Trapped Underwater For 60 Hours - The Harrison Okene Story

from Ray William Johnson: True Story Podcast · host Ray William Johnson

The Nigerian cook Harrison Okene was using the bathroom on a tugboat when a massive wave capsized the vessel and sent it to the ocean floor about 100 feet down. Trapped in total darkness, surrounded by drowning crew members, Okene found a tiny pocket of trapped air inside a bathroom and laundry area. He survived nearly three days in that pitch-black bubble.
