Show notes

The heat is deadly. The smell of sweat, hot bodies and fear permeates the air. It's becoming less and less breathable. Mai struggles to breath. She is 26 and in the prime of her youth but she is tightly surrounded by people who are sweltering in the heat just like she is. People are crying for their families and loved ones. The person standing next to her faints and falls to the floor. There is no way out. The strongest among them have tried force and the smartest have tried to figure a way out but nothing has come of their efforts. They are all going to die. This is the story of 39 people who died inside a cargo trailer while they were being illegally trafficked from one country to another.

Show notes

Imagine: You are are a rescue diver. You have been called to help find survivors of a tug boat that overturned in bad weather. You and your co-workers decided that on the first day, the weather is too rough and the conditions are too dangerous. By day two you know that you are are looking for dead bodies. The boat sits 100 feet deep and here thewater is dark. Not only that but the swiftly moving water that is kicking up sediment makes the visibility close to zero. Your only choice is to search by feel with your hands with very limited vision. The first day that you spend on the seafloor, was difficult. You and your 3 man team, had to break your way through two locked doors and navigate your way around a boat that landed top down on the ocean floor. Even with the poor conditions and the very cold water, you found 4 bodies, bringing them to the surface so their families can say a final farewell. The following day you enter the water, hoping to find the 8 remaining crew. You are feeling around, not knowing whether there are predators in the boat with you. A voice coming through your mask from the mothership, trying to guide you as best they can through the boat. Suddenly, you see something in arms reach of your face It’s a hand, you tentatively reach toward it, touching it, expecting cold dead flesh. When you grasp the hand firmly, its fingers curl around your hand. You are holding the hand of a survivor who has been underwater for 60 hours. This is the story of the survivor, Harrison Okene.
