How can they say he was doing proper preparation when they didnt even bring proper flashlights and used a phone in a plastic baggie? They did zero prep.
Somehow they also forgot that periodic rising ocean tides are thing in you know, the ocean smh There are literal ocean tide charts telling you the time of low tide and high tide.
Of all the caving disasters I have watched over the years, these guys have to be the least prepared of any of them. "Partially charged cell phone? Check. Plastic baggie? Check. Okay, let's do this!"
Greg prepared for this cave trip and consulted cave divers. But he enters the cave with his cell phone wrapped in a plastic bag? Yeah he really prepared for it.
Ironically the phone survived in working condition with enough battery that it was still on when they went back, so had he attached the phone to his arm he probably would have made it.
9:34 "Greg, adapting to the environment, put his phone in a plastic bag, to use as a flashlight". Wow, he sounds so incredibly well prepared and attuned to the dangers at hand. Anyone else would have brought an actual flashlight, but not Greg, he's too savvy for that.🤪
People make more preparations for simple vacations, than this man made for a dangerous adventure. These people just put the lives of the rescuers at unnecessary risk because of their stupidity.
Not only that, he left the two females in the entrance in case needed. Such a visionary! Such an explorer! Not even Worsley, Captain of the Endurance would have had such a vision in his Antarctic exploration!
His mistake wasn't the lack of a flashlight. How do you think we evolved? You have to adapt to adversity. A few more years there and he might come out with night vision like Riddick 😂
He did all this “PREPARATION” then went in there with only a smartphone torch for 2 people. I feel for his family, but that’s on him. You can’t fix stupid!
This is weird to me because if he was a cave diver they take three lights and if one goes out you turn around! The rule is two lights but most take three 🤔
Exactly. Mean I'm not diver or cave diver, but I do urban exploring/some cave exploring (mainly Paris Catacombs, videos on my channel btw haha) , but I have a main camera light, 2-3 flashlights, and 10 battery backups on me at all times just in case something goes wrong.
@salvadorpalma8173 this might be testimony gained from his friends. Greg may have believed himself "very prepared", and managed to convince his friends the same, but to experts who have been through multiple dives in this manner, it would be far from it.
Anytime I see any story around Hawaii, i know its not going to end well. We've been to Hawaii twice, and people definitely do not take the danger of exploring those islands seriously enough.
Exactly, people don't even realize hiking off-trail can kill you from falling into a hidden lava tube. There was that guy who went missing from his own BACKYARD doing yardwork and fell into one and killed him that was on his own property.
My friend permanently damage her knee because she got knocked down by a wave, there was sign warning of the current and waves ?. When I asked her why she did it, she couldn't explain why . She just did not think anything would happen because it did not look that bad.
Yea, but they also told their friend to go back in the cave without a light, nor any prep, instead of calling for rescue. I think it was more nerves than sense.
Where was the common sense when they urged the one friend to go back in? If it was safe enough for them to do that why didn’t they join the male friend in the effort?
@@openyaeyez Because he was the only one to go in with Greg. So he should’ve been the only one to go look for him. The guy friend wanted to be a follower, so go find your leader then.
I hate how people wanna be reckless and NEVER think about ALL the innocent people that will have to risk their own wellbeing to save their reckless stank asses. Honestly I have no sympathy at all for people that do not value life, whether it's their own or other people's lives.
Dude, you do realize these rescuers wouldn't have a job if people didn't act like morons right? Rescuing people is voluntary, people CHOOSE to do that as a career, no one is forcing them to put their lives on the line to save people.
@@xpertrex5991 Exactly, my girlfriend received hundreds of messages like these after she fell 281ft down a cliff a few years ago. It was on the news and social media and people were absolutely relentless. People were saying they should have let her die because it was her fault for being stupid and being around a cliff at night without a flashlight. But the truth is, she is not really an outdoor person and I brought her there. We thought our car was getting towed in the distance and in a panic we started running, and I guess my gf had no idea she was running near a cliff, and then she fell. Accidents happen, that's why they're called "accidents".
@@RedLineShortFilms Most SAR members are volunteers, we are not paid for our time (although sometimes reimbursed for gas, materials, etc). Yes, sheriff departments and firefighters participate and help coordinate, but they already have jobs. I do cave rescue, and there are some truly stupid people who put themselves in extreme danger, and we have to put ourselves in danger to get them out.
You could offer me £10m and i still wouldn't go cave diving or potholing. I cannot think of anything worse. The first time i saw a video about The Nutty Putty Cave it confirmed all my worst fears. I've sky dived, bungee jumped off a bridge in New Zealand and done a lot of climbing (i summitted Kilimanjaro and trekked to Everest Base Camp 30 years ago) so i like adrenaline pumping activities, but caves?!. NO WAY!! 😱💀
I think bungee diving us just as risky as cave diving. You usually got teenagers on summer vacation strapping you in who haven't a clue yet, nobody's ever checking if the cords "had enough" till its had enough and snaps and someone falls to their doom!
My mom was the adventurist type, and we grew up backpacking,rock climbing, surfing, skiing, but there was one sport she prohibited, and that was cave diving. A phone in a baggie to light the way in any cave is Not being prepared! Redundancy, redundancy, redundancy is how our mom trained us, triple options, like having a plan a, a plan b, and a plan c. Anyhow, I am so sorry for Greg’s loved ones, for they are the ones who suffer. RIP Greg. He had so much more life to live. Such a loss.
None of the hobbies you mentioned is adventurous by any standard. And tree of them not even remotely. She probably just wanted that nothing bad happened to her kids and gave this background for you for not thinking of her like some squared old fashioned mom that liked to kill joy. Intelligent strategy of her.
He probably did plan meticulously, then became arrogant and thought he was better than all the experienced people and didn't need all the fancy equipment.
“Greg, adapting to the environment, put his phone in a plastic bag” Yeah, just like a fish growing legs and walking on land 😂😂😂 sounds more like cartoon Wyllie pulling out a match from his fur lmao
Hey guys, it's super dark in here, and all we have is a cell phone in a plastic baggie... Oh, and the water is rising at an alarming rate. We should probably continue going further! What in God's name 🤦♀️ I'm sorry, surely I must have misheard you when you described this man as doing proper preparation. He had no business in that cave or any cave. I know it sounds insensitive, and please don't take that as me trying to lessen the tragedy his death must have had on his loved ones. But please let this be a lesson.
What I've noticed with these spelunkers. (Btw that is a horrible name for ANYTHING😂) If you are not in grave danger are u really cave exploring. The whole reason of them signing up for this is to get a thrill of almost dying. Then being able to conplete it and talk about it with friends. THATS IT!!!!! Most caves only have 1 entrance. So all of the obstacles you went thru u have to go thru again.
As soon as they realized the battery was running low + noticed rising water levels, the imminent peril of their situation should've registered.. You know they had to have thought about turning around and heading back. But against any reasonable judgment, they pushed ahead. Who knows why.. Maybe the thought of impressing the girls clouded their ability to reason? Just a thought..
@chadwinchester5713 must be ghostly bad spirits down those dark caves whispering to their ears to go further down. Any caves underneath the earth's surface is plain terrifying.
No sugarcoat... Cavediving - The unnecessary and very unintelligent act of entering a dark dangerous hole in the ground and adding a greater chance of drowning than being on a sinking ship...to see nothing different than you can see above ground.
Yeah, that makes the most sense. Otherwise, the phone wouldn’t be glowing. If it was, they’d have immediately found it when it first dropped-the only source of light in a pitch black cave would be screamingly obvious. That they couldn’t means the screen/battery saver had turned off the lights. Without someone touching it, how’d the light come back on for the friend to suddenly “find” it when he went back in?
Alibi? He couldn't find Greg and Greg wouldn't answer. What was he supposed to do, go off wandering in the dark and possibly die too? I'm glad he took the phone with him, he's not as stupid as Greg was.
@@EGarrett01how do you explain his finding the phone that Greg had when he disappeared? It’s pitch black, not even enough light to reflect off a shiny case. Yes Greg was stupid to go in so unprepared, but the friend went in too, similarly unprepared-without even a phone. Somehow he got the phone that had been taken deeper in with Greg, after it allegedly disappeared in the water? It just doesn’t make sense. So why would he lie about it?
Doubt it…,as why would he need the phone to himself….2 people can share a light, it’s not like they were fighting over the last tank of oxygen. I doubt he grabbed the phone and ran, partly because 2 people could remember their way out of a cave better than one, so why not go together. And people drop or lose items pretty regularly in these cave diving or exploration videos.
@@memphiswest2”It doesn’t make sense”. How many times have you been lost in that particular cave with rising water and a cell phone in a slick baggie? My guess is zero, so not sure what you base your “doesn’t make sense” for something you have never experienced. And if you watch many of these videos, people dropping items is pretty common. Or he may have ducked down a flooded side passage with the phone….thinking it was his way out. But as he got more than halfway realized it wasn’t the exit, then drowned as he tried to return or when water then rose and closed that passage. The cell phone and baggie could be buoyant enough to be pushed away from his body by the currents. And many people now are hesitant to report dead bodies they find in the woods, etc, as someone on the Internet will always be like “yeah sure they “found” the body while walking their dog or hunting…they must have known where the body was, so they did it.” Unless you were a witness or have other evidence, you are just guessing and making the lives of those affected a bit worse.
Unfortunately Greg let his ego dictate what he was going to do. He knew it wasn't a good idea, especially with no light!! It was irresponsible and negligent.
It never ceases to amaze me how idiotic people can be! Greg being among the worst of them! Boy Scout motto, "Be Prepared". Clearly he forgot and it cost him, his life.
@@caro12347 Even an 8 year old scout would know to take a head lamp into a cave. A 10 year old would know just how cold the pacific ocean is. The girls were the ones he should have listened too.
@@karlshaner2453 or 3 lights. It's like the one most important thing IMO. Not sure if he was trying to impress the ladies or what, but when I was in a cave on the Hanabanilla river checking out caves my buddies crawled into a small hole with the guide... A farmer. I stayed back. F that noise.
Right? Like even if it fell and landed face down, it would still be giving off some light, and therefore could be seen easily as the only source of light in there.
I'm perfectly fine knowing that I'm not meant to go everywhere. Not everything is for me and I'm cool with that. I'm also cool with watching videos of people with danglies big enough to say, "Naaah, I'm gonna go ahead and go anyway!“ I'm living that soft life, but they make it possible for me to still see all these wonderful places from the safety of my very marshmallow life.
those guys get the privilege of dying doing what they love... many die hating or regretting most of the life they lived. surely, these "madmen" are the happier people!
They always get rescued or pulled out in bags by people who don’t get to be so careless with their own time and safety. Maybe the madmen are “happy” but they’re the ones getting into dumb situations - bet you they don’t end up happy
@@stanislavkostarnov2157I mean he was like early twenties? Not really a lot of time to enjoy life. And all the ppl around him certainly aren't happier for it. It's not a pretty death and his friend probably has PTSD.
The common theme I’m getting from all these cave diving tragedies is the fact that many don’t use proper judgment and turn back. They just keep pushing ahead hoping to discover something leading to death.
They literally crawl into their own graves, never to be seen again. You couldn’t pay me enough to do that. Same goes for bungee jumping, sky diving, or any other form of “thrill-seeking.” Those are all stupid games that have stupid prizes. You don’t wanna win that prize lol
The adrenaline rush is linked to the inherent risk involved with the activity. There's probably nothing particularly exciting about seeing a rock wall submerged in water.
Another excellent video. Thank you. I went spelunking a few times in the Catskills but never liked it, and when it came to daring each other to go through some tiny hole I was always the one that went back outside and waited. Caves don't do it for me - especially caves near the ocean.
Im assuming that once Greg got into the room and lost his phone, he he stepped into a very steep drop off into deep water in total darkness, panicked and drowned. This had to have happen suddenly and silently like right after he spoke to his friend about the missing phone once in the room. Maybe Greg got stuck on something underwater and couldn’t resurface initially as well cause I’m curious on how his friend didn’t hear any distress before he left the cave the first time. Sure Greg was in the isolated room but no scream, water splashing sporadically or sounds of a struggle…strange. If I’m missing something or somebody has the details fill me in…
More likely he slipped on a rock, knocked himself out with a skull crack on another rock and rolled into the water. He was in flip flops or bare foot. Rocks are slick in water filled caves! Happens all the time in Hawaii with tourists who don't understand basics.
Using a phone as a flashlight, talking to a few other people that explored caves elsewhere but not this one. It never said what he died of but, this seemed to be about him not the group.
Hi born and raised on Oahu I saw ur video about the blowhole on Maui and personally pulled people from the water near a blow hole in Hwwaii Kai lots of deaths, and injuries there to if you need any ideas called "Halona Blowhole" spent my childhood fishing a surfing near here the beach itself is one of the most dangerous in Hawaii, I always warn tourist and new comers.
Agreed. My brother's lived there for years on Maui. The locals would go to the tourist beaches during a big swell to watch the tourists get pounded by the waves! I got to watch a couple ambulances come and take people to the hospital and I didn't even live there.
I feel like people have a weird assumption that because they are on vacation they cant get hurt. People end up taking absurd risks for no reason aside from just assuming theyd be fine. Always respect nature because if it comes down to it, nature will absolutely win.
“The light was a big help” - Told by someone who’s never been in a cave. The darkest possible conditions are in a cave. You literally can’t see your hand up against your face.
Unfortunately what happend to him is very simple to explain. Him trying to swim under water in a cave with a freaking cell phone in a bag for light caused him to get disoriented and drown. I feel bad for his friends and family. But he never should have been attempting cave diving with absolutely no gear and no training.
"Unexpected death" yeah it was completely beyond belief that ill-equipped bros who ignored warning signs would end up in a life-or-death situation. Who could have seen such a thing coming???
You could be the guy who’s the best cave diver in the world and who literally wrote the book on cave diving like Sheck Exley and still die from just one tiny mistake.
@@nickcosti1685of course but let's put it this way. If you make no mistakes and die it's like a striker scoring a worldie past you in soccer. It's just sheer chutzpah from the universe nothing you can do. The more mistakes and lacking prep you do the more you expand the goal size plus start adding multiple strikers facing you and more balls to try and save. Basically you are making what is a small risk you can't ever truly eliminate into something a lot more guaranteed.
He drops his phone and although it's emitting light, they can't find it so his friend ends up waiting 20 minutes and heads out. Why would they not be looking and talking the whole time? There's only the two of them and they both need the phone to make it out alive.
Right?! It doesn’t add up. I think Greg wanted to take the light into the squeeze, but the friend was rightfully scared & wanted to go back. He needed the light to do that, though. Maybe he panicked and there was a scuffle between them (that the friend doesn’t remember because it was during a complete panic). The friend got the light and ran out, not knowing his friend was unconscious or drowned from the scuffle because, again, he was in a total blind panic. As he neared the cave entrance, he became sane again. He had to say something to explain why he was alone, and with Gregg’s phone. So he hid the phone, then realized later it’d be discovered & he’d need to explain why he had it; so he agreed to go back in so he could “find” it.
"Filling him with a sense of wonder and 'respect' for the environment..." "Instilling a robust discipline..." I sure as hell didn't get that from how he prepared himself for this journey. If you respect nature and it's environment then you should know what you're getting into and prepare for it. Discipline would reinforce the need to be extra prepared, I guess he didn't learn that from his ROTC training. I'm sure the Army acknowledges the need to be prepared for anything and everything. He sure as hell didn't embody any of those traits.
Why do I feel something off? Like a murder case or sth… So sorry for those friends of his that griefs and most likely innocent but sth is way off.. 1. How could he get out without flashlight? 2. When he got back inside to selfless help Greg. How can he easily find a cellphone that couldn’t be found before? 3. How can Greg dies only 75 feet from the exit if he can also walk back like his friend without a light. Yes I know its really insensitive of me but this feels way off
The narration said this guy did "meticulous planning" but their only source of light was from a cell phone?? I am not a cave explorer, but somehow I doubt that is considered good planning. Very sad story. I'm very sorry for the family and friends grieving.
Even just the fact that it was super cold water they were in without a wet suit, not aware of the amount of time they had been in the water could also have potentially killed them. No matter which way you look at it, the girls were the only ones who showed a lick of sense by refusing to go in there. They were seriously unprepared in every single aspect of this endeavor.
I live here in Hana, Maui, and during peak season every year it's absolute chaos on that highway. People also fall off of cliffs and do stupid $h^7 like this all the time.
Greg certainly seemed like a great guy, and his loss is incredibly tragic. However, his tendency to be "fully prepared" seems like it was a bit overstated considering his willingness to dive an unfamiliar cave without even having a flashlight. If you're having to improvise by putting your cell phone into a sandwich baggie... you aren't even remotely prepared to be cave diving. RIP to this poor fella, though. He certainly seemed to be carving a commendable path through life for himself, all for it to be cut short by a simple over-eagerness to seek adventure. My sincere condolences to his family and loved ones.
Duuude! I'm soooo prepared! I have a ziplock for my half dead phone! No dude, that is the definition of "not prepared" Tragically, over confidence strikes again.
Exactly my thoughts... they found his body not far from the cave ... and how did his friend get out? Like in darkness without a phone? Or were there 2?
Im confused. Did Greg’s friend not call for him? Why did ge get the phone and not look for Greg even a little? How did Greg die? Maybe this channel left out a ton of info
I'm assuming the body was in the room, since divers saw it under water. Sounds like that room had a deep drop-off, and either the shock of complete immersion or a slip and concussion led to immediate drowning.
It's such a cool/interesting feeling having been a subscriber to a now pretty popular channel since pretty much the very beginning/day one...I can't remember exactly how many, but I don't think you had any more than a couple hundred subscribers(max) and a single video out, when I first found the channel. So happy to see you up to 131k. It's almost like how you feel a special bond for a child or now young adult that you watched grow up their entire life. Keep up the awesome work, man!
He was NOT prepared at all if the only source of light was a phone in a plastic bag. I would have never entered a cave with person so irresponsible. I really wonder how his friend felt safe when he got out that bag for his phone? IF he really was a certified cave diver and/or cave explorer he should have known better. At least 3 flashlights per person, lanyard so its not so easy to drop and a few emergency light sticks i would have brought with me. Then the both had probably survived. To bad that he died but at least his friend who trusted him with his life survived.
“He wanted to see a world most people would never see”? “Going deeper and deeper in the cave trying to find the secret passages that they could get into” ( heaven) Mission accomplished
You made it sound like Greg was an experienced caver, but exploring a cave with nothing more than a single cell phone is more like what an inexperienced person would do. Unfortunately, it's easy to make bad decisions when you're not fully aware of the risk you're taking.
Immortality Syndrome at work here. “Bad stuff happens to everyone else, not us. Our wet cave exploration gear consists of us wearing just a pair of shorts in narrow squeezy caves made of razor sharp lava rock, and my half-charged phone in a plastic bag for light. And the tide is coming in. Bro ... let’s do this. Whooop whooop WHOOOOOOP!!!”
Hardly an unexpected outcome when the "planning" involved using a phone in a sandwich bag for light,.. 🤔 Sad for his family & friends & hopefully a lesson for everyone who hears of it.
I stayed at Hana for a few days during my trip to Maui before the pandemic. I was always told there weren’t any beaches that were suitable for swimming there! Indeed, I saw the violent waves on a sunny day. I never dreamed that there were accessible tunnels there though. Hana was one place that I tried to be extra careful because of how secluded it was. Not too dangerous to drive, but accessing the roads depends on good weather too much for my liking. It’s such a beautiful place, but taking caution is essential.
I just don’t understand how you’d see water levels rising in a cave and think “yeah let’s go deeper”. I mean it’s sad these guys passed away but it’s an almost ridiculous how people are oblivious to danger
"The two girls looked at each other" (and said, "Are you nuts, Greg??) Smart girls. The water is rising. "Don't worry. I am prepared with this cell phone in a plastic sandwich bag!" And that's the judgment his friend trusted.
The lack of organisation was extremely reckless and it was bound to end in disaster, a cell phone is not a torch. What happened is my worst nightmare and my heart goes out to Gregory and his loved ones.
I'm wondering that too. How could his friend lose him when he was standing just a few feet away. How could they lose the only source of light in a pitched dark cave? Seems like you would at least see it go somewhere even if they dropped it in a current, which they said there was none. I'm beginning to wonder if the friend had something to do with it but I have no idea. The details of the death are lacking, which leads to a lot of speculation.
@@GR-bn3xj yeah something here definitely doesn’t add up. The friend said he found the phone the second time in, but couldn’t see a light that bright in total darkness the first time? And he made it out with no light?? Maybe he had the phone the whole time. I’m confused over the cause of death because rescue wasn’t that long at all, what actually happened to him?
So, basically, if you are in a cave with water, and you notice the water starts to rise, and you have one phone in a plastic bag as a flashlight.... Um, maybe, like, seriously, maybe, just maybe DON'T GO FURTHER IN !!!
There are so many wonderful things to explore in this vast world. Why do some people decide, from all possible things, to explore small dark caves that are extraordinarily dangerous? What exactly is there to see there? Rocks? You can see rocks everywhere without having to put yourself in such a huge danger.
When people pretend they are worms, this is what happens. As far as science tells us, hominids came from the trees; that's why climbing trees feels easy and natural (we are literally built for it).
How can they say he was doing proper preparation when they didnt even bring proper flashlights and used a phone in a plastic baggie? They did zero prep.
Bingo
They were arrogant
Somehow they also forgot that periodic rising ocean tides are thing in you know, the ocean smh
There are literal ocean tide charts telling you the time of low tide and high tide.

Ironically the phone survived in working condition with enough battery that it was still on when they went back, so had he attached the phone to his arm he probably would have made it.
Nah, he lost the phone when he slipped and cracked his head on a rock and then drowned just 25 feet away from the cell phone@@freddymars2014

The cave isn’t luring anyone to it’s death, the people are irresponsibly going there and losing their lives.

Okay, so he used the phone for its flashlight but couldn't be bothered with the clock or weather apps?
His mistake wasn't the lack of a flashlight.
How do you think we evolved? You have to adapt to adversity.
A few more years there and he might come out with night vision like Riddick 😂
As somebody once said...Every time I don't go cave exploring, this doesn't happen to me!

Shaking my head.
Yes, it was a “major concern” but they continued deeper into the caves. Doomed.
People are so irresponsible... No flashlight, the water rising and the claustrophobic cave. What did they expect?
flashlights are overrated for cave exploration. just take a plutonium sticks and do it with stylus.
I agree glow sticks are the best way to explore caves or underwater caves.
And they sent the friend back in to find him instead of calling rescue and leaving it to the pros?
He was fully prepared, he had a plastic bag over his phone so he could use it as a flashlight.
what could possibly go wrong.
I won't go cave diving anymore, not after watching The Descent. 🫣😱
"Prepared meticulously".... going into a dark cave with just a phone for a flashlight? Doesn't sound very prepared at all.
This is weird to me because if he was a cave diver they take three lights and if one goes out you turn around! The rule is two lights but most take three 🤔
Exactly. Mean I'm not diver or cave diver, but I do urban exploring/some cave exploring (mainly Paris Catacombs, videos on my channel btw haha) , but I have a main camera light, 2-3 flashlights, and 10 battery backups on me at all times just in case something goes wrong.
Two guys in a pitch black cave with a single, dying phone flashlight? Yeah they really prepared intensely 😏
They meant mentally prepared, got over his fear of dying in there.
And his phone was PARTIALLY CHARGED???!!!!
Lolol!!
When you consider the reality of what actually happened, the statement “he prepared meticulously” is ludicrous.
this kind of makes me questions this channel.
@salvadorpalma8173 this might be testimony gained from his friends. Greg may have believed himself "very prepared", and managed to convince his friends the same, but to experts who have been through multiple dives in this manner, it would be far from it.

Those two women had common sense to refuse to join going in the cave. If only their friends had half of that sense.
For real. As a human, I'm proud of them.
Yea, but they also told their friend to go back in the cave without a light, nor any prep, instead of calling for rescue. I think it was more nerves than sense.
Where was the common sense when they urged the one friend to go back in? If it was safe enough for them to do that why didn’t they join the male friend in the effort?
@@openyaeyez Because he was the only one to go in with Greg. So he should’ve been the only one to go look for him. The guy friend wanted to be a follower, so go find your leader then.
Right........@@Jus4fun-mg5xg
I hate how people wanna be reckless and NEVER think about ALL the innocent people that will have to risk their own wellbeing to save their reckless stank asses. Honestly I have no sympathy at all for people that do not value life, whether it's their own or other people's lives.
Dude, you do realize these rescuers wouldn't have a job if people didn't act like morons right? Rescuing people is voluntary, people CHOOSE to do that as a career, no one is forcing them to put their lives on the line to save people.
Also no human is perfect and doesn’t make risky decisions from time to time. Having no sympathy at all is just plain sickening.
@@xpertrex5991 Exactly, my girlfriend received hundreds of messages like these after she fell 281ft down a cliff a few years ago. It was on the news and social media and people were absolutely relentless. People were saying they should have let her die because it was her fault for being stupid and being around a cliff at night without a flashlight. But the truth is, she is not really an outdoor person and I brought her there. We thought our car was getting towed in the distance and in a panic we started running, and I guess my gf had no idea she was running near a cliff, and then she fell. Accidents happen, that's why they're called "accidents".
@RedLineShortFilms. You got a point..... aight aight true enough bruh. Lol. Respect.
@@RedLineShortFilms Most SAR members are volunteers, we are not paid for our time (although sometimes reimbursed for gas, materials, etc). Yes, sheriff departments and firefighters participate and help coordinate, but they already have jobs. I do cave rescue, and there are some truly stupid people who put themselves in extreme danger, and we have to put ourselves in danger to get them out.
- Hey man, the water level is rising
- Yeah that is concerning, but let's continue down through the cave anyway 🧠
You could offer me £10m and i still wouldn't go cave diving or potholing. I cannot think of anything worse. The first time i saw a video about The Nutty Putty Cave it confirmed all my worst fears. I've sky dived, bungee jumped off a bridge in New Zealand and done a lot of climbing (i summitted Kilimanjaro and trekked to Everest Base Camp 30 years ago) so i like adrenaline pumping activities, but caves?!. NO WAY!! 😱💀
I think bungee diving us just as risky as cave diving. You usually got teenagers on summer vacation strapping you in who haven't a clue yet, nobody's ever checking if the cords "had enough" till its had enough and snaps and someone falls to their doom!
Yep I'm with you,all the other activities if something goes wrong you will most probably die straight away,being trapped in a cave in the dark,nope.
My mom was the adventurist type, and we grew up backpacking,rock climbing, surfing, skiing, but there was one sport she prohibited, and that was cave diving.
A phone in a baggie to light the way in any cave is Not being prepared! Redundancy, redundancy, redundancy is how our mom trained us, triple options, like having a plan a, a plan b, and a plan c.
Anyhow, I am so sorry for Greg’s loved ones, for they are the ones who suffer. RIP Greg. He had so much more life to live. Such a loss.
1 is none, 2 is done and 3 is fantastic
So wingsuit flying was completely A-OK then?
None of the hobbies you mentioned is adventurous by any standard. And tree of them not even remotely. She probably just wanted that nothing bad happened to her kids and gave this background for you for not thinking of her like some squared old fashioned mom that liked to kill joy. Intelligent strategy of her.
@@Neomalthusiano rock climbing is definitely not without its risks
"meticulous planning to be as safe as possible" he didn't even bring a real flashlight. For a cave exploration.
He probably did plan meticulously, then became arrogant and thought he was better than all the experienced people and didn't need all the fancy equipment.
“Greg, adapting to the environment, put his phone in a plastic bag”
Yeah, just like a fish growing legs and walking on land 😂😂😂 sounds more like cartoon Wyllie pulling out a match from his fur lmao
It's so difficult to have empathy for this guy.
I know...He was a wally Brain.
It’s difficult to have empathy for anyone
@@Cinerarythat’s psychopathic
I mean, sure why didn't he have a flashlight, but it still is very sad, he died a very tragic death, wich is why I don't do cave exploring
Brave young men do dangerous and stupid adventures sometimes. The one that cannot relate to it, are not a man. RIP Gregory
Hard to feel that bad for anyone who goes into a cave totally unprepared and their one lifeline is their iPhone
Especially if they have Verizon......
It was the latest version!🤨😠😤
@@bordereau1😂Exactly
Yes, definitely an iPhone user. An Android user would have been better prepared.
@@CrackheadHuntersDopeDealer🤣🤣🤣😭😭
Hey guys, it's super dark in here, and all we have is a cell phone in a plastic baggie... Oh, and the water is rising at an alarming rate. We should probably continue going further! What in God's name 🤦♀️ I'm sorry, surely I must have misheard you when you described this man as doing proper preparation. He had no business in that cave or any cave. I know it sounds insensitive, and please don't take that as me trying to lessen the tragedy his death must have had on his loved ones. But please let this be a lesson.
What I've noticed with these spelunkers. (Btw that is a horrible name for ANYTHING😂) If you are not in grave danger are u really cave exploring. The whole reason of them signing up for this is to get a thrill of almost dying. Then being able to conplete it and talk about it with friends. THATS IT!!!!! Most caves only have 1 entrance. So all of the obstacles you went thru u have to go thru again.
🤭😂😁🫡
As soon as they realized the battery was running low + noticed rising water levels, the imminent peril of their situation should've registered.. You know they had to have thought about turning around and heading back. But against any reasonable judgment, they pushed ahead. Who knows why.. Maybe the thought of impressing the girls clouded their ability to reason? Just a thought..
@chadwinchester5713 must be ghostly bad spirits down those dark caves whispering to their ears to go further down. Any caves underneath the earth's surface is plain terrifying.
Agreed.
A humbling and sobering reminder that death is never more than one ignorant choice away.
Nothing like untrained, unprepared people cave diving. What could go wrong?
Don't worry, he consulted with experts
Ah: Cave Diving the “sport” that combines all the horrors and dangers of going underground and going underwater 😅
No sugarcoat...
Cavediving - The unnecessary and very unintelligent act of entering a dark dangerous hole in the ground and adding a greater chance of drowning than being on a sinking ship...to see nothing different than you can see above ground.
Insert Drake meme:
"Go underground OR underwater?" Nah 👎
"Go underground WHILE underwater?" Yesss! 👍
😒
I think his friend used the phone to get out, & "going back in" was the only way he was gonna be to provide an alabi for having it
Yeah, that makes the most sense. Otherwise, the phone wouldn’t be glowing. If it was, they’d have immediately found it when it first dropped-the only source of light in a pitch black cave would be screamingly obvious. That they couldn’t means the screen/battery saver had turned off the lights. Without someone touching it, how’d the light come back on for the friend to suddenly “find” it when he went back in?
Alibi? He couldn't find Greg and Greg wouldn't answer. What was he supposed to do, go off wandering in the dark and possibly die too? I'm glad he took the phone with him, he's not as stupid as Greg was.
@@EGarrett01how do you explain his finding the phone that Greg had when he disappeared? It’s pitch black, not even enough light to reflect off a shiny case. Yes Greg was stupid to go in so unprepared, but the friend went in too, similarly unprepared-without even a phone. Somehow he got the phone that had been taken deeper in with Greg, after it allegedly disappeared in the water? It just doesn’t make sense. So why would he lie about it?
Doubt it…,as why would he need the phone to himself….2 people can share a light, it’s not like they were fighting over the last tank of oxygen. I doubt he grabbed the phone and ran, partly because 2 people could remember their way out of a cave better than one, so why not go together.
And people drop or lose items pretty regularly in these cave diving or exploration videos.
@@memphiswest2”It doesn’t make sense”. How many times have you been lost in that particular cave with rising water and a cell phone in a slick baggie? My guess is zero, so not sure what you base your “doesn’t make sense” for something you have never experienced. And if you watch many of these videos, people dropping items is pretty common.
Or he may have ducked down a flooded side passage with the phone….thinking it was his way out. But as he got more than halfway realized it wasn’t the exit, then drowned as he tried to return or when water then rose and closed that passage. The cell phone and baggie could be buoyant enough to be pushed away from his body by the currents.
And many people now are hesitant to report dead bodies they find in the woods, etc, as someone on the Internet will always be like “yeah sure they “found” the body while walking their dog or hunting…they must have known where the body was, so they did it.” Unless you were a witness or have other evidence, you are just guessing and making the lives of those affected a bit worse.
Unfortunately Greg let his ego dictate what he was going to do. He knew it wasn't a good idea, especially with no light!! It was irresponsible and negligent.
It never ceases to amaze me how idiotic people can be! Greg being among the worst of them! Boy Scout motto, "Be Prepared". Clearly he forgot and it cost him, his life.
I think he thought he was prepared
@@caro12347 Even an 8 year old scout would know to take a head lamp into a cave. A 10 year old would know just how cold the pacific ocean is. The girls were the ones he should have listened too.
I mean we see prepared and ill prepared people getting in these situations. So many professionals make mistakes.
@@TheQueenOfSheba not those ones. As I said. A 10 year old knows better than entering a cave without reliable light.
@@karlshaner2453 or 3 lights. It's like the one most important thing IMO. Not sure if he was trying to impress the ladies or what, but when I was in a cave on the Hanabanilla river checking out caves my buddies crawled into a small hole with the guide... A farmer. I stayed back. F that noise.
How on earth is it possible to lose your only source of light in total darkness? :-D
Battery was low so phone prob died
@@tinydreamno, the phone was still on
@@heroicsquirrel3195 yeah I realized I spoke too soon but couldn't find the comment again 🤣
But his friend found the phone to be still on when he entered the cave the 2nd time. So you think it was full play? @@heroicsquirrel3195
Right? Like even if it fell and landed face down, it would still be giving off some light, and therefore could be seen easily as the only source of light in there.
Claustrophobia warning? Oh hell yeah let's gooooooo!
I think I'm going to gag...!!
I'm perfectly fine knowing that I'm not meant to go everywhere. Not everything is for me and I'm cool with that. I'm also cool with watching videos of people with danglies big enough to say, "Naaah, I'm gonna go ahead and go anyway!“ I'm living that soft life, but they make it possible for me to still see all these wonderful places from the safety of my very marshmallow life.
those guys get the privilege of dying doing what they love... many die hating or regretting most of the life they lived.
surely, these "madmen" are the happier people!
I am not so sure @@stanislavkostarnov2157
They always get rescued or pulled out in bags by people who don’t get to be so careless with their own time and safety.
Maybe the madmen are “happy” but they’re the ones getting into dumb situations - bet you they don’t end up happy
Spoken like a true me.
@@stanislavkostarnov2157I mean he was like early twenties? Not really a lot of time to enjoy life. And all the ppl around him certainly aren't happier for it. It's not a pretty death and his friend probably has PTSD.
The common theme I’m getting from all these cave diving tragedies is the fact that many don’t use proper judgment and turn back. They just keep pushing ahead hoping to discover something leading to death.
They literally crawl into their own graves, never to be seen again.
You couldn’t pay me enough to do that. Same goes for bungee jumping, sky diving, or any other form of “thrill-seeking.” Those are all stupid games that have stupid prizes. You don’t wanna win that prize lol
what do you mean? they did have 7% battery left and a plastic bag in very good condition. They were just very unlucky.
@@Voysh2Voysh69I wanted to sky dive at least once in my life. I'm in my 30s now, that train has passed.
Most do probably turn back. But we never hear about their stories.
The adrenaline rush is linked to the inherent risk involved with the activity. There's probably nothing particularly exciting about seeing a rock wall submerged in water.
Gregorys level of preparation- "A Ziplock bag."
LMAO
Another excellent video. Thank you. I went spelunking a few times in the Catskills but never liked it, and when it came to daring each other to go through some tiny hole I was always the one that went back outside and waited. Caves don't do it for me - especially caves near the ocean.
Good survival instincts - you aren’t currently stuck in a cave, so you win at caving 🎉
Hey what was the name of the cave or cave system in the Catskills?
(I just want to google pics of it not actually go in them)
Im assuming that once Greg got into the room and lost his phone, he he stepped into a very steep drop off into deep water in total darkness, panicked and drowned. This had to have happen suddenly and silently like right after he spoke to his friend about the missing phone once in the room. Maybe Greg got stuck on something underwater and couldn’t resurface initially as well cause I’m curious on how his friend didn’t hear any distress before he left the cave the first time. Sure Greg was in the isolated room but no scream, water splashing sporadically or sounds of a struggle…strange. If I’m missing something or somebody has the details fill me in…
I was thinking same thing
I’m suspicious about the friend too
Good points, sus…
More likely he slipped on a rock, knocked himself out with a skull crack on another rock and rolled into the water. He was in flip flops or bare foot. Rocks are slick in water filled caves! Happens all the time in Hawaii with tourists who don't understand basics.
Maybe he saw the phone, dived, hit his head while resurfaceing, short of breath already, drowned.
Using a phone as a flashlight, talking to a few other people that explored caves elsewhere but not this one. It never said what he died of but, this seemed to be about him not the group.
Since he was only 75 feet from the entrance, I’m assuming that hypothermia got to him & caused him to drown as he was trying to find his way back.
@@a.evelyn5498being in pitch black darkness, a number of things could be blamed for his death!
Greg was in no way prepared. He didn’t even bring a proper torch. Stupid, stupid decision to go where he did.
Iphone 10 w cave apps
I'm screaming like, wth greg??!!!! What the (you fill in the blank) are you doing????!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"meticulous preparation" - didn't bring a flashlight
And no rope.
Their only preparation was how to get there.
Hi born and raised on Oahu I saw ur video about the blowhole on Maui and personally pulled people from the water near a blow hole in Hwwaii Kai
lots of deaths, and injuries there to if you need any ideas called "Halona Blowhole" spent my childhood fishing a surfing near here the beach itself is one of the most dangerous in Hawaii, I always warn tourist and new comers.
Anyone who lives in Hawaii is quite familiar with visitors doing dumb things and paying the ultimate price.
Agreed. My brother's lived there for years on Maui. The locals would go to the tourist beaches during a big swell to watch the tourists get pounded by the waves! I got to watch a couple ambulances come and take people to the hospital and I didn't even live there.
“Throughly prepared” - forgets a diving flash light like really
I feel like people have a weird assumption that because they are on vacation they cant get hurt. People end up taking absurd risks for no reason aside from just assuming theyd be fine. Always respect nature because if it comes down to it, nature will absolutely win.
@jasonvoorhees5640 as someone who transports those people, just be safe :)
He sounds just like the woefully unprepared people you occasionally encounter on mountains,people who just have no place being there.
“The light was a big help” - Told by someone who’s never been in a cave. The darkest possible conditions are in a cave. You literally can’t see your hand up against your face.
Unfortunately what happend to him is very simple to explain. Him trying to swim under water in a cave with a freaking cell phone in a bag for light caused him to get disoriented and drown. I feel bad for his friends and family. But he never should have been attempting cave diving with absolutely no gear and no training.
"Unexpected death" yeah it was completely beyond belief that ill-equipped bros who ignored warning signs would end up in a life-or-death situation. Who could have seen such a thing coming???
You could be the guy who’s the best cave diver in the world and who literally wrote the book on cave diving like Sheck Exley and still die from just one tiny mistake.
Except this was a PLETHORA of controllable mistakes...
Technically you could make no mistakes and still die.
@@nickcosti1685of course but let's put it this way. If you make no mistakes and die it's like a striker scoring a worldie past you in soccer. It's just sheer chutzpah from the universe nothing you can do. The more mistakes and lacking prep you do the more you expand the goal size plus start adding multiple strikers facing you and more balls to try and save. Basically you are making what is a small risk you can't ever truly eliminate into something a lot more guaranteed.
I don't blame his friend. I'm sure he was left with a situation where he didn't know what to do. He could have died too.
He drops his phone and although it's emitting light, they can't find it so his friend ends up waiting 20 minutes and heads out. Why would they not be looking and talking the whole time? There's only the two of them and they both need the phone to make it out alive.
Right?! It doesn’t add up. I think Greg wanted to take the light into the squeeze, but the friend was rightfully scared & wanted to go back. He needed the light to do that, though. Maybe he panicked and there was a scuffle between them (that the friend doesn’t remember because it was during a complete panic). The friend got the light and ran out, not knowing his friend was unconscious or drowned from the scuffle because, again, he was in a total blind panic. As he neared the cave entrance, he became sane again. He had to say something to explain why he was alone, and with Gregg’s phone. So he hid the phone, then realized later it’d be discovered & he’d need to explain why he had it; so he agreed to go back in so he could “find” it.
@@memphiswest2 I think you're spot on
They would of seen bruises or cuts on the dudes face. And he was found only 75’ from the exit. It does sound suspicious though@@memphiswest2
Darwin Award for ppl exploring this kind of caves with only ONE phone flashlight as a light source...
In addicted to these stores 😢😮😮😢....it's crazy how people are adventurous with their life 😮
"Filling him with a sense of wonder and 'respect' for the environment..."
"Instilling a robust discipline..."
I sure as hell didn't get that from how he prepared himself for this journey.
If you respect nature and it's environment then you should know what you're getting into and prepare for it. Discipline would reinforce the need to be extra prepared, I guess he didn't learn that from his ROTC training. I'm sure the Army acknowledges the need to be prepared for anything and everything.
He sure as hell didn't embody any of those traits.
Sometimes I regret that I wasn’t a risk taker when I was young. My motto was it’s better to be a live chicken than a dead duck! 😂😂😂
Why do I feel something off? Like a murder case or sth…
So sorry for those friends of his that griefs and most likely innocent but sth is way off..
1. How could he get out without flashlight?
2. When he got back inside to selfless help Greg. How can he easily find a cellphone that couldn’t be found before?
3. How can Greg dies only 75 feet from the exit if he can also walk back like his friend without a light.
Yes I know its really insensitive of me but this feels way off
I have the same thoughts
And what was the cause of death, how he die exiting. Something definitely weird
The friend wanted to go back, Greg didn't, so a fight for the light ensued. They both should have brought their own light source.
@@TrojansFirst Bingo.
The narration said this guy did "meticulous planning" but their only source of light was from a cell phone?? I am not a cave explorer, but somehow I doubt that is considered good planning. Very sad story. I'm very sorry for the family and friends grieving.
Even just the fact that it was super cold water they were in without a wet suit, not aware of the amount of time they had been in the water could also have potentially killed them. No matter which way you look at it, the girls were the only ones who showed a lick of sense by refusing to go in there. They were seriously unprepared in every single aspect of this endeavor.
I live here in Hana, Maui, and during peak season every year it's absolute chaos on that highway. People also fall off of cliffs and do stupid $h^7 like this all the time.
Ssiiiiiiiiighh...
Then I guess Greg's not the first, nor will be the last...!!
😡
You just know that anyone who goes caving with no more preparation that a polythene bag and a mobile phone for a flashlight is never gonna grow old...
I'm just as ready sitting at home with 60% on my phone as these dudes were
Willing not only to stupidly risk his own life, but also the lives of his friends. Nice.
Greg certainly seemed like a great guy, and his loss is incredibly tragic. However, his tendency to be "fully prepared" seems like it was a bit overstated considering his willingness to dive an unfamiliar cave without even having a flashlight. If you're having to improvise by putting your cell phone into a sandwich baggie... you aren't even remotely prepared to be cave diving. RIP to this poor fella, though. He certainly seemed to be carving a commendable path through life for himself, all for it to be cut short by a simple over-eagerness to seek adventure. My sincere condolences to his family and loved ones.
My thoughts exactly on this one.
Secrets? There’s nothing in these caves. Nothing. And even if there was something there, it’s nothing worth dying for.
Duuude! I'm soooo prepared! I have a ziplock for my half dead phone!
No dude, that is the definition of "not prepared"
Tragically, over confidence strikes again.
😆😁🫡
He was prepared....
For the Darwin Awards!!!
All we have to go on is the friends side of the story. How do we know something else didn't really occur in there?
Yeah its odd they dropped the phone but didn't stop everything to find it. But the friend finds it after going back in but did not find greg.
Friend is suspicious
Exactly my thoughts... they found his body not far from the cave ... and how did his friend get out? Like in darkness without a phone? Or were there 2?
The friends telling him to go back in is wild.. so dangerous they should have called for help straight away instead of risking himself
Im confused. Did Greg’s friend not call for him? Why did ge get the phone and not look for Greg even a little? How did Greg die? Maybe this channel left out a ton of info
So how did he die 75 ft from the exit? Did he come back out of the room? Im a little confused.
I'm assuming the body was in the room, since divers saw it under water. Sounds like that room had a deep drop-off, and either the shock of complete immersion or a slip and concussion led to immediate drowning.
Makes me wonder if the friend killed Greg when they were alone...
🤔
Eh ?! Don't think so Sherlock😂
Oh, I see!!! Take your cell phone wrapped in a plastic bag to explore a dangerous underwater cave. Brilliant!!!
It's such a cool/interesting feeling having been a subscriber to a now pretty popular channel since pretty much the very beginning/day one...I can't remember exactly how many, but I don't think you had any more than a couple hundred subscribers(max) and a single video out, when I first found the channel. So happy to see you up to 131k. It's almost like how you feel a special bond for a child or now young adult that you watched grow up their entire life. Keep up the awesome work, man!
Having watched several of your claustrophobic videos I have still not given up on water. I keep drinking it every day again.
He was NOT prepared at all if the only source of light was a phone in a plastic bag. I would have never entered a cave with person so irresponsible. I really wonder how his friend felt safe when he got out that bag for his phone? IF he really was a certified cave diver and/or cave explorer he should have known better. At least 3 flashlights per person, lanyard so its not so easy to drop and a few emergency light sticks i would have brought with me. Then the both had probably survived.
To bad that he died but at least his friend who trusted him with his life survived.
Probably a few hits of that legendary Maui Wowie.
Some people think equipment is 'cheating'. Like climbing Everest without air supply.
Cellphone in a baggie to go cave exploring is like me taking sewing string and a safety pen to go bass fishing...
“He wanted to see a world most people would never see”? “Going deeper and deeper in the cave trying to find the secret passages that they could get into” ( heaven) Mission accomplished
Lol 😂
Yes cave diving is a strict NO for me .
What do u get there ?
Treasure ? 😂😂
Even for Billions of $$ I will not do it .
You made it sound like Greg was an experienced caver, but exploring a cave with nothing more than a single cell phone is more like what an inexperienced person would do. Unfortunately, it's easy to make bad decisions when you're not fully aware of the risk you're taking.
ziploc baggie? check
exactly one cell phone? check
one brain cell? check
Alright, lets do this
Natural selection lesson.
Immortality Syndrome at work here.
“Bad stuff happens to everyone else, not us. Our wet cave exploration gear consists of us wearing just a pair of shorts in narrow squeezy caves made of razor sharp lava rock, and my half-charged phone in a plastic bag for light. And the tide is coming in. Bro ... let’s do this. Whooop whooop WHOOOOOOP!!!”
Going cave diving with only a phone in a bag for light does not sound well prepared to me...
Jeez. “hey let’s barely prepare at all”.
“Sounds great! Ready to go?”
Hardly an unexpected outcome when the "planning" involved using a phone in a sandwich bag for light,.. 🤔 Sad for his family & friends & hopefully a lesson for everyone who hears of it.
All that prep and no actual flashlight nor a back up. Bro def lied about prepping 😂
Man you take waaay to long to set up these stories, only to then end the videos very abrupt.
Its like spending too much time drafting the introductory paragraph to an essay and then writing the latter, the most important part, hastly
@@Jen1112111 exactly!!
The fact they said "Just go back in and get him out" is baffling, indescribebly baffling.
I stayed at Hana for a few days during my trip to Maui before the pandemic. I was always told there weren’t any beaches that were suitable for swimming there! Indeed, I saw the violent waves on a sunny day. I never dreamed that there were accessible tunnels there though. Hana was one place that I tried to be extra careful because of how secluded it was. Not too dangerous to drive, but accessing the roads depends on good weather too much for my liking. It’s such a beautiful place, but taking caution is essential.
I just don’t understand how you’d see water levels rising in a cave and think “yeah let’s go deeper”. I mean it’s sad these guys passed away but it’s an almost ridiculous how people are oblivious to danger
The cave " so you choose death "
"The two girls looked at each other" (and said, "Are you nuts, Greg??) Smart girls. The water is rising. "Don't worry. I am prepared with this cell phone in a plastic sandwich bag!" And that's the judgment his friend trusted.
Always respect nature or it will remind you why it deserves this respect.
Now I know where those stickers on the lawn mower deck came from…”Don’t put hands under deck with blades engaged”.
The lack of organisation was extremely reckless and it was bound to end in disaster, a cell phone is not a torch. What happened is my worst nightmare and my heart goes out to Gregory and his loved ones.
Technically all caves are hidden rooms 🤣 but all jokes aside, cave exploration is challenging and dangerous.
I didn’t think what ScaryInteresting did was that extraordinary, until I watched this.
Hi! I’m a little confused, maybe I missed a part. What was his actual cause of death? Was it drowning?
I'm wondering that too. How could his friend lose him when he was standing just a few feet away. How could they lose the only source of light in a pitched dark cave? Seems like you would at least see it go somewhere even if they dropped it in a current, which they said there was none. I'm beginning to wonder if the friend had something to do with it but I have no idea. The details of the death are lacking, which leads to a lot of speculation.
@@GR-bn3xj yeah something here definitely doesn’t add up. The friend said he found the phone the second time in, but couldn’t see a light that bright in total darkness the first time? And he made it out with no light?? Maybe he had the phone the whole time. I’m confused over the cause of death because rescue wasn’t that long at all, what actually happened to him?
@@estherdarling6509 I'm glad I'm not the only one wondering
Cause of death was lack of preparedness to the point of abysmal and absolute folly.
@@nathanielovaughn2145 no like, what caused him to die? Did he drown?
So, basically, if you are in a cave with water, and you notice the water starts to rise, and you have one phone in a plastic bag as a flashlight.... Um, maybe, like, seriously, maybe, just maybe DON'T GO FURTHER IN !!!
There are so many wonderful things to explore in this vast world. Why do some people decide, from all possible things, to explore small dark caves that are extraordinarily dangerous? What exactly is there to see there? Rocks? You can see rocks everywhere without having to put yourself in such a huge danger.
You nailed it 😂
A phone in a plastic baggie is how I prepare for a waterpark, not a cave! Actually, I think I prepare more than that for a waterpark
