That's the headline. My first thought is to wonder if it was one of those "stories" that gets you to look at advertisements.
It turns out to be an actual news story from yesterday with the introduction "Yes, it's quite an incredible story!"
That's because a woman was swept out to sea at a beach in Japan and found alive 37 hours later, having drifted more than 50 miles in the Pacific Ocean.
How did she survive? Did she float? Did she swim all that time? I think she had a floatation device on - "a swim ring".
She was spotted by a cargo ship and rescued by the crew rather than the coast guard. I appreciate that a cargo ship would be a "life-saving" moment, but to me the vast size of a cargo ship would scare me, On the other hand, it might be that the ocean waves would scare me more - they were 6.5 feet high. Two of the crew members jumped into the water and tied a rope around her and then pulled her up to the tanker.
The dangers of being out there that long? Heat stroke in the day, hypothermia at night, and being hit by a ship in the dark. So a headline that is circling around the globe celebrating an "incredible story".
Aren't these great colours in this water reflection? It was at the Nathan Phillips Square a few years ago. It is the TO Sign reflecting in the water pool. Here's what you can do in Photoshop with this kind of image - lots of fun.
