This dude spent three days in a sunken ship, with no food, water, or light. While searching for dead bodies divers found him in an air pocket. Crazy Shit. Dude was born with a crazy amount of patience to wait it out that long! This vid is the moment they found him but there are longer ones on youtube.

Didn't this happen a while back or is he the second guy to do this?

I was thinking the same thing. Big article, don't remember when I read it.

Couple months ago seems like.

Might've been but I just saw this vid today so I posted it

That's crazy. I wonder how long he planned on holding out.

Probably planned on holding out until he ran out of beer.

Wow, put him in a Kirby-Morgan band mask, told him to breathe normally and took him out.

It did look like the beers were floating in there

How the hell would he not freeze to death?

Nigeria is pretty warm I reckon.

Even if the water was 75 degrees, core temp would still drop over the course of three days. Don't you think?

Well how the fuck am I suppose to know bill, he's still alive, ain't he?
Maybe the mermaids kept him warm.

Your right, he was probably in shock. He also has some weight on him which helps. If you can keep the water close around you, no current, and keep your head above water your also doing well.

There was a story of a family holding onto wreckage up here after their boat sunk. The dad went first trying to pull off a rescue somehow and moving around too much. Then the kids went next. The overweight wife made it.

Talk about some pruney ass feet

I'm not sure I believe the story

Me either.

It's the groundwork for a Nigerian scammer.

anything above 72 and your chances are pretty damn good

Not this Mexican. I put my feet in Lake Superior in August of 1999, and I don't think they've warmed up yet. Anything less than 75 degrees, and I don't even want to get in it.

This and there are different things you can do to preserve body heat.

And I'm sure this Nigerian stowaway knew all about them.

I'm still calling horsepuckey. TK and I have spent enough time around boats, we know what how long an individual can survive in a capsized vessel.

how did he not run out of air?

We covered this already! The mermaids helped a brother out.

through osmosis the oxygen in the water would have also been transferred to the air he was in.

The mermaid's name was Osmosis?

I think Boot has it, mermaids kept blowing him...

That would certainly keep me going.
