Hi, I'm Daphne Sanz-Marie, and today I'm going to talk to you about a really interesting survival story.

2
00:00:08,689 --> 00:00:16,910
The protagonist of this event is, as you can see in this photo, David Lava, a 67-year-old Californian man.

3
00:00:17,690 --> 00:00:26,609
One day, he was driving. Suddenly, he lost the control of his car to avoid crashing with another driver and fell down a 150-meter ravine.

4
00:00:26,609 --> 00:00:34,490
This happened in a sparsely populated area of California, 80 kilometers from Los Angeles.

5
00:00:34,490 --> 00:00:40,289
The car was totally wrecked, so it was a miracle that he survived.

6
00:00:40,289 --> 00:00:44,009
He spent the first night in his vehicle.

7
00:00:44,009 --> 00:00:48,450
The next morning he realized that there was another car near him,

8
00:00:48,450 --> 00:00:54,570
but inside it there was a corpse that seemed to have been there for a long time.

9
00:00:54,570 --> 00:01:07,469
While he was waiting for someone to find him he began to eat herbs and drink water from a stream

10
00:01:07,469 --> 00:01:19,329
and he improvised a camp in a bus. If we take a look this photo we will see David's car and the

11
00:01:19,329 --> 00:01:25,150
car near him and these two photos shows you how David survived. This is the

12
00:01:25,150 --> 00:01:34,010
stream and they come in a bus. Luckily his three adult sons realized that they

13
00:01:34,010 --> 00:01:42,530
hadn't heard from their father for a few days so they decided to call the police.

14
00:01:42,530 --> 00:01:51,609
they didn't give up until they found the cave glue to find him the last time the

15
00:01:51,609 --> 00:02:04,239
father had used his credit card was at a supermarket near that area when Lisa one

16
00:02:04,239 --> 00:02:13,180
of his doctors discovered this he she quickly called her siblings and they all

17
00:02:13,180 --> 00:02:24,539
together started the search on their own. When they were there, they started to scream

18
00:02:24,539 --> 00:02:34,939
the name of his father. Fortunately, they heard his voice asking for help. The rescue

19
00:02:34,939 --> 00:02:46,139
was soon carried out. The firefighters arrived and also an helicopter that allowed a doctor to search

20
00:02:47,099 --> 00:02:59,819
to reach the area and recognize him. Finally, David was raised and he was taken to a hospital.

21
00:02:59,819 --> 00:03:09,580
This brings me to the end of the presentation. I hope you liked this story

22
00:03:09,580 --> 00:03:15,500
and thank you so much for your attention. Bye!
