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.
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.
Harrison Okene was hired to cook for people on board Jackson-4 when it capsized. He had gone to the toilet when the tragedy occurred off the Nigerian coast. Luckily for him, he survived in an air bubble for three days before rescuers looking for the surface of the boat discovered him. Since the incidence in 2013, he vowed never to be on board a boat again.
28 men set out on an Endurance expedition in 1914. Their ship got stuck in ice in the Antarctica. The ice was too much and their ship named Endurance got stuck. They used life boats to access the nearest island over 14 days. From there, the nearest inhabited island was in Georgian territory and 1000 miles away. Though all crew members survived, their dogs were not lucky after their rations run low.
Koepcke Juliane found herself traveling on LANSA flight 508 on the Christmas Eve of 1971. Their plane encountered lightening and came down the jungle of Peruvian rain forest. She was the lone survivor, bruised, buttered and with a broken collar bone. Lumber workers bumped on her nine days later, a time when desperation had forced her to use gasoline to clear maggot off her 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.
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.
