Great Story!!! True tale of survival.

Hope this dude gets his own chapter in the Chicken Soup For The Soul books =)

While most people can't survive that long without water. It doesn't mean there are not exceptions to the rule.

As for this person keeping him alive, emaciated, thirsty, and delierious, it could be his mind playing tricks. Who knows.

If he is trapped, he is not moving. There may be no wind. I don't know what the temperature is. IT is conceivable that with little motion and the right temps, he could hang on that long.

He could have not been trapped during the first earth quake and only returned to the store where he worked inorder to loot rice from the store by digging through the rubble and became trapped when the rubble shifted and pinned him inside weeks later after the quake.
