Atlantic Distress: Stick to it again


If you don't give up, God will come to save you.

Harrison O'Kenny is a 29-year-old Nigerian guy. On May 26, 2019, Harrison took the tugboat "Jason 4" to work.

On that day, the "Jayson 4", which was full of horsepower, traveled on the vast sea as usual, without any exception. However, just as "Jason 4" sailed 32 kilometers off the coast of Nigeria, the sea suddenly burst into a huge storm, and the hull swayed uncontrollably.

At this time, Harrison was in the bathroom. He felt bad about it. When he tried to go out with his companions, the ship sank. The horrified Harrison continually fell with the flipped hull, and the darkness quickly enveloped him. Of course, along with the darkness, there is sea water. In the darkness, Harrison felt that the water was constantly rising. He was terrified. If the sea went down like this, the whole bathroom would be filled up and drown sooner or later. However, what he feared did not happen, and the water quickly stopped rising.

Why is this? Harrison remembers that the bathroom and the office next door formed a cavitation area, so he tried to lean against the side. The darkness continually swallowed Harrison, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, Harrison painfully simmered in the cold water. Not only that, the unbearable hunger and thirst have challenged him again and again. Harrison felt that death was getting closer and closer to himself.

Just as Harrison was confused, he seemed to see his mother who was waiting for her son to return soon. Yes, the white-haired mother has to suffer the pain of losing her child. This is a sad thing. No, no, for the mother, I must live. Harrison opened his eyes, but it was still dark.

Harrison began to explore in the dark, looking forward to a miracle in the bathroom, let him find a little food and water. Unfortunately, no. Yeah, how can the bathroom have food and water? Harrison is discouraged. Harrison, who has been immersed in water for many hours without eating, appears to be getting weaker. However, his consciousness is sober.

Harrison began to recall things before the shipwreck. Has anyone entered the bathroom before himself? Yes, Neo has come in, maybe this greedy guy will leave something behind. Harrison regained his spirit and fumbled in the dark. This time, his hand moved forward in an inch.

Suddenly, Harrison’s hand touched a small can of hard and hard things. When he picked it up, there was a burst of joy in his heart. Harrison stroking with both hands, God, it’s cola, it must be cola, and Neo likes to drink Coke. Harrison ecstatically opened the can, and he sipped a big swig. Just as Harrison opened his mouth and planned to drink a second mouth, he seemed to hear the mother's voice: "Children, drink slowly, don't worry." How familiar the scene was when I was a child. Harrison fell into tears. He said in his heart, mother, do you know how lonely and fearful I am at the moment?

"For the mother, you must live out." For this only life-saving cola, Harrison decided to "enjoy" little by little to win time waiting for the miracle to appear. At this moment, Harrison, without the initial fear, he kept the body as still as possible to maintain his strength. At this time, Harrison heard the sound of the fish eating the surrounding bodies.

It was terrible, and Harrison, who was soaked in the sea in the dark, felt cold. I don't know how long it took, Harrison was once again awakened by hunger and thirst. He greedily picked up the cola and took a big sip, so sweet! Harrison suddenly thought, maybe this cola is a gift from God to save himself. The desire to survive is once again ignited, Harrison believes that there will be people organizing salvage when the tugboat crashes. Persevere, wait, persist!

I don't know how long it took, and the fascinating Harrison seemed to feel a little bright, and then something went swimming. Rescue, is it rescue? Harrison’s heart is ecstatic. He concentrated on looking for light. Just then, he found a diver approaching and extended a hand to him. Harrison was so excited that he immediately reached out and held the diver tightly, for fear of missing. "God, alive, he is still alive." The diver who thought he found a body was overjoyed.

Harrison was rescued and survived 62 hours after being trapped in a 30-meter deep Atlantic seabed without any protective measures such as wetsuits. It was the only survivor of the 12 members on board. This is a miracle. Many people know that after saying that if you don't give up, God will come to save you.
