Four days without water can kill.
“Four days without water can kill.”
Sure it can. And people have gone longer in worse conditions and survived. A 97 year old woman survived 8 days without water or food during the 2004 earthquake in Iran. How many people have we read about that survived at sea for a week, just drinking their own urine?
We hear and read human interest stories like this all the time and we admire their courage. This is another one of those stories.
I admire the kids courage. What I don’t admire is the attorney who is going to turn this kid into Bobby Sands.
You are correct. Yes it can. A person is in serious trouble at 72 hours without water and is on the knife edge of survival after that. Even if they don’t die, serious long-term effects can ensue.
