Missing

2010 - You normally think this is a scenario of a Hollywood block-buster, but miracles happen in real life too. Three teens who have been missing in the South Pacific for 50 days - and were already eulogised in a memorial service have been found alive by a fishing boat. The boys, two 15 year old and a 14 year old, disappeared while attempting to row between two islands in the New Zealand territory of Tokelau early last month and were given up for dead after an extensive search involving the country's air force. their craft had drifted 1,300 km to a desolate part of Fiji, when the crew of a tuna fishing boat saw them frantically waving for help. The boys were dehydrated, sunburned and thin, but otherwise fine.
