Haiti survivor saved by a Scot and a bottle of whisky

As he lay in the wreckage of the hotel, a drama unfolded of chaos, screaming and, eventually, helicopters and help. Wedged into a tiny black cavity, Exantus knew nothing of what was happening outside. "He didn't know if it was night or day," said his brother, Enso.

He held his mobile phone throughout, but it was not charged, a torment which can only be imagined. With his other hand he groped around for supplies that had been scattered around the ruined shop: crisps, sweets, soft drinks and beer. When he wanted to sleep, he took a deep draught of whisky. "By the end he had drunk a whole bottle of White Label," said Enso.

I cant even begin to imagine how many times this dude would have kicked himself for not charging his mobile... honestly, what a slap to the face.
