In 1985 a devastating natural disaster decimated a small farming town called Armero when a local volcano erupted. The disaster literally erased the town from existence and its 24,000 inhabitants.
In the aftermath of the volcanic disaster a small girl was found trapped amongst the rubble. This is the story of Omaira Sanchez and her desperate struggle for survival.

hi
I thought that out of all people you would be aware of the shady practices and predatory mechanics this game has. What a shame, honestly
I love how you describe a micro transaction hell and gambling hidden behind a game as a way to relax for you, you're clearly built different.
Honest truth I did actually play raid while making this video as a way to give my brain a break from what was a very sad and horrifying story. It's an odd use of a game like this but it did actually work.
Micro transactions and gbling esque mechanics are becoming so common in games now (looking at you EA) that I don't think it's fair to just pick on mobile games now, though I do agree the wrong type of person playing these games usually ends in big problems
ok
When she said "Today's the math test... I'll fail the year." I thought she was cracking a joke. Then you made it clear that she was oblivious to just how bad the situation was. Made my heart sink.
I've never forgotten this photo. When i learned that her eyes were not edited, and just THAT black from being so bloodshot, I had to know more. And how my soul broke just a bit knowing she was trapped for so long. But I think its IMPORTANT to aknowledge that she did not just die. She was murdered by every official who decided to ignore the warnings. their actions caused her suffering. we should honour her for her strength. mourn her. but never. forget.
I completely agree. It's why I made the video, the story had never been told completely.
Her eyes haunt me, I feel so terrible and wish her a beautiful afterlife.
This was also why the M19 was fighting against the unjust government. at 18:06 This information is incorrect. Pablo Escobar DID NOT finance the guerrilla M19 nor was motivated to aid narcotrafic. The Point of this guerrilla was to perform a theatrical judgment day for the congress and president on their lack of diligence in attending to all the constitutional rights of the citizens which have been systematically ignored for hundreds of years but especially during the last century. SO IT was an unfortunate coincidence. The alternative hypothesis that Escobar financed the M19 is not proven and is unlikely.

I’m at a loss for words having just watched this video 😢 one of the saddest accounts of reality I’ve heard in my life. May god continue to wrap her and her family as well as everyone else that lost their lives on that day. I will forever pray for you
As a Colombian myself, I personally appreciate that you took the time to research and provide extensive context with detail and respect about this topic. Sadly this is only one of the immense tragic (and almost endless...) incidents in our country.
Greetings from Colombia, cannot wait to see you cover another of these events!
I always feel like that context is really important for stories like this.
@@PeakedInterestI could tell you got emotional when you mentioned how she was worried about her math test
@PeakedInterest thank you for this video..means alot that you cared enough to share it the way you did
I just rewatched the video today and found my eyes watering at the final 2 minutes of the video. Genuinely heartbreaking story@@PS-jr1yq
Thanks for taking the time to watch, I genuinely appreciate it. Sorry for the late replies@@PS-jr1yq
I can see why you fought so hard to get this video up.
There's such a strange contrast between Omayra's attitude and the hellish way in which she died, it's mesmerizing. It's a horrid story, but Omayra is hard to forget in a way that's truly haunting.
I really wanted people to see how and why this happened and that it was avoidable. CZcams kept wanting me to cut out the context and giving it an age restriction because it discusses drug trade even though I was not glorifying it or pablo at all, if anything it was quite harsh criticism
But i Hope She's Resting In Peace😞
She was an angel, her passing christ-like.
@@PeakedInterest CZcams is disgusting I wish I was smart enough to create a better platform
@@r.e.4873NOT CHRIST LIKE
Her saying "adiós, madre" was one of the most soul crushing things
In the face of such terror, this little girl showed such bravery, dignity and superhuman strength of mind and attitude, this was heartbreaking.
This is the most heart-wrenching, emotionally devastating retelling of Omaira's story I've ever heard. You've done exceptionally good work.
Thank you, Its a hard balance to strike. I want people to really empathise with both Omaira and the people of Armero while simultaneously staying respectful.
@@PeakedInterest You did just that.
Raid shadow legend isn’t really heart wrenching is it?
it feels wrong to click on this video expecting to learn about this little girl only to be faced with a s sponsored mobile game ad
"thank you raid shadow legends for making the photo possible"
A man has to eat
If it wasn't a sponsored mobile game ad on CZcams, it'd be a multi-million dollar personal care company on the Discovery Channel.
Exactly. I get the creator has bills to pay, but advertising Raid Shadow Legends of all things on a video about such a heartbreaking story feels so painfully disrespectful. It's just wrong on so many levels to so blatantly profit on the suffering of a little girl.
@@queen.of.hatred02then don’t watch it. Don’t support it. Pretty simple solution
I have no reason to ever feel bad about minuscule things again. This girl is on the brink of death and she was not full of self pity. Instead she was saying how she needs to live and how she’ll like a picture when she gets out. Cracking jokes and worrying about others. Speaking to her family. Being polite and addressed the interviewer as “sir” and asking for permission to share some words.
We can learn a lot about this little angel.
Rest In Peace.
Children tend to believe (especially when in the midst of adults......those that are older than them) that they will be helped and rescued). So her attitude would be positive once seeing them present. As I guess this is why she became happy after her screams for help was heard. The reality of this not being the case is what set in as days past. Which is why she said she was going to the lord. Even adults (depending on who they are at the core) will experience glee and a level of happiness, the minute they see help or they're aware that someone is present to *help them. To compare her disposition to what someone else should or should not do once they find themselves in dire need or whatever situation is..........interesting.
@@junglekutz5625stop smoking meth bro !
I lost some braincells reading this.
But I agree with the beautiful afterlife part.
@@joeschmoe3815😂
I found your channel because of your video on Hisashi Ouchie. I subbed because of the fair mindedness and respect you showed in that video. The fact that CZcams has been giving you such trouble over this video, particularly when you have a history of being a tactful and decent presenter, is more than my brain can handle. I'm glad to see things have been somewhat settled with all of that.
This is always my argument with youtube - I'm not trying to sensationalise. I'm usually trying to contextualise. I have to fight with them almost every video now, sometimes I just leave it and accept it. It's hard arguing with them.
@E Van exactly
Wow, 4 days ago I also found this channel because of Hisasgi Ouchie and subbed for the same reason! These videos are so well done. I want him to keep being able to do this, so I'm a Patreon now. Great work
@L A thanks so much. Remember to also like and share to your social media to help with the algorithm, it's much appreciated
Me too ! Bravo!
Baby was so close to help. She was so stoic. Bless her heart.
I would of been there with a bucket getting as much water out of that area where she was.... RIP little angel and everyone else who lost their life.
That’s what I said
It didn’t look like they even tried. More like , well, she’s stuck, not much we can do.
@@MareShoopthe just snapped photos and left. It’s fucking disgusting.
To see soil move like that, houses crumbling like sandcastles is truly terrifying. It is easy to forget how powerfull nature can be at times. That face has haunted me for a long time. To be right there with her and be powerless to save her.. it invokes such sadness.
I know, I can’t imaging how it must have felt to be right there with her and be powerless to free her
Sometimes I forget that as humans we aren't capable of fixing every situation. Even with some of the brightest minds, sometimes we can't save a little girl who's right there in front of us. It's the most heartbreaking thing I can imagine. I hope she didn't feel afraid in her last moments.
I think, fortunately, that she was too delirious by that point
The bright minds did come up with a plan that would have saved her: evacuation. But no one listened to them and business elites accused them of scaremongering. Here is the cost of profit above all else. Do not comfort yourself, she was scared, she did suffer.
The way this story unfolds seems to be cause by human incompetence at best... Knowing me I'll keep trying to get her free and keep coming up with better ideas to get her free.
The last part where she tells her mom she loves her and so does her father broke me. This was beautiful and terrible. Well done, very well done.
The auntie holding her leg really puts a damper on this whole story that child could have possibly survived the whole entire ordeal 😢 bless all that lost their lives during this natural disaster
this is BY FAR the most in-depth and context-heavy explanation of this event i've ever seen. i have never seen that tv footage of her before and it is heartbreaking. well done, my guy. incredible work.
Thank you, whenever I cover sad stories like this I try to include all the context surrounding the event so people can understand why it happened because it's very rarely just bad luck.
@@PeakedInterest "it's very rarely bad luck" i truly agree
This is definitely the most thoroughly researched and detailed account of little Omaira’s story. Well done and thank you for keeping her in everyone’s memory. I am sure she would be very proud of how you retold her story ❤️.
I hope I helped everyone see how and why this happened. It was such a sad story
Oh sweet girl, I’m so sorry. I’m sobbing for her. The way you have reported this is admirable, you tell the facts from a human point of view that shows a great amount of respect and reverence. What a beautiful little girl, a brave and kind soul who kept everyone’s feelings in mind. Her words at the end broke me, I can’t imagine how her surviving family would have felt watching the news from so far away. ❤
she didn't deserve to die
she had a fighting spirit
Who could ever forget this haunting photo? It was December 1985 when this photo came out as Photo Of The Year, featured in Time magazine, I believe. I had just bought my first home. As a single mother I was so grateful and thankful that my family finally had a home of our own. I was feeling so blessed. Then this image, staring me in the face gave me an even deeper feeling of gratitude. We were safe. We were warm. We were together. Rest In Peace, Omaira. I will never forget you!
The end gave me chills… this poor girl, i wish they had gotten her out before she passed away. I work at a nursing home and I witness a lot of patients pass away from old age. Many of them talk to something not there before they pass, just like Omayra. I feel like it’s the angels telling them it’s time to go . 😢 RIP Omayra , such a beautiful soul.
Same! I’m a nurse and someone or something is there always before they pass❤
They are speaking to ppl on the other side. My friends grand mother was old and dying in her bed. She told her that the ppl were in her bed, and she asked if she knew them, and she said no. I believe this happens when they are half way out of here.
The last couple weeks of my dad's life he was in and out of consciousness. He would sometimes awake and call for his mom for a glass of water or something, like she was in the next room. Toward the end, when he was very weak, he told me "I've been there...a few times. It's like I can't...tune it in... and I end up back here." I tried to be non chalant as I told him "Oh, you'll get it sorted out when the time comes... but next time- will you tell everybody I said "hi." He said "ok" and fell back asleep.
It sounds crazy, but I feel like I totally get it, like there's no doubt in my mind, my dad and my loved ones will be there waiting for me. I don't fear death at all. I'm 45 and I have an autoimmune disease so Im not gonna see old age, but Im ok with that. I feel bad because my daughters are in their 20s and losing me will be difficult for them, but just like they cried like they'd never see me again before preschool, they didn't get it- they'd be with me again before too long. I feel like it's a bigger version of that. I can't explain it very well, but they're waiting for us when we leave here- I just KNOW it with all my heart. And the ones we leave behind, we'll be there to receive them. It really does all work out in the end.
@@poutinedream5066this comment just absolutely made my year. (Except the fact that you’re unwell, I’m so very sorry). Like you, I don’t fear death whatsoever. I’m 39 and I actually look forward to death because I can’t wait to be with the everyone I have lost again. Your insurance that this is how it works just gives me so much extra hope. So thank you for sharing that. Sending you love ❤️ xo
@@poutinedream5066The Lord is King. He will reunite all families together again in his name
My jaded heart has such a hard time understanding the positivity this girl had in her final days on Earth. That someone like her could exist at all speaks volumes about the incredible people of Columbia.
I think it's very significant in Omayra's last interview she asks to speak, starting with mom and mama, but in the end she says "Adios Madre" which is a much more formal "goodbye mother."
Edit; that was spectacular! It was truly educational, historically accurate and significant, researched impeccably and delivered so well, full of respect and care for Omayra. You've truly outdone yourself! I was learning, angry and crying while watching this. So, so we'll done! Thank you for always bringing the best, absolute best stories to YT. They should be bending over backwards to keep you on this platform!
Si algun dia necesita ayuda en traducir Espanol, le ayudare con mucho gusto. 😉
That interview really broke me. Genuinely heart breaking to see
commenting to boost but this video made me incredibly sad. The context you gave viewers that are less so familiar with South America really helped, and to see how careless both business and government was here was heartwrenching.
Totally agree
I’m so happy you finally got through CZcams’s mess.
This was just heartbreaking. Yet it was also an honor to her bravery at such a young age.
So well done as usual. Thank you.
Thank you, I think she was very brave. I don't know that I would have been so composed in her circumstances
I will never complain about my life again!😢 Lord I know this baby is in paradise with you now!!
I struggle with consuming heavy content like what you produce, but you handle these subjects in such a respectful and admirable way, and that makes it a little more bearable. You've earned a subscriber dude
Thanks Janna, i try to provide context and empathy for these kinds of stories so it's nice to see I achieved that in your case
Poor girl. No more sadness or struggles. May God take her into loving arms.
‘to look triumphant!’ This is heartbreaking. Of course she was delirious!
OMG HOW SAD! SHE WAS A FIGHTER BUT KNEW HER TIME WAS AT AN END WHAT A BRAVE LITTLE GIRL.
i don't think a video has ever made me cry this much - the sensitivity you use when covering topics such as these, your beautiful word choice, the quality of the videos you create, everything about your content is so well crafted, please keep creating
Thank you, that's very kind
i like ur lps pfp
right? i never cried watching or listening to tragic stories and crime scenes but this? this made me cry. truly heartbreaking. i think the choice of words did help to evoke those emotions.
@Faye I'm very careful with my choices of words and music because I want people to feel empathy for the subjects of these stories. I want their story to evoke feelings and then maybe they'll be remembered in the correct way, rather than just being some salacious story, which is how most seem to treat it.
@@PeakedInterest thank you very much for covering this in such a respectful manner and with empathy 🙏🏻
I'm furious at one point of the video i thought for sure they'll get her out just remove the water and free her
But now after finishing the video I'm absolutely blown away
Did they even try bucketing the water? Instead of wasting time hugging her and singing and chatting and hiding in the shade
10 people could drain a swimming pool with buckets in 10 hours
These idiots spend 60 hours waiting for a pump that did nothing?
Rest in peace poor child very saddening
I thought the same thing!! It seemed like they didn't give enough effort. They could've taken turns between going in the shade and taking out buckets of water. In the illustration it didn't seem like it was even that deep
Unfortunately it wasn’t simply just water causing the issue but heavy, thick mud that was heavily embedded with innumerable amounts of debris and sadly, bodies. Her leg was also trapped under parts of her broken house.
It wasn’t just water, there was concrete, debris and her *dead aunts body* (I read that somewhere but I’m coming back to edit my comment in case it was misinformation) keeping her underground, along with the fact it was only volunteers and reporters who were there, not emergency services or the army. Of course I also feel like more could have been done, but it’s simply a reflection of the time they lived in where amputation in that situation would have probably killed her
anything they did to the water would only cause it to rise higher and put her at risk of drowning
thank you for bringing us this video, i saw you had difficulty getting it past youtube. you really have a talent for telling these stories with scientific insight and providing victims dignity through the video. this one was a difficult watch but i'm glad you were the one telling omaira's story.
Thank you, I try to treat them respectfully.
Wow. She fought so hard for survival... what a warrior!
I'm glad you managed to get the video posted. It's a heartbreaking story and you did a very good narrating it.
Thank you. I really didn't want to change the video b cause it's such a hard story and why it happened should be highlighted
First time I watched a YT vid about her I cried my eyes out. That was a few years ago, and it still makes me tear up everytime I think of that beautiful little girl
Made it to the very end but now I'm crying like a baby. I hate that this child couldn't be saved. And I thank God I wasn't one of the rescuers who had to watch her slip away 😢😢😢😢😢😢
That's exactly my experience too
Such a devastating yet captivating photo. One cannot simply see the picture and not feel haunted... What a sad story for the whole town.
That photograph of her sends chills down my spine
Mine too, this story was one of the most tragic I've read
When you first announced this video through the community tab, I thought this was gonna be a story around a natural disaster, but I'm left in tears knowing this just wasn't the case; I'm glad you added the economic/geopolitical context for those of us unfamiliar in order to better understand how this all unfolded, now I'm left wondering how this could've been like if only Latin-American didn't had corrupt politicians running our countries.
This has been one of the most tragic stories covered yet, no la olvidaré... saludos desde Honduras. 💙
Whenever I research a story the context of how and why is always something which I feel is important to include because almost all of these horrible fates videos are avoidable and I want people to see that all these people suffered for no reason, usually just to satisfy economic interest. Interestingly the wikipedia page for this story only says evacuation was opposed by 'special economic interests' without detailing what that means. Took a while to find out it was big business spreading the information that the geologists were wrong.
Pumping that water out day and night even with a bucket, starting the moment they found her would have made a world of a difference. Ain't no way.
They try that and didnt work.
I said the same thing; I wouldn’t have stopped trying 💔
This is so gut wrenching. All that suffering because businesses didn’t want to close.
I'd love to have seen a graphic of exactly what her body was stuck in that couldn't be removed, or what exactly she couldn't be removed from. Another great video. If anybody reading this knows of a site that has the graphic or best description of PRECISELY what she was stuck in, please do recommend it. I'd like to have a complete understanding. Poor little thing. She was heartbreakingly brave. PS= Your best video is without question the Hisashi Ouchi one. I've recommended and linked it to countless people. Intense, macabre, engrossing. I couldn't look away.
Thank you.
If you imagine her kneeling in a prayer position and a huge stone wall had fallen across the back of her calves, along with some volcanic rock, silt, wood etc trapping her in a prayer position.
@@PeakedInterest To think of how heavy and solid that must have been, if it took days and nights of constant effort to even try and move...horrible. Thanks for clarifying, much appreciated. Off to research more now. You have the key to Pandora's Box when it comes to macabre, heartbreaking human life stories. All contents handled with such care and sensitivity. Your sense of good judgement is inborn. Thanks for the effort you put into these uploads.
This was so moving. I've seen this picture before but i never knew the true story behind it. My heart hurts for these people and this little girl who was thinking of her family at the end.
There's honestly only the ouchi story which hit me as hard as this one. Very tragic
Excellent job, Lee. A deeply sad story told with extreme empathy..
Thank you, I really genuinely try very hard
I felt compelled to watch this. And now I'm sad. But thankful
When I first read the very short story of this event I felt compelled to research and many times I asked myself it was wise. The more I researched the more horrible the story became.
on the other hand, I was 6 years old when this happened and I still remember it: my parents and I went out to send food and clothes for the victims in a mall Unicentro in Bogota, i remember seeing the smoke from the volcano on sunset from Unicentro. I just cried again watching Omaira.
It's unbelievable how nobody seemed to realise or understand the severity of the situation, even when it began. I can see how the situation maybe wasn't fully understood by the locals, but the authorities should've temporarily suspended their hunt for Escobar (or at the very least have moved some resources) when they heard of a potential volcano eruption.
So many lives would've been spared, had they thought a little further.
I would really love if there was a campfire analysis of this topic, perhaps something extra for the patreons?
Awesome new logo btw!
Thank you. I changed the logo since most people in comment tend to shorten my name to PI when responding. Also it's less conspicuous when printed on merchandise...
So happy to see you were able to put the video out!
Edit: I’ve been aware of this story for some time now, but knowing all the details now, it’s just so unfair what this poor girl and all the other residents had to go through because of ignorant people in power. I hope all those who called the upcoming eruption nonsense are happy now.
The context for why events like this happen are equally as important as the end result of it to me.
There are truly no words…I hope that those who tried to rescue her can find some peace. I fear what's to come in the near future due to greed, incompetence, and denial of extensive scientific research on imminent climate disaster; indeed what's already been happening, whether it be in the US or Pakistan.
I'm thankful you were finally able to upload this documentary. The invaluable information was beautifully presented, and speaks to the care with which you researched this tragedy. Thank you.
I fought very hard for this video because I really felt like her story should be told but also the context of how and why someone had to suffer so much is something completely lacking from every other version of this story
Poor baby girl. May she forever R.I.H along with the other 24k souls. 🙏🏽
This poor baby. 😢 That photo just rips my heart to shreds. 💔 Also, your voice is very soothing.
I live because I want to Live.........profound and powerful!!!!!!!!!!! words. Yet all that was needed was someone that had the same drive and full of spirit to assist her drive to live. I swear, you can always tell who has respect for Life and all that it extends to them!
Poor little angel. What a heartbreaking story. Nature is truly terrifying
Nature is terrifying, as we will all find out in the next decade or so
It’s not nature that is so terrifying in this video, it’s the apathy of the businesses who prevented safe evacuation because of the effect it would have on businesses and the economy. It’s far too common. We are all at their mercy. It happened with Covid. And it’s happening with Climate Change. We never learn.
I literally have no words 💔😔 May her soul find eternal peace
Goodness. I was listening to this while cooking a late breakfast for my younger siblings.. I just combusted into tears. I was hoping the end would be different. Poor baby.. i can’t even describe how I feel.
This is a really shocking story. It just amazes me that she can be surrounded by people in open air, but still be stuck (I get the reality of the situation, it’s just a reminder that we really are just fallible humans and not gods). Do you suppose all the loss of life could have been avoided? A heartbreaking story that you covered very delicately and compassionately- as always! Thank you, Lee
I do think the loss of life could have been avoided. Had the government listened to geologists instead of business lobbies those people and omaira would still be alive
Your channel is one of the best, the amount of respect you show the victims of these videos and at times talk about who they were is very humanizing. Thank you for giving the respect these people deserve
I remember as today,seing the live coverage of this poor child agony,and the desperation of the people who were trying to save her.
It was Heartbroken to see the expression on that child face,during the rescue attempt. There were Times,that She was even smiling,with her very Young mind,not grasping the severity of her situation.
It was the most sad thing ive seen on Live TV....the moment when that little body just gave up,still haunts my dreams after so many years.
It was one of those moments that you look at the sky and in Anger and asks " Where are you...."
Still Breaks my Heart and Soul,seing what that little Angel face girl had to endure before her facial expression started fading away,untl the end.
This was the saddest thing i Ever seen on live TV. Just Overwhelming.
RIP little Brave Omaira Sanchez.
it's one of the saddest stories I've ever told
@@PeakedInterest a Story, but this one is very real .😢
This is the saddest thing that could happen to a 13 year old and even for the watchers of this incident for that matter😢
I hope this doesn’t get taken down. That beautiful girl deserves to have her story told, tragic as it may be.
😢❤
I must have first seen this photo and heard the story about a year ago, but each time I hear the story it never gets easier. It's just such a horrific situation.
100% this is something which stuck with me every night while making it
Bless this beautiful child and her family. Thank you for sharing her story. The respectful and tactful way you told it, I have no words.
Yeah, "respectful".
"Here is the incredibly sad fate of a little girl... But first, come play this shitty mobile game full of microtransactions!!!"
@wasserruebenvergilbungsvirus when you watch a documentary on TV or cinema and there are 20 minutes of ads before it starts do you send letters of complaint to the directors?
I'm not sure why youtubers are held to a different standard considering we actually need the money and production companies are loaded.
Surely the important thing is how I treat the subject no?
Omayra’s story coupled with your telling made me weep. Thank you for your work and for keeping the memory of this courageous girl alive.
Wow, long time no see bud. This is so indepth and could truly be a paid series. You're an inspiration, keep doing what you love!
Thank you, people say that all the time about my work and it's always very flattering
Doesn't make any sense? So there were not enough people and buckets to start emptying the pool of water so that they could free her by cutting the debris around her little body,?? I don't understand why they would have given up so easily 😢
Exactly my thoughts
This was so avoidable 24,000 dead?! They had so many opportunities to evacuate
Wow. You really cover these stories with such respect!! Thank you for bringing the world the stories that matter and the people who need to be remembered!!
Thank you, I try to remember these are real people who went through real suffering and so their story should be treated respectfully and all context should be included
Commenting to boost one of my favorite creators. Keep up the great work Lee. I know it’s hard to fit within the confines that CZcams demands of you.
I appreciate that!
It makes me so upset hearing how negligent the government was with properly warning all these towns and cities around the volcano…
So many lives could have been saved.. so many lives
Your content is always thorough and educational, and I really wish CZcams would finally see it as it is very soon. Thanks so much for the hard work!!
Thank you for coming back to watch 🙂
I'm so happy this is up i was afraid I wouldn't be able to watch it. Thank you for powering through and getting it on CZcams!
Thanks for sticking around and watching the video. I can honestly say the last thing I want is content locked for some people
This was gut wrenching. She knew the lord was waiting for her now that's so deep
The SECOND I get a notification from your channel, I'm HERE! 😊
*EDIT:* What an incredibly sad story 😢
I heard it before, but NEVER in this way, w/ THIS MUCH detail. This is why I luv ❤️ your channel. You put everything you have into your stories. You give stories life. Thank you! Thanks for posting. ~Peace✌🏽
Thank you. Stories like this need to be told completely in my opinion, and thats what I try to do
It's as if your channel was made for me! Im so glad I came across it because your videos are actually top tier well made and well researched.
Thank you, and welcome aboard. I can't guarantee its fun (since the stories tend to be pretty tragic) but I can guarantee its a learning experience
💔💔💔
as the video kept progressing, i was wishing so badly that the girl be saved in the end but the final part .... left me speechless and heartbroken
that little angel deserved to live!
for the heart and attitude she had and showed.
Stumbled into this channel by way of this video. This is a story I have not heard. What a beautiful soul that little one had. I was mesmerized by your storytelling. Definitely subbing and hopefully boosting up this channel.
this is so heartbreaking, i couldn't hold my tears. fly high little angle, you're safe now in heaven :')
Its heartbreaking how the rescuers had to watch her slowly be drained of life for 60 hours with nothing they could do about it.
An absolutely amazing video. Thank you. The time you took to set the societal and cultural factors at the time, as well as the background on the effects of the volcano really set this tragic story up. Your efforts in creating this video and your compassion for Omaira really shines through.
Thank you, I try to take my time and tell a complete story
What a strong, brave, caring little girl. She will be remembered. Great work on this sadly beautiful video.
I am so glad you got the video out. Can't believe you had to jump through so many CZcams loops to get it done. Thank you for doing this for us viewers. The video is amazingly done, YOU NEED MORE SUBSCRIBERS.
Edit: I don't know if you want to do video on this but my country suffered from one of worst chemical plant malfunction, it caused deaths of way too many people and sadly all those who were responsible at the top walked away. Please search " Bhopal Gas Tragedy" even if just to read.
A Bhopal video has been in research for a month now already. I heard about that story in my sociology class at college. Might be a while before it makes it to the channel but it's cooking
@@PeakedInterest I think you are best suited as an outsider ( I say outsider not as an insult but you do feel anger when people of your country die and the foreigner gets away easily ), to show the tragedy in a comprehensive and humane way, your videos are so well researched and immaculately put together, the whole cohesiveness of it all makes me your big fan.
I have been taught about this tragedy a lot, as a chemical engineer you have to know what went wrong and measures you needed to take just in case, another mishap happened. So I know all the technical details but I never delved much into other details of it all.
Anyhow I am glad to know it's at least cooking. Oh, and this one also has graphic images, engineering classes don't care about that but maybe CZcams will.
It's actually the biggest man made disaster in history if I'm not mistaken and some of the suffering people went through was horrible. I'll treat the story with the respect it deserves
Hooray!! Glad to see this one finally made it through the stpid youtube regs, congratulations!! Well deserved. Its a story worth telling to remember the poor girl who tragically lost her life that day.
I genuinely fought extremely hard for almost two weeks for this video. I'm glad I managed to get a version very close to the original up
This is back to true for for you. This respectfully and somberly tells her story just as it should. Well done thank you for your hard work and I expect you will get the views to reward your hard work.
Thank you. I try to make every video as good as it can be
I'm crying by her last words, may she rest in peace 😇
As a fellow CZcamsr that has spent countless hours re editing videos to make them acceptable to CZcams I appreciate this video so much! Very well done!
Thank you. It's not easy sometimes
@@PeakedInterest I FEEL that! But this video turned out AMAZING! I can only imagine the version on Patreon!
Actually there won't be a different version going to patreon. I felt this version was close enough to the original that I could release just one version
@@PeakedInterest well this video turned out awesome! Well done!
@@PeakedInterest you should absolutley do that! This was a remarkable watch🖤
This is one of the saddest videos I have ever watched, never missing an upload from you sir
Thank you Mr messyhair. I try my best to tell these stories as accurately and compassionately as I can while providing the full context
Thank you! Such an amazing detailed and extensive work.... (bringing this story together!).
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment
Very well put together. Thank you for sharing her story 🌹
She sang to keep up the rescuers morel.... So sad , you told her story in such a beautiful way x
In rewatching this today, I just have to reiterate how much I appreciate your channel. I love how you manage to keep your videos both respectful and also hard-hitting in ways many fail to accomplish. The fact that you cover so many nuanced topics that have been long suffering from sensationalism is such a breath of fresh air.
The people who are reduced to the event/tragedy that overtook them for mere clickbait points deserve better than they often get. Whether it’s this poignant video or the victims of a sadist like Dr. Brown, you manage to respect those who’ve gone through something immensely hard while spreading the message to make sure we never forget their stories. You don’t shy away from making deeply important points about society’s shortcomings and that’s how you truly honor those who’ve been wronged.
Thank you, this is a really nice comment and really reinforces the approach that I take. I appreciate this
@@PeakedInterest you deserve ALL the nice comments! I’ll always watch anything you post because I know that it will have empathy and nuance, which is something I value greatly. I feel like you would do an amazing job covering a case like the Goiânia Incident actually, if you’d ever be so inclined!
Goiana is on my list for next year 🙂
@@PeakedInterest omg that’s incredible to hear! My favorite videos of yours are definitely the ones on preventable accidents/disasters so I’m very excited to see how it turns out. I really feel like more people ought to know about what happened and I know you’ll do an excellent job. 🥰
Thank for the vote of confidence
You definitely have me all the needed to know about this story.
I love your content! I am happy you got CZcams to see reason. I found you from your Hikers in Panama (Kris and Lisane) video and since then I have been making my way through the rest of your content and it’s so well done. Bravo!
Thank you, I try to give maximum effort all the time. Be sure to share the videos via social media to help with the algorithm
Wow. It's not a new story to me but this is far and away the most thorough and respectful telling of it I've seen. Thank you for including a picture of her before the accident, and thank you for what you do. ✌️🍍
Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. Hopefully you feel as though the time you spent here was spent wisely
I'm glad you got Raid as a sponsor because I hear they pay well. Good job making the ad read sound unique! 😝🍍
wow my heart breaks for all those people in that town and then to hear her optimism she seemed like such a beautiful girl i pray she is resting in peace and w everyone she loves
I'm only in the middle of the story and my heart is broke for her and all her friends and family. This is so sad I'm almost afraid to watch the rest that I'd be better off not knowing what happens. I cant watch the rest.
I love your videos man, they make me feel like I'm watching an actual HBO max documentary, it just feels so real, keep up the GREAT videos man.
And what rhyms with propane
Thanks Devin, regardless what topic I'm covering I try to give maximum effort for every video. These stories really deserve it
This is documentary quality work. I would have watched it sooner but was worried it might be too sad. Luckily your video was highly informative and engaging. I hope CZcams removes the restraints on this channel soon because it's fantastic work and respectful of the subject matter.
Thank you, I'll just keep trying to make good videos
