John Capes was a passenger on the HMS Perseus, a British submarine that sunk in the Mediteranean Sea in 1941. He was either the luckiest man alive, or the unluckiest, depending on your point of view. Capes managed to escape the submarine, survived a dangerous rise from the depths, and swam five miles, only to find dry land which was occupied by the enemy. He suffered even more after the war, as many people doubted his story. Despite the video length, the story is only eight minutes long. -via Digg

Truly sad he did not live lone enough to witness his vindication. I suspect that such an event like what he went through no doubt changed his tall tale ways, only to be called a liar for telling the truth.
