Read the book Unbroken last year. A man of great endurance!
To survive a ditching in a B-24 in the Pacific, then 47 days in an open dinghy with only the food and water they could scavenge via luck and the elements of nature including many shark attacks. Then on reaching land, captured by the Japanese, tortured and practically starved for two years in various prison camps.
Quite an amazing man. RIP.
Looking forward to the film!
