A big Miracle=9 people found alive after 38 days of Tsunami

NEW DELHI, India -- Nine people who survived the December 26 earthquake and tsunami in southern Asia have been rescued on a remote island off the coast of India, officials in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands said.

The five men, two women and two children were found in a forest on Great Nicobar on Wednesday, according to a police source. The survivors were hungry, weak and emaciated, the source said.

They lived by eating wild boar and coconuts, the police source said, and none appears to have any serious health problems.

The inspector leading the search party called the rescue "a miracle."



It's really a miracle to find survivors from that disaster of December 26 but it happened and to survive look what they had to eat.

This is indeed a miracle. Imagine how happy their family members will be to know they're alive! Gives me chills to know they survived and of course, so happy for them too.
