The man from nowhere

The Washiba Sands - a soft sand desert in northeast Oman. (p. 5)

A family (a man, his wife, and their son) were traveling by plane during their long vacation. Their destination was Tehran, but the weather in Tehran was terrible then. Therefore, they decided to change their plan and started to go to Paris. Unfortunately, on the way to Paris, a bird strike happened. The airplane struck〔 hit〕lots of birds. As a result, they crashed into a land. They were all alive, but there were no food, no villages, no wood, no people, so he made a decision to go to the coast to call for help and find someone who could help them. He kept walking without consciousness, and then he collapsed. However, a boy in a village noticed him lying on the sand, and fortunately, he was helped by some villagers.
He was taken by a helicopter to a hospital in the capital city. But he was in a coma then...
