      yeah sad, he drowned at 90 years of age when his boat capsized crossing the mouth of a river in Australia. He sounded like a good man, who sought adventure in life rather than the trappings of a priviliged and easy life that his millionaire father could have provided for him.

      @@Docastaway --- Look at the scar on the boy's leg. It was a fractured femur. Those fractures usually 'go compound' = break the skin and infect. The traditional method of healing and the boy's strength helped him survive, which is really a miracle. In the 'old days' a compound fracture of the femur would infect, become gangrenous, and kill the patient.
      So, the boys deserve high praise for remembering what they learned from their fathers and using that knowledge to help them survive collectively.
      Most of all, they were unified by friendship and faith, which informed their actions to preserve unity and maintain morale and physical health.

    I have stumbled upon the story of "The Lord of the Flies" then I got curious if something similar have happened in our history of mankind. I'm grateful to find this story, because it just proved that man is not savage contradict to what was portrayed in 'lord of the flies'. Thank you to all the survivors and rescuers, thank you for the testimonies and for sharing your experience with us, you proved that man can always survive no matter what.

      I looked for this video while reading the book "Humankind" by Dutch journalist and writer Rutger Bregman. In his book, originally titled "Most people are decent", he also wondered if there was a real life equivalent to Lord of the Flies. In the book he explains that people think that humankind is cruel and selfish (fanned by for example a novel like Lord of the Flies, a novel written by an unhappy, alcoholic teacher who had questionable teaching methods, like dividing his pupils into gangs and encouraging them to fight each other), while in real life, time and time again, people prove the opposite. Especially in hard times, people are generally kind and helpful. William Golding got a nobel prize for literature. The story of the 6 boys surviving for 15 months on a deserted island is mostly unknown.

Quite different from the book and movie, but I do realize it was not based on the Tonga boys experience.

    I read somewhere that basically they ran away from home in a boat without any navigational tools, fresh water, hardly any food, hoping to reach another country 500 miles away.

    One of the prime examples of how having a "screw school, I'm out" mentality hits you with a life long lesson you'd never forget lmao from sailing into the unknown, to dehydration, to hunting for food and growing plants and livestock...then to being rescued and then jailed 😅 ..these guys were lucky as heck though. Absolute legends

    Wow I am just learning about this story and this is my first time indulging in this beautiful story & I am just astonished of how amazing it is‼️ absolutely incredible in every way possible, those 6 boys are absolute gems & were the last generation of real men, I couldn’t imagine 6 boys of this generation getting stranded on an island they would be dead within weeks let alone days, for some reason this brought tears to my eyes 😢 & the fact they knew how to help they’re buddy who broke his leg & he winded up being okay is just amazing & the water from the tree trunk was incredible as well very bright young men I wonder how they lived the rest of their days & hope they never lost touch with one another cause being together in such moments should create unbreakable friendships that last a life time, such a beautiful story that I won’t forget 💯 how a film wasn’t made about this is beyond me 🤦🏻‍♂️ if I was a director I would make films about all these real life stories that have happened instead of people making films of nonsense 🤦🏻‍♂️
