The ONLY Person Who Survived 133 Days Stranded at Sea

A British merchant ship gets torpedoed in the mid-Atlantic and one man ends up alone on an 8x8 raft. This video breaks down how Poon Lim stretched a 7-day survival kit into 133 days: the math he used to realize "land is 150 days away", the improvised fishing gear made from a flashlight spring and rope fibers, the rain-catch system that kept him alive, and the moment a U.S. Navy ship sees him up close… then leaves. Then it gets crazier: why he started hunting sharks for drinkable fluids, how he rebuilt after a storm reset him to zero, and the final coastline gamble that decides if he dies within sight of land or walks out.
