Man Rescued Alive After Spending 2 Months Adrift Off Siberian Coast
A Russian man was rescued alive on Monday, October 14, after spending almost 10 weeks adrift on a boat off the Siberian Coast in the Sea of Okhotsk, the Far Eastern Transport Prosecutor’s Office said.Russian authorities originally reported the “disappearance of a group of people traveling on a small-sized vessel” on August 12.They said that two men and the son of one of them, a 15-year-old, had departed on a whale-watching trip on August 9 from Cape Perovsky, in Russia’s far eastern region, on a catamaran-type boat.Their destination was Okha, further up north, but communication with them was lost and search and rescue operations were launched.Then on October 14, the Far Eastern Transport Prosecutor’s Office reported that the vessel had been discovered by fishermen near the village of Ust-Khairyuzovo, and that one man was found alive.The other man and his son had died, Russian authorities said.Footage released by the Far Eastern Transport Prosecutor’s Office shows the survivor gesticulating from the boat.Russian media said that the survivor, a 46-year-old man, was in serious but stable condition and was being treated at a hospital.News outlet KP-Irkutsk said that the two people who died were the brother and nephew of the 46-year-old-man, who kept their bodies on the boat with him for the whole period he was missing.Russian authorities haven’t disclosed what caused the boat to get lost at sea.

Police swoop on McDonald's after staff mistake man with facial palsy for a drunk
A dad with facial palsy says he was made to feel like a criminal after McDonald's staff called police on him - because they thought he was drunk. Craig Brown, 46, was left stunned when an 'overwhelming' number of police vans swooped at the drive-thru as he waited almost an hour for food. He had paid for two chicken mayo sandwiches, a burger and three hot chocolates when six officers ordered him from his car at around 1am last Sunday (6/10). Workers at the fast food branch in Blackpole, Worcester, had called police believing the dad-of-five was drunk and had been smoking cannabis. But tests confirmed he was completely sober and then - to add insult to injury - McDonald's handed him his food which was now stone cold. A McDonald’s spokesperson said: “At McDonald’s, we are committed to being a responsible neighbour and contributing to the safety and well-being of the communities we serve. "It appears that in this instance, although our team’s intentions were well-meaning, their judgment was incorrect, and for that we would like to apologise to the customer.
