Talk:Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571

message: In the infobox, is it really worth noting the date when the last survivors were rescued? The actual accident (or crash), which this article mainly is about, occurred on October 13 (although the initial survivors were fighting for their lives a couple of months), so I suggest removing "December 23".

thread_title:  "Date" in accident summary 

message: the section,"high mountains with peaks of 25,000 to 26,000 feet (7,600 to 7,900 m) were almost at the limit of the FH-227D's maximum operational ceiling of 28,000 feet (8,500 m)" has incorrect data. The highest mountain in South America is Aconcagua, at 6980m, so these referenced peak heights are wrong. 37.10.74.188 (talk) 23:50, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Miles trekked 38 or 24? 

message: Hi,
2 people can't trek out and then return to a remaining 16 survivors when there were only 16 survivors in total. 
Can someone correct (it is the final bit of the introduction).
Not sure if it is at the end too - forgot to look.
All the best. Martinsnos (talk) 20:19, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

message: In addition, the event has received mentions in many other works.
====Books====
*Stephen King (1977). The Shining. King references the crash in his book set at an isolated hotel in the Rocky Mountains during its harsh winter months. Wendy develops a fear of the hotel's elevator, specifically of being trapped inside with no one else around to save them, and Jack Torrance speculates that "she could see them growing thinner and weaker, starving to death. Or perhaps dining on each other the way those rugby players had."
