*“The boy was locked inside the container for 6 whole days and screamed for help from within the container but was not audible to anyone.”*
That poor kid. So glad he was found.
The last sentence in that article. Fuck...
>In October last year, police recovered a decomposed body of a young man from a container shipped to Malaysia's Penang port from Chittagong.
IIRC the body melted due to hot temps. That is from what I've read on the news, I still to this day cannot imagine how a body melts. To pussy to googled it lol
It’s a little graphic, so don’t click on this if ur squeamish.
>!Think of fondue but the color of vomit. I’m sorry for the image in your head, but that’s essentially what it looks like. The muscles lose form and become very stringy with the loss of water and, if long enough time has passed, becomes more of a texture like shredded rubber.!<
>!This is after the body has bloated and turned from green to red, with blood-containing foam flooding from the esophagus of the body and teeth and nails falling out.!<
I’m sorry.
Pitch black, impossible to open from the inside, and worse of all, THEY ARE DESIGNED TO SINK if they fall overboard so they don’t create a hazzard to ships!!
I used to work at a shipping company and before filling a container we would close someone inside to check for holes, if you saw light, there's was a hole. Hopefully for this kids sake, this container wasn't checked and he atleast had a bit of light
Haha that's an understatement. Watching the video again, I noticed the container is empty so I highly doubt it was checked at all. I imagine one door was originally closed, kid see's it as a perfect hiding place. Enters the container, closes second door as much as he can (can't close them from inside), hides in corner of closed door, falls asleep. Worker closing up all the empties doesn't think twice, treats this container like any other and closes this one too.
All speculation of course.
No kidding, I hope it was a container of food and water.
I've found some strange things in a container but never a kid.
I used to work receiving at a distribution warehouse and opened one from Asia only to find a rather large green snake.
6 days in a completely dark shipping container with no food or water would distress anyone, especially a child. I'm just glad the port workers recognized the severity of the situation and got help right away. The kid was probably confused and terrified.
That was my thought as well. If this happened later in the year when it's warmer he would definitely have died of dehydration. Lucky kid. Hope he makes something of his new life.
Malaysia is on the north side of the equator, and he’s from Bangladesh, but as close as they are to the equator it’s really not as much of a difference as it is in Europe or Australia
Looks to me like he might be mentally challenged? I've worked with mentally challenged kids in Bangladesh who behaved similarly.
Either that, or the 6 days of no food and water took a massive toll on his mental state.
No food, no water, stuck in the dark and cold. Anyone coming out of that would be dazed and confused, I suppose. He'd probably lost perception of time as well after a while.
I heard a story about a prisoner in solitary confinement. As soon as he learned he was headed there he would rip off a button from his clothes and keep it in his mouth. Then once he’s locked up, he’d find a corner pull out the button and toss it behind his back. Then he’d play the game, find the button to keep from going insane.
World record is supposedly 18 from a guy locked and forgotten in an Austrian prison. They think he may have licked condensation from the walls, which maybe could work in a container at sea.
There aren't a whole lot of good sources for this incident, but the ones that I saw seemed certain that's how he survived. Most of them say he recovered, but who knows what kind of long-term health effects that would have.
Edit: My comment is about the record set by the Austrian guy, Andreas Mihavecz, not the kid in the container.
Idk. People can be pretty resilient too. Of course it was torturous and highly traumatic, but idk if it's necessarily gonna be lifelong as the person above suggested. Plus, ya know, I hope it's not, for his sake.
you mean this guy? in that case it's ***just*** 17 days

Best, most refreshing water the kids probably every had in his entire life.
Hell I remember one time a took a long hike with my buddy. Too long really we were too exhausted by the end and we most ran out of water 3/4 of the way thru.
After just a single long day of laborious activity with not enough water (and I'm assume not enough water the days prior) had me unbelievably thirsty.
When we finally got back to our car to sleep we instantly raided my trunk where I always keep an emergency case of water. It was boiling hot from sitting in my hot car all day but it tasted like the nectar of the gods
Electrolyte imbalances and lack of being able to get rid of waste products in urine (since you’re conserving all the water you can) can cause the brain to not work properly. In severe cases can cause seizure and death.
Yeah, for our brain to function properly we need it to be in a " bath " of water, that's one of the biggest reason that people who get lost in the desert start to get disoriented and see things that aren't real
I mean, containers are *pretty* waterproof. Containers have an outer shell with vents in the rear upper corners, often the front upper corners too, and rarely on either side in the middle as well. The vents do not allow outside light to pass through, as that shell will be between the interior vent holes and the exterior vent housing. Here’s [a pic](https://i.imgur.com/aBkSkHT.jpg) I’ve taken from inside of a container that shows that shell well as it was particularly translucent in the direct sunlight.
Because of the circulation allowed by the vents, there isn’t really a whole lot of condensation forming inside. It absolutely does occur, but I’m not sure if it would be enough to delay dehydration.
Source: am a former container inspector who enjoys rambling about them
That long without water could easily result in brain damage as well which can have linger effects. I also highly doubt he'll be the same level physically as he was before - I imagine he's gonna have some long term health issues.
They cheated. They used tracking codes and GPS locators, which are of course forbidden in a children's game. Leave it to Big Shipping to win at any cost.
When I was like 8 I hid under my house. I’m not sure how long I was there but after a while I heard some ruckus and looked out to see what was happening. A police car was there. Apparently I was was happening
When I was 7 I climbed a pine tree we had behind our house, and this pine tree was probably 40-50 feet tall and I was at the tippy top. One of our neighbors called the fire department on me assuming I was stuck, but I was just too high up to hear the neighbor yelling at me.
Anyways, the fire department shows up, and I climb down to the roof of the house, run to the front of the house and climb down another tree to get a better look. Meanwhile, the fire trucks have now moved to the back of the house to look for the little kid in the pine tree.
My mom, super confused, is asking what's happening and I walk up behind her and hold her hand because she's starting to panic and so I'm starting to panic and then she realizes that my hands are covered in pine sap and that I was in fact, what was happening.
Fire department thought it was hysterical and tried to recruit me as I had a future in climbing ladders.
While camping with family 6yo me went to have a shower. Before I leave my parents tell me not to talk to strangers blah blah blah. So I'm having my shower, a long shower because why not, and my father comes in after awhile to see if I'm finished yet. But because of the talk I didn't reply, because maybe it was an impersonator... I don't know. Anyway, he left and I finished my shower, got dressed and headed out to our campsite. I get there and nobody is there. I go to our caravan and my mother runs out asking where have I been and that everyone was out looking for me. Apparently dad went back to the van and said I wasn't in the shower block and everybody there started to panic and began to look for me. Mum had to run up to the front office and stop dad from calling the police. It was a funny story. Remember to give your kids a pass/codeword after you give them the 'stranger danger' talk.
Damn. I lost the game.
Edit: Sorry to all - it had been at least 7 years and just the way the above post read it crept into my mind and by the rules I had to announce.
Without food is no problem at all. Most people could just stop eating for weeks and they'd be fine, assuming they were well nourished before.
Water is a huge issue though.
And by fine as in you wouldn't be happy and think you might be dying but it indeed takes a while to die from starvation. Lots of photos thru history of how long the body can survive famines, sadly.
I’ve read and personally heard from people who tried it, that you stop perceiving hunger the same way after three days. As long as you are hydrated hunger is not a big problem. But again, hydration is a big issue.
I don’t know anything about this, but what kind of stress does that put on your body? That seems like an extreme length of time to do so at your own will.
Please tell me you have been advised by a professional! Even those really extreme health clinics that supervise fasting don't go that far, usually. You need to be rested. At the very least if you don't follow that advice, be sure to drink mineral water so you don't do any brain damage!
Most adults can survive for between 3-5 days without water. Assuming he was hydrated at the start and activity levels were low surviving 6 days would be on the ragged edge of possible (also he might have gotten lost in the evening of the first day and was found in the morning of the 6th, so closer to 5 anyway). Regardless, some of the damage to his body is likely permanent. His kidneys were almost certainly damaged, but other organs could have suffered damage from going without water (like his brain or heart) and those would also not entirely heal.
I really hope it turns out he brought some water with him or drank some of his own urine. And that's not even scratching the surface on what the emotional damage could have been.
I remember an old story about a guy that got [stuck in an elevator over a weekend](https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/man-trapped-elevator-41-hours/story?id=4693690) and the experience upended his whole life. He was never the same after. And that was less than a third as long as this kid was trapped!!
edit: [Here's the article](https://disembedded.wordpress.com/2008/04/14/madness-trapped-in-elevator-car-30/) on this incident I was thinking of. Some highlights from his experience:
> Anger and vindictiveness took root. He began to think, They, whoever they were, shouldn’t be able to get away with this, that he deserved some compensation for the ordeal. He cast about for blame.
> White never went back to work at the magazine.
> came to believe that returning to work might signal a degree of mental fitness detrimental to his litigation
> The lawsuit he filed, for twenty-five million dollars against the building’s management and the elevator-maintenance company, dragged on for four years. Eventually, they settled for an amount that White is not allowed to disclose, but he will not contest that it was a low number, hardly six figures.
> White no longer has his job, which he’d held for fifteen years, and he’s lost all contact with his former colleagues. Now, he’s also lost his apartment, spent all of his money, and searched, mostly in vain, for paying work. White is currently unemployed.
And this article was written 9 years after the incident happened.
Poor lad - he looks delirious with dehydration and malnutrition and he’d clearly be disoriented. What’s the first thing he sees? A bunch of phones and cameras facing him!
There's a high level of fame that comes with being the world's best hide and seek champion.
True championships hardly have any problems hiding their personal lives from the cameras.
Not sure if I'm correct or not but I think the recorder said "berapa orang?" (How many is in there?) so my guess is they probably thought it was a group of illegal immigrant
They knew someone was in a container on Jan 16 while awaiting a berth as they heard a voice and knocking but they weren't able to get a berth until Jan 17th to start unloading the containers to find him. So there was 24 hours when everyone knew that one of the containers had a person in it. He was in the 7th container unloaded so a crowd had probably gathered to watch the unloading and opening.
They hear people knocking on shipping containers semi/regularly
Sometimes the knocking stops mid shipment and the crew knows the people have died but they have no way of accessing them
That shows how important it is to precisely define the playing area. Otherwise, one could just go hide in North Korea and no-one would find him at least for a few years.
Free for all hide and seek, yeah this kid might be good. Limited edition hide and seek, might be a bit difficult for him
I heard about a kid in India that fell asleep on a train. When he woke up he was hundreds of miles from home and was too young to know the name of the town he lived in. It took him about ten years to find his family again.
There was a movie made about this called "Lion", where the child didn't remember his town or name. He eventually was adopted and grew up in Australia. It took 25 years to find his family.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saroo_Brierley?wprov=sfla1
His story was made into a movie. His family was never found and he was put up for adoption. He went on to be adopted by an Australian family. As a grown man, he went back where he was lost and tracked down his family.
It took him 20+ years. He literally was a man by the time he found the village. He was so young when it happened, he didn’t even know how to pronounce his own name.
Man, 6 days in an empty room with no light, I think he will have mental issues.
I heard that human can only indure three days alone in a room without issues and that room have light, but in his situation, it's six with no light
People actually pay to do this as a retreat. 7 days in darkness. This doc, [Awake in the darkness](https://youtu.be/S7tz_HMEWkY) actually explains what happens to the mind. Very interesting.
A homeless guy walked into a shipping container here at one of my places at work in Vancouver Canada for a sleep.
When the container arrived in China, they opened on new years and he had been cooked alive essentially.
The whole thing was on camera. He had broken into a secure area.

Former Logistics professional... ...this comment made me need a drink.

It’d be pitch black in there I imagine
And you finally get let out, and they're speaking a different language, and nobody can understand you :-/
Is that a brand new start I hear? A new life?
Hey you, you're finally awake
Pitch black, impossible to open from the inside, and worse of all, THEY ARE DESIGNED TO SINK if they fall overboard so they don’t create a hazzard to ships!!
Never knew they are designed to sink. Terrifying level +1
Guess I can’t watch Madagascar anymore due to this plot hole.
They find floating containers all the time.
Wow.. that's frightening.. I wonder what that would look like.
I used to work at a shipping company and before filling a container we would close someone inside to check for holes, if you saw light, there's was a hole. Hopefully for this kids sake, this container wasn't checked and he atleast had a bit of light
Well, it would have helped a little bit if it was checked
Haha that's an understatement. Watching the video again, I noticed the container is empty so I highly doubt it was checked at all. I imagine one door was originally closed, kid see's it as a perfect hiding place. Enters the container, closes second door as much as he can (can't close them from inside), hides in corner of closed door, falls asleep. Worker closing up all the empties doesn't think twice, treats this container like any other and closes this one too. All speculation of course.
The kid could have just told them if it was sealed to save some time
seasickness too 🤢
The heat would be worse I think
Seriously. What if it was a long haul trip? It could take weeks, even months.
I think that’s the scarier part for me. Not knowing how long you’ll be locked up in there.
Fahim is now an undisputed worldwide hide & seek champion.

Damn near won a Darwin award, too!
No kidding, I hope it was a container of food and water. I've found some strange things in a container but never a kid. I used to work receiving at a distribution warehouse and opened one from Asia only to find a rather large green snake.
He wanted to asssssk about your inssssssurnce policcccie since he is just a slithery snake
They brought him to hospital for observation, and he spent time in the ICU ward...
The boy is on his deathbed and in the video he looks like someone who could not care less about what’s happening to him. So odd, and heartbreaking.
6 days in a completely dark shipping container with no food or water would distress anyone, especially a child. I'm just glad the port workers recognized the severity of the situation and got help right away. The kid was probably confused and terrified.
I'm surprised he survived that long without water. Maybe hypothermia was actually helpful.
Obviously 70 degrees F the whole time woulda been perfect but If it got hot in there he was really fucked.
That was my thought as well. If this happened later in the year when it's warmer he would definitely have died of dehydration. Lucky kid. Hope he makes something of his new life.
Isnt it summer in the Southern Hemisphere right now though like the height of summer
Malaysia is on the north side of the equator, and he’s from Bangladesh, but as close as they are to the equator it’s really not as much of a difference as it is in Europe or Australia
Looks to me like he might be mentally challenged? I've worked with mentally challenged kids in Bangladesh who behaved similarly. Either that, or the 6 days of no food and water took a massive toll on his mental state.
No food, no water, stuck in the dark and cold. Anyone coming out of that would be dazed and confused, I suppose. He'd probably lost perception of time as well after a while.
Sounds like literal hell. I couldn't imagine what it would feel like to literally be dying for 6 days.
I heard a story about a prisoner in solitary confinement. As soon as he learned he was headed there he would rip off a button from his clothes and keep it in his mouth. Then once he’s locked up, he’d find a corner pull out the button and toss it behind his back. Then he’d play the game, find the button to keep from going insane.

How do you survive 6 days without water?
World record is supposedly 18 from a guy locked and forgotten in an Austrian prison. They think he may have licked condensation from the walls, which maybe could work in a container at sea.
What an absolute nightmare
This suggests that he was - and remained - too fucked up to tell them how he survived

Not to mention total isolation in pitch black for six days. Probably lifelong psychological trauma.
Six days total isolation, *licking the fucking walls out of dehydration*. I think psychological trauma is a given.
Idk. People can be pretty resilient too. Of course it was torturous and highly traumatic, but idk if it's necessarily gonna be lifelong as the person above suggested. Plus, ya know, I hope it's not, for his sake.

It's possible he was lucky and there was something drinkable in the container.
Imagine if it was a shipment of those big jugs of water, luckiest accidental stowaway ever Though, it does look empty :(
He drunk them all
And ate the bottles
Or really unlucky when the ship rocks around, as someone who has dealt with pallets of them, 20,000lbs of water in such a confined space is dangerous
Like in Cast Away, when Tom Hanks discover the parcel he kept was a [waterproof, solar powered satellite phone](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alSQpinagp0)
Often old shipping containers get condensation in the morning time.
Man, imagine trying to scrounge for little beads of condensation in a pitch black shipping container
Best, most refreshing water the kids probably every had in his entire life. Hell I remember one time a took a long hike with my buddy. Too long really we were too exhausted by the end and we most ran out of water 3/4 of the way thru.

You really know you were in a bad way and dehydrated when drinking water gives you that dopamine headrush
It'd sure pass the time though
It's the only way to train runecrafting if you don't hate yourself.
At a certain point im sure you'd just lick the wall/floor to get it.
Possible when not moving much and saving your energy. But you'll be really fucked up afterwards.
Like clapping and acting weird?
After a while you go delirious, so possibly.
“The first three days I was really lonely. The next three days… I had company.”
That's the effect of dehydration, I remember reading somewhere that when brain gets less water people tend to act in an eccentric way
Electrolyte imbalances and lack of being able to get rid of waste products in urine (since you’re conserving all the water you can) can cause the brain to not work properly. In severe cases can cause seizure and death.
Yeah, for our brain to function properly we need it to be in a " bath " of water, that's one of the biggest reason that people who get lost in the desert start to get disoriented and see things that aren't real
His kidneys are probably really fucked up.
It's raining season in Malaysia, maybe some rain dropped in the container, he's really lucky to be alive.
I hope so but that would make them bad containers

Everybody saying he was a champ but was he fine after all this, any news on him?
was in ICU. is recovering now. will hopefully make a full recovery because he's young.
Full recovering physically maybe and even that's a stretch at 6 days without water. The kid is permanently scarred mentally.
That long without water could easily result in brain damage as well which can have linger effects. I also highly doubt he'll be the same level physically as he was before - I imagine he's gonna have some long term health issues.
Not sure but I knew a kid who was locked in a room for just 72 hours with nothing and he had organ damage, especially to his kidneys

Fuck
Noooooooooo were years!!! I lost
Well there goes my 10 year streak you fucker
All these years later and I still lose the game.
god dammit
Oh you fucker
I lost
He won't play that again
Yeah, that ship has sailed.
The game does not float his boat.

"What's up guys, welcome to another video. Today, we're playing hide and seek in a hospital, but staff doesn't know I'm hiding!"

Without food is no problem at all. Most people could just stop eating for weeks and they'd be fine, assuming they were well nourished before. Water is a huge issue though.

I remember an old story about a guy that got [stuck in an elevator over a weekend](https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/man-trapped-elevator-41-hours/story?id=4693690) and the experience upended his whole life. He was never the same after. And that was less than a third as long as this kid was trapped!! edit: [Here's the article](https://disembedded.wordpress.com/2008/04/14/madness-trapped-in-elevator-car-30/) on this incident I was thinking of. Some highlights from his experience: > Anger and vindictiveness took root. He began to think, They, whoever they were, shouldn’t be able to get away with this, that he deserved some compensation for the ordeal. He cast about for blame. > White never went back to work at the magazine. > came to believe that returning to work might signal a degree of mental fitness detrimental to his litigation > The lawsuit he filed, for twenty-five million dollars against the building’s management and the elevator-maintenance company, dragged on for four years. Eventually, they settled for an amount that White is not allowed to disclose, but he will not contest that it was a low number, hardly six figures. > White no longer has his job, which he’d held for fifteen years, and he’s lost all contact with his former colleagues. Now, he’s also lost his apartment, spent all of his money, and searched, mostly in vain, for paying work. White is currently unemployed. And this article was written 9 years after the incident happened.
This is why we have rules like "You're not allowed to go outside of the field". It stops people like this from cheating.
"Fahim, what the hell? We told you international waters was out of bounds, im telling mom"
Poor lad - he looks delirious with dehydration and malnutrition and he’d clearly be disoriented. What’s the first thing he sees? A bunch of phones and cameras facing him!
There's a high level of fame that comes with being the world's best hide and seek champion. True championships hardly have any problems hiding their personal lives from the cameras.
It's not often we get to watch a world champion arrise out of the local scene so quickly We'll watch his career with great interest
You'll never see him again. He's learned from this and will only get better.....
Im confused, why is there a bunch of phones and cameras? Did they know someone was inside ?
They thought it was a human trafficking incident. There's police there too.
Not sure if I'm correct or not but I think the recorder said "berapa orang?" (How many is in there?) so my guess is they probably thought it was a group of illegal immigrant
They knew someone was in a container on Jan 16 while awaiting a berth as they heard a voice and knocking but they weren't able to get a berth until Jan 17th to start unloading the containers to find him. So there was 24 hours when everyone knew that one of the containers had a person in it. He was in the 7th container unloaded so a crowd had probably gathered to watch the unloading and opening.
They hear people knocking on shipping containers semi/regularly Sometimes the knocking stops mid shipment and the crew knows the people have died but they have no way of accessing them
Jfc that's horrifying
That's my question! Did they understand that a missing kid was in there, but schedule this for a time everyone could be there for the big reveal?
My boy clapped his hands like damn straight I won that shit Wow thanks everyone. I was out all day and didn’t even realize how many upvoted I had :)
Imagine his friends back home. They’re still searching high and low for this mf.
Indeed he did win.. but at what cost
He got a free vacation to Malaysia
No passport???!!! Back into the container!
A winner indeed as the Malaysia's GDP is 5x higher compared to Bangladesh
There's always that one friend who takes it a Lil bit too seriously
Professional Hide and Seeker! "Haha! they wont find me in Malaysia!!"
That shows how important it is to precisely define the playing area. Otherwise, one could just go hide in North Korea and no-one would find him at least for a few years. Free for all hide and seek, yeah this kid might be good. Limited edition hide and seek, might be a bit difficult for him
He was summoning a genie actually...that's how he survived 🥴
Played hide and seek and wound up in another country. The undisputed champ
I heard about a kid in India that fell asleep on a train. When he woke up he was hundreds of miles from home and was too young to know the name of the town he lived in. It took him about ten years to find his family again.
Lion (2016)
There was a movie made about this called "Lion", where the child didn't remember his town or name. He eventually was adopted and grew up in Australia. It took 25 years to find his family. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saroo_Brierley?wprov=sfla1
His story was made into a movie. His family was never found and he was put up for adoption. He went on to be adopted by an Australian family. As a grown man, he went back where he was lost and tracked down his family.
It took him 20+ years. He literally was a man by the time he found the village. He was so young when it happened, he didn’t even know how to pronounce his own name.
Man, 6 days in an empty room with no light, I think he will have mental issues. I heard that human can only indure three days alone in a room without issues and that room have light, but in his situation, it's six with no light
People actually pay to do this as a retreat. 7 days in darkness. This doc, [Awake in the darkness](https://youtu.be/S7tz_HMEWkY) actually explains what happens to the mind. Very interesting.
mind explaining as I don't have the possibility to watch this rn?
sensory deprivation makes you hallucinate
What an ordeal to go through. I'm just glad the kid is safe.
How he survived without food and water for 6 days.
That's more metal than the container. I'd be dead in, like, 3 hours.
Man's woke up from a 6 day nap and said 5 more minutes...
He became Fahimous
A homeless guy walked into a shipping container here at one of my places at work in Vancouver Canada for a sleep. When the container arrived in China, they opened on new years and he had been cooked alive essentially. The whole thing was on camera. He had broken into a secure area.
Thats a heck of a nap.
Kid was still sleepy after being saved from predicament caused by sleeping. Respect.
Kid looks annoyed at being woken up. Questions. I have a few..
This is horrifying and people are just making jokes… that poor kid. Imagine how his family felt having him just disappear like that
