Video: Nigerian Cook (Harrison Okene) Survives Two Days Under Sea In Shipwreck Air Bubble

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.See video below.
