The HORRIFYING Story of Poon Lim

Hey everyone! I know this one is a little shorter than usual, but it didn't fit with any of my other compilation videos very well. It's also an insane story that I think deserved to be a standalone. In any case, have a great weekend!

this is the same plot (like to a T) of “Adrift: 76 days lost at sea”

Ive got the poon lim in my hanes

Wow I'm so glad he survived this horror

If you want the complete story, you can read the book “Sole Survivor” by Ruthanne Lum McCunn. A lesson in resilience for sure. Enjoyed the video!

Naming your son poon Lin was the start of the problem. Ahahah

Really this could just be all made up. It's just a bunch of pictures, a slide-show.

I'm just learning about the decoys. How amazing and how tragic. Fascinating though. 😢❤

The Suriname coast is 2800 miles from NYC... what else did you get wrong and never bothered to check ??

Where did the boat come from

Horrible situation to be in. Fortunately the military didn't use him as target practice!

Suriname to NYC is about 2,775 miles by sea, not 1,500 as you say...

Imagine finding poon out at sea like that, what a lucky break

This story confirms that there were plenty of a&*holes fighting in the war.

Hell of a story.

Can you imagine the mental strength you need to have to survive this ordeal ? This is the best example on how to keep getting hope in the worse situation.

a fisherman lost at sea has some useful skills

He spent the rest of his life in Brooklyn. So he would have been better off if he had drowned in the first place.

There’s nothing “horrifying” about the way this story was described

Mr.poon is a absolute legend

I cant even imagine being fully capable of rescuing another human being from a potentially cetain death & then choosing not to because of their race or nationalitity. WTF???

3 Brazilian fisherman?
How many is a Brazilian and where were they from?

Not today Atlantic Ocean! This guy was born for this. Raised as a fisherman and to do agriculture his whole life before. 133 days of eating fish day after day...but he is a freaking survivor. This story made me happy 😀
Can you imagine your 132nd pitch black night and how destitute you'd feel. Then how completely happy as possible the next day.

133 days in the sea 🌊 you don't think 🤔 is a little impossible to believe, ok I can understand 1 or 2 weeks but 133 days HAHAHAHAHAHA!! YEAH RIGHT

Read the book.

A Chinamans chance indeed

God put that raft there for him

Very well presented good narrator.

His parents left china to become fisherman so their kids didnt have to fight in the war.only for their son to not want to be a fisherman and fight in the war.only to survive as a castaway because of his fishing skills taught to him by his family.the irony.lollll

Only lost 20lbs in five months at sea? Remarkable feat of survival.

Where did this random raft come from? Why did it have so much fresh water on it?

133 days at sea on a raft alone by himself, I think it still is an unbroken record. Salute to Mr. Lim. 😃😎

Wait, he couldn't even tell them his name without a translator? That's weird.....

poon tang, his brother is another legend

I'm skeptical on how much of Lim's story is based upon truth or under hallucination.

How the fuck was there a prepared life raft there lol

Too much "33" from the 33⁰ liars around. (way too obvious...)

not the first or last bad story about poon

Pray for Poon

Dont need his personal history since birth

Lol no way thats his name 😂

Imagine joining another country's navy and then moaning about not having the best job!! Ffs! What did he expect. British wouldn't of even been allowed in there country nevermind join there navy. Its weird British go to other countries and are so polite and dont just expect to be given money and be housed but when people come here they get better chances then the British.

Oh, this guy also had a van stall and he also had a Beretta and he also had a nice Buddha knife. Who knows what else he had on his adventure. This is so fucking sickening. It makes me sick to my stomach he’s got hooks he’s got Line) he’s got all this stuff was he ready for a camping trip? Maybe he wasn’t going to warm it he’s going on a camping trip

What a bullshit story yeah I believe in this and I believe there’s good Jews on this planet too

What is the longest lost at sea survival?

438 days

José Salvador Alvarenga holds the record for the longest solo survival at sea. He was adrift for 438 days, and traveled over 6,700 miles. Alvarenga is a fisherman, and on November 17, 2012, he set sail from the fishing village of Costa Azul in Mexico.Jul 9, 2021

I knew a guy named Poon Tang. He got lost in a cave and has never returned.

I would never attach my account to such a video 🫣👎
