Incredible stories about a group of people who practice cannibalism in order to maintain his life. The disaster made people no longer able to think normally. Imagine, stranded in remote mountains in winter, without food, what to do in order to survive?
One of the most famous story is the Uruguayan Air Force plane crash in the Andes in 1972. For the sake of surviving passengers are forced to eat the bodies of their friends. Here are the stories of famous cannibalism that occurred because of the disaster.
The fall case Uruguayan Air Force Flight plane in the Andes.
This is the most famous cases of cannibalism in history, occurred in the mountains of Chile, Andes, Argentina border-Chilli in the winter of 1972. The event began with the fall of the Uruguayan Air Force plane chartered Flight 571 carrying 45 passengers, including a rugby team and their families, in the mountains of Chile, the Andes, October 13, 1972.Of the accident, 29 passengers survived, but the rugged terrain made one after the other casualties. Eight people died buried in avalanche, several others followed into the afterlife for various reasons, among which, unusually cold temperatures and injury.
Practically the only remaining 16 people, they successfully delivered on December 23, 1972. Even then, after they themselves are struggling to seek help, as the rescue operation had been discontinued long ago. Local authorities already consider them as the disappeared were not discovered until the victim finally came alone to report their location.
Imagine, at an altitude of 3,600 meters above sea level at the time of the winter was a great-great. Heavy snow, freezing almost all of them. The victims of this, only the clothes they wear, no food, anyone can not think normally. How to survive, that's the only thing they have in mind.
The only way to survive is to take some of their friends who had been killed. This is not an easy decision, even too heavy, but it must be done if you want to live. Typically, in such a tight squeeze, new people understand how valuable a life. And they fought to defend it, no matter what.
Painful, they are monitored by radio that they were stopped because the search for the crash site was not found. Their rescue operation suspended after eight days of searching, or 11 days they fall on the mountain. The authorities consider all the victims would have been no survivors. Understandable, mountainous location it is very difficult to access, while from the air looks all white as snow. Unfortunately, the plane was white.
Exactly, they survived 72 days before the rescue team finally found. Even then, after two of the victims, Nando Parrado and Roberto Canessa, struggling to find help. They went down the mountain, looking for a way to 'life'. During the 12 days both difficult path, locals, Sergio Catalan, find them.
Ending , all victims ( 16 persons ) admitted to hospital suffering from Santiago and treated for altitude sickness , dehydration , frostbite , broken bones , scurvy and malnutrition . This extraordinary experience , filmed in 1993 , and has since become one of the most famous magical story of all time. In 2006, Nando Parrado, one of the survivors , recorded the dramatic experiences in a book called Miracle in the Andes : 72 Days on the Mountain and My Long Trek Home.
Franklin Expedition.
This is most regrettable expedition of all time which is popularly known as the Franklin expedition . A naval officer with experience and many times leading the expedition , and the time in 1845, he ordered Sir John Barrow led another expedition , which completed the mapping of the northwest part of the tip of Canada and sailed the North Pole .The expedition itself is made of two ships, Erebus and HMS Terror, two advanced ship of its time. But the sophistication of the technology, can not beat nature. It is said that these two ships besieged ice in Victoria Strait near King William Island in the Canadian Arctic. Franklin and 128 crew and researchers, is lost. The fate of the Franklin expedition was revealed centuries later. During the search continue, even with the lure of prizes.
A search led by Francis Leopold McClintock in 1859 discovered a note left on King William Island on the details of the expedition. Search was continued until the 19th century. It was only in 1981, through a research team of scientists led by Prof. Owen Beattie, an anthropologist from the University of Alberta, managed to uncover some of their findings in terms of Beechey Island and King William Island. http://www.primadonablog.blogspot.com
At Beechey Island where some of the crew were buried, it was found that they died of pneumonia and perhaps tuberculosis and lead poisoning. But it is also a surprising discovery in King Williams Island where cannibalism due to starvation and eventually all killed.
Pope hunter ship Essex.
The story of cannibalism to survive among sailors actually not a new thing. Even in the early 19th century maritime world rife with horrific stories of that sort. One example is the Ship Essex, whaling ship, in 1820.The story begins with the shipwreck in 1820, where whale rammed the Essex cause the ship to sink at 2,000 nautical miles (3,700 km) west of the western coast of South America. A total of 21 crew managed to escape on Henderson Island, Pitcairn archipelago. On the island they last Henderson by eating fish, birds also existing plants, also found a small fountain to drink.
Unfortunately , the natural resources of the island was just enough for a week , then nothing else can be eaten . They are still trying to survive by drinking his own urine , but not for long . So , predictably what crossed their minds to be able to survive . This is where the applicable law of the jungle , the strong who wins. They slaughtered each other , eat each other . No friends, even brothers , all slaughter each other. Tragically, the ship's captain, Pollard come take her cousin, Owen Coffin , who previously killed by his own men .
The new aid comes almost a year later by a fishing vessel Dauphin Nantucket 95. When the two survivors, Captain Pollard and Ramsdell, a cousin of the man who killed Coffin Pollard. Separately another crew rescued Indian merchant ships. A total of eight people have been rescued. Their recognition, they managed to survive by eating the bodies of seven friends.
Siege of Leningrad.
This is the story of the siege of the longest and most heavily throughout history. Siege of Leningrad or popular as well as the blockade of Leningrad, was a prolonged military operation carried out by German and Finnish defense forces to blockade of Leningrad on 8 September 1941. The siege lasted for two years.The city is completely isolated, both on land and sea. For months, the only inhabitants of the lake to eat there, but when winter comes, the frozen lake. The Soviet Army had difficulty to supply food. Society began to starve.
To meet the demand for food, the baker in town was ordered to make bread mixed with sawdust. It is solely for survival. The rest, birds, rodents, and other food-eating in normal conditions disgusted to eat, forced into a meal. It's all for the sake of the stomach, and after life. When nothing else to eat, then start going on cannibalism.
This practice occurs widespread throughout the city, to the point that police need to patrol the Leningrad feel anti-cannibalism, to prevent the condition getting wild and uncontrollable. And that's the purpose of Germany and Finland to the Soviet dropping. Even later recognized that this cannibalism in fact save the lives of many people, but at that moment the police still prohibits the act.
Even so cannibalism still occur despite furtive. It is estimated, that tragedy led to the deaths of 1.5 million people. Based on the record, this is not the first time the Soviet people did cannibalism. Previously, the 1932-1933 famine in Ukraine which causing widespread practice of cannibalism occurred in the region.
Holocaust.
Until now the event is still a source of debate. The Holocaust was the systematic genocide of Nazi Germany committed against ethnic groups, religious, national, and secular during World War II. The Jews in Europe are the main victims of the Holocaust, the Nazis called the "Last Resolution Against the Jewish Question".The number of Jewish victims is generally said to reach 6 million people. Genocide is created Adolf Hitler carried out, among others, with shots, torture, and poison gas, in the ghetto and concentration camp.
In addition to Jews, other groups deemed by the Nazis "unpopular" among others, is the nation of Poland, Russia, parts other Slavic, adherents of the Roman Catholic religion, the disabled, mentally handicapped people, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses (Jehovah's Witnesses), communists, tribal gypsy (Rom and Sinti people) and political opponents. They also arrested and killed.
If also calculate these groups and the Jews also, the number of victims of the Holocaust can reach 9-11 million. Sadism Germany treats his captive life story that has become the decades up to now. What and how they are treated to be a tale that invites unremitting tears and anger.
That said, this German war prisoners starved in concentration camps established German. The impact, in order to survive, the prisoners also prey on each other mutually.
Alferd Packer.
Alferd Packer (21 November 1842 - 23, 1907) commonly known as the only American ever convicted of cannibalism demands, despite the fact that demand is murder, not cannibalism. Members of the famous Donner Party was not convicted of cannibalism in California, because cannibalism is not legally a crime in the United States.On February 9, 1874, he was with 5 other people on an expedition in the mountains of Colorado. Two months later Packer returned from the expedition alone. When asked where the people who had gone with him, Packer said that he had killed them all forced to survive by eating her friend's body.
