Alive after Two Months in a Snow Trap



Snowmobilers patrolling the forest not far from the city of Umea in the north of Sweden thought they found a wrecked car until they dug it out and saw what was in inside.


There was a car’s driver moving in the car. The man claimed that he had been trapped in the vehicle for about two months, lying in the back seat in the sleeping bag and eating nothing but snow. Police officers said they see no reason to doubt the man's words. Physicists assume that the driver went into some dormant state similar to bear hibernation and that helped him survive.
