In the Pacific, people were saved thanks to the SOS inscription on the sand

In the Pacific Ocean, three people were saved from a desert island thanks to the SOS inscription on the island's coast.

The men took a 42-kilometer boat trip last week from Puluwat to the Pulap Atolls in Micronesia.

The men lost their course and ran out of fuel, so they docked on the tiny uninhabited island of Lykelot. When the men did not arrive at their destination, rescuers were sent to look for them. After three hours of searching, a US Air Force plane spotted an inscription in the sand.

“Below we saw an island, an SOS sign and a boat right next to it on the beach. From there we called the Australian Navy because they had two helicopters nearby that could land on the island,” the pilot said.

Later, the helicopter successfully landed on the beach, delivering food and water and picking up the men.
