Trapped, under a collapsed building, with very little room to move around and no food or water. What thoughts would go through your mind?

Quote :

"Port-au-Prince, Haiti (CNN) -- French rescue workers pulled a 24-year-old man alive from the rubble of a hotel in Haiti on Saturday, 11 days after an earthquake devastated much of the country. Wismond Jean-Pierre, who had no visible injuries but was severely dehydrated, was immediately loaded into an ambulance and taken to a hospital for treatment. Lt. Col. Christophe Renou, a rescuer with the French team, called the three-hour effort "a miracle" as he was briefly overcome with emotion. Other members of the team -- assisted by American and Greek workers -- were seen weeping with joy following the rescue. "This is God," Frank Louvier, the chief of the French rescue team, said as he pointed to the sky. The man's brothers said they reported hearing tapping from within the ruins of the Hotel Napoli Inn for several days but struggled to get authorities to the scene. A Greek journalist said he alerted Greek rescue workers after hearing the tapping for himself. His brother said Jean-Pierre was a clerk at a store in the hotel. He said Jean-Pierre searched in the dark and found a soda, taking little sips at a time during the 11 days he was trapped. Renou said Jean-Pierre was found in a pocket in the rubble and was able to move all of his extremities. A doctor who examined him said Jean-Pierre was protected by a desk. Renou said Jean-Pierre did not say much when he was pulled out but indicated that there were three or four people around him when the building collapsed. However, Jean-Pierre told rescuers he had not heard any sounds around him for a couple of days. Workers were going into the rubble with radar equipment to check for any other possible survivors."

Think of all the things you have done for the last 11 days, then imagine what it would be like to be the guy (the same age as many of us) under a desk, under a collapsed hotel, in complete dark, with nothing but one soda.

That's some crazy shit to think about. Probably could make a movie out of everything that went through his mind.

1/23/2010 11:26:01 PM

there was an interview on npr today with a music teacher who was trapped for a while, he recited concertos in his head to burn the time.

1/24/2010 2:46:01 AM

That video is actually the dude climbing out.

1/24/2010 9:48:54 AM

i would come up with some sort of game to play, like see how times i could blink my eyes in a minute, then try to break that record

1/24/2010 10:06:18 AM

Upon viewing said video, masturbation would probably have not been possible.

1/24/2010 10:13:33 AM

once my blackberry died I would probably just lay there.

1/24/2010 10:15:46 AM

^true.... I think i'd pull out my epipen, give myself the shot and the crawl out of that bitch

1/24/2010 10:16:52 AM

Think about what caused the country's inability to have building codes to lessen the damage caused by an earthquake or just sleep.

1/24/2010 10:26:46 AM

Before my blackberry died I would make a thread on TWW and talk to you guys. I would also post my general location just in case you all wanted to organize a search.

1/24/2010 10:45:44 AM

after freaking out for a bit, recall the teachings of Pai Mei and punch my way out

1/24/2010 11:02:35 AM

i'd probably cry

1/24/2010 11:18:50 AM

probably go through a spiritual transformation after I'd accepted that I was going to die then if I did get rescued apply my efforts to getting good building standards in my country

1/24/2010 11:24:43 AM

in all likelihood you'd apply your efforts to getting food

1/24/2010 11:39:20 AM

I bet if I made a thread from beneath a pile of rubble no one would organize a search party. There would be four or five posts pointing out all the spelling and typographical errors, and a few that said "k" then the thread would probably be on page 4 within a day or so after my phone died.
