An Australian hiker, identified only as Matthew, survived a harrowing week stranded on a cliff in the Coastal Mountain Range near Taitung, Taiwan. After becoming stuck while hiking, following an argument with his wife, Matthew managed to alert rescuers using his saxophone. The Taitung County Fire Bureau launched a rescue operation after receiving a missing person report last Monday. The operation involved volunteer firefighters and forestry personnel, who faced challenges due to heavy rain and unstable terrain. Drones were utilized to drop food and supplies to Matthew while rescue teams approached him on foot from two directions. Rescuers reached him on Thursday evening, but the adverse conditions forced them to camp overnight before safely escorting him down the mountain the following day. Remarkably, Matthew emerged from the ordeal without injuries, expressing his gratitude, saying, 'It’s a miracle. Thank you, Taiwan.' His story highlights both the dangers of hiking in remote areas and the effectiveness of coordinated rescue efforts.
