Today would have been Susana Parrado's 72nd birthday.

Susana was 20 years old when she boarded Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 with her older brother, Nando, and her mother, Eugenia. Eugenia was killed in the initial crash, but Susana survived despite severe internal injuries. Despite her devastating prognosis and the lack of any real medical care, she lived for 8 days after the crash.

The team captain, Marcelo P茅rez, set aside rations of chocolate and creme de menthe for her from the group's extremely limited food stores. As soon as her brother, Nando, awoke from his 3 day coma, he dedicated himself to Susy's care, holding her to keep her warm, feeding her, rubbing her feet to keep her circulation and talking to her.

Susana lived for 8 days after the crash, dying on the 21st of October in the arms of her brother.

The happiest of heavenly birthdays, Susana 馃挍馃挍馃挍

Hoy hubiera sido el cumplea帽os n煤mero 72 de Susana Parrado.

Susana ten铆a 20 a帽os cuando abord贸 el vuelo 571 de la Fuerza A茅rea Uruguaya junto a su hermano mayor, Nando, y su madre, Eugenia. Eugenia muri贸 en el accidente inicial, pero Susana sobrevivi贸 a pesar de las graves lesiones internas. A pesar de su devastador pron贸stico y la falta de atenci贸n m茅dica real, vivi贸 durante 8 d铆as despu茅s del accidente.

El capit谩n del equipo, Marcelo P茅rez, le reserv贸 raciones de chocolate y crema de menta

para ella de las tiendas de alimentos extremadamente limitadas del grupo. Tan pronto como su hermano, Nando, despert贸 de su coma de 3 d铆as, se dedic贸 al cuidado de Susy, sosteni茅ndola para mantenerla caliente, aliment谩ndola, frot谩ndole los pies para mantener su circulaci贸n y habl谩ndole.

Susana vivi贸 8 d铆as despu茅s del accidente, muriendo el 21 de octubre en brazos de su hermano.

El m谩s feliz de los cumplea帽os celestiales, Susana 馃挍馃挍馃挍

I love the Animaniacs. They're just silly goofy lil guys. They're borderline eldritch horrors. No one knows what exactly they are. They can tear you apart emotionally, physically, and mentally while singing the catchiest song you've ever heard. They are protective of each other but would push their siblings off of a bridge without hesitation. There is no fourth wall. Dot is the ultimate icon and we do not deserve the queen she is. Yakko is technically the most responsible but also most ruthless. Wakko is sweetest most innocent disgusting boi. They are either here to help us learn an important lesson or drop an anvil on our heads for the fun of it. Reality bends before them. Just... the Animaniacs, man.

The doctors

Roberto Canessa was in his second year of medical school. Gustavo Zerbino was in his first. They were both only 19 years-old.

They administered first aid when the plane crashed and monitored the wounded until the last day.

Gustavo didn鈥檛 continue his studies because, according to him, he had seen too much death already.
