:
Mike-Father of 2. turkish commando
Mark-Child. 12 years old. playful
Matthew-Child. 10 years old. quiet. think of others before he thinks for himself.
Friday may 16 10pm okto I Shld'nt be alive.
They went for skiing at one snow mountain. there was a snow chalet.(how do i call it?)(those hotel at snow mountains. got equipment to ski and got the hanging thing?can seat ppl see scenery de then travel through 1 mountain to other that kind.)mark wanted to ski with his friends and was told to meet at the bus which will bring them back home. So, mike and matthew went to ski.they skiied and suddenly,there was a blizzard. they wanted to get back to the chalet but the blizzard made their visions fuzzy.they took the long route and instead of heading back, they wanted to circle the mountain.Matthew was quite clumsy and fell a few times.after 7 hours of grueling walk and overcoming the foggy view, matthew could not go on.His father, the commando, had extensive survival training and knew wat to do. he pluck a few branches and made a cave with its support on the tree. mike knew they could not sleep on the snow as it will drop their temperatures hysterically?crazily?so he laid lots of leaves on the bed of the snow. they slept there for a day.
Day 2
Mike rose early to look for things which could help them. he found a cave just upfront of them.he quickly brought matthew to it.there was a stream and mike used his boots to store water and drink it to prevent them from getting dehydrated. mike used his skis to mark and 'X' on the top of the cave to let rescuers rescue them when they saw the international distress code,'X'.they saw their legs starting to become waxy. that was the signs of 1st stage hypothermia.(a dangerous low temperature to the body.)
Day 3
Every half and hour, mike will warm matthew's leg and thought wat he could do to get help. He heard black hawk helicopters but they were blind.they could not see them.
Day 4
Their hypothermia was getting worse by the minute. their stamina was deterioated by the second. Mike desperately needs a plan.
Day 5
Mike knew if he could climb the cliff infront of him, he would get a better look of where is safety.but, he was not prepared to leave matthew alone.yet.
Day 6
Matthew was starting to think wild.he thought they would die here. after a long period of comforting, mike went to the other cliff while matthew,stayed as he was at the 3rd stage of hypothermia. unmobility.Mike also was starting to have the 3rd stage, but early. he went up to the cliff.He saw a group of houses but not the chalet.He had a debate. What if there was no ppl? What if i could not make it there and died halfway through? What if i left matthew here? will he die?He went back to discuss with matthew. Matthew said,actually, you should go.this is a last chance of getting rescued. Mike left one of his sweaters with matthew and set off.
Day 7
Mike set off and reached the village. it was deserted. he bang the doors to open it and found 1 matchstick and a bottle of kerosene. that was his last chance. he must get it right. he flicked the matchstick but to no avail. his only hope was dashed.he thought. Wat was i thinking? i left matthew behind for this stupid matchstick?
Day 8
He woke up in the morning and he was also immobolised.he found some pans and he crawled to the door , waiting for a miracle. Miracle do exist. a truck clearing the woods drove near him and mike tried his all best to bang the pots and pants. luckily, the truck stopped and rescued him. he brought him inside the house for treatment while people flowed in. he told them his child was still up there, so they gave thier best to look for matthew. they found him and brought him to safety.
Both of them had 1 of their toes excuted but a toes for a life? it was worth it.
It was a wonderful show.
k bye bye buu:!
