Hey everyone! As I’ve mentioned on a few occasions, I wanted to get out a version of the current cave videos with a different background track for everyone who finds the classic one to be too repetitive. This video also features an extended version of the Plura Cave Disaster, Mossdale with pictures and video only, and slowed and leveled audio for a better listening experience (Mossdale is still a bit rough because it was recorded on video initially). The next video will be all new content once again! Thank you all for watching!
Spelunking is a nah for me. Once you realize you made a mistake it's too late. Some primal sense of self-preservation forbids me from ever setting foot into a cave. Too many stories like these
All these stories make me want to go cave exploring.
All of these stories, they remind me of why I will never do any of this.
I just found your channel and I love your videos! There is something about cave disasters or near disasters that is so terrifying and fascinating and you do a great job of balancing the two. Keep up the good work!
You’re awesome! I love these videos! Instead of putting Hulu on I watch your videos right before I fall asleep
Yoo ive been to crystal cave i have a magnet and all that it was awesome
It's better Marcel died, if me had lived after the fall I'm sure it would have been a nightmare.
It sounds like the speed was altered just enough to alter Mr Ballens voice. I'm suspicious
This first story is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Why would anyone attempt something so dangerous just for fun or adventure? STUPID
These have been my bedtime stories. Thank you
I have made comments about the stupidity of these guys. I feel bad for that im sorry. People died. Just think a couple of the guys should not have been there.
What an absolutely brilliant storyteller! These videos are positively riveting. This channel represents the best of YouTube. Kudos Mr. Scary Interesting.
When your doing something where being panicked can get you killed, you know it’s extremely dangerous.
Moral of the first story…. Don’t go cave diving with people named Jari.
The hole they cut in the ice gives me anxiety
There should be an option on youtube to not recommend me these videos at nught
Brb, going to find some local caves around my house and see what the hype is all about
I’d never find myself in any cave, but in the impossible case that I was trapped in a cave I give the rescuers permission to maim me in any way possible that will get me unstuck
Man, I love your channel and videos! You explain everything as if ur telling a potential diver that knows nothing yet. Its extremely helpful and I feel more engaged cuz I know anything I'm not sure of will be explained in the easiest way to comprehend. Thank you for all the time and dedication you put into each one.
Diving is as dangerous as any activity that you should be highly trained for.
The plura cave disaster is a gong show. They all sounded completely incompetent and never should have been doing diving that’s so dangerous.
I'll never understand a person who decides to do something so risky and deadly just to see some brown rocks in a narrow, underwater cave.
Scary Interesting is SCARY GOOOOOOD!!! 🥰
All the people have a death wish and they got their wish.
I would have thought that "backup winch" would be pretty high on the list of necessities when planning an expedition that must begin and end with an 1100' vertical ride on the end of a cable for every member of the team. I also would have expected that all harness attach points and rigging would be checked and double checked… y'know, like riggers do when lifting stuff that isn't a fragile human. Unbelievable that a man died in such a known hazardous situation due to a bolt working loose.
This is when smart whitewashed privileged people do when they're bored. Just trying to disgrace their and ancestors in the worst way.
I love your music choices personally 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I had hoped that Floyd would be rescued. So sad.
Fuck every bit if this
Hey, Scary Interesting: This comment might be worth reading
So I'm a 32 year old Canadian woman who's father is one of, if not currently the most prominent caver in Jamaica. I've been in my share, including ones with big drops and army-crawl-through-mud sections. I'm also claustrophobic and have a strong survival instinct and can vividly, to the extent I have panic attacks, imagine the kinds of situations you describe in these videos.
That's kinda all just backstory. Main thing I wanted to say is that – listen. These stories, with the quality of presentation and research you put into them, as terrifying as they can be, you also do an amazing job presenting them. These are really compelling stories even when your phobias get triggered by them.
AND btw, free ego boost for you: Having not been in a cave or done much outdoors for almost a decade due to depression, watching your channel, particularly the caving stories, is genuinely making me want to get back into at least one more cave in my life. The key, though, is to not take a single risk ever. Don't take risks in caves. Just don't. Research, find safe ones, take it slow, don't go any further than you already know is safe.
Good job, Scary Interesting. Great channel. And everyone else – caves are fucking awesome, just do it as safe as possible in proven caves. Go down to Jamaica and look up the Jamaican Caves Organization. My dad'll take you in and out safe as can be.
Europeans are genetically exceedingly strange compared to other haplogroups.
What a completely different cultural reality this story manifests.
My 1 rule has saved me during every caving experience:
Don't go in a fucking cave.
So basically people who do this kind of thing should classified as crazy.
John Jones's story in the Nutty Putty Cave is hands down the worst story I've ever heard of. It defies my personal hell. I cringe even thinking about it let alone seeing it.
But Mr Ballen told the story in more detail
Would you go caving?
Can I just say you have a great voice for narration. I could listen to you read instruction manuals and probably enjoy it lol 😆
YAS u took the criticism!!❤️❤️ the video was great! keep it up
just listening to these stories as i work is giving me anxiety!
Lol British diver. They acted exactly like those nuclear plant worker.
Hmm.
Nice and loud 🔊 audio. Thanks so much 👍
Tragically, Floyd Collins was doomed the moment that first rock fell and pinned his ankle, because it was 1925 and doctor's did not yet understood crush injuries and compartment syndrome. This is when a person suffers a crushing injury where blood flow is restricted by the object trapping them. Waste products build up in the affected area and when the crushing object is removed, those waste products flood back through the body leading to heart failure and/or the failure of other major organs.
the saddest thing about nutty putty was just how close they were to freeing him.
10 inches by 2 feet, crawling through water, in the dark. OH HELL NO.
I hate that these people died doing this but it's also hard to not see this happening when all of these people were told in countless ways not to do that which they done that ultimately cost all of them their very lives I really do hate that they have died it's tragic but none of them had to happen the guy in Kentucky is the most tragic for him and his family threw days of torment
John Jones’s story makes me cry…. it’s so sad that one simple mistake can ruin someone life so quickly. i can’t even imagine being upside down for 5 hours…. and the fact he was a doctor and knew exactly what was happening to his body…. just terrifying.
