Fisherman survives 11 days adrift in freezer

A Brazilian fisherman who survived adrift by floating inside a freezer for 11 days has spoken about his experience. “I couldn't take it anymore. One more day and I would die inside that freezer," Romualdo Macedo Rodrigues told Record TV.

Rodrigues left the Brazilian city of Oiapoque, in Amapá state, for what was supposed to be a three-day fishing trip in early August.His boat, however, had cracks and quickly filled with water, according to reports.Macedo then had the idea to use the freezer as a floating device, where he stayed for 11 days until a group of fishermen found him, some 400 kilometers off Suriname's coast.He is said to have survived despite apparently having no food or water.
