Top 10 most Amazing Survival Stories

We are presenting you with 10 amazing survival stories. One is even stranger than the other and even though the top 8 are humans, we kick things of with a chicken and a dog!

10. Mike the Headless Chicken

In september 1945 farmer Loyd Olsen tried to chop of a chicken’s head to have it for supper that evening. Loyd missed the jugular vein and even though he chopped of the chicken’s head got chopped of. It managed to survive another 18 months somehow. Because many people didn’t believe the story, Loyd took the chicken to the University of Utaz where the story was confirmed…

9. Sophie Tucker

A dog with a last name is special enough but this dog has a more impressive claim to fame. The dog fell of the family yacht in november 2008. She swam for 5 miles to the closest island and learned to hunt local wildlife until eventually her family tracked her down.

8. Joe Simpson

The first human on the list. Joe simpson was on a mountain climbing expedition in the Peruvian Ades when he fell and broke his leg. His climbing partner attached himself to Joe to be able to get Joe down the mountain and back to basecamp faster. At some point Joe slipped again down an overhanging ice face. It was impossible for his partner to determine if Joe was alive still and eventually he decided to cut the rope. Joe landed on an icebridge, many yards below. But despite being dehydrated and suffering from hypothermia, Joe managed to crawl his way back up and got to back to base camp just as Simon and his other climbing partners were getting ready to leave.

7. Wenseslao Moguel

Wenseslao Moguel, pictured on the right, was captured during the Mexican revolution in 1915. He was sentenced to dead by firing squad. He was shot 8 times by the firing squad and after that he was shot one more time. This time from close range and in the head. Wenseslao feinted dead until the shooters left and then he escaped. As you can see in the photo he didn’t get away unharmed but it’s amazing enough that he survived!

6. Halfy

Carlos Rodriguez crashed his car stoned out of his mind. He got thrown out of his vehicle, left most of his head behind on the pavement and managed to survive somehow. Carlos is functioning well and despite the fact that he has a bit of a different appearance than he had before is still living a happy life…
