It actually the raw truth bro. He was working for WAV and they were doing a tug operation for CNL when the waters got so rough and their tug capsized and sank. He just woke up and was attempting to use the restroom when that occurred. because the vessel sank upside down, there were some packet of air trapped within the vessel and he was afloat on a piece of wood kept alive with the oxygen supplies from the trapped air. Divers who came to retrieve the dead bodies of his colleagues saw him, he was too traumatized to even speak and was the only survivor of the accident. He couldn't even attend any burial of his colleagues as people had that mindset that he was evil and could not have survived like that. He has since vowed not to near water again

Jascon 4 embarassed

Oh, I remember that period, it was a sober one indeed. The fact that you ply the same road or waters someone else plies without you getting any accidents is only God's grace.

Ednut1, thanks for sharing that video. The area the vessel sank was around 300m below sea level if I'm not mistaken.
