Cyclone hits Survivor India
TNN | Feb 18, 2012, 12.00AM ISTThe contestants of " Survivor India", marooned in the islands
of Caramoan, Philippines, faced a life-threatening situation when the
deadly cyclone Juaning struck the islands of Tayak and Catan.
Recalling the nightmare JD Majethia said, "It was a near death
experience. All three days, I could only think about my family and pray
for our safety."
Contestants were huddled under one tarpaulin to protect them from the lashing rains.
Payal Rohatgi
said, "The rain was so powerful that it felt like we were being stabbed
by knives. I was so scared that I huddled as close as I could to
Sangram."
The Philippines MET department instructed the
producers to evacuate the contestants from Tayak and Catan to safer
islands as they fell into the Red Alert Zone. Along with the
contestants, the shooting unit was also stranded as the only way to
reach the islands was through speed boats, which could not be put out to
sea as there were 10-feet waves crashing over the beach. Even the
bridge, that connected the base camp to mainland, collapsed, cutting off
food and electricity supply for the entire crew.
Three days of
incessant rain, starvation and cold have left both tribes petrified.
Will the contestants crumble or will they emerge stronger?
