![Horrific Motorcycle Crash on Mexico Road Kills 4-Year-Old-Boy [St. Peters, MO]](https://www.theviralist.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Horrific-Motorcycle-Crash-on-Mexico-Road-Kills-4-Year-Old-Boy-St-Peters-300x200.jpg)
The story of Anna B. Wouldn’t have been possible without the research of Germany in the mid 1940’s (if you know whom I’m talking about)
Nicely done as usual. A minor grammar point: The word "unbeknownst" is used in a construction like "unbeknownst to the mailman, the barking dog was actually quite friendly." You can't say, "unbeknownst to the impending danger"; it has to be to someone, to a person who can know. Instead you could use, "unaware of" or "ignorant of" or "oblivious to" the impending danger.
Amongst the avalanche of horrible human events we are bombarded with daily, these stories help me to remember that many people are good, that heroes who come to these survivor's rescue are real.
As an aside, regarding traumatic events/bad memories, many mental health issues, from PTSD to Anxiety to Phobias, are exacerbated (Made Worse) by Avoidance.

Fantastic and inspiring episode!
Great inspiring episode.
One of the best stories ever❤
The video I was waiting for.. I know just about all of these stories and they still give me goose bumps.
In the third story, the guy's niece survived too based on an article I found. Elisiva was able to stay afloat on a piece of wood and was soon found.
OMG the last 2 stories I had not yet heard until this morning. How terrifying for those two men to go through that! I have a fear of large bodies of water, especially after watching a drowning victim being pulled from a local lake. I commend Okini for overcoming his PTSD, and admire him for becoming a certified diver.
Great stories of survival! Inspirational stories from outdoor disasters YouTubes best! Thoroughly enjoyed all of them and found myself shaking my head as too how some of these people conjured up the energy to do the impossible!
God had directed me to this video, it was to remind me God has my back. But I have work to do and not to be afraid and it will all work out. These stories are giving me hope to carry out the actions I need to do. These stories should give people hope and a fighting spirit not to panic and to have a faith and pray. Prayers to the people who lost their lives, who survived and the first responders and their families. Blessings
@outdoordisaters, thank you for your hard work. I echo other commentators in appreciation of your narration, compassion and the high quality of your videos.
Omg I love this one I had tears I’m over here clapping lol I just loved it thank you for all of your videos I watch them or listen while I’m cleaning up before I go to bed I’m obsessed 😂❤❤❤!!!
This was a great video. Such hopeful and terrifying tales. Thanks for the video.
Love your voice and narration. I also appreciate how compassionate you are for each situation you cover.
Please stop.
Such bs
Hey the video of the boat sinking. That was an episode of Mythbusters!
Every traumatizing story in this video breaks my heart then glues it back together. I am literally crying for the 23 year old that went over a cliff and was there a week and then the story of the man who lost his whole crew members and was stuck 100 feet underwater in the boat. Oh my God!!! Thank you for telling these story’s. When I get depressed and sad I will remember what all of these amazing people overcame, and I will never think life is to much to deal with!! Amazing people. 🩷🩷🙏🏽🙏🏽🩵🩵
Cracking a case of Bud Ice for this marathon. Great work
Wow! It's a great day when we get this much time listening to these inspiring stories & there are some real pictures shown I haven't seen from these stories I've heard quite a bit. Great job covering all of these, no easy task covering all this, keep up the hard work brother. Suggestion, would you be able or willing to do a short video about yourself and how you come to start the channel? I'm always interested in how content creators such as yourself got into this and what your biography is, thanks
I knew this channel would blow up! I was here before the 5k-50k- 1mil
It seems like almost every story that ends in death rings the same, while survival stories are all unique. Always love a good survival story, thank you for sharing.
Wow all of these are crazy
You're so awesome!!! Love to see you upload unexpectedly!! I know you're new, but you're really rocking your channel! Keep up the hard work!❤️
He told God to shove the red cross where it fits best 😂
Haven't commented on YT in prob 10 years. Hands down, absolutely love the copy, your voice, and the content. Top 3 channels for me all time brother. Ryan in Singapore. ❤
Thank you so much for that almost hour long episode 👍❤️, I could seriously fall alseep listening to your soothing voice … mr ( I know your not ) morgan freeman 🤣🤣
I eagerly wait for these to be posted. Thank you.
Wow!! That was GREAT!! Such a fantastic channel!! 😊 Thank you so much for another awesome and interesting video!!!
Where's the scene from in around 1:00 where 1 stranded woman tries to rescue another on the beach?
Awesome!
Leeettss goooo!
Survivor stories are excellent! Whether it’s from resourcefulness, sheer luck…in any case, it’s inspiring to hear these sort of tales.
I've seen them all at least 3 times!
It's such a shame they didn't do more. And for those who want to watch, I'd advise you to skip the first 3 minutes to avoid being spoilt from the start of the show!
