What would you do if you knew your time was up? How would you act in your final moments?
Take a page out of these people’s books. None of them were prepared but given the circumstances, they had no choice but to accept their fate. Modern technology allowed them to record their final moments for the world to see.
A diver lost at sea recorded his final moments as he floated alone in the middle of nowhere.
Jacob Childs was part of a group dive exploring a shipwreck 30 miles off an Australian coast when he got separated then got swept away by a current. Using his GoPro, he recorded what he thought were to be his final moments out in the water.
The boat pulled away leaving Childs all alone.
“So that’s a wrap on old Jakey. I guess.”
With the sun setting, his hopes slowly faded away only to be restored by the sight of a rescue plane. He was in the water for 6 agonizing hours. Jacob credits his suit and the marker for keeping him alive.
This Minnesota nurse fell down a hundred foot ravine only to survive.
She took a selfie then managed to scratch a goodbye note to her parents. Amber was hiking in Arizona when she fell. She broke her back in 3 places, her nose across the top, and ripped her ear off the back part.
Amber had no cellphone service so calling for help proved useless.
She lay there for hours even through the desert’s bitter evening cold until 24 hours later when a search and rescue helicopter found her and airlifted her to safety. She smiled through her ordeal, recovering in the same clinic she worked in as a nurse. Tough lady!
Kevin Diepenbrock was out riding motorcycles with his buddy Philip when they crashed into each other and fell down a ravine. Philip passed but Kevin stayed on, except he wasn’t sure how much longer he had.
He had no cellphone reception so Kevin used his phone to record his final messages for his family. 30 hours later, a motorist heard Kevin’s cries for help. He lives to ride another day. This time with a newfound appreciation for the people in his life.
The Mojave desert is not a place you’d want to be stranded in.
Robert Ringo was hiking in Joshua Tree National Park when he fell on rocks and broke his leg. No cellphone service in a place that had temperatures soaring to 106 degrees, Robert began to record his final moments.
“Probably nobody will ever see this.”
His car was less than a mile away but he couldn’t walk. Robert survived on Juniper berries and what little water he had left. Ringo lay there for 40 hours before help arrived. That helicopter was a sight for sore eyes.
Robert says he’s ready to start hiking again as soon as his leg healed. This is one tough man.
