Read More »At the bottom of the Atlantic in an upended tugboat, Nigerian cook drew life from a shrinking air pocket Entombed at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in an upended tugboat, all Harrison Odjegba Okene had was an ever-dwindling supply of oxygen in an air pocket. The Nigerian cook survived for three days in his sunken boat. A video of Okene's rescue in May that was posted on the internet more than six months later has gone viral this week. It was frightening for everybody.... It was a shock for the diver while he was down there looking for bodies, and we [in the control room] shot back when the hand grabbed him on the screen. -Tony Walker, project manager of the diving company As the temperature dropped to freezing, Okene, dressed only in boxer shorts, recited the last psalm his wife had sent by text message, sometimes called the Prayer for Deliverance: "Oh God, by your name, save me. ... The Lord sustains my life." To this day, Okene believes his rescue after 72 hours under water at a depth of 30 metres is a sign of divine deliverance. The other 11 seamen aboard the Jascon 4 died. Divers sent to the scene were looking only for bodies, according to Tony Walker, project manager for the Dutch company DCN Diving. The divers, who were working on a neighbouring oil field 120 kilometres away when they were deployed, had already pulled up four bodies. So when a hand appeared on the TV screen Walker was monitoring in the rescue boat, showing what the diver in the Jascon saw, everybody assumed it was another corpse. "The diver acknowledged that he had seen the hand and then, when he went to grab the hand, the hand grabbed him!" Walker said in a telephone interview Tuesday. "It was frightening for everybody," he said. "For the guy that was trapped because he didn't know what was happening. It was a shock for the diver while he was down there looking for bodies, and we [in the control room] shot back when the hand grabbed him on the screen."

I started reminiscing on the verses I read before I slept. I read the Bible from Psalm 54 to 92. My wife had sent me the verses to read that night when she called me before I went to bed." He survived off just one bottle of Coke, all he had to sustain him during the trauma. Okene really thought he was going to die, he told the Nation, when he heard the sound of a boat engine and anchor dropping, but failed to get the attention of rescuers. He figured, given the size of the boat, that it would take a miracle for a diver to locate him. So he waded across the cabin, stripped the wall down to its steel body, then knocked on it with a hammer. But, "I heard them moving away. They were far away from where I was." By the time he was saved, relatives already had been told the sailors were dead. Okene kept faith with the psalm he recited, that promises to "give thanks in your name, Lord," at a service at his Redeemed Christian Church of God. He was rescued by a diver who first used hot water to warm him up, then attached him to an oxygen mask. Once free of the sunken boat, he was put into a decompression chamber and then safely returned to the surface.
