The Man Who Survived for 18 Months On an Island After His Submarine Sank

[Big-Chungus]

Imagine suffering through one of the most painful things a human can exprience, witnessing 3 of your crewmen die, having to swim 5 miles afterwards and running across multiple towns for 18 months to avoid capture until you were saved, just to be called a liar and an idiot for the rest of your life

[drunkdrivert-]

I can't imagine how it would feel to go through all of that, and then getting insulted and humiliated for the rest of your life.

Brave villagers who looked after him.
They all faced being executed if they had been caught.

[sarpbakrsoy]

"There were no witnesses to back up Capes' story." Maybe because... they um... y'know... died.

[jonchappell]

this is honestly one of the most terrifying situations i can think of

[lolplayer]

When it said 18 months i assumed 18months underwater --- Edit the comment is outdated since he changed the title.

[nubberton]

Have you ever wondered if there's just a person stuck at sea right now and no one knows they're alive?

[okashi]

What I thought this video would be about:
- A man who survived 18 months underwater
- A man who survived 18 months in the ocean
- A man who piloted a submarine alone
- A man who lived alone on a deserted island for 18 months

None of those were true...

That's an amazing story. As you pointed out, there's not usually survivors in sub accidents. I can't imagine the terror of it all, and keeping it together enough to save yourself is probably no easy task. Belated props to this guy

[YoItsAnton]

This would be an insane story to turn into a movie that I would definitely pay to watch.

I survived 35 years (so far) after I fell off my bike.

Submarines are a no-go for me. I don’t think I’ll ever be open to the idea of going in one.

"They bolted the escape hatch from the outside" then wtf is the point of installing an escape hatch.

Edit: 2.7k likes, damn I figured my comment would get lost and not in the top few comments these months later. Thanks everyone

[aether]

Getting recommended this now by YouTube is crazy

[piousmen]

Give him a break guys, hes never done this before and I believe it was an honest mistake.

[pulkitmohta]

The video's title literally made me think that a person survived INSIDE the Submarine for 18 months after it sank.

Edit 1: thanks everyone for the likes. My first time having more than 2000 likes.
Edit 2 : since the title has been changed, instead of commenting, "look at the title" and stuff like that, I would request you all to read the pinned comment.

This man really said “a side quest” like he was reading a script for gta vi

[NotSoGoodGamer]

Suggestion: The man who survived both atomic bombs

[SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

Luckily this has never happened to any of our submarines

[duggeeo]

when your life's at risk, you'll find yourself able to do a lot more than normal
