User ID: 80770005 United States 09/18/2021 03:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [snip] Quoting: CitizenPerth™ Two children were reportedly found clinging to their dead mother — who had saved their lives by drinking her own urine so she could breastfeed them after their boat broke apart and they drifted at sea for days. Mariely Chacón, 40, of Venezuelan, was aboard the Thor on Sept. 3 along with her 6-year-old son, 2-year-old daughter, husband and nanny for a pleasure cruise from Higuerote to Tortuga Island in the Caribbean when disaster struck, Newsweek reported, citing Univision. During the trip to the uninhabited island, a wave struck the boat and broke its hull apart – forcing the group to spend four days adrift on a lifeboat in the blazing sun. The desperate mother decided that the only way to save her kids was by consuming her own urine, which allowed her to breastfeed them during the harrowing ordeal, according to the report. Rescuers finally discovered the survivors, who included the children – identified as Jose David and Maria Beatriz Camblor Chacon — and their nanny, Verónica Martinez, 25, who was found hunkering down in an empty icebox to escape the searing temps.

They also have a device to generate drinkable water from sea water. Too bad they didn't have that kind. Unjabbed and Off Grid |
