How Does Lethal Gas Actually Work? 

“Like when Kendall Jenner solved racism by drinking Pepsi wrong” that line came outta nowhere and killed me😂

I learned more from this channel more than I learn in school...

*Say it with me: The mitocondria is the powerhouse of the cell*

I met a guy that was executed this way, he said that it wasn’t actually all that bad

This is the reality of every elevator I step into after a taco bell feast.

Why are they so concerned about a painless, humane execution. A lot or most of these prisoners didn't care about humane killing of their victims. I think a few minutes of pain is some closure for their tortured victims.

Finally infographics with a short straight to the point video.. Compared to the lengthy ones..

Plot Twist: The Lethal works like a normal Lethal

Considering what he did I can say with 100% honesty that I don't care if Jimmy Lee Grey "suffered" at all.

Firing aquad seems simple and efficient enough.

Thank you for the update, The Infographics Show..!! :)

.22 behind the ear. Cheap, effective, less mess and it will get the job done!

Why is no one talking about the sneaky Pepsi joke lol

Great video👍 keep it up

3:04- the subtitles- bro it killed me-

How does lethal gas work? Well, I eat food with lots of onion & garlic in it, with some other choice ingredients, and then nature takes its' natural course out of my rear... :P

They've approved nitrogen for execution in 3 States in the US., and they're working out the kinks in how to carry it out. I think I read that some inmates in Alabama are already requesting that method of execution. They apparently still offer the gas chamber in my State. I don't care how one's executed as long as they are. I don't like the fact that many inmates are being housed and fed by tax payers' dollars, either because of life sentences in the US, or because they sit on death row for decades, repeatedly appealing due to bogus reasons. Their victims didn't have a chance to appeal to their perpetrators before their lives were taken. A relative of mine told me that her belief is that someone should be put to death in the same manner in which they killed. That may not be a bad idea to let the murderer know what the victim was put through. It's good to be able to forgive the murderer, but it shouldn't change the fact that they should reap the consequences of their actions...and, in my view, that being the death penalty.

@InfoGraphics Why is this legal still?

I don't have much sympathy for a murderer who suffers during execution. I have far more sympathy for the murderer's victims. So if a cold blooded killer feels pain in his last moments of life, maybe that's just an extra dose of justice.

It should be painful. It's a punishment.

I don't understand why they don't put them to sleep first

The use of nitrogen would be you could say humane. Plenty of people died when they have entered into nitrogen rich areas on chemical sites or hazardous area’s in vessels. Nitrogen narcosis I think is the term is used for it.

I love you Infografic show

Your mouth animation for screaming is so funni

I mean who cares how much it hurts they should feel the most pain possible

A post from infographic make my day fantastic😂

I realize this is being picky, but it's Caryll (as in CAROL) Chessman. Actually, a fascinating story. He was a direct desendant of John Greenleaf Whittier.

Let's go back to the ole firing squad method seemed to work pretty well back in the day

There’s nothing human about killing a person.

They do not pump gas into a chamber there is a bowl of water that is sitting underneath the chair that the condemned is sitting on and above that bowl there’s a little baggie of hydrogen cyanide tablets that when the Guard pulls a string The bag will drop into the water and the tablets will start to dissolve and the colored gas which is greenish yellow will start to appear in the condemned can either hold their breath for as long as they can and when they can’t hold her breath anymore they have to breathe in the hydrogen cyanide which will cause breathing to stop.

I could easily make a dark joke from that title

They should have used Zyklon-B.

I see I came early enough to see everybody Liked their own comments...well when in Rome 🤷🏿‍♂️

I'm so glad I don't live in Maryland anymore.

They could use 100% nitrogen air concentration, it is painless and they’ll pass out without knowing that they will do it that moment. Then after a few minutes, they die.

Can you make a video on how the Medci family got rich for the time line its in michelangelo's time

I keep having panic attacks bc I think, one day I will die and I am turning into nothingness and obviously going away forever. makes me sick to my stomach and its hard to explain. but I still watch stuff like this lol

I kinda like the fact they go on pain

just do all of them at the same time

The whoosh sound affects though

I still don't understand why an execution has to be painless, if they're being executed, then they likely deserved the brief pain anyways

they should just inject a morphium overdose instead. Idk about the quick part, but it certainly is painless. Since Morphium is basically a painkiller.

I think they should use negative pressure

Why doesn’t the Kim regime in North Korea use it?

I wonder if the victims of those serial killers had a not violent death.

1:32 to the point of the topic

So why do we care about humane death for someone who killed Innocent people in a heinous way

Maryland ? Better fact check that lol. Hasn’t had the death penalty for well Over a decade, approaching 2.

Props to the info graphics show staff that are able to do this as a job and produce such entertaining and non-clickbaity content so quickly

Walter LeGrand was eligible for lethal injection. He chose lethal gas. The Arizona law stated that all those sentenced to death after 1992 would be executed via lethal injection, but all those sentenced prior had a choice.

Well. Let's find out

“How does lethal gas work?” Well well well.... let’s find out!

since lethal gas is still legal in some states, if i was on death row i would choose it because it's more expensive than the other methods and i'm petty

Just use a firing squad no worrying about biology and it works every time while not needing any special items and it is cheap and quick

Executioner: shake your head of it's pain Prisoners: *Shaking heads franticly* Executioner: yeah im gonna pretend I didn't see that Edit: 105 likes, wow, never gotten more than 5. Glad you liked it :)

It's disturbing to think about consciously taking a part in your own death by deeply breathing in poisoness gasses. Most hold their breath for as long as they can hoping to stave off their impending doom in a situation where they are struggling to accept that they no longer have power over the end result.

"Ensuring a speedy and painless death" Speedy, yes. But Holocaust historians would strongly disagree about the "painless" part.

If you did it correctly then hanging is very humane, Albert Pierpoint took 7seconds from the time of walking the condemned into the gallows to the time of death. (Time of trapdoor drop) he had a 0% botch rate.

"""""Congrats to everyone who is early and found this comment""""""

Anyone who thinks frickin' cyanide poisoning is "quick and painless" has never even read the wiki article 😒

You know.. I can create “gas” anytime I want. It’s horrible

I wish infographics explained why i can't sleep at night

3:35 mitochondria of the living c-cell? (inhales) *the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell*

I once binged this channel for like 8 hours. this channel is so amazing

*Is that the guy from "A Clockwork Orange" on the thumbnail?*

A room where the condemned are strapped to a chair with a gun like device in the wall that shoots a series of pellets through the most critical parts of the brain through the back of the skull would be the most pain free method.

Can’t go wrong with a firing squad

Every time I hear the phrase "humane execution" I always ask myself "for whom?". It often seem like it is for the executioner so he will not feel bad or get sick.

My great grandmother died last summer and cleaning out her stuff we found a photo of the public hanging of a black man my grandpa took in the 30s. He kept with him his whole life to remember how horrible it was and to try to progress and not fall into the racist mentality that was pushed on people back then. It’s a really scary/ sad photo.

Another thing to note, just because someone is unconcious doesn't necessarily mean they don't feel pain. There are different levels of unconsciousness. Sometimes they are unaware of anything going on, as it should be. But sometimes they are just unable to show or tell anyone their pain.

I think a very humane method of execution would be to consistently feed the prisioners salty and greasy foods over the course of a few decades while preventing them from practicing regular exercise... within a few years high blood pressure and cholestherol would do their job and the prisioner would have a rather peaceful and natural death and nobody else would have to carry the guilt of killing another person

"The question i shall ask, not you."

Why not just strap the guy to a chair have a gun setup and just pull a lever and you could make it like a firing squad where there is 5 levers but only one works

*The german empire has entered the chat

Why does execution need to be humane? They were sentenced to death for some inhuman act. Humans are hypocrites.

That Pepsi joke was ruthless 💀💀💀

"What kind of compounds!?" "Nova 6, a chemical weapon- Danmit you lead them right to me!"

The new execution style should be flashing the human body with the surface of the temperature in just milliseconds no fuss no muss just some quick Ash cleanup

Please for the love of all that is holy.. STOP POSTING INTERESTING TOPICS RIGHT BEFORE I FALL ASLEEP!

Why not use laughing gas, that displaces oxygen and it would work quickly

"Now does lethal gas work?" Well first...you have to eat a lot of burritos from Taco Bell...😋

what we need to do is bring back the death penalty in every state

Murders should get the same death as their victims. They didn’t get any humanitarian treatment when murdered.

there is a doco on this, apparently hypoxia is the best way

Great fun for all the family!🤪😝

We are talking about killers, rapists, etc who cares if their well deserved deaths are painful or not?

Actually I am pretty sure that as long as the lungs are not breathing in carbon dioxide you will not react and it will not be pain full

Not sure exactly how instantly it kills, but what about a heart shot? Skilled marksman, (not like the shooter will be far away either) reliable, suppressed weapon, victim restrained to the point they can't move their torso. Also, no visible damage during funeral/wake

Since we did discovered of you Vs Gordon Freeman video. Why not do the You and the Resistance Vs the combine.

Well for certain crimes, I think inhumane might just be justified. Not everyone should be punished by just going to sleep, like child molesters, make them suffer!

You Americans didn't know how to hang people, in the UK we had a scientific book on the weight of the prisoner, versus the length of the rope and the length of the drop. There are texts books on it that executioners used, that were published for their use.

I remember a movie about this old man in Russia that was very depraved. He got the death penalty. Not too long after, an official came into this cell and shot the guy in the head. It was quick and it was over quick. Can't remember who it was based on.

Lethal gas usually starts with a plate of deviled eggs, broccoli casserole and three-bean salad...

Curious as to why these people were executed. Before feeling sorry for them, I would like to know what they did. Notice there is nothing about that in the video.

It's amazing how resilient or fragile the body can be.

It depends on the lethal injection. Nobody survives a massive amount of potassium for more than a minute.

shame Richard Ramirez never got this

To put the words humane and execution next to each other is just perverse. The death penalty in itself is inhumane and uncivilized.

Gary Gilmore was executed by firing squad in 1977. He chose the method of execution and fought to have it done. Check it out.

Wait..why give them pain free death...arent they being punished?
