The Incredible Survival Story Scientists Can't Explain 

No

no KEKW

Hard pass. Especially how obnoxious that ad and its placement was.

I’m female and I want to be the first female knight. Since knights were supposed to protect their charge,they had to be celebate. It shouldn’t matter if I’m female. I’m old but I can still be protective.

AMAZING✝️STORY

I have a feeling you'd have tried too;) We really are at our best during seemingly impossible situations...

a real bro

​@@BCTGuitarPlayer sadly people die every day because the people they were surrounded by "didn't" 🤷. Respect to the people that try!!

Ex heavy industry spark here, In shituations like this our mandated gobshite safety and first aid programming kicks in much as we hate it it saves lives. ABC. airway breathing circulation continue cpr till emt arrives stop blood gushers and shock

@@takotako808 Indeed, far too many don't even try because they've given up before they've even started. So definite respect for the guy that tried 31 minutes later.

That's incredible

He's a s$it tonn braver than I am!

Wow, wow, wow, and holy s#it!

Awesome. You guys are the real world heroes. Thank you for what you do!

I would love to pick his brain about what his last thoughts were when he thought this was the end and if God had anything to do with it in his opinion.

wait what? you aren't dead until you are WARM and dead?

Yes- you can look up the Jean Hilliard story as well. Basically, cold temps slow metabolic processes. So in emergency medicine, we continue CPR and running the “code blue” until a person is back to normal body temperature.

Interesting, can you explain how the body heats up to normal temperatures if there is no biochemical activity, heart beat and so on? Will the body start to warm up anyway as long as you induce artificial breathing and cpr? That sounds like it wouldn't do much at all, perhaps you artificially start to warm up the body with heat blankets? Do you have to take some steps to make sure you heat up the body both from the outside and the inside at the same rate? Warm infusions of some kind? Very interesting topic! Thanks :D@@jessicahatala4040

@@jessicahatala4040 does that have any relation to when people are getting incredible cold there weirdly strip naked because they are weirdly hot

Thank u for the work you do! I too survived a drowning incident (put into a self driving conversion van driving to a lake to be murdered by human traffickers) and was dead & blue, but the emts didn’t give up on me. They suctioned my lungs and used warming blankets with cpr. There is footage and you can see them breaking my stiff arms open to do cpr. 🫡🇺🇸

I know!

AI generated text lol.

What does this mean?

people have survived being frozen for hours

I imagine he was skip breathing too and MAYBE had air for slightly longer than 5 minutes but not more than 10

@@ChickenPermissionOG Indeed, but he didn't go down that low. 7°C is more like being in a refrigerator, which is still very good at preventing tissue from necrotizing. And since the head is where you will lose a lot of your body heat, the fairly quick cooling of his head could prevent brain tissue death for some time. And as said before, his physical condition could also allow him to last longer with less oxygen. This is in part because a more physically active person has more mitochondria in their cells. Another aspect is the better condition of their circulatory system. What is truly interesting to me is that his body started again upon the introduction of fresh oxygen into his lungs. Chest compressions weren't mentioned at all. Just two breaths. That would imply his nervous system kicked everything back into gear simply because the lungs signaled "Hey! We have air!" That's amazing in and of itself.

Yeah I definitely agree that the most likely scenario of how he lived and his friend still giving him cpr to try to get him to breath again anyways as for no brain damage it’s probably cuz his lung had an extra supply of oxygen from the living conditions he was in so it was quite 100% out of air yet when they found him

The near freezing temps slowed the brains metabolism, Surgeons use it in some operations to protect the brain.@@Kekeliz

Do guys ever hit on you while they are in the back of the ambulance?

its a cartoon.. why would this bother you?

@@zackwaffen9210 bro after chris got stuck They showed like 5 seconds of the real footage. Think u skipped some parts

@@zackwaffen9210 awww sweetie, you haven’t watched the video have you?

@@dickjohnson7547 rarely, but it happens. I’m not in the USA, so as a general rule, if you’re in the back of an ambulance here, you’re actually sick.

I just googled how much these guys get paid. Extremely well indeed but I'm not surprised

hello extrovert

I agree but also to not be permanently traumatized and suffer ptsd some people are just made of different stuff

this was insane but nothing made me as claustrophobic as the video of the snowboarder rescuing a man who fell into a tree well headfirst and couldnt move. its hard to even type this omg. 😢

they are real heroes with steel balls, is just beyond my imagination how brave they are.

Cave divers and people who squeeze into unexplored cave passages are completely mental LoL.

"You're only dead when you're warm AND dead" - the new protocol, I think

The doctor would've declared that someone dead as well, I reckon.

That’s smart.

Who they? How many people died?

The person would have been brain dead anyway so cares

I'm so curious how much money y'all get paid to get people interested in pursuing such an extreme career?

True, how much money do y'all get paid?

You mean nothing LESS than a miracle! But sure this job is not for everyone!

@@JonnyHavens That was the first thing I googled while watching the video. According to my search, not that much..

Depends what your doing down there when welding in a bubble is probably one of the highest paid plus u get paid the whole time u decompress that’s were the easy money is

I think very few make over $200K a year. Which Def isn’t nothing, but not worth it to most. They’re also usually the type of lads to bring rolls to the bar and spend it easily hahaha , living life one day at a time. It’s for sure a young man’s game.

@@ghostpiratelechuck2259 whatever they make it’s sure not enough in my eyes!!!

@@KevinM88TR11 Rightfully so lol. Whole different ballgame. Grandmas and children go skydiving very regularly. Sat-diving is significantly more extreme than being an astronaut, in many aspects. They don’t get paid enough imo.

@@KevinM88TR11 is that 20k averaged out? Or that’s what they make on a 30-day op? Cuz I know they have to take three months off in between each contract.

_"An amazing job those boys have!"_ - sorry to burst your bubble (pun not intended), but they have an AWFUL job - it's the pay check that is pretty handsome, indeed. How handsome? Well, that depends how you look at it; for some the bottle is half full, for others it's half empty. Back in the nineties, if I remember well, they were paid as much as £90 per hour (in '90's money!), but it wasn't like "five days a week, 50 weeks a year" - it was "from contract to contract", where that "in between/ meantime" could be months. or even half a year. I happened to know/ meet two such guys in my line of work back in the '90s, in Singapore - both of them were well above forty, maybe even over 50, can't remember now, and none of them was exceedingly rich - to the point that they both sort of "moonlighted" in a kind of international trade that wasn't 100% legit, if you get my drift. No, nothing serious, no drugs, guns or "live merchandise" - still, kinda on shadowy side, with a decent money to be made, but hardly a fortune - and with a quite real risk attached to it, the risk of being sent onto long holidays into one of those "resorts" regular tourist don't usually visit, unless they fall foul of local laws. So, this is my twopence on the subject, and about that "carpe diem" attitude of those folks? Well, if you do a job like that, any day of your job may be the last one (of both your job and your life), so yes, you gotta relieve the stress somehow, and since "no drinking on contract", then, once you're left off the leash.... Especially that a) you got a lot of the "easy" dough at your disposal, and b), more often than not you don't have any family to take care of, and c) finding the "female companion" in all sort of bars in exotic places with that much stash is just as difficult as finding a needle in a needle-stack. So yes, carpe diem, and considering that - usually - they are not the brightest minds of their generation, "eat, drink and be messy" for many of those is the idea of "having a good time". Speaking of "brightness"... Some time ago I came across some paper suggesting that despite all those prolonged decompression procedures and precautions some tiny "air" bubbles still do/ may appear in the bloodstream and body tissue(s), and while they are generally harmless they may block, locally, capillary vessels long enough for the nearby cells to die of oxygen starvation. Which again is "no biggie", cells can grow back, except... Uhm, yeah. The brain. ;-) So, with prolonged and FREQUENTLY REPEATED exposure to this phenomenon, becoming "older but wiser" is not necessarily the greatest occupational hazard of this profession, the conclusion read. But yes, for someone not really being able of (or interested in) becoming a rocket surgeon to start with this kind of job will give way more money than a bricklayer or truck driver job, and it is still safer than being a soldier of (mis)fortune.

I cant imagine the mindset and brass balls a man needs to have to do that job.

He is a fantastic Story Teller!

He's no Mr Ballen lol, But he is pretty good

In the documentary Duncan prayed for Chris .

That’s the best part about Thoughty2!

When life gives you Chris Lemons, give Chris Lemons aid.

His guardian angel really did a good job 😊

Alittle bit of luck is earned after a lifetime of training

Same here! And his name is Arran?? That's new information for me! Been watching this channel for years, and never knew this guy's name.

That's too funny. I always tell my dad the same thing, that he is a cornucopias of useless interesting knowledge that nobody asked know 😂

@@mikespearwood3914his name is in his RU-vid channel description lol. And in all the video descriptions I believe.

I'd agree with you if there wasn't so many discrepancies from the original story.

Fr Best explanation

There’s a Netflix doc about his story last breath it’s called I believe very gripping

Yeah I remember watching thinking there is not a chance in hell this guy survives. And even after you find out he lived I was just like no fuckin way. If it hadn't been documented I would have a hard time believing this story honestly.

It’s called last breath. Hell of a watch

Still gives me chills thinking about it! Definitely worth watching.

@@Sh4tterdL0g1cyou are Da’man!! (Or. Woman, or whatever you identify as) thank you so much! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@qjuantum lol I’m a dude but hell yea bro hope you enjoy!

Cheers Chris! 😀

I'm so happy your story of survival had a good ending chris❤

Speak of the devil ❤

I was thinking the same thing. He said the temperature down there was only 4 degrees.

Hahaha i was about to say that

It is not the cold that surprises in this story, but the depth. Sixty fathoms is three hundred feet.

Yes, he really is the perfect narrator.

The fact that he was able to go back there after what happened... Makes me wonder what other unusual things he might've done in other situations, stuff that didn't reach the media. Surely he lives his life so fiercely. He sounds incredible.

@@zoyadulzura7490 Agreed. He's an amazing human being for sure.

@@zoyadulzura7490 or lost braincells completely.. pretty stupid to go back to it when he should have got compensation as it wasn't his fault. Get a massive pay out and never work that shit job again. Sounds awful

I died for a few minutes right at the end but it wasn't my time so The Devil sent me back

I saw that too. It was a really good doc. I couldn't stop watching like glued to the damn TV type shit. Watching him twitch was just insane bc it's like you know that's the end for him and no one can do anything but watch him die.

i also admittedly shed some tears, but it was his dedication to his job and bravery to continue that touched me. with this level of intensity, if he had left his position, im sure it would have taken a long time to find a replacement, possibly increasing the workload of his fellows. these people help to keep our infrastructure running yet most of us dont know they exist - thank you!

I'm a Merchant Marine and I've had a few properly fucked mishaps in the sea, so yeah, I too shed a few emotionally touchy eye water drops I guess 🥲

I’m so glad it’s your faith in humanity :) yes, we humans are so often honorable and good to others - animal or human. Thank goodness for so many you tubers who show us ourselves being so terrific, cause you certainly don’t see this in the media - and I don’t know why - there sure is plenty of it :) 🌷🌱

And some people tell good stories 😂

I started crying my eyes out seeing him twitching, that real footage really got me to me.

Yeah, that's what I thought too

And it's quite possible that Duncan had been eating curry. That garlic breath was enough to wake anyone up.

It's the pressure that increases the amount of gases (O2, N2 and He in Trimix) in the tissues. O2 becomes toxic at too high concentrations. Thats why it's fraction is reduced in deep diving.

@@KenFullman Nah, his bellmates would have probably killed him over the smell a week before the incident.

it has to be related. your whole body super saturated and pressurized, I wish miracles where real. But I don't believe so.

Maybe he reasoned that not going back would mean letting the ocean win, and he couldn't have that. JK the guy is courageous af. I just can't fathom being able to make that choice.

would you return to your job after what happened to him?

How long do you need to train in order to become a diver?

Not may of, it 100% did.

They're not dead until they're warm and dead.

Ever see the movie "The Abyss"?

@@robbrown2314 yes

i was told that in my maritime first aid class. @@lisa2stewart

i was told that in my maritime first aid class. @@lisa2stewart

thoughty2 should make that a video explaining that!

He, like MrBallen, were meant to be storytellers! They're the 2 best!!!

GREAT!.....U ds!! 😉

even better is if you had amalgam fillings , they fizz when you weld underwater :)

@@geoffgunn9673 Thanks for that image 🤣

Exactly what I thought, anyone researching cryo sleep or stasis must surely be interested in Chris' medical notes. He was in suspended animation for 30 mins!

its also possible that he just had more then 5 mins air supply could have been about 30 lmao, its not reasonable for only 5 mins of air to be stored as emergency

He put his entire heart into that save! Duncan Allcock is not dunkin' half-assed!

He has 2 kids but I guess for a choice that big you really can’t second-guess it

Did u wash your hands or are you still motioning ?

Don't drop your phone down the bog or you'll be doing some saturation diving yourself!!😂

you should watch the documentary. It's so tense and has much more footage.

@@embracethemystery I don’t know if I want too. That was “real” . It humbled me.
