Creative narrators have weaved the most amazing stories and even made movies on imaginary survival. But it is always easy to know whether a story of survival is genuine or not. The presence of witnesses to verify lends credibility to stories. Coverage by major media outlets and alignment to natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, etc confirms such stories. Consider these true yet unbelievable stories.
The Robertson family was lost in the sea for 38 days before Japanese fishermen came to their rescue in 1971. Their aim was to take a few days off touring different ports. Along the way, a school of whales wrecked their boat forcing them to survive 38 days on food meant for 6 days. It is Japanese fishermen who rescued them.
In 2013, Okene Harrison survived under water but in an air bubble for three days. He was on board Jackson-4 as a cook off the Nigerian coast when it capsized. Rescuers looking for its surface tapped where he was trapped prompting his rescue. It is understandable that he never wants to return to sea.
Endurance Expedition had 28 men on board. They set out to the Antarctica in 1914 but their ship, Endurance got stuck in ice. Using life boats they crossed to an island nearby, a journey that took 14 days. They then trekked to the nearest Georgian island 1000 miles away. They had to feed on their dog when supplies ran low.
Juliane Koepcke has two stories of survival to tell. First was as a lone survivor when LANSA Flight 508 was brought down by lightening on Christmas Eve in 1971. She landed on the flow of the Peruvian rain forest with a fractured collar bone over a buttered and bruised body. No one found her for nine days until maggots attacked her wounds and she had to keep them off using gasoline. She would be found by lumber workers nine days later.
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.
2003 was the year Ralston caught the eye of the world after amputating his hand in order to save his life. He was hanging off the cliff after climbing went wrong for three days. He decided to cut off his arm but all methods failed. He eventually used a pocketknife after trying other methods for two days. This led to excessive loss of blood but rescue came in the form of a European couple, six hours later. He was nearing death.
Ada Blackjack, a native Inupiat was hired in 1921 as a cook by Vilhjamur Stephenson and Crawford Allan. The two led an expedition to claim Wrangle Islands. They left five people as territory markers but their food ration was depleted. The cook and an ailing crew were left behind as three others went in search of food, never to return. Blackjack was rescued two years later after her ailing companion had long died.
