A 15-year-old boy accidentally locked himself inside a shipping container during a game of hide-and-seek — and was discovered a week later in another country.

 

The teen from Bangladesh — identified only by his first name, Fahim — was playing with friends in the port city of Chittagong on January 11 when he hid inside the container and fell asleep, according to India Times.

 

The container was then loaded on a commercial ship headed to Malaysia, where the boy was discovered in West Port six days later on January 17.

 

“The boy was just believed to have entered the container, fell asleep, and found himself here,” Malaysian Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said, according to Bernama, a Malaysian news agency.

 

After an investigation, officials said the teen had wandered into the container during a game of hide-and-seek.

So, how do you think this situation could have been prevented, and what do you think should be done to ensure the safety of minors in similar circumstances?

that’s a nightmare come true 

[Proseductice]

Did he wake up and try yelling for help I wonder? I'm sure it's too loud on the ship, but 6 days? I'd be terrified.

 

He's lucky to have survived honestly, that's horrifying.

A winner
