Youtuber found an iPhone lying in the river about 15 months, and to his great surprise it still works. Even more, Michael Bennett was able to return the phone to the owner, which is stored on the gadget is very valuable for messages from her deceased dad.
Mr. Bennett, who was 741 thousand subscribers on the YouTube channel, found the phone while scuba diving in the Edisto river in South Carolina.
For several years he found a variety of things, exploring the bottom under water, including Golf balls and shark teeth, however, he was shocked when found on the river bottom this device.
In an interview with WDAM 7 he said: «I came across something that looked like rope, can be connected with car keys, and when I pulled it, I saw the phone in a waterproof case and said to myself «No, this is absolutely incredible»».
«We charged the phone. When he joined, there appeared a request to enter your password in order came a stranger».
Determined to find the owner of the phone, Michael pulled the SIM card inserted in another phone, and thus was able to learn that the owner was Eric Bennett, his namesake, which was quite strange.
As it turned out, she lost gadget during a family trip (with my family of Bennett, who Michael has no relation besides the same last name) 19 June 2018. She didn’t notice you dropped it, taking things out of their boats, and her husband Jason later tried to find the phone in the river, but he failed.
But though the loss of a phone is something that some point of time faced by many, his discovery was far more valuable for Erica, because it kept messages from her late father.
Eric says: «It was very emotional because in the last message I received from him, says «hi, I’m calling you, but I can’t get through, so I thought I would write you a message. How do you feel?» And I think he called me after that. I’m pretty sure that it was father’s Day.»
So, from this story it is possible to extract 2 of the lesson. First, think waterproof cases for phones can be quite effective. Second, it turns out, the youtubers can be quite pleasant and helpful and not just annoying.
