He was discovered by divers hired to investigate the sinking and recover the bodies.
- skhr0680 5y agoThat video is classic. My favorite part is when the diver sees the man and “mission control” thinks the diver is panicking from seeing a corpse and tries to get him to calm down, then the swearing while they’re trying to figure out what to do.
