HAPPY BIRTHDAY (9/12/1950) TO THE MAN OF ALL TIME, NANDO PARRADO!

¡FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS, SEÑOR!

Nando and his wife Veronique van Wassenhove

She's a Uruguayan-born model whose parents immigrated from Belgium. They first met in 1974, when Veronique was dating Gustavo Zerbino's brother, Rafael, but reconnected in September of 1977, when Nando was racing in Belgium and she was working at the race in public relations. Earlier that year, she had been crowned Miss Punta Del Este. The couple got married in 1981.

They have two daughters, Veronica and Maria Cecilia:

Here's Nando with what I believe is Veronica as a baby:

Pete Townshend: "Can anybody play the drums?"A 19-year-old fan who scalped his ticket came to the stage. Bill Graham looked him in the eye and asked, "Can you do it?"The young drummer, Scot Halpin, finished the set and took a bow with the band. He was given a tour jacket and was later honored by Rolling Stone magazine.

"About the accident, twenty-six of us survived, as for me, my only injury was a sprained ankle, but now I’m fine. If God helps us, I hope we make it to Montevideo to celebrate our birthdays, something you have almost always fulfilled. Dear dad, I’m sending you millions of hugs and kisses. If you do not see me alive, you will see me in Heaven next to God. A big kiss from Carlitos Miguel, who always loves you.” - an excerpt of a letter written by Carlitos Páez and addressed to his father, Carlos Páez Vilaró, on the 23rd of October, 1972.

Today, October 13th, marks 52 years since the crash of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 on its way from Mendoza, Argentina, to Santiago, Chile.

17 of the 29 victims of the accident passed away during or shortly after the crash, or during the first night on the mountain. Below, you can find their photos and a short bio for each. May they rest in peace, and may their families find peace on this day and every day.

Eugenia Dolgay de Parrado, age 50. Eugenia was the mother of Susana and Nando Parrado, and had come on the trip at the invitation of her son. Eugenia is described by her son as a quiet but strong woman, “full of encouragement and sage advice, with deep reserves of resourcefulness and good judgment that won her the respect of everyone who knew her.” While waiting to take off from the airport in Mendoza, she handed out candy from her purse to the boys around her. Eugenia died instantly during the crash, and is buried on the mountain with her daughter, Susana. 

Graziela Gumila de Mariani, age 43. Graziela bought her ticket aboard Flight 571 at the last minute, as she was flying to Chile for her daughter’s wedding. She was sitting in the front of the plane, and suffered two broken legs during the crash. The boys tried to free her afterwards, but she was inextricably pinned by the mass of seats that were crushed together in the impact. Two boys, Rafael Echaverran and Moncho Sabella, took turns holding her hand throughout the night in an attempt to comfort her. She passed away from her injuries early the following morning.

Colonel Dante Lagurara, age 41. Lagurara was a lieutenant colonel in the Uruguayan Air Force, and the co-pilot of the Fairchild. According to Alive by Piers Paul Read, one of his last acts before the crash was to tell Ramirez to, “make sure that the unruly passengers did as they were told” and took their seats. He survived the initial crash, but was pinned to his seat by the instrument panel. The boys tried in vain to free him, but were only able to feed him some snow and remove the cushion from his seat before returning to the fuselage. He passed away from his injuries during the first night.

Esther Horta Pérez de Nicola, age 40. Esther was the wife of Francisco Nicola, the Old Christians’ team doctor, and the mother of four young sons. Both were avid supporters of the team, and were excited to see them play in Chile. Esther died on impact when she and her husband were thrown forward into the wall separating the luggage compartment from the main cabin.

Dr. Francisco “Pancho”  Nicola, age 40. Dr. Nicola was the Old Christians’ team doctor, and an avid supporter of both the team and the Stella Maris College. While onboard the plane, he joined in the playful energy of the boys, catching a rugby ball thrown across the cabin by Roberto Canessa. He left behind four young sons. He and his wife both died immediately on impact.

Colonel Julio César Ferradás, age 39. Ferradás was an experienced pilot, having served in the Uruguayan Air Force for nearly 20 years, and completed 29 flights over the Andes. Ferradás died on impact.

Lieutenant Ramón Martínez, age 30. Martínez was serving as the steward aboard Flight 571. He spent his last moments playing cards with several of the boys in the back of the plane. He was one of the passengers sucked out of the back of the aircraft when the tail was cut off. 

Sergeant Ovidio Joaquín Ramírez, age 26. Ramírez was an Air Force sergeant who served as purser and navigator aboard Flight 571. Ramírez was sucked from the back of the aircraft and died upon impact with the mountain.

Julio Martinez Lamas, age 24. Julio was an avid supporter of the Old Christians’ team, and a friend and soccer teammate of Numa Turcatti and Coche Inciarte. Julio survived the initial crash, but passed away during the first night from his injuries.

Daniel Shaw Urioste, age 24. Daniel was an alum of the Stella Maris College, a substitute player for the Old Christians, and a cousin of Fito and Eduardo Strauch. He was also a close friend of Marcelo Pérez and a former full time player on the team. Moments before the crash, he begged his cousin Fito to switch seats with him, but Fito refused, inadvertently saving the latter’s life. Daniel was sucked from the back of the plane when the tail was cut off by impact with the mountain.

Gastón Costemalle, age 24. Gastón was a former player and captain of the Old Christians team, a law student, and a close friend of Numa Turcatti, Pancho Delgado, Coche Inciarte, Marcelo Pérez and Eduardo Strauch. Gastón was instrumental in convincing many non-players to join the trip, including Coche, Pancho and Numa. He perished along with several others when he was sucked from the rear of the plane.

Guido Jose Magri, age 23. Guido was an agronomy student, an active Old Christian’s player, and a longtime friend of Nando Parrado. He was engaged to be married at the time of the crash, and was very excited to spend his time in Chile planning the wedding with his fiancee, who was the daughter of a Chilean diplomat. Guido perished with several others after being sucked from the rear of the plane.

Felipe Maquirriain, age 22. Felipe was an economics student, a Stella Maris alum, and a friend of Arturo Nogueira, Pedro Algorta and Enrique Platero. Felipe suffered blunt force trauma during the crash, and passed away during the first night due to his injuries.

Francisco “Panchito” Abal, age 21. Panchito was a Stella Maris alum and a talented rugby player who held the winger position for the Old Christian's First 15. Panchito was also Nando Parrado's closest friend, and was considered to be a second son by Nando's parents, Seler and Eugenia, as well as a surrogate brother by his sister, Susy. Moments before the crash, Panchito convinced Nando to switch seats so that he could have a better view of the mountains, a split-second decision that would save Nando's life but cost Panchito his own. Panchito suffered severe head trauma during the crash, and passed away during the first night on the mountain from his injuries.

Jorge Alexis Hounie, age 20. Alexis, known as “Alejo” by his friends, was a Stella Maris alum, a scrum-half on the Old Christian’s First 15, and a veterinary student. Alexis was sucked from the back of the plane along with several of his friends and teammates, and perished upon impact with the mountain.

Fernando “Flaco” Vasquez, age 20. Flaco was a friend and classmate of Roberto Canessa, and a medical student. Roberto and Flaco were seatmates on the plane. Flaco suffered an amputation of his lower leg during the crash, and passed away before Canessa or Zerbino could attend to his wounds.

Carlos Valeta, age 18. Carlos was a Stella Maris alum, a medical student, and a friend of Gustavo Zerbino and Carlitos Paez. He was not a player on the Old Christian’s team, but he was an avid team supporter. Carlos was sucked from the rear of the plane, miraculously surviving the impact, but falling down the mountain to his death as he tried in his shock to reach the other survivors.

Woah. I always wondered why they didn't add a mustache for Enzo, and now I know why. 😮

This would definitely have been 'more Numa'. But if it kept falling off.....

Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $60,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future.

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤️‍🩹

"The ground was covered in green and yellow wildflowers. I could see them with new eyes, and they looked marvellous to me. I picked one of the flowers and held it out to Carlitos so he could smell its fragrance, and he ate it"

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 Pérez, 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 💛💛💛

Hoy hubiera sido el cumpleaños número 72 de Susana Parrado.

Susana tenía 20 años cuando abordó el vuelo 571 de la Fuerza Aérea Uruguaya junto a su hermano mayor, Nando, y su madre, Eugenia. Eugenia murió en el accidente inicial, pero Susana sobrevivió a pesar de las graves lesiones internas. A pesar de su devastador pronóstico y la falta de atención médica real, vivió durante 8 días después del accidente.

El capitán del equipo, Marcelo Pérez, le reservó raciones de chocolate y crema de menta

para ella de las tiendas de alimentos extremadamente limitadas del grupo. Tan pronto como su hermano, Nando, despertó de su coma de 3 días, se dedicó al cuidado de Susy, sosteniéndola para mantenerla caliente, alimentándola, frotándole los pies para mantener su circulación y hablándole.

Susana vivió 8 días después del accidente, muriendo el 21 de octubre en brazos de su hermano.

El más feliz de los cumpleaños celestiales, Susana 💛💛💛

A letter from Gustavo "Coco" Nicolich, a 21-year-old veterinary student and player on the Old Christian's First 15. This letter was written on the 22nd of October, shortly after the survivors made the devastating decision to begin consuming the dead bodies of their friends and teammates in order to survive.

Coco, a devout Catholic, wrote that "For my part, I asked God in everything possible that this day would never come, but it came, and we have to face it with courage and faith. Faith because I have arrived at the conclusion that the bodies are there because God has put them there, and since the only thing that matters is the soul, I don't have to have great remorse and that if the day came and I could save somebody with my body, I would gladly do it."

His words proved to devastatingly prophetic, as he perished seven days later in the avalanche that carried away eight of the remaining survivors.

Coco's letters were carried home by his friend and teammate Gustavo Zerbino, and they brought great comfort to his family. One of his letters was displayed by his mother, Raquel Arocena de Nicolich, on her bedside table until her death.

"The ground was covered in green and yellow wildflowers. I could see them with new eyes, and they looked marvellous to me. I picked one of the flowers and held it out to Carlitos so he could smell its fragrance, and he ate it"

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.

EDIT: added one more pic i forgot to put in, nothin' too big xP

I'm not dead, just haven't been motivated to draw lately ;-;

but in the meantime, enjoy these Wakky Boi screenshots I took back in 2021. Y'all can use 'em as icons, for edits, etc. cuz, well, I don't obviously own these images. So use 'em to yer heart's content 👍🏾

So yesterday I discovered through TikTok (and then some very confused quick googling) that Chucky, the evil murder doll, was actually not always a doll that just came to life and decided to commit acts of incredible violence, but instead was a human man (serial killer) who died in a toy store and is now possessing a doll and trying DESPERATELY to find a human vessel so that he doesn’t have to be a fucking doll anymore.

That’s not why I’m making this post though.

I am making this post because why is Charles Lee Ray (Chucky in his life as a human) kinda…….why’s he kinda……why’d they make him kinda……..

RIP Shelley Duvall
