icipated in the brutal Saber Marathon, which is a six-day endurance race covering 155 miles. In the Sahara Desert, the competition was known as one of the toughest in the world, but Prosperi was a former Olympian and remained in incredible physical shape. He was also a police officer in Italy, which kept him even more active, so he felt ready for the competition. The desert terrain of the competition was so dangerous that

icipants had to indicate where they wanted their bodies sent if they did not survive the race in preparation for the race.

Prosperi ran 40 kilometers a day during the previous weeks and gave himself less and less. water while running to get used to dehydration, but despite how hard he trained and his incredible athletic resume that showed that he is someone who can probably do this, his wife was very worried, but he told her: you know how much worse he does to pass. For me it's that I'll get a little sunburned. The race began at its starting point in Morocco on April 10 and initially went very well. Prospero was al

the first Italian to finish that day. stage and when he finished he would go to his tent and put an Italian flag outside to show the other Italians who were doing the race where they could find him to come in and chat and he would say that part of the race was a lot of fun, but things went wrong bad on the fourth day, during the longest and most difficult phase of the race, when he left that morning, it was already very windy and he found himself in the section between these two large sand dunes and the leaders had already gone far ahead, so that he is totally alone and then, out of nowhere, a huge sandstorm comes up and completely blinds him.

He can't go anywhere because he can't see where he's going, so he manages to feel his way to this rock. where he hides behind this rock and thinks, I'll wait and then continue, but the sandstorm lasted eight hours and when it finally ended, it was pitch black outside, so Prosperity couldn't see anything, so he decides: you know what I'm going to have to sleep in the dunes and tomorrow morning I'm going to have to get up and keep going and his biggest concern right now wasn't that he was in a survival situation, he was man, he was in fourth place in this race and now with this one. big setback I'll probably finish last, so when he went to sleep that night all I was thinking about was man I have to get up and go as fast as I can so I don't finish it was tomorrow, but when the sun came up the next morning, prosperi looked around and realized that he had a much bigger problem, the sandstorm had been so strong that it had completely altered the landscape, the dunes had moved, he had no reference points and so on.

Although he had a map and a compass, he had no way of orienting himself, so he had no idea which direction to go. Anyone competing in this race really needed to be self-sufficient and therefore prosperi had a knife and had many dehydrated. food I had a sleeping bag but I had very little water I had about half a bottle of water because at each of the checkpoints during the day the race officials gave you all this water and the idea was that you drank it all at once that you made it to the next checkpoint and he hadn't made it to the next checkpoint so he had very little water as he looked around and realized this is a really bad situation he thinks to himself you know what?

The same thing must have happened to other runners. For them, they probably had to hide during the sandstorm yesterday and now they are waking up. They are looking around. I am bound to find someone with whom we will unite and reach the end of this race. and we'll be fine, so you run to the top of a sand dune and look around expecting to see someone and you don't, there's no one in every direction, it's just a completely barren desert, so leave that sand dune . another and he does the same thing, he's looking around and there's no one there and over the course of several hours he was just running towards the peaks of these different sand dunes hoping to see someone, seeing no one, panicking and spending more energy and finally by At the end of the afternoon, when you are sweating profusely and the sun is beating down on you and you still haven't seen anyone, you realize that you are going to die if you keep doing this and you need to be smart about it, so at this point it went into survival. mode and decided that the only times he would move would be at night and in the early hours of the morning because those are the times when the sun is not out and it is still quite cold and he can conserve energy that way.

He started too. He peed in bottles and started saving his urine to drink later when he ran out of water, so for the next two days he kept his energy, but he was kind of drifting through the desert and wasn't really getting anywhere. side. He didn't know if he was making progress because he had nowhere to go, he didn't see anyone and he was starting to realize that his situation was getting worse by the minute and then, with an incredible stroke of luck, he stumbled upon this Muslim sanctuary. in the middle of nowhere that the Bedouins would use while traveling through the desert and he ran inside hoping there would be a person there and there was a person there but they were dead inside a coffin but he was happy he could Now he had a shelter over his head and this He felt it as progress, he began to take stock of his new surroundings and when he was inside the sanctuary, looking up at the ceiling, he saw that it was full of hundreds of bats and at this point he is very hungry, he is very thirsty.

Then he climbed up into the rafters and began grabbing handfuls of bats and drinking their blood. After drinking the blood of 20 bats, he used some of the wood that was inside the sanctuary and lit a fire outside and that would be his way of sending a signal to the planes and helicopters passing overhead that he assumed would be looking for him. then he lights the fire and goes back inside hoping that you know that in the next few days someone will surely find him, but no one does and four days pass and three On different occasions a plane or a helicopter flew directly over him, he has the fire lit, he is there outside pointing at him but no one saw him, so at the end of those four days he's been in the desert wandering for almost a week and he's just getting started. to realize that this is the end, he is not going to survive, no one knows where he is, no one has seen him so far, he is running out of supplies, this is it and, knowing that he was facing a long and painful

death

, whether from dehydration or starvation, He decided he was going to speed it up and would say later that he didn't feel sad about this, it was just a logical choice he was making.

He thought that if he died inside the sanctuary, he was more likely to be found than if he died inside the sanctuary. He had died somewhere in the desert where the sand would cover him and so he said that

people

were more likely to find the shrine and therefore find him and thus there would be closure for his family and thus prosperity took a piece of carbon de el fuego wrote a message to his wife and then cut her wrists and went to bed hoping not to wake up again, but the next morning he woke up and had barely bled because his blood was too thick, he literally couldn't bleed to

death

, took this. as a sign that he was supposed to live and suddenly felt motivated to survive he decided to leave the sanctuary and follow the advice that one of the race organizers had given everyone at the beginning, which was that if you get lost, follow the instructions. clouds.

You can see beyond the horizon at dawn. There you will find a civilization so prosperous that he jumped out and he began heading towards what he believed were those clouds. He walked for days in the desert, grabbing snakes and lizards from the ground and eating them raw, he said, his inner caveman. It came out as his primary desire to live and he had no problem eating the things he ate. He became so dehydrated that he couldn't even urinate anymore, so he started drinking the liquid inside the succulents that grew inside the dry river beds and He also started sucking the moisture out of his wet wipes that were in his backpack on the ninth day Prosperi saw a little shepherdess in the distance and she saw him and was afraid of him and turned around and ran away and at first Prosperi is devastated because He doesn't have the strength to chase her, but she had actually gone down to her tribe and told them about this strange man who was wandering in the desert and they came running over the dunes and brought him and gave him food and drink and sent someone to search for the police after the police picked him up and brought him back to their headquarters.

He discovered that he had walked more than 181 miles from where he had gotten lost en route to Algeria. His family and the race organizers had gone out to look for him. After he disappeared, but the only thing they found was his shoelace, so they assumed he was dead, it would take him two years to fully recover from this ordeal, but after doing so, he ran eight more races in the desert in 2012. José, 35 years old Alvarenga was an extremely experienced fisherman who had spent years and years fishing commercially in November of that year. José volunteered to do a 30-hour deep-sea fishing shift for his company off the coast of his hometown in Mexico.

He hoped he could catch something. sharks, billfish and sailfish, three of the most lucrative fish you can catch, unfortunately the guy José used to go deep sea fishing with couldn't go at the last minute, but José still really wanted to go out and do the turn, so he took the only one. Another fisherman in his company who was willing or able to go was an extremely inexperienced 23-year-old new fisherman named Ezequiel Córdoba and although José knew that he was not going to be a great asset on the seas, he thought, now You know. It's a short trip and we're not that far from the coast so you know it's okay.

I will take it on November 17th. The couple set out in their 24-foot fiberglass skiff with a small motor on board, several fishing tools and a radio. and a large ice box to hold all the fish they were going to catch. Once they arrived at the area where they were going to fish, their trip immediately began to pay off and in just a couple of hours they had almost completely overloaded the ice box. ice, their luck was so good that when they saw a storm approaching they decided to wait and continue catching as many fish as they could before jumping in at the last minute, but the approaching storm was like the storm of the century and for the moment The time They turned around to head to the shore, it was too late.

They got caught in this wicked storm where the rain was so intense that they literally couldn't see too short. They tried to use their compass and other instruments to navigate to shore, but between the winds and waves and the fact that their boat was so heavy from the nearly a thousand pounds of fish they had caught that they couldn't really get close to shore when The storm continued to rage and they were like reeling in the water. They decided they needed to get rid of their catch, so they tossed the thousand-plus pounds of fish back into the water, but even so, with a more nimble boat, the storm was so severe that they simply couldn't navigate it effectively, so Joseph put out the engine and told him.

Ezekiel that their best chance here was to simply wait and once done, they would return to shore, but that storm continued for five days, the torrential rain never stopped, the waves were huge, the winds were terrible and before long they were being swept away. out to sea and had no idea where they were now, they had only planned to be out for 30 hours so they didn't have many supplies and after a few days they had run out of food and ran. They ran out of water, but fortunately since it was raining so much, they were able to drink the rainwater, but the real immediate problem they faced was that over the course of those five days the storm was just hitting their boat and when the storm cleared their the boat was ruined its engine had been ripped out and was simply gone its electronics were broken and all of its fishing equipment was damaged or missing there was enough charge on the radio for José to call his boss on the mainland and send for help but the radio went off before they received a response message, so they couldn't confirm if anyone inEarth was going to come looking for them.

They were left with minimal supplies, no radio or engine. José and Ezequiel just had to hope that someone on the continent would listen to them. his message and little by little they began to adapt to life at sea. José was able to jump into the water and catch turtles, fish, sea birds and jellyfish with his bare hands and that was what they ate and then the two of them tried to catch rainwater whenever they could, but most of the time they had to drink their own. urine and turtle blood despite their initial optimism that their boss had probably heard their distress message and would send

people

to look for them as the days turned into weeks and the weeks turned into months.

They realized that probably no one would come looking for them, now their only hope was that a plane would see them flying overhead or maybe they could divert onto a shipping lane and a boat could detect them, but with no way to navigate their boat, They were really leaving him to his fate despite his terrible situation. José stayed very positive and focused on catching food and water and kept track of the weather very diligently by following the phases of the moon, Ezekiel, however, simply did not have a major role on the ship because he simply was not skilled enough and so He was sitting on the boat most of the time doing a lot of nothing and fell into a deep depression.

He wasn't used to being in the water like José José was. José had grown up in the water. He pretty much only ate seafood and a lot of it. ate raw so in a way José was kind of at home, Ezequiel wasn't around and then in the fourth month, Ezequiel couldn't stand the food they were eating anymore, he just got sick every time, so he just gave up and He stopped eating, and even though Joseph urged him to eat. I got him food, he didn't eat it and eventually starved to death, although Ezequiel wasn't much of an asset in terms of helping them survive, he did provide José with an enormous amount of comfort, it was like you had your accomplice here and then, a After he died, Joseph was alone for the first time in almost half a year and fell into a very dark depression and for six days he did not touch Ezekiel's body, he just sat there and stared at him and even contemplated taking his own life, but on the seventh day he doesn't know what it was but he had the sudden impulse of wanting to survive and that's why he gave Ezequiel a kind of improvised funeral, he said a few words and then he disposed of his body in the ocean and after that.

José concentrated on surviving and surviving, he would spend another nine months alone in the middle of the ocean, floating, drinking turtle blood and drinking his own urine, but after those nine months he would finally see what he had been dreaming of. On land, he had managed to drift to the Marshall Islands, so he jumped out of his boat, swam to shore and there was a cabin right on the beach, he knocked on the cabin and a couple came to the door and they were totally surprised to see Seeing this guy, I mean, he didn't look very good and they couldn't believe his story.

They couldn't believe he had survived so long in the water, but they quickly took him inside and gave him some food and drink. and they contacted the authorities and he was saved. When his parents and his little daughter discovered that he was alive, they were filled with joy. They, along with everyone else, believed he had passed away. They had sent a search party for them and found pieces of their boat that had broken in the storm and so they assumed they must have sunk and then, in a strange turn of events, shortly after they got home, people started To accuse him of lying about what happened, people said he looked too good to have been in the open sea.

For 14 months he should have been emaciated and at the very least had scurvy, but doctors would say that he ate so many turtles and seabirds that he was quite well fed and turtles and seabirds contain a high level of vitamin C which would have protected him from the scurvy Other skeptics said it would have been impossible for his skiff to float these 6,000 miles to the Marshall Islands where he finally found land, but then a study conducted at the University of Hawaii confirmed that there was a current that would have carried him from the coast of Mexico directly to the marshall islands and finally ezequiel córdoba's family accused josé of killing ezequiel and eating his body to sustain himself, that is the only way he could survive, but ezequiel flatly rejected it and underwent multiple lie detector tests that They showed that he didn't do that today José lives in a small town in El Salvador completely surrounded by land and says he doesn't go near water in 1971 Julianne Kepka was a bright-eyed German teenager who had just graduated from high school on Christmas Eve of the year. 1971 she and her mother were at the Lima Peru airport waiting for a flight to Pacopa to visit her father who was a zoologist working in the Amazon, she and her mother and everyone who was waiting for this flight were very upset because the flight was seven o'clock. late due to bad weather it finally arrived and julianne her mother and everyone else who had been waiting boarded lance flight 508 and immediately after takeoff they started experiencing some pretty bad turbulence due to bad weather but julianne really liked flying like that that he didn't do it.

Note that his mother, on the other hand, was white-knuckling the armrests, but after about 10 minutes, as they approached cruising altitude, the turbulence was not getting any better, in fact it was getting much worse and Julianne was starting to worry herself. Then, when the plane started shaking so violently that all the overhead bins opened and luggage, wrapped presents, and Christmas cakes started spilling out, Julianne started white-knuckling the armrest. While she was sitting there, she looked out the window and saw all this lightning. outside her window and it was clear that they were literally flying through a thunderstorm and that's why julianne and her mother just look at each other unable to speak because they are so scared and they hear the other passengers screaming and shouting and everyone's screams .

He started to panic and then the plane started shaking up and down like it was being lifted 50 feet and falling 50 feet over and over again and then all of a sudden there is a bright flash inside the cabin and then the lights go out and then they look. on the left side and they see smoke and flames coming out of the engine on the wing and then the plane felt like it was falling from the sky before it went into an aggressive dive and began to bomb directly towards the ground. It turned out that a big flash in the cabin was lightning hitting the engine.

Julianne would say, despite this incredible chaos, the worst moment imaginable. Her mother grabbed her hand and said this is it, it's over and that was the last thing her mother said. For her, after that, all Julianne can remember is the sound of other passengers screaming and crying and the horrible screeching noises that the engines were making and as she listens to these horrible sounds preparing to die, suddenly the noise just stops and she is outside. from the plane she is still strapped to her seat but now she is free falling away from the plane and she remembers thinking how incredibly alone she was and then she looked down and saw the jungle canopy approaching quickly and she knew she was about to die and then he fainted She doesn't remember anything about the actual impact, but she would later discover that the plane broke up two miles up, so she was in free fall for two miles in that seat before hitting the ground.

She woke up the next day looking up. towards the jungle canopy and the first thing she said out loud was that I survived and she looks around and shouts for her mother, but there is no one around her, no one shouts at her and that's when she realizes that I'm completely alone and probably everyone, including my mother is dead, had somehow managed to not only survive, but she only had a broken collarbone and some deep cuts on her leg. She could hear planes flying overhead that were probably searching for the crash site and possible survivors, but she couldn't see them because the canopy was so thick that they couldn't see her.

She was wearing a very short sleeveless minidress and flip flops, but she had actually lost one of her flip flops, but she decided to leave the other one because she had lost her glasses. in the accident and was incredibly nearsighted, so she would wear these flip flops to test the terrain in front of her before committing to barefoot. Before the accident, she had spent a year and a half at her parents' research station in the Amazon and At that time he had acquired very valuable survival skills for being in the rainforest, so the first thing he did was get up and go look for a stream because his father had told him that wherever there is a stream, that stream will often lead. to civilization and then he started walking and sure enough, he found a stream and instead of just walking next to the stream, he got into it and started walking directly into the middle of the stream because his parents had told him that it's less likely than being attacked by a predator if you're standing in water versus standing on land she only walked a little bit before she found the crash site there were no bodies it was just debris and all she could find that was useful was a small bag of sweets so she took the bag of sweets and continued walking down the river and for several days she trudged and said that during the day it was incredibly hot and miserable and at night it was very cold and since she only had this little dress It was particularly miserable, but He said the scariest part of the whole experience was at night when you're trying to sleep it's pitch black and you're in the middle of the Amazon and there are predators all around you, he said it was horrible.

On the fourth day of being in the jungle, while walking down the river, he heard the sound of a king vulture landing, a sound he recognized from the time he spent in his parents' Amazon reserve and the sound of this vulture was just around the corner. around the corner, so he couldn't see it, but he knew that these huge vultures only appeared if there was a ton of dead meat, so he knew that as soon as he turned that corner he would come face to face with the bodies from the crash, potentially even with she. mother, but she continued moving forward, she turned the corner and, sure enough, there were bodies that the vulture took away and what she was looking at was a bench with three passengers still buckled in and the three heads had been rammed into the ground.

They had clearly landed on their heads. He immediately had an intense feeling of panic because he had never seen a dead body before and he thought one of them was his mother, but when he went over to examine this particular dead body he saw that her toenails were painted pink and her mother had never seen him. She painted her toenails and therefore had an intense feeling of relief knowing that she was not her mother, but at the same time she felt very ashamed to think that there was nothing in or near the three bodies that could help her. survive, so she said goodbye and continued walking down the river, on the tenth day of this ordeal she could barely stand upright due to a broken collarbone and pain in her leg, so she began to float down the river in one of the sections deeper and then He thought he was hallucinating when he saw this big boat docked on the bank of the river, but when he got closer and touched it, it was real, he went up to the bank, looked inside, there was no one on the boat, but it looked like a boat that was used and there was a path that led back into the jungle, so she followed the path and it led to this cabin and there was no one there, but outside there was a jug of gasoline and she had this wound on her arm that was full of maggots and she remembered that her father used gasoline to get the maggots out of his dog's wound, so she took the gasoline and threw it on her arm and said it was terribly painful, but she was able to get 30 maggots out and she felt very proud of that achievement afterwards After that, she fell asleep inside the cabin and just hoped that whoever lived here would eventually show up and sure enough, the next day she woke up and heard two men talking outside walking towards her and said: The sound of their voice was like the sound of an angel and when the two men came up the path and saw her, they were obviously very surprised and initially thought she was like this water goddess from a local legend involving a half mermaid half woman who was light skinned and She told them in Spanish that she is not a water goddess that she is actually a girl and that she had just survived a plane crash and that she really needed their help.

It was getting late that day so they couldn't bring her. They left the jungle immediately like this. who helped her treat her wounds gave her some food and water and the next day they brought her back to civilization the day after her rescue she was reunited with her father and apparently he was so overcome with emotion because he thought she was dead that for several hours he simply couldn't speak julianne was the only survivor of the 91 people who boarded Lance Flight 508 her mother actually survived the crash but then died several days later because she couldn't move this is somethingThat haunts Julianne and her family because they think about how horrible those last moments must have been for her mother.

Julianne eventually recovered from all of her physical injuries, but to this day she deals with significant emotional trauma, so that will do it guys, if you found the secret in today's episode, let us know in the comments what it is and where you found it, so give us the timestamp and if you're the first to do it, we'll pin you at the top of the comments section if you enjoyed today's. video and you haven't already, invite the like button to your house for oreos and milk, but replace all the oreos cream filling with playdough.
