Nigerian Survives Two Days Under the Sea

[James]

A Nigerian man has survived for two-and-a-half days trapped 30m (98ft) deep in freezing seawater.

Harrison Okene, 29, was on board the tug boat Jascon-4 when it capsized in heavy swells.

It sank to the seabed, upside down, but Mr Harrison was trapped in an air pocket and able to breathe.

Of the other 12 people on board, 10 bodies have already been found and Mr Harrison is assumed to be the only survivor.

Mr Harrison told Reuters journalist Joe Brock that he could hear fish eating the dead bodies of his fellow crew members.

honestly this is an amazing example of the human drive to survive! even if all he knew was certain death, he still strove to hang on. absolutely impressive, and with fish eating the bodies of your fellow crew? gruesome. bluhh i don't think i would've held out for more than like 12 hours, haha. way too much for me.

how about you guys? how do you feel about what he went through? could you do the same thing? what would you have done differently?
