"The Columbine High School massacre was a school shooting that occurred on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School in Columbine, an unincorporated area of Jefferson County (Jeffco), Colorado , United States, near Littleton in the Denver metropolitan area. The perpetrators, senior students, murdered 12 students and one teacher. They injured 21 additional people with gunshots, and exchanged gunfire with the police. The pair subsequently committed suicide. The crime has inspired several copycats, and "Columbine" has become a euphemism for a school shooting. At the time, it was the most deaths ever to happen from one." - wikipedia

Man .. made me tear up when he said "i feel like i have to kinda live for them" .. such a valuable good episode. Keep these going, andrew. In some way this is way more valuable than the pranks.
Wissenswert but do the pranks too
Many.
Really puts stuff in perspective. As someone who’s in school right now, I really feel him when he talked about it being hard to focus and be motivated on school stuff after it all went down, and just wanting to be with friends...
you didn't tear up you liar
"In some way this is way more valuable than the pranks". (I know your post was with the best intent) .. But, this video will have value, real value, decades from now. His prank videos (which I really like as well) - will not. Just sayin'
Damn, you can see his pain in his eyes.
those are just called tears
well he was starting to cry
I'm sure alot of them have ptsd
ptsd, prob from the body drop in front of him not fear
+first last What has the world become to if people call survivors of tragedies "crisis actors" because their stories don't align with their political views. You're an embarassment.
Imagine being sick and staying home that day
Guess he really dodged a...
Sorry that was terrible ik
Matt N. He’s hungry for likes
My Mum: Go to school you fuck it isnt that bad...
If you're not sick enough to not play video games then youre not sick enough to stay home from school
@@KRATS8K omg I hated that ... there is a difference in laying on a couch and playing ps3 (when I was a kid) and going to fking school and moving, learning etc.
When he mentioned how he went up to his track coach Dave Sanders to alert someone, I got instant tears in my eyes knowing what had happened to him.
Jax Shae the 2 comments above me need to relax. all she did was make a post under a Columbine documentary and y’all are being horny smh
M_xj7 literally what the fuck is wrong with you
TooPlepsy It’s called makeup
Lil Panini mans just trying to bust a quick nut
Evexin can't a man be horny without someone being offended about it these days
So much courage from someone who lived from a traumatic event like that.
Provocateur ok, how many people would have died that day if no one had a gun? lol flawed logic man
it was 13 mins
Madison Gibson ok, how many people would have died that day if everyone had a gun? lol flawed logic man.
yup probably multiple people still because they started outside shooting kids that were just walking by, i don’t understand the logic that to stop people killing with guns, we need more guns but i’m guessing you’re American? so that makes sense that you think to stop shootings people just need more guns. my point was that if no one had a gun that day, no one would have been shot or dead which is the truth.
Noise Control wasn’t my point, my point was that if no one had a gun in that school no one would have died
Nearly 20 years ago and the pain Is still so real. Thank you Will
Matthew Phelps thanks for appreciating it. Some pain doesn’t go away. It just makes the other parts of life sweeter.
Will Beck Absolutely sir. I had some downtime at work when I watched this.. I had to walk outside after and take a take a brief breath of fresh air and a short walk... for those that cant. God bless
HeavyHandz Gaming your niceness has showed me that not everyone in this world is bad even after watching this video ❤️
@David Dez absolutely, what's your paypal
Will Beck recently been remembering all this. I’m from England and I was 19 when it happened. I remember the picture of Dylan on the front of the Newspaper, I remember thinking ‘Jesus Christ what’s happened to this place’. It reminded me of Dunblane. I actually had a job to do in Dunblane a few years ago(I’m an electrician) and I saw the school building, and it gave me chills. It’s always sickening when the school shootings happen, my little boy is ten, thankfully security is a lot tighter nowadays regarding visitors to schools. But how it happened to you guys, you had no chance. I totally disagreed with the fact the cops didn’t enter the building though, that was a bad move. Thank god you survived to tell the tale, and god bless you for sharing it with us. I always spare a thought for the columbine victims, it seems like yesterday. Look after yourself 👍
“I’m just trying to live my best life, for the people who couldn’t.” - kinda made me tear up
imagine if the bombs they set in the cafeteria had gone off... an even bigger tragedy. this gave me chills
This should have been way longer 🙌🏽 wow what an interview...20 years later and you still can never forget.
That's what she said, "This should have been way longer".😂

BudSilverado what a sick joke!
+Danna . I kid I kid.
Only when he has Instagram models ;)
Easily my favorite ”chatting with”
pink Floyd only has 2 good songs
This guys voice is so soothing even though he's talking about such a terrible occurrence. I just want to listen to him tell stories all day. I really like the mindset he's come out with as well. I live with depression and there are times where if I try to make myself happy, I only feel worse, so I switched to trying to make other people happy. Their reactions give me real happiness that I can't achieve myself.
MrPaulOnion same
MrPaulOnion wow, you just gave me an aha moment. Like, I’m the same way. I just never thought of it like that until I read this.
wonderful comment

Their father's in a morgue and they say they haven't heard from him in two days, not even knowing. That's one of the craziest things I've heard.
I started tearing up when he started talking about Dave Sanders. This was a really touching episode
Provocateur bullshit. „More guns against guns“ Will Never understand that American thing...
Provocateur Well out of all the states that are guarded or allow guns on campus, none of them have experienced a school shooting.
@@Patrick-ct4hl trained teachers with weapons reduce the risk of a crazy person wanting to shoot up a school because it would basically be suicide

@@Patrick-ct4hl and also Switzerland requires every citizen to own a gun and go through gun training and it's the safest country to live in in the whole world
Wow the way he turned around his mindset to help others and to live his life to the fullest was so courageous we can all learn a lot from that.
Great, now if I dont live my life to the fullest not only will I feel shitty, but also shame all the people who died before me and didnt have a chance....
Kill others
@Tal Don’t bother, probably a 13 year old who just discovered shit memes and edgy jokes.
USMCLP 13? *13?* seriously? I’d be 36 if I weren’t dead yet. Come on kid, do your math correctly.
@Eric Harris Oh so you’re 36 years old making shit memes and edgy jokes? Okay you fucking donut.
This is one that maybe Andrew should have familiarized himself with the incident a little more because this is some real shit.
58000 kids died id vietnam are you familiar with that?
@@mica122213 Is he doing an interview with someone on that topic?
Joeybabbs .BABBS plz I want to hear your response, you sound very intellectual
@@mica122213 tragedy is relative
Good question Professor Genius why dont you conduct an interview with them so we can hear it !
I can’t imagine what he went through. God bless him.

I’m 35. I’ll tell you... Anyone in America who was in high school when this shooting happened was traumatized. It changed everything. It changed everyone. All of the schools in America changed. Counseling programs changed. The flashback made me cry. I feel for this dude.
🔥💃🏼
diaryofhermind yes!! So true
The high school I graduated from removed all the lockers, the whole county did at every high school.
Pete Tommaso we still had our lockers but a lot definitely changed
i’m in high school and every day there’s a school shooting
that's crazy, the wannabe gang bangers in high school were threating to shoot who they were beefing with. Other than that I don't think anyone wanted to shoot up the whole school
The guy in the video please read this. Okay I finished watching. That was a great video, and I could see in your eyes that the things you saw still haunt you. I think I speak for all of us when I say that I can’t imagine the things you went through. Thank you for sharing your story I’m sure it was very hard to even do that. Like you said, despite the bad things that happened, you are a lucky guy. I’m glad you were here to tell that story and give me inspiration.
Thanks man
What a story. This guy has been through something no person should have to go through & came out the other side deciding to help others & be a positive influence. Something we should all strive for in hard times. Thanks for sharing!
can I have ur snap
Thanks! Spread the goodness!
this is pretty disturbing to hear.. can't imagine it happening at my school. would probably shit myself while the adrenaline rushes through my veins
Fuck off I got work to do if you’ve ever seen the footage of the Las Vegas shooting , that shit is fuckin chilling , or the Douglas stone man highschool .. the screams man , but Vegas is even more terrifying for me since it was pitch black and the shooter was elevated , no matter where he shot he was killing people
same id be frozen.
This almost happened at my high school. The kid brought a gun but never planned on using it. When we went in lockdown I gave my backpack to my teacher and just ran out the school. Trust me, you don’t want to be sitting there in your classroom while there is a legitimate armed person on campus.
When I was in middle school years ago, there was a kid that shot another kid in the back of the head about 20 feet away from me in the hallway. It was during a break so there were a ton of people talking the halls. It sounded like a balloon popping, so everyone was just kind of confused at first, but seconds later everyone started running into classrooms. I stood there for a minute like an idiot still wondering what was happening. The guy with the gun locked eyes with me for second, and that's when I knew what happened so I ran as fast I could away into a classroom. Very scary situation.
InfinityReptar damn man that’s crazy. Could you find a news link or something on the story?
Excellent interview. The pollce force did an awful job during Columbine. I'm really happy that you guys didn't say the names of the shooters because over the years there's always been the main focus on them and not enough on the victims and their families.
lovinliverpool they shouldn’t have even came in the first place
Rip to the victims but Studying psychopath serial killers is more fascinating than deceased victims. The media doesn't care.
+Eric Harris if you know your history. they had mental illness. and needed help . and started this .
@@siphor4402 natural selection!
@@missleo2003 no. They realized everyone was scum and wiped out the weak organisms. I suggest you read your Darwin.

Great message. I’m not religious but I can definitely learn from this guy.
It's not about religion, it's about a relationship with Jesus, man. Everyone needs it.
Ceej k
Are you trolling? What you said makes no sense.
It’s not about religion but a relationship with Jesus?
A man who’s been dead for more than 2 millennia.
That’s like saying it’s not about religion but about having a relationship with the prophet Muhammad. Everyone needs it.
What are you attacking me for? If you want to understand and know truth, seek it out.

WOW. That was the best interview. He's so articulate and just to hear the story from someone who was there 20 years later, and how it's affected and changed him, wow. Thanks to him for sharing his story with us!
Mr. Sanders story will always make me so sad. His poor family.
I do miss the pranks but these videos are just as entertaining but in a different way. Keep it em coming OTAY OTAY

Yeah, and after it we can all jet back to his place and pop in a blue-ray.

Shit I was paranoid after the shooting at my college right at the beginning of second semester of my senior year. I tweaked anytime I was in a classroom with only one way out. I can’t imagine this one.
It's so weird knowing I live right next to it right now

Do you go there ??
I'm so humbled by how much courage this guy had in sharing his experience and talking about growing from it. And the courage he has everyday to rise above what happened - incredible. Hoping the rest of his life is filled with immense happiness and peace.
Alicia Marie thanks!!
@@willbeck8189 of course. Thank YOU though.
This is a really good one, he seems to think a lot about it and it changed his life for the better in some ways. His last statement is very well put and has a lot of meaning.
The ending few minutes of this video gives you so much respect for this man, and for others that have been through similar traumatic experiences. Life does go on for survivors, but it is not without constant reminders. Beautiful video.
Will is a champion. It can't be easy to talk about this but it's so powerful and inspiring. Nothing but love to all the people out there who have endured a tragedy and come through stronger for themselves and all of us.
My goodness this was absolutely chilling but honestly it’s the best one and most life changing one imo.
tbh these chatting withs are otay with me
Otay?

Great interview. Total respect to this guy for speaking about a very difficult and tragic experience. I especially like what he said at the end about asking yourself what you can do for others when faced with personal problems, etc.
Great interview. The interviewee does a great job of putting you in the shoes of someone there on that tragic day. God be with the victims and survivors.
my favourite chatting with so far
Great interview. Such a traumatic experience which he had to go through.
Bless this man. I love what he said about helping others when you're going through your own pain/trauma. He's a good man, great advice.
Andrew, I've watched all of your interviews and this one is the best, by far. Will is a very strong person and his message is powerful. Please thank him kindly for sharing his experience with us (and also for securing you a fat retirement).
Damn this was definitely one of my favorite chatting withs. Great message at the end too, thank you
Amazing interview, you handled it really well, didn’t need to say much as he’s a great speaker
I've been looking for this type of video for EVER
This series continues to be among my favorites on the whole CZcams.
"I don't remember anything about the book or the test..." Well that's understandable 😔
Love this guy and his story. What a great guy that stands for great tings
easily top 3 of these interviews you've done, thanks for this
Thank you for this interview Andrew. Beautiful.
This was heartwarming. Much love I want him to be my financial advisor aha !
I read the two books about Rachel Scott, the first victim to be killed during the shooting, one of which included her journal. She was such a beautiful soul inside and out who seemed to have a better grasp on what matters in life than most adults do. Her selflessness and joy for life has truly inspired me to live a better life and follow my life passions and life purpose of facilitating out the best in others and helping them not only get off of drugs but to go on a live amazing lives of purpose, a purpose that is greater than themselves, in service to humanity.
My heart goes out to all of the victims, their families, and those who were at the school that day 🙏❤️😔
Rachel is my inspiration
This 1 on 1 with this gentleman was genuinely amazing. Great man, and what a way to live on
I wish this one was longer, such a good episode
Praise JESUS I’m so glad he found the beauty after such an atrocity God bless this man and the survivors better days are coming
2:54
i walked up the hill and saw them shooting and i was like; "oh crap" *chuckles*.
I do the same thing when discussing painful memories, idk why. I guess it's a coping mechanism of sorts.
Jon KnowsNothing it takes away the awkwardness and negative severities that are mentioned.
This was eye opening to how someone’s life can change in a split second, one of your best interviews🙏🏼
These interviews are absolutely brilliant Andrew.
I'm glad he's able to smile at all after such a thing. That's something.
Great interview subject...what an achievement your interview series, Andrew. Real collection of interesting human stories. Well done.
That’s some really good advice from that guy. I hope some kids who have been thru these things watch this video it’s very encouraging.
Such a brave, inspirational man. Thank you for sharing your story. 🥀
Fantastic wisdom from this young man. As a combat veteran I can understand his appreciation for life and friends and family.
angry ranger thanks, appreciate your service!
chatting with a monk
that would be fire
I can still watch the old pranks and laugh, but I’m so glad you’ve transitioned to Chatting Withs. I recommend these to everybody - such interesting stories and lives.
You could see the fear in his eyes throughout the entire story. Thank you very much for the upload and I’m very sorry for your ordeal sir.
Damn this is sad. My anxiety was going crazy this whole video
WHY DOES THE INTERVIEWER LOOK LIKE HES GONNA BUST OUT LAUGHING IN THE BEGINNING LMAOOO
Great conversation, thank you.
Wow this was so powerful. Thank you andrew. Your raw interviews are strong.
it's awesome that he could just tell his story without being interrupted
Wow such a amazing man!, you’re honestly a inspiration you made me open my eyes up more! ❤️
This is an awesome interview. I hope it's as eye opening to others as it was to me just now. Let's get mental health addressed once and for all to end these massacres
These interviews just keep getting better and better
My 6th grade social studies teacher was a columbine survivor. When ever I hear the news that a shooting happened. I think of him.
Liked it already, whoops.
Rico Highway that’s 0t4y
What an inspirational video. Incredible that he was able to take this tragic situation and turn it into motivation to live life to the fullest for those who can't.
God Bless Ya, Will. I remember this day like yesterday. You made it, bro. I mourn the loss of your friends.
That's heavy
why so short
Jonathan McArthur
Not even. He rushed his story
you think someone who lived through that wants to talk about it for an extended period of time?
@@norseman3514 yeah, my dad saw many of his friends die in war, and he loves talking about war, how it was, weapons and he could talk about it for hours.
@@kayb9489 Well with him your dad it could be him being proud of service or his way of dealing with PTSD.
Norseman Same concept with seeing your friends die. I bet his Grandpa was in Vietnam, and if that’s the case, good chance he was drafted or young and dumb. Some people are okay talking bout it, others aren’t
Will is such an awesome guy. I cant even fathom being so close to that trauma. I'm amazed that this man has the perspective to want to serve others after such a horrible life event.
Such a good interview, props to Andrew for not asking as many questions and letting this man speak his mind
Interesting timing. Mass shooting in CA the night of this upload
Andrew Esquivel
Any day you upload a video there’s a good chance a shooting just happened or is going to happen.
Indari key word: mass
Yeah Jimmy, in the USA there is a mass killing more approximately once a day.
Virtus Brædder Opstrup 307 mass shootings in 312 days.
NubletPie278 Why isn’t there a breaking news story regarding a mass shooting everyday then?
Very interesting. I wish this one had been longer though.
What happened to these people is horrific. So strong to relive all of this and share his story ❤️🙏🏼 bless you
I love what he said at the end, about helping someone else if you're down or hurting in some way. I really like that.
the GUEST becomes the HOST. Andrew needs alot of work lmao to become Jay Leno, keep grinding Andy. Props to the Guest
Yeah Andrew is fucking horrible lol.
Seems like a great guy, super inspiring too.
What an insightful interview about the day of the Columbine shooting. When he retold everything that happened, I could visualize in my mind what it looked like, the bathroom, the auditorium, the hill etc.
Truly a great interview, and seems like a very humble and good guy. He seems to have done well for himself since then. Thanks for this.
Heartbreaking, an incredible interview. Wow.
Did the interviewer do ANY research before this?
His whole thing is casual conversation. That being said, he should have done more research.
Vid was too short mannn. I wanna hear this guy talk more , it was a very good interview !
Love to you! "Live life to fullest to live for them", well said. Thanks for sharing
He has such an open face and heart. Very vulnerable and authentic.
His response to Andrew mentioning Mr. Sanders was very disappointing. That teacher was a hero and just a little bit of research would show that.
babyboo097 Agreed! I live in the UK and immediately knew who Mr Sanders was
i dont think he wanted to go too deep into it because he was close to that guy.. his eyes started tearing up at the point when he mentioned he was one who died... his eyes stayed that way for the rest of the interview. and he didnt take anything from him. he said he was engaged immediately.. you fucks might think a little.. he was probably the first person that told the teacher about it. he might the reason the teacher is dead. he might know that...ffs.
Shut the fuck up. He clearly was emotional and choked up talking about it. Gonna sit there behind a keyboard and criticize someone that experienced a tragedy like this, that you have no idea what it’s like. Your stupid ass comment is what’s disappointing.
@@kevinparsley6806 also telling the teacher would have saved many students lives as well
Well i didnt. Cant memorize every person and every name you ever heared of.
