Set Foot on This Island and You May Not Leave Alive

[Doomsday101]

Newser) – Sometimes paradise is better off lost: Off the coast of India in the Bay of Bengal, a Manhattan-size island called North Sentinel Island boasts a deep green canopy of trees, stretches of sandy beaches, coral reef barriers—and a population that's decidedly hostile to outsiders, who aren't likely to live long. As Wackulus explains, the isolated indigenous tribe, one of the last of its kind on Earth, almost always attacks visitors. A little digging uncovered this story: After a night of drinking in 2006, two fishermen drifted too close to the island and were killed by the Sentinelese, who've lived there for 60,000 years. A helicopter sent to recover their bodies was halted by tribesmen's arrows, the Telegraph reported at the time; the air generated by the copter's rotors revealed their bodies in shallow graves. One of the earliest known encounters a century earlier ended when a convict who'd escaped from the neighboring Andaman Islands ended up on the island with his throat slit, the New York Times reported in 2012.

Amazing that in 2015 there are still tribes that are like this one.

If you knew the world was going to turn out the way it has and someone gave you the option to live like that would you take it? I know I probably would.

Drop a case of Justin Beiber and One Direction albums on the island and watch them squirm like wieners on a grill.

"Sentinelese, who've lived there for 60,000 years."

So they have found bones 60,000 years old? I guess historical proof isn't needed.

Drop off all ISIS sympathizers on that island along with all illegals with criminal back grounds trying to find a sanctuary city. Turn it into a reality game show called "Running Man."

And the object is to get from one end of the island to the other to get taken off.
But they must stay on the island - not swim to the other end.

How... How... Uncivilized.

If they make it, they get a first-class ticket back to THEIR homeland.

Oh. I thought there would be a reward for winning not back to the hell hole they came from.

Did I mention their was 6 rounds? If you get through the island the first time, you get to start all over. Probably a 15% chance they get through the first time.

Anthropologist have visited the island and tribe (per the article) so not sure why there would think there is no evidence or proof.

 

[Doomsday101]

I would actually watch the reality show Survivor if they put the contestants on this island
