    Amazing Diver Rescue

    Per email from Capt. Mike in Singapore - ex-Special Forces buddy in Vietnam.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yek41...ature=youtu.be

    This is the audio & video feed from the hat-camera of the diver who found the sole survivor of a AHT (Anchor Handling Tug) that sunk off the West Coast of Africa a couple of months ago. The vessel had been laying in over 30 msw for three days and this saturation dive team were sent in to undertake the body recovery.

    I cannot begin to imagine the reaction from the diver when he finds his first body and takes the body by the hand only to have the hand squeeze him back and the epic rescue operation begins.

    This is a real miracle. Just goes to show never give up hope. I hope this guy bought a lottery ticket!

    I'm a bit claustrophobic so it gives me the shudders just watching that.

    Just think of the horrible fate the guy would have had if they hadn't found him.

    I presume the diver was being directed by the man on the surface with a plan of the ship.

    WOW! I can't imagine what was going through Harrison's mind after three days, probably a lot of prayer. Amazing!
