Harrison seemed to have phobia and severe PTSD from this experience and became a DIVER to help overcome his fear. His mental strength & determination kept him alive down there and it allowed him to go on mentally living after the fact instead of simply surviving to the next day. Respect
Yeah I can't imagine having a panic attack while underwater, I think even the fear of having one might cause me to have one, it could have gone horribly wrong but hey the guy is a badass
Mad MAD respect for Harrison. To have survived at the bottom of the ocean for 2 days, be rescued, suffer PTSD only to end up becoming dive certified...I don't even have the words. This man is a testament to resilience. Nothing but respect for Harrison.
You can actually see it as if occurred in real time! The body recovery team that was initially there to retrieve corpses came across him in pitch darkness with the only light being the underwater lamps they were using to safely navigate.
This easily ranks as one of the greatest survival stories of all time. The odds of a person surviving the events that occurred would be extremely remote.
The one that inspired 127 hours is probably one of my "favorites." The sheer amount of willpower and desperation you have to have to do that that man did 😮💨 whew.. I could never
I know this one! The diver and crew who thought they were only there to find bodies became a rescue team immediately! Their professionalism saved this man's life.
Omg yes both divers turned rescuers and Harrison were phenomenal. And fortunate enough that the divers boat got the diving bell on board to resurface Harrison.
For those of yall confused, the man in the episode had to drink a bottle of Coca-Cola in order to live. It was the only thing he could drink since sea water is just too salty for mass consumption.
I remember hearing somewhere that he only survived in that pocket of air because at the depth he was stranded, CO2 was somewhat absorbed into the water, and dissolved oxygen from that same deep water was able to diffuse out. He was at the absolute ideal depth to have a few days of regulated breathing with that space.
The amount of oxygen available to diffuse in would not be very much. He had oxygen because the air pocket althogh small was compressed, and contained 3x as much oxygen. You need about 360 liters of pure oxygen per day, and air is 20%, so you would need 5x that if you could use it all. 1 cubic meter is a thousand liters. So I agree, the accessible one meter bubble was probably just the bottom of a larger bubble, where air could circulate but the holes were too small for him to move through. I think the high concentration of CO2 would diffuse out, though, prolonging his air supply. In a closed environment, the concentration of CO2 kills you before you run out of oxygen -- you only get the breathe about half the oxygen before the C02 builds up to 10%.. The larger bubble than what was apparent, and highly irregular in shape, increases the surface area of the boundary, too. A back of the envelope calculation shows that the dissolution rate will easily be more than what a human produces, when the concentration is well below the lethal level.
A couple specialists determined Harrison had 58-60 hours in that air pocket before he died due to CO2 saturation. They determined he had inadvertently scrubbed some CO2 into the water by splashing around, going back and forth between his air pocket searching for stuff, in and out of the water at times, etc.
What an absolute legend of a man. Any normal person would never go near the water again, but to conquer that fear and become a diver. All I can do is applaud, that's incredible fortitude.
I'd heard of this story before. Being in the dark under water like that for an extended period in a hopeless and scary, nightmare situation -- this was truly a miraculous survival story. Its amazing he is now diving! Incredible!
Hopefully, this should be turned into a movie. Nigeria hardly tap into their experiences to create something out it. Thank God for saving Harrison life is just a heart warming story.
This video made this man's ordeal look not as bad. But it was 10x worse then how this video portrayed. This man was in pitch black darkness, halfway in the cold water and Half on that mattress. And he only had on his boxer shorts because he woke up early to walk to the bathroom in his draws. That timing literally saved his life.
Not many stories bring me to tears but this was definitely one of them, lucky guy, and to see him get the courage to become a diver Is amazing. Great story!
@@PerceptenceI used the wrong term for the ship, boat, vessel . I’ve never been aboard a vessel that was not larger than a Nimitz class carrier. But the smaller cruiser type coast guard have a capsize counter measure. That storm must’ve been a doozy. Because the last time the US Navy had lost three ships in a hurricane was in 1943 . It was used as a plot point in the movie the Caine Mutiny.
@@Oceanviewsz I'll try it out at some point but I'll need a bunch of people to go with me. I don't think I'd be able to take it on my own, at least not when I'm just starting.
@@karma1507 Learning to scuba dive is a very slow process. In the UK at least you do a lot of training with all the breathing apparatus in a swimming pool for a long time before they let you try it outside.
I can’t imagine how terrifying and mentally challenging it must have been to have gone through what Harrison did. He truly was incredible to have come out of that in one piece. God knows there’s no way I could have dealt with that without going insane.
I just watched the missing submarine story and got recommended this video, Okene's story is so incredible, i cant imagine what was going through his mind for that 3 days prior to being saved and the relief and disbelief he must've felt when he saw the divers...
This man is a legend. Imagine being able to stay calm in such a situation like that and then not only conquer your fear but turn it into something you enjoy, must take unbelievable strength.
Wow, years ago I heard this story, but he was not a diver yet and I felt bad he was traumatized for life... So happy to know he overcame the fear and night mares... Well done Harrison.
If you apply for an open water scuba diving license, you will conquer your fear of the sea. Although scuba diving lessons can be expensive. And you should have no problem doing 50 laps on a Olympic sized pool.
Practice swimming until you can effortlessly swim 50 laps on a Olympic sized pool. Attend a PADI open water scuba diving course, and you will discover a beautiful world beneath the sea.
I can't imagine being trapped at the bottom of sea in a room that is practically the size of my bathroom. Just the sheer amount of stress would be enough to break me. Props to the dude for keeping it together
If I remember correctly it was estimated he had like 3 hours worth of air when found. It’s amazing, he was handed a horrible situation by pure luck, than he made a series of correct decisions that allowed him to survive
@@NewRUclipsr1111 another video I saw, I think said they had an emergency gps beacon that the salvage teams used to locate the wreck, but I’m not 100% sure if I remember that correctly. It would make sense considering they were in pirate waters.
God has nothing to do with him surviving bruv, if God saved him then ur God is pathetic and full of evil since he allowed the remaining 11 crew members to perish. Dude literally did what he had to do to stay alive and hope for a rescue
My grandfather retired from diving for shipwrecks after nearly dying from the bends and lost a lot of motor control and feeling on one side of his body, but it is amazing how he's still mobile and still hunting from the surface of the water for shipwrecks.
Complacency. They have likely seen a dozen storms before and just figured it would end up as all the previous ones did. At least that's my best guess lol, still doesn't excuse it since they even locked all the rooms in fear of pirates so not having someone on watch seems odd, especially in a storm.
No amount of people on watch will stop nature from doing it's thing. If a storm bad enough to capsize your ship is approaching you, your only option is between hoping it doesn1t happen and praying it doesn1t happen.
@@OzixiThrill think I understand how my grandpa slept through a tornado that ripped the walls and roof off, he said the rain and sun woke him to a nice view of outdoors. He used to do ship work out on the water.
6:18 so much incredible about this story, even the little details like that. It's incredible that Harrison kept his head together through the whole thing, but even to the extent when he saw the diver and swam down he first tapped him and withdrew before reaching his hand out the 2nd time so as not to shock the diver too much at first.

This story gave me so much anxiety and claustrophobia just listening to it. Then I felt joy, and pride at this incredible man overcoming this fear, and at the awesome men who helped save him ❤
Commercial diver here, I just wanna clear up some misinformation from the video. "The bends" is literally a slang term for decompression sickness and can manifest in many different ways, some fatal, some not. A brain aneurysm is the most fatal, as in, if a bubble in your bloodstream manages to reach your brain, you just drop dead. A pulmonary embolism can also be fatal which is when a bubble forms outside of the lung, reducing the internal capacity of the lung or even collapsing it. Others are stiff joints, limb pain, rashes etc. These are conditions that get placed under the umbrella term decompression sickness or "the bends".
@@KT-pv3kl Yes. Because otherwise, this happens and everyone dies. Eventually you'd run out of living people who think it's a fine idea to leave a boat unsupervised in dangerous waters.

I've heard this story a good few times but I never knew the dude actually decided to go back to the water. Not even just go back to it but delve beneath it dude is a champ for that.
What an amazing story. I cried when he was finally found like the sheer emotion at that moment nor could I blame him for never wanting to step foot in the ocean again but he DID. I love this so much though of course it’s still tragic as lives were lost.
@@Bungger I never understood that “test of faith” thing. If a god is supposed to be all knowing, why would it need to test something out for a conclusion? And in a cruel way no doubt?
But that logic, did God smite the rest of the crew that drowned trapped in their quarters alone, in the dark, and upside down? Listen, if I were the guy, I would probably pray my a** off to any god. And if I survived, maybe I’d be more religious…or maybe I’d believe in more randomness.
Our finite mind can’t not even begin to try to understand an infinite God or the death of the others even if it seems bad to us! Thank you Jesus for saving this man’s life his work isn’t done yet on the earth!
This was a great story. I'm watching this on Easter and it seems fitting to me. I can't imagine how it felt for his family to grieve losing him only to find out that he was alive. I'm sure that had to be indescribable. Harrison is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing it.
The boat capsized a few days before his 5th wedding anniversary too. His wife must be in really crazy emotional rollercoaster, to learn of his death, then been told he survived, then she had to wait for days to see him because of his treatment
@@doodletime1512 That's crazy! I can't remember how many days he was down there. Did he make it home in time for his anniversary? Or did she at least know he was alive by their anniversary?
"... but his grades were probably below sea-level", omg. That's was a great story about overcoming fear by staying calm and believing it's not your time. I had read the news about this, however, your video was far better. Nice 👍 And well done Harrison, it's inspirational that you kept cool when many others wouldn't/couldn't. Although sad for your friends
Do you have any idea how painful it would be to suffocate in high-CO2 air? It's like inhaling mustard gas, it gradually gets worse, you cough and thrash around until you go hypoxic and pass out.
It's human nature to make sense of mysterious circumstances, but what happened to this man was nothing short of a miracle and God's hands in something that would otherwise been fatal.
Thankful for the knowledge the saving crew have to be able to save him and he was very lucky to make it alive. He is smart too to make it that long without panicking.
Harrison seemed to have phobia and severe PTSD from this experience and became a DIVER to help overcome his fear. His mental strength & determination kept him alive down there and it allowed him to go on mentally living after the fact instead of simply surviving to the next day. Respect

@@Raytheman581 Where was it said it was "needed"? It was just a desire out of His love but nowhere in the word does it say he needed anything.
I can hear this story over and over. Astounding and inspirational.
I've heard this story a good few times but I never knew the dude actually decided to go back to the water. Not even just go back to it but delve beneath it dude is a champ for that.
Great video! I followed the story when Harrison was first rescued and never heard of what happened to him afterwards. What an awesome dude!
What an amazing story. I cried when he was finally found like the sheer emotion at that moment nor could I blame him for never wanting to step foot in the ocean again but he DID. I love this so much though of course it’s still tragic as lives were lost.
this is the stuff of legends. Harrison is a real hero
It's faith and determination that kept him alive for two days long. It was scientific knowledge that rescue him.
God is merciful.
Such a sad, but wholesome story. Congrats Harrison!
That man was saved by an angel. Amazing.
a human not angel
I think it was a scuba diver
Human not angel !!! What about other guys,they died 🤡
@strangevideos3048 What about them? It was there time to go! 🤡 An angel was with the survivor
I do think that God has blessed this dude by surviving so long in the air pocket and getting rescued
Why did he trap him there in the first place?
Test of faith I guess
@@Bungger I never understood that “test of faith” thing. If a god is supposed to be all knowing, why would it need to test something out for a conclusion? And in a cruel way no doubt?
But that logic, did God smite the rest of the crew that drowned trapped in their quarters alone, in the dark, and upside down? Listen, if I were the guy, I would probably pray my a** off to any god. And if I survived, maybe I’d be more religious…or maybe I’d believe in more randomness.
Our finite mind can’t not even begin to try to understand an infinite God or the death of the others even if it seems bad to us! Thank you Jesus for saving this man’s life his work isn’t done yet on the earth!
He summoned all his years of training as a man taking this long in the bathroom with little clean air to breathe.
Good to hear that the guy managed to deal with his PTSD and now actually likes diving.
This man blows my mind!!!! And his rescuers as well, a great and complex victory! Thank you for this most excellent vid.
Mad respect this guy! I wish I had half the mental strength he does!
Faith can move mountains...and water, obviously ♡
This man is a hero. I hope he recovers to his fullest
He's a hero just for living and being lucky?
@@MrBud85Yes, yes he is.
@the_spoopiest no. "Hero". Do your research first on his life :)
Where. Is. The. Documentary?! This man needs to be filthy RICH from this. I never want him to have to work ever again.
This man survived my personal nightmare. Mad respect.
A courageous man. He was very lucky, resourceful and resilient, and I'm glad he could overcome his trauma. Sound survival advice too !
Trully a miracle that he survived. ❤❤ also he overcome the fear. His a very strong mentally and physically. Thanks for the amazing story Brew. 💪😊🙂
This was a great story. I'm watching this on Easter and it seems fitting to me. I can't imagine how it felt for his family to grieve losing him only to find out that he was alive. I'm sure that had to be indescribable. Harrison is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing it.
The boat capsized a few days before his 5th wedding anniversary too. His wife must be in really crazy emotional rollercoaster, to learn of his death, then been told he survived, then she had to wait for days to see him because of his treatment
@@doodletime1512 That's crazy! I can't remember how many days he was down there. Did he make it home in time for his anniversary? Or did she at least know he was alive by their anniversary?
He didn't get lucky. He did the right things at the right times. He acted instead of waiting and he lived as a result.
Great testimony. A very blessed man. Glad I watched this. 💙🙏🏾
I’ve heard this story many times, but I never knew he became a diver! What a twist!
"... but his grades were probably below sea-level", omg. That's was a great story about overcoming fear by staying calm and believing it's not your time. I had read the news about this, however, your video was far better. Nice 👍 And well done Harrison, it's inspirational that you kept cool when many others wouldn't/couldn't. Although sad for your friends
i like the part when brew said his grades were below "c" level. the funny
lol @ 12:45 All his grades were below C level... that's a good one 🤪
Mad Respect to Harrison! Facing his fears head on! Good on you mate!
Do you have any idea how painful it would be to suffocate in high-CO2 air? It's like inhaling mustard gas, it gradually gets worse, you cough and thrash around until you go hypoxic and pass out.
I would be indebted until my last breath to that rescuer.
Timing of recommendations is always strange to me and insane, bruh
It's human nature to make sense of mysterious circumstances, but what happened to this man was nothing short of a miracle and God's hands in something that would otherwise been fatal.
I take it god wasn't bothered about the other 10 crew that died?
It was their end but maybe wasn't his. God or not, this is nothing short of a miracle none the less
Not a miracle. He only did what ge had to do to stay alive and hope for a rescue
What an incredible guy! I'm not sure if I would be able to even go near the ocean after that.
A thing to note.
If he had anxiety problems and was t calm down there. The air would not have lasted him for near 3 days
Please be reminded That he survived all this in pitch black.. what a legend
This is a teaching moment for all, he is a strong man. I don't know if I could handle them days like that!
I love brews videos! He always explains stories and topics in a way that is easy to digest!❤
An easy way to sip 🍵
2:12 Luffy only came if there's a meat on board. I think with cola, only Franky might come. But... he have more to spare.
He can't have, he can't swim 😂
Getting his breathing under control would have been the hardest part, I'm sure. It'd have been so easy to use up all his air very quickly. Cool guy.
Harrison you’re built different you got that real certified fighting spirit salute from Liverpool UK
"His grades were below C-level"
I audibly scoffed
This is why I won't ever go out to sea without a bottle of coke with me!
Thankful for the knowledge the saving crew have to be able to save him and he was very lucky to make it alive. He is smart too to make it that long without panicking.
