After two days trapped in freezing cold water and breathing from an air bubble in a upturned tugboat underneath the ocean, Harrison Okene was sure he would die. A torch light pierced the darkness.
Ship's cook Okene, 29, was aboard the Jascon-4 tugboat when it capsized on May 26 because of heavy Atlantic ocean swells around 30 km (20 miles) off the coast of Nigeria, while stabilizing a fat tanker replenishing at a Chevron platform.
Of the 12 people aboard, divers recovered 10 dead bodies while a remaining crew member has not been found. Somehow Okene survived, breathing in a very four foot high bubble of air as it shrunk in the waters slowly rising from the ceiling of the tiny toilet and adjoining bedroom where he sought refuge, until two South African divers eventually rescued him.
