The pipe incident made me physically sick to my stomach. The fact the company did NOTHING despite the men clearly being alive for days is just disgusting.
Im pretty sure they let them die because its easier to say it was an act if god instead of properly managed equipment. If they survived it would have been a crazy lawsuit, letting them die was an act of saving their asses. Fuck the world, I cant watch that part of the video because that story makes me cry every time.
@@lynnpere8340 I watched it because I knew it would make me angry, and boy has it made me angry. I know this was a while ago and things will have changed, but there are still companies out there who put profit before lives and it needs to stop.
@@comradekommandmentklaus1848 Not so sure tbh - capitalism would want to safeguard the workers as they would be expensive to replace. This is more like psychopathy at a managerial level.
Their is something genuinely evil about sending condolences before they were dead. It scary to think about how the men in the pipe were fighting for their life for two days not knowing they had already been written off as disposable.
My heart breaks for Chris. He knows how terrifying the experience was and he knows the fear his friends felt. He made it out of there to save them. He wasn’t able or even allowed to save them. The survivor's guilt would be unbearable
I heard this story like month ago from mrballen and it stays with u for a some time. Honestly the most depressing and horrifying story i have heard, it makes u sad and angry and the idea of being stuck inside a pipe miles away from freedom and underwater is such a nightmare. I rly feel for the guy who made it out, living with shit like this must be insanely traumatizing. Hope he will find a piece of mind one day.
two days TWO DAYS and Paria wouldn't even TRY I cant imagine the endless, overwhelming emotions all five men must have felt that whole time Chris' panic, anger, despair the others' desperation and fear, fighting that entire time to be heard and Paria just waited. for two days. heartbreaking doesnt even come lightyears close
@@Nephialt IKR? I was wondering what the difference was between the rescue(even though there was no plan for one) and recovery efforts, besides the obvious. If it was dangerous to rescue, would it not also be dangerous for recovery? Did they cut into the pipe? I heard they didn't, perhaps cost, safety issues. I don't know a lot about these things so I'm totally clueless and don't know what the right questions to ask are.
The pipe incident is yet another reminder that corporations do not care about you. The decision to end your life in pain, in fear, and unable to breathe is a business move.
I truly hope Christopher doesn’t feel guilty for what happened to his friends in that pipe. He tried so hard to save all their lives, only to be completely and utterly failed by a company that saw them as less than human. I hope he is doing okay. May the memories of the men who died be for a blessing.
Not true. The bodies were fished out, and the only injuries they had were leg injuries. Not to mention the pipe could be partially split to release the pressure
I feel so bad for the police officer in the first part. You can tell just how devastated he was with the fact that the two people he talked to not even 10 minutes ago ended up dying brutally.
Feel terrible for the officer but it's hard to feel any sympathy for the 2 idiots in the car. Clearly showing off with their 100mph was more important than their lives. Warned once and they clearly didn't care.
I'm just happy that no one else got hurt. those two pricks had no guilt for nearly killing some pedestrians and drivers, and immediately went back to being an extreme danger for surrounding people. I really feel little sympathy for the driver especially, he had it coming and I'm just so glad there were no others involved in the wreck.
Yeah, why should he feel bad. You can't protect idiots from themselves. It was bound to happen sooner or later if they're that dumb. Just be thankful that no one else was hurt. If anything the cop probably saved an innocent life. Imagine if some kid was crossing the road.
The fact that Paria was cleared of any charges legitimately pisses me off. Just the fact that they immediately gave up and started writing death notices WHILE THE MEN WERE STILL ALIVE, and yet received no punishment for their negligence, shows that there truly is no justice in this world.
I dunno, seems like they felt like the risk to lose more lives by trying to save them was to great. Which is probably why charges were dropped. Terrible situation regardless
The pipe accident is about to make me cry. Chris did everything he could to try and save his crew. I’m sorry so for him. Rest In peace to those brave men.
Its also such a scary death, as someone with claustrophobia I can't even begin to imagine how absolutely terrifying that must have been. Rest in peace 💔
My eyes got teary imagining that situation as someone who's claustrophobic, to helplessly wait in complete suffocating darkness, no assurance of anyone who'd even come rescue, but just wait and eventually, slowly meeting with their fate. I can't imagine how terrifying, makes me truely angry that paria did nothing to help them, even though they had whole 48 hours of time. I just know the guilt Chris felt was unbearable.
I feel sorry for Officer Nunez. He gives a reckless teenager the benefit of the doubt, thinking "Surely no-one would be so stupid as to get pulled over for speeding, get let off with a ticket and a stern warning, and immediately begin speeding again!" and then...
Why should he think that? Someone who is into speeding does not get stopped by a traffic stop without consequences. Psychologically it was so obvious that he will continue … even worse … most likely trying to impress the girl …
That last case is honestly disgusting. The clear amount of negligence from the company is unreal. There were 4 lives on the line that were surely able to be saved. Extremely sad and frustrating.
Paria leaving those men there to die without making absolutely no effort is the most disgusting thing I've heard recently. Yes, it was dangerous to try, but you don't just immediately write sorry letters to the families and go drink vodka as if your decision didn't just killed 4 men!
The incident with the Paria pipeline disgusts me to my core. They knew that those men were alive and didn’t have the decency to save them, but ‘their bodies were fished out of the pipe five days later’. How absolutely disgusting.
Easy for you to judge when you aren’t the one that has to make the decision. It wouldn’t make sense to risk more live to save them. There was nothing they could do. Even the rescuers advised the company that it was too risky.
That doesn’t make sense why would you put more people in danger, it was clear that the pipe could have gotten a lot worse and it could have caused more people to get stuck and die in there
The Paria incident made me physically sick. Not because of the legal stuff, but because of the poor worker’s screams. Them saying “we’re inside the pipe!” made me feel nauseous just imagining what it was like.
@@nuclearexplosion5841not necessarily..they could get to the bodies after they were deceased without worrying about if the oil and water was going to affect the person. I will say, they could have at least tried something, anything…anything at all, even if it meant they might* pass away in the process, at least try. I’m truly in tears it’s so sad! & Chris, having promised them help, how the families must’ve felt, most importantly the men themselves, & the fact you could hear them in the pipe for two days…incredibly morbid and how no one did anything is absolutely BONKERS.
@@joechen692it still wouodve cheaper to save them if thats whst happened, they just didnt care, were not people to them, wrrw a means to make them money, were all replaceable
For the first time, I've actually felt affected by one of these videos. The Paria Pipeline incident is enraging. Two days those men were begging for help. Paria left them to die and Chris himself had been trying to save his friends the entire time- just thinking of it is so sad and terrifying. My heart goes out to this man, and may those divers rest in peace. I hope Christopher has a nice life after this, and that he doesn't blame himself for what happened. He's a good man.
That type of story makes me genuinely appreciative to live in such a coddled environment as the western world is. The complete lack of care for men's lives seems utterly inconceivable, although I'm aware it does exist.
I don't want to be a downer here, but I severely doubt he could live a happy life after this. Genuinely good moments would be tainted by the memories of his comrades and it infuriates me to exponential levels that NO ONE got blamed for this and the company took money of the death of 4 WORKERS, blatantly showing that they thought of them as expendable with the deceased letters going out before the pipe banging stopped. A truly terrible show of the dark sides of the work environment.
The Paria Pipeline has me actually crying. Hearing those men in the pipe knowing those were there recorded last words is devastating. Paria should be held accountable!
Accountable for what exactly? 5 days is FASSSSSTTTTTT. These men honestly shouldnt have survived the first second of that situation and its amazing they somehow did.
@@seditt5146what? 1 man survived, and 4 men were left there to die, that’s why the families should sue. And the company should be accountable for their deaths!
I know someone who was in the crowd rush at the Love Parade. She said it was the worst moment of her life. To this day, she is unable to go anywhere, where there will be crowds and certain songs trigger her as well.
I can imagine … I do not like crowds … because there have been so many incidents that come to my mind … how stupid can you be to consider an event with such bottlenecks being a good idea?
Writing their death notices while they’re still alive is one of the cruelest things I’ve ever heard. Not highest on the list, but holy heck that’s cold.
Chris is such an incredible man going through such a terrifying experience without knowing if he would make it out alive, and was actively trying to go back in to save the other men still trapped. I don’t think that even 0.001% of the world could do that so wow he is amazing. I seriously cannot believe that paria could leave those men to die in such fear and pain. Surely they could have done at least something. So so horrible.
The fact they managed to retrieve the bodies makes you wonder why they couldn't at least try while they were still alive. Even if they ended up sadly dying in the process at least it would have been quick not like this
@@seditt5146they typed up their death announcements and waited until they were corpses, and this is what you call “trying”?? Amazing. There really is no bar that’s low enough for some people, huh.
The red lake one is disturbing to me. I often think 'someone died where I am standing' as intrusive thoughts often go. But that reality always proves itself when you are least expecting it. Imagine learning that you were standing feet away from someone's remains, with others not that far away
when the youtubers were talking i thought “the lake looks dark enough to hide bodies” and nick says that they found 6 bodies there dude my heart sank to my ass bc i was half joking but is so devastating hear that now i wont be able to sleep
Yeah, if it has anything to do with shipping or the oil/gas industry anything like that, then there really is no such thing as 'accountability' - corporations are free to endanger as many workers (especially if they're migrant workers) as they want.
@roguegen Norfolk Southern rail transport had a derailment in East Palestine, Ohio carrying highly toxic chemicals. They destroyed an entire town. (possibly more than one) and have not suffered more than a few fines. If you have money and Washington D..C. support, (and stockholders), you are golden and above reproach. Bottom line; you can commit murder, and/or horrific pollution with no repercussions.✌️😿
I just went onto the Trinidad Petroleum website (the company who owns Paria), and apparently, one of their values was safety. They said "The safety and well-being of our employees and the communities in which we operate is our number one priority." Safety and well-being of our employees my ass. I genuinely hope the families of the men involved are recovering well
Yes, after watching the video it's hard to believe these words mean anything at all and you just wonder how much of a priority safety is for the next company.
I went on the website of the insurance company has i worked for and got seriously injured ,, and they have tried every dirty trick and lie to deny my legitimate claim ... it says "SAFETY IS OUR NUMBER ONE CONCERN ,, AND TO MAKE YOUR INSURANCE CHEAPER ,, WE TRAIN YOUR EMPLOYEES ,, WE ARE OUT IN THE FIELD HELPING YOUR MEN WORK SAFELY ".. comeplete bullshit !!!! All of it
The first story always gets me, no matter how many times I watch this video. The blood on the trailer, the crashed car, the sound of the officers voice when he recognized the car, it's tragic
That red-ish thing in the trailer are.. blood??? its so many wtfff.. genuinely disturbed me while watching that bod cam while trying to still in denial n thinks the trailer's carrying tomatoes or wine or whatever that is red b4 reading ur comment
It’s not blood thankfully. The semi trailer had an ad for meatballs and spaghetti sauce on the side so it looks that way. I thought the same at first. Although they still died horribly sadly 😞
The most horrific part of the pipe line story is how the men sound. None of them sound as if they think they're going to die more that they have trust someone would do something, only for the corporation they practically died for to call off any attempt at saving them to instead start a recovery operation before they had even died. Seriously chilling.
I feel so bad for Christopher... He had hopes he kept pushing so he could relay the msg... And then they left them to die...i just hope he forgives himself..
@@noobgamersland6969 Exactly, even more saddening is the man who could've lived while he was going with Christopher, Chris lived because he ignored the other guy and it must be so hard living with the guilt that if you just persuaded someone a little bit more they could've survived
what hits me more deeply is how the men was desperately banging on the pipes for people to hear them. They suceeded, but yet was in vain. I can't even imagine what they were thinking, did they think that Chris and the other died? they would probably prefer thinking like that because if Chris was saved then he would save them
@@menameMid I haven't even thought about that, if they think Chris died that's really saddening and possibly why even with their injuries they didn't proceed, but if they believe he made it, the betrayal they must've felt knowing he got out of there without going back for them, even if he did all he could to help
Man I feel for that first officer. He tried to give someone the benefit of the doubt and I can feel his pain through the video. You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink it.
I feel for him and he was just trying to be the good guy but letting some punk ass go without consequences was stupid. Ofc that dude was gonna just keep speeding and driving like a dipshit
It's wild to me that no rescue attempt was made to save the other three men. It was safe enough for Chris to make it to a rescuable point, one would figure at least food and oxygen would be able to be delivered to them as they set to work deconstructing the pipe. Makes me think that there was a conscious decision made to not rescue them in order to save time and money.
Who would they have sent in there to rescue them? They ARE the people trained to go down there. It's a sad situation but its what they signed up for at the end of the day. Risking the lives of other people who are not trained for this dangerous environment is a mathematically bad move. There is a reason jobs like that get paid so well.. "Makes me think that there was a conscious decision made to not rescue them in order to save time and money." Correct. Funerals are expensive.
@@wandererfoolish5126 - No way are you siding with the company that decided to do nothing. What makes you assume that they decided to not save them for the best of reasons? What was preventing them from sending someone with a rope and extra oxygen tanks? Never assume that a corporation has your interest at heart.
@@wandererfoolish5126erm, rescuers. Who else? 🙄 They weren't the only men in the world that were capable of getting down there, where there's a will there's a way. They didn't even try.
i was touched that you named all the victims in the red lake segment. so many people online just focus on the crimes as though the victims are after thoughts. thank you for your compassion
I’m geniunely crying over the pipe incident. I’m usually unphased but this was by FAR the most disturbing video of this series yet, I geniunely feel like throwing up hearing how they were trapped and left to die slowly, how the man had tried to save his friends, pissed at how they switched it to a RECOVERY effort, disturbed at how they were banging on the walls of the pipe for days, desperate, literally fighting to survive, and finally, the fact that all charges were dropped against the sick fucks that allowed it all to happen in the first place.
It's the same with Deepwater Horizon. BP got away scott free when men died because of their misconduct. Money + The true nature of man = Calamity and death
I can’t imagine telling his friends that he’d come back or send help and realizing that Paria never saved them. His heartbreak must have been immense when he thought of how they were alive for days down there but no one helped them. If they could get them out when they were dead why didn’t they try when they were alive?
My husband is a welder & this last October received an offer from a company to be an under water welder. I told him I would rather he didn’t and after a few days he declined. I can’t even imagine those families pain & horror. My God, I sent them all my love and prayers. I hope those men rest peacefully. Chris - I’m keeping you in my heart. I’m so sorry you were betrayed like that.
@@Gadfly333 Lol she watched this one video and let it become her entire perspective despite that fact that underwater divers work every single day and never face any danger. This is a freak incident.
@@dg1431 if u male u don't have a say in any females life since it's y'all own personality to tell what women can n can't do since forever but god forbid if the opposite is happen. equal rights equal left, amirite?
The moral of the Paria Pipeline story is don’t bust your butt for any job because they literally do not care about you. My heart breaks for the families of the men who perished. I’m sure the survivor has been through hell too. Absolutely despicable, vile company! They are murderers!
Welcome to the world of Soulless Greed......I know it well. And not to worry, those responsible will have known that what you Sow, you will Reap.May they have interesting lives.
@peppermintpetty6766 You sound like an idiot. The divers did not die from "busting their butt". They died during the routine performance of their jobs. True, Paria did not put effort into rescuing them. But based the divers did not put any extra effort into getting into their tragic predicament. Based on the facts presented the "moral" would more likely be do not work for anyone.
Poor Christopher. The survivor guilt he must have struggled with must have been unbearable. He promised his friends to get them out and they wouldn't do it.
The paria pipeline incident is by far the most heartwrenching and down right terrifying topic you have covered on this channel. The thought of holding your breath and dragging yourself thru the unknown waters is inconceivable to me. I hope Chris finds his peace, and I hope the 4 who passed have found theirs. I can't fathom not breaking apart the pipe and attempting to save them.
I totally disagree with the company’s decision, as everyone else, but the pipe was under water so if they started cutting it would immediately fill up with water
Just spitballing here and off the top of my head…YTF didn’t they maybe try high volume pumps, remove as much water as possible in order to at least allow them an opportunity to slither their way through pipe? Idk…there’s a special place in hell for whoever made the decision to not even make an effort and just let them suffer for 2 days. Unthinkable, especially hearing them pounding on pipe. If that was my friends/family members, I would’ve gotten my own justice before those 4 people ran out of air. Pathetic
Just imagining the few that made it to Monday - almost three days in that dark pipe, covered in oil, breathing toxic air, and expecting help to come - is a straight hit to my system. That's absolutely horrifying to think about
That last video is nightmare fuel and i couldn’t imagine feeling that Chris had listening to his 4 friends slowly die because of the companies negligence
Its is disturbing that they deem rescuing the live trapped victims too much of a risk but its worth the risk to retrieve these same victims when they are dead 5 days later.
My theory for the car going off the cliff: She didn't want to be found. I bet the windows were left opened and she taped a brick to the gas pedal, letimg it drop (like she was holding it up manually) when she was ready. This would allow the car to keep going after hitting the water and opening the windows would keep the car submerged as well as her to drown. Not sure why she didn't just walk in... Perhaps she hoped the fall would kill her so she didn't have to drown. It's quite the roundabout way to do this though. My heart and sympathy goes out to her loved ones regardless of all of this. 💐
An obscure lake of extremely toxic and corrosive "blood" in the middle of nowhere that a killer used as a dumping ground for his victims? That genuinely sounds like the premise of a horror novel.
Usually when people think "this place is where a serial killer would kill" then probably you shouldn't be there. That's ur brain telling u it's dangerous but it's wild that we do these kinds of things often and brush it aside. I once was walking by a trail and honestly thought it was a good place to hide a body, one day I kept coming up in the trail and there was a foul smell. I ignored it and laughed it off as it was probably a dead body and assumed it was an animal...at some point I believed the smell was too foul for an animal so I avoided the trail just in case. It was later found that it was a dead body. The fact that the suitcases in the lake were visible and no one thought anything of it is so wild.
@@setofreakinkaiba8553holy shit, that sounds so crazy that it’s almost unreal. Idk if your telling the truth but if you are, that has to be so scary. You brain told you you were in danger, you shrugged it off, and days later someone who met their end was near where you thought there was danger. The human brain is crazy 🤷♂️
@@antifurryfoundation55I find it funny how you lump furries in with nazisand make the joke of hating them, yet the flag you use with your profile picture is very similar to the nazi flag. You are a horrible person. Let people live in their communities and have people they love (talking about furries, not nazis)
The story about the car going over the cliff is really creepy for some reason. There’s something really eerie about the idea of catching a glimpse of a car driving off a cliff and then not being able to find any evidence that it actually happened
@@mylifeasmickthats fucking terrifying. someone doing this on purpose to end their life is absolutely tragic and horrible, but this happening by error scares the hell out of me
I hope Nuñez is okay. He acted with kindness and tried to make the situation better. The accident wasn’t because he was negligent, but that’s gotta fuck with you
Kindness or stupidity? What's the point in having laws if the police don't enforce them? He nearly hit a child and a cop car, does that really warrant a pitiful slap on the wrist? I'm not blaming the officer for the crash, that's on the idiot driving dangerously and his silly girlfriend who was impressed by high speeds encouraging him, but it wouldn't have happened if the officer had taken him down the station. He would have taken that more seriously than a piece of paper.
I feel bad for him but he was absolutely negligent.... Someone going that fast and almost hitting multiple cars should not have just been let go with tickets period.... He had to have been going double the speed limit if not more if he was going 100mph in an area like that, that's not a "hey man just slow down" situation that's an arrest and impound situation if ever there was one. That's exactly why he's so bothered because he knows he made the wrong call.
@@blahblaahh3004 But it's not hard to see the officer's logic either. Dumb kids do dumb shit to show off, and almost unanimously tuck in their tail once they get into actual trouble. I get the officer for not wanting to be a seen as a hardass. Not saying he did the right thing, and I'm not saying I'd have made the same call, but I get it.
No jumpscares, no special effects, no paranormal entities, just glimpses into the lives of people caught up in tragic circumstances. True, unadulterated horror.
The first video is so anger inducing, and also incredibly sad. This kid knowingly continued to speed the way he was, and he found out the consequences. I feel horrible for his family, Alexa and her family- but I have a hard time having sympathy for Luis. This 100% could’ve been avoided, they could still be alive today. Insane.
I feel the same way. It really does feel difficult feeling sympathy for a guy who was clearly told his actions were dangerous and needed to stop, and he still didn't listen. Even in the video where the cop leaned in to talk to him, he looked like he couldn't give two shits at what he was doing. My heart goes out to the woman, and her and his family. A pitiful death he suffered, a heartbreaking one for his passenger.
Almost this exact thing happened to my big sister. She was the passenger, and the guy driving wanted to show off for her. Sped way too fast and couldn't make the turn. The car flipped and threw my sister out of the sunroof. She passed away a week later. Leaving behind my three beautiful nephews. He, however, is still alive. He's married with three kids of his own now. While he took the mom of three boys away. I'm still more than pissed. Luis should have cared more about her than himself looking cool.
I feel bad for both parties because both lives were precious, even if one made a stupid decision that doesn't devalue their life anymore than the girlfriends. Sure she was unwitting, but the guy was young and idiotic. I'm sure we've all defied authority for some sort of small satisfaction, and this decision cost two very dear lives. A lesson for all to drive safely and to not speed, no matter the situation. RIP to both of them and I hope their families were able to find some sort of closure ❤
The pipeline incident was genuinely one of the most wretched things I have ever heard. Paria should be sued for all they have for their negligence and disgusting indifference for their employees. My heart goes out to the families Fyzal Kurban, Kazim Ali Jr, Rishi Nagassar and Yusuf Henry. May God have mercy on their souls.
I feel so bad for the officer in the first video. The amount of guilt he will probably feel for the rest of his life is devastating. The "what ifs" and "I should have done this" thoughts are torture. I really hope he doesn't blame himself and if he does, I hope he forgives himself.
Right because if he'd arrested them then people would just keep saying shit like all cops are bastards and they also would've preferred the ticket if they were the driver.
I feel terrible for the officer and the truck driver. The officer did his job and sincerely warned them to be careful and was really polite despite the fact they clearly could've killed a few pedestrians. The poor truck driver was only doing their job and now has to live with the guilt of unintentionally being involved in the death of two people. The utter stupidity and selfishness of the driver and his date is astounding. Imagine getting off with a ticket and a scolding from law enforcement and a pedestrian and still choosing to drive like he's invincible. His date is just as bad because if I was in the passenger's seat I would definitely not be cool with someone driving like that. I've seen to many near-misses at night with cyclists, young and elderly people walking, people walking their pets, other cars, etc. There's absolutely NO reason to be driving above the speed limit like that besides your own ego. It was entirely preventable and this time honestly... As calloused as it sounds, everyone is just lucky they took themselves our rather than the usual story of an innocent bystander getting killed and the moron driver surviving without a scratch.
@@brittanys505 That guy was driving like a 100 within the city when he was stopped, no normal person would get mad at the officer in this case if he arrested him, only the butthurt speedsters who think the rules don't apply for them. The people would be mad if a cop arrests someone driving like 10 mph above the limit because that's an overkill, but the speed limit within a city on a commercial road is normally between 30 and 40 so that guy drove at least 60m0h above the limit.
I’m a welder and there’s always been talk of how much money you can make doing under water welding. This last story is insanely terrible. I couldn’t imagine the insane desperation these men felt being trapped. They were just left for dead. It’s so heartbreaking.
terrible fact: in the US, on average, underwater welders make $21 an hour, which is awful pay when you consider the job risks. for context, my friend works at the airport in atlanta literally pushing people around in wheelchairs and he makes $18 an hour. the biggest safety risk he faces is an angry or intoxicated handicapped person
@@misseselise3864 Risk rarely seems calculated for occupations in the US, it's really gross, the only risk they care about is a risk to a shrinking profit margin (But still gargantuan profit)
The last story about the pipe tragedy makes me so sad and so physically ill, I cannot imagine what Christoper must go thru thinking of his friends/colleagues being left for dead in that pipe for days waiting for rescue that was never going to arrive. How on earth was this company cleared of any wrongdoing? That was murder imo. I think it’s amazing they survived that incident from the beginning with a broken leg and broken foot only to be intentionally starved to death afterward. There is a special place for the people that stood by and did nothing to save these men!
Usually when it comes to these vids I'm like an emotionless robot. But that second story, seeing that car fly off the cliff actually sent shivers down my spine and the way you told this story... Damn, I don't know how you do it but you're good at this.
Both the LoveParade case and the Paria case reminded me of the movie NOPE, in the scene where people are abducted by suction, screaming for their lives, and being crushed between themselves.
The fact that I didn’t even acknowledge that the suitcases were there frightened me. Also I’m pretty sure I see 2 the one you pointed out and the other in the water near the shore at 20:40 (Not so sure if that is a suitcase)
I live in Germany and can add something to the Love Parade section. Police were ordered to keep people in the sections no matter what. Anyone trying to climb out of there over the barricades was beaten back down.
@@germanyoutubedeutschland9899 apparently they expected people to get rowdy and go places they werent supposed to? idk, my father told me about it because he had friends that went there who witnessed it
I was around 13 when it happened, but now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure I also remember them not being allowed to leave the sections as well. My dad was watching it on the news and he was angry about it or sth.
That Red Lake story was crazy, the fact that she was right next to that dead body is chilling. Also she literally said it smelled like death, now idk what the minerals smelled like, but it's still chilling that she said that
How is he gonna be driving 100mph, almost hit a cop and a person, be seen by witnesses, get off easy with some tickets, and then do it again even worse minutes later? So heartbreaking for that cop and the victim’s families. The Paria pipeline incident is the saddest thing I’ve seen in a long time, truly horrific. They were tapping for two days stuck in there and they didn’t even make an effort. I love your videos, this one really fkd me up
Cop was too busy trying to sympathize with the idiot driver, he even said "he's probably just trying to impress the girl." He put being a bro ahead of common sense and upholding the law. He should of arrested that kid, towed the car and drove the girl home or had her parents pick her up. Can you imagine how her parents must feel knowing the cops let the kid keep driving knowing he had no regard for their daughter's life? Instead he tried being a wingman and is now responsible for their deaths.
As someone who lives in Duisburg near where the devastating tragedy of the love parade occurred, it is painfully eerie to walk there. There is a memorial in the middle commemorating the lives lost and on the walls are white chalk/paint outlines of how close the people were standing next to each other. Regardless of what you believe in, the suffering and hopelessness is still palpable in the energy of the tunnel. Waking through there, you feel claustrophobic because the ceilings are low, wide, and arched. It's mostly concrete with few openings close to the center. It's also relatively dark with limited airflow. This heartbreaking tragedy affects lives of so many here.
As disturbing as it sounds to walk through, I think it's beautiful how the community has commemorated the victims and refuse to let the story fade away with time. Much love to you and to all those connected to the tragedy
I have never felt more affected by one of these segments than the Paria Pipeline incident. Something like that happening in the first place is one of the worst possible things I can imagine, and hearing them speak to each other from inside the pipe sent a shiver down my spine. I was so relieved to hear one of them got out, but I literally can’t describe the emotion that overcame me when you began to say that there was no attempt to rescue the rest. A youtube video has never made me cry that fast. I can’t imagine the excruciating pain and horror those four men felt, and they were stuck in there feeling them for so, so long. Paria is pure fucking evil for not even trying to do anything about it. They were alive and suffering but every company that size cares too damn much about risking their profits to give a single fuck about the well-being of their employees. I pray that Chris is doing okay these days. Going through the ordeal in the first place is one thing, but living your life with not only that, but knowing that you couldn’t save your friends from the worst death imaginable no matter how hard you tried has got to be a nightmare. Thank you for making these videos and making us aware of these stories and their victims. Great work as usual.
@@neo-filthyfrank1347”lmao at crying to a RU-vid video” I know right. Imagine being able to empathise with others . Better to have a cold heart like you.
From my perspective (I also visited this lake in 2017, including the shore) - it’s not as horrifying as the fact that such terrible things happened in such a calm place. This motherfucker was the first (!) serial killer in the modern history of Cyprus, and I hope he rots in prison without anyone following in his footsteps.
How come they were able to fish out their bodies after they stopped making noise and not even attempt to rescue them?? That just sounds suspicious. If the bodies were able to be recovered when they were dead, how come they weren’t able to be recovered when they were alive? This story genuinely made me sick to my stomach
The paria pipeline incident really infuriates me. I find it hard to believe there was absolutely nothing they could do unless they didn’t want to spend millions of dollars digging up the pipeline. You can earn the money back, but you can’t bring back individuals. And for TWO WHOLE DAYS they listened to them banging on the pipeline. Truly horrifying and disgusting that paria never faced any legal consequences. I hope those higher ups never get a good night sleep again.
The lives of the rural poor Indian people in that country have never been valued and this incident exemplifies it. RIP to those young men who took risky jobs rather than to be unemployed.
I am completely baffled at the last story, why was there no search efforts made by police or anyone involved? It breaks my heart what those other trapped men had to go through in their last hours. I hope their family sued the fuck out of that company.
Who would they have sent in there to rescue them? They ARE the people trained to go down there. It's a sad situation but its what they signed up for at the end of the day. Risking the lives of other people who are not trained for this dangerous environment is a mathematically bad move. There is a reason jobs like that get paid so well..
@@wandererfoolish5126 they were trained to dive and repair. not go through the pipes, not execute emergency rescue and navigate dangerous situations. There ARE people trained for disasters and sea rescue/medical aid. It was not the victims; they wouldn't have even been equipped to handle this situation if it was someone else, let alone the only ones possible with some sort of underwater training. Military, for one. Aquatic first responders (such as Coast Guard in the US). Paria had TWO DAYS to figure out something but instead they just waited for them to die. Two days, they could have called for emergency help. Two days, they could have tried to at least get the men some oxygen. Two days without even attempting to communicate to them
@@SkiTheGOAT sarahfunk I think; when her husband joked about it being a murder site where the couple goes to the red lake and nobody ever sees them again
I also visited Mitsero lake with my family in 2017. That day the water was dark brown instead of red, which almost disappointed us then, but even so, the place was really eerie - abandoned buildings near the road, not a single person around, the scorching sun and a strong smell of sulfur coming from the lake. I don’t remember if we joked about it then, but this trip left us a disturbing impression even before the story of these murders surfaced.
That first video deeply stabbed me in the chest. The officer was a Genuine kind one and yet again the Guy didn't listen to the Officer warning him to "Becareful driving". The Officer is really in deep trauma at this point.
Also, One thing of note from the “Dash Cam” chapter, Toyota/Lexus had a recall around that time for the floor mats getting stuck on the accelerator pedal of the car causing it to uncontrollably take off at full throttle. I bet 100% that what happened is the floor mat pinned the throttle and sent the car off the cliff. There was another story on Nexpo’s channel about the same thing on another Toyota where it was sent off the road at full speed killing all occupants of the vehicle. Ladies & Gents, be sure to check your floor mats before driving, and make sure they sit FLAT on your floors, regardless of what car you own
This is why you’re my favorite, you know that disturbing isn’t just screaming and gruesome stuff, but stuff that makes you question your existence and shakes you to your core. Happy Halloween, bro!
That last story is a whole different level of disturbing. I'm sorry you had to go through that, Chris. My prayers are with you and your friends' family. I cannot believe Paria waited for these men to die. I cannot believe the anguish of the men trapped in the pipe left to suffocate and die of thirst. Rest in peace.
The Paria incident's ending had me absolutely flabergasted. Why would the company do this? Then I remembered it's an oil company run by demons and I felt silly for even wondering why they did nothing.
@@1758"hmm people died at the hands of a company's heartless choice I wonder if this will cause people to realize that industries such as the oil industry dont see workers as people and o- oh, no wait theyre somehow pulling nazi talking points"
@@1758I mean there’s not much really Jewish about this, but there is something fairly American on being so hellbent about oil that you neglect and ultimately kill your employees.
As a claustrophobe, this one is definitely nightmare-inducing. Both the German concert and the pipeline incident gave me severe anxiety. Thank you for the awesome work as always Nick
I‘m german. And the "Love Parade" event, which took place in Duisburg in 2010, was a complete disaster. Everything was cut corners in terms of organization. And today, nobody is taking responsibility for this incident. Unfortunately, it often feels like things are only improved in certain areas in Germany if a dramatic event has occurred beforehand...
Regarding the last case: why didn't they try using a drain snake or something similar to reach the workers? They could have possibly latched onto it and been pulled out. The way they just resigned to the situation is absolutely incomprehensible.
The last one was so heartbreaking and so infuriating, I feel for Chris and how he must have felt after all the incident, the fact that Paria just left them to die and still wasn't charged for it it's just so enraging
Companies that are able to get away with things like this are actually unbelievable to me. This is partly why stories like this need to continue to be told and not forgotten by the public, as they are just SO awful.
They’re allowed because they hide behind the entity that is the company. They will wrap it up in court and argue that the safest option was to do nothing. “If we send 1 more down we could have an extra death”. No one can prove its a lie or a fact, so rather than try and help they do nothing. By hiding behind a company and making absolutely no decision, it means they personally cant be held accountable, and no one wants to put their name to it. Its an absolute disgrace
Doesn’t help that they recovered the bodies five days later. Like, they couldn’t have done that five days earlier when they were still alive? What was the difference? If it was so “dangerous” they wouldn’t have recovered the bodies at all. It’s so disgusting
The anger I felt when I found out they never bothered to save the men in the Paria Pipeline incident is astounding. Those men for days were banging on the walls of the pipe, desperate for help with no response.
Came here to say that im a recent follower and subscriber of yours Nick due to how your stories remind me of Mr Ballen. So glad I found your channel and expanding my podcast experiences with even more dark and mysterious content!
The pipe incident makes my blood boiling. They could've rescued them! They could've done anything to save them! They weren't in a position that's impossible to save them.
If they could retrieve the bodies later they could have retrieved them straight away. Was the survivor the only one who wanted to help them. The person who said no to dangerous should have been accountable for their deaths. As one man proved by getting out it was still possible. So upsetting to watch and listen to!
It drove the public here insane as well. The company is widely despised. But due to their government contacts & corruption there hasn't been any further action.
The paria incident made me cry omg... Those poor poor men, and I can't imagine how Chris felt knowing he was the only one to survive while no one else bothered to help the others. I feel so awful for them, may they rest in peace.
How big is it of a coincidence that seven murders happened and seven dead bodies were found inside the one lake that was colored blood-red by a natural phenomenon, and is literally named "Blood Lake"? I cannot stress this enough. Also, my heart stopped when you said that there was a suitcase right in front of where Sarah was sitting. Great video.
What do you mean by coincidence? I genuinely don't understand the tone of the comment. How likely is a serial killer to dump bodies in a place many people don't go to, is toxic to get into and is highly likely not to be searched? I'd wager very much so.
@@dyingofdioxide But rhetorically, it would be a useless comment, right? "I cannot stress enough how much it is not a coincidence that a serial killer hides the bodies of their victims to a remote, hidden, and difficult to access area". Not exactly novel information as a rhetorical comment, which is why I was confused by the tone. It's like commenting under a song to go "How big of a coincidence is it that this artist uses multiple instruments, songwriting and a sequence of chords to construct a piece of music?"
@@Banned4Life people write "useless" comments all the time, and it's not like the creator or anybody actually important reads every comment anyway so it doesn't really matter. importance lies in the eyes of the perceiver; you could even say all comments are unnecessary, but factually there are no "novel" comments
it takes a lot to shock me nowadays but the paria incident truly did, how they were able to let four men die is just beyond me. what christopher must be going through, survivors guilt and knowing he promised he would go back and help them, and then being unable to, just shatters me. my heart breaks for christopher and the victims' families
The Pipe incident makes me mad as hell! Breaks my heart for the men who died in the pipe. What the company did is EVIL! They will rot in hell for this. I feel bad for Chris hope he is okay. Imagine making it out of the pipe alive just to see that your company is not lifting a finger to rescue your friends. It could’ve been you who is still stuck down there and the these f****** asshole do absolutely nothing. Ohhhhhhh makes my blood boil. I mean even if you survive, you have to live with that. That would haunt me for the rest of my life. I hope the knocking sounds will haunt the people who didn’t do anything to help these men get out of the pipe in their dreams for the rest of their lives. This is pure EVIL!!! 🤬
Its not often that these incidents leave me feeling hopeless but that last story will definitely stick with me for awhile. My heart is with all the victims and their families
This legit left me angry knowing how scummy the company was and they didn't get punished? I hope Chris and the families can seek some justice ine day if they haven't
I am from Cyprus and the Red Lake story shook the whole island. Metaxas was the first serial killer ever in Cyprus and we are not used to these kind of atrocities.People who knew and worked with the murderer shocked deeply and they described him as a very polite and kind person.He chose poor immigrant women and unfortunately he killed their small children.Police in Cyprus didn't bother to investigate the missing women because they were immigrants and this gave to the killer the advantage to continue his killing spree.If mother nature didn't give us a lot of rain that year and flooded the mines who knows how many victims would be killed until they discover him.Tragic also that the killer his self was married and he had 2 children.
If that flood hadn’t happened, several more could’ve died, and with more years of having no floods, the killer could’ve died before the bodies would be discovered.
@@NodeCodes There is not a ''Turkish part'' in Cyprus my friend.Turkey invaded the island in 1974 and took by force almost half the country .The only country in Europe that is still under occupation and divided illegally .
28:07 I remember hearing updates on this while driving home from school and the weeks to follow. Some stuff that was not mentioned in the video: -after the incident, the families had gathered outside the company's headquarters to demand the divers rescue. The company did not allow them inside even when it started raining and only set up a tent. -There was an outcry for the company to stop production to focus on saving the divers, they refused I wish my country's legal system wasn't shit.
Wow… even if it was utterly hopeless, at least go down there and make an effort. I can’t imagine the pain of knowing there’s potential for my loved one to be saved and the only one capable of that wouldn’t even try, or even speak to me face to face. I know automobile companies have a % of cars that they are willing to be defective because paying out lawsuits for crashes- even fatalities- is more cost effective than spending the resources to more thoroughly test. I wonder if a similar principle went into play here.
