Harrison Odjegba Okene, a Nigerian cook, is found by divers after surviving for three days in an air pocket on a sunken tugboat at the bottom of the Atlantic. Divers from the Dutch company DCN Diving are looking for dead bodies when Okene grabs one of the divers' hands. The diver uses hot water to warm him up, attaches an oxygen mask to him and safely returns him to the surface

3. That really is amazing

I don't know how that diver didn't have a heart attack when a hand grabbed him though. While looking for bodies. But what an incredible story. Amazingly lucky guy.

7. From the way his voice sounded,

they may have given him a helium mix. Pure oxygen would have killed him at that depth.
