The 1972 Andes plane crash story has been told many times. ‘Society of the Snow’ is something new

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:34:13 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — When Gustavo Zerbino watched “La Sociedad de la Nieve,” the 1972 plane crash survivor felt as if he was being submerged “into boiling water,” reliving the roughly 70 days he and his teammates were stranded in the snow-covered Andes mountains.Zerbino praised J.A. Bayona’s raw and unfiltered film, which is being released Wednesday as “Society of the Snow” on Netflix in the U.S., but said he also felt the same anxieties and emotions he felt while stranded as a young athlete more than 50 years ago.“Fortunately, that feeling ended in 2 1/2 hours,” he told The Associated Press this past October. (All interviews for this story were conducted in Spanish.)Bayona’s movie is based on Pablo Vierci’s book of the same title, and follows the story of the Uruguayan Air Force plane disaster. The Old Christians rugby team was traveling with relatives and friends to Chile for a match when their plane crashed, stranding them in the mountains where they faced snow storms, avalan...

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The tiny Aliquippa water authority in western Pennsylvania was perhaps the least-suspecting victim of an international cyberattack.It had never had outside help in protecting its systems from a cyberattack, either at its existing plant that dates to the 1930s or the new $18.5 million one it is building.Then it — along with several other water utilities — was struck by what federal authorities say are Iranian-backed hackers targeting a piece of equipment specifically because it was Israeli-made.“If you told me to list 10 things that would go wrong with our water authority, this would not be on the list,” said Matthew Mottes, the chairman of the authority that handles water and wastewater for about 22,000 people in the woodsy exurbs around a one-time steel town outside Pittsburgh. The hacking of the Municipal Water Authority of Aliquippa is prompting new warnings from U.S. security officials at a time when states and the federal government are wrestling with how...

Patriots fall to 4-12 and clinch worst season in Belichick’s coaching career

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:34:13 GMT

The game meant nothing to the New England Patriots. And any chance they had of playing spoiler disappeared in a turnover-filled first half. Bailey Zappe threw three interceptions on two of his first three passes, added another in the second quarter and his first completion was fumbled away by receiver Pharaoh Brown in Sunday’s 27-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills. With the loss, the Patriots clinched the worst record of Bill Belichick’s coaching career.“That first half, you can’t do that. You can’t turn the ball over four times,” center David Andrews said. “The best team in the world, it’s hard to win when you turn the ball over four times.”The Patriots remained in the game thanks in part to Jalen Reagor’s touchdown on the game-opening kickoff. But, down one score, they couldn’t get a first down on their last possession and then they couldn’t stop the Bills, allowing them three first downs on a game-ending drive that ate the last 5:02 off the clock.“Obviously, a terrible first 20 m...

The three presidents had been called before the Republican-led House Committee on Education and the Workforce to answer accusations that universities were failing to protect Jewish students amid rising fears of antisemitism worldwide and fallout from Israel’s intensifying war in Gaza, which faces heightened criticis...
