From Eduardo Strauch's book, Out Of The Silence:After The Crash
"Nando remembers his arrival at the summit of what he named Mount Seler"
After his father, the man driving him to return home.
Sobbing, wailing, etc etc

"Oh why would they not go to Ireland on the Alive book tour? They went to mainland Europe and England, as well as North America."
Well, as a wise man once said.

Nando Parrado via his Instagram, regarding the passing of Daniel Fernández Strauch
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rough English Translation of caption (Alt ID in Spanish): In memory of Daniel Fernández
On May 8th, my dear friend and soul mate, Daniel Fernández, passed away. His absence leaves a deep silence, but his memory resonates loudly, because Daniel was no ordinary man: he was an example of resilience, courage, and joy even in the darkest moments.
During the tragedy in the Andes, when many would have given in to fear or despair, Daniel was a pillar. His strength was expressed in a thousand ways, but above all in his ability to remain calm when chaos engulfed everything.
Because Daniel wasn't just strong. He was also cheerful. He had a sharp sense of humor, sometimes ironic, always timely. And in the 53 years that followed, his humor continued to be a bridge between yesterday and today. He also knew very well that friendship, when it's true, becomes eternity.
Today I say goodbye with my heart in my hand, but also with gratitude. Thank you, Daniel, for being part of my life. Thank you for your strength, for your humor, for your love. Farewell, dear friend.

Furthermore, JA Bayona recounts an interaction he had with Daniel, writing in the comments of this post the following.

English: Beautiful words, Fran. I remember what Daniel said to you after seeing the film: "I wish I could have been like you, Fran." What a generous guy.
Gracias por su valentía, señor. Descanse en paz.💙☘️
