Did not expect Truly Criminal to cover one of my country's bizarre crimes to ever happen. Great job with the video though!
@@ukdondappa thats not cool
@@kimmyfreak200 ???
When that happened??
...in the Philippines
@@joseluisbalam it's in the description.
@@joseluisbalam it was stated at 1:10
I'm not familiar with this story so I look forward to your coverage. You're the absolute best at telling these tragic stories. Thanks for your hard work x
Oh my god the smiths cover man likes this channel as well!
I adore this channel... this story was wild and very tragic... so much footage and its chilling u can practically feel their fear... kinda shocked i have never heard this story till now...first video i saw on TC was the case of the whitehead twins and it creeped me out...also someone commented the narrators lovely voice sounds a little like sansa stark and its so true...this channel is respectful and thorough with their research... no tacky commentary either (some channels are annoying to watch cuz if its a story u are unfamiliar with its hard to listen to their endless opinions and even hear sick jokes about it,,..,its so cringey and some channels they go on and on and on as if they are experts in crime scene analysis it gets to be rather annoying and repetitive especially the chicks that have their hair done and heavy makeup as if they are auditioning for a reality show just so much talking one channel i saw the girl talked for 3 hours lol they could talk a valium to sleep lol i wanna hear the crime story, see a few pictures, and i love the clips of the actual interrogation and court clips/trial footage.. truly criminal is probably the best true crime channel there is... and that chapter he is really good too (hehe they are both same letters abbreviation T.C.)
@@tien4930 I've been a fan of this channel for a few months now! 😎
the maguindanao massacre in philippines.more than 30 media men and women were killed and bury..
I remember this in the news back then, but I never got the full story. Seeing the security footage was extremely chilling.
You've impressed me with this narration, very well done.
These documentaries just wouldn't be the same if it wasn't for the CCTV footage. Not only do they help catch criminals, they allow us to be part of the actual events and add a very chilling and eerie atmosphere for the viewers.
Especially with that music score.
@@Jesse-B I love the music!
@@CatScreenTime I actually got a bit of adrenaline reaction.
You don't say.
Would love to see a psychoanalysis of the cctv footage. The casual way he set all of those fires… how long was he planning this?
Such an underrated channel. Always well researched and a beautiful voice to narrate. A gem of a channel. Liked and subscribed.
This is brilliant!! Thanks for covering this. I'm Filipino and I've been following you and I never thought you'd cover something from the Philippines! You are definitely my favourite channel!
WEH?
I’ve watched so many true crime shows and this is the first case I’ve come across that’s from the Philippines 🇵🇭. Thank you for covering this. I’ve never heard of it before today.
Yes me too you can try mr ballen if you love dark, strange and mysterious in story format.
@@jrchmgn. Mr. Ballen is great! One of my favorite story tellers!
I'm So Sorry For That Attack On Your Comrades...
This is the first video I’ve seen on this incident since it happened. Very well done.
Yes, it's been very under reported which is extremely disappointing. I guess unfortunately, it comes down to 'trendiness' in what news editors think people want to watch or read.
You can also watch it here. Also a well put video describing what happened. czcams.com/video/1pFsyIYLDHg/video.html
Hey!! Sorry I’ve commented on so many of your comments. But I saw your comment about your grandchildren and it’s the exact situation as me. My birth mom also had eleven children, all addicted, all taken from her. I saw on your page a child called jasper, I do know my birth mom had a jasper but I was told that he passed away at birth. I just want to know where the birth mom you’re talking about is from. I was born in Aberdeen Washington. I know it’s far fetched but I just can’t help but see way too many similarities
I remember this day like yesterday. We all thought it was a terrorist attack. This was a great coverage. Better than the local news
I remember this day too. It was such a tragic day, with many deaths that could have been prevented. Makes no sense...
Truly tragic. Malapit lang ako nung nangyari to.. Buntis pko dat tym xa anak q. Akala ko tlga nakapasok na dn ang Maute sa Manila, grbe yung takot
What are you talking about you clown
Local news only focus on politics
Duh! are you dumb? this is a documentary.. they have more time gathering information than a news outlet who has to produce the info as the event was happening. Pfff.. gtfoh!
I love the way you structure your storytelling. Hope your channel excels, you deserve it!
I remember when this happened, we later found out that one my classmate's mother died caused by fire and suffocation. It's a truly tragic happening. Things like this barely happens here in Philippines, but when it does. It's tragic
@Roth Asta whats funny
@Roth Asta thats kinda insensitive man.
@Roth Asta Dude... Thats just plain rude.
You sure about that?
The Philippines has isis fighters battling the authorizes, namely the Maute group, Abu Sayyaf group, Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters and Ansar Khalifa Philippines.
@@nunceccemortiferiscultu7826 what are you trying to say? I didn't say things like this never happen. I said, barely. Of course, what did the Maute group is a very tragic one too..
It's crimes like these that reinforce, at least in my mind, the importance of knowing your exits in public spaces, especially those that are large and/or complex. The poor victims and their families. You did an excellent job covering the events while simultaneously paying tribute to those who were effected. Thank you.
It’s sad that mass shootings and gun violence are so prevalent that this is a relevant and useful tip. I live in CO, USA. I don’t know why but we have had many high profile mass shootings in this state. And it only makes pro-gun people more pro-gun.
So my dad taught me at a young age, first thing you do in any public space is identify every exit. Obviously this tip is useful for a fire or many other emergencies, but I was taught it in the context of shootings.
@@toiletfrog it's funny how the (mostly American) logic of arming yourself cause you're scared of armed people sounds very logical yet only makes the problem worse
@@toiletfrog I'm sure having representatives like Lauren Boebert doesn't help the situation. Dumb and dangerous is a bad combination.
ok prepper.
I am an avid subscriber and a bit thrilled to have this featured on your channel. I live in the community beside Resorts World Manila. I remember this like it was yesterday. We were having drinks on the streets of Villamor, Pasay(where RWM is located) when all of a sudden, gunshots were fired. At first, we didn't think it was that serious. But more gunshots were fired and then it was on the news already. They said, Carlos killed himself inside a room in Maxims. However, people were asking if it was really him because the news coverage about the body that was found wasn't that clear and elaborate.
A guy I knew wasn't supposed to go to work that night but he was called in to replace someone. It was his daughter's birthday the next day. Sadly, he suffocated to his death that night. 😢
It was a very tragic event. Also... I still live here. Thank you for featuring this.
The hotel cameras showed him entering a room and never came out. No other extra deaths were reported aside from the poor people that suffocated from the smoke.
I don’t think Jessie wanted to commit more murders than the two he committed earlier that day.
The surveillance footage almost was like watching a action movie
Especially if there were ptz footages. But on the midst of chaos, the cctv staffs (understandably) left the office.
What a bizarre turn of events. Strange guy guess he cracked after losing his job and access to money. Tragic loss of life
Great story again. So sad what happened to those 37 people that perished for an act of selfishness and pride. I had heard bits about this story but watching your series I thought he was going to go on a shooting rampage and not set fire. Thank God he didn't go on a shooting rampage in casino though starting in the elevator all the way through. Love your channel cant wait for more!
Casino workers that tried to secure the chips should get a raise.
This channel has very fast become one of my favourite creators of true crime content (and annoyingly, I’m one of those who annoyingly say they “watch a lot of true crime!”). Really enjoy the great balance between straight forward reporting with the perfect amount of personal storytelling of the subjects. Keep it up!! And thank you :)
7:32 sorry i just couldn't stop myself from chuckling at the dealer when he gathers the chips and puts that thing back in place on the table before running for his life lol and i think that was the same table lit on fire 8:54
I used to work as a casino dealer and half of it is muscle memory (out of habit, I still show my hand when I’m a player on a table sometimes - it’s been years!!). I suspect it is because he was stunned and didn’t know how to react for a few seconds - in moments like that, your body resort to doing only things it knows to be true and correct. Kind of like when someone stands still in the face of death for a few moments before really reacting appropriately. Or he’s just the most responsible casino dealer ever 🤣
@@vnmeister9418 hehe i even said wow now thats a loyal worker! i use to have pretty bad OCD my rituals couldn't be stopped by anything even if there was a fire or earthquake it wouldn't stop me..in fact sudden stress and fear makes it worse... luckily i cured myself over time cuz it took over my life. You'd think the fear alone would be enough for fight or flight response i find it interesting the things people will do during a dangerous situation.. its not like a false alarm they heard gunshots and saw people running i'd be like fuck the chips and table its not worth it (and it was one iof the tables lit on fire) cuz those few extra seconds can make a difference if the killer is around the corner. But our minds don't really work the way we want it to we react first and theres not much time for logic or thinking.. but at least the one thing as far as survival u would think you'd just drop what u are doing and run.. I was at walmart late at night once and my friend and i were getting into our car to leave and a few seconds before that i heard yelling and cussing and i had no idea who was doing it. I started getting in the passenger side and I saw this huge crazy guy charging at me ..he was headed straight for me and he was 1 second and a few inches from getting me but my body reacted before I could even think and process what the hell just happened. I not only shut the door in time but also locked it.. he was yelling swearing and pounding on the door. My friend drove around the parking lot and and she decided to get out and she got walmart security.. the guy was Methed out and super paranoid apparently he was in that car in the backseat blocking our car and my friend was a loud and rude person and as we were walking to the car she shouted why are they blocking my car and apparently this really upset him. I did remember seeing someone flinging themselves back and forth in the backseat and freaking out. Why he charged at me was crazy cuz i didn't do anything. Anyway it was a dangerous area of town lots of crime lots of people out and about up to no good and on drugs. I was just surprised how quickly I reacted in the nick of time cuz he wanted to hurt me and his rage alone and if he was on PCP he would have killed me easily. I was even on crutches at the time and i was super small. Its amazing how we become ninjas all of a sudden when theres a threat of danger lol
Yeah, I had learned about this case only about a month or two ago... so horrific and sad! As always, you add additional background info, which I was not aware of and appreciate.
Please try to cover the MAGUINDANAO MASSACRE. The world has to know what happened
yah that will break the guy doing this channel
any politically-related killings will be very difficult, it has no proper answers, vague statements and even pointless investigations then years later it gets forgotten..
@@namelessone5968 which is why it needs to be remembered. A recorded acccount of everything we need to know about the event is also important. It has even caught the attention of the Commission on Human Rights. All the mroe reason why it deserves attention and in-depth coverage.
@@bbkoti7637 nah high chances of misinformation bro. I even think that the killers who got paid to do the job are probably dead by now to avoid loose ends. It sucks but the dude is right, politically-related killings will never have proper answers. What really happened that day and the dudes who were behind it can never be known, well except for the bosses who orchestrated and financed the crime tho. It'd be really difficult not to mention dangerous for this channel if they would dare to look up 'facts and stories' and create a video out of it
Tang inang mga pinoy to, gusto lahat ikwento tungkol sa mga pangyayare sa pinas .
Surely the chips would be worthless? I can't imagine a casino cashing those chips in after an attack like this
Must be a sunk cost thing, he was already in too deep in the robbery, so might as well take thè chips.
@Captain Eggcellent oh, undoubtedly. I highly doubt those chips would be worth anything after being burned in the fire. No casino I’ve ever been to would cash those chips in after a fire
As a Las Vegas natives, you are correct
He loses a lot. I could imagine him just taking the chips just to have the feeling of that many chips in his hand. He seemed to be a very defeated and disturbed individual. I could see it in his face as he was climbing the stairs bleeding.
I mean stealing millions in chips and then trying to burn down the casino kind of sums up this whole ordeal.
This video is amazing. The edits the music the style, I was totally hooked.
I was (proudly) one of your first subs I think, and I loved your videos right from the second I saw your one on Birna in Iceland. But to see what you’re making and producing now it’s just second to none.
I’ll wait patiently for your Netflix series 😂❤️ love you guys keep it up!!
This is actually the first time I saw all the cctv footages of the incident. I've heard of the tragedy since I live in the country but I only saw few cctv footages from news outlets. Watching all that gave me goosebumps and I hope the victims of such a senseless act rest in peace
I heard about this, but I was too busy with my studies to really follow-up on what happened. thanks for the well-researched video!
Big thanks for covering this tragedy even though I'm not fully aware of that time this took place because of studies. Great narration as usual, truly one of the underrated crime channels here in the platform. More contents to come 👍
I'm impressed with your channel and how u present your stories. You dont have to sit in front of the camera trying to be something your not. Your detail in these cases is impressive and well researched. Tks for your awesome work!!!
I’ve listened to/ watched countless true crime documentaries and podcasts and this channel is by far my favorite!
I’ve listened to/ watched countless true crime documentaries and podcasts and this channel is by far my favorite. You’re seriously doing an amazing job so thank you!
I’ve never heard of this event. So horrible. Rest In Peace to all the victims. So senseless
As a filipino we rarely had case like this. Even I was scared after hearing the news.
I’d not heard of this before. Thank you for sharing so that we may help to remember those who were lost in the devastation.
Thanks for going as in depth as you do.💪🏿🔥🕊💯
I just subscribed bec I love the narrator's voice & delivery. A story that happened in my country was a plus factor too. Thanks for the well-produced video.
Just saw this while trying to catch up with your stories because all were incredibly good and clear.. You explained this well than the media
I love your accent. Keep up the good work and quality videos...hopefully soon you'll be at 500k then a million subs.
The one addiction I will never understand is gambling. You literally put money down, and it just vanishes if you lose and literally nothing occured except you made an agreement they can take your money if etc.. sad thing is, u have money then lose it. You almost always would be better off if you never started. It's lucky if you win.
That's all addictions, you have money to start, you spend all your money and have nothing to show for it. And if you're a gambling addict, winning doesn't mean anything bc you're just gonna lose it. Only people with self control actually win bc they know when to stop.
It's probably like every other addiction - you are always chasing that first big high or win.
@@OttawaAndy For sure, you are right. All addictions activate same parts of the brain. And here's a weird fact - "Players who almost win a game of chance have similar brain activity in reward pathways to those who actually win." Those near misses (think 2 bonus symbols on slots and the machine getting you excited thinking the almighty 3rd bonus symbol is coming) keep addicts coming back for more, not just their actual wins. Casinos truly can never lose- but certainly people can lose everything from them!

when you win, you get a rush of adrenaline and it feels really good, it's pretty easy to understand why gambling is addictive. It easier to understand than drugs. At least gambler always have the "hope" to win, drug addicts KNOW the drug its gonna kill them.
Casino Security Officer here. I have worked in several properties around Las Vegas and have looked into the training for Security in many more because it's the first thing I ask during interviews. Resorts World Las Vegas has by far the most extensive training requirements for Security in the city. Now I know why.
I remember seeing this case when I was a kid. Not a good way to start the morning. Thank you for covering this.
Was there a sprinkler system? Feels like that could have helped calm the fire. Then again, it's a casino where people can be smoking so there probably was no sprinkler system.
I’ve never been left speechless by a crime. 😳🤦🏾♀️ the way he jumped out of the car was wild in in itself but to go on a robbery rampage and then take your own life…🤦🏾♀️
The man was desperate and had seemingly given up on life … he lost everything a few years before this tragedy.
@@nora4981 yeah as hardcore as this guy was to have been able to do that as well as getting shot part way through, you can tell he wanted to die, he was just aimlessly wandering around doing nothing but killing time until he was no more (calling him hardcore is not a glorification)
Brilliant coverage 👍🏼it’s so refreshing to watch a video that I haven’t heard of it’s content before
I'm from the Philippines. Your research skills are impressive!
I have encountered your channel few days ago.. I have watched all your videos.
Very authentic videos ❤️❤️
Sending lot of loves and power to you from India 😍
I call her the female " Michael" from That chapter.
Only two crime channels worth watching.BTW,One more greeting from India.
Great video, I'd never heard of this case before. So scary to see how calmly he was strolling around while setting stuff on fire, it was like watching a movie... those poor people, it must have been terrifying for them 😥
Reminds me of the shooter in greys anatomy
I almost forgotten about this case. Thank you for covering this. Great work!
Really enjoyed your video! The footage you provide is outrageous thank you so much for all of your hard work.
Brilliant editing and production. Well done, you! Very impressive! I hadn't known about this case. It was so eerie watching him calmly go about setting things on fire & shooting. Terrible. Those poor souls. Bless 💗
This lady’s voice literally gets me to sleep every night .. even tho most story’s are extremely sad x
Ikr
You have such a brilliant way of narrating
your voice is so pleasant and perfect for narrating these kinds of stories..new subbie here 👍🏻
Keep up the great work! I’m obsessed with true crime and I’ve seen hundreds of cases but being on your page, I’ve seen several I’ve never seen before (including this) and they are all interesting. I thank you!
First time I've actually heard about this. Great job. Thanks.
Omg the poor innocent people that suffocated to death... 🥺😭💔
The very sad part I think is how incredibly pointless this crime was... smh
More than 70 injured and 30+ dead... Literally for no good reason 😔😞😒
Other just jump on the window and died.
He was not in a hurry he took his time to set things on fire walking around like the boss. Gosh he was so confident on what he was doing. He knew that place very well.
He never planned on leaving. It was a suicide mission.
@@AcesWildMMA What was the point in stealing all that money then?
Courtney as the girl in the video mentioned... I agree. He wanted to feel like he got back what was his. It was a feeling of empowerment taking those chips. Possibly even burning them out of spite. All of his body language showed a man in no rush and with no escape plan.
Courtney plus, do you really think someone is going to be able to sell/use all the high end poker chips after they were stolen? If anything he would have taken cash. I remember a while back a casino in Vegas was robbed and they switched out all their chips because some weren’t recovered.
@@AcesWildMMA You aren’t making any sense
I'm a Filipino but I didn't knw this kind of story all I heard was that resorts world was set on fire... Great job for covering this.
💕WHY WAS THERE NO SPRINKLER SYSTEM in a building SO BIG where PEOPLE GATHERED💕If this was in place many lives could of been spared & they could of claimed from there insurance for water damage instead of the dead bodies💕
Recently just discovered your youtube channel and I can't get enough! Really well produced and well thought out stories. Thanks for your hard work!
Thank u so much for putting so much effort about this case. I'm frm Philippines but honestly don't know exactly about Carlos background story. I love your channel so much and obsessed watching all your stories.❤️❤️
I feel so bad for the victims. What a terrifying event. My heart goes out to Manila from the US❤️
Thank you for getting actual footage, you are awesome.
I live in the town directly next to this place, and we actually thought that ISIS had somehow got here and were in the middle of a terrorist attack.
Not a far out thought considering the war for Marawi was ongoing at the time.
Just saw it on the news back then. Btw I'm from the Philippines. This is the first time I got to see all the details about this case. y'all did a great job what a detailed and impressive storytelling. 💯 deserved a millions of subscriber.
I remember this being such huge news years ago.
Thanks for the upload ❤
Ive actually never heard of this story. Thanks for covering it
As I was watching this I was thinking the same thing as his cousin, it was for a temporary victory and then he could go out on his own terms, reestablishing control over his life that had become so chaotic. His target wasn't the people, he just didn't care about their lives, he wanted symbolic revenge on the casino.
I love your videos! Thank you for your uploads. I look forward to them 😍
If only they had more Security ; lives could have saved. More Fire doors too could have saved lives! Sad 😞
Well, that's one way of overcoming a gambling addiction...
Seriously, this is an amazing tale which you've documented and explained quite well. In a way, this reminds me of the Las Vegas shooter who fired into a music concert from a high-up casino hotel room. Police have never explained fully why the shooter did what he did other than he obviously wanted to die in a blaze of violence and mayhem. As with most spree killers, there seems to be an urge to punish "society" or an organization they believe had wronged them. Often the anger is irrational and ill-founded, demonstrating an inability to cope with reality or tortured by evil thoughts. You can look at the Columbine shooters who added arson to their mayhem. I wonder what the two women who were in the elevator with him thought as he got in with them? Very tragic.
At that point they probably didn't think much of it at all. He would have been just another person carrying his bags through the hotel. It wasn't until he left them that he put on his vest and mask and pulled out his weapon.
I remember this case.. it took us so long to be comfortable going to Resorts World again
Very well researched! This channel have amazing contents 👍
You know what right ive been watching youtube for years...ie random stuff but am only hooked on two channels your's & JCS - your great at what you do ,we need one every night though ....😂😂 Hopefully soon with more viewers popularity it'll happen ❤
A man with nothing left to lose. I kinda feel sorry for him actually.
Stumbled across this channel and love the fact a Brit is narrating 😽
She has a mesmerizing and calm voice. I love it!
Wow. Terrifying and so sad. Excellent video.
The footage is amazing!
So impressed with your documentary and how you search about the Filipino and this case.
Getting killed by your addiction sure is karma...
Thank u for this.
This story is very sad. Especially after knowing no one died because of his shooting but from the fire he caused instead. It's so sad.
Truly great content 👍
The way he walked like he's just strolling in a mall...the poor people who were trapped in and suffocated to death. they really thought there were multiple people shooting because he put the ammunition on fire.
You really do great work with these in a unique style all your own. ✌🏽❣️
The fact that he wasted time grabbing the chips underline how wacked out he was.
What a terrifying ordeal 😔 and here I thought it ended with only him dead... such a tragedy. RIP to all those who died so senselessly 🙏
I am from the Philippines but i wasn't aware of that..i got to know what happened only here in true criminal
Your voice is so soothing :)
this video should have millions of views!
Very good and exhaustive recounting of the incident 👍🏾
The crimes you cover are so interesting
I can't believe that I don't know about this yet. Wow.
You make such great videos. Thank u
I’ve never heard this one.
Great job
Glad that they released the security footages. Most countries would cite security reasons for not releasing. This would be on top of the casino's own security protocols to forbid photography and videography
Love the videos you make - gripping to watch. Thanks
Stupid question, or maybe not: how do you turn chips into cash outside the casino????
Not a stupid question, dude was an idiot for that.....😕
I don't think you can 🤷♀️
Not a stupid question at all! I'm sure many are also wondering but you're the only brave one who asked!
I think he could sell them to big time gamblers and they could cash them in.
They can use or cash them out from other casinos
I praise these officers for their bravery. They had no idea what they were going into and how many shooters were there. My goodness! I was afraid for them. Glad none of them got hurt. Thank you for your service brave officers
Saw this on the local news back then. Didn't realize there was more to it. Like how he shot the two guys in the car before he went on that rampage in the hotel.
Wow I didn’t hear about this story until you covered it. How absolutely devastating that he took 39 lives and his own life due to money problems. I do wonder where he got all of his money/assets… the finance department let him go for the discrepancy between earnings and assets but didn’t sus him out??? Also, apparently gun laws are fairly lax in the Philippines (stricter than most of USA- which isn’t saying much- but people can conceal carry and own semi-autos ) plus this dude was a multimillionaire Im sure he could get illegal weapons. I’m curious to know if his weapon was legally owned
Terrifying, sad for all the innocent lives! A great video but heartbreaking! 💔
My Older sister, brother and his girlfriend were all in the area at the time..I’m glad they’re still with us, but my condolences go out to the 37 people who lost their lives 😔 ❤
Wow I’d never heard of this horrible case...thank you so much for covering an unknown case. 👍🏻👏🏻❤️🙏🏼❤️ RIP to everyone that lost their lives because of this POS coward monster. Prayers for everyone that lost their lives and were hurt, to their families and friends ❤️🙏🏼❤️
Wow I always thought it was a terrorist incident(technically it still is)!! Thank you for covering this. Honestly your channel is exceptional in the content & style of story telling and I like how you're respectful to the victims when others barely mention their full names!
Except that it isn't a terrorist incident. If the purpose was not to scare or terrorize anyone, which it absolutely doesn't appear to be, it isn't a terrorist attack.
