News: Indonesian Teenager Is Rescued After 49 Days Lost At Sea

It was indeed an incredible moment when an Indonesian Teenager was rescued after 49 days
lost at sea on a floating fish trap.

His survival techniques included using the vessel’s wooden slats to make a fire, and drinking seawater that he filtered through his shirt.

The Teenager being identified as Aldi Novel Adilang, 19 years of age, was living on and operating the fish trap, locally known as a rompong, when the rope anchoring the vessel in place broke on July 14 and strong winds blew him roughly 1,200 miles away into Japanese waters. He floated adrift for nearly two months on the makeshift vessel, which is not equipped with steering like a boat, according to the Associated Press twitter handle.
