According to the Independent on February 17, an American male aged 84 spent five days stranded in the Arizona desert after getting lost while driving home.
一位84岁的美国老人因为迷路以及汽车陷在亚利桑那州的沙漠里不能动弹,在沙漠里与死神挣扎了5天,幸好,在危难之际,他想出了一个常人想不到的办法。

Henry Morello drank the windscreen washer fluid, used car mats to stay warm at night and read his car manual from cover to cover to pass the time. He was finally rescued when a walker discovered him.
这位名叫亨利·莫雷洛的老人相处了一个非常聪明的办法:饮用汽车车窗雨刷器中的水!就这样他抱着汽车坐垫取暖,靠一遍遍阅读汽车手册来打发时间。最后,一位沙漠徒步者发现了他,将其救出。

He ripped a chrome piece from his car and put it on the roof, hoping someone would see the reflection.
在被困期间,他没有忘记从车上撕了一片铬合金放到车顶,希望有人能看到车顶的反光。
