      I know I'm a bit late, but it's cool to know you visited my hometown of Luray. The organ you were talking about was designed to take hammers similar to a piano and hit different stlagtites (from the ceiling) and stalagmites (from the ground) at different distances and strength to get a certain note out of them. They still host a charity event where an entire orchestra plays in the caverns as well.

      It was really great and uplifitng. It's also worth noting though this video was an object lesson that allowing dangerously ignorant well meaning people to even exist in the environment with a problem costs human lives. Their ignorance doesn't make them less human, otherization rarely helps, and understanding that every situation and often people's opinions are more complex that we give them credit for even when they barely know the talking points. People are born good- they are raised or inculcated to be the problem, and treating them as nothing but the problem damages many of the systems we have to solve problems in the world at all - but pretending their ideas (or even just their assertions) have equal validity and voice because their personhood does is how many others who are uninformed come to see them as equally valid, and thus generates further harm.
      It's a very complicated discursive point to throw in a paragraph especially in nice vague terms in the style of hers, but it always makes me anxious when such good spiritual/human affirming points are made so well but leave handholds for many kinds of rhetoric to shape the plowshare into something confused or even harmful.

    The first time I saw this, I really hyper focused on the terribleness of people, from the gawkers to the carnival to Lee and the dentist. The fake news crowd and the telegraph impersonator. Just all the awful things that people do.
    The second time, however, I managed to see past them. To see the good parts of humanity: his incredible brother Homer who never stopped, his friend Gerald who likewise gave it his all, the most randomly awesome reporter in Miller, and even though the rope pull failed, Bertrand still helped. All of the miners who worked for weeks as well, and the people before that who helped cut down trees and shore up the walls.
    The terrible parts are still just as terrible, but sometimes the good people can shine brighter than it. Thanks for the video, it really is an incredibly well done story from IH.

    Quick little tip for anyone confusing stalagmites and stalagtites: Stalagmites grow up from the floor, while stalagtites grow from the ceiling. You can remember these because the T in "stalagTites" looks like a spike hanging from the ceiling, and the M in stalagMites looks like two spikes pointing up. A pair of a stalagmite and -tite that have fused together and now form a pillar are called "stalagnates", and I don't have a trick to remember that one :(

    • @CruelestChris

    Wendigoon, who played Floyd in this, is a recent favorite of mine. He has a lot of videos looking at analog horror, SCP, conspiracy theories, etc. but also does some more serious videos like his serial killer iceberg series and missing person case videos. But he always makes a point when ending a video on a serious or dark topic of emphasizing that even if we're fascinated by all these dark topics and tragedies, there's still a lot of good to be appreciated in the world and that these stories are the exception, not the norm.
    I dunno if many of his videos would be suitable for reactions, but you would be hard pressed to find a more wholesome person who talks for hours about the least wholesome things that happen.

      The first Wendigoon video I watched was the Love Boat experiment, but really what turned me into a fan is what you've said. It's so easy to play into the creepiness and darkness of serial killers, cults, etc to make the video "cooler" but his wholesomeness and positive outlook is pretty refreshing.

      Sometimes. Most of the time, however, it's better to step in instead of just standing by and doing nothing while horrible things happen unimpeded. So many lives lost throughout history because people were too afraid to be anything more than bystanders - or worse, gawkers. Perhaps that is right sometimes, but I could not think of a more dangerous mindset in the long run.

    When talking about surviving without food and water normally the rule of 3s is applied. 3 minutes without oxygen, 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food. However it also all depends on the environment like you can die in a matter of hours in the desert without water. Plus the experiment that came up with the 3 days for water was also stopped well before the subject was in danger so its probably longer

    Here's Miller's first-hand account of his first descent to Floyd.
    "It was my first trip into a cave, an amateur who knew nothing about it and had no fears-only eagerness.
    Head-first we started into the hole, barely listening to the directions and advice offered by Homer [Collins] who, with a flashlight, followed for a short distance.
    At the very beginning it was necessary to get down on hands and knees. We were in an ooze and slime. The way was downward, not sharply at first, but gradual. Soon Homer and the others turned back and without a light, we butted here and there before finding which way the winding, twisting pathway led. Now it was necessary to get down on my stomach and slide and squirm along, using elbows, and toes to propel me-and occasionally to slow up when I slid along too quickly. In some spots the ooze and slime made a toboggan slide of the passage.
    Before I knew it I reached a sharp incline and could not break my speed. The incline made an elbow turn and I caromed head-first against some wet mass. It groaned and moved.
    In panic I tried to push back off this thing but the steepness of the incline prevented it. Along the slippery sides I could get no hold and for minutes-it seemed longer-I was pressed against this horrible mass of wet something that moved a little and groaned pitifully, weakly.
    Finally my groping hands found a crevice and I pushed back off this thing and tried to get back up around the turn. Head-down, my feet and arms seemed to have multiplied, octopus-like. The more I struggled, the tighter I lodged. I was hot and cold by turns and surprisingly weak. I struggled and pushed to no avail. Gradually reason returned and I knew that below me was Floyd Collins; that I had landed on him with my full weight, light as it was, and that this other human being near me-though weak and pitiful-was alive.
    By now, in weariness, I had stopped struggling and-miraculously-it seemed, I was not fast-bound. …
    Cautiously now, I worked back down … [and] managed to push my right foot alongside Collins’ body. Except for one leg, it was impossible to get beyond his shoulders, although I did work one arm down to his hip despite his groans and pitiful, inarticulate sounds.
    It was impossible to get past him, however, so I pushed my right foot as far down as I could and then doubled my left leg, and, lifting Floyd’s head, placed my knee down where his head had been and rested his head on my knee … and it was in this position that I later fed him while interviewing and seeking some method of effecting his release.
    This time, however, I attempted to relight a lantern that had been knocked down when I crashed into him … [but his words], which I could not then make out, gave me an impression that the lantern light hurt his eyes. I left it unlit, as I started to return to the surface."

    It really is a terrible situation. The media circus is what got the most support and seemed like it gave them a better chance to save the guy, but if it weren’t for all the people hanging about, they probably could have gotten him out in no time because the cave wouldn’t have gotten so precarious

    3:55 Stalactites hang from the ceiling, so you have to hang on _tight_ to keep from falling. Stalagmites jut up from the floor, so you _might_ stub your toe on them.

    It's interesting being able to tell if you're watching the original version or the remade version pretty quickly just by the starting bit of the story. For example, the bit at the start where he tries to move multiple times to escape but "He cannot". That repeating statement to indicate just how trapped he is isn't present in the remade version. I still personally prefer the way that the narrative flows in the original version. So on a personal level I do appreciate seeing reactions of the OG version, but it's also interesting to see reactions to the remade version.

      As much as I love IH, he left out some details. No one but Floyd ever claimed to see the grotto so there is a chance he was making it up for whatever reason. Honestly I think that he was lying about it seeing as when they finally got his body out they dug from the opposite side. It's not definitive proof but I feel it is evidence. I think Floyd's real goal was to find a way into the mammoth cave system and then dig out an entrance. The reason I think this is because it was done before by another man named George Morrison.

    Been lurking on your videos for a bit Lila but after watching this one I just wanted to speak up for a moment to tell you how nice you have been to watch. You come across as friendly and personable but also very sensitive and humble, when you give commentary it always seems well thought out, I like how you can appear bold and spunky without coming off as obnoxious or preachy like the kind of people who love the sound of their own voice, which is a pitfall I've noticed a few other reactors fall into. Sharing your own personal experience with those hardships and how it helped define your own empathy is a perfect example of how to express your own take on something and do it right, being honest and concise and focusing on the truth rather than reducing things to an emotional reaction or picking sides and condemning whoever seems to be in the wrong. I honestly think we need a lot more of that in the world right now, especially when considering how many things in recent years have become so much more divisive for so many people.

    2:40 Talking about video gams kinda like this, Jacob Geller made an amazing video about what makes caves so scary and attractive at the same time, as well as talking about a few games that capture that feeling pretty well.

  • @kamikaze00007
    @kamikaze00007 Рік тому +1

    I'm honestly getting vibes or rather a strong hunch about this case that a huge part of the cave-in was actually caused by all the people outside the cave. Vibrations from simple things like footsteps and movements above the ground travel much farther than what we normally think. Some animals even detect these very minute vibrations in order to hunt. Data servers even have to have anti-vibration precautions because the tiny vibrations caused by a single hard drive, when multiplied into ten or more, can cause mechanical failures due to synchronization of these vibrations.
    If we consider the large amount of people nearest to the cave, all their activities (even including those times the guys who would go into the cave aren't present), the combined mass and exerted pressure onto the ground by their belongings and movements as well as the tools and machinery that later got brought in, it is highly possible all of these actually triggered the cave collapse. I'm no expert, but that's what my hunch is telling me, especially with how seemingly coincidental the timing of the collapse began.
    It feels to me like this was meant to be an incident where a very small amount of people would actually be able to do much better, safer, and actually save the guy. Unfortunately, the majority chose wrongly if that were the case. An early case of "the hype literally killed him" or so. Something just tugs at me and telling me this about this one case, like it was a split road of history, and the decision was unknowingly made at that point that sealed his fate early on.

    For reference, stalactites hang from the ceiling, stalagmites rise from the floor. They are often paired, because they are the result of erosion, generally from water flow.

    No idea if this would be considered disrespectful to Floid and his family, but you could TOTALLY make a high budget, 4-5 episode animated series on this story. Like, Netflix Castlevania type animation.
    I mean between all the potential for metaphorical visuals like the cave being like a maw, and potential moments of tension and action like Jerald literally throwing himself against the cave in desperation and trying to clear rubble, it could be something incredible
    This is one of my favorite videos by Internet historian, up there with The Gentleman Pirate on his incognito channel. It was great seeing you go through the journey thid video provided, amazing stuff as always

    • @ReiSyre62
      @ReiSyre62 Рік тому

      In some case yes, a disrespectful in another way but Floyd story nowadays is easily available and some books are covering his and others who involved in rescuing.
      I mean, some tragic events are even made into mainstream media like Titanic sinking ship, Space Disastrous Launch & Many-many Movies based on Tragic of WW1 & WW2 event. If a Tragic Tales can give you money and opportunity then it's inevitable

    Very good video, always love to rewatch internet historian vids. And I only recently discovered you, but you've immediately become one of my favourite youtubers and the only full vtuber I regularly watch. It's really ironic how you as a vtuber seem more genuine and human to me than many youtubers and streamers with constant face cam and everything. And since you might be interested (feedback and all that) in the reasons for why I like your videos and have subscribed:
    1. you seem very genuine (including your reason for why you started vtubing, to which I can relate since I'm currently stuck in a similar situation of not feeling like I have much control over my life)
    2. you're clever (as evident by your ideas for helping in the situation and you also pay close attention to wording, mood, etc. so you managed to predict that this wouldn't be a happy story just from that start with "the cave demands sacrifices", which some other people would have either forgotten or written off as just a dramatic opening to the story)
    3. you don't talk over the video or go off on long off-topic tangents; you keep it all concise and "coherent", which is something very important to me on react videos, since it is essentially like watching the video together and when the other person constantly talks over it or goes off on youtube gossip or some other completely off-topic stuff that can be very annoying. I actually found you because I was looking for reacts to internet historian vids (because I wanted to rewatch them but with a little extra, so it isn't just rewatching the exact same video) and a bunch of reacts had this exact problem for me.
    Anyways thanks for the great video, keep up the good work and always have fun doing it. Hope you have a nice day and that goes for everyone else who reads this too. ♥

    That blank check really gave me hope but then the government being the government screwed all those people out of all that money. Same shit different decade, right? I’m just glad Floyd was finally able to get out of the cave and laid to rest!
    This story reminds me of the movie 127 hours, guy was rappelling down a canyon or Mountain but he got his arm stuck under a huge rock. Had to cut off his arm but he at least got out alive. I’ve never seen the movie but I remember the trailer. There’s also the buried, a guy wakes up buried underground and I think the whole movie is in this dark claustrophobic space with just a lighter for light.

    And yet I love watching everyone else's emotional trauma unfold as the video goes on. It's a tricky situation.
