What do you do when a normal day of work becomes something a little more….. deadly? 

Well, that’s exactly what Harrison Okene experienced when the tug boat he was working on sunk to the bottom of the ocean, and his only path to freedom was waiting in the only air bubble in a room. 

Welcome back to Tragedy with a View.

The outdoors are a beautiful that can be filled with light and bliss and many different ways to bring yourself closer to those you love and yourself. But they can also be filled with terror and death, imminent and oppressive. Join me as we dig into these stories that inspire you to be just a little bit more careful while you’re in the outdoors.
