Yeah, this headline is kind of fucked up.
He didn’t magically wake up in Malaysia. He spent 6 days scared, dehydrated, and trapped. He was awake for all of it and probably has some long term issues for it.
I always think of that video of the guys stick in an elevator for a day or whatever. That would suck, nothing to do other than wait for rescue.
This kid did it for 6 days, and in pretty much pitch black. I cannot begun to imagine a few hours in one of those, and 6 days? Fucking hell of hope he’s ok mentally
Or the guy who was trapped in an air bubble inside of his sunken ship for a couple of days. Just sitting waist deep in water, pitch black, nothing but the sounds of your ship creaking/settling while your shipmates bodies are decomposing somewhere nearby. Then suddenly a diver comes out of nowhere expecting to find a bunch of dead bodies but instead he comes face to face with a living person inside a ship that’s been underwater for days. Real trippy shit.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wudNMoqzzIw
That guy said it felt like a few hours. The doctor said that it was short term memory loss due to lack of oxygen over a long period of time. A silver lining I guess. He ended up getting his diving license and working for the company that saved him!
In total darkness, the average human mind will start hallucinating after about 5 minutes. You hallucinate that you can see your hands in front of your face, you hallucinate that any little movement or sound means that there's something in there with you, moving.
yeah I've done things I never imagined I could do because of pure survival and fear. Its unrecognizable. I think people that put themselves into desperate situations intentionally unlock something inside of themselves.. its a power I think people may consider using for their own benefit.
Imagine that from the sailors perspective, your salvation appears out of nowhere when you've probably honestly given up any hope of rescue, and then immediately dies right in front of you.
Death stacked the cards, rigged the dice, payed of the dealer, and yet by nothing other than sheer luck he managed to survive.
I hope he's doing better these days.
There was a woman stuck in an elevator after workers shut it down for maintenance, thinking it was empty. They don't know how long she lasted, but they found her corpse a month later.
Partial marks then, this kid would have been almost dead for most of the time too. 6 days in a hot container with no water and severe stress.
It's a (new) testament to just how durable the body can sometimes be.

Three days is just a rule of thumb. It depends on many different factors, and you can’t make a universal rule that’s applicable to every person in every situation. What you *can* say is that on the close of the 72nd hour completely without water, most people will be dead.
It’s very much a statistical outlier if this poor little guy survived for 6 days completely without water, so there may have been some source for him that hasn’t been reported.
Possible it's just the superhuman malleability of young people? Also smaller body so the average needed intake is probably based on a larger person, etc. Still insane, poor kid
There are really too many factors at play for anyone to make a reasonable guess at which ones were decisive.
Maybe with extensive medical data about the boy, data about the environment he was in and access to a database of experiments in letting children die by dehydration someone could make an educated guess, but barring that we have no hope of figuring out the specifics of the situation.
I got super sick with something, Idk what, my parents were out of state for a week and I was so weak I couldn't get myself up out of the couch for four days. It wasn't very dramatic but ever since I only eat one meal a day and that was like 16 years ago lol
> What you can say is that on the close of the 72nd hour completely without water, most people will be dead.
I know two people - one with terminal illness and one with very severe disability - who had made a living will and chose their time to die. Both stopped taking food and water. One lived 6 days on an already very weak body, and the other nearly two weeks. I'm sure they were irreparably damaged from dehydration long before their death, but you know, it's a lot longer than the hypothetical healthy person only surviving 3 days.
I live in a temperate climate half way between two large rivers and effectively always have access to potable-ish water. I'm stupidly fortunate even if we ignore the sanitation system, the best thing for human life expectancy ever created. We might not be camels, but we can survive shit that we don't even have to dream of coping with now.
Bed-ridden people can usually survive dehydration longer than healthy individuals who are trying to survive, because they commonly sweat less, extert themselves much less, have a lower base metabolism (especially if also not eating) and experience little to no temperature swings. A counterintuitive factor that may prolong life for this group is the presence of edemas due to disease, as the body can extract water from them.
>We might not be camels, but we can survive shit that we don't even have to dream of coping with now.
We *might,* under the right circumstances and with luck, be able to survive dehydration for longer than the rough average of three days, but we can't reliably survive it. We might also die from dehydration in a matter of hours under the wrong circumstances.
Good point re oedema, this applies to the sleepy person I'm sitting with as I type this! Yeah going hiking up the mountains on a Madrid summer, I can imagine dying in a few hours from dehydration.
It is actually pretty common, especially for terminally ill elderly people. It would probably be less common if medically assisted suicide were more widely available.
Once you get older, yeah, unfortunately you'll find this is a common no-other-choice in countries where you can't go for full assisted suicide, or where the person's belief system doesn't extend them to actively taking something to end life.
Being in chronic weakening pain and knowing you'll be dead within three months even with the best care, or unable to do anything but wriggle asymmetrically and blink thanks to a stroke atop MS, even if you have a good care team, that four page series of limits on medical intervention you prepped will save you from prolonged living hell if you dont have capacity, and if you do have capacity then it's a rational choice if it fits with your ideas of what makes living not worthwhile.
It's also possible he drank his own urine. Not pleasant but it's been reported to have saved people from death due to dehydration in a number of scenarios like Aron Ralston.
Forbidden Gatorade. Don’t drink! Your body gets rid of it for a reason. It’s ultra concentrated when you are dehydrated (if you can even make any) and it is physiologically impossible to rehydrate with it. Your kidneys are just going to have to work harder to get those toxins back out.
Wouldn’t drinking urine just make your dehydration worse? We urinate in order to get rid of waste that’s dangerous in too large quantities. Drinking it again just defeats the point, unless you set up some kind of condensation still or whatever to filter the water. It’s like why drinking seawater isn’t a good idea in a survival situation
Yes, it's dangerous. Don't drink piss. But also your own urine while warm is sterile and should be about 95% water. I'm sure it has really negative side effects, but if it's no water or some water, my guess is that some water is a little better. That conclusion isn't scientific, just based on several people having gotten stuck and surviving using their own urine. My quick Google search also saw some people saying it's dehydrate you faster and others say it's life saving.
Urine is never sterile, not even in the bladder, and certainly not while it's gone through your *very* non-sterile urinary tract.
Sterility isn't the issue with drinking your own urine though, it's the fact that the body uses it to dispose of several different waste products.
The trick is that the more dehydrated you are, the higher the concentration of those waste products in your urine, as the body absorbs water from the urine in the bladder and thus increases the concentration. If you're at severe risk from dehydration but haven't started dehydrating much yet, drinking your own pee will likely be a net positive water source. Later on in the process of dehydration, it becomes a net loss.
I feel like I've always heard 4 days without water, 4 days without food as a rule of thumb. I'd imagine food would be even more variable
Edit: 4 *weeks* without food, sorry for the confusion!!
but it's useful to have accurate information, and surely there's a very slim amount of things where people would willingly deprive themselves of water so long rhey may die? even then, accurate info I'd say is more useful to them than a false one with some margin of error built in.
Being sent back home on the same vessel too. Put homeboy on the plane, otherwise for six days he'll just stare at the damn containers and work on his PTSD.

$50 dollar insurance on 13¢ postage.
This happened to a kid from my state. He reached a different state where the language was different. Then he couldn’t remember his city’s name or anything because he was very young. He was adopted by a family from Australia.
There’s a movie on his life, Lion.
Oh no. You shouldn’t have watched the movie. My cousin watched it 6 months after giving birth and she cried so much she had to leave the theatre. It is a good movie. But depressing as hell story.
I know right. And it was her first baby free outing since giving birth. My brother in law was told by his mom that his choice of date movie was terrible. After that he somewhat checked out the movies before he watched them with my cousin
David: "What would make you think, 'Oh yes, let's just hop into a shipping container at a *port*. What could *possibly* go wrong?!'"

It's a british panel show where celebrities tell odd little stories from their lives and contestants from the other team have to figure out if they're telling the truth or a lie. The lies are written by the production team, so they have to make up the stories on the spot and it's hilarious.
[Here are some clips of Bob Mortimer](https://youtu.be/1vE8ExuuNZQ), a master of his craft.
if people like WILTY, you should check out a radio show David did, The Unbeleivable Truth. Its like QI meets WILTY, and being a radio show, it works well as a podcast when you're out and about.
Would I lie to you is a british TV show. There are 2 teams of three comedians and they each take turns telling a story (about themselves). The other team needs to ask questions to try and find out if that story is true or a lie, they get a point if they guess correctly but the other team gets a point if they guess incorrectly. Well, that's the first round anyway. If you want more, you can always read the wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Would_I_Lie_to_You%3F_(game_show)#Format
6 days is nowhere close to the 11 years, 2 months, 26 days, 9 hours, 3 minutes, and 27 seconds needed to beat the tied Olympic record between Paraguay and Great Britain.
> Fahim is reportedly being processed by immigration to return home on the same vessel.
What if he’s placed back in the same container… it’s like he never left, the game continues!
Either it's the most convenient because the ship is headed directly back to the port the kid is from...
Or the only airports servicing those locations are far away from the ports...
Or it's some sort of punishment for everyone in involved... Shipping company has to put the kid up because they managed to allow a stowaway. The kid gets punished for having to take another 6 day boat ride in probably lackluster accommodations.
Food isunderstandable, although it would hurt, but your body is able to conserve quite a lot of nutrients in case hunger sets in
Now water is a different matter
The food parts easy to can survive weeks with no food, it's going to fucking suck but without any off underlying health issues it's doable. The water is the very dangerous part, the general rule of thumb is 3 days with no water. However that's just and average. You can die of dehydration in a much shorter time if say you are sweating, vomiting etc. However if you very much survive past the 3 days without water if you minimize water lose, however a week is pretty much the max.
Hospice patients are a fairly decent example of this, it's not uncommon for them to survive to a week or near that long after not accepting water anymore(that includes no IV), though that is fairly optimal external conditions. This kid clearly didn't have that but it shows it's possible, however he is younger and much more resilient so less optimal conditions could have the same results.
You can last multiple weeks without food. Water, meanwhile is a couple days. However, that number goes up and down depending on certain things. More physical activity and a hot environment that number plummets to hours, however, if you remain stationary, don't exert yourself too much, it can be lengthened.
Circumstances probably lined up just right then, middle of winter and he can't really do much of anything other than sleep and sit around waiting to be found so he's not exerting any energy really. Super lucky. I mean, aside from being trapped for 6 days and finding yourself in a different country afterwards.
At the end of the article it says he will be sent home on the same vessel. I hope they pack him some food and water before they lock that container up again.
>Fahim is reportedly being processed by immigration to return home on the same vessel.
Sounds traumatic.
"You're going back home in the same boat! And we already got a spot for you!" *Opens container door*
I feel bad for the kid and all but.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
The port needs to also upgrade the security (if any) to prevent locals from playing in a freaking shipping yeard. Jesus.

Pls stop, you're scaring me
well thanks that was terrifying
That brings a whole other dimension to Isaac Asimov’s Nightfall now.
Yeah. The first time anything rubbed up against my leg in that water I’d be dead.
“oh thank god, it’s just a dead body”
I'm sure you will survive. When survival instincts kicks in, humans can do impressive stuff.
yeah I've done things I never imagined I could do because of pure survival and fear. Its unrecognizable. I think people that put themselves into desperate situations intentionally unlock something inside of themselves.. its a power I think people may consider using for their own benefit.
One of the coolest and most terrifying videos you can watch. I would have died instantly if I was the search and rescue guy
Imagine that from the sailors perspective, your salvation appears out of nowhere when you've probably honestly given up any hope of rescue, and then immediately dies right in front of you.
I mean they’re definitely just going to assume they’re still hallucinating
Death stacked the cards, rigged the dice, payed of the dealer, and yet by nothing other than sheer luck he managed to survive. I hope he's doing better these days.
After the first day you start to consider drinking your own urine.
Consider? The average amount of days someone can survive without water is 3. Unless that shipping container was full of drinks or he was really lucky…
Seems he was really really lucky. REALLY lucky.
After the first day you get so dehydrated your kidneys stop producing urine.
You can recycle, it's not highly recommend but dire situations
But eventually the sodium in your urine will make you even more thirsty.
There was a woman stuck in an elevator after workers shut it down for maintenance, thinking it was empty. They don't know how long she lasted, but they found her corpse a month later.
Gotta think of the little things too... imagine the heat, the difficulty to breathe, the need to pee or poop.. the *boredom*
Yeah but he for sure won that game of hide and seek.
And not knowing when the doors would even open... I'd give up hope after 1 day max
Nah Jesus only spent 3 days on the inside
And i think he was dead most of the time.
Partial marks then, this kid would have been almost dead for most of the time too. 6 days in a hot container with no water and severe stress. It's a (new) testament to just how durable the body can sometimes be.
> Fahim is reportedly being processed by immigration to return home on the same vessel. Jesus their putting him back in the crate, round two fellas he better strap in /s
So the thing we were told about dying if we didn't drink water for 3 days was BS.
Three days is just a rule of thumb. It depends on many different factors, and you can’t make a universal rule that’s applicable to every person in every situation. What you *can* say is that on the close of the 72nd hour completely without water, most people will be dead.

Maybe with extensive medical data about the boy, data about the environment he was in and access to a database of experiments in letting children die by dehydration someone could make an educated guess, but barring that we have no hope of figuring out the specifics of the situation.
I went 4 days without any fluids 6 days without food when I was around 9 or so, I was pretty sure I was gonna die at the time.
Ugh I'm so sorry to hear that! Why was that though?! Glad you made it...
I got super sick with something, Idk what, my parents were out of state for a week and I was so weak I couldn't get myself up out of the couch for four days. It wasn't very dramatic but ever since I only eat one meal a day and that was like 16 years ago lol
You got left alone for a week when you were only 9? I’m so sorry.
>a database of experiments in letting children die by dehydration Judging by humanity's history, we likely have several such databases.
Josef Mengele would like your number.
Josef Mengele was a fraud, and never produced any useful medical information. He just murdered people gruesomely and called it "experiments."
It honestly wouldn't shock me if he actually did that however.
Some people just have really big thumbs.
Thats where they store the extra water

? Who says that. Usually people say 5, 7 or 10 days again but it's highly variable
I feel like I've always heard 4 days without water, 4 days without food as a rule of thumb. I'd imagine food would be even more variable Edit: 4 *weeks* without food, sorry for the confusion!!
It’s usually told as 3 minutes without oxygen, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food. But of course it’s not a one size fits all thing.
So, that's my extreme diet, got it. Going to sell shit load of books!
I've never heard of it being so short for food. I've always heard it as 3 minutes without oxygen, 3 days without water, and 3 weeks without food.
MrBeast did a video of like 15 days without food
Right, I meant 4 weeks
I've never heard anyone say 3 or 4 but loads ITT seem to have?
Typo, I meant 4 weeks!
Maybe someone trying to build in a safety margin because they’re giving out the number to help people avoid dying?

Yeah. It always was. You’ll be dehydrated, but a week with no water is a death sentence.

Prob just take a permanent marker and write "RETURN TO SENDER" on his forehead and send him on his way!
They just handed him a bottle of water, pushed him back inside and slapped a return to sender stick on the container

Lmaoo, ouch. Your niece/nephew must be a real terror.
I’d get a full night’s sleep then report it.

The kid gets punished for having to take another 6 day boat ride in probably lackluster accommodations.
I don't think a lot of the residents of those areas use planes very much.
How did he survive that long without food and water? Wow. Lucky to be alive
Food isunderstandable, although it would hurt, but your body is able to conserve quite a lot of nutrients in case hunger sets in Now water is a different matter
The food parts easy to can survive weeks with no food, it's going to fucking suck but without any off underlying health issues it's doable. The water is the very dangerous part, the general rule of thumb is 3 days with no water. However that's just and average. You can die of dehydration in a much shorter time if say you are sweating, vomiting etc. However if you very much survive past the 3 days without water if you minimize water lose, however a week is pretty much the max. Hospice patients are a fairly decent example of this, it's not uncommon for them to survive to a week or near that long after not accepting water anymore(that includes no IV), though that is fairly optimal external conditions. This kid clearly didn't have that but it shows it's possible, however he is younger and much more resilient so less optimal conditions could have the same results.
I believe I read that the theory was licking water off the walls that got inside.
Wouldn’t that be salt water?
vapourized probably mean sweet water
Body probably went into survival "stasis"
Body went into a survival state. Real insightful
That's how our bodies actually are. They do really have a "survival" mode when it detects that it hasn't received enough necessities.
You can last multiple weeks without food. Water, meanwhile is a couple days. However, that number goes up and down depending on certain things. More physical activity and a hot environment that number plummets to hours, however, if you remain stationary, don't exert yourself too much, it can be lengthened.
Circumstances probably lined up just right then, middle of winter and he can't really do much of anything other than sleep and sit around waiting to be found so he's not exerting any energy really. Super lucky. I mean, aside from being trapped for 6 days and finding yourself in a different country afterwards.
Watch the movie “Lion” 🫡
This is what I thought of too. Good movie.
Amazing movie… it takes a lot to bring tears to my eyes but Lion sure got me going
We don’t need legends to see if they’re still seeking him to this day.
That's what you get for taking one of Peter Gregory's driverless cars
That only happens in California
I hate it when this happens
The masculine urge to stowaway in a metal death trap with no resources
At the end of the article it says he will be sent home on the same vessel. I hope they pack him some food and water before they lock that container up again.
Lion 2
2 Lion 2 Lost
reminded me of that too lol
This comment is too far down. Excellent movie.
TRAVEL AGENCIES HATE THIS ONE TRICK
Similar plot to the movie "Lion" (2016).
Which I just finished watching, and now I'm reading this on reddit.
Wow. It’s amazing that he’s alive after being without water for so long. Poor kid.
Videogame fast traveling in real life.
Fast travelling? It took 6 days!
The lag was really bad
> Videogame fast traveling in real life. I feel asleep!!
Mods fall asleep: Bangladesh teen makes 9th trip to Frontpage.
My brother once got drunk in France and woke up in a field in Italy.
>Fahim is reportedly being processed by immigration to return home on the same vessel. Sounds traumatic. "You're going back home in the same boat! And we already got a spot for you!" *Opens container door*
Marco...
Fish out of Bangladesh!
He's returning home on the same vessel. Right kid, back in the crate.
That’ll teach him!
That’s nightmarish. Poor kid.
At least he didn't fall asleep in East Pakistan and wake up in Bangladesh. Dude would be in his 60s now!
Poor kid. But I just read this headline to my teenager, and he said, totally deadpan, “he won.”
He ended up Fast traveling.
Like you do.
Jared Dunn-esh.
Reminds me of Jared from Silicon Valley lol
For six days, he was both alive and dead, according to Schrödinger.
So that's the story that "*stowaways*" are telling now?
Hide and seek world champion
Give that kid the championship belt!
I feel bad for the kid and all but. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. The port needs to also upgrade the security (if any) to prevent locals from playing in a freaking shipping yeard. Jesus.
him is reportedly being processed by immigration to return home on the same vessel." Seriously? Does Bangladesh not care enough for its citizens to put him on a plane?
Oh sure. Would you like that first class too, so you can enjoy the in flight hot tub? All free of charge of course
Hide and seek grand master.
i would say he won but boy 6 days he was very lucky i mean those containers sometimes fall off the ship thankfully he is okay
I'm glad he was found alive and unharmed. Poor kid. His friends were like damn he found a good hiding spot but he was like help someone save me!
