Delayed by a multitude of mishaps, they spent the winter of 1846–1847 snowbound in the Sierra Nevada Mountain range. Some of the migrants resorted to cannibalism to survive, primarily eating the bodies of those who had succumbed to starvation, sickness, or extreme cold, but in one case two Native American guides were deliberately killed for this purpose. And (2) the Andes flight disaster where the Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 was a chartered flight from Montevideo, Uruguay to Santiago, Chile, that crashed in the Andes mountains on October 13, 1972. The flight was carrying 45 passengers and crew, including 19 members of the Old Christians Club rugby union team, along with their families, supporters, and friends. Three crew members and nine passengers died immediately; several more died soon afterward due to the frigid temperatures and the severity of their injuries. During the following 72 days, the survivors suffered extreme hardships, including exposure, starvation, and an avalanche, which led to the deaths of thirteen more passengers. The remaining passengers resorted to cannibalism. As the weather improved with the arrival of late spring, two survivors climbed the mountain peak without gear and hiked for 10 days into Chile to seek help, two months after the crash, the last of the 16 survivors were rescued. The news of their miraculous survival drew world-wide headlines that grew into a media circus. A number of books and films were made detailing the events of the incident titled, most notably the film Alive (1993) directed by Frank Marshall, narrated by John Malkovich, and starring Ethan Hawke, based on Read's book Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors. One of the survivors, Nando Parrado, served as a technical adviser to the film. Eleven of the other survivors visited the set during the production. The idea for the show also stemmed from Warner Bros. Pictures announcement of an all-female film adaptation of William Golding's Lord of the Flies, a novel about a young group of boys stranded on an island. Ashley Lyle read the announcement and found that a lot of people were skeptical that young girls could descend into the same barbarism as young boys. With that thought in mind, she conceived the idea for the series with her husband Bart Nickerson as a "metaphor for teenage hierarchy" and placed a large part of the series in New Jersey, the state they both grew up in. The title, Yellowjackets, came up on a Google search for sports team names; Lyle said it was a "perfect fit thematically" as yellowjackets are "very dependent on a queen and the dynamics of the hive are very specific". Lyle and Nickerson are also credited as showrunners alongside Jonathan Lisco, who was brought to the series by executive producer Karyn Kusama. Lyle added, "I just wanted to tell what felt like a very real story about teenage girls."
