Hey everyone welcome back to most amazing top 10 Im your host Che Durena.
There isnt a much worse fate then getting stuck out in the middle of the ocean with
no food or water.
Unless your bare grillz and you do it every weekend so people like me at home get the
impression that we could really do something like that out in the wild.
When realistically I would be dead in 15 minutes right after I lost reception on my phone.
But it doesnt really matter if your a survivalist or not, if you disappear out in the big ocean
blue, people will have a load of questions.
The whole world will be wondering what happened to you after you vanished.
And there has been a lot of these people throughout time.
Thats why Im brining you todays list of top 10 Mysterious people lost at sea.
I want you guys to stick around for the whole video and then hit up the comment to tell
me how you would have rearranged the list.
Also I would love it if all of you out there would like comment subscribe and hit the little
notification bell.
And you know that if you want more most amazing top 10 content it would be great if you could
check us out on facebook and instagram, its a great way to get to know all the host a
little bit better.
And without taking any longer lets get into this list
10 Rex Willamon
This is a story of just a bunch of boys going out for a nice fishing trip, Rex was taking
some family and friends out to catch some fish and crush some beers when their boat
started to flood and the engine crapped out.
This left them stuck on a boat that was sinking fast, lucky Rex sent out a mayday distress
call so the coast guard would come pick them up.
Slick move by Rex to save everyone, unlucky for him the coast guard stopped checking to
see where they were after about 2 hours because the mayday single didnt get completed.
This was a huge bummer for the whole crew as they were all now holding on the bow of
the boat which was the only thing that managed to stay out of the water, everything else
sunk like a solid turd hitting the toilet bowl.
The whole gang was struck out there for 20 hours and it was Rex’s wife who pushed to
coast guard to go out again and try and find them.
Rex probably got her a dope anniversary present that year.
9 Josh Long and Tory Driscoll
Again, just a couple of good old boys going out to do some shark fishing.
Unfortunately for them they probably spent too much time thinking about how much beer
to bring and not enough time and checking whether or not their boat would breakdown.
Because it did, and then the two of them were stuck out in the sea for 6 days.
When they were found they both had serious burns all over their bodies from exposure
to the sun and the younger of the two, Tory, said they were able to stay alive by eating
jellyfish.
8 Alan Griffiths
So heres a hot tip when it comes to scuba diving.
Bring a friend, when you go solo diving you might end up like this dude did.
Alan Griffiths was 68 at the time and decided to go for a nice little dive on a sunken ship
all by himself.
When he came to the surface he was a bit disoriented and couldnt find his way back to the shore
and then ended up floating around the ocean for a round 17 hours.
Lucky people knew he was out there so when he never came one a search party was sent
out.
And he didnt get eaten by sharks in the process.
It was just off the coast of Northern Queensland, australia and Alan said when the rescue worker
came in the water to save him the first thing the guy said was, G’day mate, you want a
lift?
7 Louis Jordan
Part of me wants to know what it feels like to be stuck out at sea, fighting for your
life, thinking that any day, any moment could be your last.
And then when you think all is lost, you make it home or get rescued.
I mean I want to know what it feels like but I dont actually want to do it.
Like I would love if someone out there could make a castaway VR experience so I could do
all that but still be at home with my pop tarts.
Im sure itll will feel like the same thing.
Well Louis Jordan did it for real!
He was on his sailboat went it capsized breaking the mast and his collarbone.
The ship eventually corrected itself but there was no way for him to sail anywhere.
He was stuck out in the ocean for 66 days and he managed to survive by eating crabs
and fish that were attracted to the seaweed coming off of his boat.
Eventually the coast guard found him and brought him home.
And when you listen to the phone call between him and his dad he apologizes for breaking
the boat.
Dude your dad is just happy your alive, if he had to choose between getting his son back
or the boat Im sure he would choose his son.
Well Depending on how expensive the boat was.
6 Steve Callihan
Steve Callihan wanted to do what a lot of other sailors had done before, he wanted to
cross the atlantic ocean, but along the way he was hit by a storm that broke his boat
in half.
This forced him onto a little floating dinghy where he would spend the next 76 days.
He was able to survive by catching rainwater, fighting off a shark and doing some small
workouts to stop muscle atrophy.
When he was finally found he only weighed 94 pounds.
And I think he took a break from sailing after that.
5 Tom and Eline lonergan
Heres another reason to avoid going out to open water with people you dont know.
They might just leave you out there because youre so easy to forget.
If your go out on a boat with people you just met, make sure you be very loud and extraviant,
maybe even a little obnoxious that way you dont get left behind.
Or if you do get left behind they actually remember to come back for you unlike Tom and
Eline.
I dont know if youve ever seen the movie open water but its about a couple that goes on
a diving trip, gets forgotten, and then I think they both get eaten by sharks or one
of them freezes to death.
Im not sure I just no that it seems like it was a really bad way to spend your vacation
and it did really happen to this couple.
Unfortunately, unlike the other people on this list they were never found.
They just ended up missing and probably fish food.
4 Debrah Kylie, Brad Kavenoff
This one is a punch in the face from reality.
It was five people taking a Yacht down from Main to Florida.
Not that far into the trip their Yacht capsized and the 5 of them had to get on to an inflatable
zodiac to survive.
Could you imagine balling out on a yacht, drinking champagne and partying like a champ
and then the next thing you know your fighting for your life on a blow up boat.
Well I gotta say it wasnt all five of them that were able to make it back in one piece.
One person died from blood poisoning, two others were eaten by sharks when they tried
to escape the boat and swim for help and then the last two, Debrah and Brad were rescued
by a russain freighter.
I think if I ever get invited to a yacht party, Im 100 percent going to go, are you kidding
me, I dont care if I die in the middle of the ocean, I got to go to a Yacht party, I
can die knowing Im cool.
3 Aldi Long
I mean this story starts off rough and then just gets worse.
This dude was a Indonisean Fisherman, struggling to make ends meet.
So before we even get to the castaway story, this guy has a blue collar job in a third
world country.
He would sail out on his rompom to catch fish, a rompom is basically a hut with a sail.
One day a storm kicked up and broke the sail on his rompom and he was sent a drift.
He was able to survive by drinking 3 sips of water a day from this supplies and cooking
fish that he caught.
He was found near the island of guam which is 1300 miles away from indonesia.
2 The Robertsons
This is one of the craziest stories wer have on this list, not because its a whole family
that ended stuck on a little digging with very few supplies and everyone lived, but
that no one in the family tried killing each other.
If you had me and my whole family suck on a little boat for a little over a month, someones
getting thrown overboard.
This family was trying to sail around the world and then their boat got smashed up by
some killer whales, this forced the whole family to jump onto a little dingy and thats
where they would stay for the next 38 days.
Surviving on rain water and sea life.
A japanese fishing trawler eventually found them and they were saved.
1 Jose Salvador
This guy is the king of surviving on a floating raft, he makes Tom Hanks and Wilson look like
a couple chumps.
If they ever try and do a castaway style movie again they should cast Jose because hes basically
done the most method acting for the role.
Jose Salvador was stuck on a broken down boat in the middle of the ocean for 13 months,
He drifted from the coast of mexico to the marshall islands.
Thats a 6600 mile journey.
He managed to make it all the way without dying by eating fish, turtles and birds that
would land on his boat.
And all he had to drink was rain, his own pee and turtle blood.
And you guys thought the straws were taking out the turtles, my god, we got a turtle vampire
over here.
After he was rescued he talked a lot about how he would think about killing himself,
and I cant blame him, not only would out be hungry every day but you would be right on
the edge of being bored to death.
But in the end this guy was a champ and beat out mother nature
