I had this book threw it away cause it gave me nightmares. And the irony of it all was that not very far away from their crash site was a store house filled with food and communication gears that can take them out of the situation but they never saw it. The gods must be having fun watching them to see how they will survive.

Explorers:
On May 28, 2013, divers in the wreckage of theJacson-4 were attempting a triage of the vessel, which 100 feet down off the coast of Nigeria after capsizing. What they didn't expect to find was a survivor.

Harrison Okene was the ship's cook. He was in the bathroom around 4am when the boat capsized upside down, and tried to reach an emergency exit hatch but failed. The boat began to fill with water with Okene trapped inside about 100ft below the ocean surface in complete darkness wearing only boxers. Eventually, he found himself trapped with a four square foot bubble of air with a cocacola. He knew he was running out of oxygen so he found a safe corner of the ship and used mattresses to block out water and created air pocket. After three days, he had given up hope. All the while, Okene heard sharks and barracudas fighting over the remains of his shipmates.
Then he heard a knock, it was the hammer of the divers working on the surface of the ship. Okene surviving for 62 hour to the shock of the rescue divers, Okene was given diving gear and he was brought to a decompression chamber, where he had to spend two days. He had been at depths that should have killed him in a situation that took the lives of everyone else on board.

Unsurprisingly, he vowed never to go out to sea again.

They acted a movie about ut even. 'Alive'

musicwriter:
I used to follow a programme called ''I shouldn't be alive'' on national geographic channel. Anybody that really want to see jaw dropping survival experiences should go to youtube and check it out.

In one episode, a helicopter flying over an active volcano developed fault just on top of the volcano and fell inside the larva. It was like falling inside hell. How they survived is astonishing.

In another episode, an airplane with over 200 passengers crashed in a desne forest and many died instantly, but not all. After one month of looking for them by their government, the search and rescue operation was suspended, not knowing some of the passengers survived. They were declared dead and forgotten.

I think they lived in the forest for about 3 months, lost in the middle of nowhere searching for a way out. Things got so bad for them they had to resort to eating the flesh of fellow dead passengers on the way just to survive. Many died on the way, just about 7 or so of them made it out of the forest alive. One survivor already had his wife married to another man by the time he got home.

Yet, the U.S. does not want Iran, North Korea and other aspiring nations to own atomic bomb. U.S. wants to be the only country together with Israel to be able to bomb and unbomb.

Explorers:
In October 1972, a Uruguayan plane carrying 45 people including rugby players and students crashed in the Andes Mountains. The temperature was 30 degrees below zero at night time and 12 people had died in the initial crash. The survivors had very little in terms of food and water and eventually had to turn to cannibalism(Dead bodies) in order to stay alive. The survivors lost almost all hope when they heard on the plane’s radio that the search for their plane had ended. A number of survivors, however, banded together to form an expedition party which would search for help. After a number of failed attempts to cross the treacherous terrain and 72 days of being stranded, the group who had left the crash site had managed to make themselves known to civilians and the 16 survivors were eventually found. The ordeal still haunts the remaining survivors over 40 years later.

Thanks mam, that baby(dp) is muahnnnn.....

I love this. Anjelina Jolie produced a movie based on this story titled UNBROKEN. The movie was based on the 2010 non-fiction book by Laura Hillenbrand, Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption.
The movie had its world premiere in Sydney in November 17, 2014 with Jack O' Connell portrayed as Zamperini. The movie grossed over $163 million worldwide.
The story was so touching.
Thumb up to you Explorer.
