Great Video: Man survives tug boat sinking underwater for 3 days
http://www.thv11.com/news/article/289408/70/Great-Video-Man-survives-tug-boat-sinking-underwater-for-3-days
It was already a miraculous story of survival; a man was trapped for almost three days underwater after his tugboat sank, but now video of the rescue has surfaced.
When this tugboat capsized in the ocean off the coast of Africa, it was thought a dozen men drowned, so imagine when a rescue diver searching the tug felt a hand. Jed Chamberlain said, "What was shocking he thought that was a hand belonging to a corpse."
When the hand grabbed him, you can see the reaction of the diver and the supervisor on the surface.
For the diver, Chamberlain said, "He said it was one of the most terrifying moments underwater."
The diver met the survivor as the rescuer surfaced in an air pocket. Harrison Okene, 29, had been underwater for two and a half days.

but you need a warning that the video is rife with Candy Crowley.
