An accident helped a man to survive, such coincidences are extremely rare.
The family with children lost a large inflatable ball on the beach. A week later, the boys’ mother watched the TV and found out that their ball swam as much as 80 miles and saved the man in the open sea for 18 hours.
In July, a tourist from Macedonia Ivan Drago rested on the coast of Cassandra Island in Greece.
A strong wave took him to the sea. The man remained on the water, but could not overcome the tide.
Soon Ivan was in the open sea. Eyewitnesses reported to rescuers.
At some point, a colored inflatable ball swam past.
“She was half blown away, but still helped me hold out these difficult 18 hours on the water,” said Ivan the press later.
The missing Macedonian was found by the coastal guard.
The story of this was widely covered by local journalists. So her mother of boys who lost the ball on the island of Lemnos saw her on TV. That is, 80 miles from the place of salvation of a tourist.
It seems that he was taken to the right place with a strong current.
The woman called the TV channel and said that she recognized the toy: her children, 11-year-old Tryphon and six-year-old Thanos, accidentally missed the ball and are very glad that they could help the stranger in such a strange business. And an unpleasant situation.
A small accident helped the man withstand. Such coincidences, of course, are extremely rare.
