A second avalanche completely buried the plane in snow. No more lives were lost but air flow was cut off. Carbon dioxide started to build and a metal rod was used to puncture the snow outside and let in fresh air. The avalanches were followed by a blizzard that lasted two days. Parrado expressed his wish to leave as soon as the snow stopped, but Fito talked him out of it.
