My heart breaks for Chris. He knows how terrifying the experience was and he knows the fear his friends felt. He made it out of there to save them. He wasn’t able or even allowed to save them. The survivor's guilt would be unbearable
I heard this story like month ago from mrballen and it stays with u for a some time. Honestly the most depressing and horrifying story i have heard, it makes u sad and angry and the idea of being stuck inside a pipe miles away from freedom and underwater is such a nightmare. I rly feel for the guy who made it out, living with shit like this must be insanely traumatizing. Hope he will find a piece of mind one day.
two days TWO DAYS and Paria wouldn't even TRY I cant imagine the endless, overwhelming emotions all five men must have felt that whole time Chris' panic, anger, despair the others' desperation and fear, fighting that entire time to be heard and Paria just waited. for two days. heartbreaking doesnt even come lightyears close
@@Nephialt IKR? I was wondering what the difference was between the rescue(even though there was no plan for one) and recovery efforts, besides the obvious. If it was dangerous to rescue, would it not also be dangerous for recovery? Did they cut into the pipe? I heard they didn't, perhaps cost, safety issues. I don't know a lot about these things so I'm totally clueless and don't know what the right questions to ask are.
The fact that Paria was cleared of any charges legitimately pisses me off. Just the fact that they immediately gave up and started writing death notices WHILE THE MEN WERE STILL ALIVE, and yet received no punishment for their negligence, shows that there truly is no justice in this world.
I dunno, seems like they felt like the risk to lose more lives by trying to save them was to great. Which is probably why charges were dropped. Terrible situation regardless
The pipe incident made me physically sick to my stomach. The fact the company did NOTHING despite the men clearly being alive for days is just disgusting.
Im pretty sure they let them die because its easier to say it was an act if god instead of properly managed equipment. If they survived it would have been a crazy lawsuit, letting them die was an act of saving their asses. Fuck the world, I cant watch that part of the video because that story makes me cry every time.
@@lynnpere8340 I watched it because I knew it would make me angry, and boy has it made me angry. I know this was a while ago and things will have changed, but there are still companies out there who put profit before lives and it needs to stop.
@@comradekommandmentklaus1848 Not so sure tbh - capitalism would want to safeguard the workers as they would be expensive to replace. This is more like psychopathy at a managerial level.
Their is something genuinely evil about sending condolences before they were dead. It scary to think about how the men in the pipe were fighting for their life for two days not knowing they had already been written off as disposable.
The pipe incident is yet another reminder that corporations do not care about you. The decision to end your life in pain, in fear, and unable to breathe is a business move.
As someone who lives in Duisburg near where the devastating tragedy of the love parade occurred, it is painfully eerie to walk there. There is a memorial in the middle commemorating the lives lost and on the walls are white chalk/paint outlines of how close the people were standing next to each other. Regardless of what you believe in, the suffering and hopelessness is still palpable in the energy of the tunnel. Waking through there, you feel claustrophobic because the ceilings are low, wide, and arched. It's mostly concrete with few openings close to the center. It's also relatively dark with limited airflow. This heartbreaking tragedy affects lives of so many here.
As disturbing as it sounds to walk through, I think it's beautiful how the community has commemorated the victims and refuse to let the story fade away with time. Much love to you and to all those connected to the tragedy
I feel so bad for the police officer in the first part. You can tell just how devastated he was with the fact that the two people he talked to not even 10 minutes ago ended up dying brutally.
Feel terrible for the officer but it's hard to feel any sympathy for the 2 idiots in the car. Clearly showing off with their 100mph was more important than their lives. Warned once and they clearly didn't care.
I'm just happy that no one else got hurt. those two pricks had no guilt for nearly killing some pedestrians and drivers, and immediately went back to being an extreme danger for surrounding people. I really feel little sympathy for the driver especially, he had it coming and I'm just so glad there were no others involved in the wreck.
Yeah, why should he feel bad. You can't protect idiots from themselves. It was bound to happen sooner or later if they're that dumb. Just be thankful that no one else was hurt. If anything the cop probably saved an innocent life. Imagine if some kid was crossing the road.
I truly hope Christopher doesn’t feel guilty for what happened to his friends in that pipe. He tried so hard to save all their lives, only to be completely and utterly failed by a company that saw them as less than human. I hope he is doing okay. May the memories of the men who died be for a blessing.
Not true. The bodies were fished out, and the only injuries they had were leg injuries. Not to mention the pipe could be partially split to release the pressure
Paria leaving those men there to die without making absolutely no effort is the most disgusting thing I've heard recently. Yes, it was dangerous to try, but you don't just immediately write sorry letters to the families and go drink vodka as if your decision didn't just killed 4 men!
Just imagining the few that made it to Monday - almost three days in that dark pipe, covered in oil, breathing toxic air, and expecting help to come - is a straight hit to my system. That's absolutely horrifying to think about
That last case is honestly disgusting. The clear amount of negligence from the company is unreal. There were 4 lives on the line that were surely able to be saved. Extremely sad and frustrating.
The pipe accident is about to make me cry. Chris did everything he could to try and save his crew. I’m sorry so for him. Rest In peace to those brave men.
Its also such a scary death, as someone with claustrophobia I can't even begin to imagine how absolutely terrifying that must have been. Rest in peace 💔
My eyes got teary imagining that situation as someone who's claustrophobic, to helplessly wait in complete suffocating darkness, no assurance of anyone who'd even come rescue, but just wait and eventually, slowly meeting with their fate. I can't imagine how terrifying, makes me truely angry that paria did nothing to help them, even though they had whole 48 hours of time. I just know the guilt Chris felt was unbearable.
That last video is nightmare fuel and i couldn’t imagine feeling that Chris had listening to his 4 friends slowly die because of the companies negligence
Its is disturbing that they deem rescuing the live trapped victims too much of a risk but its worth the risk to retrieve these same victims when they are dead 5 days later.
So like... the green Lexus was never recovered, no body found, and all we have is dash cam footage of the car genuinely FLYING THE EFF OFF THE ROAD INTO WHAT CAN ONLY BE WATER?!?!?!?!? It's cliche but like... that truth IS stranger than any story. Imagine a work of fiction that's like "The car drove straight off the cliff into the water, AND WAS NEVER FOUND AGAIN." *shines flashlight under chin* lol nah. But WATCHING that car just go 'vrooooom!' right off the cliff? Actually haunting. Another banger vid, Nick. 'Preciate you. Big fan of the darker side of life and if I'm honest, I'm just super glad you don't do the cliche YT horror voice thing. You've got a voice for horror on audiobook! You know when to accentuate drama and when to build and I love it, man!
The Paria Pipeline has me actually crying. Hearing those men in the pipe knowing those were there recorded last words is devastating. Paria should be held accountable!
Accountable for what exactly? 5 days is FASSSSSTTTTTT. These men honestly shouldnt have survived the first second of that situation and its amazing they somehow did.
@@seditt5146what? 1 man survived, and 4 men were left there to die, that’s why the families should sue. And the company should be accountable for their deaths!
The incident with the Paria pipeline disgusts me to my core. They knew that those men were alive and didn’t have the decency to save them, but ‘their bodies were fished out of the pipe five days later’. How absolutely disgusting.
Easy for you to judge when you aren’t the one that has to make the decision. It wouldn’t make sense to risk more live to save them. There was nothing they could do. Even the rescuers advised the company that it was too risky.
That doesn’t make sense why would you put more people in danger, it was clear that the pipe could have gotten a lot worse and it could have caused more people to get stuck and die in there
Chris is such an incredible man going through such a terrifying experience without knowing if he would make it out alive, and was actively trying to go back in to save the other men still trapped. I don’t think that even 0.001% of the world could do that so wow he is amazing. I seriously cannot believe that paria could leave those men to die in such fear and pain. Surely they could have done at least something. So so horrible.
The fact they managed to retrieve the bodies makes you wonder why they couldn't at least try while they were still alive. Even if they ended up sadly dying in the process at least it would have been quick not like this
@@seditt5146they typed up their death announcements and waited until they were corpses, and this is what you call “trying”?? Amazing. There really is no bar that’s low enough for some people, huh.
For the first time, I've actually felt affected by one of these videos. The Paria Pipeline incident is enraging. Two days those men were begging for help. Paria left them to die and Chris himself had been trying to save his friends the entire time- just thinking of it is so sad and terrifying. My heart goes out to this man, and may those divers rest in peace. I hope Christopher has a nice life after this, and that he doesn't blame himself for what happened. He's a good man.
That type of story makes me genuinely appreciative to live in such a coddled environment as the western world is. The complete lack of care for men's lives seems utterly inconceivable, although I'm aware it does exist.
I don't want to be a downer here, but I severely doubt he could live a happy life after this. Genuinely good moments would be tainted by the memories of his comrades and it infuriates me to exponential levels that NO ONE got blamed for this and the company took money of the death of 4 WORKERS, blatantly showing that they thought of them as expendable with the deceased letters going out before the pipe banging stopped. A truly terrible show of the dark sides of the work environment.
Writing their death notices while they’re still alive is one of the cruelest things I’ve ever heard. Not highest on the list, but holy heck that’s cold.
Regarding the last case: why didn't they try using a drain snake or something similar to reach the workers? They could have possibly latched onto it and been pulled out. The way they just resigned to the situation is absolutely incomprehensible.
The paria pipeline incident is by far the most heartwrenching and down right terrifying topic you have covered on this channel. The thought of holding your breath and dragging yourself thru the unknown waters is inconceivable to me. I hope Chris finds his peace, and I hope the 4 who passed have found theirs. I can't fathom not breaking apart the pipe and attempting to save them.
I totally disagree with the company’s decision, as everyone else, but the pipe was under water so if they started cutting it would immediately fill up with water
Just spitballing here and off the top of my head…YTF didn’t they maybe try high volume pumps, remove as much water as possible in order to at least allow them an opportunity to slither their way through pipe? Idk…there’s a special place in hell for whoever made the decision to not even make an effort and just let them suffer for 2 days. Unthinkable, especially hearing them pounding on pipe. If that was my friends/family members, I would’ve gotten my own justice before those 4 people ran out of air. Pathetic
Man I feel for that first officer. He tried to give someone the benefit of the doubt and I can feel his pain through the video. You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink it.
I feel for him and he was just trying to be the good guy but letting some punk ass go without consequences was stupid. Ofc that dude was gonna just keep speeding and driving like a dipshit
@@nuclearexplosion5841not necessarily..they could get to the bodies after they were deceased without worrying about if the oil and water was going to affect the person. I will say, they could have at least tried something, anything…anything at all, even if it meant they might* pass away in the process, at least try. I’m truly in tears it’s so sad! & Chris, having promised them help, how the families must’ve felt, most importantly the men themselves, & the fact you could hear them in the pipe for two days…incredibly morbid and how no one did anything is absolutely BONKERS.
@@joechen692it still wouodve cheaper to save them if thats whst happened, they just didnt care, were not people to them, wrrw a means to make them money, were all replaceable
The fact that the girl filming the mitsero lake said that it smells horrible... It may have been fron the chemicals, but imagine the stench when they went down, right near the suitcase... Its truly terrifying She literally said it smells like death!
Yeah, if it has anything to do with shipping or the oil/gas industry anything like that, then there really is no such thing as 'accountability' - corporations are free to endanger as many workers (especially if they're migrant workers) as they want.
@roguegen Norfolk Southern rail transport had a derailment in East Palestine, Ohio carrying highly toxic chemicals. They destroyed an entire town. (possibly more than one) and have not suffered more than a few fines. If you have money and Washington D..C. support, (and stockholders), you are golden and above reproach. Bottom line; you can commit murder, and/or horrific pollution with no repercussions.✌️😿
The most horrific part of the pipe line story is how the men sound. None of them sound as if they think they're going to die more that they have trust someone would do something, only for the corporation they practically died for to call off any attempt at saving them to instead start a recovery operation before they had even died. Seriously chilling.
I feel so bad for Christopher... He had hopes he kept pushing so he could relay the msg... And then they left them to die...i just hope he forgives himself..
@@noobgamersland6969 Exactly, even more saddening is the man who could've lived while he was going with Christopher, Chris lived because he ignored the other guy and it must be so hard living with the guilt that if you just persuaded someone a little bit more they could've survived
what hits me more deeply is how the men was desperately banging on the pipes for people to hear them. They suceeded, but yet was in vain. I can't even imagine what they were thinking, did they think that Chris and the other died? they would probably prefer thinking like that because if Chris was saved then he would save them
@@menameMid I haven't even thought about that, if they think Chris died that's really saddening and possibly why even with their injuries they didn't proceed, but if they believe he made it, the betrayal they must've felt knowing he got out of there without going back for them, even if he did all he could to help
This is why I believe everyone should have life insurances for these kinds of things. Even more so for these high risk jobs because these companies should have been held liable for these tragedies. Otherwise it's another day, another dollar for these POS companies.
I just went onto the Trinidad Petroleum website (the company who owns Paria), and apparently, one of their values was safety. They said "The safety and well-being of our employees and the communities in which we operate is our number one priority." Safety and well-being of our employees my ass. I genuinely hope the families of the men involved are recovering well
Yes, after watching the video it's hard to believe these words mean anything at all and you just wonder how much of a priority safety is for the next company.
I went on the website of the insurance company has i worked for and got seriously injured ,, and they have tried every dirty trick and lie to deny my legitimate claim ... it says "SAFETY IS OUR NUMBER ONE CONCERN ,, AND TO MAKE YOUR INSURANCE CHEAPER ,, WE TRAIN YOUR EMPLOYEES ,, WE ARE OUT IN THE FIELD HELPING YOUR MEN WORK SAFELY ".. comeplete bullshit !!!! All of it
I hope Nuñez is okay. He acted with kindness and tried to make the situation better. The accident wasn’t because he was negligent, but that’s gotta fuck with you
Kindness or stupidity? What's the point in having laws if the police don't enforce them? He nearly hit a child and a cop car, does that really warrant a pitiful slap on the wrist? I'm not blaming the officer for the crash, that's on the idiot driving dangerously and his silly girlfriend who was impressed by high speeds encouraging him, but it wouldn't have happened if the officer had taken him down the station. He would have taken that more seriously than a piece of paper.
I feel bad for him but he was absolutely negligent.... Someone going that fast and almost hitting multiple cars should not have just been let go with tickets period.... He had to have been going double the speed limit if not more if he was going 100mph in an area like that, that's not a "hey man just slow down" situation that's an arrest and impound situation if ever there was one. That's exactly why he's so bothered because he knows he made the wrong call.
@@blahblaahh3004 But it's not hard to see the officer's logic either. Dumb kids do dumb shit to show off, and almost unanimously tuck in their tail once they get into actual trouble. I get the officer for not wanting to be a seen as a hardass. Not saying he did the right thing, and I'm not saying I'd have made the same call, but I get it.
I’m geniunely crying over the pipe incident. I’m usually unphased but this was by FAR the most disturbing video of this series yet, I geniunely feel like throwing up hearing how they were trapped and left to die slowly, how the man had tried to save his friends, pissed at how they switched it to a RECOVERY effort, disturbed at how they were banging on the walls of the pipe for days, desperate, literally fighting to survive, and finally, the fact that all charges were dropped against the sick fucks that allowed it all to happen in the first place.
It's the same with Deepwater Horizon. BP got away scott free when men died because of their misconduct. Money + The true nature of man = Calamity and death
The moral of the Paria Pipeline story is don’t bust your butt for any job because they literally do not care about you. My heart breaks for the families of the men who perished. I’m sure the survivor has been through hell too. Absolutely despicable, vile company! They are murderers!
Welcome to the world of Soulless Greed......I know it well. And not to worry, those responsible will have known that what you Sow, you will Reap.May they have interesting lives.
@peppermintpetty6766 You sound like an idiot. The divers did not die from "busting their butt". They died during the routine performance of their jobs. True, Paria did not put effort into rescuing them. But based the divers did not put any extra effort into getting into their tragic predicament. Based on the facts presented the "moral" would more likely be do not work for anyone.
It's wild to me that no rescue attempt was made to save the other three men. It was safe enough for Chris to make it to a rescuable point, one would figure at least food and oxygen would be able to be delivered to them as they set to work deconstructing the pipe. Makes me think that there was a conscious decision made to not rescue them in order to save time and money.
Who would they have sent in there to rescue them? They ARE the people trained to go down there. It's a sad situation but its what they signed up for at the end of the day. Risking the lives of other people who are not trained for this dangerous environment is a mathematically bad move. There is a reason jobs like that get paid so well.. "Makes me think that there was a conscious decision made to not rescue them in order to save time and money." Correct. Funerals are expensive.
@@wandererfoolish5126 - No way are you siding with the company that decided to do nothing. What makes you assume that they decided to not save them for the best of reasons? What was preventing them from sending someone with a rope and extra oxygen tanks? Never assume that a corporation has your interest at heart.
@@wandererfoolish5126erm, rescuers. Who else? 🙄 They weren't the only men in the world that were capable of getting down there, where there's a will there's a way. They didn't even try.
i was touched that you named all the victims in the red lake segment. so many people online just focus on the crimes as though the victims are after thoughts. thank you for your compassion
The pipe incident is my nightmare, Jesus. I'm so happy Christopher made it but I'm so sad that everyone else passed. I am claustrophobic. This is fuel to my terror.
Man holy shit at the first story. It reminds me of something that still haunts my dad. He’s a retired paramedic, was a medic for 30+ years before retiring, so he’s seen a lot of shit, but this one still bothers him. Early morning, someone calls in concerned about a woman who they think might be planning to end her life. They show up, she seems perfectly fine, explains that her ex husband was giving her a hard time lately and was making calls like that to make her seem less reputable in court. They can’t exactly force someone to get in an ambulance and go to the hospital, so they make sure to ask her “youre sure you’re okay? You don’t want to end it, right??” and she says no, I’m fine, it’s all just a misunderstanding. The cops show up, ask the same questions, she’s cleared, everyone packs up and bids her a good day. (Later, they learned it was her therapist who called the ambulance in after she had repeatedly tried to reach her doctor before the office was open. I guess the therapist had a gut feeling.) Later, my dad and his partner get a new call- someone jumped from a parking garage. Third, maybe fourth floor. They look at each other, their hopes aren’t high, and put the lights and sirens on to get there as fast as they can. They arrive, she’s lying facedown on the pavement, still alive but on the edge. They get her on the stretcher, jump back in the ambulance, start speeding to the hospital- my dad was in the back with her, trying to get her airway open, but it was not easy (her jaw was busted, like BUSTED busted, her chin was flush with her neck). Obviously she can’t speak, so he’s looking for some kind of identifier to give the ER when they get to the hospital, and he finds her ID. He hadn’t realized it because of the condition she was in, but it was the same woman from earlier. She didn’t make it, sadly, and my dad has always wondered how he could have prevented it. Did them repeatedly asking her if she was sure she wasn’t considering it push her to the edge? Was there some kind of sign she had given them he hadn’t picked up on? They couldn’t have forced her to go to the hospital, that’s actually why suicide is considered a crime- that way, police and medics are within their rights to hold you even if you don’t want help. That was one of the stories that made me realize I couldn’t be a medic like him. I can’t even imagine the cold, sinking feeling he must have gotten, realizing the person he was trying to save was the same person who had convinced him she was just fine only a few hours earlier.
Every Paramedic, with years of experience, has a few proverbial ghosts that never leave them. I’m sure your father has been told that she said she was fine because she wanted to be left alone. There was nothing he could have done. Yes, he could hold her if he had a reason to believe “she was not of sound mind“. But he could not hold her without a good reason. If he had decided to take her in and certify her, she would only be placed in something like a 48 hour hold. That would have just delayed her plans. When suffering becomes too much for somebody and they have made up their minds that they want to go, putting them on a psych ward for a day or two is not going to change that, because they aren’t, necessarily, mentally ill.
I can’t imagine telling his friends that he’d come back or send help and realizing that Paria never saved them. His heartbreak must have been immense when he thought of how they were alive for days down there but no one helped them. If they could get them out when they were dead why didn’t they try when they were alive?
The story about the car going over the cliff is really creepy for some reason. There’s something really eerie about the idea of catching a glimpse of a car driving off a cliff and then not being able to find any evidence that it actually happened
@@mylifeasmickthats fucking terrifying. someone doing this on purpose to end their life is absolutely tragic and horrible, but this happening by error scares the hell out of me
Poor Christopher. The survivor guilt he must have struggled with must have been unbearable. He promised his friends to get them out and they wouldn't do it.
Thank you for covering the Paria Diving incident, Nick. This happened in my country and most of us refuse to forgive our government... What's the point of having a rescue team? Chris literally had to be restrained by 3-5 men to not jump back into the water. He totally was gonna try to save them. I think of his well-being from time to time, with survivor's guilt and all. 💔
Maybe this is me showing my lack of knowledge in this area, but why couldn't they just cut the pipes open and get them out that way? Is there a reason?
@@billbombshiggy9254 Considering the area they were in would've been under immense pressure from the ocean, preventing the men from drowning(especially because they were in separate parts of the pipe) would've been nearly impossible.
@@billbombshiggy9254I think the differential pressure would’ve made it too dangerous to attempt cutting the pipes; if they had done that it might have caused explosive decompression as seen in the very last clip with the crab going past the pipe with the opening in it
I’m a welder and there’s always been talk of how much money you can make doing under water welding. This last story is insanely terrible. I couldn’t imagine the insane desperation these men felt being trapped. They were just left for dead. It’s so heartbreaking.
terrible fact: in the US, on average, underwater welders make $21 an hour, which is awful pay when you consider the job risks. for context, my friend works at the airport in atlanta literally pushing people around in wheelchairs and he makes $18 an hour. the biggest safety risk he faces is an angry or intoxicated handicapped person
@@misseselise3864 Risk rarely seems calculated for occupations in the US, it's really gross, the only risk they care about is a risk to a shrinking profit margin (But still gargantuan profit)
The pipeline incident was genuinely one of the most wretched things I have ever heard. Paria should be sued for all they have for their negligence and disgusting indifference for their employees. My heart goes out to the families Fyzal Kurban, Kazim Ali Jr, Rishi Nagassar and Yusuf Henry. May God have mercy on their souls.
The first video is so anger inducing, and also incredibly sad. This kid knowingly continued to speed the way he was, and he found out the consequences. I feel horrible for his family, Alexa and her family- but I have a hard time having sympathy for Luis. This 100% could’ve been avoided, they could still be alive today. Insane.
I feel the same way. It really does feel difficult feeling sympathy for a guy who was clearly told his actions were dangerous and needed to stop, and he still didn't listen. Even in the video where the cop leaned in to talk to him, he looked like he couldn't give two shits at what he was doing. My heart goes out to the woman, and her and his family. A pitiful death he suffered, a heartbreaking one for his passenger.
Almost this exact thing happened to my big sister. She was the passenger, and the guy driving wanted to show off for her. Sped way too fast and couldn't make the turn. The car flipped and threw my sister out of the sunroof. She passed away a week later. Leaving behind my three beautiful nephews. He, however, is still alive. He's married with three kids of his own now. While he took the mom of three boys away. I'm still more than pissed. Luis should have cared more about her than himself looking cool.
I feel bad for both parties because both lives were precious, even if one made a stupid decision that doesn't devalue their life anymore than the girlfriends. Sure she was unwitting, but the guy was young and idiotic. I'm sure we've all defied authority for some sort of small satisfaction, and this decision cost two very dear lives. A lesson for all to drive safely and to not speed, no matter the situation. RIP to both of them and I hope their families were able to find some sort of closure ❤
Came here to say that im a recent follower and subscriber of yours Nick due to how your stories remind me of Mr Ballen. So glad I found your channel and expanding my podcast experiences with even more dark and mysterious content!
An obscure lake of extremely toxic and corrosive "blood" in the middle of nowhere that a killer used as a dumping ground for his victims? That genuinely sounds like the premise of a horror novel.
Usually when people think "this place is where a serial killer would kill" then probably you shouldn't be there. That's ur brain telling u it's dangerous but it's wild that we do these kinds of things often and brush it aside. I once was walking by a trail and honestly thought it was a good place to hide a body, one day I kept coming up in the trail and there was a foul smell. I ignored it and laughed it off as it was probably a dead body and assumed it was an animal...at some point I believed the smell was too foul for an animal so I avoided the trail just in case. It was later found that it was a dead body. The fact that the suitcases in the lake were visible and no one thought anything of it is so wild.
@@setofreakinkaiba8553holy shit, that sounds so crazy that it’s almost unreal. Idk if your telling the truth but if you are, that has to be so scary. You brain told you you were in danger, you shrugged it off, and days later someone who met their end was near where you thought there was danger. The human brain is crazy 🤷♂️
@@antifurryfoundation55I find it funny how you lump furries in with nazisand make the joke of hating them, yet the flag you use with your profile picture is very similar to the nazi flag.

I feel so bad for the officer in the first video. The amount of guilt he will probably feel for the rest of his life is devastating. The "what ifs" and "I should have done this" thoughts are torture. I really hope he doesn't blame himself and if he does, I hope he forgives himself.
Right because if he'd arrested them then people would just keep saying shit like all cops are bastards and they also would've preferred the ticket if they were the driver.
I feel terrible for the officer and the truck driver. The officer did his job and sincerely warned them to be careful and was really polite despite the fact they clearly could've killed a few pedestrians. The poor truck driver was only doing their job and now has to live with the guilt of unintentionally being involved in the death of two people. The utter stupidity and selfishness of the driver and his date is astounding. Imagine getting off with a ticket and a scolding from law enforcement and a pedestrian and still choosing to drive like he's invincible. His date is just as bad because if I was in the passenger's seat I would definitely not be cool with someone driving like that. I've seen to many near-misses at night with cyclists, young and elderly people walking, people walking their pets, other cars, etc. There's absolutely NO reason to be driving above the speed limit like that besides your own ego. It was entirely preventable and this time honestly... As calloused as it sounds, everyone is just lucky they took themselves our rather than the usual story of an innocent bystander getting killed and the moron driver surviving without a scratch.
@@brittanys505 That guy was driving like a 100 within the city when he was stopped, no normal person would get mad at the officer in this case if he arrested him, only the butthurt speedsters who think the rules don't apply for them. The people would be mad if a cop arrests someone driving like 10 mph above the limit because that's an overkill, but the speed limit within a city on a commercial road is normally between 30 and 40 so that guy drove at least 60m0h above the limit.
i felt the first one so bad. i would feel so bad and weird. like i just seen you and stopped you and now you’re.. you feel me. there was this kid i knew by his name (not personally) something told me “tell him not to go to that store.” a little later, i went to that store, and saw a few guys black clothed. the boy also went to the same store but a few minutes later, and he got stabb*d. i felt so bad. whenever I walk past that store i just think about that moment. telling myself i should’ve said something. im happy God saved him he survived. 🙏🏽
No jumpscares, no special effects, no paranormal entities, just glimpses into the lives of people caught up in tragic circumstances. True, unadulterated horror.

I was around 13 when it happened, but now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure I also remember them not being allowed to leave the sections as well. My dad was watching it on the news and he was angry about it or sth.
that last one was horrifying. the hope slowly leaving the men left in the pipe, believing they’re friend was coming back for them like he had promised. my they rest in peace.
I am completely baffled at the last story, why was there no search efforts made by police or anyone involved? It breaks my heart what those other trapped men had to go through in their last hours. I hope their family sued the fuck out of that company.
Who would they have sent in there to rescue them? They ARE the people trained to go down there. It's a sad situation but its what they signed up for at the end of the day. Risking the lives of other people who are not trained for this dangerous environment is a mathematically bad move. There is a reason jobs like that get paid so well..
@@wandererfoolish5126 they were trained to dive and repair. not go through the pipes, not execute emergency rescue and navigate dangerous situations. There ARE people trained for disasters and sea rescue/medical aid. It was not the victims; they wouldn't have even been equipped to handle this situation if it was someone else, let alone the only ones possible with some sort of underwater training. Military, for one. Aquatic first responders (such as Coast Guard in the US). Paria had TWO DAYS to figure out something but instead they just waited for them to die. Two days, they could have called for emergency help. Two days, they could have tried to at least get the men some oxygen. Two days without even attempting to communicate to them
The last story about the pipe tragedy makes me so sad and so physically ill, I cannot imagine what Christoper must go thru thinking of his friends/colleagues being left for dead in that pipe for days waiting for rescue that was never going to arrive. How on earth was this company cleared of any wrongdoing? That was murder imo. I think it’s amazing they survived that incident from the beginning with a broken leg and broken foot only to be intentionally starved to death afterward. There is a special place for the people that stood by and did nothing to save these men!
The first story breaks my heart. I can’t even begin to imagine what would’ve been running through the officer’s head when he saw the car. He sounded absolutely devastated. Please stay safe while driving, folks. We have speed limits for a reason.
That Red Lake story was crazy, the fact that she was right next to that dead body is chilling. Also she literally said it smelled like death, now idk what the minerals smelled like, but it's still chilling that she said that
@@jordancline30 Not even trained Lifeguards will pull you out without a floatation device. Use logic and not your feelings. Youre gonna have to get used to it for these next 4 years.
The paria pipeline incident really infuriates me. I find it hard to believe there was absolutely nothing they could do unless they didn’t want to spend millions of dollars digging up the pipeline. You can earn the money back, but you can’t bring back individuals. And for TWO WHOLE DAYS they listened to them banging on the pipeline. Truly horrifying and disgusting that paria never faced any legal consequences. I hope those higher ups never get a good night sleep again.
The lives of the rural poor Indian people in that country have never been valued and this incident exemplifies it. RIP to those young men who took risky jobs rather than to be unemployed.
Jesus... This is why I always say that you can only rely on yourself, in emergencies nobody is going to come and save you. Something similar happened to me on a kayak trip. I nearly drowned. If I didn't bring along the right equipment and take charge when the catastrophe happens I would have been dead hands down. The only thing that saved me was my Buck 119 I still carry and my ability to stay calm under pressure. I flipped at night, got sucked over a small waterfall and then smashed into a strainer. After hitting it and knocking the wind out of me I was sucked under a massive log. The water had carved a massive channel under the log jam and I was trapped. Being in the jet black water I had no bearings and couldn't tell which way was up! I used my knife to cut my life vest off and clawed my way up through the log jam breaking any small sticks along the way. I found a tiny swirling air pocket I manage to grab a breath and continued. I broke onto the surface about what seemed like 20-30 seconds after that air pocket. My kayak was fount 2 miles downstream beat to complete hell. Once I got to the bank I had never thrown up so much water. I ended up starting an emergency fire to get warm and rested for a hour until dawn. This happened when I was 28.... I've never been that close to death. Ill still remember that erie feeling of my heart cramping and beating at an abnormal weird rhythm and lossing my vision, I think that's the closest to death I've ever been. Even 25 yrs later I still have nightmares
How is he gonna be driving 100mph, almost hit a cop and a person, be seen by witnesses, get off easy with some tickets, and then do it again even worse minutes later? So heartbreaking for that cop and the victim’s families. The Paria pipeline incident is the saddest thing I’ve seen in a long time, truly horrific. They were tapping for two days stuck in there and they didn’t even make an effort. I love your videos, this one really fkd me up
Cop was too busy trying to sympathize with the idiot driver, he even said "he's probably just trying to impress the girl." He put being a bro ahead of common sense and upholding the law. He should of arrested that kid, towed the car and drove the girl home or had her parents pick her up. Can you imagine how her parents must feel knowing the cops let the kid keep driving knowing he had no regard for their daughter's life? Instead he tried being a wingman and is now responsible for their deaths.
Both the LoveParade case and the Paria case reminded me of the movie NOPE, in the scene where people are abducted by suction, screaming for their lives, and being crushed between themselves.
I have never felt more affected by one of these segments than the Paria Pipeline incident. Something like that happening in the first place is one of the worst possible things I can imagine, and hearing them speak to each other from inside the pipe sent a shiver down my spine. I was so relieved to hear one of them got out, but I literally can’t describe the emotion that overcame me when you began to say that there was no attempt to rescue the rest. A youtube video has never made me cry that fast. I can’t imagine the excruciating pain and horror those four men felt, and they were stuck in there feeling them for so, so long. Paria is pure fucking evil for not even trying to do anything about it. They were alive and suffering but every company that size cares too damn much about risking their profits to give a single fuck about the well-being of their employees. I pray that Chris is doing okay these days. Going through the ordeal in the first place is one thing, but living your life with not only that, but knowing that you couldn’t save your friends from the worst death imaginable no matter how hard you tried has got to be a nightmare. Thank you for making these videos and making us aware of these stories and their victims. Great work as usual.
@@neo-filthyfrank1347”lmao at crying to a UA-cam video” I know right. Imagine being able to empathise with others . Better to have a cold heart like you.
Compliments to this guy who took the time to name every single victim in each case. Well-mannered, respectful way of story-telling. That Pipeline incident....good grief, people. I can't even. PARIA!! It's in the name, they cannot be trusted. So they could fish out the dead bodies but couldn't get them out while alive? What a disgrace! What an incredible tragedy. I think we were all at the edge of our seats... Thank you for the upload, xx..
That last story is a whole different level of disturbing. I'm sorry you had to go through that, Chris. My prayers are with you and your friends' family. I cannot believe Paria waited for these men to die. I cannot believe the anguish of the men trapped in the pipe left to suffocate and die of thirst. Rest in peace.
This is why you’re my favorite, you know that disturbing isn’t just screaming and gruesome stuff, but stuff that makes you question your existence and shakes you to your core. Happy Halloween, bro!
Also, One thing of note from the “Dash Cam” chapter, Toyota/Lexus had a recall around that time for the floor mats getting stuck on the accelerator pedal of the car causing it to uncontrollably take off at full throttle. I bet 100% that what happened is the floor mat pinned the throttle and sent the car off the cliff. There was another story on Nexpo’s channel about the same thing on another Toyota where it was sent off the road at full speed killing all occupants of the vehicle. Ladies & Gents, be sure to check your floor mats before driving, and make sure they sit FLAT on your floors, regardless of what car you own
@@Thegripper12 sarahfunk I think; when her husband joked about it being a murder site where the couple goes to the red lake and nobody ever sees them again
I also visited Mitsero lake with my family in 2017. That day the water was dark brown instead of red, which almost disappointed us then, but even so, the place was really eerie - abandoned buildings near the road, not a single person around, the scorching sun and a strong smell of sulfur coming from the lake. I don’t remember if we joked about it then, but this trip left us a disturbing impression even before the story of these murders surfaced.
The pipe incident makes my blood boiling. They could've rescued them! They could've done anything to save them! They weren't in a position that's impossible to save them.
If they could retrieve the bodies later they could have retrieved them straight away. Was the survivor the only one who wanted to help them. The person who said no to dangerous should have been accountable for their deaths. As one man proved by getting out it was still possible. So upsetting to watch and listen to!
It drove the public here insane as well. The company is widely despised. But due to their government contacts & corruption there hasn't been any further action.
28:07 I remember hearing updates on this while driving home from school and the weeks to follow. Some stuff that was not mentioned in the video: -after the incident, the families had gathered outside the company's headquarters to demand the divers rescue. The company did not allow them inside even when it started raining and only set up a tent. -There was an outcry for the company to stop production to focus on saving the divers, they refused I wish my country's legal system wasn't shit.
Wow… even if it was utterly hopeless, at least go down there and make an effort. I can’t imagine the pain of knowing there’s potential for my loved one to be saved and the only one capable of that wouldn’t even try, or even speak to me face to face. I know automobile companies have a % of cars that they are willing to be defective because paying out lawsuits for crashes- even fatalities- is more cost effective than spending the resources to more thoroughly test. I wonder if a similar principle went into play here.
From my perspective (I also visited this lake in 2017, including the shore) - it’s not as horrifying as the fact that such terrible things happened in such a calm place. This motherfucker was the first (!) serial killer in the modern history of Cyprus, and I hope he rots in prison without anyone following in his footsteps.
The last one was so heartbreaking and so infuriating, I feel for Chris and how he must have felt after all the incident, the fact that Paria just left them to die and still wasn't charged for it it's just so enraging
The Pipe incident makes me mad as hell! Breaks my heart for the men who died in the pipe. What the company did is EVIL! They will rot in hell for this. I feel bad for Chris hope he is okay. Imagine making it out of the pipe alive just to see that your company is not lifting a finger to rescue your friends. It could’ve been you who is still stuck down there and the these f****** asshole do absolutely nothing. Ohhhhhhh makes my blood boil. I mean even if you survive, you have to live with that. That would haunt me for the rest of my life. I hope the knocking sounds will haunt the people who didn’t do anything to help these men get out of the pipe in their dreams for the rest of their lives. This is pure EVIL!!! 🤬

The Paria incident's ending had me absolutely flabergasted. Why would the company do this? Then I remembered it's an oil company run by demons and I felt silly for even wondering why they did nothing.

The anger I felt when I found out they never bothered to save the men in the Paria Pipeline incident is astounding. Those men for days were banging on the walls of the pipe, desperate for help with no response.
Gotta feel bad for the cop in the 1st part. Hes gotta live with the guilt that if he was a bit more harsh and arrested the couple than they could still be alive
no, that 24-year-old acted like a teenager, who has an ego problem, he was going to speed and crash, either in that afternoon, next day, or anyday with his date
@@mightyx5441not true. What a narrow minded and self righteous way to look at things. Let me guess, "you just know". BS. It only takes once to learn a lesson. The only thing we can know is had he arrested them they wouldn't have crashed that night.
@@L_Train Was the officer even able to arrest them? You can't just arrest people for speeding unless it's like I guess reckless driving or something. I'm not sure how fast ole boy was going when pulled over though
I feel so bad for Christopher. Imagine being trapped, stuck in a claustrophobic tunnel, being the only person able to get out of the pipe as you hear your friends get further and further from you, and you call back that you're going to get them help- just for the company you work for to not help you go through that promise you made. It's sick, honestly, and I hope Christopher is doing better now, his bravery and friends won't be forgotten.
As a claustrophobe, this one is definitely nightmare-inducing. Both the German concert and the pipeline incident gave me severe anxiety. Thank you for the awesome work as always Nick
I‘m german. And the "Love Parade" event, which took place in Duisburg in 2010, was a complete disaster. Everything was cut corners in terms of organization. And today, nobody is taking responsibility for this incident. Unfortunately, it often feels like things are only improved in certain areas in Germany if a dramatic event has occurred beforehand...
The paria incident made me cry omg... Those poor poor men, and I can't imagine how Chris felt knowing he was the only one to survive while no one else bothered to help the others. I feel so awful for them, may they rest in peace.
Its not often that these incidents leave me feeling hopeless but that last story will definitely stick with me for awhile. My heart is with all the victims and their families
This legit left me angry knowing how scummy the company was and they didn't get punished? I hope Chris and the families can seek some justice ine day if they haven't
Happy Halloween 🖤🎃
Thanks daddy
Same to you bro

Happy Halloween too!🎃
My heart breaks for Chris. He knows how terrifying the experience was and he knows the fear his friends felt. He made it out of there to save them. He wasn’t able or even allowed to save them. The survivor's guilt would be unbearable
I heard this story like month ago from mrballen and it stays with u for a some time. Honestly the most depressing and horrifying story i have heard, it makes u sad and angry and the idea of being stuck inside a pipe miles away from freedom and underwater is such a nightmare. I rly feel for the guy who made it out, living with shit like this must be insanely traumatizing. Hope he will find a piece of mind one day.
two days TWO DAYS and Paria wouldn't even TRY
I cant imagine the endless, overwhelming emotions all five men must have felt that whole time
Chris' panic, anger, despair
the others' desperation and fear, fighting that entire time to be heard
and Paria just waited. for two days. heartbreaking doesnt even come lightyears close
My jaw was hanging when i heard how they made no effort to save them, its honestly so depressing to think about
Absolutely fucking horrible. Why not just cut the pipe? There's no need to go back in it. LIKE AGUHHGHEUGHGUH absolutely terrible story
@@Nephialt IKR? I was wondering what the difference was between the rescue(even though there was no plan for one) and recovery efforts, besides the obvious. If it was dangerous to rescue, would it not also be dangerous for recovery? Did they cut into the pipe? I heard they didn't, perhaps cost, safety issues. I don't know a lot about these things so I'm totally clueless and don't know what the right questions to ask are.
The fact that Paria was cleared of any charges legitimately pisses me off. Just the fact that they immediately gave up and started writing death notices WHILE THE MEN WERE STILL ALIVE, and yet received no punishment for their negligence, shows that there truly is no justice in this world.
How right you are my friend. Justice awaits...
I dunno, seems like they felt like the risk to lose more lives by trying to save them was to great. Which is probably why charges were dropped. Terrible situation regardless
One bad thing happened so that means there is no justice in the world? So, if your car gets stolen, does that show there are no vehicles in the world?

The pipe incident made me physically sick to my stomach. The fact the company did NOTHING despite the men clearly being alive for days is just disgusting.
Im pretty sure they let them die because its easier to say it was an act if god instead of properly managed equipment. If they survived it would have been a crazy lawsuit, letting them die was an act of saving their asses. Fuck the world, I cant watch that part of the video because that story makes me cry every time.

That’s how a lot of companies see their employees. Disposable
I told them not to name their oil rig the nostromo
Hey now, that's not fair. They didn't SEND them before the men died, they just drafted them!

The pipe incident is yet another reminder that corporations do not care about you. The decision to end your life in pain, in fear, and unable to breathe is a business move.
Nor do unions, they work for the company but idiotic union members still think the union works for the people not the company

As someone who lives in Duisburg near where the devastating tragedy of the love parade occurred, it is painfully eerie to walk there. There is a memorial in the middle commemorating the lives lost and on the walls are white chalk/paint outlines of how close the people were standing next to each other. Regardless of what you believe in, the suffering and hopelessness is still palpable in the energy of the tunnel. Waking through there, you feel claustrophobic because the ceilings are low, wide, and arched. It's mostly concrete with few openings close to the center. It's also relatively dark with limited airflow. This heartbreaking tragedy affects lives of so many here.
As disturbing as it sounds to walk through, I think it's beautiful how the community has commemorated the victims and refuse to let the story fade away with time. Much love to you and to all those connected to the tragedy
I feel so bad for the police officer in the first part. You can tell just how devastated he was with the fact that the two people he talked to not even 10 minutes ago ended up dying brutally.
Feel terrible for the officer but it's hard to feel any sympathy for the 2 idiots in the car. Clearly showing off with their 100mph was more important than their lives. Warned once and they clearly didn't care.
I'm just happy that no one else got hurt. those two pricks had no guilt for nearly killing some pedestrians and drivers, and immediately went back to being an extreme danger for surrounding people. I really feel little sympathy for the driver especially, he had it coming and I'm just so glad there were no others involved in the wreck.
in Europe the police would just confiscate their driving licence...
cop sympathizer 😴
Yeah, why should he feel bad. You can't protect idiots from themselves. It was bound to happen sooner or later if they're that dumb. Just be thankful that no one else was hurt. If anything the cop probably saved an innocent life. Imagine if some kid was crossing the road.
I truly hope Christopher doesn’t feel guilty for what happened to his friends in that pipe. He tried so hard to save all their lives, only to be completely and utterly failed by a company that saw them as less than human. I hope he is doing okay. May the memories of the men who died be for a blessing.
Realistically it doesn't seem like there's anything they could do anyway
Not true. The bodies were fished out, and the only injuries they had were leg injuries. Not to mention the pipe could be partially split to release the pressure

Thats the worth of workers in the eyes of companies.
Yeah God forbid they cut open or damage the pipe saving one life let alone three.
Godbless those poor men,that’s my worst nightmare for sure 🕊🙏
@ohav3893 worst part is, someone somewhere in the company had already had the cost risk analysis done for a scenario like this.
Just imagining the few that made it to Monday - almost three days in that dark pipe, covered in oil, breathing toxic air, and expecting help to come - is a straight hit to my system.
That's absolutely horrifying to think about
That last case is honestly disgusting. The clear amount of negligence from the company is unreal. There were 4 lives on the line that were surely able to be saved. Extremely sad and frustrating.
Reminds me of the Ferry Sinking with all those children in their cabins following orders.
Well that’s the corporate world for you, they’re criminals that are just allowed to get away with their wrongdoings

My eyes got teary imagining that situation as someone who's claustrophobic, to helplessly wait in complete suffocating darkness, no assurance of anyone who'd even come rescue, but just wait and eventually, slowly meeting with their fate. I can't imagine how terrifying, makes me truely angry that paria did nothing to help them, even though they had whole 48 hours of time. I just know the guilt Chris felt was unbearable.
Yes just evil.
"Paria" is not the same spelling as PARIAH, but certainly similarities when it comes to the contempt.
Dont get a diving job if you want to live, any number of days could be a day you die because of how dangerous it is.

Aside from the others, I also felt terrible for Chris. Watching him cry in the video, he must be suffering from survivor's guilt.

Easy for you to judge when you aren’t the one that has to make the decision. It wouldn’t make sense to risk more live to save them. There was nothing they could do. Even the rescuers advised the company that it was too risky.
@@Sungroovestfu , theres many things they couldve done . such as breaking the pipe as a whole .

By all means I'm sure you'd be racing to rescue these men in what's essentially suicide.
You'd feel different if it was your friend or family
Chris is such an incredible man going through such a terrifying experience without knowing if he would make it out alive, and was actively trying to go back in to save the other men still trapped. I don’t think that even 0.001% of the world could do that so wow he is amazing. I seriously cannot believe that paria could leave those men to die in such fear and pain.

For the first time, I've actually felt affected by one of these videos. The Paria Pipeline incident is enraging. Two days those men were begging for help. Paria left them to die and Chris himself had been trying to save his friends the entire time- just thinking of it is so sad and terrifying. My heart goes out to this man, and may those divers rest in peace. I hope Christopher has a nice life after this, and that he doesn't blame himself for what happened. He's a good man.
That type of story makes me genuinely appreciative to live in such a coddled environment as the western world is. The complete lack of care for men's lives seems utterly inconceivable, although I'm aware it does exist.
I don't want to be a downer here, but I severely doubt he could live a happy life after this. Genuinely good moments would be tainted by the memories of his comrades and it infuriates me to exponential levels that NO ONE got blamed for this and the company took money of the death of 4 WORKERS, blatantly showing that they thought of them as expendable with the deceased letters going out before the pipe banging stopped. A truly terrible show of the dark sides of the work environment.

The paria pipeline incident is by far the most heartwrenching and down right terrifying topic you have covered on this channel. The thought of holding your breath and dragging yourself thru the unknown waters is inconceivable to me. I hope Chris finds his peace, and I hope the 4 who passed have found theirs. I can't fathom not breaking apart the pipe and attempting to save them.
I knew abt the incident but didn’t know that Paria didn’t even attempt to rescue the remaining 4 workers… Horrible.
Those men are at fault for not trying to get out. We stand with the company, and i speak for everyone when i say this
I totally disagree with the company’s decision, as everyone else, but the pipe was under water so if they started cutting it would immediately fill up with water
@@TheBeigeRaider ? Weren't they injured? one broke a leg and the other broke a foot
Just spitballing here and off the top of my head…YTF didn’t they maybe try high volume pumps, remove as much water as possible in order to at least allow them an opportunity to slither their way through pipe? Idk…there’s a special place in hell for whoever made the decision to not even make an effort and just let them suffer for 2 days. Unthinkable, especially hearing them pounding on pipe. If that was my friends/family members, I would’ve gotten my own justice before those 4 people ran out of air. Pathetic
Man I feel for that first officer. He tried to give someone the benefit of the doubt and I can feel his pain through the video. You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink it.
His anxiety and sadness was palpable. I felt it in my chest.

The Paria pipeline disaster legitimately makes my heart hurt. How can people be so cruel.
They removed the bodies after they were dead which makes no sense, if they could get the dead bodies they could get them while they were alive
@@nuclearexplosion5841not necessarily..they could get to the bodies after they were deceased without worrying about if the oil and water was going to affect the person. I will say, they could have at least tried something, anything…anything at all, even if it meant they might* pass away in the process, at least try. I’m truly in tears it’s so sad! & Chris, having promised them help, how the families must’ve felt, most importantly the men themselves, & the fact you could hear them in the pipe for two days…incredibly morbid and how no one did anything is absolutely BONKERS.
Money, plain and simple. Just send the family’s couple $100k and call it a day
@@joechen692it still wouodve cheaper to save them if thats whst happened, they just didnt care, were not people to them, wrrw a means to make them money, were all replaceable
They would have risked the rescuers lives as well. You'd rather have 7 victims than 4?
The fact that the girl filming the mitsero lake said that it smells horrible... It may have been fron the chemicals, but imagine the stench when they went down, right near the suitcase... Its truly terrifying
She literally said it smells like death!
I cannot believe that company was cleared of any wrong doing for abandoning those 4 men in the pipe. That is completely insane.
ikr! it’s so disgusting how a corporation to put their employees in danger and leave them to die for the lolz can be cleared of any wrong doing
probably one of the biggest companies in trinidad , surely some palms got greased
Yeah, if it has anything to do with shipping or the oil/gas industry anything like that, then there really is no such thing as 'accountability' - corporations are free to endanger as many workers (especially if they're migrant workers) as they want.

Holy shit indeed.
The most horrific part of the pipe line story is how the men sound. None of them sound as if they think they're going to die more that they have trust someone would do something, only for the corporation they practically died for to call off any attempt at saving them to instead start a recovery operation before they had even died. Seriously chilling.
I feel so bad for Christopher... He had hopes he kept pushing so he could relay the msg... And then they left them to die...i just hope he forgives himself..
@@noobgamersland6969 Exactly, even more saddening is the man who could've lived while he was going with Christopher, Chris lived because he ignored the other guy and it must be so hard living with the guilt that if you just persuaded someone a little bit more they could've survived
@@MeandMyScrewdriver that's just rough and really sad and cruel on the company's part..
what hits me more deeply is how the men was desperately banging on the pipes for people to hear them. They suceeded, but yet was in vain. I can't even imagine what they were thinking, did they think that Chris and the other died? they would probably prefer thinking like that because if Chris was saved then he would save them
@@menameMid I haven't even thought about that, if they think Chris died that's really saddening and possibly why even with their injuries they didn't proceed, but if they believe he made it, the betrayal they must've felt knowing he got out of there without going back for them, even if he did all he could to help
Shocker, massive oil companies, and corporations in general don't care whether their employees live or die
This is why I believe everyone should have life insurances for these kinds of things. Even more so for these high risk jobs because these companies should have been held liable for these tragedies. Otherwise it's another day, another dollar for these POS companies.

I just went onto the Trinidad Petroleum website (the company who owns Paria), and apparently, one of their values was safety. They said "The safety and well-being of our employees and the communities in which we operate is our number one priority." Safety and well-being of our employees my ass. I genuinely hope the families of the men involved are recovering well
Yes, after watching the video it's hard to believe these words mean anything at all and you just wonder how much of a priority safety is for the next company.
i'm sorry but you're dumb if you believe this is the only company doing this
I hate to tell you this but corporations sometimes lie
If you expect Trinidad Petroleum to have any safety at all you’d be mistaken
I went on the website of the insurance company has i worked for and got seriously injured ,, and they have tried every dirty trick and lie to deny my legitimate claim ... it says "SAFETY IS OUR NUMBER ONE CONCERN ,, AND TO MAKE YOUR INSURANCE CHEAPER ,, WE TRAIN YOUR EMPLOYEES ,, WE ARE OUT IN THE FIELD HELPING YOUR MEN WORK SAFELY ".. comeplete bullshit !!!!

I hope Nuñez is okay. He acted with kindness and tried to make the situation better. The accident wasn’t because he was negligent, but that’s gotta fuck with you
Luis was a butthead idk why it got in is big ass ego. It sucks…
Well said to many people here trying to find someone to blame
Kindness or stupidity? What's the point in having laws if the police don't enforce them? He nearly hit a child and a cop car, does that really warrant a pitiful slap on the wrist? I'm not blaming the officer for the crash, that's on the idiot driving dangerously and his silly girlfriend who was impressed by high speeds encouraging him, but it wouldn't have happened if the officer had taken him down the station. He would have taken that more seriously than a piece of paper.
I feel bad for him but he was absolutely negligent.... Someone going that fast and almost hitting multiple cars should not have just been let go with tickets period.... He had to have been going double the speed limit if not more if he was going 100mph in an area like that, that's not a "hey man just slow down" situation that's an arrest and impound situation if ever there was one. That's exactly why he's so bothered because he knows he made the wrong call.
@@blahblaahh3004 But it's not hard to see the officer's logic either. Dumb kids do dumb shit to show off, and almost unanimously tuck in their tail once they get into actual trouble. I get the officer for not wanting to be a seen as a hardass. Not saying he did the right thing, and I'm not saying I'd have made the same call, but I get it.
I’m geniunely crying over the pipe incident. I’m usually unphased but this was by FAR the most disturbing video of this series yet, I geniunely feel like throwing up hearing how they were trapped and left to die slowly, how the man had tried to save his friends, pissed at how they switched it to a RECOVERY effort, disturbed at how they were banging on the walls of the pipe for days, desperate, literally fighting to survive, and finally,
the fact that all charges were dropped against the sick fucks that allowed it all to happen in the first place.
I needed to read this. I am distraught.
It's the same with Deepwater Horizon. BP got away scott free when men died because of their misconduct. Money + The true nature of man = Calamity and death
i cried, it's not fair they were just left to die... fuck that company.
I totally agree with you. That is devastating that they just left them to die like they didn't matter. They should be in prison
I hope the people who made the choice to abandon them were haunted tell tale heart style. Those poor scared lives are on their hands.

@peppermintpetty6766 You sound like an idiot. The divers did not die from "busting their butt". They died during the routine performance of their jobs. True, Paria did not put effort into rescuing them. But based the divers did not put any extra effort into getting into their tragic predicament. Based on the facts presented the "moral" would more likely be do not work for anyone.
Our whole country is like this and It happened maybe 1 or 2 years ago and shit has gotten MUCH worse
It's wild to me that no rescue attempt was made to save the other three men. It was safe enough for Chris to make it to a rescuable point, one would figure at least food and oxygen would be able to be delivered to them as they set to work deconstructing the pipe. Makes me think that there was a conscious decision made to not rescue them in order to save time and money.
*Four men. Three were left in the first air pocket, and the fourth Chris has to leave in the second air pocket when the guy refused to move.
Who would they have sent in there to rescue them? They ARE the people trained to go down there. It's a sad situation but its what they signed up for at the end of the day. Risking the lives of other people who are not trained for this dangerous environment is a mathematically bad move. There is a reason jobs like that get paid so well..
"Makes me think that there was a conscious decision made to not rescue them in order to save time and money."
Correct. Funerals are expensive.
@@wandererfoolish5126 - No way are you siding with the company that decided to do nothing. What makes you assume that they decided to not save them for the best of reasons? What was preventing them from sending someone with a rope and extra oxygen tanks?

The pipe incident is my nightmare, Jesus. I'm so happy Christopher made it but I'm so sad that everyone else passed.
I am claustrophobic. This is fuel to my terror.
Man holy shit at the first story. It reminds me of something that still haunts my dad. He’s a retired paramedic, was a medic for 30+ years before retiring, so he’s seen a lot of shit, but this one still bothers him.
Early morning, someone calls in concerned about a woman who they think might be planning to end her life. They show up, she seems perfectly fine, explains that her ex husband was giving her a hard time lately and was making calls like that to make her seem less reputable in court. They can’t exactly force someone to get in an ambulance and go to the hospital, so they make sure to ask her “youre sure you’re okay? You don’t want to end it, right??” and she says no, I’m fine, it’s all just a misunderstanding. The cops show up, ask the same questions, she’s cleared, everyone packs up and bids her a good day. (Later, they learned it was her therapist who called the ambulance in after she had repeatedly tried to reach her doctor before the office was open. I guess the therapist had a gut feeling.)
Later, my dad and his partner get a new call- someone jumped from a parking garage. Third, maybe fourth floor. They look at each other, their hopes aren’t high, and put the lights and sirens on to get there as fast as they can. They arrive, she’s lying facedown on the pavement, still alive but on the edge. They get her on the stretcher, jump back in the ambulance, start speeding to the hospital- my dad was in the back with her, trying to get her airway open, but it was not easy (her jaw was busted, like BUSTED busted, her chin was flush with her neck). Obviously she can’t speak, so he’s looking for some kind of identifier to give the ER when they get to the hospital, and he finds her ID.
He hadn’t realized it because of the condition she was in, but it was the same woman from earlier. She didn’t make it, sadly, and my dad has always wondered how he could have prevented it. Did them repeatedly asking her if she was sure she wasn’t considering it push her to the edge? Was there some kind of sign she had given them he hadn’t picked up on? They couldn’t have forced her to go to the hospital, that’s actually why suicide is considered a crime- that way, police and medics are within their rights to hold you even if you don’t want help.
That was one of the stories that made me realize I couldn’t be a medic like him. I can’t even imagine the cold, sinking feeling he must have gotten, realizing the person he was trying to save was the same person who had convinced him she was just fine only a few hours earlier.
Sad story man. But the fact of the matter is you can't help someone who doesn't want help.
Every Paramedic, with years of experience, has a few proverbial ghosts that never leave them.
I’m sure your father has been told that she said she was fine because she wanted to be left alone. There was nothing he could have done. Yes, he could hold her if he had a reason to believe “she was not of sound mind“. But he could not hold her without a good reason. If he had decided to take her in and certify her, she would only be placed in something like a 48 hour hold. That would have just delayed her plans.
When suffering becomes too much for somebody and they have made up their minds that they want to go, putting them on a psych ward for a day or two is not going to change that, because they aren’t, necessarily, mentally ill.
That's awful, both for that poor woman who felt she had no hope as well as for your dad, who was empathetic and did his best to help
“Her chin was flush with her neck”
And she was alive?!? Jesus Christ. That is one of the most horrifying things I’ve read.
Chris must have the worst survivors guilt. That pipeline incident is terrible
I can’t imagine telling his friends that he’d come back or send help and realizing that Paria never saved them. His heartbreak must have been immense when he thought of how they were alive for days down there but no one helped them. If they could get them out when they were dead why didn’t they try when they were alive?

The first video is so anger inducing, and also incredibly sad. This kid knowingly continued to speed the way he was, and he found out the consequences. I feel horrible for his family, Alexa and her family- but I have a hard time having sympathy for Luis. This 100% could’ve been avoided, they could still be alive today. Insane.
I feel the same way. It really does feel difficult feeling sympathy for a guy who was clearly told his actions were dangerous and needed to stop, and he still didn't listen. Even in the video where the cop leaned in to talk to him, he looked like he couldn't give two shits at what he was doing.
My heart goes out to the woman, and her and his family. A pitiful death he suffered, a heartbreaking one for his passenger.
He had already been warned and kept driving crazy🤦♂️
Almost this exact thing happened to my big sister. She was the passenger, and the guy driving wanted to show off for her. Sped way too fast and couldn't make the turn. The car flipped and threw my sister out of the sunroof. She passed away a week later. Leaving behind my three beautiful nephews. He, however, is still alive. He's married with three kids of his own now. While he took the mom of three boys away. I'm still more than pissed. Luis should have cared more about her than himself looking cool.
I feel bad more for the gf
I feel bad for both parties because both lives were precious, even if one made a stupid decision that doesn't devalue their life anymore than the girlfriends. Sure she was unwitting, but the guy was young and idiotic. I'm sure we've all defied authority for some sort of small satisfaction, and this decision cost two very dear lives. A lesson for all to drive safely and to not speed, no matter the situation. RIP to both of them and I hope their families were able to find some sort of closure ❤

An obscure lake of extremely toxic and corrosive "blood" in the middle of nowhere that a killer used as a dumping ground for his victims? That genuinely sounds like the premise of a horror novel.
Usually when people think "this place is where a serial killer would kill" then probably you shouldn't be there. That's ur brain telling u it's dangerous but it's wild that we do these kinds of things often and brush it aside. I once was walking by a trail and honestly thought it was a good place to hide a body, one day I kept coming up in the trail and there was a foul smell. I ignored it and laughed it off as it was probably a dead body and assumed it was an animal...at some point I believed the smell was too foul for an animal so I avoided the trail just in case. It was later found that it was a dead body.
The fact that the suitcases in the lake were visible and no one thought anything of it is so wild.

The poor truck driver was only doing their job and now has to live with the guilt of unintentionally being involved in the death of two people. The utter stupidity and selfishness of the driver and his date is astounding. Imagine getting off with a ticket and a scolding from law enforcement and a pedestrian and still choosing to drive like he's invincible. His date is just as bad because if I was in the passenger's seat I would definitely not be cool with someone driving like that. I've seen to many near-misses at night with cyclists, young and elderly people walking, people walking their pets, other cars, etc. There's absolutely NO reason to be driving above the speed limit like that besides your own ego. It was entirely preventable and this time honestly... As calloused as it sounds, everyone is just lucky they took themselves our rather than the usual story of an innocent bystander getting killed and the moron driver surviving without a scratch.
@@brittanys505 That guy was driving like a 100 within the city when he was stopped, no normal person would get mad at the officer in this case if he arrested him, only the butthurt speedsters who think the rules don't apply for them.

How on earth was this company cleared of any wrongdoing? That was murder imo. I think it’s amazing they survived that incident from the beginning with a broken leg and broken foot only to be intentionally starved to death afterward. There is a special place for the people that stood by and did nothing to save these men!
it’s heartbreaking to know he told them he would come back for them, I’m sure he feels guilt everyday although not his fault. I can’t imagine.
Do you know where i can find the original clip at 6:05? Cuz i remmebr being a jumpsacre
It wasn't starved to death, but suffocated.
I do suppose that, they were starved of both food and oxygen. Absolutely horrible. At least they had eachother in the end…
Because it wasn’t in USA only reason
The first story breaks my heart. I can’t even begin to imagine what would’ve been running through the officer’s head when he saw the car. He sounded absolutely devastated.
Please stay safe while driving, folks. We have speed limits for a reason.
That Red Lake story was crazy, the fact that she was right next to that dead body is chilling. Also she literally said it smelled like death, now idk what the minerals smelled like, but it's still chilling that she said that
She said it feels like death, not smells like death. 🤦🏾♀️
@@mochabearryshe was talking about the smell though. She said right before that how badly it smelt. The terrible smell feels like death to her.
@@user-cupidscorner 🤦🏾♀️ Yes, and so she literally didn’t say it smelled like death. This is about the comment.
@@mochabearryok who cares, you just wanna nit pick at everything get a life
@@mochabearry dear god, there always has to be an "akctually" person in every single video on this planet
So they can "fish" their dead bodies out but couldn't rescue them when they were alive? And they weren't at fault? Wow, that truly is disturbing.
That's what I was thinking if it wasn't safe to go in how did you recover their bodies.....very sad and sick!
I get it but. What else could they have even done
@@IToastMySocksif they can get their dead bodies out why can’t they get them out of there alive. Wym “what could they have done”
@@jordancline30 Not even trained Lifeguards will pull you out without a floatation device. Use logic and not your feelings. Youre gonna have to get used to it for these next 4 years.
@@IToastMySocks Logic says if they can get a dead body out, they can get a live body out.
The paria pipeline incident really infuriates me. I find it hard to believe there was absolutely nothing they could do unless they didn’t want to spend millions of dollars digging up the pipeline. You can earn the money back, but you can’t bring back individuals. And for TWO WHOLE DAYS they listened to them banging on the pipeline. Truly horrifying and disgusting that paria never faced any legal consequences. I hope those higher ups never get a good night sleep again.
The lives of the rural poor Indian people in that country have never been valued and this incident exemplifies it. RIP to those young men who took risky jobs rather than to be unemployed.
They were not poor people .. cut the crap. The company are devil's, point blank.
"I love the sound of dying people desperately try to get he;lp"
Yep that’s exactly what I thought. Wonder what the outcome would have been if these men were white. Sigh… RIP.
@@mr.kenway4554RIGHT
Jesus... This is why I always say that you can only rely on yourself, in emergencies nobody is going to come and save you. Something similar happened to me on a kayak trip. I nearly drowned. If I didn't bring along the right equipment and take charge when the catastrophe happens I would have been dead hands down. The only thing that saved me was my Buck 119 I still carry and my ability to stay calm under pressure. I flipped at night, got sucked over a small waterfall and then smashed into a strainer. After hitting it and knocking the wind out of me I was sucked under a massive log. The water had carved a massive channel under the log jam and I was trapped. Being in the jet black water I had no bearings and couldn't tell which way was up! I used my knife to cut my life vest off and clawed my way up through the log jam breaking any small sticks along the way. I found a tiny swirling air pocket I manage to grab a breath and continued. I broke onto the surface about what seemed like 20-30 seconds after that air pocket. My kayak was fount 2 miles downstream beat to complete hell. Once I got to the bank I had never thrown up so much water. I ended up starting an emergency fire to get warm and rested for a hour until dawn. This happened when I was 28.... I've never been that close to death. Ill still remember that erie feeling of my heart cramping and beating at an abnormal weird rhythm and lossing my vision, I think that's the closest to death I've ever been. Even 25 yrs later I still have nightmares
How is he gonna be driving 100mph, almost hit a cop and a person, be seen by witnesses, get off easy with some tickets, and then do it again even worse minutes later? So heartbreaking for that cop and the victim’s families.
The Paria pipeline incident is the saddest thing I’ve seen in a long time, truly horrific. They were tapping for two days stuck in there and they didn’t even make an effort. I love your videos, this one really fkd me up
I think the cop just wanted to humble the kid...
Kid got humbled indeed
Cop was too busy trying to sympathize with the idiot driver, he even said "he's probably just trying to impress the girl." He put being a bro ahead of common sense and upholding the law. He should of arrested that kid, towed the car and drove the girl home or had her parents pick her up. Can you imagine how her parents must feel knowing the cops let the kid keep driving knowing he had no regard for their daughter's life? Instead he tried being a wingman and is now responsible for their deaths.
No one's gonna miss the first two copy paste NPCs anyways
I am surprised he didn’t get arrested! He should have been!
The lovefestival situation is my worst nightmare. Intense chaos, surrounded by screaming, dying people. That is hell on earth.
Literally don't go to crappy festivals. The people who get into crowd crushes are weird human ants. It is incrediblely easy to prevent.
Fr I don’t know anyone that finds that fun
Both the LoveParade case and the Paria case reminded me of the movie NOPE, in the scene where people are abducted by suction, screaming for their lives, and being crushed between themselves.
Crowd crushes are my greatest fear, I still go to concerts and festivals and whatnot but I'm always near at least 2 exits
It reminded me of the Battle of the Bastards scene from GoT.
I have never felt more affected by one of these segments than the Paria Pipeline incident. Something like that happening in the first place is one of the worst possible things I can imagine, and hearing them speak to each other from inside the pipe sent a shiver down my spine. I was so relieved to hear one of them got out, but I literally can’t describe the emotion that overcame me when you began to say that there was no attempt to rescue the rest. A youtube video has never made me cry that fast. I can’t imagine the excruciating pain and horror those four men felt, and they were stuck in there feeling them for so, so long. Paria is pure fucking evil for not even trying to do anything about it. They were alive and suffering but every company that size cares too damn much about risking their profits to give a single fuck about the well-being of their employees. I pray that Chris is doing okay these days. Going through the ordeal in the first place is one thing, but living your life with not only that, but knowing that you couldn’t save your friends from the worst death imaginable no matter how hard you tried has got to be a nightmare.
Thank you for making these videos and making us aware of these stories and their victims. Great work as usual.
And do what? Send someone else in with a high chance of dying themselves?
Also lmao at crying to a youtube video

Compliments to this guy who took the time to name every single victim in each case. Well-mannered, respectful way of story-telling. That Pipeline incident....good grief, people. I can't even. PARIA!! It's in the name, they cannot be trusted. So they could fish out the dead bodies but couldn't get them out while alive? What a disgrace! What an incredible tragedy. I think we were all at the edge of our seats... Thank you for the upload, xx..
That last story is a whole different level of disturbing. I'm sorry you had to go through that, Chris. My prayers are with you and your friends' family. I cannot believe Paria waited for these men to die. I cannot believe the anguish of the men trapped in the pipe left to suffocate and die of thirst. Rest in peace.
This is why you’re my favorite, you know that disturbing isn’t just screaming and gruesome stuff, but stuff that makes you question your existence and shakes you to your core. Happy Halloween, bro!
was just about to write the same. disturbing doesn't mean how much blood there is, it means how much it troubles you emotionally.
My favorite go to channel on YT, this is the best!!
Also, One thing of note from the “Dash Cam” chapter, Toyota/Lexus had a recall around that time for the floor mats getting stuck on the accelerator pedal of the car causing it to uncontrollably take off at full throttle. I bet 100% that what happened is the floor mat pinned the throttle and sent the car off the cliff. There was another story on Nexpo’s channel about the same thing on another Toyota where it was sent off the road at full speed killing all occupants of the vehicle.
Ladies & Gents, be sure to check your floor mats before driving, and make sure they sit FLAT on your floors, regardless of what car you own
Right... I can't believe he was that lazy. He could've easily typed Toyota/Lexus' fail brake?
I mean, it did look like she couldn't press the brake. Not necessarily the brakes failing, but something else. Which was the floor mat.
Damn you cracked the case
@@LOUIS_HENRY_MEDRANOpossibly. I hope her family knows that, because it looks like suicide
you think she did that on accident?? LOL floor mat or not she would still hit the break
The fact that the UA-camrs practically predicted the discovery of murders at the Red Lake is pretty disturbing too.
What UA-camrs? Im in too deep on this rabbit hole
@@Thegripper12qhat
@@Thegripper12 sarahfunk I think; when her husband joked about it being a murder site where the couple goes to the red lake and nobody ever sees them again
LOL skill issuez
I also visited Mitsero lake with my family in 2017. That day the water was dark brown instead of red, which almost disappointed us then, but even so, the place was really eerie - abandoned buildings near the road, not a single person around, the scorching sun and a strong smell of sulfur coming from the lake. I don’t remember if we joked about it then, but this trip left us a disturbing impression even before the story of these murders surfaced.
The pipe incident makes my blood boiling. They could've rescued them! They could've done anything to save them! They weren't in a position that's impossible to save them.
If they could retrieve the bodies later they could have retrieved them straight away. Was the survivor the only one who wanted to help them. The person who said no to dangerous should have been accountable for their deaths. As one man proved by getting out it was still possible. So upsetting to watch and listen to!
@@blondebrandythey were probably washed from the pipe, not retrieved by divers
It drove the public here insane as well. The company is widely despised. But due to their government contacts & corruption there hasn't been any further action.
A lot of experts here…
Concise and to the point recaps paired with your awesome edits , yo your videos are so addicting, brilliant work 👏
28:07
I remember hearing updates on this while driving home from school and the weeks to follow. Some stuff that was not mentioned in the video:
-after the incident, the families had gathered outside the company's headquarters to demand the divers rescue. The company did not allow them inside even when it started raining and only set up a tent.
-There was an outcry for the company to stop production to focus on saving the divers, they refused
I wish my country's legal system wasn't shit.
Wow… even if it was utterly hopeless, at least go down there and make an effort. I can’t imagine the pain of knowing there’s potential for my loved one to be saved and the only one capable of that wouldn’t even try, or even speak to me face to face.
I know automobile companies have a % of cars that they are willing to be defective because paying out lawsuits for crashes- even fatalities- is more cost effective than spending the resources to more thoroughly test. I wonder if a similar principle went into play here.
Damn, I would’ve liked to hear him cover this. This seems just as if not more important as the accident itself.
Crowd crush is an absolutely terrifying phenomenon. Just a year ago 159 people died in South Korea due to it.

The red lake one really shook me up. Just the idea that you’ve been right next to the remains of someone, without knowing, is just terrifying.
From my perspective (I also visited this lake in 2017, including the shore) - it’s not as horrifying as the fact that such terrible things happened in such a calm place. This motherfucker was the first (!) serial killer in the modern history of Cyprus, and I hope he rots in prison without anyone following in his footsteps.
I'm pretty sure thats a rock.
Another terrible tragedy that happened nearly 20 years ago was also called "Red Lake" in March 21
No different from a grave yard the pipe one is far worse
Why is it territying? A dead body is dead. The serial killer is terrifying. Not his poor victims.
immediately followed and i love your storytelling. when you mentioned MRBALLEN, i turned on all notifications to your videos too. thumbs up boss
The last one was so heartbreaking and so infuriating, I feel for Chris and how he must have felt after all the incident, the fact that Paria just left them to die and still wasn't charged for it it's just so enraging
Thank you for covering the Paria diving incident it truly was an event that struck our country to the core, we are all waiting for justice!
Well justice is never gonna come, those pieces of shit killed 4 people and got away scot free
The Pipe incident makes me mad as hell! Breaks my heart for the men who died in the pipe. What the company did is EVIL! They will rot in hell for this. I feel bad for Chris hope he is okay. Imagine making it out of the pipe alive just to see that your company is not lifting a finger to rescue your friends. It could’ve been you who is still stuck down there and the these f****** asshole do absolutely nothing. Ohhhhhhh makes my blood boil. I mean even if you survive, you have to live with that. That would haunt me for the rest of my life. I hope the knocking sounds will haunt the people who didn’t do anything to help these men get out of the pipe in their dreams for the rest of their lives. This is pure EVIL!!! 🤬

The anger I felt when I found out they never bothered to save the men in the Paria Pipeline incident is astounding. Those men for days were banging on the walls of the pipe, desperate for help with no response.
Gotta feel bad for the cop in the 1st part. Hes gotta live with the guilt that if he was a bit more harsh and arrested the couple than they could still be alive
no, that 24-year-old acted like a teenager, who has an ego problem, he was going to speed and crash, either in that afternoon, next day, or anyday with his date
@@mightyx5441not true. What a narrow minded and self righteous way to look at things. Let me guess, "you just know". BS. It only takes once to learn a lesson. The only thing we can know is had he arrested them they wouldn't have crashed that night.

I feel so bad for Christopher. Imagine being trapped, stuck in a claustrophobic tunnel, being the only person able to get out of the pipe as you hear your friends get further and further from you, and you call back that you're going to get them help- just for the company you work for to not help you go through that promise you made. It's sick, honestly, and I hope Christopher is doing better now, his bravery and friends won't be forgotten.
As a claustrophobe, this one is definitely nightmare-inducing. Both the German concert and the pipeline incident gave me severe anxiety. Thank you for the awesome work as always Nick
I‘m german. And the "Love Parade" event, which took place in Duisburg in 2010, was a complete disaster. Everything was cut corners in terms of organization. And today, nobody is taking responsibility for this incident. Unfortunately, it often feels like things are only improved in certain areas in Germany if a dramatic event has occurred beforehand...
The paria incident made me cry omg... Those poor poor men, and I can't imagine how Chris felt knowing he was the only one to survive while no one else bothered to help the others. I feel so awful for them, may they rest in peace.
Its not often that these incidents leave me feeling hopeless but that last story will definitely stick with me for awhile. My heart is with all the victims and their families
This legit left me angry knowing how scummy the company was and they didn't get punished? I hope Chris and the families can seek some justice ine day if they haven't
