<p>Wait, I could give this a go: those people who will turn 119 in 25 years are 94 now. The 1-year-survival ratio up to 100 is still above 50%, but beyond I believe about 106 this has declined to around 40%, where it plateaus. So if we average that out a little to, say, 45% for these people who are now 96, then we only need to know how many people right now are 94. Does anybody have any idea about that number? Because then it's just  × 0.45²⁵. But I'm afraid it's not so easy to get these (global) estimates..</p>

It would be a huge shame, for instance, if someone genuinely lived to age 119+ again but this time lacked the necessary documentation to actually prove it.</p>

<p>It looks like someone is holding a film camera in the background of this photo from her 115th birthday:<br /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/NJU1IOj.jpg" /><br /><br />I've also thought this could be a screenshot of a video:<br /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/QVl4q5m.png" /><br />I wouldn't even be surprised if the local newspaper reports from her 100th and 106th birthdays were also televised. </p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>Sarah Knauss lived to the amazing age of 119 years and 97 days. She has held her place in spot 2 of the oldest validated people ever for more than 22 years. However now there is a supercentenarian named Kane Tanaka who is approaching her and is now really close to her final age. She can be surpassed soon.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Is it necessary to mention Kane Tanaka in such a brief post? Wouldn't it be better to celebrate her life and life story? I have done extensive research into Mrs. Knauss in the past and have collected an article gallery covering parts of her life.</p>

<p>No, there is really no need to.</p>]]></content:encoded>
