This was an extreme case in extreme conditions. Until medicine and science learns more I'll stick to common sense or PLBs when I 'get stupid.' Half a bottle of BBQ sauce? shudders

Yes, but it was Stubb's BBQ sauce. That's the trick.

If it's true. Do you remember that woman who was reported to have been buried by an earthquake? It turned out that it was something of a hoax, as neighbors had seen her walking around the area days before she was 'found'.

It could be true, a really good example of 'dumb luck', like the kids pulled out a Lake Superior or somewhere after being submerged for 90 minutes.

Organ shut-down... no lasting effects. Well, get back to us in a year or two.
