A Brave Story of 8 years old boy who was survived from South Asian Tsunami 10 years ago, floating on the ocean for 3 weeks alone. Martunis was 8 when he was found alive, stranded in a swampy area near the beach, 21 days after a giant tsunami hit and devastated Indonesia’s northern province Aceh on Dec. 26, 2004 He clung to a school chair, then a mattress, then a big log and finally a sofa as he was pulled into the ocean and then deposited in the swamp by the returning waves. Martunis’ mother and two sisters were among those missing, caught in the tsunami in front of his eyes. For 21 days, surrounded by bodies, Martunis, who could not swim, survived on packs of instant noodles, bread, soft drinks and bottled water washed out to sea and floating around him. His survival story made him famous, not only because of his nearly unbelievable experience, but also because he was wearing a fake Portugal national soccer shirt. Cristiano Ronaldo: I met brave Martunis who survived the South Asian #tsunami 10 years ago.
