hows this for a good luck story.
Tsunami victim rescued after 25 days 05:54 AEDT Sun Jan 23 2005 AP - Waving a flag made of his clothes, a tsunami victim dressed only in his underwear was rescued after surviving alone for 25 days on a flattened island in India's Andaman and Nicobar archipelago, authorities have said. The tale of survival reached Port Blair, the capital and the region's only city, on Saturday as authorities slowly established normal communication links with faraway islands. A total of 1,899 people were declared dead across the Andaman and Nicobar islands following the December 26 tsunami, and at least 5,553 remain missing. Hope had run out for the untraced people. But officials on Campbell Bay island reported that a Nicobarese man named Michael Mangal had been spotted on deserted Pillow Panja island on January 19, wearing underwear and waving a cloth made from the rest of his clothes. Mangal was sucked into the sea when the first tsunami wave retreated, but an even bigger second wave dumped him back on the shore. However, he found no one else had survived from his village, a local government statement said. Injured and desperate, he survived for the next 25 days only on coconuts before being rescued, it said. The Nicobarese are the largest tribal group in the islands with about 30,000 members, accounting for about one-tenth of the archipelago's population. "Miracles do happen," said Rashid Yusuf, president of the Nicobarese Youth Association, which has helped survivors reach the safety of relief camps. He owns a GT ford and has to live to drive it another day .

normally when they find someone lost for a long time the story has they survived on a candy bar for 10 days ect, i think candy companies give them a little to say that they lasted on a patictular brand so everyone will go and buy one b4 camping or hiking.
