A Pilot Survived a Plane Crash And 15 Hours Among Hungry Sharks

Amazing stories about people who’ve survived a plane crash are also extremely rare. But what if I tell you that one man not only stayed alive after his plane dropped into the ocean, but also managed to fend off hungry sharks for a whopping 15 hours until he was rescued? It happened in 1986, and this man's name was Walter Wyatt, Jr.

The thirty-seven-year-old flight engineer was flying from Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, to Miami on a rainy December day. He was the only person on board his twin-engine Beechcraft, but the plane got lost because of bad weather and lack of navigation equipment. What happened next is truly a miracle.
