British Sailor Tony Bullimore's Incredible Survival After Capsizing in the Southern Ocean

Credited from: BBC

  • In January 1997, British sailor Tony Bullimore survived for four days in his upturned yacht, the Exide Challenger, after a violent storm in the Southern Ocean.
  • The keel of the yacht snapped, causing it to flip over rapidly, leaving Bullimore trapped inside with freezing water flooding in through the broken window.
  • Despite facing severe conditions, including hypothermia and rising seawater, Bullimore maintained his composure and rationed his limited supplies.
  • His distress signal was eventually picked up, leading to an intensive search-and-rescue operation that culminated in his rescue on 9 January.
  • Though he lost part of his finger and suffered from hypothermia, Bullimore credited the real heroes as those who rescued him, humbly preferring to consider himself lucky.
