The Douglas DC-3 airliner was one of two aircraft used to transport the football team home after an away game. The tail of the aircraft and a few human remains were found on 10 April 1961. Some official accounts indicate the wreckage was located on La Gotera Hill in the Lastima-Pejerreymin Range; all on board had been assumed killed. Other contemporary accounts identify the crash site as
Cerro Lastimas. In February 2015 the aircraft's fuselage was discovered after more than 50 years in the Chilean
Andes. A member of the expedition that found the wreckage was quoted as saying "
So this story is getting a rewrite since this is not where original accounts said." While the climbers declined to provide a detailed position of their find, it is consistent with the terrain and altitude of Cerro Lastimas. ==Notable victims==
