When the Apollo 13´s team is about two thirds of the way to the moon their oxygen tank one explodes with the second one with only little oxygen left in it. The team has to get home safely with little time and resources. The Apollo 13 team decided to still go to the moon, or at least go into the atmosphere to slingshot them back to Earth. The team safely made it back home by splashing into the Pacific next to Samoa. The Apollo 13 team trusted in each other and successfully made it back to

Now as a group, we had to come up with a plan on how to survive until help arrived. The goal was to come to a consensus as to what steps should be taken until help arrived. There was urgency with the situation, as the plane had crashed in a desert. The conditions the survivors faced were not only immediate but also extreme.

Only three men from the plane survived, left stranded floating on a raft where food and drinking water was very scarce and the heat was causing them to lose their minds. "Take me home alive and I will seek You and serve You my entire life."(qtd. in brainyquote.com). After he made that promise with God things slowly started to look up for Louie, Louie wrestled with a shark and he killed it which gave them all meat to eat to add some of the weight they have lost from not eating on the raft. One day a plane came flying over Louie and the others in the raft and began shooting at them, Louie and the others jumped in the water and hid under the raft hoping the plane wasn’t going to come back for more. Around the 30th day Mac one of the survivors from the plane crash died on the raft. Louie and Phillip wrapped up Mac’s body and pushed it out in the Pacific ocean. On the 47th day of surviving on the raft Louie and Phillips were picked up by a Japanese

The team were on their way to play in a South American Cup finals game when the plane went down with 77 people on board. Chapecoense players Alan Ruschel, Helio Neto, and Jakson Follmann were the only members of the team that survived the crash.

The men on the James Caird survived their voyage because they were positive during all of the worst situations. In the narrative Worsley wrote, “We sat as still as possible, if we moved a quarter of an

Marcus Luttrell, the Lone Survivor said, “Don’t let your thoughts run away with you, don’t start planning to bail out because you’re worried about the future and how much you can take. Don’t look ahead to pain. Just get through the day.” Live for the moment and don’t take anything for granted. Life is boring without some risk in it. That is how you learn and become better. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, but never run when times are tough. You must have a purpose for everything you do otherwise there is no reason to even try. There’s a certain drive in everyone’s heart that makes them strive for something they truly care about. Marcus Luttrell once said, “Anything worth doing is worth overdoing. Moderation is for cowards. There is a storm inside of all of us. A burning. A River. A drive.” A drive to succeed and will to get the job done for a purpose. Anything you do should be done with your heart. Put your mind to it and do the best that you can do always. There’s no point in doing anything unless you do it right and you can never do it right unless you try. In the Lone Survivor they put strong emphasis on living with a purpose and that they do the things they do with all their heart. Simply because they will never do anything without putting their minds to

What does it take to be a survivor? Have you ever heard of Bear Grills? He is a man who was British special forces and was injured in a parachuting accadent. Now he is a world renoun survivor because he chose to get over his fear by climbing Mount Everast. Keep in mind he was once arrested for stripping butt naked and running home. Bearhas went through hell and back before breakfast. When surviving it is a more of a mental battle than it is physical. Anything is possible if you believe it in your mind and have the will to do it to prove to yourself that you still can. Like a man climbing Mount Everast with a broken back. Surviving isn't always surviving. When you are lost and up against the wall a part of yourself is lost never to be found

The Andes Survivors live to tell a courageous tale of what it takes to survive after losing all hope of rescue. On October 13, 1972, a Uruguayan rugby team, along with friends and relatives, flew across the Andes mountains to Chile. Expecting to arrive safely to their destination, passengers aboard Flight 571 crashed due to a pilot’s navigation error. When the pilot notified air controllers of his position, they cleared him to begin descension. However, the location of the aircraft was misjudged by the pilot, causing them to crash into the Andes mountains, losing all contact with air control. The plane went down after losing its right then left wing, and crashing into a valley of the Andes near the Chilean border. Of the 45 people aboard the

There are many things that could have been put into play to prevent this disaster. A very important one is better preparation for climbing. Simple things, like fixing ropes or getting more radios could have helped immensely, and prevented many deaths. For example, we are shown one possible effect of something basic being ignored

To survive a plane crash or a shipwreck it would take miracle . People in situations like these, have survived the terrible occurrence that happen to them by just sticking together. I probably don't know what it take because personally this will probably never happen to me ,but if it did then i would put to use the skills Bear Grylls tought me on tv . I would help my loved ones first then other people. I believe probably helping other would lower my chances at living because others would compete for food and we would probably end up dying.

On February 17 team member Edgar Evans collapsed and died. One month later Lawrence Oates walked into a blizzard, never to be seen again. Within two weeks-around March 29-the end came for the others, including Robert Scott. The men died 11 miles from a supply of food and fuel.”

They were now in survival mode, fearing cannibalism on the islands they came across. Throughout ninety days at sea under terrible conditions, the survivors held on to life as one by one began the thought of giving up. Survival was not just a word anymore it was now turned into an action, fighting with hunger, thirst, disease,weakness and most important fear.

On October 13, 1972, flight 571 crashed in the Andes carrying a rugby team along with its family and friends. Out of the 45 passengers and crew members, there was a total of 29 fatalities. Over the course of 72 days, people either died due to weather, injury or an avalanche leaving only 16 survivors. This group of people had to turn to desperate measures including cannibalism in order to survive. Their will to survive and strength to motivate each other is one many conclude as a miracle. How one may ask a group of people survived in the Andes for 72 days? The answer is communication. The film Alive (1993) directed by Frank Marshall recalls the events that happened on those mountains in 1972. In this event, the goal was to survive no matter what it takes. Through group communication, group development, and leadership, we can further observe that this small group successfully achieved their goal.
