Unfortunately, Petra’s partner was among them. The beauty managed to survive only because she stayed on the palm tree for several hours and waited for help to arrive. No one will ever erase this horrible moment from her mind.
One could say that top model Petra Němcová has everything. Beauty, money, fame and a happy carefree life.

At the time, she was on vacation with her partner in Thailand.
She will remember the day she was born again. She can be grateful to the universe for letting her survive then. However, her friend, photographer Simon Atlee, who died, was not so lucky.
“We were walking on the beach and I saw the sea rise. But I’ve never heard of a tsunami before. So I didn’t recognize the warning signs. If I knew about it, I’d probably tell a friend and people at the beach to hide somewhere high. It shows the power of education. So we went back to the bungalow and then the wave came, “she said for Blesk.cz.
Eight hours on a palm tree with a broken pan

Even though Petra still had a lot of relationships, for example with singer James Blunt, actor Bruce Willis and Sean Penn, or with billionaire Benjamin Lareetch, to whom she gave birth to a son Bodhi, she always remained modest and humble. There is no doubt that this is due to the fact that she went through hell at the time and knows how fleeting life can be.
It saved her from talking to the crab
“I was in utter agony and fainting at any moment. I was trying to concentrate. The scariest thing was the screams of the small children around me, but I couldn’t even move to help one of them.

Every time the water subsided, I screamed in pain, and whenever the water level rose, I was relieved, then I saw a crab, pulled it out, and pressed it against a tree, I watched over him, protected him, talked to him. to know that I am able to save someone. It sounds strange, but thanks to that I remained calm, “Němcová finished her story.
