Two fishermen drifted in a huge cooler box and drifted for 25 days in the sea area where sharks will appear and survive

Two fishermen of Myanmar (Burma) people were found drifting in a cooler box in the waters between Papua New Guinea and Australia. It seems that the fishermen were drifting for 25 days and it seems that they were blessed with considerable luck considering that this area was a sea area where many sharks would appear and sink.

Eleven Myanmar people and seven Thai people seemed to board the same ship with them, but no other crew have been found so far.

Details are as below.

Two fishermen from Myanmar were rescued. They were boarding a fishing boat with other 11 Myanmar people and 7 Thai people, but the ship had fallen apart 200 nautical miles (370.4 km) north of Australia. The fishing boat emitted a distress signal before sinking, but no one responded. The fishermen had only to be caught something by themselves only after the ship sank down, but he said he had no choice but to drown if he could not. The two managed to ride a huge cooler box somehow.

Two people who were rescued. It was good not to be in such a dangerous state.



The drift distance of the two drivers reached hundreds of miles, and it seemed that they passed a few ships on the way, but he said they did not come to help. It seems that he was hiyahiya as to whether it would be shaken off from the cooler box, as the sea became rough, as it passed through many sharks. The number of days that drifted until it was saved was 25 days, it seems that she had been hungering by drinking several fish at the bottom of the cooler box and stagnant rainwater.

On the way, I saw a crew member Thai floating and passed by, but it seems I could not help him. Although the testimony of the two persons revealed other crew members, no one seems to have been found yet.
