I don't have claustrophobia, but thinking about this dude is about as close as I get. What an awful way to die, and I can't imagine how insane you have to be to enjoy this hobby.

[–] [email protected] 79 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You'd have to be really nutty.

Dude had a very long time to contemplate and regret every choice he made that caused him to end up in that situation

[–] [email protected] 35 points 10 months ago

Not that long. Once the blood started pooling in his head, things probably got weird.

[–] SupraMario 25 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This is the time where I'd be like you can break whatever is needed to get me out of this fucking hole. I'll scream but keep pulling.

[–] LucasWaffyWaf 17 points 9 months ago (8 children)

IIRC if they broke his legs to get him out he very likely could have died from shock.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

That sounds better

Damn I thought Saddam Hussein had it bad

[–] 100_percent_a_bot 19 points 9 months ago

At least he had a fan and an air vent

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

There's only an 80° difference between then.

Watched internet historians youtubevideo about the dude.Damn horrible situation...

[–] hOrni 93 points 10 months ago (5 children)

Now go watch hbomberguy's video about plagiarism to be aware of how much of this Internet Historians video is stolen.

[–] TrendigOsthyvel 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Cool, looks like a lot of video to watch, I'll take your word for it. Not too surprising thinking about it.

[–] hOrni 36 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (6 children)

Maybe not surprising, but still disappointing. I liked IH videos, but knowing that a lot of it is stolen, puts a stain on it. But at least it explains why his videos tend to disappear from his channel.

Edit: The IH part starts at around 1:25:00 and lasts 20 minutes.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Was he the guy who also kept making all sorts of Nazi references?

We should really have a spelunking agency go around closing off these "no room to turn around" passageways because as fun as these caver types are personally, they're also the kind of morons who see a very obviously dangerous hole off the recommended path and think "LEZZDOIIIIIIIIT!" Basically most of the cast of "As Above So Below", "What's that, this supposed passageway to hell is shifting in ways to reveal passages that are unknown even to this expert catacomb guide despite his tag being on the walls? LET'S KEEP GOING!"

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Abandoned mine explores too. Hey! Arsenic water and 100 year old dynamite! Geotechnical hazards! LETS GOOOOOO

The story about a man stuck in a cave that gave me nightmares forever, after watching the video, this new story can't hurt me anymore:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnI_oZKxzl0
Watch it, the way the story is told is great, a classic! 10/10 nightmares, will watch again!

Edit: I was made aware that the video plagiarised heavily an article by someone else, so I leave the link to the original work here too: https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/544782/1925-cave-rescue-that-captivated-the-united-states-floyd-collins

[–] Mago 22 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Just FYI, that whole video is plagiarised from an article written by someone else.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] SuperApples 20 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but the video has been deleted and reuploaded several times after been called out.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

I edited my comment and added the original article. Again, thanks for pointing out the problem, really appreachiate it!

[–] SuperApples 16 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

For any cave dweller who haven't seen it, here's Hbomberguy talking about the history of this video and it's plagiarism, as @Mago alluded to. https://piped.video/watch?v=yDp3cB5fHXQ&t=5071 (if the timecode doesn't work, it's arond the 1:24~25 mark.

Reading about the attempt to rescue him gave me claustrophobia.

Nutty putty cave incident for those that are curious.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest 19 points 9 months ago (2 children)

okay but what if I'm only going to stay there 24 hours and then die? Do I still have to pay for a whole month?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Please arrange a professional clean prior to vacating or we will arrange our own and the cost will be forwarded to you. Thanks.

Yes. Plus security deposit. We're going to need to hire security for the crowd that will gather outside when we pull out your corpse.
