Videos explaining things. Mostly over topics like history, geography, economics and science.
We believe that the world is a wonderfully fascinating place, and you can find wonder anywhere you look. That is what our videos attempt to convey.
Currently, I try my best to release one video every week. Bear with me :)
It’s insane to think that while we were all going about our lives normally, there was someone that was stuck in the ocean for more than a year
that trip probably took *Atoll* on him
I had just turned 19 and was in my sophomore Year in College thinking life was rough while my guy over here was stuck in the Ocean lol
Holy hell this just hit me
Makes me wonder if anyone is going through that right now
Just think there’s been prolly hundreds of ppl that went through that and we’ll just never know about it crazy world we live in
imagine if the human that he found at the house said im finally saved!
that trip probably took *Atoll* on him
BRUHHH HAHAHAHAHA
What a plot twist
no
You should write short story animations for TheXvid. I have a feeling they’d be good…
Every single human being celebrated their birthday while this man was stuck alone on a boat
I don’t celebrated 😂
@Reggae sunnY he means there birthdays
@FinlandForceTeam no
Christmas too
Every single human celebread their birthday while I was working :(
I can't believe he managed to physically and mentally overcome this
Once you've been stuck in hardship for a while, survival just becomes habit. Especially once you have a system worked out for survival.
He thought about you.
Why did I read the username TT
can't*, managed*
Someone is currently beating this record and no one knows it...
I wish no one has to go through so much trauma
that trip probably took *Atoll* on him
Wow
@Super Dingo i reckon the record stands because he came back alive
I genuinely hope not -
During the entirety of 2013, this man was somewhere in the ocean, just drifting. Think of anything that happened then, at the same time, he was out facing this.
@GGF871 The joke > You.
@Yellow Flash woooosh time
@The Copper Element Itself pretty sure it was a joke
@PantsofVance he is probaly saying that he had 2 flies in that year crossing the near equator pacific lol, and passangers cant even see that further below
If I ever go missing with a friend and he turns up a year later and I'm dead, please honor my memory and celebrate with him and his family and don't sue him... Even if he did eat me, at least I helped the homie out.
@Charles Lalawigan ☠️☠️
@Osama Sufian most fish stay by the coast
If you are in the middle of the ocean food will be hard to come by. You either find a mountain size amount of fish in a single location or none at all for miles.
@TheRatsintheWalls him barely walking on his own when he first made it to the island definitely tells us it was hard enough for him to think about how it's his chance to eat as much as he can to survive a little longer
@TheRatsintheWalls there was food available but it was hard too get, he was prolly eat once every 3 days, do uk how hard it is to catch fish with your hands
This is a lucky one. Imagine all those unlucky dudes, we never hear about...
A father in Brazil tried to fly with balloons and got lost in the ocean. Half of his body was found months later.
That is 1.2 years
true and those people who waved the unlucky ones and did not help may be sitting next to us
:(
My immediate thought was "so did he eat the guy."
Even if he did, provided he didnt kill the guy, in that situation i dont blame him
@Shah Affiq not proving anything. Just an off-hand comment that was taken to the ends of the earth and then some. Obviously, no-one through all of human history has ever committed cannibalism, and it would be ridiculous to assume otherwise, or even *suggest that it was possible*
@Hashirama Senju it's possible but unlikely. Even if he ate the guy then what you're trying prove?
@Zachary Jones That's still another 1/2 days of food where he can fill himself up completely which will then last him at least a week from his last serving...
@First name Last name I said that it was highly unlikely for the simple fact that it wouldn't increase his chances of survival because he had to go a whole year surviving anyways. Read my whole comment. One or two days maximum of eating his friends wouldn't help over a year span.
@Zachary Jones There is still meat on the bones and who said he was still eating him months later. Wtf is your logic? LOL
To go through the emotional distress of being 400 days at sea with a crew mate dying then having the family sue you. It’s just sickening
He was a bad captain, not unlucky but careless. They deserve compensation
@Stefan Urban We don't have the death penalty. And he's Mexican. And he didn't eat him.
@Stefan Urban what does the British Government have to do with him, plus there are different governments in Britain
maybe he shouldn't have ate him then
Stefan Urban what I’d he didn’t?
The amount of anger and frustration I feel just sitting in my bed watching this through a screen when I heard about 1) how the one ship he had seen after months IGNORED him and 2) how he got sued after all that ._.
Imagine how he must’ve felt :(
@Janelle O bro provided if someone's signals that he is in distress , ships do come across a lot of fishing vessels deep down the ocean but they dnt turn there head up to them just to ask if everything's okay
@Viliam Tomčo those ships have ways to rescue people. They are prepared to rescue men overboard. Of course they could have done something
The saddest part is that it wasn't possible even for them to rescue him. Those cargo ships are big and can't be stopped, also they are really tall with ladder being almost 17 meter above sea level. Also the waves would propably crush him if he came too close to that ship.
I actually read the book, called “438 Days”. I feel really bad for the other guy. It was his first day out at sea, and he was so scared. According to the book, he died from eating a bird who had a venomous snake in its stomach.
"They knew a storm was coming, but they could make enough in one day to support their families for a week."
Go tomorrow, bro.
@Gary Hernandez Pulido "sinner"
Lol 🤣
@Heart2HeartBooks stick to avengers you captin america fanboy
‘bRo’ he’s not your bro
Its beyond absolutely unimaginable to realize that during the ENTIRE year of 2013 from the first second to the last
-He didnt ever feel solid ground and land
-He didnt even ever see any land
-He wasn't ever covered by a roof
-He couldnt ever walk
-He couldnt know how long he would still have to endure what he was experiencing
-And so much more...
Absolutely horrifying..
What if you were lost at sea and found someone else that was also lost at sea
Really? Everyone's just passing by when an obvious dad joke can be made?... Fine, I'll do it...... You just make a new friendSHIP.
@Sandhorst you know they could just be friends right
Someone will be gone and someone will survive 🗿
What’s really crazy is what if y’all speak 2 different languages lol
Y’all better think of something lol
He’s fortunate to have been in the part of the ocean that doesn’t really get much storm activity. It’s crazy how the ocean is the equivalent of a desert to humans. Honestly he probably didn’t eat his friend, dude had slowly starved to death.
He also had no reason to eat the other guy, he had a lot of food sources (not the best, but he had), if u compare rotten dead human flesh with recently killed uncut uncooked fish what would u ratter? He probaly just yeeted the friend out because of the many problems a corpse can bring. The family was really ignorant with him, just imagine having to see your own friend die slowly
Someone could be breaking this record right now
true
it really amazes me how much the guy wanted to be alive. I mean i would literally just give up
I feel like this story is something that could get a lot of attention as a survival move similar to 127 hours, have the book as the main source of inspiration but really make it a character study and focus on how much mental and physical damage that could do to a person
That's amazing!! Who knows how many people were actually lost at sea way longer than that and never made it. We will never know! However, his story about the cargo ship that just went by, that was most likely a very strong hallucination. Most likely he was so dehydrated, that he began to hallucinate, this is very common for people who are stranded at the ocean. Most likely that's what happened to his friend, and made him suicidal. Anyways, that's an amazing story!!
Now I gotta read his book. I believe everything was engraved in his memory perfectly so it wasn’t difficult to write it, he even deserved a movie made about him
Maximum respect to those who make a living from the seas.
It's a life or death situation.
This guy was out stranded on a boat for basically a year somehow physically and mentally overcoming this whilst I was probably crying to some minor inconvenience. This really shows how long id survive 💀
Imagine him getting finally home after 438 days and asking his wife whats for lunch and she answers ‘fish’ lol.
that probably would've taken *Atoll* on him
That’s sus
@Logan Addis Lmao
@Vic Salvo We got it, it's just not funny
If they think he "probably" ate their son, then they're basically saying that's what they would have done if they were in that situation. Therefore, case dismissed.
Thats not what they're "basically saying"
Also how would he store the body and eat it, he probably cannot eat it all at once.
@mabhodlela JJ I can tell English isn't your first language. What I'm saying is the main assumption is he killed his friend and immediately ate the body. Just because he got survive doesn't make him innocent from doing certain things
@mabhodlela JJ ? XD why does rotting ever matter. He ate right after killing, that is the assumption here
He was remarkably well fed after being alone with no food for 438 days.
I cant really blame him if he ate his friend "IF"
I mean he was lost more than a year without knowing is he going to live the next day or not...
What do you expect?
Plus corpses are smelly and why would you ate that?
@Phencyclidine M i mean maybe they had something sharp. Because how else would they get blood from turtles
Plus his friend was sick, he probably could have died eating his friend
@joe marx exactly. plus eating humans especially raw can endanger your life. why tf would he do that. at most the body can last for a few days before going bad and what did he do? bite into him? theres no mention he had anything sharp that can cut into his skin to do so. i hope he had a good lawyer to defend him and sue the family for defamation
How stupid. If anyone can survive for 438 days without eating human then why would he eat human just to satisfy his hunger for a day?
Gotta read this book! His ethnicity definitely helped with that sun, i'm sure he eventually got sunburn though. And those peaceful nights out in the middle of the ocean must have been crazy.
Imagine the stars…
words cannot describe the amount of hatred i feel towards the people who sued him after he was lost at sea.
More so than the 4 men on the cargo ship that did not rescue him?
If I had to choose between starving to death and eating my dead friend, I'd choose to starve
I think he killed and ate his friend. Happens more in those situations than you would think. In larger groups, they just eat the ones who die. When its 1 on 1 or just a few people involved starving and needing water, cannibalism sometimes happens. Bet their lawyers argued that
@Pious I mean they probably assumed that he was unwillingly eaten and the friend killed him then ate him
Hush
"They never even bothered to stop" - Like a freight ship could just stop :D This option is pretty much non-existent. The best you can hope for is that the crew reports your position and hoping that any cost guard has a plane available with a sufficiently long range to drop them some supplies, plus they would need to dispatch a ship to pick him up...
Always: extra batteries, second/third way to maneuver the craft, and a small stash of survival gear. Everytime. Even if you go out on a lake.
They had it but had to let it go cause they needed to maneuver away from the storm
The next time I'm having a bad day there's a chance someone's out there hoping to be rescued today!
Fascinating story! Thoroughly enjoyed this.
I wonder how the interaction went with the people he first saw, especially with a language barrier
It's unlikely he ate him. They managed to feed themselves before that. And he died from being sick. Eating him would be poisoning oneself since they only ate raw food. That's what I think. I wouldn't eat a sick animal.
Also there would be no way to keep the meat "edible". I don't expect the fridge to be still working I guess it was powered by the motor. There's no reason to kill a human to eat it like that.
Question for yall. youre 15 miles away from the shore and you know youll be stranded in the middle of the ocean if you dont try. Do you try to make the swim? assuming its relatively calm conditions
Swimming 15 miles is a huge risk in open ocean. Not to mention the extra strength you need to go against the current. The average person wouldn’t make it
Whenever my personal life becomes overwhelming, I watch this video to feel better.. At least I'm not going through this nightmare! 🥶
Imagine how scary it must have been to suddenly hear someone knocking on your door even though you live in the middle of nowhere
Like #860
He must have been petrified
@Vinny Booboo
If you watch documentaries, you'll see...the people who found Jose Salvador Alvarega contacted authorities.
i dont live in the middle of nowhere lol
calamorta 😂 Yeah....Knocking.... at night.... in a storm.... 😱😂
*Love how I'm watching this right before a fishing trip in the ocean tomorrrow*
@Just Peachy bro dw, i wouldn't leave the boys like that.
I was going to ask if you're back but your replies answers it. Glad you're safe.
@Yellow Flash haha yup
@Bdawg 910 thankfully you didnt break salvador’s record
@Just a user 🇺🇦 lol nah it's all good
Been to the Marshall Islands. I’ve never seen water so pure. I was in the military and when our plane landed and took off it was a huge spectacle that all of the natives came and watched.
The fact that he was sued after going through this ordeal, is proof that there are horrible human beings on this planet.
Man poor guy. Freaking legend. Survived 438 days lost at sea, just to get sued..
It's sad that someone probably has beaten this world record, and may still be extending the time.
Or worse, someone who would have beaten the record had they survived
Mariners and astronauts are the bravest men
Or no one ever found them and they died
Sala L., not probably.
Mean Man what
Exedy nos
I can't even believe that a cargo ship sailed right past him and people waved at him. That must have been a hallucination. That would not happen. Or maybe I have too much faith in humanity.
I love your videos thank you keep up this great work
In that coast (the coast of Chiapas, where he set sail) have disappeared many fishing men. Actually the other guy that castaway with him was from Pijijiapan, the town were my grandparents live. I have been in a beach there and the waves are super strong; despite that, people doesn’t care, they are used.
imagine how that must feel when you're an astronaut being lost in space.
Like this just in 3D, almost impossible to ever be found.
Imagine being an astronaut in the ocean
they really tried sueing for 1 mil and this guy was in the middle of the ocean for 438 days. tells alot bout our world
@Colter 42,550 US.
Not While lost.. Basic research. After he was going to be getting some money from a book deal, he was sued by the family of the companion who died with him. They accused him of eating his companion, but mostly just did this when finding out he was going to get some money.
Here in greece there was a guy. He was on a trip with his family in their little car. They stopped on a highway parking spot for him to take a piss. When he returned he found his car ablaze, his wife and daughter dead. A rich kid had lost control of daddy gift porsche and crashed onto the little car with more than 180mph. The guy sued rich dad, got around 1 million in damages and re-married and had a family in less than 1 year. Everybody wandered how the fuck can someone recover from such a tragedy so fast. This was like a double edged lottery but still many couldn't fathom at that time how someone recovers so fast from losing their wife and kid in an instant. In every public appearance he wouldn't show any kind of emotion.
1 mil Mexican whats that like $5 US?
True...
This is my worst fear ever, I’ve had nightmares of getting lost at sea
Dude, I'm sure every member of that family would've eaten the other guy as well. I don't know if he even did it, but the question is who wouldn't. If you're so desperate and it's your only chance of survival, what is wrong with that?
Imagine if he drifted in the empty part of Pacific Ocean? Somewhere near Point Nemo?
“Finally! After a year and a half, I’m finally free again!”
*yo we’re suing you for something you probably didn’t even do after being trapped in the pacific for over a year.*
FOR THOSE WONDERING WHY HE GOT SUED.
A few weeks after that, he made the trip back to Mexico to talk to the Córdoba family and to tell them the story of what had happened to their son. He was accompanied by his attorney, Benedicto Perlera, whom he had known since he was a child. Alvarenga and Perlera had a huge argument on the journey, and Perlera now represents the Córdoba family.
Alvarenga signed a book deal, but chose to use a different lawyer in setting it up. Shortly after signing the deal, Perlera sued him for $1 million for breach of contract because he had replaced Perlera with another law firm, according to an NBC report.
The attorney also provided support for the Córdoba family’s claim that their son did not die the way Alvarenga described it. They suggested that Alvarenga had eaten his companion’s body rather than throwing it overboard, and this was the basis for a second $1 million legal action against the unfortunate Alvarenga. The family believe they should be entitled to a share of royalties made from the book.
- Yup, his old butthurt gold digging asshole attorney is the reason why he got sued.
@Skeleton Janitor not you being racist during bhm 😐
@LUCA viva IL russell
Ah yes, the infinitely resupplying human body able to feed a man for 438 days. What a true marvel of evolution.
even if he did eat him, he was a literal corpse anyways. i wouldn’t blame him because all he could eat were raw fish. they have absolutely NO proof that he was eaten alive or killed by him, so therefore case dismissed.
Also, the guy was sick, so eating him would just make the other guy sick, so he couldn’t have eaten him.
Survived over a year in the ocean. Wow!
when I was working on a cruise ship. we met a burning cargo ship with 5 to 8 crew waving for help in the middle of the night, the captain of our ship left without stopping and rescuing as he don't want to delay reaching the next port of call,
I can honestly see this as a film. Sounds like an extremely interesting and frustrating story.
there is the life of pi
@SirTickleBear Pretty interesting how Life of Pi came out in the cinema at the same time of the start of them floating in the Pacific
Fr
Yeah, frustrating because they were too stupid and shortsighted to take even the most basic of safety measures and precautions. They may not be rich, but a pair of oars doesn't cost shit.
It reminds me of Life of Pi
Imagine being on a cargo ship and seeing some guy alone in a tiny boat pass you in the most remote part of the ocean looking terrible and you’re just like “I missed the part where that’s my problem.”
Why does it always seem, in every survival scenario like this, that on every encounter which could result in rescue, it doesn't.
For instance, numerous stories about people being trapped at sea, in the desert, firing flares at a passing helicopter or plane, who either doesn't see it, or by chance some thick cloud just comes overhead and blocks their vision of the tiny figure trapped on the ground/ocean below, or in the desert and right at that moment a sandstorm comes and masks the flare completely from above.
24KM away from the shoreline, when their motor just happens to give up....
Man waves at a passing ship, no doubt using what little energy he has left to scream for help, crew on the boat think he's probably just out fishing and waving at them, so wave back and carry on.. "to work!".
Meanwhile he's then left to drift around hopelessly in the ocean for another few months....
Imagine all them cold rainy nights of hopelessness and worry. The soreness from sitting in a boat,eating disgusting things. That guy really wanted to live. He won the challenge of how bad you want to live. I need to see this guy interviewed. How about a movie?
There needs to be a documentary about this man
I'm guessing he never plays ocean sounds to go to sleep
Considering probably less than 0.00001% of people do this anyway, I think it was a safe assumption to say that he didn't do that even before he was stranded.
i mean he was there for so long he might as well just call it home
HAHA
Or even sleep on a water bed
Merry Christmas he probably has some sort of panic attack or PTSD from ocean sounds
Damn, I saw a video a while ago of someone surviving like 30 days at sea (forgot the exact number, perhaps 28 or 32 idk) and I was amazed but 438!?
Such a strong will to live/survive, my mans a savage
This reminds me of Kon Tiki, the documentary from the 1950s. Once you get caught in the current, you are going West if you don't have a motor. The fiction movie Kon Tiki sucked, by the way, but the documentary was fascinating.
That family the sued this poor man are total douche bags! How do they think finding any evidence against a guy who’s been in the middle of the sea and why would you sue someone has already suffer enough
The fact that he got sued after that is like the biggest slap in the face lol
@GrimGracious it didnt have pity on him then either, he had to get sued
@Morten 85 how do you know about when he reached the island the picture was probably taken a few months later
@skoluh there is also no body, so it could have been assumed, that he ate him and threw his bones in the pacific
@BritGuyStuckInSweden and get stuck for over a year at sea? Yea no
@juamont Damn, if only it happened at macragge, maybe he would have had a chance
Imagine if we are for that side how could we feel
How are you going to have the audacity to sue someone after being lost at sea for 438 days in the pacific ocean and STILL surviving?? That guy diserves some kind of diploma.
Being in that small of a boat, how in Gods name did he luckily manage to survive the various storms that he must have encountered over that long of a time? Really hard to believe
Poor José... He had to spend that entire time by himself (mostly) and when he was found he was sued for something he didn't even do! That's what I call a double whammy.
It's scary to think that right now there is probably someone else lost at sea that nobody knows about.
Maybe in a couple hundred days we'll hear their story.... if they make it!
@Redmonkey010 damn that's hard to believe there's probably treasure so far out there.
We must pray for them! 🙏
@SuperSonicSpeeder also....we are able to send a spacecraft to fucking mars but can't find a missing plane in the ocean? something is suspect.
@SuperSonicSpeeder we don't have satellites....everything is through cell towers and radio towers that triangulate your position (GPS) and undersea cables (internet). research it. NASA lies. why do you think airplanes dont got GPS signal in the middle of the ocean hmmm? cuz no cell towers nearby to triangulate position
Abdu Jose banana and rice
Me: Watching this video
Video: The two men were on a tiny boat
Me: reads the title: how one man survived being lost at sea : R.I.P
The other guy didn't survive though.
It's the determination to stay alive for me like if I was in a situation I wouldn't even try for more than 2 days at most haha I'm not drinking my own urine or eating raw fish, death sounds way better
And you thought Magellan had it bad; his crew survived for 96 days without sight of land, 500 years ago.
If this is the longest someone survived at sea before getting rescued imagine the longest someone survived before inevitably dying in the middle of the ocean
My god, imagine the feeling of stepping on land after being in a boat for 438 days
My question is: Was he even able to walk normally?
Man after 3 hours of being on water and then tried to sleep. I literally felt like my bed was bouncing or like floating on something
Imagine trying to sleep after over a *YEAR*
Yeh in it like how lasted more than a year without food
There are people in 3rd world countries like Malaysia where they live on floating fishing villages their whole life.
Now imagine being in space
i have heard of this story. imagine being stuck at see and being on a tiny tiny boat. which is probably uncomfortable. and then this happens. that would suck
Seriously?? I can’t believe that family sued him based on a suspicion! And yeah if you’re stuck out at sea for that long and you have no source of food, then your own body is going to do whatever it can to survive and that includes telling you to eat from whatever source is in front of you. It’s survival. (Not saying he actually ate the guy, but just in case, I’m standing up for that)
Moral of the story for all of y’all, always bring an oar when going out on a boat
An oar wouldnt do shit if you are 100 km away from the coast.
Oar?
Imagine being at sea for a YEAR AND 82 DAYS JEEZ
Imagine suing a man on a baseless, and unproveable argument of him having supposedly 'executed' his coworker and eaten him. And then ALSO demanding a fifty-percent share of the profits of the book published by the survivor, on the basis of compensation for him dying, which wasn't the suvivor's fault.
I didn't know having a 1 digit IQ was possible, but the family of his coworker proved me wrong.
@bg_ant All humans are NOT trash,There are good people out there and people who ARE evil were most likely made evil.Japan makes kids independent and respectful but if you put a kid in a toxic environment they'll become toxic themselves because they were made toxic
That has nothing to do with IQ, they're just horrible, horrible people.
@Atomic - Studios I thought about that
And the fact it’s not even true
He died of starvation and asked to have his body thrown overboard and that’s exactly what happened
Personally, if I was stuck in a situation where I was 280 miles off the coast, I would follow what direction the sun is in the morning hours or what direction the sun is in the twilight hours. The sun rises in the east in the morning and sets in the west in the evening hours. Of course this is dependent on if its clear or not, but if it is I would work my way toward the sun in the morning and away from the sun in the evening. Since off the coast is west then you would want to turn the boat 180 degrees the other direction.
That's other worldly mental strenght!
425 km's in five days! Due Wind. That's 80kms a day. 3,5km per hour
This man is so awesome. Read the book!!
"engines died, no paddles, no oars..." well there's your problem right there, you NEVER get in a boat with no oars.
@zGJungle Well, the broken radio and the broken engine. lol
I would of been looking for a part of the boat I can rip off and use as a paddle, if there is any such non critical parts ?
Hoenstly i doubt it would, the oceans current and wind is gonna be way stronger then whatever energy your legs kicking make, not even to consider you would have to travel 24 entire kilometers doing it as well. I'm with you on this though, id rather try and (probably) fail to get back rather then just sit and let myself float out to the abyss of the pacific lmao
I agree, I don't like water or boats or anything but you can be sure as shit there will be something to paddle with. My question... Why didn't they jump into the water and push the boat while kicking? I know that would burn energy but do you think it would of made a difference?
How a 30 hour shift turned into a 10,512 hour shift.
With no pay and he was also sued lol
Imagine working 10482 hours of unpaid overtime
Story of my life...
Sounds likr every Monday
and still get paid for only 30 hours
This guy spent the entirety of 2013 staring at a boat and water. That’s mental
So you're telling me spent Christmas AND his birthday on a boat?!
The guy who survived 133 days in sea: D: he beaten my score D:
Someone could be beating this record right now
*You can only imagine how this man broke down when he saw another human face after all that time. His mind must have been near it’s limits of monotony. To see another human must have invoked a gush of emotions*
Lol mfs can’t even handle trolls on TheXvid no more
Alright. Tf is this use of weeb and anime to insult someone?
@明 You experience this
@明 lmaoo
Forgot to mention that some people don't believe he actually spent that much on the ocean
Imagine if they're is someone out there is the pacific today. That has been there way longer than him. still surviving. it's a horrifying thought.
I can’t imagine celebrating Christmas in the middle of the ocean
if you sometimes get suicidel imagine this man, this is the best example of human power of will , everything is possible when you want to ......
living Legend
We need a movie of this.
Cast Away? I know that in the movie he isn’t stuck in a boat in the middle of the ocean but it’s the same concept
@sebestyen molnar So... Like they did at the end of the book?
It wouldn't be very interesting, though.
It will be a 348 day long movie
438 days
How small a human is but look how smart his brain is,beautiful.
it's sooo sick that they were so close to the shore again in the beginning and then they are lost for over 400+ days at sea
This literally reminds me of Odyssey. Odysseus almost got home, he even saw a shore, but then wind took his ship sideways and he returned only 10 years later.
