Well the other day I was watching a program on tv where back in the 60's there was some kind of bad ship wreck where 5 out of 28 people survived the sinking. It was in the middle of winter and these 5 guys where stuck on a life raft in nothing but their boxers. Well one by one they died till eventually there was one left. After 38 hours being out in the freezing ocean with the bodies of his dead friends he was finally rescued. Scientist said after doing experiments that the human body can only survive 2 hours in those type of cold conditions before surcoming to hypothermea. Its amazing what the human body can do. If you have any stories Im dying to hear them, I love hearing man win over nature. Thanks!
