NIGERIAN COAST -- Divers investigating the sinking of an oil boat off the coast of Nigeria said they never imagined they would find survivors.
Then they turned a corner and found Harrison Okene alive and breathing in a small air pocket under the boat.
They believe he survived in the pitch black for three days.
The 11 other people on the ship drowned when it capsized but divers were able to give Okene air and safely bring him back above the surface.
