Some people have mastered the art of creating and telling fictional stories to the point of making them to appear real. A true story of survival can be identified by a few qualities. It is verifiable through witness accounts especially the point of re-entry into normalcy like returning from the jungle, being rescued from a building rumble, etc. Such stories are also covered by reputable media outlets. Their occurrence also coincides with natural phenomena like earthquake, flood, terror attack, etc. Here are the most amazing stories in history.
In 1971, Robertson wanted to treat his family by taking them on a tour to several ports. Along the way, a school of whales messed their boat, leaving them to drift to sea for days before abandoning it. In total, they remained lost for 38 days living on food that was only meant for six days. Their rescuers were Japanese fishermen who brought them to shore.
Jackson-4 was a boat that capsized off the coast of Nigeria in 2013. At the time of the incident, the cook, Harrison Okene was in the toilet. He was trapped in a four squire feet air bubble. He was rescued three days later by divers when he heard their knock on the surface. He understandably vowed never to return to the sea.
The Endurance Expedition gathered 28 men headed to the Antarctica in 1914. They got stuck in ice with their ship, christened Endurance. It took them 14 days to find the next island on life boats after which they trekked 1000 miles to the nearest inhabited village in Georgia. They had to turn to their dogs for food when their rations were depleted. All the 28 men survived.
On Christmas Eve of 1971, Koepcke Juliane was on LANSA flight 508 when it was struck by lightening and disintegrated mid air. She landed in a jungle in the Peruvian rain forest battered, bruised and with a broken collar bone. She was found nine days later by lumber workers. By then her first aid was only gasoline which she poured on her maggot infested wounds.
The Apollo 13 mission survived a re-entry into earth after the craft was damaged at the launching pad. They were destined to land at the moon but they circled it for three days pondering the next move. Their ration could only last two men for one and a half days. It enabled the three to live three days on modified diet. A lunar life boat saved their lives as they landed safely, but for Hayse who was severely dehydrated.
Ralston is known for amputating his own hand in order to survive in 2003. He got trapped when climbing the Blue John Canyon alone. Since no one knew where he was, there was no rescue three days on. He decided to amputate his hand. Two days later, none of the methods he thought had work. He went for part of his hand and descended on one arm. Six hours later, a European couple rescued him at the blink of death from blood loss.
Crawford Allan and Stephenson Vilhjamur had hired a native Inupiat called Ada Blackjack as their cook in an expedition to claim Wrangle Islands. Three of the five crew members left as claim for the new territory went in search of food to replenish their ration. Ada was left with an ailing crew member who later passed on. Since the others never returned, she was rescued alone two years later in 1923.
