No, you made ours! I woke up this morning seeing one of you videos and had to rub my eyes because your normally just upload on Tuesday.. This was hilarious!!!
Okay but like, movies described in the same way as real-life disasters is actually a really good idea for a legit new series?? Gives a new perspective to things, y’know?
I for one am impressed that he managed to find so many ways to avoid saying 'dinosaurs' and that it took almost 9 minutes before it was even brought up.
I *was* a bit peeved at referring to the T. rex and Raptors as "lizards" - they're Reptiles, but they're not Lizards. But that's just biology pedantics. 😅
I heard they set a special scholarship in your uncle’s name at his law school. Not sure why it was set up to give preference to those hoping to become patent lawyers working with ceramic engineers, though.
They really don't do him respect in the fantastical representations of the event 🙄 your family should sue for defamation, especially since media makes light of his corpse
The role of the scientists in this disaster can't be understated. They were so preoccupied with whether or not they _could,_ they didn't stop to think if they _should._
@@zvisger That's what *"THEY"* want you to think. Hiding in plain sight like all of those highly secret Illuminati™ signs that are inexplicably on banknotes and are only noticed by people who live in their mum's basement and are on registers at their local police station. WOKE UP SHEPPLE!!!!
i've never actually seen jurassic park and was just casually listening to this video at work and was completely shocked at the complete irresponsibility and ineptitude of this company. then you said the word "dinosaurs," and i realized i had been pranked
Some people 18years old+, coming overseas to establish and working doesn't know who were the music band called 'The Beatles'. You've never seen it all. I haven't saw independence day 1995, the day camp proposed that movie, or some other stuff, that was when everyone knew Green Day at the very least, and music on tapes was the regular thing, best sound for heavy+.
You mean some people UNDER the age of 18 don’t know The Beatles? Because I would think any people who DO know of them would likely be 18+, though probably not all, as you said… and what did you mean by “the day camp proposed that movie”? 🤔
What do you mean the truth? People are saying it's not real and you can't find anything on it besides Jurassic park fanfiction. So, is this the Cocos Islands? Or can you help clarify anything since your a Costa Rican citizen?
@@missjddrage1111 the movie he's talking about is Jurassic Park hahah, it was shot in Hawaii. The islands are Sorna and Nublar which don't exist, but would be near Coco's Island
Yeah, I don't know a single person who hasn't seen this documentary. It was really groundbreaking since all the graphics in it were created by Industrial Light and Magic. The thing won an Oscar that year for best visual effects, the first time it was ever awarded to a documentary.
Ehhh I thought Spielberg's take was unnecessarily over-the-top. I mean how can we possibly know what really happened to Nedry? There were no witnesses. It seems unrealistic that he was that bad of a guy. Maybe he was set up?
"Spiel-burgers"? I almost fell over laughing! You sir, deserve the RU-vid equivalent of an Emmy for managing to inject so many puns into this whilst doing it in your usual calm, informative narrative style. Bravo!
Yes, I’m gonna have to go back and listen to it again knowing it is a joke. I kept thinking the entire time, “Jurassic park was based on a true story???”😮😳😱🤭🤷🏻♀️
So I didn’t know this was a prank: after the synopsis; I said to myself “I wonder if this is where they got the idea for Jurassic Park.” You definitely had me going!
Between this and coverage of the Amity Island incident, I'm glad someone is covering lesser known disasters. You'd think a Spielberg documentary would bring more attention to these tragedies, but most people who've heard of them seem to think they were hoaxes.
I'm still waiting for coverage of the flight to Chicago where the pilots ate fish and got poisoned and the only person that could land the plane was a passenger with a serious drinking problem.
It's clear that corners were cut, despite the claims that no expense had been spared. But I feel that the lax safety standards were reflective of the wider culture within InGen, from staff on the ground to research and development. I seem to recall one of the consultants after the event stating that they company was more preoccupied with whether they could [create something without thinking the consequences through] than whether they should.
This was more than just a simple April fools video, this was a mockumentary of the events of the origins and downfall of jurassic park. I hope we get to see the San Diego Incident next.
So, I'm recovering from surgery and on decent pain meds. I was a good 3 minutes in and went "Wait, isn't this Jurassic Park?" 😂 This is so well done. I love it.
Yeah, for me the only giveaway is that I know Isla Nublar is fictional. It's not a real island used for a movie location. Yes that region does have real islands IRL, but not that name.
If you really want to find the truth of what happened, if you want to dig down into that rabbit hole, Google a company called BioSyn and their chief geneticist, one Lewis Dodgson. I think you'll find that what really happened on that day in November 1990 isn't exactly what we've been told. They told the public it was a systems failure due to Hurricane Clarissa, but the truth? It was a case of industrial espionage gone wrong.
@@screwthecabal6453 As a Costa Rican I can confirm , back in 1993 my uncle was part of a group of 11 paramedics hired by InGen when he was called to attend this infamous T-Rex attack , he and 4 more refused to attend the incident and stayed in San jose , Costa Rica.
I was just listening to this while at work, and I was like “why does this sound like the plot of Jurassic Park” and then I opened the video and saw it was indeed, Jurassic park. I love how well you are able to make this sound so real!!
I grew up just 5 km from where this happened. My parents and their friends never wanted to talk about it much, it was so horrific for the neighborhood. Thank you for telling this story in such detail, so that I can finally learn what happened.
I absolutely enjoy listening to your mini documentaries while sending emails at work but never watching the screen. Then this amazing gem came across my ears. This is brilliance at its finest. Of course now i find myself waiting on April 1 2023 to see what kind of educational tom-foolery comes next. If there is a Content Provider of the Year Award, You have won.
I urge people to look into this story further. The Isla Nublar incident has been connected with several subsequent tragedies, including a series of deadly animal attacks in San Diego in 1997. It's a terrifying rabbit hole of corporate manslaughter, and it's something we should all be talking about.
Have you heard the rumors around Isla Sorna? I know everyone believes it to be a conspiracy theory but why wouldn't another company try to salvage the tech? It's not like they told the truth at all with the whole debacle so why believe them now?
Most people just believe the standard line we've all been fed about Hurricane Clarissa causing a systems outage at the park which allowed the dinosaurs to run amok on the island. But I had some high level contacts at InGen who told me the true story about Dennis Nedry and Lewis Dodgson of BioSyn conspiring to smuggle fertilized dinosaur embryos off the island using the hurricane as cover. Mr. Nedry screwed up, it all went sideways, and that's the REAL reason we all know about the Isla Nublar incident today.
I watched almost the whole video until he said he cloned dinosaurs lmao, I was like okay cloned bugs sure I guess we do that now irl so sure, but I would have heard about cloned dinosaurs hahaha
Seeing this now on 9/1/2022, and this episode still holds its factual precision on this tragedy. Such an awful loss of life. RIP Ray Arnold, Donald Gennaro, and Dennis Nedry 😢. Rare exotic lizards are dangerous! Be careful!
I can't believe a guy who claimed to "spare no expense" employed only a single man to design and oversee the entire computer security system. The worst thing is how avoidable this tragedy was.
And then refused to give him a raise, which led to the whole 'malfunction' in the first place. So yeah, spared no expense except for cheaping out on the programmers contract. Poor Newman, he died broke, nothing but a can of shaving cream to his name.
If you really pay attention, the “spared no expense” thing is a recurring lie in the movie. He underpays Nedry, doesn’t put locks on the car doors, puts poisonous plants out among the animals because they “look good”, breeds dangerous animals with no thoughts of containment (and when he gets them contained, they’re in a way that no visitor can observe them), has his genetics teams cavalierly gene-splice animals with no thought to the ramifications, the whole thing is a shitshow
You realize this is an April Fool’s joke right? It’s about Jurassic Park. He did it last year as well with Jaws & made it look like a real event. For a minute I forgot it was April 1 & was amazed that Jurassic Park was based on a real story. Ha. Then, I quickly remembered the date & the Amity Bay Shark Attack story. 😂
@@b-dub6865 Absolutely, we were playing along. Kind of as if it were a real event, what would have actually caused the problem. The programmer that screwed the computer is the same actor that played Newman on Seinfeld. That's why I called him Newman.
@@missjddrage1111 Unfortunately, this documentary is cutting edge! The majority of information is either buried by time or by someone's decision. Hopefully this creates an avenue for healthy discussion!!!!
I remember hearing about this when I was kid, I believe Micheal Crichton wrote a book about it, and if I'm not mistaken, Stephen Spielberg made a documentary about it also...
Thanks for including "A Short "Documentary" " in the title of your April 1st episodes. It makes them easier to find and enjoy. I'm looking forward to the next one.
One of the biggest corporate scandals in recent history, good to see that someone is finally exposing this. Although there was a far better documentary about this released in theaters back in the early 90s.
@@rxw5520 you’re a few dinosaurs short in the northern enclosure aren’t you pal? 99.9% of viewers: Play along with the production. red_array: gets all triggered and offended like one of the fictional characters was a family member and screams “OMG, IT’S NOT REAL” 🤬 Me, the .1%: 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 No shit it’s not real 🤦♂️ Bet you’re fun on Christmas morning, Easter time or when a child loses a tooth. 👏🙄
I’ve really enjoyed watching your videos. I’m a bit of a history nut and I thoroughly appreciate your detailed and honest take on events. But THIS video is the one that made me fall in love with your channel. Thanks so much. Finding this video made my day. 😁
I recall hearing something about that back in the 90's. Although it was tragic for those involved, it's a fascinating story. I'm surprised someone hasn't made a movie of it.
@@alexmartin3143 Hard to believe things could get out of hand like this. But the errors and bad judgment were obvious, as themocaw below has well pointed out.
@@azmike3572 I dunno. That old saying about reality being stranger than fiction comes to mind. If they made a movie of it people would say it's too far fetched.
Referring to them as “rare birds and lizards” is probably the funniest part because of how much more legitimate it makes this video sound. You have your video format/presenting style so nailed down that it took me a bit to realise this was an April’s Fools video 😂 not gonna lie I’d actually really enjoy a side channel that uses this channel’s video format to cover fictional events like this!
Other than disaster movies (like Towering Inferno), I'm trying to think of other fictional events that would me fun to cover like this. In terms of larger scale stuff, for natural disasters there is the Ulysses Meteor Strike from Ace Combat, for manmade could be Operation British in Gundam. For smaller scale, horror movies could work (Friday the 13th, Final Destination), but in terms of more unique options could be stuff like classic and popular literature (Sleey Hollow, Metamorphosis, Watchmen) or again cheesier media (The Fly, a Bond villain plot, Disaster Report, etc.)
I like this kind of April Fools joke, it’s a quality video and not just some throw away gag reel. If I’d had to pick, I’d want to see him cover the Mystery Flesh Pit National Park 2011 disaster in the next April fools video.
My favorite part of this is how I can hear the smile in your voice at a couple of points, like you're trying not to laugh. Definitely made it more fun!
The disregard for people's safety in this incident is truly a tragedy... I saw it coming right from the beginning! I hope this video stays up for a long time to raise awareness. These deaths must be cherished and remembered
I read an interview with a an American doctor working in Costa Rica who cared for one of the workmen from Isla Nublar who had supposedly been run over by a backhoe. The doctor was quoted as saying that the incident much more closely resembled an animal attack than an industrial accident however the crew boss , some guy named Ed Regis, was being very paranoid and vague about what actually happened. The doctor tried to take pictures of the wounds for reference but found her camera missing after the ingen employees left. Very fishy.
@@sclarin2 if you think that's fishy you should try to Google this event the government has taken great measures to cover this up. Last I heard some macabre investor was wanting to open a theme park type place on the island SMH what's next Chernobyl land?
The narrator overlooked one of the most egregious safety violations that caused the visitors to be put in such a predicament, and that was the lack of locks on the touring vehicles to prevent guests from exiting. In fact, there were so many safety violations that I have to wonder if this was an elaborate insurance scam and the park was designed to fail.
Frankly, the park shouldn't have had so few employees overseeing the park. Or the IT person should have been paid more to ensure that he wouldn't be so burned out or susceptible to bribes from rival corporations. Nedry did NOTHING wrong!!!
Wow, what a tragedy. RIP to those who were lost. I'm sure the company has learned their lessons and will get it right next time. Would make an awesome book or movie!!
Yeah, I was only 11, and all the coverage at the time really traumatized me. Sometimes I still have nightmares. I can't believe these things still go on!
Whenever you have those memories, it helps to hum a peaceful melody to take your mind of the horrors. I usually go with DA DA DAA DAA DA DA DA DAA DA DAAAA DA DA DA DA…
In my friends living room during a sleepover when I was 10. Made it really tough to get to sleep after seeing all of that develop right in front of our eyes there on the TV. 90s was a wild time to grow up...
6:30 I read in an interview around the time of the incident that the younger brother was severely injured when the fence power came back online, as well. He seems to have recovered well, though- very lucky, electricity is no joke
One survivor named ian Malcolm, what's asked to describe his experience of the disater of the exotic park as he survived, he was quoted as saying, "That's one big pile of shit."
The effects of his incident go beyond just the park itself. My brother was offered a job with Ingen right out of college and had built his career around designing the infrastructure for the park. He was so proud of it and it took over a decade to design. That's all he did night and day for about 8 years and thanks to one fat loser, it's all gone down the drain. My brother has been in a deep depression ever since. It's so sad.
.... This is the most professionally done April Fools joke I have seen. ... You should make this a series actually. No, I'm serious. I'd love to see your take on other movies as well. This is amazing.
Oh wow I wish I had known about his page last year , I would have loved to have opened up my RU-vid and found that story at the top of my subscriptions….. just like I did this year
If you enjoyed this honest and raw account is this terrible event as much as I did, watch it again. Except this time, watch it with the subtitles. It’ll introduce a whole new level!
I'm surprised this story didn't receive the mass media attention it deserved, I think some higher-ups tried to sweep this incident under the rug. Thank you for bringing light to what happened on Isla Nublar, more people need to know about this tragedy.
Just another example of the rich cutting corners and getting away with it. Hammond was just fired after getting breaking numerous ethics laws, and getting people killed. Oh but if i get caught with crack i gotta be locked away from society. Americas justice system is a joke!
There were also these wild rumors that one of the company's animals somehow wound up in downtown San Diego a few years later, resulting in quite a bit of damage to property and a number of injuries.
I was listening to this half asleep and woke up thinking it was real. It wasn’t until I tried to Google Isla Nublar that I realized that I'd been pranked. Good job! 😂
I was sitting here going "I don't think cloning tech is far enough along to do that now. It certainly wasn't in 1993... Why does that park layout sound so familiar?" Then I googled when Jurassic Park was released and everything kinda fell into place. lol
“Uou stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could and, before you even knew what you had, you patented it and packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you're selling it [bangs on table] you're gonna sell it! "
I was going to say that this was Jurassic Park all over just from listening to the intro....then I saw your brilliant comment. My hat would be off to you, sir, if I had one. EDIT: OOOOHHHHH...APRIL FOOLS! Now that I watch 1 minute in, I see that I’m a COMPLETE GULLIBLE MORON! 😂 🤣 I was like, what?!? This happened with real animals? They must’ve based the movie on this! Then I saw John Hammond....
The decision to avoid using the word "dionosaur" until near the end really helped keep up the appearance of this being legitimate, that was a good decision, these april fools specials are really well done, last year's Jaws one was too.
I agree! I quickly caught on to the Jaws one last year, but I was completely unfamiliar with this movie and didn't realize it was an April Fool's until the dinosaur's mentioned at the end!
@@ArtooDetour I did catch that, but I thought it was just google translate translating wrong. Same as when it translated "wrecks" as Rex in the text. I was fooled!
I’ve never actually seen Jurassic Park and I forgot the date, I spent most of this video wondering how I’d never heard of this incident lol. This is the first AFJ that has truly ‘got me’ for about 30 years….bravo!
Same here! I’ve never actually watched the films except scattered clips, so I was only vaguely familiar with the plot. I thought for a while that this was the inspiration for the movies.
@@skylarmccune9242 the worst thing is, when I saw the CEO of the company responsible for the project I thought ‘wow, he looks just like Richard Attenborough’ haha 😂.
I’ve heard there’s a memorial to honor the victims at Universal Studios, California. It’s near another memorial that honors those lost in the Transformers wars. RIP
Holy crap! That was awesome. I fell for this hook line & sinker! I watched several of your videos in a row, so was totally “in it”. It’s been forever since I saw the movie, and kept thinking, dang, this must’ve been the inspiration for Jurassic Park. It wasn’t until I googled Isla Nublar and read the comments here that I realized the joke. Well played!
I normally find April fools jokes tiresome, but I've got to say that was brilliant. Knowing your format and knowing the movie was a brilliant pairing and very entertaining! Great video!
I am old enough to remember when this happened, it was on TV everywhere. It became quite famous for a time - you could even buy toy replica's of the beasts involved. Sounds outrageously disrespectful now given those who died, but these were more innocent times.
I personally think they'd overstretched and already ordered figures of the nimals before opening the park to pump up attention. Rebranding them after the incident to try to get back some of the money they were now paying in compensation.
@@BrennaDraws Probably true. There were stories too that one of the guys who died was trying to make cash on the side too by selling trade secrets to a rival. There were even crazy rumours he might have been responsible for some of the power outages whilst trying to hide his tracks. I think these were conspiracy theories pushed InGen when they realised how much trouble they were in. It's the usual case of 'When things go wrong - blame the guys on the front line'. They probably did all sorts to salvage a buck or two in the aftermath.
This was a brilliant recap an event that had a huge impact on my life as a former zookeeper and current biology educator,and I am glad that you are bringing this tragedy back to public attention after being ignored for so long! I plan to use your video as a case study on genetics, biotechnology, and bioethics in my classes. Thanks for such a detailed report - Never Forget Isla Nublar!!
This whole incident was vastly downplayed by media outlets and the company! I'm so glad that someone is finally shedding light on this disaster and hopefully will cause a new investigation to be opened to hold the company responsible! Shame on them!
I was SO confused. I was lying in bed, 5 am, closed my eyes and was just listening, and kept thinking I’d fallen asleep, missed a chunk of it because it didn’t make sense... finally woke up all the way, saw the photo at the end and heard the dinosaur thing and cracked up!! It was very well done.
Oh, you have got to be kidding sir. First you think of an idea that has already been done. Then you give it a title that nobody could possibly like. Didn't you think this through?
I got the joke as soon as I saw the title. I still had to watch because I was like "how is he going to make JURASSIC PARK sound like a real incident? There were DINOSAURS!"
35 seconds in, I remembered my sister’s take on the incident - she was 7 at the time, and left repeatedly throughout reports on the incident to go hide in the restroom. In middle school, members of my tennis team and I studied this incident in detail whenever it rained and we couldn’t practice during class. Thank you for covering such an important part of our history with such care and thought.
"Security cameras in the DINO-SAUR the group being stalked" "Understandably, the young children were left nervous REX by the experience" I appreciate people who put the jokes in the subtitles.
Probably the best April Fools joke ever. Even though it's spoiled by the thumbnail I thought it was just being used as a pop culture reference for some real life safari disaster.
The sad part of all this is, every single contributing factor that led to this would have been exposed and could have been mitigated with proper application of chaos theory.
Another professional, respectful examination of a senseless tragedy, as expected of FascinatingHorror. What a poignant day you chose to showcase this disaster.
I'm a long ago retired CIA remote viewer. I've had dreams that for many years I have struggled to understand. Now that you've brought this information to light I can finally sleep in peace knowing where my random uninitiated remote viewing nightmares come from.
Thank you for this level-headed, serious take on this subject instead of the sensationalized, overly dramatic versions that were circulating in the media. People need to take incidents such as this more seriously!!!!!
The second I saw the title including Isla Nublar, I shouted DINOSAURS! And I was right. Jurassic Park is quite literally my favorite movie of all time, and I say well done sir, well done.
