A 30-year-old Utah resident was found after spending 20 days in the snow. He must have managed after his cottage burned down. Rescue workers finally found him alive. A real miracle.
The emergency services filmed their intervention. In the images, we see an individual waving his arms to signal his presence. In the snow, a huge SOS was drawn. This miracle has survived very cold temperatures: -30 ° on certain days. One night in December, his chalet caught fire. Everything was destroyed. “At that time, I was lying in the snow for a while, says Tyson Steele, survivor. It was cold. I didn’t have socks in my boots. And I was just wearing pajamas and a t-shirt. ”
An igloo, then a makeshift shelter
The first two nights, he slept in a sort of igloo that he built. Then, when the fire was out, he collected tarpaulins and wood to create a shelter. He survived on food rations, not all to his liking. “Some pineapples, quotes the survivor. I’m allergic, but I only had that to eat.
His mobile no longer worked. Its nearest neighbor was 32km away. He spent most of his days sleeping hoping. “Fortunately my rifle bullets exploded in the fire because I could have been tempted, he admits. I was like ‘I won’t survive’. It’s a thought we have almost every day, especially on particularly cold nights. ”
The story ends well. Tyson plans to return to Alaska and rebuild a shelter. “I’ll build two this time, in case one catches fire “, he jokes.
