That afternoon, amid strong winds, the helicopters arrived. They did not evacuate the survivors immediately. Instead they dropped off packages and additional men to help the survivors. The first man who arrived was an Andinist, Sergio Diaz, accompanied by a medical orderly. Fernandez and Mangino were the first of the survivors to be evacuated.
