Grab Atlas VPN for just $1.70/mo + 6 months extra before the BLACK FRIDAY deal expires: get.atlasvpn.com/blameitonjorge ✌🏻 I have a few more videos planned before the dreaded Lost Media Found in 2023 video💀Wish me luck bois
The supermarket story is a new one for me.... reminds me of a book I read some years ago about rat infestations that describes how someone saw a rat poking his head out of an air vent of a house somewhere in California.... when investiagted, they found a house with thousands of rats that the owner used to feed daily.... she died in the house and the rats also ate her dead body....🐀🐀🐀
It's not lost media but there is a place on Long Island called Camp Hero that is very strange I've never seen anyone since.....the 80's 90's pre 2000's talking about it and was wondering if you'd be interested in covering it????
In researching the case, a few newspapers stated the team had to wear specialist gear to protect themselves from countless diseases. They also had to be decontaminated before they could leave the building safely. The smell was absolutely terrible on the outside, making nearby residents sick... nobody knows how bad it was inside because everyone who entered donned air-filtering masks. By far one of the most dangerous places to enter at the time.
@@Crabgar There were so many hazards that pesticides had to be sprayed across the building to curb rodent and pest numbers. Even then, as Brian Boerner noted in this video, the pests were enough to cover up one's arm. The extent of rotting food + breeding + lack of human intervention of any kind due to incompetence mainly from the building's lien holder (Comercia Bank) caused the perfect storm.
Basically, The Mexia Supermarket is a textbook example of what would happen if humanity would suddenly vanish. No wonder it was used for "Life After People." Kind of sucks that the footage is gone
generally I'm all for recovering lost media but in this case not so sure why would that be so interesting .. like most distinct part of it is likely the smell and that wouldn't have been recorded anyway, other than that it's just critters and rotting food. we could recreate it if desired
@@snooks5607 Purposefully creating rotten food even in mass quantity just lose some of the fascination. It's basically just a science experiment. The Mexia case gained so much interest because it's a consequences of things that people never thought of.
You could only imagine how much damage multiple big supermarkets would do to an ecosystem and to the air quality and that's not including stuff like meat packing plants and slaughterhouses.
@@cgimichaelmyers2806exactly !!! We as people started this system and now it’s gotta continue being in motion or else like op said about the “life after people” documentary , we really would end up destroying the world if we all just got up and vanished
I really appreciate that Siegfried and Roy were very vocal for “do not blame the tiger, it is not his fault, they are in fact wild animals” afterwards. I don’t think tigers or any wild animals should be used for entertainment, but I feel like they at least understood what they were working with in a way many don’t. I think they did love and admire the animals they worked with, and I appreciate their respect for their tigers.
From what you showed of Pedro's death, it feels like he wanted to die, but didn't want it seem like a suicide, so he tricked his girlfriend into shooting him. He most likely knew how powerful that gun was and knew that book wasn't going to save him.
My thoughts exactly. You cannot tell me this guy bought a Desert Eagle and didn't know how powerful it was. If a dictionary was going to stop it, we might as well be going to war wearing Websters.
I'm glad they didn't give her a huge sentencing. I hope Perriz has been able to move on with her life with therapy and support for her kids after that day. I don't even want to know what that must have felt like.
I think Roy was protecting the tiger from being put down after Manticore reacted as any large predator would act, and attacked Roy as if he was prey. I respect him for not blaming the tiger for acting like a tiger, and continuing to care for it.
Meh I think I’d have respect for him if he didn’t decide to abuse animals for entertainment. He had what was coming to him. If he truly cared for animals he would have been involved in an animal sanctuary.
I mean he kept them even after not being able to do shows with them so it was likely he did care for them so I don't think you should just accuse him of not caring@@AshtonGarland
@@lightdarksoul2097 he put the animals in this situation, he abused them and then never let them live their lives in an animal sanctuary after. He didn’t care.
@@Exodus_Gaming7 your comment makes no sense, but yes it is abuse. Taking a wild animal out of its habitat, forcing it to preform, and NOT letting it live its life in an animal sanctuary is abuse
Monopolization, kid. The big companies are closing the most stores, so they're either giving away the food to charity, other shops or maybe to resupply a few things that restaurants have missing. The stuff that doesn't get used withers away. Some small startup in a small US city isn't that competent.
As Jorge mentioned they usually ether give the unsold product to a charity or sell it to another company. Its rare the owners will just lock up shop and ditch.
Thats where places like dollar stores get their stock from, it doesnt make sense to abandon money sitting on shelves when you can sell it, when you declare bankruptcy you are supposed to sell off all unnecessary assets to pay debts and the leftover stock should have been sold off.
Mexia Supermarket is among my favourite lost media topics. Something not discussed in this video is the fact that apparently, footage of people breaking into the store to steal canned goods exists, and that news reports of the incident were made. Just need someone in Fort Worth, Texas to share any home recordings they might have taken!
This makes a lot of sense as to how the environment in there became so ridden with pests and vermin, in such a short amount of time. It also explains why some of the footage shows goods on the floor like the place was ransacked. If people had breached doors and/or windows to break in, it would explain how so many pests were able to enter the building. Usually abandoned buildings, despite their contents, hold up a lot longer than Mexia did.
My dad and grandpa grew up in Fort Worth (my grandpa is very proud of being a native) but I strongly doubt they have anything considering they don’t live there anymore. We live nearby tho and visit it a lot.
I lived in Fort Worth all my life, in my mid twenties, and my dad lived in Fort Worth all his life too and neither of us have heard about Mexia Supermarket before. So this lost media is very interesting to me, but most likely there probably aren’t any media from surrounding areas from that years ago.
Well, if they could have found a way to stop the rats and mice, they could have burned it down. I believe I saw a government agency do this once. They did this by essentially making a giant wall of fire around perimeter of the contaminated house and then once that fire was up and burning, they began to burn the house. The outer ring prevented the rats and mice from escaping and allowed the house to be burned down without creating a mass exodus of rodents. Of course, the location of this building may have prevented this from happening.
I am genuinely fascinated by the Mexia Supermarket incident. I would love to see footage of a store full of food that hasn't been interacted by humans for months.
The Fort Worth Mexia story is a scary one that people really underestimate. Lots of people like to think any sort of apocalypse happened, they would be fine and could scavenge for food in businesses like in the Fallout video games. Not so, this store is a very serious showcase of exactly how bad conditions will get if maintenance stops, it's not even a building that got damaged, just a building that was no longer being maintained. A few months after the disaster hits, anything not already scavenged is going to be in a bioharzard zone.
I would love to see a survival horror game with a more realistic version of a supermarket as a level or environment that has to be trekked through It’s got some good untapped horror potential A biohazard makes for an interesting scary environment in a horror game
The issue with any big cat is just that... they are big cats. My cats will sometimes scratch me badly while just playing, a tiger doing that can knock your head off. I can totally believe the tiger didn't mean to hurt him but there's a reason the only cats we keep at home are small.
There is also a good deal of a difference neurologically between an animal that has been domesticated for 10k years and a wild animal. Sure, they can like you, just like you like them, but they fundamentally aren't adjusted to being with people.
@@thecryingsoul And even animals that *are* domesticated (cats actually aren't, but animals like dogs, horses, etc. are) are still that - domesticated animals. They aren't furry humans and people need to stop acting like they are. Humans are animals and we share many traits with other species, but anthropomorphism is harmful and dangerous.
The tiger sensing his stroke isn't impossible though. Of course since it's a wild animal its behavior can't be predicted but felines sensing injuries or illness in people is completely accurate. We can't ask the tiger why it did it of course, but considering the video didn't mention that it has harmed the magicians before or after the incident it's likely it didnt mean harm.
@@meow-rr1gd I never said it's impossible. Like I said I find it very much possible that it didnt mean to hurt him. My only point was that they can hurt us very badly even if they really didnt mean to.
I actually met Siegfried when I visited my family in Las Vegas back before he died. He seemed like a genuinely good and kindhearted person, and even gave me a souvenir (a quarter, which he had pulled from under my wrist, with a fuzzy sticker of a white tiger on it.) I unfortunately lost the quarter only a few days later in my hotel room. It's something I think about often. I didn't even know who he was at the time when he gave it to me.
reminds me of when my mom talked about the time her fridge went out while it had hamburger meat in it and she came back to a horror show. i should probably also mention this was when she lived in florida.
The Sun newspaper is genuinely one of the worst publications you can imagine. Blaming football fans for the death of 96 fans on top of all the other horrendous things they’ve done
Really sad incident with Roy and Manticore. I don't believe large predators should be show animals. Respect is a sibling of fear and large cats should be respected
I truly believe that Manticore didn't intend to injure Roy. You're absolutely right and large predators should not be show animals, but it also seems like Roy and Manticore had a real bond. Unfortunately with animals it's almost impossible to predict what they might do next, especially with a predator like a tiger. Just hope they're together wherever they are now.
Animals shouldn't be show animals, period. Elephants, horses and whatever other popular non-predator show animals can be dangerous and they go through immense abuse just the same. I'm so tired of people just making this statement in regards to big felines and crap as if those are the only animals that deserve to be free of this mistreatment because the media loves portraying predators as inherently more dangerous to humans specifically, while some herbivores are responsible for tens of times more deaths than any large felines. Irregardless an animal'd kill count shouldn't determine whether they should be abused in human hands
i just have a hard time feeling any sympathy for him.. or any performer who gets attacked by their animals really. they're just acting on instinct and rightfully snapping when they've had enough. why humans continue to put innocent creatures through torture and then blame them after they fight back is beyond me.
@@angelicpretty777 exactly. In kind, his claim that the tiger was just helping him sounds delusional. I have no doubt a tiger COULD act out of genuine concern for a human, but 90% of the time, if the animal is feral, it doesn't care one bit. It's a wild animal and just because it attacked him without killing him doesn't mean it cared for his wellbeing. Roy to me sounds deranged to think this, but then any people trying to domesticate wild animals as if it's not a largely very long evolutionary process are sick in the head regardless. Zero sympathy
@@WillowpostingThe fact that Manticore could have kill Roy, but didn’t, makes me think that on some level that the tiger did not intend to harm to the extent they did. It reminds me of how some times that my cat will grab hold and bunny kick if he gets too overstimulated, like he never means to “kill me” - but to assert the fact that this is done. But, it still leaves me with a scratchy or two that I have to take care of and I try to adjust my behavior so then he indicates when he wants attention more than myself. Or the tiger was asserting a boundary or could have been viewing it as “play time” but when realizing that Roy was not moving, pulled back. But anyways, contact between big cats and humans should be restricted bc a tiger asserting a boundary is a lot more dangerous then a house cat.
Ironically businesses have been fined for doing things like that. Nowadays there's a much bigger consciousness about food waste so there's pick up services to take away the donations and businesses get the bragging rights for their ISO 9001 certification while also offloading the liability to charity organizations.
There's no incentive. If they donate, they don't get any money. They may be able to write it off on their taxes, but their business failed and they're leaving the country, so probably didn't have any profit to write off anyway.
If you want to know about a tragic happening that occurred in a supermarket you should read up about the Ycua Bolaños tragedy from Paraguay. Basically, it was a huge supermarket that looked very modern, but it had practically no ventilation system for the grills at the food court, one day a fire broke out and the owners locked the doors because they didn't want people to leave without paying. Hundreds died, some burned to death, others died instantly by the toxic gas inhalantion and a few were reduced to ashes since they never found their bodies
@@pablocasas5906 por lo que leí ahora los culpables están libres por buen comportamiento?!? Grande la justicia para las pobres familias de las víctimas
@@pablocasas5906 How stupid were they locking the customers right in the fire instead of looking out for the wellbeing to escape the building? Shame also despite being in prison for a while only they got released because of "good behavior".
What happened at the Mexia supermarket should be a plot point in every zombie or apocalypse movie ever, yet in those movies the grocery stores are always abandoned yet clean and full of useful food items. In reality they would be death traps.
Geez, the thought of a supermarket turning into a biohazard by simply being abandoned for a few months really disturbs me. How the pests, gas, and molds didn't escape and infest the entire surroundings bewilders me. Everyone was lucky
It was a problem for nearby businesses and homes. You could see the rats from the street. And it smelled after about a week. It wasn’t like it was a surprise for anybody.
Am I crazy, or is it kind of wholesome Roy "forgave" manticore and kept him until he passed? He likely knew Manticore wouldn't find a happy home otherwise.
I think he was incredibly dumb to keep a tiger to begin with but yeah I respect that he at least kept him and treated hm well for the remainder of its life
Well it would make sense if he was comfortable with Manticore and truly believed that Manticore was trying to help him after noticing the stroke. It lines up with his account of the events
@@blameitonjorgewhat's up blameitonjorge I watched your videos every day keep up the good work man my name is John Whitney I'm your biggest fan of your channel keep it up my birthday is January 3rd 2000 and I love watching your videos please reply to me I had medical issues and please do more lost media videos I enjoyed it it helps me through these medical issues that I have thanks for everything blameitonjorge your the best UA-camr
The Mexia grocery store one is the most interesting one discussed, I would truly love to watch that footage no matter how disgusting it is. The gross negligence behind the story and the result of human abandonment causing biohazards to this degree isn’t something that’s common.
We often joke about the comical horror of refrigerators with expired food, but I never thought of imagining the actual terror of an entire abandoned supermarket filled with rotting produce and pest infestation.
really hope that whoever owned that supermarket got charged with bioterrorism because oh my god, I don’t think I’ve ever seen something so horrific being caused be sheer neglect
The articles online mostly describe local residents being frustrated that they intentionally didn’t donate the food, and locked the doors. It just shows how incompetent and despicable the owners were, as they could’ve easily liquidated their assets by donating their food (not even selling it).
RE: the Rotten Relic story -- Every time I watch a zombie/post apocalypse movie, it annoys me when they go into perfectly clean grocery stores for "provisions." Can we have at least one accurate movie where they walk into a store and start barfing at the stench and are bombarded by insects?
I would rather think everything has been looted a long time ago so there's nothing to be found. We all know how quickly people start to loot so there wouldn't be much left to rot of anything. Maybe dead rodents and bugs but nothing lie Mexia.
@@sylverscale fair point! But the stores in the movies still look a bit clean to have been looted-- I still feel like we're missing some authenticity (as authentic as a zombie movie can be lol)
@@sylverscaleI feel like perishable foods like meat and fresh produce wouldn’t be touched because most of them would be spoiled before looters can get to them.
I worked in pest control for over 20 years. I saw a lot of gnarly things in residential and commercial kitchens, but nothing like that Mexia footage. Unthinkably gross, not to mention hazardous to the surrounding community.
The Mexia Supermarket story is very scary and eerie to me that the owners of the store should've gave that food to charity or other business instead of went south and they should be held accountable from abandoning the store like that.
Honestly, I would blame the bank for that instead of the original owners because after they filled for bankruptcy, the property (as well as the food) got repossessed by the bank.
They were not paying rent on the property and the owners trespassed them. Or something to that effect. They were open until the very last moment before they were evicted.
My father went to Vegas for work. He attended one of the tiger shows a few weeks before the incident and purchased me a white tiger plush. I still have it :)
Couldn't they have used a less powerful gun, thicker book or heres a crazy idea, never did it in the first place? I feel sorry for the girlfriend. She was coerced into doing it and he messed up her life forever while he "went to heaven"
@@happyskull2345 it's dumb regardless but that's imo the most incomprehensible thing about it, why would you assume the book has to be able to stop the bullet, were they so poor they only had one bullet/book?
i mean if the tiger really wanted him dead, like you said, he would of been dead. Without the footage we wont know, the problem is this is a huge cat even if it was trying to safe him or was playing it could of easily harmed him without thinking. I mean even my dog bites to hard sometimes when he is playing so its not out of the realm, most the time when they have "prey" they wont let go and wont let anyone take it so it is odd he pulled him to the side and just let go
The footage of 9/11 jumpers is also a good addition to this list. Very few videos of jumpers impacting exist, though there are a couple out there taken from very far away. It’s highly disturbing and most of it was never released/was lost
The one from the hotel right across from the towers is wild. Where the person instantly evaporates, like nothing but blood vapor when it hits the stage cover/stage. Terrifying to grasp how fast that went from a thinking, scared person to nothing recognizable as human.
Very interesting to hear a story about The Sun (Or if you are a British local, "The Scum"). The City of Liverpool has the rag banned in some places, as it's coverage of the 'Hillsborough Disaster' was a vile, victim blaming campaign.
Maybe it would be a good idea to contact people who worked on that specific episode of Life After People to see if they retained any assets. They probably won't be able to share what they have, but it would still be worth finding out if more footage at least exists.
I checked the wiki page on the incident and apparently the tape of the store walk around was so badly degraded by the time Life After Death asked for it, only what was seen in the show could be used. The rest had just, ironically enough, rotted away to the point of being unwatchable.
{Had to repost this comment sorry) VHS tapes don't usually degrade that fast even when they aren't stored in great conditions. I once had to transfer a few tapes that were stored in a hot shed for a decade and they played fine without any issues. Perhaps the person who said that meant that the editors for the show only used the best footage in the episode. Even tapes that are noticeably degraded are still in fact very watchable
@@officialFredDurstfanclubI am the one who contacted Brian Boerner and he said this exactly. "Unfortunately, I don’t think the original footage still exists. It was originally taken on an Home VHS format and had degraded significantly by the time that we were able to cur portions out for the LAP folks to use. Additionally, it has been more than 10 years since I have been associated with the City of Fort Worth and, unfortunately, I have not had any control over their records retention at since my departure. IF they cannot find it, then it probably does not exists." This was after I emailed someone who currently worked at Ft Worth Environmental Managament and their team couldn't find any footage.
The mexia supermarket story is so disgustingly intriguing to me…. It does bother me that so much food went to waste (not for the rats and cockroaches though, they were having a good time!)
There's something so infuriating about hearing a man with a child and a pregnant wife saying "I'm ready to die and go to Jesus" and "we're all gonna die anyway" as if he wouldn't be leaving his family behind to fend for themselves.
Yes we’re all going to die, but not soon. These people with that mindset are so stupid. Don’t marry, don’t have children. Then have that mindset of ‘we’re all going to die anyways hehe’. Get yourself a Darwin Award, but don’t involve others in your stupidity. It’s like with those cave divers and then they get stuck, leaving their family behind and die alone in that cave. Just don’t marry dude. You wanna crawl into small spaces so badly? Be alone the rest of your life and go on useless adventures!
The Mexia Supermarket story really fascinates me. It's sounds straight out of a post-apocalyptic setting. Sad that little footage survived. I would've loved to see the interior in all of it's disgusting glory, in 4K quality.
There's a whole genre of cleaning videos on UA-cam. There's even entire games about cleaning - look at PowerWashing Simulator. There's something very satisfying about seeing a place go from a total mess to sparking clean, and the supermarket would've been the ultimate example of that.
It would be great if someone took the footage we have from the Life After People episode 'The Last Supper' and restored or enhanced it with AI so that we could maybe see what brands of chips were on the shelves. I am the one who contacted Brian Boerner and he said that the tape was already degraded when Life After People used it.
When I heard supermarket I thought you might talk about that supermarket where some employee fell into a gap behind a wall of freezers and died there, only to be found 10 years later when the supermarket closed down and freezers were removed. I was hoping there might have been some security footage. But this was interesting too, I never knew about the Mexia supermarket. Could you imagine having to clean that? Oof!
I honestly wouldn’t mind watching a part-two. There’s so much interesting lost media surrounding real-life events. It’s Definitely a topic I think you should re-visit someday.
Except that he'd already reproduced at least once, maybe twice. Usually having kids makes people behave just a little bit better, they want to be around to help their offspring survive.
Tough luck, he already reproduced so his DNA is in the gene pool. Do people just throw around "Darwin Award" without thinking about what it meant originally?
Im not surprised the Mexia supermarket footage was lost. I work in the dept. of my city that handles records of the city, so for contracts, deeds, etc. Here in Tx there are retention schedules (the time given for a document has to be retained before destroyed) for everything, camera footage, minutes from city council meetings, etc. I’m not sure how long the retention schedule would be in the health dept. so maybe there chances are it already could’ve hit the retention date and got destroyed (usually tapings only are about 2 years) or people working at the time just lost it somewhere (not an ideal situation but hey, it happens). In my town the person working before us didn’t do a good job of record keeping and we’re right now trying to figure out what has been saved and what was thrown out.
It's a shame the Mexia Supermarkey footage is probably lost forever. The footage has that abandoned building exploration vibe I like. Plus, out of all the lost media mentioned, this is "tame" given the context of the other entries(just nasty sanitary-wise).
The idea that the Tiger was actually trying to save Roy's life rather than attack him isn't that far fetched--i recently watched a docu about a pig who saved her owner who fell over, unable to move, having a stroke...
yeah, especially if he had raised it since a cub... people forget that big cats can be really easily domesticated and will care about their owner the same as a house cat
I was wondering if the tiger sensed that something was happening with Roy. Dogs and cats both have been working as trained cancer, epilepsy and diabetic emergency animals. They are able to sense that cancer is present in their owners, and tell when the owner is going into an epileptic seizure or diabetic coma.
The last one really scared me…it’s devastating for one to lose a partner in an extremely dangerous video. Those kids will now grow up knowing what their mother did.
The story about the guy who jumped at the concert in 2010 was one I was working at the time as a student volunteer up in Saratoga. I was up in the spotlight tower when it all happened. None of the students were allowed to have our phones on during any of the concerts. I also worked at the Drake Bell concert up there
I really like to think Manticore really was trying to help him. With the fact that he didn’t finish him off and that they lived peacefully together for the rest of the tiger’s life, I think that could really be the case
the book deagle one is the stupidest thing ive ever seen, he basically committed suicide and was acknowledging it, and his wife who was basically pressured into it has to deal with the fact that her husband was an idiot.
UA-cam lost media is the most intriguing type of lost media for me. Videos that were made to be seen by thousands, if not millions of people online, only to disappear off the face of the earth like that is so interesting to me on a mysterious note.
I read some descriptions and think they sound good, but then I get the message that the video does not exist anymore. It shows that having a local, physical copy is important.
Reading more about the last one, it's really no wonder they gave her such a relatively lenient sentence. She could allegedly be heard refusing to go through with it multiple times, begging him to not make her do it, and he kept demanding she shot him.
@@anthonycalderon3039Not exactly. They get paid to make the video by a sponsor, because the sponsor expects a certain amount of return on their investment. No one needs to watch the sponsorship segment in order for the youtuber to make money, but they are legally required to include it. Its just that nice youtubers give a timestamp to skip it because the majority of people do not care, and just skip it manually anyway
I’ve never heard of Siegfried & Roy, so for most of that first entry I was dreading the outcome of what happens to the tiger- I remember that circus elephant rampage in Hawaii that went as horribly as it could’ve, for both civilians and the elephant. An absolute nightmare. I was fully expecting to hear Roy died, the tiger was put down, and for there to be a huge stupid debate on using wild animals in show acts. I actually sighed in relief when that wasn’t the case. I’m glad Roy survived, I’m glad the tiger survived, and I’m glad most ppl seem to agree tigers aren’t mindless killing machines (they just aren’t good costars… bc they’re wild animals). I’m skeptical abt Roy claiming the tiger knew he was having a stroke, it’s possible, but I think I lean more towards the tiger being spooked. It’s also possible it was just trying to play fight and didn’t realize how much damage it dealt until it was too late.
Mantacore was hand-raised by the two magicians from a very young cub, he was really comfortable with the stage, the acts, and especially his 'parents'. While I agree he may have been a little startled by the change in script, a tiger isn't a prey animal, who gets nervous when things aren't what they expect; they're apex predators, and they adapt to unexpected situations. The fact that Mantacore grabbed Roy's sleeve before anything feels like he was trying to warn his 'dad' that something was wrong, because he did let go when Roy gave him the release command. When Mantacore dragged Roy off the stage, he dropped him and went to sit in his cage for dinner. That said, there are conflicting stories, and without the video to analyze, we'll never know. Roy claimed he stumbled and fell as the stroke began, and that's what caused Mantacore to jump at him and pull him off stage. A stagehand and electrician working that night said he grabbed Mantacore's tail which caused the tiger to stop long enough for someone to shoot a fire extinguisher at it, which is what actually made the tiger drop him. An animal handler came out in 2019 and told the Hollywood Reporter *he* was the one who grabbed the tiger, and he yelled for someone to grab a fire extingusher, and someone else stuck their fingers in the tiger's mouth to make him drop Roy. The Hollywood Reporter did try to contact other people to corroborate the handler's story, but no one responded. Siegfried and Roy maintained to their deaths the tiger wasn't trying to hurt him, even though it did, and going back to live in that mansion with all of those other tigers loose makes me lean toward their story. Siegfried agreed with everything his partner claimed, and said he didn't know why that animal handler came out and said those things. The USDA investigated, and even if the two only said the tiger was only reacting to prevent it from being put down, they still kept him close until Mantacore passed away, and kept working with their other tigers. To me, that says they're confident that they weren't in danger living with their family, and what really happened is, to me, less important than knowing everyone was okay in the end.
I figured the Owen Hart fall would've been included. it was during a live Pay Per View, but when he actually fell, the broadcast was away at a pretaped interview. Multiple cameras in the building, including two stationary cameras, caught him falling 90 feet to his death in a wrestling ring. WWE has confirmed they have footage of it, but will obviously never release it. in their vault, it's labeled "never to be played, distributed, or destroyed"
Another thing to consider is that back in the late 90s, handheld fan cameras were almost completely prohibited and quite hard to sneak into wrestling show venues. There are people who say they’ve seen a leaked “fan cam” video of Hart’s fall on P2P sites in the early 2000s. Because of what I mentioned above, I am very very skeptical of these claims. More likely, they saw the video from the New Jack Vs Vic Grimes scaffold match that used to get passed off as Owen.
That’s what this video immediately made me think of. Same kind of deal: there’s footage out there of this person dying, but nobody is going to release it.
From top 20 disturbing moments of kids shows to lost media, Jorge had came a long way with his interesting videos. A part of my childhood and a nice nostalgia that scares me
I was lucky enough to see Siegfried and Roy a year or two before the attack. Some of the acts did have dangerous elements like tigers and fire, but it wasn't played for shock appeal whatsoever. It was pure spectacle, everything was big and flashy, there was a giant fire-breathing animatronic dragon, lines of dancers, big animals and props. As a young magician I was a little disappointed by the lack of hands-on tricks and sleight of hand but I loved it for what it was. They were incredibly imaginative magicians that clearly loved what they were doing.
As fascinating as the supermarket story is it’s equally frustrating because that food could have fed so many people, the owners probably wouldn’t have even had to pay anyone to pick it up if they had contacted a food bank. But instead it was left to fester and rot only feeding rats and insects. I imagine the clean-up was not exactly cheap either. Yuck, I can’t imagine being in there, even with a hazmat suit lol
ever been in a grocery store when the power goes out and they start throwing out all the meat? it's wild how quickly meat starts to rot if you let it sit, let alone in Texas. can not imagine how gross the Mexia situation was
I believe Roy's side, they were always fair to their animals, there's no reason Manticore would have simply "attacked", and they can sense problems. We've seen household dogs do similar acts in events of stroke, getting their owner to safety or trying to keep them conscious Also, I feel terrible for the girl in the last one, but, goddamn that was irredeemably stupid. On both of their parts.
I recall it was either Siegfried or Roy who begged for Manticore to not be killed right after Manticore bit Roy. Even after such a gruesome event, they wanted to make sure the tiger was safe.
I live down the street from that mexia store. I kept driving past it wondering if anything was ever going to be done about it. I bet it was beyond nasty. I went into that store once or twice when it was open and it didn't seem super clean then so it must have just festered in the Texas heat.
Wow! Is there anything else you can remember? I helped with research on this story. You might want to look up the article about Mexia on the Lost Media Wiki for more details. The store was said to have served a low income area. Did you know there was a public meeting at a school over there that December about the incident? The smell had apparently persisted after the cleanup.
I imagine every newspaper, news office etc has a room filled with stuff they are not reporting. Biggest reason would simply be they can not prove the details but they might be able to later, or the information is a snippet and not a story. Every single time a big scandal breaks there are instantly always extra details, previous claims that went ignored etc. As the story has now broken, that solid rumor and interview but zero proof goes from 'we will get sued if we print that with no evidence' to 'we were onto him years ago but just could not prove it!'
I feel like the girl shouldn’t have gone to jail for that she kept telling him she didn’t wanna do it and was basically pressured to do it by her husband
Unfortunately, the law doesn't see it that way, and there was no forceful coercion making her do it. She had no intention of killing him, which is why she didnt get murder.
Doesn't matter whether she felt pressured into it or not; she still had full control over her actions. She could have easily left the situation by just walking away from it, or calling for help in some way. I don't believe he had _that_ much power over her to where she was somehow scared into submission. Do I believe that she had intent to kill him? Of course not. But even though she had no motive, she still participated in it, and she did pull the trigger. She still caused his death, however "accidental". So she deserves to be held accountable for her actions.

Perez's arrest is one of the best examples of American law seeing a tragedy and pouring salt into the wound. A woman is jailed and blamed after her husband kills himself... You couldn't do something worse than this to a grieving pregnant widow with a child to raise. Really sick that she was put through all that when it was incredibly obvious that she was the victim.
That last bit is a prime example of incompetence. When the man holds the Desert Eagle he has his finger on the trigger which you should only do when you intend to shoot. They had no idea on how to even handle a gun, let alone use it for shooting at anything, even a target.
Back stage they had holding cages for the tigers. After Manticore removed him, the way cats carry kittens, he released him and got in his cage and waited. That wasn't an attack.
The mexia supermarket incident is the perfect example of why surviving an apocalypse would be way harder that the movies and TV series make it seem, you just can't walk to a place like that and grab some cans like nothing happens, those places would be death traps due to the biohazard
I grew up around the Dallas/Fort Worth area and remember my dad telling me about the Mexia Supermarket. I didn't think I would hear about it on this channel, but I'm glad to have heard more about it here
The Mexia Supermarket story caught my attention solely because of Life After People. Soon as that guy being interviewed popped up, I was like "that set up looks incredibly familiar" and once you said it, I thought "called it. Knew I'd seen that footage somewhere".
In the article on the Lost Media Wiki it says North Texas University has the archives of a news station which include Mexia stories but the university doesn't accept digitization requests from the public.
Wow! I currently work in a supermarket part time and I have seen some food items go bad. We throw them away in special containers, but that story of the Mexia is insane! Just gives you a view of "Life after Humans" for sure!

The supermarket story is a new one for me.... reminds me of a book I read some years ago about rat infestations that describes how someone saw a rat poking his head out of an air vent of a house somewhere in California.... when investiagted, they found a house with thousands of rats that the owner used to feed daily.... she died in the house and the rats also ate her dead body....🐀🐀🐀

@@eggsforbreakfast2718 that sounds very intriguing
I’ll be here to timestamp that video
That Mexia Supermarket story is really eerie, I can't even imagine what that specialist team had to endure in there
In researching the case, a few newspapers stated the team had to wear specialist gear to protect themselves from countless diseases. They also had to be decontaminated before they could leave the building safely. The smell was absolutely terrible on the outside, making nearby residents sick... nobody knows how bad it was inside because everyone who entered donned air-filtering masks. By far one of the most dangerous places to enter at the time.
@@TheGood888 Almost sounds irradiated. It's crazy that a mass of food rotting could leave such a zone of pestilence.
@@Crabgar There were so many hazards that pesticides had to be sprayed across the building to curb rodent and pest numbers. Even then, as Brian Boerner noted in this video, the pests were enough to cover up one's arm. The extent of rotting food + breeding + lack of human intervention of any kind due to incompetence mainly from the building's lien holder (Comercia Bank) caused the perfect storm.
I found it more fascinating than eerie. It formed its own weird ecosystem in there
@@Crabgar super duper mart irl, better watch out for raiders and giant radscorpions
Basically, The Mexia Supermarket is a textbook example of what would happen if humanity would suddenly vanish. No wonder it was used for "Life After People." Kind of sucks that the footage is gone
generally I'm all for recovering lost media but in this case not so sure why would that be so interesting .. like most distinct part of it is likely the smell and that wouldn't have been recorded anyway, other than that it's just critters and rotting food. we could recreate it if desired
@@snooks5607 Purposefully creating rotten food even in mass quantity just lose some of the fascination. It's basically just a science experiment.

@@cgimichaelmyers2806exactly !!! We as people started this system and now it’s gotta continue being in motion or else like op said about the “life after people” documentary , we really would end up destroying the world if we all just got up and vanished
I really appreciate that Siegfried and Roy were very vocal for “do not blame the tiger, it is not his fault, they are in fact wild animals” afterwards. I don’t think tigers or any wild animals should be used for entertainment, but I feel like they at least understood what they were working with in a way many don’t. I think they did love and admire the animals they worked with, and I appreciate their respect for their tigers.
Especially since we’ve heard so many stories over the years about circus animals and such being severely mistreated/abused
Well, Timothy Treadwell said the same thing.
From what you showed of Pedro's death, it feels like he wanted to die, but didn't want it seem like a suicide, so he tricked his girlfriend into shooting him. He most likely knew how powerful that gun was and knew that book wasn't going to save him.
My thoughts exactly. You cannot tell me this guy bought a Desert Eagle and didn't know how powerful it was. If a dictionary was going to stop it, we might as well be going to war wearing Websters.
Yeah... or at least make a test without putting him in danger... See if the bullet get through the book and make practice shoots too...

Meh I think I’d have respect for him if he didn’t decide to abuse animals for entertainment. He had what was coming to him. If he truly cared for animals he would have been involved in an animal sanctuary.

i'm honestly surprised more abandoned grocery stores don't have tons of food rotting away.
Considering the vast amount of shady food markets I’ve been through, I’m also VERY surprised there aren’t more egregious cases like Mexia.
Monopolization, kid. The big companies are closing the most stores, so they're either giving away the food to charity, other shops or maybe to resupply a few things that restaurants have missing. The stuff that doesn't get used withers away.
Some small startup in a small US city isn't that competent.
Oh i can guarantee it's not going to charity...
As Jorge mentioned they usually ether give the unsold product to a charity or sell it to another company. Its rare the owners will just lock up shop and ditch.
Thats where places like dollar stores get their stock from, it doesnt make sense to abandon money sitting on shelves when you can sell it, when you declare bankruptcy you are supposed to sell off all unnecessary assets to pay debts and the leftover stock should have been sold off.
Mexia Supermarket is among my favourite lost media topics. Something not discussed in this video is the fact that apparently, footage of people breaking into the store to steal canned goods exists, and that news reports of the incident were made. Just need someone in Fort Worth, Texas to share any home recordings they might have taken!
This makes a lot of sense as to how the environment in there became so ridden with pests and vermin, in such a short amount of time. It also explains why some of the footage shows goods on the floor like the place was ransacked.
If people had breached doors and/or windows to break in, it would explain how so many pests were able to enter the building. Usually abandoned buildings, despite their contents, hold up a lot longer than Mexia did.
My dad and grandpa grew up in Fort Worth (my grandpa is very proud of being a native) but I strongly doubt they have anything considering they don’t live there anymore. We live nearby tho and visit it a lot.
Might ask my parents aboht it since theyve lived here for about 20 yeras now. See if they know anything n all.
Is the building still there and being uses as something else?
I lived in Fort Worth all my life, in my mid twenties, and my dad lived in Fort Worth all his life too and neither of us have heard about Mexia Supermarket before. So this lost media is very interesting to me, but most likely there probably aren’t any media from surrounding areas from that years ago.
The fact that the supermarket couldn't even be burned down because it was such a biohazard is... _petrifying_
At that point, it basically became the biohazard equivalent of a "Dirty Bomb"
Well, if they could have found a way to stop the rats and mice, they could have burned it down.
I believe I saw a government agency do this once. They did this by essentially making a giant wall of fire around perimeter of the contaminated house and then once that fire was up and burning, they began to burn the house. The outer ring prevented the rats and mice from escaping and allowed the house to be burned down without creating a mass exodus of rodents.
Of course, the location of this building may have prevented this from happening.
If they had burnt it down, it probably would’ve been disastrous for the town.
If they did they would've summoned Nurgle
...Nurgel....? Like, Slaanesh and those other god-like things?
I am genuinely fascinated by the Mexia Supermarket incident. I would love to see footage of a store full of food that hasn't been interacted by humans for months.

the fukushima supermarkets are just that
The Fort Worth Mexia story is a scary one that people really underestimate. Lots of people like to think any sort of apocalypse happened, they would be fine and could scavenge for food in businesses like in the Fallout video games. Not so, this store is a very serious showcase of exactly how bad conditions will get if maintenance stops, it's not even a building that got damaged, just a building that was no longer being maintained. A few months after the disaster hits, anything not already scavenged is going to be in a bioharzard zone.
I would love to see a survival horror game with a more realistic version of a supermarket as a level or environment that has to be trekked through
It’s got some good untapped horror potential
A biohazard makes for an interesting scary environment in a horror game

The issue with any big cat is just that... they are big cats. My cats will sometimes scratch me badly while just playing, a tiger doing that can knock your head off.
I can totally believe the tiger didn't mean to hurt him but there's a reason the only cats we keep at home are small.
There is also a good deal of a difference neurologically between an animal that has been domesticated for 10k years and a wild animal. Sure, they can like you, just like you like them, but they fundamentally aren't adjusted to being with people.
@@thecryingsoul And even animals that *are* domesticated (cats actually aren't, but animals like dogs, horses, etc. are) are still that - domesticated animals. They aren't furry humans and people need to stop acting like they are. Humans are animals and we share many traits with other species, but anthropomorphism is harmful and dangerous.
The tiger sensing his stroke isn't impossible though. Of course since it's a wild animal its behavior can't be predicted but felines sensing injuries or illness in people is completely accurate. We can't ask the tiger why it did it of course, but considering the video didn't mention that it has harmed the magicians before or after the incident it's likely it didnt mean harm.

Really sad incident with Roy and Manticore. I don't believe large predators should be show animals. Respect is a sibling of fear and large cats should be respected
I truly believe that Manticore didn't intend to injure Roy.
You're absolutely right and large predators should not be show animals, but it also seems like Roy and Manticore had a real bond.
Unfortunately with animals it's almost impossible to predict what they might do next, especially with a predator like a tiger.
Just hope they're together wherever they are now.
Animals shouldn't be show animals, period. Elephants, horses and whatever other popular non-predator show animals can be dangerous and they go through immense abuse just the same. I'm so tired of people just making this statement in regards to big felines and crap as if those are the only animals that deserve to be free of this mistreatment because the media loves portraying predators as inherently more dangerous to humans specifically, while some herbivores are responsible for tens of times more deaths than any large felines. Irregardless an animal'd kill count shouldn't determine whether they should be abused in human hands
i just have a hard time feeling any sympathy for him.. or any performer who gets attacked by their animals really. they're just acting on instinct and rightfully snapping when they've had enough. why humans continue to put innocent creatures through torture and then blame them after they fight back is beyond me.
@@angelicpretty777 exactly. In kind, his claim that the tiger was just helping him sounds delusional. I have no doubt a tiger COULD act out of genuine concern for a human, but 90% of the time, if the animal is feral, it doesn't care one bit. It's a wild animal and just because it attacked him without killing him doesn't mean it cared for his wellbeing. Roy to me sounds deranged to think this, but then any people trying to domesticate wild animals as if it's not a largely very long evolutionary process are sick in the head regardless. Zero sympathy
@@WillowpostingThe fact that Manticore could have kill Roy, but didn’t, makes me think that on some level that the tiger did not intend to harm to the extent they did. It reminds me of how some times that my cat will grab hold and bunny kick if he gets too overstimulated, like he never means to “kill me” - but to assert the fact that this is done. But, it still leaves me with a scratchy or two that I have to take care of and I try to adjust my behavior so then he indicates when he wants attention more than myself.
Or the tiger was asserting a boundary or could have been viewing it as “play time” but when realizing that Roy was not moving, pulled back. But anyways, contact between big cats and humans should be restricted bc a tiger asserting a boundary is a lot more dangerous then a house cat.
It's painful to know how much food got rotten at the Mexia supermarket. Why the owners could not just give it away?
Ironically businesses have been fined for doing things like that. Nowadays there's a much bigger consciousness about food waste so there's pick up services to take away the donations and businesses get the bragging rights for their ISO 9001 certification while also offloading the liability to charity organizations.
it’s very wasteful
There were probably too cheap and in a hurry to get back home.
Laziness and indifference.
There's no incentive. If they donate, they don't get any money. They may be able to write it off on their taxes, but their business failed and they're leaving the country, so probably didn't have any profit to write off anyway.
The Mexia Supermarket story is extremely interesting. I've never heard of anything like it, thats truly a unique scenario.
If you want to know about a tragic happening that occurred in a supermarket you should read up about the Ycua Bolaños tragedy from Paraguay. Basically, it was a huge supermarket that looked very modern, but it had practically no ventilation system for the grills at the food court, one day a fire broke out and the owners locked the doors because they didn't want people to leave without paying. Hundreds died, some burned to death, others died instantly by the toxic gas inhalantion and a few were reduced to ashes since they never found their bodies

i'll definitely be incorporating something similar into my story with an apocalyptic setting lol
Geez, the thought of a supermarket turning into a biohazard by simply being abandoned for a few months really disturbs me. How the pests, gas, and molds didn't escape and infest the entire surroundings bewilders me. Everyone was lucky
It was a problem for nearby businesses and homes. You could see the rats from the street. And it smelled after about a week. It wasn’t like it was a surprise for anybody.
Am I crazy, or is it kind of wholesome Roy "forgave" manticore and kept him until he passed? He likely knew Manticore wouldn't find a happy home otherwise.
I think he was incredibly dumb to keep a tiger to begin with but yeah I respect that he at least kept him and treated hm well for the remainder of its life
Well it would make sense if he was comfortable with Manticore and truly believed that Manticore was trying to help him after noticing the stroke. It lines up with his account of the events
Yeah i was prepared to hear that the tiger had to be put down, I'm glad it got to live it's full life
Yes I respect that it lived a good life because unfortunately with most animals in captivity when they attack their handlers they get put down
Manticore would have been euthanized if Roy hadn't survived the attack and kept him.

active grocery stores have that too

The articles online mostly describe local residents being frustrated that they intentionally didn’t donate the food, and locked the doors.
It just shows how incompetent and despicable the owners were, as they could’ve easily liquidated their assets by donating their food (not even selling it).

The Mexia Supermarket story is very scary and eerie to me that the owners of the store should've gave that food to charity or other business instead of went south and they should be held accountable from abandoning the store like that.
Honestly, I would blame the bank for that instead of the original owners because after they filled for bankruptcy, the property (as well as the food) got repossessed by the bank.

They were not paying rent on the property and the owners trespassed them. Or something to that effect. They were open until the very last moment before they were evicted.

The way he's talking about accepting death if the stunt failed, kind of seems like he wanted this to be the outcome.

Without the footage we wont know, the problem is this is a huge cat even if it was trying to safe him or was playing it could of easily harmed him without thinking. I mean even my dog bites to hard sometimes when he is playing so its not out of the realm, most the time when they have "prey" they wont let go and wont let anyone take it so it is odd he pulled him to the side and just let go

VHS tapes don't usually degrade that fast even when they aren't stored in great conditions. I once had to transfer a few tapes that were stored in a hot shed for a decade and they played fine without any issues.

Yes we’re all going to die, but not soon. These people with that mindset are so stupid. Don’t marry, don’t have children. Then have that mindset of ‘we’re all going to die anyways hehe’. Get yourself a Darwin Award, but don’t involve others in your stupidity.
It’s like with those cave divers and then they get stuck, leaving their family behind and die alone in that cave. Just don’t marry dude. You wanna crawl into small spaces so badly? Be alone the rest of your life and go on useless adventures!
He was suicidal and wanted to die without having to pull the trigger himself
Religion for ya
@@SheLikesLoons Hardly religion. Jesus doesn't accept suicides.
I’m not usually a big fan of Horror stuff, but UA-camrs like Jorge make me not just a fan, but a whole air conditioner
Ima steal this. LOL.
Gotta say, binge watching this content has made me somewhat of an AC unit myself.
That last one is, I have no words. It shouldn't be said, but don't aim a weapon at anything that you don't want to destroy.
The Mexia Supermarket story really fascinates me. It's sounds straight out of a post-apocalyptic setting. Sad that little footage survived. I would've loved to see the interior in all of it's disgusting glory, in 4K quality.
There's a whole genre of cleaning videos on UA-cam. There's even entire games about cleaning - look at PowerWashing Simulator. There's something very satisfying about seeing a place go from a total mess to sparking clean, and the supermarket would've been the ultimate example of that.
It would be great if someone took the footage we have from the Life After People episode 'The Last Supper' and restored or enhanced it with AI so that we could maybe see what brands of chips were on the shelves. I am the one who contacted Brian Boerner and he said that the tape was already degraded when Life After People used it.
When I heard supermarket I thought you might talk about that supermarket where some employee fell into a gap behind a wall of freezers and died there, only to be found 10 years later when the supermarket closed down and freezers were removed. I was hoping there might have been some security footage.
But this was interesting too, I never knew about the Mexia supermarket. Could you imagine having to clean that? Oof!
I think about this one sometimes when I'm in gas stations.
WHAT!? I need to look that up!
I honestly wouldn’t mind watching a part-two. There’s so much interesting lost media surrounding real-life events. It’s Definitely a topic I think you should re-visit someday.
Honestly, the last story didn’t surprise me because why would you do something so dangerous and stupid like that!?
The Desert Eagle stunt is pure Darwin Award material.
Except that he'd already reproduced at least once, maybe twice. Usually having kids makes people behave just a little bit better, they want to be around to help their offspring survive.
Tough luck, he already reproduced so his DNA is in the gene pool.
Do people just throw around "Darwin Award" without thinking about what it meant originally?
Not eligible, otherwise would be a lock for the award.
Even a smaller caliber like 9mm probably would have went through.
Thats not how it works. To be eligable you had to of not reproduced.
First time hearing about Mexia and I’m both disgusted and intrigued
Im not surprised the Mexia supermarket footage was lost. I work in the dept. of my city that handles records of the city, so for contracts, deeds, etc. Here in Tx there are retention schedules (the time given for a document has to be retained before destroyed) for everything, camera footage, minutes from city council meetings, etc. I’m not sure how long the retention schedule would be in the health dept. so maybe there chances are it already could’ve hit the retention date and got destroyed (usually tapings only are about 2 years) or people working at the time just lost it somewhere (not an ideal situation but hey, it happens). In my town the person working before us didn’t do a good job of record keeping and we’re right now trying to figure out what has been saved and what was thrown out.
The last story is proof of why you always test gun stunts on ballistic dummies multiple times before ever putting yourself in the line of fire
You just need an extra book to do a test shoot.
Or just the first book if the test fails
Ideally, you dont want to be in the line of fire period
Average North Dakotan day ngl. We’re a lil hillbilly here
Or just follow gun safety rules and never point or fire a gun at something you are not willing to destroy.
It's a shame the Mexia Supermarkey footage is probably lost forever. The footage has that abandoned building exploration vibe I like. Plus, out of all the lost media mentioned, this is "tame" given the context of the other entries(just nasty sanitary-wise).
The idea that the Tiger was actually trying to save Roy's life rather than attack him isn't that far fetched--i recently watched a docu about a pig who saved her owner who fell over, unable to move, having a stroke...
yeah, especially if he had raised it since a cub... people forget that big cats can be really easily domesticated and will care about their owner the same as a house cat
Yeah, maybe. As he said, the tiger could have just killed him... You never know when it comes to the mind of an animal
yeah a tiger would kill a human in a second. but also cats like to torture their prey and hate being watched eat
Learn what domestication means before you use it ffs.@@Sinbook
I was wondering if the tiger sensed that something was happening with Roy. Dogs and cats both have been working as trained cancer, epilepsy and diabetic emergency animals. They are able to sense that cancer is present in their owners, and tell when the owner is going into an epileptic seizure or diabetic coma.
The last one really scared me…it’s devastating for one to lose a partner in an extremely dangerous video. Those kids will now grow up knowing what their mother did.
The story about the guy who jumped at the concert in 2010 was one I was working at the time as a student volunteer up in Saratoga. I was up in the spotlight tower when it all happened. None of the students were allowed to have our phones on during any of the concerts. I also worked at the Drake Bell concert up there
I really like to think Manticore really was trying to help him. With the fact that he didn’t finish him off and that they lived peacefully together for the rest of the tiger’s life, I think that could really be the case
I feel like a Pandemic could have spawned out of the Mexia supermarket if it had gone unnoticed any longer.
That or some sort of pest infestation that could've taken years to solve.
More like an epidemic. As bad as it looked, I still doubt one supermarket could have affected the health of people in other countries.
Yes
the book deagle one is the stupidest thing ive ever seen, he basically committed suicide and was acknowledging it, and his wife who was basically pressured into it has to deal with the fact that her husband was an idiot.
I mean she went along with it. She was an idiot too.
UA-cam lost media is the most intriguing type of lost media for me.
Videos that were made to be seen by thousands, if not millions of people online, only to disappear off the face of the earth like that is so interesting to me on a mysterious note.
Not related but EB64 pfp
I read some descriptions and think they sound good, but then I get the message that the video does not exist anymore. It shows that having a local, physical copy is important.
Jeez...imagine how many homeless people they could've fed with all the food from that market before it was abandoned and left to rot.
Been watching this guy since I was a kid. I’m actually very glad the channel matured along with me
Imagine a horror game based on that supermarket
Reading more about the last one, it's really no wonder they gave her such a relatively lenient sentence. She could allegedly be heard refusing to go through with it multiple times, begging him to not make her do it, and he kept demanding she shot him.
Thank you!
you are like 1% of creators that put timestamps to skip their adverts
You gotta realize that’s how they make money for these videos.
Too bad I still got like 10 ads
@@anthonycalderon3039really? no way!
@@anthonycalderon3039Not exactly. They get paid to make the video by a sponsor, because the sponsor expects a certain amount of return on their investment. No one needs to watch the sponsorship segment in order for the youtuber to make money, but they are legally required to include it. Its just that nice youtubers give a timestamp to skip it because the majority of people do not care, and just skip it manually anyway
Steve Irwins last moments swimming next to a sting ray is another lost media....
I'd be fascinated with an entire video going into depth on the Mexia Supermarket
It’s appalling that those two would even THINK to mess with a gun like that in the last story, especially with two kids!?
I’ve never heard of Siegfried & Roy, so for most of that first entry I was dreading the outcome of what happens to the tiger- I remember that circus elephant rampage in Hawaii that went as horribly as it could’ve, for both civilians and the elephant. An absolute nightmare.
I was fully expecting to hear Roy died, the tiger was put down, and for there to be a huge stupid debate on using wild animals in show acts. I actually sighed in relief when that wasn’t the case. I’m glad Roy survived, I’m glad the tiger survived, and I’m glad most ppl seem to agree tigers aren’t mindless killing machines (they just aren’t good costars… bc they’re wild animals).
I’m skeptical abt Roy claiming the tiger knew he was having a stroke, it’s possible, but I think I lean more towards the tiger being spooked. It’s also possible it was just trying to play fight and didn’t realize how much damage it dealt until it was too late.
Mantacore was hand-raised by the two magicians from a very young cub, he was really comfortable with the stage, the acts, and especially his 'parents'. While I agree he may have been a little startled by the change in script, a tiger isn't a prey animal, who gets nervous when things aren't what they expect; they're apex predators, and they adapt to unexpected situations. The fact that Mantacore grabbed Roy's sleeve before anything feels like he was trying to warn his 'dad' that something was wrong, because he did let go when Roy gave him the release command. When Mantacore dragged Roy off the stage, he dropped him and went to sit in his cage for dinner.
That said, there are conflicting stories, and without the video to analyze, we'll never know. Roy claimed he stumbled and fell as the stroke began, and that's what caused Mantacore to jump at him and pull him off stage. A stagehand and electrician working that night said he grabbed Mantacore's tail which caused the tiger to stop long enough for someone to shoot a fire extinguisher at it, which is what actually made the tiger drop him. An animal handler came out in 2019 and told the Hollywood Reporter *he* was the one who grabbed the tiger, and he yelled for someone to grab a fire extingusher, and someone else stuck their fingers in the tiger's mouth to make him drop Roy. The Hollywood Reporter did try to contact other people to corroborate the handler's story, but no one responded.
Siegfried and Roy maintained to their deaths the tiger wasn't trying to hurt him, even though it did, and going back to live in that mansion with all of those other tigers loose makes me lean toward their story. Siegfried agreed with everything his partner claimed, and said he didn't know why that animal handler came out and said those things. The USDA investigated, and even if the two only said the tiger was only reacting to prevent it from being put down, they still kept him close until Mantacore passed away, and kept working with their other tigers. To me, that says they're confident that they weren't in danger living with their family, and what really happened is, to me, less important than knowing everyone was okay in the end.
As a vet, I was screaming my head is at the last one. Left and right on gun laws, you'll get a unanimous outage on the negligence of those idiots.
Agreed. Even the tree-huggiest liberal and wing-nuttiest conservative can agree that guns are not to be fucked around with.
I figured the Owen Hart fall would've been included. it was during a live Pay Per View, but when he actually fell, the broadcast was away at a pretaped interview. Multiple cameras in the building, including two stationary cameras, caught him falling 90 feet to his death in a wrestling ring. WWE has confirmed they have footage of it, but will obviously never release it. in their vault, it's labeled "never to be played, distributed, or destroyed"
Another thing to consider is that back in the late 90s, handheld fan cameras were almost completely prohibited and quite hard to sneak into wrestling show venues.
There are people who say they’ve seen a leaked “fan cam” video of Hart’s fall on P2P sites in the early 2000s. Because of what I mentioned above, I am very very skeptical of these claims. More likely, they saw the video from the New Jack Vs Vic Grimes scaffold match that used to get passed off as Owen.
He talked about it in another video
That’s what this video immediately made me think of. Same kind of deal: there’s footage out there of this person dying, but nobody is going to release it.
the “gravity” of the situation DUDEEE 😭😭😭😭
From top 20 disturbing moments of kids shows to lost media, Jorge had came a long way with his interesting videos. A part of my childhood and a nice nostalgia that scares me
It’s crazy to think he’s been around for like a decade.
The story with the abandoned supermarket reminds me just how quickly nature will take over when humans are nowhere to be found 👀💀
I was lucky enough to see Siegfried and Roy a year or two before the attack. Some of the acts did have dangerous elements like tigers and fire, but it wasn't played for shock appeal whatsoever. It was pure spectacle, everything was big and flashy, there was a giant fire-breathing animatronic dragon, lines of dancers, big animals and props. As a young magician I was a little disappointed by the lack of hands-on tricks and sleight of hand but I loved it for what it was. They were incredibly imaginative magicians that clearly loved what they were doing.
As fascinating as the supermarket story is it’s equally frustrating because that food could have fed so many people, the owners probably wouldn’t have even had to pay anyone to pick it up if they had contacted a food bank. But instead it was left to fester and rot only feeding rats and insects. I imagine the clean-up was not exactly cheap either. Yuck, I can’t imagine being in there, even with a hazmat suit lol
ever been in a grocery store when the power goes out and they start throwing out all the meat?
it's wild how quickly meat starts to rot if you let it sit, let alone in Texas. can not imagine how gross the Mexia situation was
Descriptions of the supermarket made it sound like someone was describing a chernobyl event.
I believe Roy's side, they were always fair to their animals, there's no reason Manticore would have simply "attacked", and they can sense problems.
We've seen household dogs do similar acts in events of stroke, getting their owner to safety or trying to keep them conscious
Also, I feel terrible for the girl in the last one, but, goddamn that was irredeemably stupid. On both of their parts.
I recall it was either Siegfried or Roy who begged for Manticore to not be killed right after Manticore bit Roy.
Even after such a gruesome event, they wanted to make sure the tiger was safe.
The Mexia supermarket shows how wrong zombie media can be. Just grabbing tinned food would be a Biohazard risk, without the undead to worry about!
I live down the street from that mexia store. I kept driving past it wondering if anything was ever going to be done about it. I bet it was beyond nasty. I went into that store once or twice when it was open and it didn't seem super clean then so it must have just festered in the Texas heat.
Wow! Is there anything else you can remember? I helped with research on this story. You might want to look up the article about Mexia on the Lost Media Wiki for more details. The store was said to have served a low income area. Did you know there was a public meeting at a school over there that December about the incident? The smell had apparently persisted after the cleanup.
Wow🤔
Amazing to see you Jorge! Thank you for the video, I hope you're well!
When you said that Roy held a mic up to Manticore, my first thought was that a small shock might have spooked the cat into biting
Yeah that's what I thought too
Thank you Jorge I am really sick today and the content helps. Keep it up!
Feel better soon
I imagine every newspaper, news office etc has a room filled with stuff they are not reporting. Biggest reason would simply be they can not prove the details but they might be able to later, or the information is a snippet and not a story. Every single time a big scandal breaks there are instantly always extra details, previous claims that went ignored etc. As the story has now broken, that solid rumor and interview but zero proof goes from 'we will get sued if we print that with no evidence' to 'we were onto him years ago but just could not prove it!'
I feel like the girl shouldn’t have gone to jail for that she kept telling him she didn’t wanna do it and was basically pressured to do it by her husband
Peer pressure and stupidity are not legitimate excuses
Unfortunately, the law doesn't see it that way, and there was no forceful coercion making her do it.
She had no intention of killing him, which is why she didnt get murder.
Doesn't matter whether she felt pressured into it or not; she still had full control over her actions. She could have easily left the situation by just walking away from it, or calling for help in some way. I don't believe he had _that_ much power over her to where she was somehow scared into submission.
Do I believe that she had intent to kill him? Of course not. But even though she had no motive, she still participated in it, and she did pull the trigger. She still caused his death, however "accidental". So she deserves to be held accountable for her actions.
@@KevinFinkbeiner idk I just feel like she shouldn’t have been given as much time as she was given since she didn’t wanna do it and didn’t think it would kill him to be fair tho anyone with even just cod knowledge will know that book won’t protect u
@@FreznyL only half a year for ending someone's life, regardless of whether you intended to or not, is already extremely lenient. She should be grateful she didn't get multiple years
This type of content has always fascinated me for many many years now. And I'm always so thankful for the people who actually dig deep and find answers for our questions and quench our curiosity. Thank you. W vid frfr.
It's crazy how much lost footage has been recorded throughout history that we may never get to see.
I had found actual pictures of the aftermath of the Holocaust. The Nazis burying the dead. Craziest thing I found
Perez's arrest is one of the best examples of American law seeing a tragedy and pouring salt into the wound. A woman is jailed and blamed after her husband kills himself... You couldn't do something worse than this to a grieving pregnant widow with a child to raise. Really sick that she was put through all that when it was incredibly obvious that she was the victim.
That last bit is a prime example of incompetence. When the man holds the Desert Eagle he has his finger on the trigger which you should only do when you intend to shoot. They had no idea on how to even handle a gun, let alone use it for shooting at anything, even a target.
Back stage they had holding cages for the tigers. After Manticore removed him, the way cats carry kittens, he released him and got in his cage and waited. That wasn't an attack.
The mexia supermarket incident is the perfect example of why surviving an apocalypse would be way harder that the movies and TV series make it seem, you just can't walk to a place like that and grab some cans like nothing happens, those places would be death traps due to the biohazard
I grew up around the Dallas/Fort Worth area and remember my dad telling me about the Mexia Supermarket. I didn't think I would hear about it on this channel, but I'm glad to have heard more about it here
Did your dad mention any details about it that weren't in this video?
@@benmac1089 he didn’t. He just told me about the store and how the rotten meat basically made it a biohazard.
2:06 regular show
Please make an abandoned places lost/found media video.. that super market one was really interesting!
The Mexia Supermarket story caught my attention solely because of Life After People.
Soon as that guy being interviewed popped up, I was like "that set up looks incredibly familiar" and once you said it, I thought "called it. Knew I'd seen that footage somewhere".
I'd be willing to bet that the tv station that covered the story would have the footage filmed at the mexia supermarket somewhere in their archives.
In the article on the Lost Media Wiki it says North Texas University has the archives of a news station which include Mexia stories but the university doesn't accept digitization requests from the public.
@@benmac1089 Could you maybe purchase the analogue footage directly from them and take it to a third party for digitalisation?
Wow! I currently work in a supermarket part time and I have seen some food items go bad. We throw them away in special containers, but that story of the Mexia is insane! Just gives you a view of "Life after Humans" for sure!
I’d watch an entire documentary about the Mexia supermarket story, it’s super interesting.
Using a single encyclopedia to strop a round from a gun made to kill bears and put holes into an engine block. That's Darwin award material right there.
