Shipwrecked Man Makes Land After 16 Months Adrift

Telegraph Media Group aired a news story about a shipwrecked man who washed up to a remote Pacific atoll after spending 16 months adrift. He floated up to 8,000 miles from Mexico and survived by eating turtles, birds, fish and drinking turtle blood.

It sounds like a rushed news report because the guy is still stranded on the island. The government only has one plane that can land at Ebon and it is currently down for maintenance. Officials are considering sending a boat to pick up the castaway. A boat to pick up a cast away?

Since this report, there have been more updates on the full story.
