Too many ads 🖕

We love ❤️ your videos I wish you could make more but, we understand why you don’t 😢

I was thinking the same thing, I’d rather duck and cover. I also don’t blame the girlfriend for not coming forward and talking about it more; who would want to be harassed or speak publicly about your tragically deceased loved one? And if she wanted to keep working in the field she probably felt like she couldn’t demand an investigation.

@@nfraehlich What about his family? No relatives? If this happened in "back on civilized land", they would sue.

Came to comment this, I will delete my comment since you have it laid out well here.

Considering the amount of cover-up and secretism in this particular line of work, it's no wonder only a few came forward or said anything at all. They were likely scared that the same could happen to them. Fear has a great way of silencing people.

@@nfraehlich The wife/fiance isn't coming forward, because she most likely poisoned the guy. If I really love my spouse, and if my spouse were a victim of an unsolved murder I will NEVER get over the death. It has been said that people deal with a death of a loved one differently, but it is also human nature to be anxious to uncertainty. Whenever there is an unsolved death or death due to unclear/mysterious circumstances in the family, people generally carry that for the rest of their lives, and continue to express their anxiety one form or another. This is why people are generally able to eventually move on from deaths due to natural causes or accidents, but people have trouble moving on from deaths due to unclear circumstances. If the wife/fiance is able to move on, it is because she knows what happened and in her mind it has been 'solved' As to what makes her my number #1 suspect, here are my reasons: -She was the last person the victim was with when the victim started to complain his symptoms -She had spent the most time and had most contact with the victim. Out of all the crew members, she had the most knowledge on the victim's routine and habits, and with such knowledge she would have been able to work out how to get the victim to ingest the poison. For example, if the victim kept liquor bottles in in his room, the fiance would have had the best access to them to be able to contaminate them with methanol, and she would have been able to remove the evidence after the crime. Remember that methanol poisoning was only worked out after the toxicology was carried out when the body was transferred to NZ for autopsy. The fiance most likely had access to the victim's belongings including any liquor bottles the victim may have kept in his room. -Female murderers are more likely to use poisoning as a method of choice especially against a male victim since it allows them to avoid the risks of physical confrontation. -If the victim had some kind of a conflict with other members, it most likely would have been known to all the crew members. However, the victim's conflict with his wife/fiance may not have been well known to everyone else especially if both kept the matter to themselves. Unless the culprit confesses, I'd say the case will remain unsolved and we will never know. If I have to bet based on my reasoning of the available information, it will be the wife/fiance

Ikr Im not a Dr but i dont think you have to be one to say that doesn't make sense

Can confirm. Most people don’t know the difference between Covid kid anxiety and real anxiety that makes life not worth living.

Seriously, as soon as I heard he was dizzy and his visions was blurring and he was having trouble breathing, I immediately thought poisoning of some sort. How the hell did the doctor think it was ANXIETY? 🙄

@@dackbowland1876 exactly!!!

@@dackbowland1876 the kind of anxiety that makes you puke blood and go blind? Yeah that's uh pretty rough but im assuming pretty rare.

"Fair enough man, I'd stab me too"

So what really going on In Antartica?

Apply for a job here and find out yourself. Trades, equipment operators, firefighters, scientists, cooks, stewards. Some companies that offer contracts to work in Antarctica-Amentum, Leidos, GSC, NSF, NASA, Parsons and many more. Contracts typically last 4-8 months, but a much smaller portion of people winter over like I did. If you expect a flat earth and underground UFO bases you’ll be disappointed.

@user-mp2ry9sn3m Have you seen the movie The Thing??? So no .... I wouldn't apply for a job in the antarctic 😅

Yeah, I'm very angry at the doctor, and even more so that the station itself REFUSED to cooperate with authorities on the mainland. I get the feeling that they don't exactly send the best and brightest medical staff to such a remote location.

If you're piss drunk, methanol is pretty safe as it won't get digested. Ethanol is the antidote to methanol.

​@@antiwoke884 great theory dude we should send you down there to crack the case

​@@vadhub Its as good a theory as any other... 😏

@@vadhub lt would remain unsolved.

Yeah. This is probably the source of the methanol poisoning, if I had to guess - too many terribly distilled beverages. Methanol exists in smaller quantities in fermented alcohols which, if one distills into a spirit, can concentrate into a potentially hazardous drink if the distiller doesn't know what they are doing. I had a friend who once made an enriched apple wine with Champaign yeast that hit above 20% ABV. We distilled that down and found half of the volume of the evaporated product was in the category of "do not drink this". Needless to say, the apple wine, by itself, induced paralyzing hangovers after a single pint... but boy were those parties wild.

Never trust the russians!

Ah they should've known better lmao

Funny they had supply of alcohol to begin with. I guess they were waiting for someone to stop by.

@@klin1klinom Why? You assume the Australians needed company to justify drinking their alcohol?

@@willdunn8846 quite. & It operated at that level of granulation, it is said.

In general, isolation goes with drug abuse. It's a (maladaptive yet) natural way to pass the time. I wouldn't be surprised if the lack of responses to the questionnaire and lack of interviews from the fiancee were because they all knew they were doing shady shit like trying to homebrew and that the victim was a particularly indulgent participant in such. Combine what with the nsf and Raytheon being scared about liability and the shadiness makes a ton of contextual sense

I was on ice australmsummer 98/99. Drinking is definetly the national sport. Probably a good thing as it helps blow off steam. And God bless the day bar!

They need a Nintendo Wii.

I am surprised you people have alcohool there. It's so expensive to transport stuff to Antarctica i am surprised they even send you so much to drink. It should be ilegal to drink in a place where you are expected to function and be aweare. It says a lot about what people actually do there: Nothing! Money out the window. Sending people in Antarctica and on the space station should stop. You guys do nothing there. Drink and pretend to work for " humanity "

​@@subjekt5577they didn't have to homebrew, probably had excess of ethanol when they had methanol there aswell. Probably mislabeled or didn't label some bottles and that was that. Or some similiar accident. Maybe no protective equipment whilst working with large quantities of methanol or something like that. Many ways to have accidents. The organizations responsible then had to claim it was not accidental or criminal for liability reasons or something.

Just like being at school by the sounds of things.

@@murrijuana2842 same thing yeah. Public school in shitty areas. I grew up with Neo Nazis as an Asian. Weird. Awkward.

@@AzubraelIt’s 1000% the gf, poisoning is very common among spousal murder when it’s female on male.

I remember a guy who drunk battery acid by mistake because they were in the same container. What is weird, that the same guy after few months swallowed the wasp which entered into beer bottle and wasp stung him into pharynx. We made to hospital in time.

I remember I know one guy name Igor friend of mine. He drank fourteen litres vodka and he went outside in snow storm and fall down drunk. We find him next day frozen to Street. We have make some kind of tool to remove him from Street frozen. Is very funny because only it took him fourteen liters 😆 he very weak man. But him mine good friend Igor so we only remind him from time to time.

Yeah but he'd know he'd drank it, it would be unmistakable and he'd obviously associate that with the fact he was vomiting blood.

Things like SA should never be at such a high rate of occurrence. Usually men very rarely admit SA among women is a problem, so when 76% of women AND 50% of men admit it's a big issue, then you know it's a problem.

And those are only the population we KNOW about.

Had this topic on my mind actually, after just listening to Conan's podcast with a fan who went there a few times and planned on going back. She talked about how much sleeping around happened and generally was positive with her retelling, but it got me thinking how far off my idea of what its like really was. Her descriptor of "basically college dorming but with fully formed adults" stuck with me

@@chrisparkhurst5158 give an immortal monkey a typewriter and it’ll eventually write the works of shakespeare, given it has infinite time to do so.

Swedish homeless alcoholics used to take a sip of methanol before visiting the local ER just to get ethanol treatment. I'm sure they still do, but I haven't heard of it in years.

Yeah methanol poisoning is a strange one, I saw a case when I was shadowing Resus A&E consultant in the UK for a week, we hung pure ethanol as a drip for this guy running at a pretty fast rate. He was intubated and sedated too though, as the levels of alcohol would cause danger of losing his airway if not put under and on anti-emetics.

This is the official cure used by ambulance crews.

@@Hjaelteomslag That's quite clever.

Even seen this done with a kitten that sipped some cleaner. A little vodka per syringe without needle, straight in the mouth, in accordance with the vet. There, cat is now temporarily drunk instead of permanently blind/dead.

Fun fact. NASA sends people to the arctic for training in isolated situations.

Unfortunately, its likely to be inevitable.

Thank you

This is awesome. If you have sources to share I'd love to adopt them in my own circles

@@subjekt5577 Look for studies in perceived social isolation. I borrowed the corpus of my ideas from the work of my online namesake, John Caccioppo. He wrote a book called "loneliness" that was a bestseller, quite an accomplishment for a topic nobody wants to think about! I did a lot of armchair psychology after reading his research, interpolating the ideas I described above, drawing relationships between isolation and aggression, experimenting with oxytocin and a lot of online and real-life experiments as well. It's something I think everyone should be consciously doing. We need to be taking responsibility for our own mental health and not leaving our problems in the hands of professionals that may never arrive or who fail to possess the ability to perform to the level we need.

damn man, great writing. I have spent the last few years alone (well a lot of my life on and off) and I can relate to what you wrote. I know I will spend the rest of my life unloved, unwanted and lonely.

Very good point.

Also possible neglect of safety measures that lead to him being poisoned in the first place, like not wearing protective gear when handling methanol, or mislabeling alcohol bottels or even unlabeled bottels.

in other words.. hiring someone with 0 testing to see if they could do the job, then hiding it. I hate my country's government, and the Chinese Government, and every other government on this earth. If there's a good one, I haven't heard of it.

Raytheon is known to participate in top secret activities going on in Antarctica, that is probably why they were hesitant to disclose who was working etc.

honestly i think the dr holds some responsibility for his death, because "anxiety" is not a rational diagnosis when the symptoms include vomiting blood, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, and tachycardia

@@coledodge7675 If he was already drunk, it’s a possibility, owning to the fact that methanol and ethanol taste very similar

@@coledodge7675 depends on the dilution. ex.: 90% ethanol and 10% methanol wouldn't taste that bad. and if he was already intoxicated, even less...

​​​@@coledodge7675If someone's already blackout drunk? Most likely. Which is what may have happened. Dude took up the bottle, during a drunk moment chugged down the wrong bottle, and nobody want to speak of it to avoid making publicly known that the dude had issues with alcoholis, out of respect of him and to prevent soiling his pristine image. There is one story of some dudes trying to kill some old elderly dude to get his insurance money, they gave him methanol to drink, and he had no issues with it (and even *survived* it, somehow).

​@@FunnyStripes if 13 people came out to defend him and risk their career and say how good he was theres no way nobody out of the entirety of 49 people would stay silent if he was a heavy drinker. I also have hard time believing he would chug over 150!!! ml of methanol without straight up puking or dying before he could regain conciousness multiple times and get to the doctor, mentioned multiple needle marks also could be a sign he was injected multiple times with smaller doses. His fiancee was most likely resposnible for that since she refused to comment and worked with these chemicals all the time and also returned to work.

@@alaskansummertime that makes sense. I appreciate you responding in kind without treating me like I'm an idiot like many do here

I've wondered about this a lot over the years. Living in Alaska and being one of the most socially isolated people I know for a variety of reasons I took responsibility to study the phenomenon and really understand it. It's about what the mind does when we are lonely. Everything becomes dark and negative. Every interaction is a snub or a rejection, even when unintended by others. We become hypersensitive and desperate and strive constantly to hide our paranoia and discomfort. It is the strongest human instinct I have studied and it explains every kind of strange social dysfunction from cult indoctrination to fear of public speaking and political polarization. Because every issue feeds every other issue in the mind of the subject of chronic isolation or rejection dysphoria it's a hellish downward spiral. I found that studying these things helped me to fight back against my perceptions, to change my behavior in many ways and to be more sensitive to the needs of others. But when you are looking at a larger society that is having more and more issues like this due to economic disparities we really need to be looking at a better way to view our roles in society and upgrade our expectations from those who make the decisions that influence us to become more competitive, selfish and less focused on compassion.

I’ve had similar issues with doctors not being able to find needles. One time, the nurse taking my blood was experienced in taking blood from addicts. Even my weak ass veins were easy to find for her! Best blood draw of my life

Except that many people can’t keep a secret.

Haloperidol/Haldol can be administered IM or IV, but most likely it was administered IV for an immediate onset. By the way, early manifestations of methanol poisoning are nonspecific, which makes it difficult to diagnose especially when the patient is unaware that he had been poisoned and thus cannot provide an exposure history. In a hospital ER setting, the attending (or whoever is in charge) physician would order a bunch of blood tests to work out what is going on, and that should catch methanol poisoning even when the patient is unaware of what he was exposed to. If I were to speculate on what occurred, the doctor at the station likely never expected methanol poisoning to occur there, and he did what he could to treat the symptom. Either way, the high level of methanol in his system suggests that he was most likely murdered by intentional poisoning. We cannot be certain why some did not respond to the survey, but if there was a criminal conspiracy, I don't think it involved more than two people since, as @jameskari1786 put, it is hard for that many people to keep a secret indefinitely, and someone is bound to talk (out of guilt or inadvertently). My number #1 suspect would be the wife/fiance for the following reasons: -She was the last person the victim was with when the victim initially complained of his symptoms -She had spent the most time and had most contact with the victim. Out of all the crew members, she had the most knowledge on the victim's routine and habits, and with such knowledge she would have been able to work out how to get the victim to ingest the poison. For example, if the victim kept liquor bottles in in his room, the fiance would have had the best access to them to be able to contaminate them with methanol, and she would have been able to remove the evidence after the crime. Remember that methanol poisoning was only worked out after the toxicology was carried out when the body was transferred to NZ for autopsy. The fiance most likely had access to the victim's belongings including any liquor bottles the victim may have kept in his room. -Female murderers are more likely to use poisoning as a method of choice especially against a male victim since it allows them to avoid the risks of physical confrontation. -If the victim had some kind of a conflict with other members, it most likely would have been known to all the crew members. However, the victim's conflict with his wife/fiance may not have been well known to everyone else especially if both kept the matter to themselves. Unless the culprit confesses, I'd say the case will remain unsolved and we will never know. If I have to bet based on my reasoning of the available information, it will be the wife/fiance.

nah, not every alcoholic knows you cant drink rubbing alcohol. we're talking about a kid back in 2000. I was about his age then and I didnt know that. The Dr could be involved but without a motive, its not near as likely as accidental ingestion or injection

probably was the doctor, Rodney and the rest were to educated to dont know that rubbing alcohol can't be drink, any adult with that level of preparation can assume that u cant drink it. The doctor was incompetent and indifferent in a situation were u cant have extra backup nor help in any way. I dont think he needed a motive beyond been a killer and havin the total free to do so. Even more, we can even speculate that he could have other ppl in the known, maybe more ppl was involved. After all, Barely show us the evidence (that we really didnt need bc please look the world) that at the very first moment men (not women, but men) can live without repercutions the first thing they do is r*aping constantly. So a killing group? i woundt be surprise

I had to take AA once as part of an expungement program. One of the craziest experiences of my life. I was the last person that needed to be sitting in the room with these people, but it was court ordered. Long story short, these people talked about every way to take every kind of drug in the world. However what was most surprising, was the number of them that said they would start drinking rubbing alcohol on Sundays, or if they just didnt have enough money for alcohol. So after hearing those stories, and knowing the isolation they were in. I wonder if he wasnt just sipping it to get more fucked up?

Methanol is not rubbing alcohol. Thats isopropyl

I feel like his videos are more informative than most.

But you know, it is not TV. You can watch it later.

I heard Kurt Russell was there, and when he got back he decided to pretend to be other people.

Yeah, the whole THING seems fishy🤔

Can you post where to find more info?I'm trying to search about this but Google search results don't turn up anything relevant.

Exactly- plus the majority of people sent to space are military, or have a military background. The closest to being in space would actually be duty onboard a nuclear submarine. Some of the same psychological factors are used to determine eligibility for both.

@@dongately2817 there's still a LOT of ignored assault in the military

Well, we definitely know of one astronaut that went psycho, but that wasn't until she was back on Terra firma... That being said, being stuck in a cold dark tuna can for months is crazy enough. Being required to workout in zero G for hours a day just to maintain muscle mass is crazy enough... Having to do monotonous tasks repeatedly daily for science experiments and research is crazy enough... Being LEGIT crazy on top of that? Powder keg.

The numbers of people present would be a big difference. The International Space Station has a crew of 7, while the McMurdo Station winter skeleton crew is more like 150. With a crew of 7, it's easier to be carefully selective about who you send, and how they're trained, and I would guess the environment feels as though there is more direct accountability, and less ability to get away with anything. 150 is a crowd in which some people might think they could blend. It's also a much larger number for statistical purposes. If there's a given percentage chance that a person will be likely to commit an assault, there may be a good chance that a group of 7 will contain no such people, while a group of 150 may contain multiple. And that's not even touching the idea that it's easier to prevent information from leaking out of smaller groups of people.

Hang in there, friend. Don't lose hope.

Wishing you the best, mate. I'm in sort of a similar situation, but taking steps every day towards going back out. Not always easy to move forward, but it's been good for me to, at least, be aiming for it. Don't give up, man.

A pity that there wasn't screening to prevent him going there, certainly for a long stint. Those sound like major risk factors to me. The Tourettes alone would potentially be very aggravating to others and in turn increase his stressed attempts to control it

You should reconsider. It's been one of my greatest joys in life despite all of the stressors. Getting ready for my 4th season this year.

@@ErorCode1337 Interesting, what about this video? Is it sensationalised, product of the time, or are there problems?

I'm a layman, so I'm genuinely curious: what about those victims of methanol moonshine in Southeast Asia then? If it's not a matter of quality control, do people with bad intentions deliberately put methanol in alcaholic beverages?

@@Neomalthusiano unfortunately, yes. If someone gets methanol poisoning from moonshine, it's been poisoned (added from some other source).

@@joshuagoodsell9330 so what's the risk of the alcohol produced in the beginning and the ending of the process? I heard from several sources that it's needed to cut the head and the tail of the distilled alcohol. Why that, it's other harmful byproduct?

@@Neomalthusiano the risk is product that tastes like crap and gives you a hangover lol. If you've ever had bottom shelf vodka or rum, that's kinda what heads smells like. Tails makes the product taste grungy like wet cardboard. Either heads or tails will contribute to a hangover. Although if you're making an apple brandy, you need some heads in there to make it actually taste like apples. So it's mostly a flavor decision, and that's where the art side of things comes in.

@@joshuagoodsell9330 thanks for taking your time to explain it to me.

or today's urban life.

I worked in Antarctica during this time (2000,McMurdo STation) and even though alcohol is abundant, the more hard core cats had their own stills it was VERY common. Take into account this guy was at South Pole , they are even more extreme. I'm sure this fellow had his own still and blindly took a sip from the wrong cup one drunken evening.

@@rossdawgsbrokenspirit9038Probably the most likely. If I can ask what did you do there and what was your time there like?

@@jaredwilliams2357 I did IT support. And I think someone accurately described it as a college experience but with adults of all ages from all over the US. A good bit of seasonal workers from Alaska as I recall. There are a majority of people from extreme ends of both political spectrums. A ton of militia nuts and an equal number of antifa nuts. The program seemed to attract them. There is a HUGE drinking culture although I was not aware of any SA but im a dude. In the early 2000s there was barely any females there and they received a ton of attention. You would walk into the bar and youd see a circle of dudes and youd know somewhere in the middle is a female being shotgunned with attention. When we landed back in NZ after a season at McMurdo I overheard a girl say : 'well ladies we're ugly again!'
