Dude in sunken ship rescued after 3 days underwater

Forgiveness requested if anyone else posted this..

A body recovery mission in 90ft of water became a rescue mission.

Where I first heard about this story, which provides a different perspective of the survivor thanking god for his rescue. The Deadly Miracle

I wonder how they got him up, if he was far enough down that the diver had to use part-helium gas.

Edit: Oh it says they brought him up in a diving bell and then put him through decompression.

Go to 13:35 in the video; he went into a bathosphere.

That's incredible.

I hardly made it out of bed this morning.

In reply to ddavidv:

Take the soapbox elsewhere.

Somewhere in there is a joke with a prince and a bank routing number, I just cant find it yet...

I wonder how long he would have sat on the ocean floor waiting for the Cavalry....

You know, you don't see those of us who believe in God coming in here and trying to flounder this thread. Maybe you guys should keep that to yourselves.

Regardless of who he thinks played a hand in it, it is amazing that he was rescued.

+1000. That was an ignorant and hateful rant.

I can't imagine the fear and the joy that man felt.

Man. That would have been a lonely terrible death. The look on his face when the diver broke the surface...

BAMF/lucky Mofo combined right there

Every day he wakes, his day will be brighter and better any anything we could imagine.

incredible story

unfathomable

I didn't know Donald Duck was a rescue diver.

If I was that diver, I would have made a fecal contribution to my wetsuit when that hand grabbed me!

In reply to pinch valve, yep, no diving weights needed with that pair dragging behind ya.

And, the consideration of an alternate viewpoint is not hateful, ignorant or a flounder. ddavidv presented it as just another take on the story, with no judgement or attacks against anyone. While the author certainly had opinions, it was the religious folks who turned it onto an attack on the OP. Why must you always take such offense when you read a valid counterpoint? Jeez, yours is not the only opinion out there.

My only reaction to the piece ddavid posted was Angry atheist is Angry.

In reply to pinchvalve:

I'm assuming that is directed to me since I'm the only one to directly mention religion in this thread. To me the link to the article was presented as a substitution for the poster's own thoughts. That coupled with another post led me to post what I did. In other words I didn't bring religion into this thread nor would I ever have posted in this thread otherwise. I'm pretty tolerant of everyone's belief or lack thereof, but when you post something (again unless you state otherwise I accept your link as your opinion) saying i'm an idiot for believing, I won't sit idly by.

I propose that we mark every thread that's turned into an argument with a little firecracker, or better yet, a turd... so the rest of us can avoid clicking on it.

^^^ I see what you did there.

Anyway, the conversion ratio is six feet to one fathom so he was 15 fathoms down.

Hardly unfathomable you exaggerative piece of work
