Two Myanmar fishermen have survived for almost a month in shark-infested waters by floating in a large ice box after their boat sank, rescue officials said. The men, both aged in their 20s, were on a 12-metre Thai fishing boat with 18 others when it sank in heavy seas off Australia's north coast on Dec. 23, said Australian Maritime Safety Authority spokeswoman Tracy Jiggins.
