Nigerian Man Survives 3 Days in Sunken Ship

   

Quote :

Harrison Okene was in the bathroom of the Jascon 4 in the early hours when the tug begun to capsize in heavy seas, 20 miles off the Nigerian coast. But unlike his 11 colleagues, all of whom were locked in their rooms for safety against piracy and are thought to have perished, Mr Okene was able to locate an air pocket and await rescue.

Hungry, cold and tired, he became aware of the sound of marine life swimming through the bowels of the ship. Then he heard loud noises as the fish – he thought they could be barracuda or sharks – started thrashing around, fighting over something big. He feared it was the corpses of his colleagues, and armed himself with a plank in case any animals swam into his space.

Words fail me. This is the worlds most badass dude ever.

"It's pitch black, I'm 150ft underwater, I'm going to fight a shark with a board."

".......and then when I heard divers around the boat, I used a hammer to single-handedly demolish a wall and then pounded on the steel frame with it".

I honestly don't think the rest of the people were put into their rooms out of fear of piracy. I think they were in there for protection against this fucking gnarly dude.
