The incredible rescue of Harrison the Nigerian cook
« on: December 02, 2013, 08:56:39 PM »
A ship with 12 crew members submerged and sunk to the ocean floor, coming to rest 100 feet down. After 72 hours, a diving team was sent to recover the bodies. The lead search-recovery diver made his way through the ship, recording with a helmet cam transmitting to the surface, guided by his superior via audio headset.

In an instant, into the camera's view through the murky water: a lone survivor; the ship's cook, who was trapped in an air pocket, 100 feet down, for 72 hours without food, water, or fresh air.

A truly remarkable "reality" video. It's several minutes long, and gripping.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson

Not his time to go.  He still has work to do.
