Three boys were rescued at sea after their boat drifted at sea for more than 50 days. This came as a happy surprise to all their family members who had thought them lost and dead at sea. The families had even had a memorial service to say goodbye. But the boys were eventually found alive by a tuna boat fishing crew. The boys were able to stay alive by eating a sea bird and by gathering water in a tarpaulin. This looks short compared to a much longer absence at sea in 2005 when three Mexican fishermen drifted across the Pacific Ocean for nine months. (by Prof. Simon Smith)

Last time I told you about 10 of the least stressful jobs in the United States. How about the five scariest jobs? You probably won’t be surprised that a miner has the second scariest job, especially after what happened in Chile earlier this year. Other jobs, like a bomb squad technician and field epidemiologist, aren’t that surprising either, but have you ever thought about broadcast tower technicians? They have to climb the towers, the tallest of which (in the US) is 2,063 feet, and they have to have enough strength to climb to the top of the tower. There aren’t many safety mechanisms for them, either, so their place at number 3 isn’t so surprising after all. How about you? Do you want a scary or a safe job? (by Prof. Carmella Lieske)
