Check out that video that Lou took.

Believe it or not, his iPhone could work underwater for 28 hours.

It's on my website.

You will see the fear in his face, the exhaustion, the fear.

That really spoke to me, seeing a video like that.

I say the word courage, that they didn't cast blame.

They never got in arguments.

They were just trying to trade ideas to keep fighting on a little bit longer.

And to me, it was kind of this quiet courage.

It wasn't one person of the three taking a leadership role.

That probably wouldn't have worked.

It was a quiet courage to just keep going, get through the night.

Then it was get through the morning.

Then it was get through the afternoon.

Yeah.

Again, I go to Lou, him bouncing back because he actually did give up, but Sonny talked him out of it.

It'd be so easy to have the pain be over with.

Other survivors have said that as well.

Just take your life jacket off.

It'll be over quick.
