“He’s alive!” The gripping rescue of a ship’s cook

This is video taken by rescuers of the very moment they found Harrison Okene trapped in a pocket of air in a capsized tugboat. This compelling record emerged on Tuesday showing the unlikely rescue of the ship’s cook. Harrison had  survived for almost three days trapped in the air bubble. The divers from the DCN global diving company had been searching the tugboat for bodies, but in the video they can be heard shouting that a man is “alive” in the ship. Mr Okene was the only member of the 12 person crew who survived the sinking. The divers can be seen helping Mr Okene put on scuba diving equipment to swim out of the sunken ship. Once back on dry land, the cook was kept in a decompression chamber for 60 hours before he was reunited with his family.
