Here's an interesting perspective (in the article below) on the single survivor of the boating accident in Florida, that has probably claimed the lives of the three other passengers.

News reporters are calling the survivor's story a "Miracle". But others are saying it's not a miracle, and that there is an important lesson in survival that the media should be picking up on, and taking advantage of promoting it as an educational opportunity in the effects of hypothermia, for everyone who spends any time in or around water.

A good read:

I have to agree he was smart to stay out of the water. I do have one thought though. I wonder how much alcohol had to do with the wreck they incurred on thier boat? To much partying maybe? Guess we will never know.
