A few years back, in 2016, while immersed in the depths of the seawater, Jacob lost sight of the life-saving safety rope. As his lifeline vanished he could see the boat in which his companions were abroad slowly started fading in the horizon. 

Despite giving full efforts he failed to keep up with the safety trawler. He was stranded in the sea for more than six hours. As he could see dusk setting in slowly, he decided to film his “final moments”.

In the video, he could be heard saying, “So that’s it. The sun goes down … That’s a wrap on old Jakey.”

And in the very same video, instead of sharing how fearful he was feeling, he narrated the whole incident that left him in that fateful scenario.

From desolation to rescue

Ultimately,  as luck would have it a rescue team spotted him in the water, finally bringing him to the shore. “I think they picked me up eight miles from where we were diving.”, added Childs.

In such a precarious situation, he did not lose his calm. He later told Express, “It’s a long time to spend by yourself, and it’s a long swim back to shore.” He further added, “I was nice and warm in my wetsuit…I wasn’t overly tired as I was floating.”

This gripping tale of survival of unending willpower will remain etched in our hearts. Even in the face of the most treacherous adversities, the simplest of comforts can provide us with solace and hope.
