Doctors of reddit, what made you say "how the fuck is this person still alive"?

FIL took the dinghy out with no petrol and broken petrol guage to go fishing on the other side of the island got call from him saying he is out of petrol come get him. We thought he only went round the corner but nope. He said a plane just flew over him. There was no plane in sight until a few mins later. Where the hell was he!? Finally worked out and got enough reception to send a drop point. We boogied with the full engines on the dual-hulled yatch to get there. Finally get there but cant see anything. See a massive ship one of those cruise liners. Then finally spot him, a current taking him out to the ocean and the massive boat about to crush him while he waves correctly "hi" instead of distress signal two handed wave. Boat missed him so he was ok and we finally got to him while I kept trying to keep him in my sights. Lucky lucky lucky.
