The Twilight Zone incident hits even harder when you see the clip of crew going to try and rescue the trio. One man bends under the downed chopper to see if they're still conscious, then visibly reels back in what looks like terror, before wading back away from the crash. Truly heartbreaking
@@mikotoh Unfortunately, the only video I could find that actually had the footage was deleted for copyright strike, a few years back. All I can find nowadays is basically the same footage shown in this vid, but seeing the scene I described previously just stuck with me too well not to share it, in my own way.
@@anon0092 Ah, the days when you could choose for yourself if you wanted to watch something without someone else deciding whether or not you would be offended.
The one with Donald Herbert hit me the hardest. Seeing that man's face when he realized he was gone for 10 years was heartbreaking. And just when it seemed like there might be a happy ending, he falls unconscious again and dies. Rest in peace, Donald Herbert. At least he's not suffering anymore.
Same for me. I had to pause the video for a little bit because I started crying. Though, on a positive note, it's a miracle he was able to wake up and beautiful that he was able to at least spend some time with his loved ones again when his situation beforehand looked somewhat hopeless. Rest in peace, Donald.
Why aren’t we talking about Donald’s story more? When I heard “10 years” my guts tightened up so hard. I’m 25 and imagining losing 10 years of my life and waking up at 35 is unfathomable. All of his life plans and goals over those 10 years, just gone in the blink of an eye; think about all of the families members who passed away while he was gone and he didn’t get to say goodbye to. It’s beyond heartbreaking. And then you have to think about the family member who left him alone that single night. The amount of guilt they must’ve felt is unimaginable. That whole story is so tragic and gut wrenching.
I had a friend be in a coma for a few months after getting hit by a car they had to cut his skull open and let his brain swell and he had to relearn how to walk again etc completely back to normal except he has no filter and kinda says exactly what he thinks he’s not mentally incapacitated to the point of Down syndrome but I’d say he’s mentally immature and has really bad impulse control so we kinda look after him together as friends and is very fragile compared to others but before the accident and being in England he was the best basketball player I’d seen personally and it’s wild that after the accident he was probably even better I appreciate him because he couldn’t be here obviously his story and It’s interesting asking him questions because I like learning about the brain
Oh my gosh, I am so RELIEVED that Tetsushi lived. I thought for certain he was going to drown. I can't believe none of them realized something was wrong. Even if he hadn't been paralyzed, he seemed to be at the very least unconcious. I was gritting my teeth watching them bob his head up and down in the mud. Painful to watch. Happy he's doing okay.
there's a lot of culture around all countries haven their own conscious feeling that nothing is going to happened everything is find, and people never take these tragic things serious, I'm not saying Japanese people are stupid, or any other country for that matter, I love Japan.
That one was so tragic. It hurt so much knowing how he made it, after all those years... he made it... only to die soon after because a family member who was so comfortable with thinking he'd be fine... left.
I couldnt imagine the pain he felt in the afterlife knowing that after 9 years of fighting, he got a second chance and then just to die because his own family member was impatient
I'm glad for Tetsushi, he's made quite a stunning recovery, and him having the mental strength to come back to the show, shows what kind of a spirit the guy has. It sucks that this happened but I was happy to learn it at least had a good ending.
There was a Japanese man who was psychologically tortured for like a year for a show and I just knew from that case that Tetsushi would act the same way he did, by smiling and saying it wasn't the show's fault.
@@sarusocool he didnt know his neck was gonna break. he didnt expect that. it was a stupid move of him yet a freak accident cause if his head was just a little more upwards tilted his neck probably wouldnt have snapped
22:50 after he says "can you get a shot of this gun" and the camera pans over.. its like you can see what Dryden is thinking in his eyes. He looks around, takes in the situation, probably realizes hes already on camera with a bunch of witnesses, and then you can literally SEE his face change as he makes the decision to take aim and fire. That is an absolutely haunting few seconds.
Dude tried to engage with the system, warned people what would happen, and they didn't have the good sense to back off even when a gun is in their face. We didn't lose anyone important that day.
@@megamandrn001 "we didnt lose anyone important that day". that man probably had a family and a wife and kids, nobody should have died no matter what, dryden is a disgusting human
I find it so upsetting that Morrow and the children got no justice following their deaths. It was a dangerous idea from the start and the director should be held accountable.
I'm terrified of paralysis--Sleep paralysis is one of the most frightening things I've ever experienced. But being completely paralyzed, stuck face-down in mud and suffocating, unable to move or communicate to people, while they taunt you and pour more mud on you... that stuck with me. This is gonna stick with me for a long time.
@Misschien Geld That b1tch still torments me. I've tried it all: meditation, cbd/thc oil, hiking and getting lots of fresh air outdoors, even extra strength sleep-aids but nothing works.
Idk if this helps, but the choking/drowning-like feeling you have on a sleep paralysis is due to your body's rhythm while sleeping. So if you ever have one, don't worry, you're not actually running out of air, and if it's too intense, you probably got your sheet of something on your face 😅 I've been there lol
@@loucarstairs4493 My doctor actually explained it perfectly. When I'm in sleep paralasys my body wants to have a panic attack and breath heavily. But Bc i'm still sleeping it feels like I'm 'running out of air' but i'm actually breathing normally. When I calm down and focus on my breathing it actually wakes me up.
That was also my initial thought. But after the shock, I guess I’d be very happy that my family decided to keep me (and their hopes) alive for 10 years 🥹 ❤ his story touched me the most
@@jasonvargas7564 right?? I feel like that’s exactly what I would say….I bet the family member who couldn’t stay awake to watch him feels absolutely terrible bc I can’t even lie I thought wow he had a second chance then he lost it….😔
For the Twilight Zone segment. The combination of a night scene, child actors, live explosions, and a helicopter overhead. In my eyes, that's just asking for something bad to happen.
I kept hoping it wouldn't end in death. God, it's awful no one was held liable. That was a death trap waiting to happen. Two children and a man's life, ended over a freaking movie
don't forget - fatigue. Everyone was uber tired and probably slow to comprehend the level of danger. If I remember correctly, the safety director there had also left. That probably wouldn't of passed back then.
@@JW-zr4ju they didn't know. It was the kind of thing a host would do. That's the kind of incident that led to tv shows having health and safety monitors now which people are all mad about too
That firefighter story hit me hard. That was my dads job, and even though he worked 35 years as a firefighter and survived it, I am still emotionally crippled from having grown up with that daily fear of something bad happening. The fear that the worst might happen was there during every minute of my upbringing. This poor fella went through everything I feared for my own dad. Such a tragic and horrific story. Bless that hero
The producer of the Twilight Zone not only had dangerous props, not only had child actors in a dangerous situation, which was illegal, not only indirectly caused the death of 3 individuals, but managed to escape legal punishment and got away with the cash from the film... This guy must have hired Saul Goodman.
When you said “John Landis”, my stomach sank. I had forgotten the incident was during the Twilight Zone project and it took his name for it to click. He and his son getting away with everything they’ve done is insane. Rest in peace to Vic and those poor babies.
That guy gets to safety with his kid while other people suffer because of his consequences. He put together this dangerous project initially, without a single thought of the potential blatant danger it posed to others. What absolute garbage.
@@zopheir5019 Someone mentioned how he lied to the parents of the children. He downplayed the stunts that we’re going to happen, and ignored everybody’s safety concerns. He didn’t get charged with a crime, but those parents still have no children to put to bed. I hope he rots in Hell.
The Tetsushi bit hit me like a truck. At first I thought he died instantly, but even though he didn't die the fact everyone was playing around and didn't realise the gravity of the situation made me so distressed. Like I don't blame the people around to think he was joking considering the setting they were in, but damn they took too long to realise he wasn't playing around.
I don’t know….I kind of blame the people for potentially causing more injuries to the victim. He was on the ground for a good 10 seconds, I think maybe even longer. If I were in that situation, even in a stupid game show like this one, I would notice something was wrong if someone wasn’t getting up after a couple of seconds. I don’t know, the whole situation was very disturbing to watch. It was like seeing children playing with a doll; no care in the world
@@squirtdraws9260 Oh they sure are to blame for causing more harm to him, but at the same time I don't really want to point fingers too harshly because it wasn't like they did that on purpose/it was a premeditated thing. Also we are all looking at this situation from an outsiders perspective and we have the whole picture of what's happening, so we want to believe we would notice something wrong right away. But it's hard to tell how it would go if you or me were there like, while the whole thing was happening. Tl:dr: the folks who messed with him should be held responsible for their reckless behavior, but it's not a black and white situation.
In any situation, I would hope most people would immediately check to see if the person is ok. Like he immediately went limp and was face down, how do you think the person is ok? Especially how he fell and the movement of the neck.
For REAL. I was literally in pain watching them not check on him for THAT LONG like r u dumb why would he just stay there for minutes FACE IN MUD NOT BREATHING??? It was too hard to watch I couldn’t
Yeah, I have a very high tolerance to this kind of stuff, but my god, it made me so nauseous I had to pause the video. That’s the worst video I’ve ever seen.
The Twilight Zone incident is so horrific. Not just because of the 3 dead actors, but because none was found liable for the deaths and that John Landis just went on to have a successful career afterwards, living he's life to the fullest. While 2 kids never got to live and experience theirs.
If it was a genuinely unavoidable situation that’d be one thing…but he knowingly violated child labor laws, went against the wishes of the experienced helicopter pilot (who said it was too low and too dangerous) and having the pyrotechnics guys just doing Willy nilly explosions! With a low flying helo it should be 1000% planned! He knew he was doing something risky! That’s called manslaughter! Negligence and reckless endangerment as well.
Sort of a silver lining to the second story- Yanagida has regained mobility in his upper body and one arm. And, according to his xwhos article, he’s still active as of 2022. Definitely not an ideal situation by any means, but it really brings me joy seeing that he seems to have adapted to his situation. Crazy how he could have been dead in only a few seconds
Right before they filmed that scene in The Twilight Zone movie, the director told the parent’s of the children it would be like “a Disney ride”, being fully aware that the man in charge of the special effects told him it wasn’t safe. It’s still just such terrible neglect to the safety of his actors that he never seemed to be punished for
Whatever happened to the alternate plan they were supposed to have if he didnt comply with the teardown in order to prevent a confrontation? i mustve missed that part in the video?
The third story was so sad. To become lucid after 10 years, it must've been so hard to feel that reality first-hand. I really thought it was gonna be a good ending...but man, nick really pulled a switcheroo 😭 that is really some unfortunate circumstances for that brave man to go through. Don't take your family for granted ppl, we don't know how good we have it, till it's gone. I can't imagine the stressful weight on the family member's chest who left early. Rest in peace brave soul 💜🖤💜
@typo pit Doesn't matter, what the director did was illegal from the jump, and had multiple concerns brought to him that he willingly ignored, it's called ignorance
oh man…that firefighter story is devastating. rest in peace to that poor man. i hope his family were able to get the support needed to cope with such a tremendous loss.
Especially since a lot of these aren’t well known, it’s so important that videos like these exist to raise awareness and remembrance of the people involved. Thank you Nick Crowley.
In a macabre way, the Twilight Zone Incident was kind of like a real life Twilight Zone: A director's hubris for the perfect scene took 3 innocent lives, and the movie wasn't even liked when it came out. So now he's known as not only the director of "the bad Twilight Zone" but also as the cause of 3 deaths.
On the case of Tetsushi Yanagida; keep in mind that whenever you suspect a spinal cord injury you're NOT supposed to in ANY WAY move them unless absolutely neseccary and then only do it in a controlled manner (stabilised head, body preferably put on a board and not simply carried in your arms). While they were joking with him, they were constantly moving his head and neck around- most likely causing the injury to become WORSE, not to mention that they pick him up in a "swan dive" position. Makes me wonder how bad the injury would have been and how differently it would have healed if they realised instantly that he might've gotten severly hurt?
@Hanna G….I hear you, but what other choice would they have had? There wouldn’t have been no time to properly stabilize him, before lifting him up because he was face down drowning.
Even if they'd realized what happened right away, if they'd have waited until they got a backboard out there and gotten him properly strapped on (which still would have included moving him a lot since he was fact down in the mud), he absolutely would have suffocated. A spinal injury, even with permanent paralysis, is preferable to smothering to death in the mud waiting for "proper protocol". What the hell. Them pulling him out was the only way he lived at all. And the reason he was hanging there was because unlike most people, he'd just lost all use of his body below the neck. Kind of a catch 22.
@@mommy2libras I think the sentiment is less 'they should have left him in the mud!' and more so 'shaking him around by the neck as violently as possible, then dropping him back in again probably didn't help his situation'
@@taydestiny38 turn him over by one person holding head and the others carefully rolling his body over (with head steadily following motions). One person should kneel on both knees and while victim is being turned over, they position themselves so that his head rests on both legs ("ontop of between the thighs"). Because of how our thighs are shaped his neck and head would be resting in a stable position until emergency service would arrive.
I hope they understand that they're human and that theres no way they could have known that those few hours would make this big of a difference. Especially with them being very tired and just wanting a short rest.
in the full video he goes on to say (equally calmly) "I'm now hopefully going to go get some medical attention." terrible situation but I kind of can't help but laugh at how casually he says that
@@taskmagician4289 Another UA-camr answered these same bit that appeared in her own comment sections, and one of the scammers had the gall to try to flirt with her after she revealed that she was the UA-camr they were impersonating. So yeah, they're pretty much shameless.
The video of Dryden is wild. You can literally see him processing the decision to shoot the gun. He genuinely looked like someone who let things get out of hand due to all the attention, making eye contact with all the cameras and looking almost scared, before a moment of clear decision making. That's such a wild sequence.
He should have just gone through the proper process. The guy had a below average IQ and owned 10 handguns and 15 riffles illegally and had homemade explosives. He did plenty wrong even before he shot somebody. Dryden and Collins were friends/friendly before the whole thing. The guy was crazy and became even more crazy and paranoid in prison. Collins brother said: People who knew Dryden, and he was quite well-known, always knew he would do something like this.
One of the eeriest things about "The Twilight Zone" incident, is the footage of a crew member running to help the 3 victims. You can see the moment he reacts and quickly backs away when he realizes how horrific the injuries are.
The most British reporter in the world ladles and jellyspoons. "and clearly, I have been shot here in the arm. This has been Billy Bigbollocks for the BBC news, now back to you in the studio."
Nick's right to find Tetsushi's story particularly haunting. Beyond the simple shock of what happened to him and the results, there's the very real possibility that he might have been less injured, or even come away without permanent damage, if the situation had been recognized earlier -- If there had been even a single person looking after proper safety monitoring. It's this kind of TV stunts-gone-wrong story that we see repeated often, so it feels heartbreakingly preventable.
@holyroman6541 They absolutely could have and probably did further injur the spinal cord. Paralysis doesn't come from the bones breaking, it comes from damage to the spinal cord. There's various levels in which this can occur, for example, incomplete spinal cord injury.
When the guy in a coma asked how long he’d been gone?! That story is heartbreaking. 😭💔 Can you imagine how much guilt the person who left him alone must feel on the reg?
@its really complicated being nice to straight men same! I always do even though UA-cam doesn’t do anything. At this point I’m starting to wonder if they’re not the ones making them 😣
Jon Landis is 100% responsible for those actors being killed. Despicable how he got away with it completely and what high-priced lawyers can do for you. The guy is technically not a murderer but if it wasn't for him those 3 would have probably lived good wholesome lives.
he may have been cleared of his crimes, but he still has to deal with people cursing his name and threatening his comfy life for what he caused and refused to take responsibility for, I know if I ever meet him in person he's getting spit in the eye and fist in his throat
@@michael88h Of course it's true, what the hell did you read?? If its a joke its not funny. 3 people, including 2 small children are dead. And I would call John Landis a murderer, he's the one who caused their deaths by breaking the law.
Alright man the darkest television moments series is straight fire the editing, static and news speech background noise in the intro is pretty captivating, reminds me of a lot of west coast rap from the 90s intros. Sounds good! Randomly I found this after non stop watching Mr Ballen for about a month on end. Pretty good stuff so far man. I’ll check out the other stuff you have. Keep it comin
@@superrazor7617 Reminds me of Freddy! A friend told her friend to keep an eye on her if she fell asleep, but the friend also fell asleep so Freddy was like 'I won the lottery!'
What made the Twilight episode more agonizing was that the parents of the 2 young non unionized children were not told exactly what was to happen….they also sadly witnessed their children’s death.
For the Twilight Zone movie one, I heard somewhere that the helicopter pilot was actually a veteran who had been flying that model for years and had said before-hand that the whole stunt was a terrible, dangerous idea and, I think, almost didn't go through with participating. If I remember correctly, they basically brushed him off and said "Nah, it'll be fiiiine." So much of that one scene actually was illegal. Horrifically preventable.
Once Albert had the cameras on him he took it as his bluff being called. You can see it in his eyes what he's thinking. "My move? Well here you go then"
Just a small correction to the Renard Spivey story. Although a lot of news outlets didn't report it because it made for a more clickbaity article, the wife he killed was not the one he was "happily married to for 27 years". The wife he killed, Patricia Spivey, he had only been married to since 2015 (which was towards the end of the run of the show). He had three wives, I believe the one he was married to for 27 years at the time was his second wife and he divorced her at some point after that episode which aired no later than 2008.
FUN FACT: The gun Albert Dryden used to kill Collinson was in his possession since he was 11 years old. He bought it from a schoolfriend, who had previously stolen it from their father, a WW1 veteran. Since cartridges for that gun are out of print, Albert created custom made ones from 410 bore shotgun shells, which he subsequently dubbed “manstoppers”.
It's so refreshing to put on these videos and to not have to go through a wordy introduction and ridiculous transitions. We read the title and know what to expect, and you respect your audience in this way. It always makes me look forward to your videos.
Man that was heartbreaking - the man who suddenly woke after such a long time. He seemed so tormented and in agony. That broke my heart, the look on his face
The worst part about the man jumping in the mud was that he was CONVINCED he wasn’t even supposed to be doing this stunt if he had said no, his life would’ve been entirely different. It’s crazy. What a simple yes can do to someone’s whole life.
Yes but he also purposely dove head first for comedic effect and the average adult knows that’s a terrible idea in shallow water. Peer pressure is only partially a culprit here.
I have no idea why he did a full Olympics dive when he knew from watching the entire thing that the mud was only 5 inches of water. If you're losing your balance like that, you just brace with your arms under you, but not fully outstretched and rigid, you want to become a spring, not a cinder block.
The thing that pisses me off about the Twilight Zone helicopter crash is that Landis specifically broke the law, deceived the parents about the danger (who were speaking to them through a translator), and when multiple people told Landis about their concerns he would brush them off because he just had to film it exactly how he wanted to and didn’t care about the obvious preventable danger it posed to everyone else. The dude went to these people’s funerals, put on a big “oh woah is me” act, despite family members explicitly telling him not to come, then dragging the court case out and getting away with it even though he was clearly guilty. How he could have any career after all that is just truly disgusting.
You mean like whats his name that shot that girl most recently because "he didn't know the gun was loaded"? First rule of guns - treat every gun as a loaded gun. That guy is plain stupid and stupid can't be fixed. At the very least, manslaughter 15 years.
John Landis should’ve been locked up after that incident. That was manslaughter no doubt about it. His idea, his casting, his direction of the scene. It absolutely infuriates me that not only did he get away but also was able to enrich himself in the process.
@@MrThedonhead Yes, of course he should be. His actions directly led to the deaths of three people. How fucked up do you have to be to think making an MJ video absolves him of manslaughter?
You know what freaks me out the most with the Albert Dryden footage? Before he aimed, his whole body language was screaming "cornered wolf". Today is the first time I've ever seen this footage, yet I could immediately tell when he was going to kill them. And the fact is, they could too. But they were so high on power that they treated this man holding a gun like he was a petulant child, which definitely erased any hesitation he had. That is insanity.
I was at school when this came out on the tv. I couldn't believe it! I'm actually on Albert's side on this one, though. He (the jobsworth) was warned that if it escalated, to back off and let the situation calm down. He made the decision to openly antagonise a man who was known to own firearms, and escalate the situation. He was answered with a .455 to the chest.
@@ronstreet6706 not to mention that, leaglly albert had every right to shoot, they went onto his property with no warent and no permission, and then when they threatened to tear his fence down, that would’ve been distruction on PRIVATE property, meaning him going to jail was completely unjustified and wrong
I was bout 12 when this happened, I remember the local news reporting on it and even at such a young age I sided with Dryden, I couldn't understand why he was being given such a hard time for building on his own land in such a remote area. I'm in my 40's now and my opinion hasn't changed.
Yeah, not to defend him or anything, but at that point, you are poking at the snake's head. Like even if they were in the right, none of that matters when the guy has a literally gun pointing at you, but like you said, the power trip blinded them.
The Vic Morrow story is so much deeper and darker than you touched on here. He actually had a fear of working with helicopters, after having a "very serious premonition" that he would be killed in a helicopter crash years prior to this film. Also, the SFX lead guy actually told the director that he was using too much blasting agent for the scene, and that was before he found even more of what're called "channel charges" hidden in different areas prior to filming. Think of them as conical mortars... Another failure was in the helicopter pilots safety procedures (or failure to follow said procedures). Once again, the director demanded he fly as close as he did so that the helicopter could be framed against the backdrop of the burning village, as they'd waited all day to film this single scene and only had one shot since he'd planned on essentially decimating the entire on-site set to film this one scene. The children were also paid off the books to avoid scrutiny from labor laws for having the children in a hazardous environment and working as late as they were. (Not so) Fun Fact: Stephen Spielberg and John Landis were two very close friends prior to this, and Spielberg actually co-produced the movie, but he completely broke off their friendship and wanted nothing to do with Landis for decades afterwards. I don't believe they've ever reconciled. The reason I know so much about this is because Vic Morrow was one of my Dad's favorite actors, and my Dad was a huge movie buff, so he'd done research of his own in his youth, and once he'd told me about it, I was a tech kid, so I dove in too. If you want an extremely comprehensive review of the accident, including interviews with crew members that were actually AT the scene, check out the "Cursed Movies" series on Amazon Prime.
it's John Landis, not Michael. but besides that, you mentioned some really cool info on this situation. it's insane Landis has never had any repercussions.
17:25 You can find the entire footage of the incident on youtube. You'd think one of the giant fireballs would hide the crash, but the copter falls onto the actors mere seconds after the blast and catches you off guard. Can't imagine how bad it was for the filming crew on-set
As someone who is dealing with some fairly serious health issues relating to my spine I found the footage of the tv journalist who fell in the mud DEEPLY, deeply disturbing. How tragic. I am at a loss for words.
About The Tetsushi Yanagida. I heard of this incident maybe 10 months prior, and I thought he's died from that moment. Now it's still sad but knowing he's alive and trying his best to live his life and even reconnected to the show is one of the best things to know. I hope the participant who asked him to join doesn't blame herself too much for what's happened and I hope he forgave her for the accident.
@askseren ッ exactly i felt so suffocating watching that i cant imagine the ptsd he must has its just so horrifying even if they were oblivious it still makes me so uncomfortable that they wouldn’t help him up regardless because even if he wasn’t paralyzed either way he still could have drowned and they should have at least acknowledged that it’s so crazy
@askseren ッ agreed. It was not the contestants fault but the people who handled him should’ve known after the first few prods that something was wrong. Even if he was joking, I’d freak the fuck out as soon as I saw he wasn’t moving.
@askseren ッ I don't blame those guys either, it was a goofy mud fight, that's how it's played, should they have noticed something was up and stopped sooner? Yes. Is it absolutely infuriating and gross to watch with foresight? Yes. But at the end of the day paralysis is the last thing on your mind for an event like this. It only comes across as malevolent because we know he was paralyzed.
The thing you missed about John Landis/Twilight zone movie is that using children at night around pyrotechnics wasn't "technically" illegal, it was very fucking illegal and everyone knew that but John Landis at that time was one of the biggest names of hollywood and you didn't say no and keep your career not to mention those children were not legally employed, Landis consciously worked around child labor laws and employment laws to keep things under wraps so the producers didn't shit can him. The tragedy is that it couldve been a relativley safe scene if not for Landis ego and thoughtlessness, the pilot was a veteran helo pilot that warned landis that what he was asking was insane even for someone as experienced as him, production crew did try to undermine him but sadly failed and to this day John Landis has not been held responsible for the murder of two children.
one thing i've never understood is how landis was let go basically scot free but especially how the twilight zone incident didn't completely obliterate his reputation.
I remember watching some documentary on what happened on the Twilight Movie set. Watching the helicopter fall and the blades spin made my heart drop into my stomach. Absolutely gutwrenching to see, especially knowing those kids should not have been there and all the corners that were cut that led to the tragedy. The fact there was little more than a slap on the wrist as punishment for the people responsible is such a miscarriage of justice.
For a little more context regarding The Twilight Zone movie, I listened to a podcast that went over that whole tragedy. Apparently, the helicopter pilot was a Vietnam veteran, and had warned Landis that there were too many explosions, and that they were too close to the helicopter, which will cause it to malfunction and crash. Landis then proceeds to tell the crew to add MORE pyrotechnics for an even bigger explosion, without informing the pilot. He is an absolute scumbag, and I am amazed that he never seen a day in jail for that atrocity.
I too am from the Buffalo NY area and was working at the nursing home that Donald Herbert resided at. It was an absolute shock for the employees when he started talking. There was also talk of it being potentially short lived since it is all reality, uncharted and outside of typical recovery. I am sure the value of that time he gained was absolutely invaluable to his family and friends.
It takes a special person to be a fire fighter and a nurse. My adopted dad was a fire chief for 40 years, my sister brother in law niece and newphews still do it. I tried but my ptsd made shit worse. That's terrible he passed that way.
@@azurabbit12 Sometimes it's illegal to do that in nursing homes. I work in one and even if patients are at risk of falling, it's considered a restraint to do that and it's sometimes illegal to restrain patients. Although I will say, they could have placed a pillow underneath the mattress on either side and it may have helped, that's what we do if we have patients that are at risk of falling out of bed.
@@thefknscarecrow this whole topic is clearly beyond your understanding. But just to simplify it for you, because he killed a person and shot two. But you clearly cannot link this to the original comment.
The story of Donald Herbert is so heartbreaking. When he woke up and was just asking for someone to tell him how long he'd been gone, and then him simply falling out of bed being the reason he finally passed away.
Dude caused the death of 3 people, wasnt found guilty, had a party for the jurors, continued with his career for a short time and still released the film that deleted Vic and 2 innocent kids. Wow. I dont know how that guy is able to sleep at night
John Landis was even warned that it was dangerous, and he went ahead anyway and urged the helicopter even closer to the actors. The whole story of his actions both leading up to and after the accident are despicable really.
@@NessieNice Went to check, and the pilot was had sered in Vietnam and the camera crew on board the copter told the pilot to get out of there but Landis overruled them and told the pilot to get lower. I can't find anything about the pilot freezing up however, just the testimony to the investigators about Landis overruling the camera crew who wante the pilot to get out of there
I recently watched some documentary about how some producers break thy rules to get the shot they want. One ended with someone being hit by a train. Where they weren't supposed to be filming.
The Twilight Zone accident is so much worse than you alluded to. Vic Morrow, and the child actor he was holding was decapitated by the helicopters whirling blades, the other child was crushed under the skids of the aircraft. This footage was showed countless times at the trial, and in part on news broadcasts. The only reason it still exists is that someone ripped a copy from the work print, and sold it to a Faces of Death knock off, Death Scenes. That’s why it has the creepy music behind it, it was from the video’s footage, which was Death Scenes 2. Additionally, Morrow’s head can actually be seen floating near the crashed chopper.
No wonder the footage had that ear piercing music. I know that's the point, but hearing that music over the slowed down footage just fills me with a completely different kind of dread
@@YanoLBP ua-cam.com/play/PLHYOKu9d9bz76Dn5iMAmrIofhzUHtJxpu.html Come out from BABYLON: Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. In fact there is only 1 religion, the religion of lucifer, known as satanism and then there is reality , known as CHRISTIANITY. “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” Matthew 7:12 (KJV) Don`t be afraid to judge also, for the whole mankind is called and expected to judge righteously. Love others as ye love yourself - true, but there is some problems with it. Many souls don´t even love themselves, - they do drugs, - fornicate 24/7/365, - they smoke, - they hate, - they envy, - they murder others in their thoughts, - they gossip, and more.… Since when that became a love worthy to share others? Since when being evil, became being loving? Sadly many souls are like...John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 1st we all must make a choosing between the fathers, GOD OR MAMMON, whom shall we serve/whom shall be our father? And then the loving of thy neighbours can come. Therefore, nothing to do with love alone, it is time to bring in righteous judgments also. Let+s go over these 2 verses again; Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Learn to let go from all which soon to be no more: Soon even the most beautiful places on earth shall have extreme weather in the TRIBULATION PERIOD which last 7 years. Earth shall have earthquakes everywhere. No matter the side of the earth, it`s ground shall tremble. That brings forth: - lost lives, - lost houses, - chaos, Do not be busy to make plans in this dying world, which soon to burn up. Be busy seeking out the KINGDOM OF GOD. Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV) Christmas in December is pagan, since when did CHRIST celebrated His own b - day and expected us to do the same? I read out that Christians are called to "celebrate"(keep holy THE sabbath day). This is the only "holiday" for Christians for now. Still celebrating pagan holidays with the world = still being wicked. Aren+t we all not to called out to leave Babylon and not have friendships with the world? I have started to doubt that on the NARROW ROAD walks even much fewer souls then i 1st thought. For so many helping to expose the wicked ones yet still standing with them on their wicked holidays. Aren´t we called to endure till the end and to be busy doing the WILL OF GOD: - KEEP, - PREACH, - WATCH, - EXPOSE. We are SPIRITS, death means out of carnal body not out of existence. Spirits get judged in the day of judgment, not carnal bodies. If spirit lived an evil way ( were sinning their whole lifetimes and repented not, of course Hell and the lake is were they shall be. After all, HELL and the lake = PRISON, everlasting prison, with no way/chance to get out. Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: Lets go over it again and ask: WHO ARE CALLED TO REPENT and to have a new Spiritual birth? - muslims, - indus, - atheists, - ignorants, - lgbtq++++++++ - buddisths, - satanists, - new agers, - all who place themselves under new yet old cool titles i haven´t yet heard. Luke 13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Matthew 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. There is professional help available to all. THE HELP FROM GOD/CHRIST. Call upon His name and you`ll be: - helped, - freed, - saved. Proverbs 8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Leviticus 19:31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God. Male staying male is the most handsome. Female staying female is the most beautiful. There is no beauty in FTMs and in MTFs , only pure PRIDE which keeps them BLIND. This material, ye meet here in this playlist, should help you to stop FORNICATING: ua-cam.com/play/PLHYOKu9d9bz6iXzZxn95AIIhSbIODUu7V.html There is no beauty nor handsomeness in the image of an BAPHOMET. What shall it profit to a man if he re - creates himself in the image of a false god? What shall it profit to a man if he keeps celebrating all which wicked? What shall it profit to a man if he keeps denying TRUTH and delaying the truth to be seek`d out? Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Luke 9:25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Ecclesiastes 1:3 What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? GOD place souls who love not the truth UNDER THE STRONG DELUSION just to keep their hearts unbroken by the truth. GOD is caring and loving, and if you have shown to Him with your life that no truth are you wanting, then where is the surprising thing? If lies is what you love, then lies is what you`ll love. God give you what you asked for. You didn+t repent in your lifetime, therefore ye asked the love for lies. And ye then got your wish. If ye repented in your lifetime, therefore ye asked for truth and the truth was given to you. For those who truly hunger for truth: Jeremiah 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. For those who wanted the love for lies: 2 Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: Well how can ye love truth if not knowing nor understanding the truth? How can ye love what ye dont know? For example: There is many who help to expose the wicked, yet still wish merry xmas - that = also not having the love for the truth. They may have the knowing of the truth that xmas and other holidays are pagan and not to be celebrated, but as long as they do celebrate these, they don`t understand the truth nor love it. 1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. John 14:31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence. Worrying about what to wear and from where to get clothes? Matthew 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? Luke 12:22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Luke 12:29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. If GOD/CHRIST promise to give us all which we shall need, then why are we choosing to be of doubtful mind and still worrie? The governments of this world are in reality only the EVIL SPIRITS, they don`t care about a single human soul, therefore counting on them, for taking care about us is unwise.
Man I actually felt something on Tetsushi's story. That's rare when I'm watching a video. But just the way things went were so brutal. I couldn't not feel dread. But hey, he lived. That's very good. I think I honestly felt real relief when I heard he survived but damn. Just a few seconds later? He got so lucky in that regard. I mean the situation isn't lucky but him surviving it certainly is.
I know my gut just turned watching him being messed with while entirely limp. I know those tv showers were pretty extreme with jokes but I'm shocked no one really checked on him. When my friends would mess with me like that my ass was pulling them out of the pool bc that shit is serious.
@@queenkoala9705 Honestly like yeah I get it was all light hearted and the mood was all jokes but the guy was literally limp. Somebody should have noticed sooner imo
I don't know why more people aren't talking about the age difference in the first chapter? He was 63 when he killed her, she was 52. This was a decade after the show where he said he had been married for over 27 years. During the episode, he was ~53 and she was ~42. He was 26 when they got married, and she was 15!
John Landis was explicitly warned not to have the helicopter at that low of an altitude with the pyrotechnics in place, and he just ignored all safety concerns. It is simply disgusting to me that he was never held accountable.
What ethnicity owns Hollywood? Landis is of that same ethnicity. Just like Weinstein and Epstein. Maybe the rest of the world doesn't hate your for your ethnicity. Maybe they hate you for the evil things you do.
I think the most horrifying thing on earth is being unheard in a dire situation. Tesushi desperately needing help and Herbert being trapped in is own head, countless people who can't communicate in a near vegetative state and hearing people debate pulling the plug--hell, even drowning or like, being unable to tell someone you're in pain after a stroke or seizure or something and you just sit there, aware and stuck in your own head. Its something that has always truly scared me deep down. This idea of screaming for help, but no one helps, because they simply don't understand how desperately you need it. Its not that they're ignoring you or don't care, thats easy to process. They literally have no idea and you can't tell them, and later they will have to suffer because of it. Its truly the deepest, most disturbing concepts to me.
@@Absynthe23was thinking the same thing. I get sleep paralysis at least once a week and have for the passed 10 years. No one I know gets it. But it's horrific. The only thing I can do is chomp my teeth together, that's all I can move. And sometimes it will wake my partner and he knows if he hears that noise, he needs to shake me awake immediately. Sometimes no one is around though, and I have to keep trying to move until I'm finally able to move my head to wake up. 😩
@@angellike4344his is going to sound crazy but start praying. Idk what you believe in but pray hard. One time I was in a deep sleep paralysis and I seen a dark shadow over me. I couldnt move or speak but could hear my thoughts. I screamed Jesus in my head loud as I could. Im not the most religious person by the way. I just kept screaming Jesus God and the shadow got scared and I was released. Idk what sleep paralysis is exactly but I truly believe I saved my life that night. Sorry if this sounds wild. I havent had it since that night.
Despite John Landis never being charged for his negligence there are still plenty of people who refused to work with him and there has actually been sort of a dark shadow over his career despite his success. I read the book on this and it went into all of the court documents and every single situation leading up to the tragedy. There is no doubt in the judge's mind that there were multiple laws being violated but at the end of the day these people they have this weird diplomatic oath to these directors in Hollywood and if you look into this case despite it starting in the late '80s it was not finished until the early 2000s.
Thank you for not actually showing the footage of the Twilight Zone set crash, I know it's probably more to do with YT guidelines but it's a truly horrific stretch of seconds. I was watching a documentary series on Shudder a few months back and one episode was about this accident. The episode played the full footage of Morrow running with the children and the out of control helicopter crashing right into them, it was horrific.
The case with Donald Herbert upsets me because that was clearly a case of negligence by the place keeping him. If someone is putting their life at risk with violent thrashing, relying on someone observing them is begging for something terrible to happen. I don't know enough about the cause to suggest medication that could have been used, but simple restraints would have sufficed.
Bit of a misconception with Twilight Zone: While Landis DID enjoy a successful career in the early to mid eighties afterwards, subsequent lengthy public legal battles made the incident more well known, and a tell all book that was published have pretty much left Landis' career destroyed, with only sporadic gigs from the 1990s onwards. In fact, when Landis directed an episode of Masters of Horror in the 2000s, a teamster was on set reading the book (making sure Landis could see him). He then very sarcastically asked Landis to sign it. When Landis explained that that was a difficult time in his life and trying to move past it, the teamster again very sarcastically asked him to sign it, to which Landis stormed off.
Nick, as a member of this community, it's been years since I found a story that I haven't heard before. This video made me feel something that I haven't felt in years. Thank you
I love the way you structure your videos. It's really brilliant, YOU'RE really brilliant. Also, your voice makes the perfect narration for content that's interesting, yet comfort when necessary and shocking when it has to be. AMAZING job.
Imagine how terrible that girl feels for asking the host to play in that Japanese game show. I hope she doesn’t blame herself. Absolutely horrifying seeing the others laughing and shoving his face in playfully.
@@n.b.l.5709 I almost did that at my grandpa's pond when it was getting dug out, when I was a kid. Decided last minute to go feet first just cause it would've made a bigger splash, water was only like 3 inches deep, it was a good 6-8 foot dive I would've broke my neck for sure
But yeah that was gut wrenchingly sad to watch especially when you see him trying to shake his head knowing his neck was akready broken, the pain and fear he had to be experiencing must've been unbearable.
Darwin's law in effect. He was warned, multiple times by Dryden that he'd kill him if he didn't leave but he still thought he had some sort of fantasy upper-hand, like no one can shoot me, I'm too important. Any reasonable person facing an agitated, cornered man with a gun aimed at them would back off
@@mcgrudo Yeah, when he warned him, even I felt nervous through the screen. I damn sure would've believed him in person and not act cocking in front of the cameras.
Yeah it’s probably a bit fucked up but i dont feel bad about this one at all. There is a clear correlation between fucking around and finding out, shoulda left that old man alone
Hi Nick san. I was recommended this vid by UA-cam, and as I started watching the first case, I thought the Japanese one that you picked up would be quite fitting for this theme. And then there it was. Still gives me chills after all these years.
Fantastic video. Unlike most dark moment lists, this actually covered mostly things I haven't seen lots of other videos cover without covering bland topics in the process. Very high potential series, if digging up these moments isn't too tricky.
Nick Crowley is one of my absolute favorite channels. The topics, the quality, the likeability of Nick himself - wish there were more channels like this!
I Feel the same! there are some other content creators who's also very good! here's some tips : Blameitonjorge, Eudoxia mysteries, Disturban and Reignbot. And for the dark and mysterious with a more storytelling format : Mr Ballen :)
It should not have been up to the family to stay up ALL NIGHT with the firefighter. Hospitals and nursing homes have "babysitters" for that EXACT reason. I know because I was one. When I worked as a CNA/GNA at my hospital, one of the many things I did daily was to sit with patients who were deemed "wanderers" or who were fall risks or at risk of becoming violent.
@@BigSmoke-xh5hi You’re a little bit dense, aren’t you? Since it is the family’s responsibility to “take care” of the patient according to you, are you suggesting that if the patient needs some kind of surgery, it is the family’s responsibility to perform the procedure? After all, if the doctor performed the surgery, that would be providing care for the patient, which according to you is just the family’s responsibility.
@@ashleydixon6122don’t be so dense, naive, and idiotic. The family member had a duty they agreed to stay and watch Donald. No one said if a family members needs surgery it has to be done themselves. If they couldn’t be bothered to do their duty they should have spoke up and let someone know so they could take the night to watch him or hire a professional at home nurse.
This is crazy bc I work for a guy who became a quadriplegic in the same exact way except he was at a beach... That was so so so intense and sad and anxiety inducing to watch. I'm so glad they finally stopped "playing" with him and pulled him up. It's clear that no one there had ANY kind of emergency or medical training whatsoever. Damn.
The fact that he dove off and went limp like that and everyone just... Did that. My immediate fear would have been that he knocked himself out cold and to yank him from the water. He was completely unresponsive and they were shoving him deeper. It's so appalling and sad.
What gets me about the Twilight Zone incident is that Morrow actually had a feeling he was going to die before they filmed that part. If he had just listened to that part of him that felt that way and not agreed to the scene, I imagine that this could have been avoided. Always trust your gut feelings, people.
I don't understand why they wouldn't get Tetsushi out of the mud if he didn't lift his head by himself. I just don't understand. He cannot breathe with his face underwater, that's common sense. Any reasonable person would pull them up and at least ask "Hey mate, you ok?"
@@BlueMoonSamurai Exactly. Heck they coulda pulled him out of the water on his back and continued laughing while shaking his shoulder asking dramatically through laughter if he was gonna be ok or something, that would have been funny too. Instead they just left him there. Like, what the fuck.
As someone from Durham, it's so weird hearing about the Albert Dryden case. Not just because it isn't often talked about, but because no one talks about Durham much and hearing his accent is so strange because the Durham dialect is quite unique. I forgot about the case but once I heard his accent I knew he was from Durham lol
Dude I gotta say, of all the amateur youtubers out there about this subject, you are the most gifted. Your editing skills are very artistic, very professional and very classy as well, your enunciation and pacing is very careful and well performed, overall I really hope you make money out of doing this, because you're really good at it.
13:15 I can't imagine how guilty that person must have felt for falling asleep. Logically it was a blessing that he even woke up in the first place and there was no guarantee his health wouldn't deteriorate again, but how awful it must have been to loose him in such an abrupt way after just getting him back...
Oh that's the worst part. They would have woken up if they were sleep there. They left him alone because they didn't want to have someone stay there every night. I would assume the hospital was understaffed because seemingly they wouldn't designate a nurse to the room to watch him. When he clearly was not a "normal case".
The Twilight Zone incident hits even harder when you see the clip of crew going to try and rescue the trio. One man bends under the downed chopper to see if they're still conscious, then visibly reels back in what looks like terror, before wading back away from the crash. Truly heartbreaking
link?
@@mikotoh Unfortunately, the only video I could find that actually had the footage was deleted for copyright strike, a few years back. All I can find nowadays is basically the same footage shown in this vid, but seeing the scene I described previously just stuck with me too well not to share it, in my own way.
@@anon0092 Ah, the days when you could choose for yourself if you wanted to watch something without someone else deciding whether or not you would be offended.
that man will never unsee what he saw down there
Recently saw the bodys aftermath, was rough
The one with Donald Herbert hit me the hardest. Seeing that man's face when he realized he was gone for 10 years was heartbreaking. And just when it seemed like there might be a happy ending, he falls unconscious again and dies. Rest in peace, Donald Herbert. At least he's not suffering anymore.
For me it’s the fact that he must have realized how much of his children’s lives he missed. 😭😭 Heartbreaking, I was close to tears. Truly awful.
Same for me. I had to pause the video for a little bit because I started crying. Though, on a positive note, it's a miracle he was able to wake up and beautiful that he was able to at least spend some time with his loved ones again when his situation beforehand looked somewhat hopeless. Rest in peace, Donald.
you have no clue when he fell unconcious when he started brain bleeding....
Yeah, that was just unfortunate. Very sad situation.
imagine being the family member assigned to watch him, and deciding for just one night it would be okay.. that would cause such guilt.
Why aren’t we talking about Donald’s story more? When I heard “10 years” my guts tightened up so hard. I’m 25 and imagining losing 10 years of my life and waking up at 35 is unfathomable. All of his life plans and goals over those 10 years, just gone in the blink of an eye; think about all of the families members who passed away while he was gone and he didn’t get to say goodbye to. It’s beyond heartbreaking. And then you have to think about the family member who left him alone that single night. The amount of guilt they must’ve felt is unimaginable. That whole story is so tragic and gut wrenching.
Yeah I’m surprised too, maybe because it’s too heavy. Because that was a lot. I won’t ever forget that. Him.
I had a friend be in a coma for a few months after getting hit by a car they had to cut his skull open and let his brain swell and he had to relearn how to walk again etc completely back to normal except he has no filter and kinda says exactly what he thinks he’s not mentally incapacitated to the point of Down syndrome but I’d say he’s mentally immature and has really bad impulse control so we kinda look after him together as friends and is very fragile compared to others but before the accident and being in England he was the best basketball player I’d seen personally and it’s wild that after the accident he was probably even better I appreciate him because he couldn’t be here obviously his story and It’s interesting asking him questions because I like learning about the brain
Why don't YOU look more into it and spread it instead of waiting?
@@TheLakabanzaichrg um they are, can you read?
@@TheLakabanzaichrg also what r u doing for it? besides bitching about it
Oh my gosh, I am so RELIEVED that Tetsushi lived. I thought for certain he was going to drown. I can't believe none of them realized something was wrong. Even if he hadn't been paralyzed, he seemed to be at the very least unconcious. I was gritting my teeth watching them bob his head up and down in the mud. Painful to watch. Happy he's doing okay.
This kind of comedy is extremely common in Japan. I'm sure everyone truly believed he was fooling around.
Lived? Nah. That's no life.
@@makokx7063yup i’ve been that type of comedy even after that accident happened.
there's a lot of culture around all countries haven their own conscious feeling that nothing is going to happened everything is find, and people never take these tragic things serious, I'm not saying Japanese people are stupid, or any other country for that matter, I love Japan.
@@PiousMoltarfr, if I had to live paralysed like that because of a stupid prank I would kms
I couldn’t imagine the kind of guilt that family member felt knowing they left and he fell
It's a guilt that will probably be with them for the rest of their life.
Family member fell asleep, I could never live with myself if something like that ever happened!
That one was so tragic. It hurt so much knowing how he made it, after all those years... he made it... only to die soon after because a family member who was so comfortable with thinking he'd be fine... left.
I couldnt imagine the pain he felt in the afterlife knowing that after 9 years of fighting, he got a second chance and then just to die because his own family member was impatient
Why didn't they strap him down! Wtf
I'm glad for Tetsushi, he's made quite a stunning recovery, and him having the mental strength to come back to the show, shows what kind of a spirit the guy has. It sucks that this happened but I was happy to learn it at least had a good ending.
Does it though? Knwing the japanese, he probably did it at demand of the show producers to "keep their reputation"
@@iamnotjack.whydidichange What's it like making imaginary scenarios to get angry at? must be exhausting
How do you recover from being paralyzed from the neck down?
Just let me drown at that point.
@@darnis6497 if you got angry at that, you may have anger issues and it's best for you to seek help
There was a Japanese man who was psychologically tortured for like a year for a show and I just knew from that case that Tetsushi would act the same way he did, by smiling and saying it wasn't the show's fault.
The thought of slowly drowning in mud without the ability to move or escape while people are slamming you deeper in is terrifying|
It is. Don't dive head first into shallow water people
Nightmare
@@Not_Alwaysliterally if he was standing in the water why would he dive in??? he knew it was very shallow 🤦♀️
Gives me claustrophobic vibes
@@sarusocool he didnt know his neck was gonna break. he didnt expect that. it was a stupid move of him yet a freak accident cause if his head was just a little more upwards tilted his neck probably wouldnt have snapped
22:50 after he says "can you get a shot of this gun" and the camera pans over.. its like you can see what Dryden is thinking in his eyes. He looks around, takes in the situation, probably realizes hes already on camera with a bunch of witnesses, and then you can literally SEE his face change as he makes the decision to take aim and fire. That is an absolutely haunting few seconds.
Again thats what happens when someone with too much power tries to control the land which was purchased by dryden
Dryden is the embodiment of the American Revolt agaisnt the British. Js
Dude tried to engage with the system, warned people what would happen, and they didn't have the good sense to back off even when a gun is in their face. We didn't lose anyone important that day.
A very "What are you going to do, stab me?" says guy who got stabbed type of situation
@@megamandrn001 "we didnt lose anyone important that day". that man probably had a family and a wife and kids, nobody should have died no matter what, dryden is a disgusting human
I find it so upsetting that Morrow and the children got no justice following their deaths. It was a dangerous idea from the start and the director should be held accountable.
Hollywood elitist privilege at its finest. Anyone with wealth or power, or both, lives by different rules than the rest of us.
Agreed!
Rich men have powerful connections….
@@philip-op6de unfortunately very true :(
Hollywood, baby! Getting away with murder for the better part of a century.
I'm terrified of paralysis--Sleep paralysis is one of the most frightening things I've ever experienced. But being completely paralyzed, stuck face-down in mud and suffocating, unable to move or communicate to people, while they taunt you and pour more mud on you... that stuck with me. This is gonna stick with me for a long time.
Have you seen her, the shadow lady?
@Misschien Geld That b1tch still torments me. I've tried it all: meditation, cbd/thc oil, hiking and getting lots of fresh air outdoors, even extra strength sleep-aids but nothing works.
Ur profile pic is gonna stick with me for a long time
Idk if this helps, but the choking/drowning-like feeling you have on a sleep paralysis is due to your body's rhythm while sleeping. So if you ever have one, don't worry, you're not actually running out of air, and if it's too intense, you probably got your sheet of something on your face 😅 I've been there lol
@@loucarstairs4493 My doctor actually explained it perfectly. When I'm in sleep paralasys my body wants to have a panic attack and breath heavily. But Bc i'm still sleeping it feels like I'm 'running out of air' but i'm actually breathing normally. When I calm down and focus on my breathing it actually wakes me up.
The video of Donald Herbert broke my heart. I can't imagine waking up and being told I was out for ten years. I hope he's in a better place now.
When the relative said “ten” at first, I bed Donald was like, ten?? Ten what, days, months?? Only to hear YEARS after that 😭
That was also my initial thought. But after the shock, I guess I’d be very happy that my family decided to keep me (and their hopes) alive for 10 years 🥹 ❤ his story touched me the most
@@jasonvargas7564 right?? I feel like that’s exactly what I would say….I bet the family member who couldn’t stay awake to watch him feels absolutely terrible bc I can’t even lie I thought wow he had a second chance then he lost it….😔
Rest in peace Donald 😥😢
Think about all he missed. 9/11, Columbia disaster, advancement of computer technology, social change. He missed so much
the fact that he could hear their hysterical laughter while they basically almost drowned him and he could do nothing..
For the Twilight Zone segment. The combination of a night scene, child actors, live explosions, and a helicopter overhead. In my eyes, that's just asking for something bad to happen.
I kept hoping it wouldn't end in death. God, it's awful no one was held liable. That was a death trap waiting to happen. Two children and a man's life, ended over a freaking movie
As much as I love John Landis' movies, that man should've been convicted. I cannot believe he got off. Absolutely an injustice.
That video still haunts me all these years later
don't forget - fatigue. Everyone was uber tired and probably slow to comprehend the level of danger. If I remember correctly, the safety director there had also left. That probably wouldn't of passed back then.
@seeingstar.You bots are getting smarter.
You add an almost relevant message to your IP grabber link
oh my god watching those people shove Tetsushi’s face back into the mud again and again with a broken neck was absolutely infuriating.

For real. It's so terrifying watching them just get obliterated out of the blue.

That case made me so mad
Question for a w q.
The Tetsushi bit hit me like a truck. At first I thought he died instantly, but even though he didn't die the fact everyone was playing around and didn't realise the gravity of the situation made me so distressed. Like I don't blame the people around to think he was joking considering the setting they were in, but damn they took too long to realise he wasn't playing around.
I don’t know….I kind of blame the people for potentially causing more injuries to the victim. He was on the ground for a good 10 seconds, I think maybe even longer. If I were in that situation, even in a stupid game show like this one, I would notice something was wrong if someone wasn’t getting up after a couple of seconds. I don’t know, the whole situation was very disturbing to watch. It was like seeing children playing with a doll; no care in the world
@@squirtdraws9260 Oh they sure are to blame for causing more harm to him, but at the same time I don't really want to point fingers too harshly because it wasn't like they did that on purpose/it was a premeditated thing. Also we are all looking at this situation from an outsiders perspective and we have the whole picture of what's happening, so we want to believe we would notice something wrong right away. But it's hard to tell how it would go if you or me were there like, while the whole thing was happening.
Tl:dr: the folks who messed with him should be held responsible for their reckless behavior, but it's not a black and white situation.
In any situation, I would hope most people would immediately check to see if the person is ok. Like he immediately went limp and was face down, how do you think the person is ok? Especially how he fell and the movement of the neck.
For REAL. I was literally in pain watching them not check on him for THAT LONG like r u dumb why would he just stay there for minutes FACE IN MUD NOT BREATHING??? It was too hard to watch I couldn’t

The Twilight Zone incident is so horrific. Not just because of the 3 dead actors, but because none was found liable for the deaths and that John Landis just went on to have a successful career afterwards, living he's life to the fullest. While 2 kids never got to live and experience theirs.
Damn it. Does it make you a bad person if would u wanna whup that fool?
@@billblaski9523 not at all
The worst part for me is that it's all on film
If it was a genuinely unavoidable situation that’d be one thing…but he knowingly violated child labor laws, went against the wishes of the experienced helicopter pilot (who said it was too low and too dangerous) and having the pyrotechnics guys just doing Willy nilly explosions! With a low flying helo it should be 1000% planned! He knew he was doing something risky! That’s called manslaughter! Negligence and reckless endangerment as well.
Hollywood rewarding a director who killed children with a successful career is pretty typical.
Sort of a silver lining to the second story- Yanagida has regained mobility in his upper body and one arm. And, according to his xwhos article, he’s still active as of 2022. Definitely not an ideal situation by any means, but it really brings me joy seeing that he seems to have adapted to his situation. Crazy how he could have been dead in only a few seconds
Thanks for the update! Thankfully they didn’t make it worse for him.

Right before they filmed that scene in The Twilight Zone movie, the director told the parent’s of the children it would be like “a Disney ride”, being fully aware that the man in charge of the special effects told him it wasn’t safe.

Hit the nail on the head with this one. Absolutely.
Damn you right fam
On the case of Tetsushi Yanagida; keep in mind that whenever you suspect a spinal cord injury you're NOT supposed to in ANY WAY move them unless absolutely neseccary and then only do it in a controlled manner (stabilised head, body preferably put on a board and not simply carried in your arms).
While they were joking with him, they were constantly moving his head and neck around- most likely causing the injury to become WORSE, not to mention that they pick him up in a "swan dive" position. Makes me wonder how bad the injury would have been and how differently it would have healed if they realised instantly that he might've gotten severly hurt?
nah man it really makes me fkin angry, I dont thikn I could control myself if something like that happened to my brother or something
@Hanna G….I hear you, but what other choice would they have had? There wouldn’t have been no time to properly stabilize him, before lifting him up because he was face down drowning.
Even if they'd realized what happened right away, if they'd have waited until they got a backboard out there and gotten him properly strapped on (which still would have included moving him a lot since he was fact down in the mud), he absolutely would have suffocated. A spinal injury, even with permanent paralysis, is preferable to smothering to death in the mud waiting for "proper protocol". What the hell. Them pulling him out was the only way he lived at all. And the reason he was hanging there was because unlike most people, he'd just lost all use of his body below the neck. Kind of a catch 22.

For the Twilight Zone movie one, I heard somewhere that the helicopter pilot was actually a veteran who had been flying that model for years and had said before-hand that the whole stunt was a terrible, dangerous idea and, I think, almost didn't go through with participating. If I remember correctly, they basically brushed him off and said "Nah, it'll be fiiiine." So much of that one scene actually was illegal. Horrifically preventable.
Once Albert had the cameras on him he took it as his bluff being called. You can see it in his eyes what he's thinking. "My move? Well here you go then"
Just a small correction to the Renard Spivey story. Although a lot of news outlets didn't report it because it made for a more clickbaity article, the wife he killed was not the one he was "happily married to for 27 years". The wife he killed, Patricia Spivey, he had only been married to since 2015 (which was towards the end of the run of the show). He had three wives, I believe the one he was married to for 27 years at the time was his second wife and he divorced her at some point after that episode which aired no later than 2008.

The thing that pisses me off about the Twilight Zone helicopter crash is that Landis specifically broke the law, deceived the parents about the danger (who were speaking to them through a translator), and when multiple people told Landis about their concerns he would brush them off because he just had to film it exactly how he wanted to and didn’t care about the obvious preventable danger it posed to everyone else. The dude went to these people’s funerals, put on a big “oh woah is me” act, despite family members explicitly telling him not to come, then dragging the court case out and getting away with it even though he was clearly guilty.

I was at school when this came out on the tv. I couldn't believe it! I'm actually on Albert's side on this one, though.

Yeah, not to defend him or anything, but at that point, you are poking at the snake's head. Like even if they were in the right, none of that matters when the guy has a literally gun pointing at you, but like you said, the power trip blinded them.
The Vic Morrow story is so much deeper and darker than you touched on here.
He actually had a fear of working with helicopters, after having a "very serious premonition" that he would be killed in a helicopter crash years prior to this film.
Also, the SFX lead guy actually told the director that he was using too much blasting agent for the scene, and that was before he found even more of what're called "channel charges" hidden in different areas prior to filming. Think of them as conical mortars...
Another failure was in the helicopter pilots safety procedures (or failure to follow said procedures). Once again, the director demanded he fly as close as he did so that the helicopter could be framed against the backdrop of the burning village, as they'd waited all day to film this single scene and only had one shot since he'd planned on essentially decimating the entire on-site set to film this one scene.
The children were also paid off the books to avoid scrutiny from labor laws for having the children in a hazardous environment and working as late as they were.
(Not so) Fun Fact: Stephen Spielberg and John Landis were two very close friends prior to this, and Spielberg actually co-produced the movie, but he completely broke off their friendship and wanted nothing to do with Landis for decades afterwards. I don't believe they've ever reconciled.
The reason I know so much about this is because Vic Morrow was one of my Dad's favorite actors, and my Dad was a huge movie buff, so he'd done research of his own in his youth, and once he'd told me about it, I was a tech kid, so I dove in too.

@askseren ッ I don't blame those guys either, it was a goofy mud fight, that's how it's played, should they have noticed something was up and stopped sooner? Yes. Is it absolutely infuriating and gross to watch with foresight? Yes. But at the end of the day paralysis is the last thing on your mind for an event like this. It only comes across as malevolent because we know he was paralyzed.
It's sad how stupid he was to dive head first into 6 inches of water.
@@Not_Always He didn't dive, he was literally pushed and fell head first. It wasn't intentionally, just a tragic accident
Imagine the guilt the family member who was too exhausted feels every day knowing they pretty much were the reason such a great human being was lost.

The thing you missed about John Landis/Twilight zone movie is that using children at night around pyrotechnics wasn't "technically" illegal, it was very fucking illegal and everyone knew that but John Landis at that time was one of the biggest names of hollywood and you didn't say no and keep your career not to mention those children were not legally employed, Landis consciously worked around child labor laws and employment laws to keep things under wraps so the producers didn't shit can him. The tragedy is that it couldve been a relativley safe scene if not for Landis ego and thoughtlessness, the pilot was a veteran helo pilot that warned landis that what he was asking was insane even for someone as experienced as him, production crew did try to undermine him but sadly failed and to this day John Landis has not been held responsible for the murder of two children.
That's actually bs. Icl.
The "early life" section of his Wikipedia page may offer some hints as to why he got away with something so disgusting.
@@mottathehuttwhy... Cause he's Jewish? Cause his mother was an interior designer? What the hell are you on about?

one thing i've never understood is how landis was let go basically scot free but especially how the twilight zone incident didn't completely obliterate his reputation.
I remember watching some documentary on what happened on the Twilight Movie set. Watching the helicopter fall and the blades spin made my heart drop into my stomach. Absolutely gutwrenching to see, especially knowing those kids should not have been there and all the corners that were cut that led to the tragedy. The fact there was little more than a slap on the wrist as punishment for the people responsible is such a miscarriage of justice.

For a little more context regarding The Twilight Zone movie, I listened to a podcast that went over that whole tragedy. Apparently, the helicopter pilot was a Vietnam veteran, and had warned Landis that there were too many explosions, and that they were too close to the helicopter, which will cause it to malfunction and crash. Landis then proceeds to tell the crew to add MORE pyrotechnics for an even bigger explosion, without informing the pilot. He is an absolute scumbag, and I am amazed that he never seen a day in jail for that atrocity.

I too am from the Buffalo NY area and was working at the nursing home that Donald Herbert resided at. It was an absolute shock for the employees when he started talking. There was also talk of it being potentially short lived since it is all reality, uncharted and outside of typical recovery. I am sure the value of that time he gained was absolutely invaluable to his family and friends.
Did you ever interact with him?
Why did his bed not have railings or restrains if it was known that he was thrashing?
@@azurabbit12 right? What the hell? This is the most awful story I have ever heard and the second tragedy could have and should have been prevented!!
It takes a special person to be a fire fighter and a nurse. My adopted dad was a fire chief for 40 years, my sister brother in law niece and newphews still do it. I tried but my ptsd made shit worse. That's terrible he passed that way.
@@azurabbit12 Sometimes it's illegal to do that in nursing homes. I work in one and even if patients are at risk of falling, it's considered a restraint to do that and it's sometimes illegal to restrain patients. Although I will say, they could have placed a pillow underneath the mattress on either side and it may have helped, that's what we do if we have patients that are at risk of falling out of bed.
The firefighter’s story could be a result of neuroplasticity….remarkable. His family member who left him alone must have so much guilt.
The fact that John Landis isn't currently rotting away in a prison cell is utterly disgusting

The story of Donald Herbert is so heartbreaking. When he woke up and was just asking for someone to tell him how long he'd been gone, and then him simply falling out of bed being the reason he finally passed away.
Dude caused the death of 3 people, wasnt found guilty, had a party for the jurors, continued with his career for a short time and still released the film that deleted Vic and 2 innocent kids. Wow. I dont know how that guy is able to sleep at night
John Landis was even warned that it was dangerous, and he went ahead anyway and urged the helicopter even closer to the actors. The whole story of his actions both leading up to and after the accident are despicable really.
Wasn't the pilot also a Vietnam veteran as well? I've read some sources that claim that the explosions set off PTSD
He made An American Werewolf In London, though...
@@jacekatalakis8316 I think it was one of the kid's parent
@@NessieNice Went to check, and the pilot was had sered in Vietnam and the camera crew on board the copter told the pilot to get out of there but Landis overruled them and told the pilot to get lower. I can't find anything about the pilot freezing up however, just the testimony to the investigators about Landis overruling the camera crew who wante the pilot to get out of there
I recently watched some documentary about how some producers break thy rules to get the shot they want. One ended with someone being hit by a train. Where they weren't supposed to be filming.
The Twilight Zone accident is so much worse than you alluded to. Vic Morrow, and the child actor he was holding was decapitated by the helicopters whirling blades, the other child was crushed under the skids of the aircraft. This footage was showed countless times at the trial, and in part on news broadcasts. The only reason it still exists is that someone ripped a copy from the work print, and sold it to a Faces of Death knock off, Death Scenes. That’s why it has the creepy music behind it, it was from the video’s footage, which was Death Scenes 2. Additionally, Morrow’s head can actually be seen floating near the crashed chopper.
No wonder the footage had that ear piercing music. I know that's the point, but hearing that music over the slowed down footage just fills me with a completely different kind of dread

Come out from BABYLON:
Revelation 18:4
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
In fact there is only 1 religion, the religion of lucifer, known as satanism and
then there is reality , known as CHRISTIANITY.
“Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.”
Matthew 7:12 (KJV)
Don`t be afraid to judge also, for the whole mankind is called and expected to judge righteously.
Love others as ye love yourself - true, but
there is some problems with it.
Many souls don´t even love themselves,
- they do drugs,
- fornicate 24/7/365,
- they smoke,
- they hate,
- they envy,
- they murder others in their thoughts,
- they gossip,
and more.… Since when that became a love worthy to share others? Since when being evil, became being loving?
Sadly many souls are like...John 8:44
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
1st we all must make a choosing between the fathers, GOD OR MAMMON, whom shall we serve/whom shall be our father? And then the loving of thy neighbours can come.
Therefore, nothing to do with love alone, it is time to bring in righteous judgments also.
Let+s go over these 2 verses again;
Hosea 4:6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
John 8:32
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Learn to let go from all which soon to be no more:
Soon even the most beautiful places on earth shall have extreme weather in the TRIBULATION PERIOD which last 7 years.
Earth shall have earthquakes everywhere. No matter the side of the earth, it`s ground shall tremble.
That brings forth:
- lost lives,
- lost houses,
- chaos,
Do not be busy to make plans in this dying world, which soon to burn up.
Be busy seeking out the KINGDOM OF GOD.
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”
1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV)
Christmas in December is pagan, since when did CHRIST celebrated His own b - day and expected us to do the same?
I read out that Christians are called to "celebrate"(keep holy THE sabbath day). This is the only "holiday" for Christians for now.
Still celebrating pagan holidays with the world = still being wicked.
Aren+t we all not to called out to leave Babylon and not have friendships with the world?
I have started to doubt that on the NARROW ROAD walks even much fewer souls then i 1st thought.
For so many helping to expose the wicked ones yet still standing with them on their wicked holidays.
Aren´t we called to endure till the end and to be busy doing the WILL OF GOD:
- KEEP,
- PREACH,
- WATCH,
- EXPOSE.
We are SPIRITS, death means out of carnal body not out of existence. Spirits get judged in the day of judgment, not carnal bodies. If spirit lived an evil way ( were sinning their whole lifetimes and repented not, of course Hell and the lake is were they shall be. After all, HELL and the lake = PRISON, everlasting prison, with no way/chance to get out.
Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
Romans 3:10
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Lets go over it again and ask: WHO ARE CALLED TO REPENT and to have a new Spiritual birth?
- muslims,
- indus,
- atheists,
- ignorants,
- lgbtq++++++++
- buddisths,
- satanists,
- new agers,
- all who place themselves under new yet old cool titles i haven´t yet heard.
Luke 13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Matthew 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
There is professional help available to all. THE HELP FROM GOD/CHRIST. Call upon His name and you`ll be:

What shall it profit to a man if he re - creates himself in the image of a false god?
What shall it profit to a man if he keeps celebrating all which wicked?
What shall it profit to a man if he keeps denying TRUTH and delaying the truth to be seek`d out?
Mark 8:36
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Luke 9:25
For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Ecclesiastes 1:3
What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?
GOD place souls who love not the truth UNDER THE STRONG DELUSION just to keep their hearts unbroken by the truth. GOD is caring and loving, and if you have shown to Him with your life that no truth are you wanting, then where is the surprising thing? If lies is what you love, then lies is what you`ll love. God give you what you asked for. You didn+t repent in your lifetime, therefore ye asked the love for lies. And ye then got your wish. If ye repented in your lifetime, therefore ye asked for truth and the truth was given to you. For those who truly hunger for truth: Jeremiah 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. For those who wanted the love for lies: 2 Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
Well how can ye love truth if not knowing nor understanding the truth? How can ye love what ye dont know?
For example:
There is many who help to expose the wicked, yet still wish merry xmas - that = also not having the love for the truth.
They may have the knowing of the truth that xmas and other holidays are pagan and not to be celebrated, but as long as they do celebrate these, they don`t understand the truth nor love it.
1 John 2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
John 15:10
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
1 John 3:1
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
John 14:31
But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
Worrying about what to wear and from where to get clothes?
Matthew 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? Luke 12:22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Luke 12:29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
If GOD/CHRIST promise to give us all which we shall need, then why are we choosing to be of doubtful mind and still worrie?
The governments of this world are in reality only the EVIL SPIRITS, they don`t care about a single human soul, therefore counting on them, for taking care about us is unwise.
Great intel and totally factual. Sad that they got away with the murders of the actors and Alec Baldwin seems to be getting the same treatment.

Man I actually felt something on Tetsushi's story. That's rare when I'm watching a video. But just the way things went were so brutal. I couldn't not feel dread. But hey, he lived. That's very good. I think I honestly felt real relief when I heard he survived but damn. Just a few seconds later? He got so lucky in that regard. I mean the situation isn't lucky but him surviving it certainly is.
I know my gut just turned watching him being messed with while entirely limp. I know those tv showers were pretty extreme with jokes but I'm shocked no one really checked on him. When my friends would mess with me like that my ass was pulling them out of the pool bc that shit is serious.

I don't know why more people aren't talking about the age difference in the first chapter? He was 63 when he killed her, she was 52. This was a decade after the show where he said he had been married for over 27 years. During the episode, he was ~53 and she was ~42. He was 26 when they got married, and she was 15!
John Landis was explicitly warned not to have the helicopter at that low of an altitude with the pyrotechnics in place, and he just ignored all safety concerns. It is simply disgusting to me that he was never held accountable.
I know right?
He will be soon.... don't worry
White mans world
@Golden Eye….. I was thinking the same thing.
What ethnicity owns Hollywood? Landis is of that same ethnicity. Just like Weinstein and Epstein. Maybe the rest of the world doesn't hate your for your ethnicity. Maybe they hate you for the evil things you do.
I think the most horrifying thing on earth is being unheard in a dire situation. Tesushi desperately needing help and Herbert being trapped in is own head, countless people who can't communicate in a near vegetative state and hearing people debate pulling the plug--hell, even drowning or like, being unable to tell someone you're in pain after a stroke or seizure or something and you just sit there, aware and stuck in your own head. Its something that has always truly scared me deep down. This idea of screaming for help, but no one helps, because they simply don't understand how desperately you need it. Its not that they're ignoring you or don't care, thats easy to process. They literally have no idea and you can't tell them, and later they will have to suffer because of it. Its truly the deepest, most disturbing concepts to me.

Sometimes no one is around though, and I have to keep trying to move until I'm finally able to move my head to wake up. 😩
@@angellike4344his is going to sound crazy but start praying. Idk what you believe in but pray hard. One time I was in a deep sleep paralysis and I seen a dark shadow over me.

Despite John Landis never being charged for his negligence there are still plenty of people who refused to work with him and there has actually been sort of a dark shadow over his career despite his success. I read the book on this and it went into all of the court documents and every single situation leading up to the tragedy. There is no doubt in the judge's mind that there were multiple laws being violated but at the end of the day these people they have this weird diplomatic oath to these directors in Hollywood and if you look into this case despite it starting in the late '80s it was not finished until the early 2000s.

Thank you for not actually showing the footage of the Twilight Zone set crash, I know it's probably more to do with YT guidelines but it's a truly horrific stretch of seconds. I was watching a documentary series on Shudder a few months back and one episode was about this accident. The episode played the full footage of Morrow running with the children and the out of control helicopter crashing right into them, it was horrific.
I saw that on Shudder, and the set designer guy. He is still so haunted by all of it.
I vaguely remember watching this video back then and he did show it, idk if he changed it, it looks like he edited out
The case with Donald Herbert upsets me because that was clearly a case of negligence by the place keeping him. If someone is putting their life at risk with violent thrashing, relying on someone observing them is begging for something terrible to happen. I don't know enough about the cause to suggest medication that could have been used, but simple restraints would have sufficed.
Can you imagine being the family member who left Donald alone??
@@christiancoates609 It would be the same as waking up with a dead body of your family member beside you
Bit of a misconception with Twilight Zone: While Landis DID enjoy a successful career in the early to mid eighties afterwards, subsequent lengthy public legal battles made the incident more well known, and a tell all book that was published have pretty much left Landis' career destroyed, with only sporadic gigs from the 1990s onwards. In fact, when Landis directed an episode of Masters of Horror in the 2000s, a teamster was on set reading the book (making sure Landis could see him). He then very sarcastically asked Landis to sign it. When Landis explained that that was a difficult time in his life and trying to move past it, the teamster again very sarcastically asked him to sign it, to which Landis stormed off.
His suffering is well deserved

It should not have been up to the family to stay up ALL NIGHT with the firefighter. Hospitals and nursing homes have "babysitters" for that EXACT reason. I know because I was one. When I worked as a CNA/GNA at my hospital, one of the many things I did daily was to sit with patients who were deemed "wanderers" or who were fall risks or at risk of becoming violent.
Sadly, nursing homes are severely under staffed.

@@BigSmoke-xh5hi You’re a little bit dense, aren’t you? Since it is the family’s responsibility to “take care” of the patient according to you, are you suggesting that if the patient needs some kind of surgery, it is the family’s responsibility to perform the procedure? After all, if the doctor performed the surgery, that would be providing care for the patient, which according to you is just the family’s responsibility.
@@ashleydixon6122don’t be so dense, naive, and idiotic. The family member had a duty they agreed to stay and watch Donald. No one said if a family members needs surgery it has to be done themselves.

This is crazy bc I work for a guy who became a quadriplegic in the same exact way except he was at a beach... That was so so so intense and sad and anxiety inducing to watch. I'm so glad they finally stopped "playing" with him and pulled him up. It's clear that no one there had ANY kind of emergency or medical training whatsoever. Damn.
The fact that he dove off and went limp like that and everyone just... Did that. My immediate fear would have been that he knocked himself out cold and to yank him from the water. He was completely unresponsive and they were shoving him deeper. It's so appalling and sad.
That was horrifying.
What gets me about the Twilight Zone incident is that Morrow actually had a feeling he was going to die before they filmed that part. If he had just listened to that part of him that felt that way and not agreed to the scene, I imagine that this could have been avoided. Always trust your gut feelings, people.

Dude I gotta say, of all the amateur youtubers out there about this subject, you are the most gifted. Your editing skills are very artistic, very professional and very classy as well, your enunciation and pacing is very careful and well performed, overall I really hope you make money out of doing this, because you're really good at it.
13:15 I can't imagine how guilty that person must have felt for falling asleep. Logically it was a blessing that he even woke up in the first place and there was no guarantee his health wouldn't deteriorate again, but how awful it must have been to loose him in such an abrupt way after just getting him back...
Oh that's the worst part. They would have woken up if they were sleep there. They left him alone because they didn't want to have someone stay there every night. I would assume the hospital was understaffed because seemingly they wouldn't designate a nurse to the room to watch him. When he clearly was not a "normal case".
@@Lycanvenom Oookay I assume you know that for a fact and didn't just pull this out of your ass?
Having him live like that, hooked up to machines and needing constant supervision by other people, is no way to live.
