Ever heard of Miracles? Well, if not, you are about to hear one. On February 3, Lance Naik Hanamanthappa and nine of his colleagues were resting, and all of a sudden a huge wall of ice came crashing down on their post. This disaster took place so quickly that none of them had even a second to react. They were all buried under 35 feet of snow at the Siachen glacier and were declared dead.
Then something miraculous happened, when after 6 days one soul was found alive. Here is an amazing story.
Well it wasn’t anything short of a miracle when that Indian Army soldier was found alive six days after being buried under 35 feet of snow on Siachen glacier. He was like others also presumed to be dead, but he bravely beat death.
According to health experts, the tough survival training modules which Hanumanthappa would have underwent to face such natural calamities, have definitely played a key role in his survival.
The medical condition of Hanamanthappa was very critical and he was admitted to the RR Hospital, but his condition wasn’t stable. He was in a comatose state and was in shock state resulting to low blood pressure.
How did Hanumanthappa Koppad Survive for 6 Days
1. Search Operation
A Massive and extremely difficult operation was launched by the Indian Army and Indian Air Force. This operation was carried out to locate the Indian post and pull out the buried soldiers. There was absolutely no chance that any of the 10 soldiers would survive under the snow in Siachen’s extreme climate.
2. Team found Hanamanthappa’s Location
8th Feb Monday night, the rescue team, who were looking for signs of any surviving men, sprawled upon the location where Hanamanthappa was buried under the huge block of hardened snow.
3. Medical team was shocked
When Hanamanthappa was found, the medical team present on the spot were astonished to see that Hanamanthappa still breathing.
4. What protected Hanamanthappa
According to expert Sameer Shrivastava – the organs are usually transferred or preserved in frozen conditions. In Hanamanthappa case, there is a possibility that the ice turned into a saviour and protected him from death.
Adding further another expert Col H.S. Chauhan said, the air pocket created between the snow layer would have possibly been a reason for his survival. Possibily Hanamanthappa was successful in getting some oxygen trapped in the air pocket which allowed him to breathe.
Apart from all Hanamanthappa’s strong will-power to survive has acted as an added advantage.
