Caught in an avalanche in Kyrgyzstan

- Context:
9 brits and 1 American on a guided tour of the Tian Shan mountains in Kyrgyzstan. We’d just reached the highest point in the trek and I separated from the group to take pictures on top of a hill/ cliff edge. While I was taking pictures I heard the sound of deep ice cracking behind me. This is where the video starts. As I was there for a few minutes already, I knew there was a spot right next to me to shelter. I was on a cliff edge, so the only place to run was towards the avalanche and away from the shelter next to me (hence why I don’t move). Yes I left it to the last second to move, and yes I know it would have been safer moving to the shelter straight away. I’m very aware that I took a huge risk. Regardless, when the snow started coming over and it got dark/ harder to breath, I was bricking it and thought I might die.
Once it was over, the adrenaline rush hit me hard. I knew the rest of the group was further away from the avalanche so should be okay. When I rejoined them I could see they were all safe, although one had cut her knee quite badly and rode one of the horses to the nearest medical facility. Another had fallen off a horse and sustained some light bruising.
The whole group was laughing and crying, happy to be alive (including the girl who cut her knee). It was only later we realised just how lucky we’d been. If we have walked 5 minutes further on our trek, we would all be dead. The path we were suppose to take was completely covered by the landslide/ avalanche. Massive ice boulders and rocks had been spread further than we could have run, even if we acted immediately. I have footage of all of this, including before and after pictures, just not sure where to put it! Still in Kyrgyzstan so signal isn’t great, will be posting related vids on Instagram @harryshimmin
Live, laugh, lanche is now the motto for the group.
That’s some of the steadiest and calm filming I’ve ever seen
Best avalanche video out there
Bro knew he had nowhere to run
@@CombatPilot1 he could have ran to the side
@prideneverdies1001 no way you're out running that in ANY way
Because he's British
Cameraman never dies..
Exactly
Eternal life!
Fr
Bro 🦧🪽
Well maybe he did..
Great commitment to capture the shot!
Not sure if he was quite aware of what he was committing to. Seems more of a lack of understanding.
@@aivarsblums7704 Perhaps he should've ran around screaming before being consumed by the snow?
Realistically you cannot escape that
Not that he can do anything.
Зачем?
What sucks is this video has 44 million views on another channel, while the original poster is making no money off this video, others are making plenty.
Who’s the old poster
This is the old poster
@@trumangilbert1458 this channel that you are on right now, Harry Shimmin, is the original poster. Not enough views to make a penny according to youtube's requirements. Yet other channels are making thousands of dollars off of Harry's video.
whose the op?
@@lilcapjester i've already answered that

So glad you all survived!! Wow! Fantastic video!!!
Thank you for this comment!
Thanks!
Крутой чувак, Гарри)
Great video & very Thankful you weren't seriously hurt!!!
Mate I hope all these other people and companies that are using your videos are paying you some royalties for each watch
they’re not even crediting him
@@Jammoud😢
Where is this reuploaded?
This is the most epic avalance I've ever seen. This video is going to be viral. Hope you all are well )
And it wasn't
But it is, only elsewhere.@@davidsenay2811
To lucky man, the owner of this video:
Turn on the monetization asap, if you did not already. You may make nice money out of milions views on this short clip.
Good luck!
Is it possible to started earning money if you get good views only on one video? Isn't it required to have specific number of subscribers and views on daily basis?
@@fairyhuh2016 Its possible but this video is already being used by tons of other channels
Claim and assert a copyright on the other videos. You need a lot of hours at least 1,000 subs to get monetized channel. Asserting a copyright will hold you over until then.
He died probably. No other uploads
@@bipratipniyo5646cameraman never dies.
This is amazing! Not just the avalanche but how you held the camera so still and zoomed out nicely as the avalanche approached and kept your cool and kept videoing on the action right till your possible death. Bravo!
It would be perfect if he showed his furneral too 😭 bruh
This is madness. But anyway, for their madness we are able to watch this priceless clip.
😂 this video is priceless.
@ripaday8695 how's that madness? He was in the safest place possible
I mean... You can't really do anything other than just watch and pray. You aint outrunning that shit
Man the moment as it broke over that rock it looks like a massive wave… one of the most terrifying and beautiful things I’ve ever seen
He was a lot calmer than I would have been.
True Brit.
Dude that’s horrifying - seeing a small avalanche in the distance on a mountain and being like “woah cool” and then you realize that it is just not stopping.
For REAL
"Oh God. Oh dear God." Dumbledore said calmly.
Risking one's life to report such a footage is a commitment beyond all expectations. Hats off!
This is astonishing. I'm glad you're ok.
I NEED TO SEE THE WHOLE VIDEO, HARRY!!! 🥶
Thats all
The entire time i was like AVALANCHES DONT HAVE FRICTION RUNNNNNN
You ok there bud?! This might actually net you international recognition if you submit it for a reward. Awesome clip buddy!
Man you are very lucky to survive, because usually people die under such avalanche in Kyrgyzstan.
Bro, this is the best first person view avalanche footage ever captured. You didn't get nearly enough credit. Amazing camera work till the very end!
Bro when the avalanche came my fan blew directly in my face which made realism
Awesome. That's amazing. You wouldn't expect it to go so far. But it just keeps going.
Bravo Harry, you just gave a different perspective of an approaching avalanche
Amazing camera work given the circumstances! :D I am so happy you are able to post it with a positive message. Thanks for sharing.
The cameraman never dies
Tell that to Robert Landsberg. Unless of course you are talking about their legacy. This man used his own body to protect the film from a volcanic eruption.
Commenting for the algorithm. I saw one of those dumb bros reupload and narrate over your video and paused it to find the original. Great video and composure!
Amazing footage 👏 and you're alive and well! I'd say you made all the right decisions! Thanks for sharing this with us!
To those who are wondering he didn’t run because he couldn’t the avalanche is do fast if he would get hit but if you hide behind a rock you can have a chance if jit egytung hirt
At first I thought the person who recorded this avalanche was very far from the scene :"
They were lmao
They thought so too
Bro said oh dear god like he didn’t have a minute and a half to run the opposite direction
Amazing footage and story. Thanks for sharing. Glad that you guys made it out.
cameraman never die
Avalache approaching - "Wow, amazing"
Avalache approaches - "Oh God, dear God"
Avalache approached - "UA-cam baby"
I can’t wrap my head around how it carries ice chunks and rocks uphill, to where you were standing. The dust cloud hides a liquid made of flying boulders.
Башкысы, аман калыптырсың! Ырахмат ушул видеоңо!
I cant stop watching this video. Its seriously amazing. You can sed the whole snow field giving way at the top of the mountain. This is one of the best videos ever. Incredible footage. And you were in the one spot where you were safe.
This is the human version of a deer staring at the headlights of a 6 ton transport truck at 5:00 in the morning
Can we see videos of the aftermath?
I'm curious what the terrain looks like afterwards
I'm just curious I he lived
@@matthewharrison333 OMFG you're curious if the uploader lived? 😆
@@OzzyOscy Is it an assumption that he uploaded it? It could have been someone that found him...
@@BrettHoustonTube On UA-cam, always read the video description before commenting with a question.
@@OzzyOscy The description was not visible in the format I saw it on.
Great shot!!! Looks just like the Colorado Avalanche this year 🏆
So glad you are ok! What a fantastic video but you are a very brave man to shoot this! One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen!!
Probably a top 5 internet video ever for me, pure gold 👌👌👌
*snow mountain starts playing*
ITZ KRIMAAAAAHH
Best avalanche footage, i just watched every one ever filmed
Hang in there harry! That was cool AF. Glad you made it safely out.
Avalanche : ITS MY TIME TO MAKE SNOW!!
I like how hes just casually filming the end of his life
Proof cameraman never dies
This is the actual filmmakers account. You deserve many more likes & and subscribers. I searched you up, hoping to see the whole video on your page. You deserve all the credit.
When you realize you are getting out of zoom....
Never seen anything like this, it shows the power of an avalanche, you heard people talk about Sound like a jet coming toward you. It's shocking how far it went. Hope you are ok, as it wasn't uploaded by Kyrgyzians🙂
Its beautiful... deadly nature but still beautifull.. im glad that you and your group are all alive. Greetings from Poland, all good to you
This is the human version of a deer staring directly to the headlights of an incoming semi
Honestly some of the most incredible footage ever taken. Literally shows you what it's like to get hit by an avalanche... Unreal. It's almost more reasonable to think this is fake lol. If it is fake, really well done.
It's not fake
@@Akamaikai0923 I don't think it is either. My comment was more of a testament as to how incredible this footage really is... When I say this is some of the most incredible footage ever taken I really mean it.
Well done on keeping a cool head, identifying your escape route and safe zone beforehand. Very glad you all survived.,
Prof camera man never dies
Bro those tiny pieces of ice you can see just in front of the snow are probably each the size of a refrigerator.
Bro it is insane how far these avalanches can go on for. I did not think it would reach him
It’s like an evil fog in a fantasy world
I feel like so much of fantasy has been influenced by real things
It seemed so far in the distance, but as it approached, the size and scale became apparent 😮.
This is a life metaphor of how we just keep thinking that it will never happen to me right up to the last moments before it hits you full force.
I am so FASCINATED with this video!!!
I would go faster then the flash if that was coming towards me
And that's why you would be dead. You can't outrun an avalanche.
Now you have one reason more for celebration every year to come! Congratulation!
How the fuck does this man stay so calm being that close to death😂😂😂
Helicopter
Incredible event you witnessed! Glad everyone was Ok.
AMAZING, TERRIFYING, AND BEAUTIFUL! Alllll the emotions!!
I'm just dying to see the rest of the video. Did you dig out? How deeply were you buried? Did you call for help on your phone? Were you in an air pocket?
Pretty sure he hit that moment where you go screw filming, I gotta figure out how to survive this.
@ziggybender9125 ya thats the point. Surviving this is literally just staying there. Stopping the footage there is fking obnoxious
@@turdle69420 The hell you talking about staying there? Yes stay there till the avalanche stops moving and then you gotta dig your way out before running out of air, if you want to dedicate one of your hands to filming while you dig... I don't suggest it.
@@ziggybender9125I just want to see the rest of the footage either way. Is it uploaded anywhere ?
Read the video description.
“Oh, dear god”
Short prayer. He is still alive.
His mom - oh god why my heart suddenly Beating fast my son is in danger no no if he god please save him please give him atleast 1000 years to live peacefully my lovely son ❤❤
Yall come on. This video needs a million views you've got to give credit to the 📷 man. Would you have stud there. 😮
Great video, I have tried to find the video of the aftermath that was shot by the owner. No luck. Would be great to see the uncut version. How long he was under the ice and snow, how much further did it travel. It was Great reading his story.
Well, he might not survided. But I really hope he is safe
Bummer this is the only video he has. Wanted to see how he is doing after that experience 😮. ❤
I would really like to see the full video, what an insane shot!
I know that I’m really late but this is the whole video. In the end you can se how he turned the camera of
@@fireking8625 no
"if we had walked 5 minutes further on our trek we would have been all dead". You mean you were saved because you were behind that rock when the avalanche hit you instead of trying to run away?
Bro does not fear death 💀💀......
Subscribed and commenting to feed the algorithm. This guy deserves it and not all the reuploaders.
Side note: there were 666 comments until this 😈🤷♂️
Ive watched this probably s hundred times snd counting. The sound in thr video is like s freight train i can only imagine what it sounded like in person. I was worried those boulders you hid in were going it get swept up in thst snd pin you or something. Unbelievable footage though..
Holly moly thats one mega avalnche . Hpoe no one was in the path of it closer than this cameraman awesome footage
Amazing. New sub. You are on the news everywhere
Gee the news.... the media is truly king of it all! Great job camera man for not being taking away by that oncoming rush of snow!!!
That moment he realised ...
It all seems so far away, right until the moment it rushes over your head.
This is amazing, glad you guys are alright
Nothing happens to the cameraman, nothing happens to the cameraman, NOTHING HAPPENS TO THE CAMERAMAN....
That escalated slowly...
Must be cold afterward.
That is the most epic moment, also scary. I'm glad that he is all right.
He knew the cameraman never dies...😂😂😂‼️
"Oh dear god" Famous last words
When he checks to see if theres any more distance between him and the avalanche
*WHOA!!!😱*
You are lucky to live, and THAT is SOME footage!!! 😨❤️
All you can do is stand there and wait for the end to come. It's sheer happenstance that these people survived.
Awesome shot! I will be in the kyrgise mountains in august, hopefully without an avalanche
He sure scrunched up real small behind that little rock !!!
I wonder at what point he transitioned from "Oh wow!" to "Oh f***!"
Glad to find the OP. What an amazing experience!
I thought of this Bulgarian Folksong when I saw your video: ua-cam.com/video/lkkHtuTdIj4/v-deo.html
GREAT FILM! Glad this man's ok!😮wow!
Sound of that is incredible. I would of been shiting my pants
When Mother Nature Prank you. 😂
It is like looking a monster in the face as it comes closer while changing it"s appearance all the time..
“What you gonna do what you gonna do when the *SNOW* comes for you.”
Guy sees bigfoot calmly walking in forrest on a lazy afternoon.
*shakes camera violently*
Man faces down a avalanche
*solid as a rock*
