3 teenagers rescued after being stranded 50 days in the ocean!!!!


The three boys are from the Tokelau Islands which are administered by New Zealand were found after 50 days in their 12 foot metal boat still alive in the pacific ocean 250 miles northeast of Fiji!!!. They were already declared dead and a hundreds came out to mourn their death!!! The teenagers are Filo aged 15, Etueni Nasau aged 14, Samu Pelesa aged 15. They survived the first 2 days on coconuts which they already had, then for a while they soley depended on fresh water which the collected from a tarpaulin (AKA 6rbaal) during the night time (only a few drops of water), 2 weeks into it they were lucky enough to catch a sea bird, and 2 days before they were rescued they began drinking sea water... Sea water can actually kill u faster! il7amdlilah they were lucky!! they were found naked with sun burns and a weak and fragile state... A tuna boat spotted them and helped bring them in.... 


PS: always take a Tarpaulin (a.k.a 6orbal !)or 3ala goolat ilkuwaitiyeen 6rbaal with you to sea, its allways good to have!!! For those who dont know what it is loook below :P
