Thanks for including time stamps that are linked to the stories. (Super helpful feature.) It’s nice how you take the time and effort to credit the authors 🦋
The story about the man stuck at sea for that huge, long period of time doing everything he could to survive almost brought tears to my eyes. What a trooper. Truly inspiring.
Oh my God. I read the book on the USS Indianapolis. The Navy was so incredibly incompetent and had the audacity to blame the captain. The port the ship was supposed to show up at assumed the ship arrived, so they just marked it off as such, and that's why no one thought the SOS messages were real. So, the Navy besmirched his reputation.
The wild thing is, the Japanese sub commander that torpedoed the Indianapolis actually testified on his behalf at his court martial, saying there wasn't anything the American commander could do to avoid the ship sinking.
@@jaredstiltner3042 Yeah, 'cause the Navy was trying to say he wasn't doing some serpentine maneuver and the sub captain was like "that would have done nothing."
@@kingamity1985 I'm pretty sure the story came first. I looked it up after the video & found that actual historians have discussed its legitimacy. It's likely an urban (oceanic?) legend, but I doubt it was started by Supermassive Games as an underground campaign for the game.
I love when you do historical accounts. You did a video of journal entries from WWI and WWII a while ago which was awesome. Please get more of these into the mix!
hilda landeros Thanks! Now I know which movie I won’t watch unless I want horrible nightmares! 😂 Jokes aside it’d be horrible... Oh god. I don’t even want to imagine it.
hilda landeros Oof same. I was terrified of swimming class in school because in elementary we were learning to hold our breaths underwater and the teacher thought my head wasn’t deep enough (I was underwater but not completely submerged) so he pushed my head down and held it there for a bit. Bad memories, I hated that class ever since. Not a good way to teach kids. F**k that teacher.
It's so nice to hear a story about the Ourang Medan/Man of Medan right as the game of the same name based on that story is coming out. I hope the game gives us something good since it's such a mysterious story without any real conclusion!
My Uncle Jim survived the USS Indianapolis He has told me some horror stories of the nights that he drifted in the ocean listening to his fellow shipmates dying around him from the shark attacks love you Uncle Jim
Story two hit me hard! I remember that like it was yesterday. I live in Mobile and that hurt everyone and everything by and around the water hard. Some of the people that helped clean up got cancer from it.
Sean....you're not alone. I fear and respect the sea. So many lost ships, people, cities and much more. I don't want to know. Let braver souls dive n discover. I'll wait for them to return... 😏👍👍
Ive tried underwater walking last year on vacation. We didnt have to use tanks but just the helmet because the water stopped just above the shoulder so there was air. I have a phobia of below the ocean and i thankfully didnt panic. I mean it was scary but i told myself to be calm. I enjoyed it. Didnt think of whatever could be swimming around me and took cool pictures🙂. But i wouldnt do it again.
Lovecraftian horror? Well, if not there really isn’t much down there to fear, aside from ghosts of that really angry great white spermwhale moby dick was based on.
I am from Louisiana and lived 20-30 miles from the coast. You can’t quite smell it from there but a short drive south and you can. After DH happened you could 100% smell it for months.
Maybe someone can help me here I'm looking for a specific story I believe I listened to on this channel, it was about someone giving a family member a ride at night. They pass some kind of phone booth I think and see some kind of pale and humanoid creature standing inside and they get a horrible feeling and drive off. When returning later on, it was gone. I remember really enjoying this story for some reason but I can't find it anymore...
There was a guy who knew my dad while he was growing up and he survived the sinking of USS Indianapolis. He wrote a book about it and my dad had a signed copy. I never met the guy but knowing what he survived on that mission alone is something to think about. I’m trying to join the Navy and hope to hear back for sure soon. RIP to those brave sailors who lost their lives helping us win the war.
Brilliant! Just brilliant! Thank you for all your research and sensitivity in the retelling of these powerful stories. Some made for deeply emotional listening. Bless 🙏
Holy crap imagine getting in trouble for not avoiding an invisible threat/ saving 300 people in under 12 minutes with the rest of the crew along with it. Blows my mind
Love these readings! Usually listen to this stuff while doing other things. Though, have to say, smiled a bit when the Ourang Medan one started playing, because Man of Medan just came out yesterday.
Absolutely excellent selection of wonderful stories!! And so nice to hear some we haven't heard a dozen times by other narrators!! Thank you..one of the best videos I have heard in a long time! Also the fact that it was such a long video was like icing on the cake!! Thanks again
Oh wow! Man of Medan is a video game. I knew one of the stories sounded similar to the game until he mentioned Man of Medan as a city. Interesting...I guess the game is based off this story.
I read about the USS Indianapolis in the July 2019 issue of Reader's Digest. What those men suffered was unimaginable and horrific. There were a couple of actual pictures of some these men right after their rescue and also shows two pictures of four of the twelve remaining 1945 Indianapolis crew greeting sailors on the new version of the USS Indianapolis, launched in 2018. The name of the article is "The Last Bad Day" by Doug Stanton. The introduction reads as follows: Survivors of the USS Indianapolis spent days bobbing in the sea, enduring sharks, blistering sun, and dehydration. How they conducted themselves in the water afterwards is an affirmation of life. 🛳️
I remember watching Jaws the first time, and being disgusted by Quint’s obvious vendetta against sharks. Until the drinking scene, where he talks about the worst part being the moments right before his turn to be pulled from the water. May not be right or just, but I don’t have the gall to blame any of those sailors, if any of them decided to embark on a shark-finning or drum-lining career. Yeah, just predators following their instincts, rah rah. Bet it didn’t *feel* like that, watching a dozen man passed by, before your best friend started shrieking and bleeding, before being pulled down.
Really enjoyed this episode, the ocean stories are fascinating but also some incredibly tragic stories as well. I’d like to hear some more ocean stories
side note... things that kinda bother me with this story: 1) if the makeshift raft is attracting fish, the sharks wouldn't bother waiting to attack the guy. they'd just go for the easy prey? 2) how does a solar still slowly stop working? the simplest design is literally a cup, a big bowl, some kind of plastic, and a heavy object 3) i feel like it would take a WHILE for enough barnacles to attach themselves to a nylon raft so that plenty of fish start showing up.... not to mention the shear size of the raft needed to not only attract WHALES but also fisherman from god knows where? final rating: false tale 😤🤧
Those family members who harassed captain McVey are actual scum. I know you’re hurting, but my sympathy can only go so far in terms of excusing shitty behavior.
Grief tries to find blame, but doing it year after year is inhuman and vindictive. That's no longer grief lashing out, that's a sick human being looking to spread their toxicity. :(
