In Bad Shape
The boys were not looking good, according to the ship that saved them. “They looked very bad — bones protruding from underneath the skin, but mentally strong, strong as an ox,” Tai Fredricsen said. The boat was not one to be in such harsh waters, he claims. “It’s not something you go in the open ocean with,” he told CNN, saying that the boat was 240 miles northeast of Fiji. They were rescued and brought onto the ship, immediately given first aid for their horribly burned skin. They were also given small, small amounts of fluids until they could begin to eat small bits of fruits and bread. They were already making a recovery!
