A Collection of Horrible Fates Marathon 

By popular request, here is a longer format video without having to listen to all of the intros and outros of the videos in a playlist format. As with my other cave-exploring marathon, the earlier stuff is noticeably worse visually and in terms of audio quality. Unfortunately, there’s only so much I can do in post to fix that. Later marathons will be up to the current standard, AND the regular upload will still be this weekend! This weekend we've got some cave/diving content, and next weekend a brand new collection, as per your requests in the recent post! Have a great week! - Sean

I love how there used to be people literally glowing in the dark and people were like "probably fine"

That first Yellowstone story reminds me how important it is to keep dogs on a leash. No matter how well trained it’s better to be safe than sorry.

It's important to mention that Yellowstone isn't just "boiling water". This isn't just a hot spring. It's literally acid Edit: Hey everyone, this comment is almost a year old! If you plan on replying to correct me, I promise someone beat you to it. Only a small portion of the springs in Yellowstone are acidic.

Imagine being Alice. You accidentally get buried alive and after fighting for 2 days and then your family goes “ehh she’s dead enough, just bury her again”

Can you imagine being the mother of that poor little girl who was trapped and having to see that photograph. I don’t know how you could ever get over something like that.

Tilly grabbed her arm, not her ponytail, that ponytail story was made up by SeaWorld to put the blame on Dawn. Also the fact that Tilly was used as a breeding whale for the rest of SeaWorld and ended up dying from a lung infection in a small pool is just horrid.

the radium one made my blood boil. the fact that they tried to drag and stall the legal proceedings on for as long as possible because they knew the women had a limited time to live is absolutely inhuman. idk if there's a hell but i hope those people are COOKING

Omayra Sanchez died from sepsis. Her blood had become infected by the waste that was all around her, soaking into her injuries and poor little body. It was one of the most gutwrenching things to happen to a child I have ever seen. She was told she was goong to die. And she did, alone, all but for the reporters who were there holding her hand. It was absolutely heartbreaking. It still is all of these yeats later. 😢

Because of incidents such as the one at Bumblebee Foods, there is a "lock out tag out" procedure where electrical equipment cannot be turned on during repairs. RIP Jose

When I hear stories about the guy getting locked in the oven and similar events, it always makes me think of lockout/tagout. I know it can be inconvenient, especially during tasks that are quick or that happen often, but that man would be alive if the machine was locked out. I repair and maintain equipment in a hardwood mill and regularly have to be inside/under/on equipment like kilns to dry the lumber (similar to what he was in but as long as a basketball court), chippers that turn an entire log into toothpicks in a matter of seconds, debarkers that strip logs in seconds, bandsaws taller than a house,, etc. Even when I know that I have shutoff the power and I'm the only one with a key to the padlocks I use, it's still a freaky feeling because sometimes you can't help but wonder "what if" somebody powered up the electricity, pneumatics, hydraulics or whatever the power source is while you're inside or underneath a lot of that machinery.

That video of the Station Nightclub Fire is used in the fire service for training on all kinds of topics, including fire spread, building codes and MCIs. The fact that you can see the whole event unfold very clearly in real time makes it horrifying but invaluable as a learning opportunity. It's so cinematic you'd almost swear it was a one take scene from a movie.

The photo of Omira has haunted me since I first saw it. I hope she's at peace.

The buried alive story: Someone in that family WANTED Alison dead.

43:27 Jesus Christ that poor woman… that’s just horrific. I cannot imagine being trapped in an elevator with a head you just saw get separated from the body. And poor Hitoshi. What a horrifying way to go.

That picture of Omyra right before her death is so haunting

I am kind of shocked that a walk-in oven, autoclave, pressurizer, whatever. wouldn’t have an internal door opening mechanism and/or a prominent internal emergency “power off” switch. Even with training and procedures, seems pretty inevitable that eventually….someone will make a mistake and someone will get shut inside.

The radium they used to paint those dials and gages is no joke. I cleaned up the scrap metal from my family's farm and it was decades worth of old logging and farming equipment. Multiole semi trailer loads of it. One of the loads was rejected at the recycle facility because it set off their radiation detectors. They had to empty the trailer and search thru it to find the problem. It was from a cluster of gages out of an old log loader that had been converted from an old WW2 heavy truck. 70 years after it was built, that little bit of radioactive material was over the limits and tripped the alarm even buried inside the middle of that entire trailer load of scrap. Amazing.

For the Alice Blunden case… 100% sounds like foul play. Her family probably gave her the poppy tea and then there’s no way you bury a loved one alive for a second time by accident.

I use the Radium Girls story to explain the importance of OSHA regularly. I'm adding the work related death numbers going from 14k to 4500 despite the massive growth of the workforce.

I used to work as an usher in a theatre, and the fire marshall made us watch the video of the station nightclub fire. It's the most disturbing video I've ever seen. It's been years, but I can still remember the screaming. One infuriating detail is that a bouncer blocked anyone other than the band from exiting through the door behind the stage.

Am I going to relisten to stories I’ve heard multiple times, you bet I am

I haven't seen it written anywhere but in the Radium Girls story their families must have suffered health issues as well, like all the photos show younger girls in their 20s, early 30s, I'm sure some of them had children or babies at least and I can't imagine that a newborn or a developing child being held and cared for by someone literally emitting radiation from their bones is not going to be detrimental to the child's development, some scary shit man. Also anytime I see one of those pictures of an Orca in captivity with it's Dorsal fin sagging downwards like that it just breaks my heart. Being able to feel bored and depressed takes a very high functioning brain, it knows it's not supposed to be in a tank doing tricks for fish, it wants to be out in the open ocean with its Pod hunting. Human beings have such a high capacity to doing good and beautiful things but man when we do horrible despicable things like this..it's just sad.

You're telling me an orca killed three people and SeaWorld was STILL like "but look at what he can do with this beach ball!"?

11:50 poor Omaira, it was said she was hallucinating on being late to go to school 😔😔 even with death around the corner her subconscient mind was the one of a responsible kid

The first story is like the iconic terrible fate story, right up there with Nutty Putty cave. So sad that guy lost both his dog, and his friend, that day.

Those radium girls would be disheartened to hear that we still have to constantly fight against the greed of the big corporations and the harm they do us.

God I watched the full video of The Station fire back when it went viral and it messed me up for a whole week. It is by far one of the most haunting and terrifying videos I’ve ever seen. I know a large portion is shown here but I would recommend against seeking it out and watching the whole thing on your own unless you want to have an audio/visual scar imprinted on your mind that you won’t ever forget. Years later, I never fail to make a mental note of any emergency exits whenever possible.

I feel really bad for Wu. I also think that could happen to me because I’m so alone. No one would notice me gone.

This is a straight banger of a video. Not only is it age restricted but its story after story. Thank you

The most humane way was letting her die in agony? If she could not be saved, at least relief her from the pain

🇬🇧 In 1977, i was a Lab Technician for a UK based company with license to make bottled drinks incl CocaCola. When i started & was shown my duties, one of which was an extremely hazardous test which could have resulted in an excruciating death. The older Lab Tech took me outside on a freezing, snow blizzarding day to the parking bay where an enormous tanker truck was waiting Within the tanker was boiling point ( or higher) liquid sugar. We had to climb up the ladder affixed to the back of the tanker To the top & crawl on hands & knees along a metal grid No special protective wear, no gloves ( as testing equipment was delicate and chancey) Only our own coats, unable to see through sheets of snow with a plastic tray of instruments for collection. Once at the circular lid, we had to unscrew the lid which slid to oneside. LEAN OVER A MAN HOLE CONTAINING SCALDING LIQUID SUGAR.... Dip a long handled metal beaker into the sugar, have the unscrewed sample jars ready, balanced 15ft or more in the air, ontop of this sugar tanker in a snow blizzard, balancing the sample tray on the grid & at arms length, only gripping on with frozen knees, & pour the scalding sugar from a tall thin beaker into skinny sample jars & re screw. Also dip another instrument into the hole to measure the temperature of the boiling sugar in situ. THEN ... FASTEN BACK THE LID & CRAWL BACKWARDS, HOLDING THE SAMPLE TRAY, TO THE LADDER & CLIMB DOWN.... I kid you not! It was terrifying & the heat coming from that open manhole on top of the tanker was Hell Hot! Suffice to say, i got used to it & did the whole thing myself once experienced! But thinking back to those appalling conditions without proper & adequate safety & protective clothing was Enough to sue the company dry. But, we did it, everyone else had to do it & you had to be meticulously vigilant & careful My greatest fear was a strong gust of wind blowing me into the tanker of boiling sugar! Heck it gives me nightmares even now! They wouldnt dare insist staff undertake this kind of work these days, even with safety harnesses & under cover from bad weather AND £500 per tanker test!! You were lucky to get a couple of free bottles of Coke to take home on pay day! To even think a company would allow a young woman to do what I & others did, is unthinkable! Thanks & Peace 🇬🇧👧

My sister has had a job of taking the old cemetery's books (back in the day they'd hand write how the person died and the circumstances behind it) and her job is to take all these books and put them into a computer system. The stories of death and how unbelievably unlucky some people were, is mind boggling. Everything from choking on a bubble gum ball to heart attacks to kids on train tracks, and literally passing away on the toilet. There's SOooo many sad stories! It's quite a sad job but like she said, somebody has to do it. What gets her the most is the stories of the little ones. That's the hardest.

If you think the story of the radium girls is bad, you should do a piece on Eben Byers, a man who drank a lot of Radithor. As is way too much. What happened to him was something out of a horror movie.

The number of you complaining about these being 'repeats' of his earlier videos when the title makes it incredibly obvious this is a marathon compilation of his previous videos is making me lose faith in people's reading comprehension. Do you buy singers' greatest hits albums and then complain there aren't any new songs?

All of these deaths are awful but hearing the first one always breaks my heart the most. Who wouldn’t want to try and save their pet?

after suffering a hundred percent body burns, being taken to salt lake city hospital is just rubbing… well, you know

45:05 - "For whatever reason, the grave couldn't be excavated without proper permission." Seriously? Fuck permission! Get her out for fuck's sake.

An animal psychologist should know how cruel it is to keep Orcas in captivity

For the first story with the dog is sad, but sadly the dog should have been on a leash, especially in such a dangerous place.

The gas station story is aggravated by the fact that it was found that the manager had threatened to garnish wages, or punish the teen for stolen gas. (Very illegal) His story is now told in WorkSafeBC programs for young workers. If he had been made aware of his rights, he certainly would never have attempted to halt the vehicle. Which you should never ever do to begin with... Now all of BC requires you to pay the full amount prior to fueling. Both to prevent this, and at the time, growing incidents of gas theft. No job is worth your life. (Unless it requires you to do so.)

A collection of horrible fates with a viewer discretion warning?? NICE Please never change scary interesting. I’ve been a fan since you had about 50k subs. You’r getting better and better and perfecting your craft!

The Station fire was traumatic. I can still hear the lady screaming “let me outta here!!” when the recorder went to the back of the building. And then all of those ppl stuck at the entrance… 😢

That radium case is infuriating and there's DOZENS of cases EXACTLY like it playing out in courts today. Company denies their product is harmful and goes behind everyone's back to cover it up and pay people off. All day everyday!

4 minutes after release, the fastest i have opened one of your videos. Love the content and especially love your cave disaster videos

Visited Yellowstone last summer and while touring the hot springs and old faithful the guide told the first story, of the guy who went to after his dog in the spring and both died, to explain how hot they are…

What's crazy is that these kinds of stories are truly endless. There has been unfathomable misery throughout the ages

My grandmother had a huge fear of being buried alive by mistake. I can understand why since she grew up with plenty of stories of accidental burial. She insisted on being cremated so there was no chance of waking up underground.

The burns to over 100% of the body thing still makes me raise an eyebrow. Burned so bad his ghost had burns.

Can you imagine somebody sitting through an hour of stories they already heard before? I can imagine that....because that somebody.....is me. Love your channel bro💯

Thanks for covering short and straightforward stories. Not every story can have the same riveting details as the Tilikum incident. They often end up being new (to me) stories. I can't tell you how many times I've heard about Elisa Lam.

You know it's some heavy stuff when RU-vid has to warn you about it

Horrible fates for about an hour?! Yes please I will listen every second!

I’d normally think jumping in to save a pet is stupid but I recently got a cat and I’m very fond of her so I can understand now.

Respect to the man who tried to save his dog. Maybe it was stupid, but he no doubt had incredible loyalty to those he loved.

After seeing Black Fish, the sound of a baby Orca crying after being taken from its mother still rings in my head😢

A Scary Interesting marathon, powering me through a gym workout! YES!!

I want to express my appreciation for this video. I’ve heard a few of the stories before but you went into much more detail which answers a number of questions that I had when I first heard about some of the incidents. Great job!

In the UK, while the radium girls were working in their factories in the US, the TNT makers in the UK used the chemicals in the bombs to glow yellow as a fashion statement, they are known as the Canary girls. Every single Canary girl suffered from anemia and jaundice and all the babies they had were born yellow two. While not as catastrophic as the Radium girls, this method still had a fatality of 1 in 4 women dying; 25%.

A nice little detail in the Kirwin case, at Celestine Pool, in Yellowstone National Park: When he was pulled from the water by his friend and other visitors, his eyes had turned almost completely white, from being cooked in the volcanic heated water. He was now completely blind, as you mentioned in the above video. I was told this info by friends, who worked at Yellowstone, when this event happened. His skin did indeed slough right off when they tried to remove his boots and socks. It was not a pretty sight, from what I was told. That has to be one of the most horrible ways to perish. The pain he felt after emerging from the hot spring must have been beyond intense. I cannot even fathom how he survived as long as he did. Burns on 100 percent of his body! I only hope he was given massive amounts of Morphine and/or Fentanyl for the pain, before he perished. Definitely a horrible fate. Thank you for another excellent video, and thank you most of all, for sharing with all of us!

I really hope the first story will make people put their dogs on a leash before going near these pools! I couldn’t imagine watching my dog die miserably!!

😢❤That story about the volcanic eruption wherein the young girl was just such a little trooper throughout her entire ordeal, 😢 just made me cry for her strength. She and i were both born in 1972❤😊😊❤ making us sisters of the 1972's, a great year to be alive! The war was nearing its end. People were swingin and doing their best to be happy. This little girl , had we lived in the same area, would have been my best friend. She had a love for singing, and so did i when i was her age. She was friendly when timez got tough, and i was the same way! We both loved sodas!! 😊 But thats all. I just wanted to send out my ❤ love to an iconic video, of a dying girl, in a quaint little village, a million miles away from me.😢

This video popped up on my feed today. I’m really glad I clicked on it! Just subbed, realized I’m really late 😅 & been binge watching from the beginning. You do an awesome job telling these stories!

I don't know if it's your voice and tone or if it's the kind of stories you choose, but I love your videos. They are both relaxing workday enders and grossly fascinating stressors.

This is a perfect finish to my day:) I just landed my new job as administrative assistant today. After 3 interviews I beat out the competition! The best part is that I get my own office with an astounding view. This upload just made my day more relaxing after my ordeal and so much more enjoyable:)

In National Parks, all dogs must be a leash no longer than 6 feet. Dog owners like to disregard that rule.

I took care of John Anderson for a couple of nights at a hospital in Roswell, NM. He shared some stories and was such a polite man. He was admitted on veteran’s day of 2015 unfortunately and passed away within a day or two of that during my lunch break. He’s one of those patients who’s always stuck with me.

Your channel has become one of my favorite to watch. I've been subscribed since the beginning, and you've given us nothing but quality content. I hope your channel continues to grow so many more can experience your work.

Recently found this channel and am obsessed. Love what you do here!

I'm so glad RU-vid FINALLY recommended this channel yesterday. What a perfect length video to help watch earlier videos in a single compilation. Listening while preparing for my day.❤

Hisashi Ouchi should be on the next list (Sorry if you’ve already done a H.O video, but it is probably one of the worst ever documented deaths in human history.)

YESSSS! Another awesome video. This just made my day soo much better.

If you haven't done this yet, please do an episode dedicated to what happened to Hisashi Ouchi, the worst death that I know of.

I'll listen to these while I'm diving and I super appreciate his vivid descriptions for when there's a video. Super thoughtful

wow!!! How did I just find your channel?? Great story teller. Thank you for telling these tragic stories in a human and caring way. Binging your content right now. :)

Love everything you do 💜

I still think one of the worst fated is certain people who get wrongly convicted, and spend their whole life in prison.

Bringing dogs who naturally want to swim to Yellowstone is a next level of stupid, much less getting in the water with them

Bro you deserve a lot more followers. Been listening since the beginning and your narrating is top notch. Love the videos bro, keep it up.

My grandfather was attached to the West Virginia during WW2. Grandpa did the electrical reengineering on the West Virginia in drydock.

You know it’s gonna be a wild ride when RU-vid puts an unskippable trigger warning at the start of the video. 😏

Imagine waking up at your own funeral…. My god that is a horrific image

Thank you for being one of my very very top favorite channels & you are an amazing awesome story teller!! Thank you, Lu. 🙏✌️❤️

The story of Moosie & David gets me every time. It was a stupid thing he did, yes, but for what a sweet reason. DO NOT take your pets to Yellowstone! That picture of poor brave Omayra makes me cry every time, too. Dammit, Scary Interesting! My heart breaks for Tilikum. Kidnapped from his family as a youngster, abused by older Orcas as he grew up & then placed in the Orca equivalent of solitary confinement, he likely ended up on the Orca anti-social personality spectrum. We're lucky he only killed 3 humans at most, & he should never have continued to be forced to perform after the first death at Sea World. According to several survivors, the reason most people headed to the front entrance/exit in the Station fire is that people associated with Great White were initially ordering everyone but the bands & their entourages not to use the side entrance/exit. It still blows my mind that no one was allowed to knock back on the West Virginia's hull using Morse code & let the three trapped men know that they could hear them but that they were sorry, there was no way to help them. Seems inhumane that the military posted guards to make sure no one attempted to tell the doomed men what was going on!

15:00 I grew up in BC and I knew what you were going to talk about as soon as you mentioned it was about gas stations…I remember how annoyed adults were with having to prepay for gas but hearing the story made it make a looot of sense.

The guy and his dog is heartbreaking, people pay attention to your pets, please!

After each story I'm like god that's the worst way to go, then the next story I'm like nah that's the worst..

A 54 minute video? Oh man, you spoil us Sean!

The stories regarding Grant at the gas station; the one with the guy trapped in a wardrobe with a broken cold water pipe; Daniel Hill and the vat of Sulphuric Acid; Tilly and his 3 victims; Hitoshi and the elevator of doom; the Buried Alive;The Arizona attack, were all ones I hadn’t heard of before today, although I have heard of the attack on Pearl Harbour, I’d never heard the initial report of how it started.

Just found your channel and have been binging - this is serendipity 🖤

LOVE having ALL the stories together to listen to at once! ❤️

I just spent an hour watching the Great White concert video & it’s haunting. The worst part is when he goes to a section of the building & people are screaming for their lives, “I’m burning” & “open it,” but there’s no one in sight. They were trapped in the building with no way out. In this video, it’s at 39:45, but you can’t hear the audio. Look it up if you want to see & hear it. It’s chilling. There’s another part where a man walks out of the building literally on fire, & then you see a man still trying to pull a person out of the crushed entrance & they’re both on fire. It’s so sad!

@Scary Interesting Thank you for this video. I’ve known the story of the Radium girls for years now. But, this is the first time (at 23:29) that someone described their bones as being like a honeycomb. My sister’s bones are like that. She worked at Oak Ridge National Laboratories. They knew parts of the site were probably “hot,” but no one told her exactly which parts. I always thought he symptoms were odd. Thank you for this. You’ve given me much to think about.

This was my favorite video so far! I love the multiple stories!

Bro your vids are so good. Your story-telling skills are awesome

Tilly didn’t grab her pony tail. That was something seaworld came up with to put the blame on Dawn. Tilly was very aggressive and attacked her with purpose. He was a prisoner.

Yellowstone is one of those places I'll admire from a distance. Knowing my luck it would erupt while I am there.

I could listen to you all day and night. Love your content! ❤

Love your channel, man.. Great work! God bless
