I'm a survivor (What?) I'm not gon' give up (What?) I'm not gon' stop (What?)I'm gon' work harder - Video

Everybody is talking about the incredible story of Vishwash kumar Ramesh surviving the Air India crash. Sole survivors of airplane crashes are not as rare as you would think. 17 year-old Juliane Koepcke’s (cop-ka) plane was struck by lightning and she fell 3 kms strapped to her seat and survived. 22-year-old flight attendant Vesna Vulovic’s plane was the target of a briefcase bomb and she fell ten kms pinned to the fuselage by a food cart. She hit a snowy mountain at just the right angle and survived. Bahia Bakari (buy-ya) was 12-years-old when her plane crashed into the Indian Ocean. She clung to the wreckage for 11 hours until she was saved. What makes Ramesh’s survival so extraordinary is the sheer devastation of the crash, the explosion, the huge death toll, and the fact he was able to walk away from it with minor injuries.

It’s a little confusing so I’m going to run through it quickly like a zombie. The first movie, 28 Days Later is one of the best zombie movies of all time. It was directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland. The second movie is 28 Weeks Later and the first fifteen minutes are directed by Boyle, brilliant and terrifying, but he was too busy to direct the whole film, so the rest of the movie bites, no Boyle or Garland. The third movie is 28 Years Later and returns to the Boyle and Garland magic. It is part of a trilogy. No, not the trilogy of days, weeks, years. A new trilogy starting with 28 years later. It will be based on 28 Days later, and completely ignore 28 weeks Later. The second in the new trilogy will be called 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple and sees the return of Cillian Murphy. Boyle is not directing but Garland wrote it, so we will see. Finally, the third movie will be directed by Boyle and written by Garland. No Name for it yet but I would like to suggest 28 Decades Later.

A letter sent from aboard the Titanic two days before it sank has just been sold for 400,000 dollars. The letter was sent by Colonel Archibald Gracie, who actually survived the Titanic disaster by gripping onto a railing, sound familiar. Sadly he died only eight months after the Titanic sank. His doctors said he never recovered from the shock. In that letter he sent before the crash he wrote “It is a fine ship but I shall await my journey’s end before I pass judgement on her.” Here is his Yelp review after being rescued, 04/16/1912 I wish I could give zero stars but the lowest Yelp will let me put is one. Reckless driving, not enough lifeboats, and the water was freezing. I will not be traveling with White Star again.

Here are three incredible people that fought to survive. First, Michelina Lewandowska, who was tasered by her boyfriend, put into a cardboard box and buried alive. Michelina was able to cut her way out of the box using her diamond engagement ring. Second, we have James Grimes, who after winning an air guitar contest on his cruise ship fell overboard and had to tread water for 18 hours. Finally he was rescued after he took off his boxer shorts and waved them so the search helicopter could see him. Sadly, the air guitar was not recovered. Lastly we have Harrison Okene (O’Kenny), who was sitting on the toilet when a freak wave hit his tugboat and turned it upside down. It sank 100 feet to the bottom in minutes. The rest of the crew tried to make it out of the hatchway and all died, Harrison stayed and was able to find an air pocket in the bathroom. He remained in this tiny space for three days until divers heard him knocking on the haul and investigated. Harrison is now a diver.


It is the 50th season of Survivor, yes it has been on for 25 years. The most interesting contestant in the new season is writer and Director Mike White. Sure he was on the David and Goliath season back in 2018 but since then he has created the wildly successful show The White Lotus, why is he starving himself for a million bucks. White claims that he is so busy this is the only way he can get a vacation, but I think he is doing more research and casting for season four of his show. White has put many former survivor teammates in The White Lotus. Alec Merlino played Hutch the bartender in season one. Angelina Keeley and Kara Kay were in season two. Natalie Cole, Carl Boudreaux, and, blink and you’ll miss him, Christian Hubicki, were in season three. For season four I’m guessing Ozzy, who now has an OnlyFans, cast as a sexy lifeguard.
