Amazing Survived Story

Nowadays there is a lot of advice how to survive, for example, after a crash on an island. But there are only few stories of a real survival, because it is really hard and challenging. I would like to tell you a story of an amazing survival that happened in 2005 in the island Pillopania.

Thirty-three year old Indian called Michal survived after tsunami on the island. On the 26 of December he was going to visit his bride and relatives that lived on the other island. Suddenly (during his way) a huge wave rose and Michal found himself underwater. He was thrown on the coast, and then he climbed up the hill and spent few days there. He tried to find someone but after tsunami the island became uninhabited. More than five thousand people disappeared that day. Michal spent one month alone on this island eating coconuts. In one ruined house he found a small hammer, so he obtained food with it.

He was found by a rescuer team of a marine. Michal was exhausted and badly-wounded. Most of his relatives and friends died that day. It also turned out that he was in the list of people that had disappeared.
