Three Luckiest Mexican Fisherman Ever Found Alive at Sea After 11 Months!
Topic: Weird Shit

Three Mexican fisherman who were thought to be dead have been found by a Taiwanese fishing crew more than eleven months after they vanished.  They were picked up over 5,000 miles away from their home city of San Blas.

The story of their ordeal begins two days after they left San Blas out into the Pacific Ocean on their twin-engine trawler.  According to the survivors, both engines broke down and they spent the next few weeks attempting to rebuild one engine with parts from the other as they floated further and further out into sea.

Two of the five man crew jumped overboard early into the trip and are thought to be dead.  At least they didn't have to bear with eleven months of barely any food and water, because we'd gnaw our mother's leg if we were hungry enough.  Reports that this was caused by angered otters or fish with human teeth have not been confirmed.
