the stories must involve perseverance of the human spirit

can you all just paste the article on if possible

Answer 1

One such story involves a 1972 plane crash in the Andes mountains. The plane was carrying a Rugby team. Of the 45 passengers, 16 were found alive 10 weeks after the crash. After a dramatic crash into snowy mountains the 32 survivors of the initial crash, with little food or warm clothing (it was Spring where they had departed from), took shelter in the plane's fuselage. Of those 32 initial survivors, however, several of course were injured and would not make it. Ultimately, those who were still alive came to the conclusion that, if they were to have any hope of staying alive, they had to eat, and they resorted to cannibalism, eating the meat of those who had died before them. While that aspect of the story probably held the most...fascination...for others when the story unfolded that's just one aspect of their survival. An avalanche, for example, killed many of the survivors while they all slept in the fuselage one night. They couldn't go looking for help because there was no way they could survive the exposure, but eventually they figured out how to fashion insulated sleeping bags using insulation from the tail of the plane. About two months into their ordeal, two of the survivors went on a trek looking for help; eventually they came across some people and were able to communicate with them to let the rest of the world know they had survived. They were rescued shortly thereafter.

I'm sure there are articles you can find online if you're interested; while it may be too long to be of any help to you today, you should check out the book by Piers Paul Read sometime (the book is called "Alive"), it's an amazing story.

Answer 2

The following are unsuitable: four. When a man says he does not appreciate you, it approach yor no longer making any experience. See #23, say matters evidently and without problems and pass instantly to the factor five. I've under no circumstances opened a phonecall with have you ever eaten already thirteen. Guys do not cry - aside from homosexual men; the overwhelmed down man the lady consistently notion she desired; and once they wish to hold ladies comfortable via 'shaing' emotion 21. If a man take a look at's to make excuses he likes you however cannot do what your inquiring for a few cause; if he says no with none excuses he does not such as you 24. Guys do not hate gays, no longer in my enjoy besides, I understand i do not; do not wish to be locked in a closet with a homosexual, however theres many females I would not fancy it with both. 26. If I'm hungry, I devour; in the event you wish a rose, you leave out your lunch forty one. Wouldn't say so, unique guys select unique matters; and fine legs in a minskirt is most efficient to brains hidden in the back of a shrek masks seventy five. A organization of men would dit for a while in silence or complete vehicle trips, ladies cannot eighty. Not unsuitable, simply relatively hypocritical! 89. Because a man appears at you he loves you greater than your boyfreind, good enough, that is sensible... I obtained relatively bored so I neglected a few. Some are simply absolutely dull so I did not trouble, like #ninety four, #ninety three and so forth. #89 is a well instance, even though I commented on that. Most are proper despite the fact that I'ld say, so trust above answerer that no less than eighty five% are proper. Edit: To beneath answerer, I am from England, do you care? No, I do not care that you are from Saudi Arabia both. At 23 I believe you are somewhat too ancient for her, obviousy thats no longer my option despite the fact that. You've no longer stated what you believe of the record despite the fact that.

Answer 3

Well, there are more than two of them but the most amazing story I've heard lately are the pilots and hijackers of the planes that went into the World Trade Centers buildings have been found in the Middle East. I think a few were found in Saudi Arabia and some in Egypt but I'm just going by memory.

You would think that the free press that we so have here in Americal would jump all over these guys for an interview but I haven't seen one.

Have you?

I would especially like them to ask the one guy how they found his passport on the street by the World Trade Center (no blood on it mind you or fire marks or burns - it really just looked used normally not like it had jumped out of his pocket in the midst of a flaming inferno!). A masterful work to say the least!

How did these guys do that? Get out of a flaming inferno that crashed into a building doing 400 mph and then get out of that building, get out of New York and slip out of the country at the height of what was basically a lockdown?

Also, not as amazing but close is the passenger that they held up at a border crossing in Europe (somewheres - I don't know maybe the French Riveria - I am just going from memory) that was on the "plane" that hit the Pentagon. As I remember it was a female.

Those women are tricky! You have to watch them like a hawk!

But seriously, I would so like to know just how she did it!

Answer 4

This is a amazing story, this guy had to survive the odds of trying to do his own work against the element of time. He needed two true stories of survivors, I think he has one now, something tells me.
Another true story about this guy is that he posted his problem on the Internet hoping for the odds to go his way and for him to achieve a victory over the element of learning.
What will happen next?
No one knows...

Answer 5

There was a triumphant story of a soldier that fell over ninety feet to the chilling waters of the Adriatic Sea and stayed afloat and alive for over three days before being found. He used his clothes as bouancy devices and avoided several sharks. It was amazing that he signaled a passing fishing boat with his flashing light that he had turned off up until that moment. Once he was taken back to shore, he called his wife and she contacted military for his rescue.

Answer 6
