God is wonderful ! Photo of Nigerian trapped in ocean for 3 days released

The Photo of a Nigerian who was trapped for three days in an air
pocket of a sunken ship and discovered by divers has been
released. The recently released video taken by South African DCN
Diving captured the intense rescue of the 29-year- old cook.
Harrison Okene, 29, was a chef on the Jascon 4, an oil company’s
ship, when the boat capsized and sank 100 feet into the ocean off the
coast of Nigeria in May due to heavy ocean swells, Reuters reported at
the time.
As the ship sank, Okene was washed away by the rushing water.
“Three men were in front of me and suddenly water rushed in full
force,” Okene told Reuters. “I saw the first one, the second one, the
third one, just washed away. I knew these men were dead.”
Of the 12 members on the crew, Okene was the only survivor, finding
refuge in a small air pocket of the ship.As a South African rescue
diver probed the wreckage of an overturned tugboat in the Atlantic
Ocean off the coast of Nigeria this summer, it was assumed that all
he’d be doing would be recovering the bodies of those who perished.
However, as he was swimming through the murky water inside the
capsized boat on May 28, a hand suddenly reached toward him out of
the gloom.
It was the ship’s cook, Harrison Okene, who had somehow survived
for approximately 60 hours in only his underwear in the freezing cold
water by breathing from a small air pocket and taking sips of Coca-
Cola.
Video of Okene’s dramatic rescue in May shows the moment his hand
penetrated the darkness to alert the diver that he was still alive. Then
it a shirtless Okene is shown from the waist up.”He’s alive! He’s
alive!” the diver exclaims to a colleague on the surface who is guiding
him. ”Just reassure him,” the diver’s colleague says. “Just reassure
him. Pat him on the shoulder.”
Okene was the only one of 12 crew members who survived when the
Jacon-4 tugboat capsized on May 26 in heavy Atlantic storm swells
after assisting an oil tanker that was filling up at a Chevron platform.
Divers recovered 10 other bodies; one other crew member was never
found.
The young cook was in a bathroom at 4:50 a.m. on May 26 when the
tugboat began to turn over and water started pouring in. Okene forced
open the bathroom door and was soon swept down a hallway into
another bathroom, where he survived by breathing from a small air
bubble and keeping his head above the slowly rising water. It was
May 28 by the time Okene saw the light mounted on the diver’s head
and reached out to grab him.
The diving team put Okene in an oxygen mask and diver’s suit and
brought him to the surface, more than 2 ½ days after the ship initially
capsized. Okene then was put in a decompression chamber for
another 60 hours because he had been underwater so long that his
body pressure needed to slowly return to normal to ward off
potentially fatal exposure to regular air pressure.
