This is the incredible story of Mikhail Pichugin, aged 45, who was discovered alive after 67 days following the engine failure of a Russian trawler during a doomed whale-watching trip. Reports from local media reveal that Mikhail was found clinging to a rubber dinghy alongside the bodies of his deceased brother and nephew. A video released by East2West Media Group captures the moment he was spotted by fishermen while wearing an orange life jacket, signaling for help in the darkness. Rescuers noted his weakened state as he was brought aboard the fishing vessel Angel. Despite losing 50 kilograms, Mikhail's condition was reported as stable. Initially mistaking the inflatable boat for debris, the crew decided to investigate further and were astonished to find Mikhail. He was promptly taken to an emergency care unit at Magadan hospital, where he is being treated for dehydration and hypothermia. It was reported that Mikhail, along with his 49-year-old brother and 15-year-old nephew, had embarked on a journey to the remote Shantar Islands in early August but went missing while returning to the city of Okha on Sakhalin Island on August 9. Despite extensive search efforts by local authorities, the trio could not be located, leading to the assumption that they may have succumbed to the harsh conditions. It was revealed that the men had provisions for two weeks, warm clothing, life jackets, flares, and five gallons of water with them. The incident has been attributed to engine failure. The remarkable survival of Mikhail in the frigid waters of East Asia continues to perplex rescuers and observers alike.Fortunately, At escaped the storms without being swept away and avoided the tragic loss of his brother and nephew. Local media reports reveal that the local prosecutor's office has initiated a preliminary criminal investigation into the deaths. In addition, Mikhail could potentially be imprisoned as Russian law prohibits his boat from traveling beyond two nautical miles from the shore.
