This guy has to be the luckiest guy on the planet!!
He's a cook on a ship that sinks. Boat is at the bottom ( 100') for 3 days!
Divers are down there looking to bring up the dead when they see a hand.
It's at about the 5:45 min mark on the video.

That's freakin AWESOME

You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky)
My Life ROCKS!
How's yours doing?

I think the doctors need to study that guy to find out how the hell he kept his body temperature in the survivable range.

It could have read: 3 days underwater...COOKED ALIVE!

That would have been an entirely different story.

That's incredible! But I bet that diver just about had a heart attack when that hand appeared.

I think he's been emailing me.

But seriously, that was awesome. Nothing really rattles me at depth but seeing a hand would've given me a heart attack!!

Why did the guy let the survivor through the passage first? I'd want them behind me in case they freaked. He certainly looked like he handled himself like a champ. Wonder if he had dive training?

Its not seeing that hand, he was looking for dead bodies after all, its when the hand squeezed back that probably made him soil his pants.

Your rights end where my feelings begin.

Being that he was in the kitchen, maybe he was leaving the oven door open...

I just can't even begin to imagine what was going through his head for those 3 days ... wow

"What is your rank?"

"I'm the cook, i'm the cook"

"Your the cook?"

"Yes the cook"

"They always survive"


Holy shit! No words!

Most dives in cold water, you kind of look forward to warming up your wetsuit the natural way. When my daughter was taking her certification class, she gave me a hard time about wearing a school wetsuit. I told her, "There are two kinds of wetsuit...'brand new' and 'been peed in'. I probably should have held off. I had to buy her a wetsuit.

I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

So true. Especially when you're on a dive boat, everyone is cold and people will say they can't wait to get into the water so they can pee and warm themselves up a bit. And it works. Then there's the people who stand at the back of the boat on the transom and pee while squirting the fresh water hose down their wetsuit. Too obvious. Just jump in, hang on the ladder and say you're checking the prop.

As for the physics of how he survived in the gases here is a link that made my head explode and made me want to refresh my Dive Theory knowledge:

All that and the corporate media is silent. Figures.

Maybe they've been getting his emails too.

I only snorkel, and only been out on one dive boat, but they had a warm water hose at the stern to warm our suits prior to entry. No peeing necessary. I was hoping that was the norm, 'cause I liked it.

As for the cook, BONUS DAYS!

They're just slow to react. It will pop up in few days.

You DO realize that this took place back in June of this year, right?

And it was covered then.

Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

[Tink1717 2]

No. I never heard of this back in June. And I'm a news junkie. None of the outlet I use said a thing.

Fake

[DougH 270]

Fake? I don't think it is fake.

They even brought this letter up that he was writing in case he was ever discovered:

"Dear Friend,

I know this letter comes as a surprise to you.

I have been trapped in a boat for the last three days. While contemplating my imminent death, I was moved by God to impart you the good news that my father, former nigerian oil minister, had left me USD 10,000,000 ( Ten Million US dollars) which I would like to transfer to a trustworthy partner such as yourself. Unfortunately, because of my fathers position, I am not able to transfer funds without a correspondent bank overseas.

In view of our trusted relationship, I undertake to share with you 20 percent of the sum transferred.

Please do not divulge these details to any other party........."
