Boys found alive after 50 days at sea


Samuel Perez and Filo Filo, both 15, and Edward Nasau, 14 went missing when they participated for a sport event in October. After several unsuccessful searches by New Zealand's air force, they were presumed dead. Thus, about 500 people on the island held a memorial service for them. After 50 days at sea, they were being rescued by a tuna ship, who saw their small aluminum boat floating in the middle of open waters. Which were 1,300 km away from where they went missing and were badly sunburnt. However, they just need a basic aid. They were survived with limited supply. They share a single raw seagull and drank a tiny bit of rain water. 
It was told that the tuna boat was fishing far from where it usually does.The boys were being checked at a hospital but were ecstatic to finally be able to speak by phone to their families.
In my opinion, I think the three guys are really lucky as they were rescued by the tuna boat who was fishing far from where it usually does. What if the tuna boat did not fish until their place? What if the tuna boat just fish from where it usually does? Call it a miracle, it was a rescue that might not have happened if not for chance. All of this happens because they are lucky enough. However, personally I think they are very strong as they can survive for 50 days in an open sea. Have you ever wondered, what if one day you're lost like what had happened to the three guys? In this case, I do not think I can survive for 50 days. Maybe with the ac companion of friends, they can actually support one another. No matter what, the best thing we can do is to take care of ourself.
