100 feet down.

quote:

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.

What fresh hell that must have been.

I remember reading this article and watching the video of the divers finding the guy. It’s pretty cool.

But I have to ask, how at 5 am, 6 years later, are you coming across this story?

Mr Harrison "actually grabbed the second diver who went past him," Mr Chamberlain said, adding that the diver concerned got quite a fright.

He's going to need help getting his million dollar settlement out of the country due to political instability.

Damng. I didn't notice.

I don't know, I was on the BBC website and it was on the front page, never occurred to me it was 6 days old, let alone 6 years old.

Not if he emails me about his situation and to get my personal info and bank account info to wire the money to me in exchange for a cut of the fortune.

In the battleship West Virginia, sunk at Pearl Harbor, they found some bodies with a calendar where they had marked off two weeks after Dec. 7.
