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

I remember him , he was on Jascon vessel then that submerged years ago ..if he was a white man he would have written a best seller now and become a millionaire and sold the rights for a movie ...it's one of the greatest miraculous survival story ever ..I remember how shocked the European divers who came to evacuate corpse where when they saw him looking healthy and fresh under the ocean

The Name of the vessel was JASCON 4 owned by WAV then it's a true story I remember the rescue effort

I watched the video years back on one of those dstv programs on sonymax, can't really recall the name of the program but I could remember he fainted the moment they started helping him out..

Jascon 4

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.
