could do anything. If someone says that I cant do somthing, It inspires me to try harder and prove to them that I can. I have a personality that whatever I do, I do it with complete confidence and that is like you do when you face challenges. A hero is a person noted for feats of courage or nobility of purpose, especially one who has risked or sacrificed his or her life, and Nando Parrado fits that description.

Hey Parrado, your book made me wonder about other servival situations such as the survivor of the Bay of Pigs Invasion(1983) or the even the fighter pilot who whas shot down and survived 30 days in Pakastan(2003). It toook real guts to do what you did, and I respect it.
