An 82-year-old man and his 41-year-old son were found living in a central Vietnam forest after they went missing during the Vietnam War. The last time anybody saw Ho Van Thanh, he was running into the forest with his then-infant son Ho Van Lang in 1973, after a bomb exploded in his home and killed his wife and two other children.
Thanh and Lang survived by growing forest vegetables and hunting animals. They’ve reportedly had no contact with the outside world. Although Thanh can communicate in the Cor ethnic minority language, his son pictured in local media wearing a loincloth made from tree bark, only knows a few words.
