    Hi,

    After seeing a few news reports in recent days of the survival or non survival of fishermen in the US following accidents there is a pretty full on one from NZ where the only survivor hung onto a Gas can he called Wilson for 16 hrs in water that should have done him in in 4 to 6 hrs.

    A true tragedy and a true miracle, hopefully the miracle will continue and more alive will be found. Condolences to the families of those lost.

    Yeah but that one was designed to do what it was doing. Of course it was never intended to do it into the 21st century.
