66 days?!


Was anybody else shocked that Bobby Sands survived that long before finally dying? I'm aware he must have been drinking water but still, I thought the maximum amount of time the body could go without a single piece of food would be more like 25/30 days.

Disasters are just another star falling in my yard

Maybe it was his will and preservarence that saw him through it....

There are many fasting experiment stories on Youtube, where some people consume nothing but water for up to 30 days or even more (huge benefit for health). It's definitely possible. Especially in Bobby Sand's case who rested majority of the time without any activity, it would be possible to last 66 days. And of course the willpower and great determination the man had.
