    Simon you are at your absolute best when you cover events like this. You make people very aware of the seriousness of the topic your covering and bring our all the right emotions and feelings in your audience.. The background music is always well chosen to ensure that your listeners understand and embrace the seriousness of the story.
    You have an incredible gift Simon of telling the story and that your audience will think or talk about it to others well after the episode ends .
    You have a perfect team of writers that you work in harmony with. It's an excellent and rare combination to have.
    I greatly appreciate all the hard work you and your staff to do make all your stories come to life. You have a set that compliments the tone of your story .
    When it comes to your more funny segments which I also love. You have impeccable comedic timing along with the music and video shorts..
    I would like to express my sincere appreciation to you and say thank you Simon. Thank you for what you do and to open our eyes and make us think . Your not just a well established and highly respected storyteller.
    You are a man that the world needs in these uncertain times to make us think, change, debate, laugh, cry. And most of all to make us aware that we are have the potential to become better people and be more loving and compassionate towards others.

    The Russian approach to things like this is always like they've watched too many Hollywood action movies. There is no such thing as 'sleeping gas' per se - if you want to render a human unconscious through use of sedative substances, no matter how it's administered, they're all going to need respiratory support. The dosage that the people inside received was undoubtedly massive and was always going to end in causing mass civilian casualties. In classic Russian style though this basic fact was ignored and a lot of innocent people died due to reckless incompetence.

    • @darkhymn
      @darkhymn 4 місяці тому +13

      It probably wasn’t incompetence so much as willful negligence. The Russian stance on civilian casualties varies between “shit happens, people are cheap” when it’s Russian civilians in question and “yes, as many as possible” when it’s anyone else. They wanted those militants dead and civilian casualties simply weren’t a factor.

      You have a point, but your statement is as insensitive as me saying something like "and that's why you don't let illegal immigrants in" About 9/11 in my humble opinion it takes pretty crappy security to lose two planes and let them cause such havok, as if us citizens watch too much Hollywood movies where hero always wins.
      I mean nothing by that, but you know to little about the situation to talk about Russians like that, so as I do know too little about Americans to talk so boldly about 9/11. Chechnya was a clusterfuck. The same way Iraq was.

    My youth pastor's brother and his family were in the Dubrovka Theatre when this happened. The terrorists released them (at the end of the first day if I remember right) as they were US citizens, but their Russian friends had to stay through the whole thing, I believe they all survived. They still stayed in Russia until the invasion of Ukraine. I was a young kid when that happened, but I remember it well, though I haven't thought about it in 10 years.. We had youth group on Wednesday or Thursday nights, it was a pretty surreal experience as we all sat there watching the tv.

      Just curious, are you wearing headphones? I've seen a lot of people mention the music is very loud the last couple months on a LOT of different videos.
      I'm listening on my TV, and even with military grade tinnitus I hear Simon just fine. Most videos I don't even realize there's music.
      I'm starting to wonder if there's some setting that's making the music louder for some people, or a model of headphones, or something.
