Extreme Escape! Disabled man in Tonga was swept away by the tsunami and survived swimming for 27 hours

On January 20, West Time, according to the New York Post, a 57-year-old disabled man in Tonga was hailed as a "real-life water walker". The man reportedly survived swimming for about 27 hours after being swept into the sea by the waves.

Lisala Folau reportedly said he was painting his house on the night of the eruption when his brother reminded him that a tsunami would occur after the eruption. Soon the waves rushed into his house, when his brother and niece came to his aid.

"When a bigger wave came, we ran to the other side of the house and I estimated the wave was at least 6 metres high," Flau said. ”

"I'm disabled and I can't walk normally. When I could walk, I believed babies were walking faster than I was," he added, "and we hid on the east side of the house, and the waves came from the west, so we dodged the waves." ”

Frou said he and his niece climbed a tree to escape the waves, while his brother ran to cry out for help. Just as he was descending the tree, another great wave struck, and he and his niece Elisiva were swept into the sea because they had nothing to catch.

Frou recalls: "We were floating on the sea all the time, just shouting at each other. It was dark and we couldn't see each other. Soon I couldn't hear my niece's cries, but I could hear my son calling. However, he decided not to answer his son's question.

"The truth is that a son cannot abandon his father. For me, as a father, I chose to remain silent because if I answered him, he would jump in and save me. But I understand the gravity of the situation, and I think that if the worst comes, I will be the only one who will be unlucky. I was just floating, being slapped by the constant waves. ”

A few hours later, when Folau saw a police boat, he waved at it with a rag, but the people on board did not see him. When the ship sailed back, they missed Folau again. Frou continued swimming until a few hours later he reached the island of Polo.

"I was convinced I could get to Methorpe and swim almost 5 miles to get there," Flau said. "Methop is referring to a small village on the island of Tongatapu. Finally, he hitched a ride with a passerby driver.

Wonderful descriptions of Frou's survival experiences went viral on the Internet. "The real-life Aquaman," one Facebook user wrote. "He was a legend," another man wrote.

It is reported that the undersea volcano of Tonga erupted on the 15th, taking at least 3 lives so far, and the tsunami set off swept through the entire territory of Tonga, damaging villages, resorts and many buildings.
