These are the kinds of friends we all need in our lives ❤
And very intelligent and brave and pure of heart. If only everyone was like this. Nobody's perfect I'm sure they have some minor faults but that's all they have. I'm sure of it.
Why?
They genuinely look like a very good , nice well raised group of guys . RIP blake
It's good to see the group had covered all bases incase of emergency. They all had beacons, they had a good camp set up, they had snowmobiles and phones. This brought a hopeless situation up to dire. Even with all that, they still lost a friend. Heart breaking. RIP Blake.
You usually never see episodes where the survivors are this prepared
it's a very unfortunate tragic story. while they were well prepared, by no means did they cover all bases. they neglected a critical piece of equipment. sat phones were invented in 1998. There was no legitimate excuse for four experienced backcountryskiers to go to a remote location without a viable bailout. they could have called for rescue the moment they dug themselves out of the avalanche. instead, they didn't establish contact until 30 hours later. This is stuff you learn in fundamentals of mountain wilderness travel, which a lot of experienced people never get. Assumptions lead to tragedy, while hopefully hard lessons are learned.
Like all quality groups do. One time when I was in scouts at 14 on a 70 mile trip I called one of our leaders not on the trip that we had just had to drag out another scout over a broken ankle just to mess with him 😂
They didn’t have a sat phone though
@@henricarlson4250 I wouldn't have thought of that. Probably cuz I'm a hermit. Thank you for educating me!
The EMT kid who talked about being sad that blake was alone at night then he retrieved the poles from blakes body the next day.. he is such a sweet, vulnerable soul. Makes me cry.
Most medical professionals are, especially emergency med
Not to mention one of his best friends so even worse for that situation
This group did everything right and they were so prepared, but disaster still found them. Life is so fragile. I'm glad this band of brothers were together, and I hope that those of them who remain are still close. Many blessings to them.
I remember this story years ago. What a nightmare these guys went through. And the love of true friends fighting for their survival with everything they have.
God bless the medical team that fought their way to get there to help❤
I'm always in awe of the medical rescue teams who risk their own lives, let alone just endure horrendously challenging &, to say the least, uncomfortable situations in order to save others, for comparatively little monetary compensation or recognition.
Valiant & honorable individuals brave 💪🙌🌟
The classic helicopter that shows up then flies away 😂
Hahahahahaha yes😂
In every episode
This was such an emotional, heartbreaking and ultimately uplifting rescue Ive ever seen. Cant imagine the 48 hrs of pain and fear after you’ve already lost your best friend. A great group of guys pulled together and did everything they could save Sam. Losing Blake had already broken their hearts and definitely had Angels watching over them. I don’t think they did anythings wrong either. The wrath of nature is unforgiving, no matter how much planning and practicing you do. They did not go in half hazard and were experienced in this kind of skiing. Still so terrifying… RIP Blake I hope your baby made it safe into the world and carried out your legacy through the years ❤️🩹
Chris is a Hero he was The Medic and The Leader, his a Doctor you can really trust
Bloke who played Matt was gorgeous ❤
Man all I got to say is, putting yourself in these situations must be one helluva adrenaline rush! I could NEVER! My common sense just won't let me. At least these guys have beacons. Damn what a tear jerker this one is! 😢
Wow this was an amazing and heartbreaking episode.
You have an amazing friend group. There are people who wouldn't have gone back up there.❤
Great group of friends that worked as a real team! Outstanding. Its so sad that going to have some fun ended so horrific. Rip Blake!❤
Thank you for sharing how fragile life is.
I thought when they left to go back to the snowmobiles, it showed keys on the table and i was like NOOOO THE KEYS lol but yeah holy Christ this is heartbreaking. Rip Blake. So horrible he never met his kid.
If only they had left that envelope unpushed.
These programmes are excellent, so well acted and narrated.
This story brought me to tears, so heartbreaking.
My heart was in my mouth the whole time 😨
Rest well Blake.😢
Btw,superb acting.
Man. Thank God 4 UA-cam🙏
A lovely learning platform
Wow this episode had me sobbing wheh blake died then the part where they got back to basecamp and said how sad they were that blake was alone in the dark. 😢😢😢😢
I've yet to see an episode that hasn't stirred deep inner emotions and a feeling that I'm apart of these incredible life and death truly unimaginable stories !
I hear ya there man
This was an amazing story 😢
I’ll never ski, when I was a kid one neighbor died skiing in Austria in Europe, I think it was similar to this
This is what happened in Dyatlov Pass - an avalanche (although so many people speculate about conspiracy instead of using these situations to teach caution)
Omg this man is incredible 🎉
Such a sad heartbreaking story😢
You know the danger that you face expecially in doing certain things but you are always hopeful for a good outcome, which unfortunately is not always going to happen.
If you go to isolated areas to go skiing, etc. and people can’t reach you. It costs a few bucks to rent a beacon/ satellite phone.
GOD BLESS THESE GUYS ; SO DEVOTED TO EACH OTHER🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😢🌈
Having something with background of EMT knowledge was a good thing profound program
Rip Balyke❤
Bro when they pulled the boot off I felt dizzy bless them all
A VERY touching story. Thank you for sharing
I remember this story years ago. These guys endured a nightmare and the love of your buddies trying to save each others lives with everything they had. So tragic and sad they lost one but saved Sam against all the odds. I’ve been in a similar situation with my femur snapped in half. When I woke up in hospital my foot was just below my knee. The swelling of the muscles pulled the broken bones up side by side. I had a 5 % chance of surviving from this injury as well as most of the bones in my body being broken, blood loss and severe head and organ trauma. They had to cut pieces of my skull off to allow the brain to swell. When I finally pulled through the worst of it they flew me to another hospital, strapped me to a Gurnee, hooked my foot to a machine and slowly over 3 days pulled my foot stretching my leg to full length as I screamed in pain slipping in and out of consciousness before surgically reattaching my femur bone with rods, plate and screws. I got help immediately after my accident and barely survived and this guy Sam had to rot away for days before getting to a hospital. What a fighter. That would if killed a lesser man for sure. He has a great wife to stand by him through this. Many women would of left that problem in the wind. And such a Good group of guys. What a story.
Your ordeal sounds harrowing. How did you get all those injuries? Also, couldn't they put you under to stretch your leg? Yikes
No journey is long with good friends!
The guy said they were making good solid judgments but a couple minutes later said they were taking an unconscious risk by going higher up the mountain.
Rescue guys are amazing beautiful people...
It's too bad the helicopter pilot couldn't lower a basket, thereby saving time. Thk God the helicopter could land. Prayers for all 🙏
I feel so bad for the EMT kid having to go back up there. I actually think he should’ve stayed behind since he was the one with the medical experience. God bless them all.
❤😢❤ R.I.P BLAKE ❤😢❤
This is one of those situations where lack of preparedness would've probably ended two lives, rather than just the one. Chris being a paramedic helped profoundly. I feel very sad for Matt's family and Blake.
Dude really left the guy who was buried to deal with a broken leg. They all should have kept digging and he should have done cpr as soon as they got him out.
Too many cooks spoil the broth
They said "He's not dead till he's WARM and dead." But they couldn't have continued CPR until a rescue helicopter could be summoned and arrived.
If in charge of the scene I'd have opted to take off the necrotic leg, especially once the pain meds and antibiotics were there. I'm not an MD, and thank goodness I wasn't in charge of the scene! I think that his was a very, very close call and he was lucky to have survived. Being septic can be deadly in very few hours even without hypothermia.
22.15 it is TERRI loosing a friend like this.........
I don't understand why people deliberately climb a mountain that has the potential of an avalanche. (that can be very deadly) It would be kind of like buying a Vehicle that has intermittent break failure. You don't know when or where they will fail. Who would drive a vehicle like that?
Nope, climbing a mountain is nothing like buying a car. Poor analogy
@@TheRis81I am sure you know what he's saying. No need to be a moron 🙃
With all the experience they had one would think they would check the snow stability prior to dropping in.. maybe I missed the part when they did that?
Just rewatched it, they never mentioned anything about that. Which leads me to believe these guys are a bunch of weekend warrior jackwagons.. 🤷♂️
There's people who can't comprehend how others hike in the woods when a rabid animal or a falling rock could do them in at any moment. Much too dangerous. They prefer to watch movies and read books. Then there's the hikers who look at the bookworms and can't comprehend how their lives are so sedentary and, therefore, unhealthy. They think life is much better being fit and living life in the real world. Who's wrong. Maybe both, maybe neither. You get to decide how much fun you want to have and how much danger you are willing to exchange for that lifestyle. It's ok if you don't understand as long as you respect other people's decisions.
I understand taking calculated risks; given the fact that this area is “ notoriously known “ for avalanches how does one calculate the risk? What metric did they use to calculate the risk/ reward of skiing in this area? Just curious.
"There was 2 seconds left and then just a soft landing" - that's what our economy needs
Crazy. To go through the emotions of avalanche to your friend dying to your other friend needing serious help and going to die. Horrific. How do you even process that
Unlike the people in most episodes of this show, these guys were actually prepared, and did everything right. I’ve watched enough of these by now to know that when a member of a group isn’t part of the narration, and when other members start talking about that persen in the past tense, it means they’re dead. So I knew just a few minutes into this episode that Blake didn’t survive. Knowing that made me tear up when he announced that he was going to be a dad. His poor wife, and the child who never knew their father. Thank God for the friends who did all the right things so Sam could go home to his wife and children.
They didn't quite do everything right. One of the guys said in the video that they were taking a risk by going higher on the mountain. Also, someone commented earlier that they should have had avalanche backpacks that inflate in an avalanche.
Best friends
if you enjoy these you HAVE to check out the film "Touching the void" produced by the same team in the same style. Saw it at the cinema when it was released - amazing.
RIP BLAKE!!!!
I really hope that the actual CPR was done better than in this film depiction.
Experiencin an Avalanche is unnervin, even from a viewer POV
I've never had any criticism for this show before but those pumps on the chest are entirely inadequate.
Does anyone know how Blake’s wife and baby are doing?
Im pretty sure Blake’s “baby” is a grown adult now
wow, thank you for this valuable response...@@paulkhachukian725
@@paulkhachukian725 yes, this happened in 2004
I don’t understand why they don’t drop off food, water and medical supplies off in these circumstances when they can’t land. Anybody enlighten me?
They usually do. I was wondering why they didn't this time as well. Maybe the storm was so bad they couldn't even lower anything down or maybe whoever reached out to them told the rescuers they had supplies, which they did. They never mentioned being short food or water. They definitely needed antibiotics but that's something that always requires a prescription. It seems silly to worry about prescriptions at that point but doctors can never be too careful. If they provide a prescription to someone without seeing them and the person dies, even if it has nothing to do with the antibiotics, they risk being sued and/or losing their license.They did find a team willing to make their way to the Basecamp during the storm to help and provide the best medical attention they could out there. I thought that was pretty awesome.
I'm guessing plan A was to use the chopper while plan B was already in motion hiking in. An EMT was already there, so that was good. Using antibiotics and pain meds without knowledge could easily result in death. They may very well have had food and water, so no extra supplies were needed.
Rip Blake
If they think they were so good, then they should not make a comparison to others, because they should know that it can happen to the best and most capable people
There are two types of people in these episodes. 1. Very well prepared and smart people who get incredibly unlucky. 2. Unprepared idiots who get what they ask for…
@@MissbAnAnA5 They were not incredibly unlucky. One of the guys said in the interview that they were taking a risk by going higher up the mountain.
Alcohol & dangerous circumstances don’t mix
I'm surprised he didn't get gain green lucky man
Extremely stressful situation. They did everything right. But when things went wrong in similar critical incidents these things may have helped, I’m no expert, but..
After avalanche speed to get blake breathing rREAL determination was needed FAST. Concentrate on Blake because he wasn’t breathing. Should they have tourniquets Sams leg? To stop bleeding or would he have lost leg because no circulation. Think ahead-take ski poles. Then clean Sam’s leg at tent. Could have carried skis up to get poles so didn’t have to walk down next day. Could have got poles at night by following footsteps up at night to save time in the morning. Helicopter should have dropped pain killers, dressings and antibiotics for EMT to give-anyone can give Panadol & antibiotics-but EMT can surely give injections? What about proper cleaning and dressing of wounded leg, splinting properly?
I think you have to ask the’what ifs’ Have plan B in case A doesn’t work.
Sadly:
1-couldn’t get Blake breathing
2-couldn’t clean, splint and dress Sam’s leg or give him pain relief
3-couldn’t get help to him
4-Couldn’t get him to help.
However They certainly did try their very best to revive Blake and obviously it wasn’t possible.
They did their very best for Sam and it was a success. I am sorry about what happened to really great guys. I can’t imagine what it was like getting down after the shock of Blake dying. We don’t know why things happen, it’s a mystery of life that we all deal with. God bless you all.
I know definitely, that if I ever decide to go on another long adventure in the woods or actually anywhere that mother nature is in charge I will have a satellite phone for sure
Well would have been nice to know if they all remained friends after 2 still live in the same state at least I would imagine they remain friends
I was about to say, where's the beacon and probe use?! I still have a beacon from back then I think
Not one of these 5 guys having a satellite phone is almost criminal
I feel bad for Blake
I feel sorry for the guy who lost his life........
What happened to Blake's body afterwards? 🤔🤔 Is his body still lying in the snow? 🤔🤔
Surely his body was recovered. The friends knew exactly where he was.
What I wanna know is what exactly happened to Sams leg for it to be fractured like that
Probably got smashed into a tree or rock at high speed. As the avalanche, blew him and the other guy over a precipice.
I just wanna be there ilike slot the ace the mountains
crazy how chris decided to become a doctor
Why not keep snow on the wound instead of under a warm blanket, to keep it from rotting faster.
watching sam do that to his leg as a kid was a mistake lol. i still have the memory of it to this day.
Guy said he would be a dad and died 😢 destiny
Have they decided to ski down a mountain in the wilderness??? How is that exciting or fun? The apres ski is rough…an avalanche!
Apres ski in a nice ski lodge, at least you could have a nice cup of cocoa warming up by a fireplace. A ski lodge would’ve had groomed & well maintained ski slopes.
I’m surprised the helicopter isn’t aloud to drop a med pack maybe to give them antibiotics and a turn a kit
😢
I guess they were not on their A game lol😂😂 We know the risk for an avalanche but to hell with that we are stoked lol 🤣🤣 Did you get what you wanted?
This is the first I shouldn't be alive where they deserve to live through this ordeal
Your heart, is as cold as that avalanche snow.
@@melindaharrington7588 Please try reading the original comment again.
AVALANCHE!!!!!!!!
Lot's of yee-haw!
They would have been fine had they just been riding snowboards.
Why is that? If an avalanche hits you like a mack truck, I don’t see how it would make a difference whats under your feet, most likely knock you right off of either. Not a pro just curious…
Shoaib ap Sojao Jan me do Video dhekti hu Fir Sojaugi mera Tabyat tik Nahi or Ap Aram karo ok I love you so much mery Jaan Hamesha 🙏😭💵
They said they weren’t in offices, so why did they not carry flares?
Can't use a flare, if you are buried under tonnes of snow.
Would hv been nice to see Blakes body retreived and handed to his family
in Hindi dubbed
Stay away fr Montana
Sam is a lie lol he didn't twist his leg 180 degrees.
Please upload in urdu language too
Blake should have been at home with his pregnant wife on New Years in the first place...

Please add or upload in urdu language too
Was it worth it?
🎉
Going back for ski poles also proves how inexperienced these guy are.
Also sounds they like they have zero knowledge on how to start a 2 stroke motor.. most likely any motor tho.
The reenactment in this episode was poor. Didn't convey any urgency when trying to dig out and then revive their friend.
It's bothersome people do these things and it's selfish because subconsciously they are like "eh, I'll be saved if we mess up"
They need to start leaving people out there so the weekend warriors quit putting good peoples lif=ves in jeopardy to save them cause they are careless.
also, coulda washed home boys wounds out with water.. very easily.
/rant
So many stupid mistakes, but that These perfect persons that are stupid
people thet do that shit set themselves up for.......but whatever blows you're hair back right?
Why didn’t they get antibiotics and medical gear before going back up there?
