1 May
Summary
- A 19-year-old student survived two days lost in mountains.
- He rationed packaged snacks and drank stream water.
- A large-scale search operation led to his rescue.
A 19-year-old university student, Nguyen Tuan Anh, miraculously survived two days alone after getting lost on Tam Dao mountain in Vietnam. While trekking with a group of ten on April 19, Anh became separated during the descent due to fatigue and confusion about the trail. His phone lost network connectivity, leaving him without communication.
He took shelter near a stream, rationing his limited supply of Orion Choco Pies and relying on stream water for hydration. Meanwhile, his companions reported him missing, triggering a large-scale rescue effort by local authorities, police, and soldiers.
Rescuers located a conscious and stable, albeit exhausted, Anh on April 21. He was found with some of his snack packets still in his possession, highlighting his resourcefulness during the ordeal.
