The narrative is a chilling account of Harrison Okene's survival after a shipwreck at sea. He was on a tug boat transporting 12 men to an oil platform in Nigeria when the boat capsized on May 26th, 2013. As the boat filled with water, Harrison found himself trapped in the bathroom, which formed an air bubble allowing him to breathe. Over the next 48 hours, he heard fish eating the bodies of his colleagues and lived in fear of being eaten himself. After 2 days, he managed to escape the bathroom, and using debris from the ship, he made a makeshift raft to navigate the wreckage. After 2 days at the bottom of the sea, he was rescued by divers. Despite his survival, Harrison suffered from PTSD and nightmares due to his ordeal.
