- Although the stories in this video don’t involve natural caves, there are some man-made caves where incidents have occurred that are just as horrifying as anything to occur in a natural cave. So, as always, viewer discretion is advised.

The hoistman who refused to leave mayhave failed but he is a true hero for trying to save his friends in the face of death.
To make it even worse, more may have survived if he had left… he did the right thing, but if people thought they had no chance of escaping up, they might have gone to the bunker
I think if there could've been a way to switch people manning the hoist and to limit two lifts per conductor change to minimize risk of death and thus a failed rescue.
Not shitting on the dead guy, he was indeed brave, I just wonder if anyone wondered about that possibility during the panic.
Smh seriously
The air was so bad that miners were dropping dead in a very short amount of time. There is a good documentary on Sunshine Mine. We actually now have sealable compartments that keep hoistmen safe from bad air because of Sunshine.
A hero kills 90 people purely because they're stubborn?
Oh god that last story... It really seems like the universe had something against those parents. I hope they have good support, how someone can live after this much tragedy is amazing.
I can't imagine losing a child once, but to have to endure that pain again so shortly after especially when the second death was so easily preventable, it was such a small opening, all the cousin needed to do was install a cover or lid, or even just build a small enclosure to keep anyone or anything from falling in, I mean it wasn't 100 years ago it was literally 4 or 5, it would've been so easy.
@SevenGC89 It’s easy to say what should have been done. Details begin to slip as time passes. Urgency turns to negligence.
I put the parents at greater fault. I watched my siblings like a hawk, especially when out. Some people are just never meant to be parents. They should have learned that. When you become a parent, your life is OVER. It’s the child’s now until maybe 14, then it’s 95% theirs.
I don't think anyone is to blame here. Sometimes bad things just happen.
In some rural areas, it's normal for people to dig wells. Should they have covered it? Yes, but if they didn't have children themselves in the property, their mind might have skipped that detail.
Parents should watch their children when they're playing outside. Should they have watched him better? Yes, but a child can disappear in five seconds and then it's too late.
This all very much strikes me as tragedy, two seemingly stupid instances of "I didn't think that would happen" leading to the worst possible end.
I find the last story to be a reminder to love and spend our precious time with those we love, rather than being stuck in the past, over people or things we lost.
I can't imagine what that mother went through, but I wonder if she regrets not being more present for her second son while he was alive.
Again, I don't criticize her; I have no idea how I would react under similar circumstances.
lolwut? the universe had something against the kid, tf you talking about
So sad for the last couple. At least the little boy in the hole had died on impact, not suffered and starved alone and terrified down there in the cold and dark. I hope that gives his parents at least a crumb of comfort.
That last story was just brutal. I feel so sorry for that family. Suffering back to back to back tragedies like that. I wouldn't call it a "Cave Exploring Gone Wong" story though.
It was a brief exploration.
The last story seemed more suited for the horrible fates series. Nonetheless still a horrifying tragedy, R.I.P.
What the hell is it with young human children and their unstoppable ability to find the only hole in a wide field and fall into it?
@@puck4801It is the human nature.
@@TinyGreyOwl Ah, humans. Truly the pinnacle of... _something._
The third story shows how bad life can simply be. Losing three out of three children, that is the worst thing I've ever heard. I know this story from when it happened and back then it was already so sad. Even thinking about it is depressing.
I know life isn't a misery contest, one person's ice isn't colder than another's, as they say about tragedy, but I am constantly reminded of the saddest mother i had ever heard of, a woman in an African country who lost 10 or 12 infants shortly after birth, the exact cause escapes me now but it was something that the Western first-world medical system had alrdy fixed. So to be in the situation of not even being able to prevent each tragic pregnancy, or find out what was going wrong, but the whole time there was a simple solution. It was simply a world away, in a world out of reach. Is it harder to look at that, or a mother who loses child after child to different unpredictable tragedies? As they just slip through her fingers, like trying to build a castle with dry sand.
Sentience means suffering, and suffering proves sentience, better than play, truss bridge design, or crop rotation. Aren't we lucky?
@@cleanserene6330 It is called evolution. Strong survive weak die.
People are governed by chance. Not a thing you can do about it.
What you described is extremelly common in nature. Nothing objectively tragic about it. People just got too civilized and used to multiplying freely.
@@cleanserene6330you are right, we must appreciate our life and be thankful right now, no matter what. No matter what you still have not done, what you plan to do, stop and look around and smile for what is around you. Now Imagine you lost it all and read this comment again. It’s not a bad life. There may be bad days, but really it’s not a bad life..right?
@@cleanserene6330I ain’t reading all that
My absolute nightmare as a parent for sure
That second story is infuriating. So often, it's some greedy asshole/company flouting safety regulations to get a bit more money that leads to death and destruction for so many.
The managers should have been charged for murder rather than just "negligence".
Greed caused those deaths.
@@norwegianboyee "criminal negligence" is basically a murder that wasn´t planned and did happend thanks to your bad conscious leadership/management errors.
People don't learn, again and again greed cause this kind of tragedy and people just keep doing it.
To be fair, no one had to die if the rescue operation also wasn't crap.
@@norwegianboyeecalm down
It is absolutely tragic to lose a child in a well. Here in Portugal, especially in rural areas it was normal to dig wells. The worst thing was to leave them abandoned and drowning accidents occurred when least expected. Fortunately, a law was put into effect whereby all wells without exception had to be covered and in the best case sealed. My heart goes out to the victims and their families. Let's hope this doesn't happen again today.
@@TheDogGoesWoof69 Why are you asking a person that lives in Portugal what Mexico thinks? They're an ocean apart.
Hey have a question-How do you guys know that the water will be good and clean enough before you dig a well? I don’t understand why was the father dealing with the well if they were just on a picnic? Why did he need that well if they were going to be there temporarily? Is it that simple to dig a well just for a day?
Yeah, abandoned super deep holes in the ground... what could possibly go wrong?
@@TheDogGoesWoof69Troll account.
@@TheDogGoesWoof69 Living up to your username, I see.
I've climbed mountains and dove shipwrecks in blue water but thanks to your content, I'm good on never going cave exploring.
Cave exploring is fine. Water caves are an entirely different animal.
I'm a caver, its actually relatively safe unless you make stupid decisions. Never cave alone, always wear safety gear, always have three sources of light, and always have an outside contact that knows where you are and when you expect to be out and contact them. I went caving with a couple buddies when it was raining hard and the cave started to flood, it was a terrifying experience getting out. Other than that, caving has been an amazing experience for me.
@@ZoliroAstro uh huh. Tell that to the many people still underground.
there are plenty of tragic mountain and diving stories, I've been potholing and climbing , never again, and I will never go diving either
@@Augustbeauty69 did you know the biggest number of incidents and deaths happen in people's own houses. :D
The man in the first story that stayed behind to get other miners up is a hero ❤️
The way I heard it, if he hadn’t refused to stop going down, someone else could’ve taken over and many more people would have survived. In a massive mine like this, there isn’t only a single person who knows how to operate the elevator. Sometimes, situations require less heroes and more people with brains.
My neighbor worked in the Sunshine Mine in the 70s and lost three fingers to mining equipment. He just happened to have the day off when the tragedy struck.
Years ago in Death Valley I entered an abandoned mine to look around. It was crazy. Right out of Indiana Jones. The entrance had a grid of chains across it, but we dug underneath the sand and slipped in. Walked in a ways with our flashlights, then saw a tunnel to the left, with an old rusty, decrepit narrow gauge railroad track that disappeared down and around a curve. Unbelievable. We kept going straight until far enough in that when we turned off the flashlights you could not see your hand directly in front of your eyes. That was it for me, backed up and out of there. Very dangerous. Very.
Good thinking if you were not fully prepared or experienced😊 I've never even seen a mountain, let alone a mine or cave. But they absolutely fascinate me
As adventuring in old mines go, I say you guys actually did it the right way. You turned around when you were no longer comfortable walking. People get into very dangerous situation by pushing themselves onward. Even further you have to be on your guard at all the times, in a abandoned mine; because the darkness has a way of playing tricks on your eyes. Sometimes what looks like a shallower dip in the ground, is actually a 100 ft drop.
Edited: because I keep forgetting to check on autocorrect.
I went into an old abandoned mine in alaska a couple months ago, in total it has around 200 miles of tunnels over 14 levels I think. I went through 4 levels and was in for over 10 hours, place was insane.
I bet it was welcome respite from the sun atleast
Been there, done that. In the late 60s or early 70s as a kid, we would visit Death Valley a lot from L.A. Damn it, spacing the exact name of the place but was, prob is still, an active tourist place (starts with "S"? that helps.). At any rate, we went camping outside in the canyons and came into a valley that was polka-dotted with open mines. I think it was in those that we went in and almost fell right into an open shaft that had zero railings or hint it existed. Wanted to go back for years but bet all have been filled years ago.
Same outside Phoenix ... we climbed down one old ladder that went so far down, we could not hear each other calling out when separated on that ladder. Recall vast areas of open diggings, some just parallel to the surface with open holes to the sky. It was in one of those that I saw what I thought to be an old felt hat on a rock pile in the sunbeams. Reaching down to grab it but having it suddenly stand up and race away. Big tarantula.
The last story was so heartbreaking... Reminds me why when buying my home we insisted that the sellers bring the well cap up to code. It was our only hard sticking point on the inspection report. So scary!
Did you check it for children's remains
The guy pleading guilty so they wouldn't have to go through a trail as well. Low key hero I rekn, 800k of debt

@@TraditionRootsI love your channel bio.
On the podcast channel on Spotify he made an announcement that 2 uploads a week will become semi-regular from now on
Thanks for the extra upload!
Poor Victoria, I can't imagine such tragedies.
I agree, to lose one child is so hard, then to lose another before even getting to know them, and finally losing their son to something that could have so easily been prevented is tragic. I hope the family can one day heal, though I know the scars will always remain, I hope they are at least doing better now.
Edit: to fix my bad spelling mistakes.
Must be even harder to LOSE a child. Loose is the opposite of tight.
@---nd2yx sorry, thank you for correcting me, I have dyslexia so I often mess up words not realising it.
And the father too....?
you should really name the rescuers, especially if they passed. it’s a way to honor their memory and sacrifice, and it gives more information for the video

the first story where the man hosting the lads up refused to leave is truely amazing a true man rip
Well done as always! After exploring abandoned underground mines for many years, one of the most clear takeaways is how dangerous mining was prior to the 1980’s. Mining is still extremely dangerous, but has gotten much better. There was a fire in the Lucky Friday Mine THIS YEAR, just a few miles from the Sunshine Mine - thankfully no one died, in part due to modern safety guidelines.
That last story is so devastating for that family. I cannot imagine experiencing and being around the death of multiple children at different moments of your life :(
It must be so hard for that man to live knowing 10 men died to to save his life. He must feel so guilty, even though of course he is not to blame.
Oh man … I have friend that used to work at the Sunshine Mine. His dad was on one of the teams that had to recover the dead miners. He would never talk about it though. It’s crazy to see the details. Tragic event, I didn’t expect to hear about it on this video …
I liked this one! Not any social media influcuencer tricks, no interruptions about sponsors, or anything. Just plain old good story telling 👌👌💕
One of my best friends lives right next to the old offices of the Sunshine Mine. Both he and his dad worked for Sunshine at one time or the other. That fire really decimated the entire area and there were two or even three generations of men that died in that single day. It was a high percentage of the men in that small rural area. There's a beautiful statue and plaque commemorating the men that were lost in that terrible fire. What a terrible tragedy.
This channel has quickly grown into one of my favorite channels (the few i actively check for new videos). Keep up the good work!
it’s crazy how much he’s blown up too, interesting how many of us like to hear about death
Agreed!
That last story. I have lost children and anyone who hasnt cant possibly imagine the pain. I hope they are somehow ok.
I hope they are ok and I hope you are ok too.
❤❤❤
Much love ❤ I hope you are ok too
I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine. Like the person above commented, I hope you’re okay as well. Love from a stranger
Very sorry to hear that and hoping you're doing okay nowadays!
Second story, im a local there, the miners actualy complained for weeks before the collapse about cracking sounds and leaking watter which got pumped out, they where more or less forced to go back to work or they loose there jobs.
The guy they hoisted out still lives around here, he cannot sleep in the dark anymore since then and still got nightmares of it. Truly horrific and all because of greed.
P.s forgive if my english is bad, not my native language.
As a father, the thought of my child trapped alone in a dark scary place crying, 30 seconds away from death, is completely unbearable.
If I can take any solace at all, it's that it was over quickly. And I sincerely hope the boy was too young to fully understand the level of grave danger he was in before he died.
I know man , it breaks my heart. I am sure it was over quickly. He didn't deserve that. But I take solace in knowing he is in heaven. Or at least some form of it. His mother will find him when she passes.
I went and read the Wikipedia artcile on this incident. The real story raises some possible parenting red flags, and leaves the door open for even possible foul play. So the real story made me feel a little better than this over-dramatized version at least.
@@nampyeon635 I'm definitely going to have to go read the wikipedia article when I feel less horrible from hearing the version here, I don't think I've ever held my son so tight after hearing something like that.
I grew up in Nevada. We knew that running around like mad men was dangerous because there were shafts that go straight down with no warning.
I never ever ever step foot in a mine.
Didn't expect a story so close to home. Here in North Idaho we're still mining silver to this day. I've been in some of those "spent" mines and it is incredibly claustrophobic
That last one had me in tears. As a father, I’d 100% end it, I couldn’t bare that.
I absolutely love the storytelling and amount of information in it. It brings the story to life, thanks for the extra uploads btw!
I remember Lassing really well, I was a child back then. Luckily they found Georg Hainzl and it was all over the news, everyone was so happy he survived. For a while all of Austria was hoping against hope that some of the rescuers could be saved but unfortunately no, that was terrible.
The second story is scary because talc mines are already super unstable, adding another level was a huge mistake
And of course earth gets heavier when you add water to it. It sounds like they didn't account for that at all since it wasn't an abnormally heavy rain.
Bro please continue to upload these videos It literally helps spread awareness when it comes to cave exploring!. I literally listen to your podcast while I'm working at my job. That sound in the baccground Always amuses me and absolutely keep me interested in watching. Not saying it's boring or anything. I love it 👍🏾
That last story destroys my heart, as a parent. I would absolutely die if something like that happened to either of my kids. People tease me for being “paranoid” because I hold my kids hands and always buckle them into shopping carts. 🙄 Better being “paranoid” than sitting at your child’s grave wishing you had been.
I agree. I totally teared up, that poor family to have so much tragedy. One can never be over cautious with their children.
I found that one difficult to write, and I'm battle hardened at this point!
It didn't help that my mom and brother live at the Costa, and I know that area well.
When they told the parents they'd found Julen, it's said that his father hollered "¡Oh Dios! ¡No otra vez! ¡No otra vez! (Oh God! Not again! Not again!)" Such a sad story.
what do you mean to write? are you a writer for scary interesting?@@horrourstories
Not letting your child fall into an open well that you've been told is there isn't paranoid; that's just good parenting.
This surprise upload is definitely a lovely way to end the day...
Wouldn't necessarily call it ’lovely’, but hey...
a non sunday upload? yay. something to watch at work
i hope you do extra uploads more often 😃
This is your boss. Plz get back to work. I'm watching you. 🤣
dam bro you’re at work? i been up for days, i jjst gottta watch this to have some interestingly disturbing dreams
I’ve never felt so thankful to be alive. Started watching this amazing channel 2 weeks ago. So interesting, but also a lot of these are cautionary tales that we can learn from. My heart drops and my face makes a pained face whenever I think of the family members
And folks this is why my hobbies are golf, pickup basketball with my buddies and paintballing. This cave/diving shit is wayy to dangerous for my liking
Hands down my favorite series on CZcams. Keep up the good work SI!
Hey Sean, I love your videos. They are extremely informative and well made.
I try and watch your long videos instead of the short form videos (like reels and shorts) present on different platforms.
This really helps me pay attention for a longer period of time without getting over-stimulated, thank you!
That was last story was so awful...as a new parent I can't imagine going through that. I honestly wish I hadn't heard it.
Ya Iam pretty annoyed that he included it
So sad about the other men but I was so anxious for George to make it. What a harrowing story. Wonderful as usual
Liked before even listening... I know these stories will be great.
Same, you can always dislike if the video isn't good but like that'll ever happen? =)
I really can’t imagine how difficult life must’ve living in those times. Imagine how many more mining accidents happened back then that were lost in time…
This is one of my favorite channels. Thank you for the AWESOME content you put out 😊
I'm so proud that they could stay strong for their boys. I'll be honest, I wouldn't have been able to stay strong. I likely wouldn't be alive still after losing all my kids 😢
I gotta tell you, I check every other day or so and am always surprised to see you've kicked out yet another quality upload. Keep it up man!
My dad's a miner, and hearing stories like this makes me thankful for all the harsh rules they have
The couple in the last story is far stronger than I. As a father, I don't think I could bear going through half of what they had to endure.
I love your caving videos! You're a great narrator
Keep up the great work!
Regarding the last story - i dont understand how men can be so neglectful, leaving remote wells without some type of lid or metal grid put on them to prevent humans and animals from falling inside them. Not only that child's death was easily preventable, but accidental deaths like that all around the world are easily preventable by putting such a simple thing as lid or metal grid on the wells.
I wish you could post more often, these stories amaze me. There are so many mining stories out there, cave diving and spelunking, I am sure you could post a ton more stuff. Not being critical at all, just really enjoy these stories and hate waiting for the next post. I enjoy the attempted cover-ups that get caught with the greedy employers trying to leach every last drop from their workers and then pay a huge price for their negligence and avarice. My favourite and not in a fun way was the Byford-Dolphin incident and other deep sea incidents that have occured.
I remember watching the live news,of all the miners trapped,in SA,I think Chile. They survived, but stuck below surface ,80+ days. Happened mid 2000s.
Another crazy good video by our man Sean. I've been in situations like this as my time as a miner. We used to get rooms of ARs on hand for situations like this. No time to hesitate, we would just move from room to room, performing our sweep and clear movements to ensue that we held the line - we do our job well
The last one... Nobody would've begrudged the parents if they would've broken after that. The fact that they stayed together and (hopefully) find some comfort...
just wanted to commend you on your Vincent Li podcast episode; I thought you presented everything with thoughtfulness and empathy, which is refreshing considering that so many people in Canada reject his NCR ruling and want him to be locked up forever. It's a truly tragic case, and I think you did a terrific job sharing it.
love YOUR stories, I try to get more and have tried lotssss of other channels, but there is something about ur narration, tone, and background music that makes me feel like its happening live. KEEP IT UPPPP (but dont burn out too stay healthy)
As a gravel miner I find these kinds of stories pretty interesting. It's a really sobering reminder about quickly thing's can go bad.
I know of another mining disaster that you could consider covering. I do believe it happened sometime around the 1920/1930s. It was the Springhill, Nova Scotia, Canada Mining disaster. Many men were trapped underground for days and some never made it out of the mine after the disaster happened. What caused the disaster if I recall correctly was something the miners called a “bump”, it is where the floor of the mine rises up to the ceiling of the mine. My Grandfather on my father’s side of the family worked in another local coal mine in the Town of River Hebert, which is now a small community and a shadow of what it once was. There should be lots of information on the Springhill disaster to find online. There is also a miners museum in the small community of Springhill itself, it is only open during the summer months and there is still a section of the mine open where a tour guide will take you down to a point where they turn of the lights so you get to experience the type of darkness those trapped miners had to experience until the ones that were rescued, were saved, while sadly others died slowly from starvation/wounds and other that were arguably more lucky died instantly. In the province of Nova Scotia, Canada there was a really recent coal mining disaster that happened in the late 1990s in the town New Glasgow, Nova Scotia. Unfortunately everyone in that disaster died and it happened so to a coal dust based explosion. I remember it because one of the girls in my class during high school lost high uncle in that disaster. I still remember the call that got her to go to the office and then when she returned to class to get her stuff in order for her to leave. She was crying so hard and for most of us that was the first time in our lives we had seen someone going through the loss of someone they were very close to due to a tragedy or even just normal causes like old age. I do believe it was grade seven when it happened. There is a rich coal mining history in the province of Nova Scotia that can be explored. With that all said thanks again for another interesting video guy. Keep up the great work. Cheers!!!
Thanks for the extra! This channel quality of videos is remarkable, every time. ❤
I feel so bad for Victoria, I couldn’t imagine that amount of loss.
there is a local disaster here kinda similar to the first and relatively close to the site ,its called the Speculator Mine disaster ,its considered the most deadly hard rock mining disaster in US history but goes pretty unnoticed despite the cost in human life being so horrible ,and the whole disaster being painfully avoidable.
I like that you have multiple stories, it always seems like the first one can go on for the entire video, so I'm always in suspense as to how and where the tale might end. Nice work good sir 👏 👍 👌
Oh my word! George, you lucky, LUCKY fiend you! My gosh, that second story had me biting my nails on the edge of my seat! You tell these horrifying tales so well, Mr.NarratorMan. I cant even come close to imagining how much relief George felt upon hearing a disturbance and then to KNOW they were coming for him and that he had actually been saved.. what a relief he must've felt that evening, or.. day? I actually have no idea when they got him out... thank God tho... Rest in peace to the men lost in these tales of great sorrow and woe.
If you want more mining stories. The worst disaster in Canadian history was the Hillcrest Mine disaster in the Crowsnest pass of the Rocky Mountains. A few years later the Frank Slide mining disaster happened on the mountain next to where the Hillcrest disaster was. Both very fascinating story’s.
“And in that mine, young man, you'll find
A wealth of broken dreams --
As long and as dark and as black and as wide
As the coal in the Hillcrest seam.”
Glad you cover the background of the people in these stories, that last one especially really changes how tragic it was as if it could somehow be much worse than it already was 😢 does justice to the people who had their lives changed or ended ended by said events
I love your voice and method of story telling. You are my favorite of all story tellers!
Also the background music you use in this video is the best! It goes perfectly with the subject of stories you tell.
I find the music too loud, too repetitive, annoying, and not adding anything to the story. The delivery and content are great, but the music ruins it for me. I come back for the content, but suffer through video every time, promising myself not to do that again. But again, content is great.
I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I don't find the music overcomes his voice narrating, but adds a soothing background. I find this significantly better than silence. It's my favorite background music to a scary interesting story narration!
@@OstensibleCrustacean I also hate the loud looping music it’s so distracting I can’t get through this video
@@OstensibleCrustacean Not to mention that it's the same or similar on numerous videos.
The last story is so heartbreaking that it‘s difficult to even imagine all the pain and grief this poor couple must have endured.
For me amongst the worst underground events is the Gresford Mining Disaster in 1934 - at Gresford, near Wrexham,North Wales. It killed 266 men and boys, and 254 bodies are still down there ☹️
There's a memorial, and I always felt sadness and a shudder anytime I walked or drove past...the conditions they worked under were horrendous, but dying down there, doesn't bear thinking about.
I believe the youngest victim was 15 years-old and the oldest 67...
This is one of my favourit channel, I always look forward to uploads
I always like the background music for these vids, it goes really well with the story.
I love this channel. Hands down one of the best!!
The pain that comes with your child dying is so unimaginable to those that have not been through this, and I hope you never do.
I love watching your videos just before bed. The earie ambience is enhanced by the darkness.
Ahhh waiting for my college class while listening to spooky stuff never felt so good
I generally hate channels that pump in anxiety inducing music, but you've found the perfect balance.
Yes!
Kid passes out and you dont worry wtf
Great channel. Last story heartbreaking 💔
I used to wonder why some moms seemed to lose their minds after losing a child. Then I became a mom. I could totally see myself stubbornly refusing to release one son’s body to doctors and talking about him all the time. If I lost both, I’d be that crazy woman wailing in the streets every night
Sad stories, but great storytelling.
that last story truly broke my heart.
George... what a BEAST.
"Not the actual person" *adds an arrow to point at the random individual*
For some reason this helps me sleep, now that im thinking about it anything cave horror related helps me sleep.
Legit thought something weird had happened and I double checked the date lol. The extra video is great!
Goddamn that last story, wew. You do a great job with this channel and I really enjoy your videos, hard as they may be to watch. I hope you find lots of success and keep up the great work!
The creepy music does so much for the atmosphere of the video :)
19:52 I’m kind of conflicted about them bringing charges against the uncle or cousin or whatever. They should have been watching him, and usually after losing a child, parents actually get far too overly protective. The well probably should have been better secured, but he shouldn’t be found at fault just because he didn’t get permits to dig the well. The opening is 10”, and if he didn’t have kids, he had no reason to suspect anything could get in there, especially since he had taken measures to keep wild animals out. If the parents were indeed aware the well was there, the uncle really doesn’t bear any blame. There are fatal dangers all around, and a parent’s responsibility to make sure kids are kept from them until they’re old enough to do so themselves. It’s tragic, but it was an accident. And having him pay for the city’s rescue efforts is just silly. Would they have done that had the boy been found alive? They should have retrieved the boy regardless, but they also should have known he passed immediately, given the depth of the hole.
The last story nearly broke me. These stories are too much sometimes. I'm far from squeamish, but that last one is utterly heart breaking.
Love your storytelling my dude
I loved the history of the sunshine mine. Awesome 🙂
Saw this, saw Wednesday, but realized it was new content! What a nice surprise.
No joke, I recently watched every one of your vids and it’s got me kinda feening for daily vids🤣 I know that’s unsustainable though haha
YAAHHHHHHSSSSSSSSS I was going through all of your cave diving videos just yesterday and was soooo sad I’d already watched them all 😂😅😂 I'm a total nerd for your videos; I swear, haha
I am from Austria and remember quite well the media coverage of the case of Lassing, though I was about 13. I can remember, that George was asked what he wished now the most, shortly after rescued and the answered a meal his - I think - grandmother supposed to cook for him. If it wasn't for the ten dead other miners, this could be such a sweet anekdote. I always hoped, he never felt guilty about the other ten loosing their life in pursuit of rescue his.
This channel, mr ballen, and fascinating horror keep me going
Bro I look foward to your videos they make my week lol 😂
Great vid, thanks for the upload :)
I am from Spain and I remember when Julen fell into that well, it was heartbreaking and the whole country was shocked
