Video: Nigerian Man Survives Three Days Underwater

This newly released video shows the dramatic rescue of man who survived days underwater - in the wreckage of an overturned boat in the Atlantic Coast near Nigeria. As a South African rescue diver probed the capsized vessel, it was assumed that all he'd be doing would be recovering the bodies of those who died. However, as he was swimming through the murky water on May 28, a hand reached toward him. It was the ship's cook, Harrison Okene, who had somehow survived for about 60 hours in only his underwear in the freezing water by breathing from a small air pocket and taking sips of Coca-Cola.
