SakshiWriting History
NBC Miami said, “Turbo has fully recovered from his ordeal and actually had a chance to thank the dolphins who rescued him, although he was going into the water to do it.” The heroes of the incident remained oblivious till the time the camera was panned towards the water. However, we could not see those heroes again but this remarkable story of their intelligence is going resound in the minds of people generation after generation.
The Protectors
Dolphins have been enjoying the reputation of being the protectors of humans for ages. In 2002, an Austrailian fisherman Grant Dickson was on the verge of losing his life when a pod of dolphins came to his rescue. The incident took place when Dickson’s boat capsized and he slipped into the water. The fisherman was all alone. He remained clung to the corner of the ship in order to stay safe.
Sunk In Despair
The fisherman and his other crew member were sailing at the sea off the coast of northern Queensland on their prawn trawler when their boat suddenly upturned throwing all of them into the water. Whereas the other two members were feared to be drowned, he managed to save himself by holding a grip on the corner of a boat. The accident had caused severe injury to the fisherman that resulted in lots of bleeding. Dickson had realized by now that he was into a big trouble but had no idea of what was coming next!
Greeted By Dangerous Mate
Shortly after falling into the troublesome water, the fisherman found himself in middle of a shiver of sharks. Apparently, the smell of Dickson’s blood had invited the shiver of sharks! The sharks began circling him and were all set to tear up the fisherman when something miraculous happened!
Surprising Rescue!
As the sharks began approaching Dickson with one of them very close to him, a huge pod of dolphins crossed the way between the two. According to the fisherman, it seemed as the dolphins were trying to rescue the man and it was only because of dolphins’ intervention the sharks swam away. It all happened in a flash of second whereas just a moment before he was surrounded by the hungry sharks now he was alive with no trace of the predator around him all thanks to those altruistic pod of dolphins.
Crediting Dolphins
The thirty-six-year-old man stayed clung to the side of the dinghy for about forty hours. It was almost after two days a passing ship spotted him and eventually rescued him. He was immediately taken to the hospital where he recovered quickly. While convalescing he made the revelation about the dolphins. He made it clear that today if he is alive it is all because of the dolphins. The man also mentioned about his crew members who got lost in the sea. With 18 aircraft the rescue team covered 2,000 square nautical miles but failed to spot the missing crew members!
