17:15die because I've never experienced it in
17:17like you could still hear them a Sheltie

18:16three days what did you do in those
18:20three days to me when I was there I
18:23didn't even know that these are three
18:25days I was thinking it's just a day
18:27maybe get into the evening
18:29so what yeah I was shouting I was in my
18:31college shouting god help me gonna be
18:33god help me I keep on chatting to them
18:35than me
18:35he will be Chow ting cordial you so
18:38there must have been other air bubbles
18:40when they were also - yes and suddenly I
18:43would just had them I said - what I was
18:46boiling blue blue blue blue just drink
18:48water and he will pass out so I was
18:51posted a she get to understand I was
18:54doing any noise again so I was thinking
18:56maybe my end so I was just left let me
19:00try and go out from the boats by myself
19:03because everybody wallow buddy see hope
19:05yourself before how we hope you so I
19:07opened the door I came out I was not
19:10saying anything I was just touching
19:11filling their places and I saw a room
19:14becoming by my left and I opened the
19:18door I saw a lifejacket floating there's
19:20two lights on it so I picked the lighter
19:23boot on my boss axe after swim down to
19:26the water if I can be able to escape
19:28when I got down the water the code was
19:30too much
19:31my leg got free soft like come back are
19:34you able to find your way back back to
19:36the bubble where yes so again let me
19:41recoup back again so I have to like get
19:44the core virus after like tied him like
19:47a group at the door so I see no smokey
19:50signal I have to put it other entrance
19:52so as I'm swimming back when I see that
19:55I know that is where I was coming from
19:57okay so you've got you've got you've
19:59made yourself a roof little to be able
20:01to get back to that
20:04okay and now you're thinking to yourself
20:08my wife you know I don't want my wife to
20:11become a widow
20:12you know I've got a whole life in front
20:14of me and you're saying to God Lord you
20:17didn't give me this miracle job just for
20:21me - doctor - yeah what else was going
20:23through your mind and to three days do
20:25you think about drinking water about
20:28food but what about those things were
20:29you able to any nourishment at all no
20:33III because I know I have a sister noon
20:36because there is a place you normally
20:38have them and he's right down the water
20:40because it was close to the windows so
20:42when he went down that was the first
20:44place I went to the model so I know I
20:46have a sister nothing some was just dead
20:49so when I go down I try to comes back
20:52when I'm getting weak poured water on my
20:54body I will go back together
20:56so were you totally in the air bubble oh
21:00but you just your head how much of your
21:04body was actually in the bubble and how
21:06did you get to that position if if I'm
21:10in the water that I want to bring my
21:12head out which we about 3 meter yeah so
21:16I have to like break the fibers and the
21:19body of the vase you have to put them
21:20with your hands this is the fibers that
21:22made of the structure of the vest yes
21:25you broke them and use myself that's for
21:30my waist up
21:31we had a bubble my waist down we'll be
21:34in the water very very cool
21:39yo yo yo your limits to the Fatima
21:41seriously this is a miracle
21:46now what about the day that people
21:52showed up to rescue how did the rescue
21:55operation happen did you have in your
21:58mind that I'm sure somebody's gonna come
22:00and try and rescue me what was going on
22:03you might as far as getting out of that
22:05place you've made your own efforts you
22:07couldn't get anywhere you kept on having
22:09to go back to this air bubble you were
22:11in but did you have expectations that
22:13people will come for you
22:15what also was your expectation of God
22:17you know this when I was there since
22:21I've tried my best I could not come out
22:23to be I just decided further later we'll
22:27be doing as it is in every one because
22:28when I get to any difficulty their life
22:31I make the sign of course I would I make
22:33the sign of course our let's get true so
22:36when I did a sign of cross I will just
22:38come what I was having difficulties in
22:40terms of bridging so I have to put my
22:43mouth start preaching okay so by this
22:45time after all this time the oxygen and
22:48this air bubble is beginning to go so
22:51it's going to be hard for you together
22:54and the water was even rising okay so
22:58the water rights when I stand I stopped
23:00so I was just there just quiet so I
23:04slipped you were able to sleep in the
23:07midst of all this and then the rescue
23:10happens and then I was there and after
23:12some time I hated someone at the bottom
23:14of the face
23:14boom boom boom so the bottom of the vest
23:18is actually okay so I had a sound and I
23:21have to like go down to water again to
