  1. Not to mention she was written from the perspective of Tony in Iron Man given it was his movie. Additionally it was Tony’s WEAKNESS - precisely what she was there to exploit. She was a Sex object but let’s not forget that’s how she found herself sitting on Tony’s armchair the night of his birthday party helping him pick out his Jaeger. She delivered the single most important line of dialogue that directly led to Tony making decisions that forever altered his character and officially gave SHIELD their foothold: “I would do whatever I wanted to do, with whomever I wanted to do it with.” I too thought the entire point was her fully using her assets as she successfully infiltrated the inside circle of one of the most powerful, revered men in science on the planet without detection. But stands to reason she also was likely a badass if her op called for it. Don’t know why those would be at odds. Great vid, sir!

  2. I’ve been to one part of Nahanni and was struck by 2 things: 1. it was incredibly foggy which I didn’t understand at the time. 2. It was quiet. I’m talking deserted quiet. Have you seen alien covenant? It felt like when they landed on that unknown planet following the neutrino burst. I was doing some writing for a project and after going ended up speculating the stories were from other prospectors as a way to keep others from stripping the resources so only a limited people could extract material. Which unfortunately meant they had to follow through on this. It’s the only thing that made sense given the theatrics and shear effort of removing human heads. And in a weird way it did work. I never bought it was any original peoples. As you correctly stated it was far too inhospitable for too many major distributions - enough to warrant that kind of violence. But that’s just my take on it . Could be revenge kills. Not a big believe in cryptids and don’t know any land animals capable of that either

  3. 9:40 this expansion of his stomach actually serves as an effective, albeit morbid, explanation of the dangers of diving and pressure to a layman

  4. 8:12 one thing to note here that might have cut against Charles is despite Hans’ undeniable skill, he also brought his wife and four small children. As a native Cincinnatian I find myself wanting to make sense of Hall’s choices but man can you imagine already not respecting the guy then he adds SIX more mouths - five of them non mission critical to the objectives in the final hour? Thats a brutal sell I can’t even imagine

  5. 22:12 as I was reading the reports I was reading this as more akin to ‘death rattle’ than a “snoring”. At that point, consciousness was likely fleeting and the body was in protection mode. I doubt by then proper “sleep”, or rather sleep by choice is more accurate, was even possible and more the body in self preservation mode. Horrifying stuff - thanks for the reminder to be thankful for life!

  6. You’ve done it! Congrats brother I know this was a tedious one for you and props to tackling it with precision and a tight script. I really hope the response is both affirming and conducive to you taking more of the mountaineering tragedies. They deserve the justice this channel brings to their stories.

  7. It’s important to note Shawn never had any agreement with his captor. An agreement is one predicated legally in good faith. An imperfect & very crude way to illustrate this contrast is if a perp agrees with law enforcement to a plea deal made under duress or for a specific example something like the Guðmundur and Geirfinnur case. He was psychologically manipulated to the extreme with the threat of mortal violence against him and his family while being isolated and habitually tortured. That’s not an agreement. That’s called survival. It’s an instinct that pushes the human body and mind to survive long beyond what is normally capable. His ability to stay mentally sane and lucid in over 1500 days of captivity is remarkable. In these cases ppl often conflate freedom of movement with freedoms from captivity. But they neglect the burden of manipulation Shawn’s under like him being made to feel responsible for the death of his entire family or ppl not believing him and enduring another drawn out torture session. When he truly felt alone and no one would help, his brain just survived. It’s truly heartbreaking man what a strong kid.

  9. Ironically this channel has one of the best, if not the best, sound mixes on the platform for this category. I’m using headphones to listen and do sound engineering for other people and wouldn’t change a thing. But that’s just my own preference. Not arguing , but adding to the qualitative research as he considers what to do bc I know he heads this stuff.

  10. 1:25 add a zero mate. Which indeed id think was a typo but the attack sub displaced 24,000* tons submerged. Baffling.

  11. This is a super complex story as you know better than most. For these, just an unsolicited suggestion, consider habitually showing on screen dynamic map identifying the location and movement of each separate party. Almost like a call of duty mini map or the red dead redemption display which is great at highlighting locations. Basically combining 14:55 and 15:05. Individually these are fantastic but together I’d imagine they’d be even stronger. Basically 18:15 but sticking to one design for simplicity sake and shown regularly. Just a thought! Ignore at your discretion. Not only to remind ppl of names, but also to illuminate the distances between each group. I almost exclusively listen to these not watch but because I know this story I would refer back to the video at the confusing parts. It’s hard for someone to grasp I bet how far apart these parties got and doomed it was really was the moment they dwindled down the supplies with each camp. I was imagining showing the supply chunk with each party on the map following the last until you can visibly see how little they actually had with them. It looks like a suicide run when you consider how irresponsible the navigation was handled. For instance even ignoring the wisdom the Aborigines or the Makasan’s (not meaning to offend if that’s the colonial title just using the historical reference), they still had the expedition from Ludwig Leichhardt which almost surely had mentions of mangroves and other useful information, no? That’s always been my assumption. I liken it to Walter Raleigh attempting to establish camp in Roanoke without actually speaking with the Roanoke , Wanchese, etc or using other exploration notes. It would be mad to try that. Burke’s expedition was truly an impossibly underprepared trip woefully mismanaged and undersupplied with proper materials to be successful. With most of the hurdles being known had they surveyed correctly using the 3 entire years they squabbled over less important details. Speaking of, you really should consider that Roanoke colony expedition for a story. It’s not really as mysterious as people make it out to be. Buzzfeed brutally butchered the story providing so many historical inaccuracies that tons of people saw it’ll make your head spin. The unsolved mysteries podcast did much better but without visuals of course.

  12. I hope you one day tell the horrors of the Stanfield father and son trip - this episode just made me think of it . As far as I can tell it’s true and truly horrendous. The concept of being trapped under ice swept away by the flow of the river is about as tortuous as it gets. Keep up the fantastic work sir!

  13. Atleast you’re pointing it out and I know you’re being objective but i sure hope the conversation shifts (and actually has to a large degree bc of the NTSB) to stop conflating ‘sometimes’ or even ‘most of the time’ responsible pilots, outdoorsmen, etc with the blanket designation of a qualified and responsible individual notwithstanding this current incident. Responsible pilots, outdoorsmen, divers, etc don’t forget mission critical packs on flights. I’ve read many dozens of NTSB incident reports you will almost never find this kind of language, if ever. The standard is you’re able to perform basic duties and anything less is a human performance issue. This is nuanced when it’s a small error or tricky situation to which it might be a mitigating factor but a survival pack? Good god. That’s like failing to remove pitot tube covers for example. And you check your own plane as well as maintain it? You’re not a responsible airman I truly don’t care what anyone says. Lives are at stake. The bar has been set by countless pilots who are responsible for human life with spotless Performance records. We should not dilute that by lowering this benchmark to qualify a deadly incident so as to otherwise lump in an individual making egregious errors others would not think of making. Not mistakes like this. Bc more than likely history shows anyone who can make that mistake, has made others either just like it or in a similar degree of error. The incident report for this crash (OAK68A0032) digitized in the NTSB archives is very frank about the causes as well. Chief among them the pilots improper operation of power plant as well as improper de-icing /failed to take action against. As well as pilot operation “beyond experience/ability level”. Deicing here wouldn’t be a deicing system like boots or anything but more a general addressing of the ice build up in a weather situation they knew for a fact they’d encounter and continued into despite VFR and high obstructions re: terrain. The carb ice is of particular concern imo. In the 195 this was well known to be an issue and is called “carb ice”. The solution was equally known; carb heat. This requires methodical and habitual checking of carb heat systems . In the very least record carefully apropos rpm dips When carb heat is engaged.

  14. Only bc I’m sure you considered it, one could argue then that Tambora is the deadliest mountain. The devastation in that eruption 2 centuries ago is hard to even wrap my mind around.

  15. 22:40 I’ve literally dislocated my hip which I feel like is pretty rare for a young person. It happened when I was 14 too in a very odd fluke accident playing football. To dislocate your hip and not break it is incredibly difficult. It would take very, very intentional movement. I’m highly skeptical someone could maneuver themselves in such a position methodically in the immense amount of pain it would require gently enough also to not break your hips in the process. The impact of dislocating a hood is the painful part. The actual action itself wasn’t painful just highly disturbing have an entire leg in the complete opposite direction then just uncomfortable like it fell asleep. But the MOMENT I even moved it in any way or anyone touched it it was utter agony. There’s simply no possible way that part he could endure for any extended period of time and not lose consciousness

  16.  @ScaryInteresting I’ll shoot you an email in the existing chain so it doesn’t go to spam or anything. I’ll try to categorize by “phenomena” or incident cluster (eg CFIT, ditch, spacial disorientation, rudder hardover, DC9, props, AOA/sensor, icing, human performance, etc)

  17. As a content creator I very rarely enjoy things away from my niche. Was up til 4am rewatching the series last night haha back here to catch up - they should cut you a commission 😂 they do it for BuzzFeed Unsolved, just saying haha also I’m sure you’re sick of this but unsolicited consideration/ recommendation: have you considered doing more popular, dramatic films but multiple in one video? I pictured the trend by insider and all those channels. It would surely pop in the algorithm and you’re actually the expert so it’s very doable for you. Eg: Dark Knight Rises, Planet of the Apes. A little less on the nose than the previous ones like your Crimson Tide video (excellently the way).The reach would be huge and you’d make intimidating concepts even more accessible. Also, more in line with your previous content, I’ve always wished someone like you did this for Zero Days, the Stuxnet doc. It’s one of my favorite dramatic “non fiction”s but for some reason not many have heard of it. Anyways, disregard all of this of course. Glad I stumbled here tho. Alright back to the program!

  18. 4:45 this is such a fascinating case for me too. And the one case you’ve covered that even as you describe her escape scenario, seems the most well explained of all. She was very, very regimented. It’s precisely in her nature to commence a series of perfectly executed maneuvers to disappear under ideal circumstances . In my opinion, this is such a great case to benchmark other cases similar to this and the importance of good investigatory work re: the habits of those who disappear and potential motivations. For me the linchpin in the priest. I’ve tried to discredit them but at the end of the day, they truly had no reason to lie. Doesn’t mean they are being honest, and not very priest is good, but there’s certainly downsides to inventing slanderous information after the fact for such a public figure. Idk man, crazy story. And it’s only the first one of the video! Great work boss

  19. 20:15 this has been a fascinating case - never been sure what to make of him honestly but I do doubt especially now this use of cell ping would even be admissible. The “science” still lacks a single peer reviewed paper to my knowledge. But we’ve seen 15 miles be within a margin of ping deviation whereby it can ping different towers at different times if close enough. Towers don’t necessarily ping the closest proximity. It often will especially when others aren’t nearby but it’s also bandwidth dependent and this is especially true in densely populated areas.

  20. Edit: I did the 5 minutes of research you could have EASILY done but chose not to. The gentleman who found her was quoted as saying: “He [Handler] said his mother was in the apartment with him, so I couldn't see her or hear her, so I have no idea what her status was, but I do pray that she is alright”. I’m not sure why you say they were holding hands? They weren’t close. That’s why she was so difficult to be saved. Why would the boy tell them she was “in the house” if she was literally right next to him able to touch him? To make the story more gripping? Do you have a source to confirm he somehow had room enough for his arm to move freely? Her death on record was blunt force trauma and in the public lawsuit. Her time of death according to the certificate on record was 3:38 AM. Considering how long it took to recover her son, and then her (do the math on the time yourself), this means upon completing the transfer to the hospital, she would have been pronounced deceased not long after. So it’s highly unlikely she could have been saved. Do the research before making a video. People died. They deserve that atleast. 5:28 she passed away from what? What about the rescue efforts failed? What could have been done different? Was this inevitable ? Was it from time under the debris? Was it just body recovery ? Could they have been faster? Why tell her story if you aren’t going to complete it?

  21. I have seen many, many………MANY facilities and plants. But this is pretty astounding. One word comes to mind and for me, it’s the highest praise possible for a company that makes its margins in the details: INTENTIONAL. Everything, everywhere has an intentional purpose and done with specific reason. For end to end processing, there’s nothing more important or habitually overlooked.

  22. That podcast has now become a favorite of mine. I wonder if he knows how perfectly he timed it with the mass cancellation from precast of their major hit crime podcasts now with only a few remaining as they get more lean financially. He literally overnight will gobble up a tremendously large and hungry audience as his show literally started the exact point true crime unsolved/solved, unexplained , etc all got cancelled. I’ve been meaning to email him for good measure. And his podcast seems like a whole other product than these which is always nice they aren’t just recycled stories. This isn’t Sean’s burner account or something lol I just love seeing the hustle of a disrupting creator vs major media house entities . And pound for pound his parity quality just from the writing alone.

  23. This reminds of the 1973 Aconcagua expedition where the two died right as the country had a coup d'état so no ruling occurred officially but it was heavily reasoned it was, at best, manslaughter, but more likely murder. Apologies if you’ve already covered it I only recently read about it somehow despite consuming much of the mountaineering incidents or so I thought. Found it after they found Johnson’s camera and was able to even develop the film on the glacier nearly half a century after she died

  24. Mean CRACKED bud still can’t believe he got his legs back so fast I thought that fight was all but over - great vid as per!

  25. Fantastic idea of a story to cover - never even considered it but what a great watch!

  26. 12:40 not the right mystery to be pondering, granted. But theory: When a group of scientist are together in a relaxed environment and they are habitually messing with your things to test their pea theory, when you go to a restaurant where peas are readily available you might proactively suspect that and ask the staff in advance as a way to reverse prank the group to alert him should they for some reason ask for a pea. When he got up he intercepted a waiter/the waitress then pretended he didn’t know. It’s what David Blaine does naturally haha he’s said as much. He’ll watch celebrities unlock their phone if they use a password from the second he meets them bc he knows once comfortable they usually ask the same thing: “oh yeah then what’s my phone password” see Aaron Paul in “Real Or Magic”.

  27. The Walter story was one that interested me for a bit but as with some of the work covered by Paulides in his book(s) sourcing is not great. But the simple fact that we can name the instances someone went missing in a dense remote forest/ wilderness area is proof enough it’s not really THAT mysterious, I imagine some of the lore is from what you mentioned and there’s loosely, and I mean Loosely, some reference to geomagnetic disruptions in the region but that’s also not too dissimilar to mountainous regions with unexplored material. The one thing I never got over is his date missing sad always incorrect. Maybe small but if you can’t get that right how can the history of the events be trusted ya know? No one ever documented his disappearance well so if was late January and they got the day wrong simply, well then he managed to survive over four months in the woods alone. With no supplies. Absolutely 0% chance. Not happening. So, he set out of course with other plans. He must have known who he was meeting: given his wife’s lack of mention of this for months, he was either prone to this extended absence or informed her though likely after that long she would have mentioned suspicion. keep in mind one thing you never mentioned ( or maybe I missed sorry if so), the Slovak state founded in march of 1939… DIRECTLY in his disappearance window. He was found in Zlaté Moravce and client state to Nazi germany. Try to imagine how mission critical espionage and counter spying was during this time… ESPECIALLY at factories. Bata shoe company has a bonafide connection to Birkenau and was convicted in US courts not aiding in Nazi resistance as was the figure head convicted in absentia. Which is significant. The complicated history of someone like Agnelli contrasts nicely here not all companies just went along with Nazi occupation. And many openly defied them especially in military spaces like aircraft construction. But there was some protection of Jewish workers made that was also proven it must be said . Either way, the simple fact the nazis had a hand at Bata is what matters to this story. Immediately upon existence this cleric state of the Slovak republic immediately had Jewish discrimination implemented. One would imagine at the factory Walter worked as well as the region he was found “spies” were needed aka snitches to the party. Walter would also be a prime person to use for any other low level operations on either side given he had a family and cover to be traveling frequently long distances across contested territory. I would bet my final dollar he was involved in some sort of active political operation, whether that be axis aligned or anti-Nazi. I would wager the former if I had to given he overtly set out on a trip that from the start makes zero sense. One would think he might be more considerate of his plans if he was planning to miss work but be discreet. His state and possible torture would make a bit of sense as it was 1939 a few months removed from kristallnacht but well before death camps. I still highly doubt if a suspected Jewish person he’d be alive at all or strong enough after capture to escape and survive just from the brutal conditions at the time. I would guess again wild speculation based on incomplete, unavailable sourcing Nazi sympathizers suspected him of double crossing or in the event he was a sympathizer himself, anti Nazi groups may be less inclined execute him but want any information he may have been passing to officials. Anyways, the region was a considerable political hornets nest. By statistics alone I find it utterly impossible a military aged male could survive months in the coldest part of the year alone no supplies in a very critical region geopolitically between Austria and Poland in the general vicinity of Bratislava making suspicious day trips working for a Nazi aligned factory and NOT have some hand in the upheaval on either side of the political spectrum. It’s the one time where a strange disappearance I would say has this more “extravagant” tale where as 9/10 I personally would fail to see how a disappearance isn’t just someone starting over or unfortunately going out on their terms. Both are more common than we like to sometimes admit/accept. Another interesting connection, well done sir - have a fantastic Sunday!

  28. Great stuff as per my man. Speaking of Death Valley, I know you’ve done Cowboy’s story but if you haven’t looked into yet, consider noodling around with another UFC fighter’s story but this time it didn’t go as well. Evan Tanner passed away shortly into his desert based hiatus. I’ve not seen many stories get all the nuance correct and tend to make leaps in logic but there is a fair amount of data available bc he was a prominent fighter. At first glance it seems obvious but I’m not so sure given his GPS data. I know you juggle a dozen balls at once but if you have a spot in your pipeline with a different kind of story to be filled, just a thought. Ps white vault IS fantastic

  29. I know this is a byproduct of me being dense, but did you unravel why the deceased didn’t have the same habitual air supply as the gentleman who survived? Also this is just a thought for the uninitiated like me who climb but don’t dive with overhead obstructions: one week you should consider an anthology of sorts whereby the focus is on one main subject where you can also simultaneously promote your other content eg I know you take the technical aspects of climbing/diving very serious and are very careful how and what you say. A potentially interesting way to expand on one small component that’s highly technical like “open water diving vs penetration diving” might be to reference in passing competed videos while maybe introducing an ancillary story too that might get less eventful. Highlighting even maybe by example the feats of a rescue diver who has done both or even the logistics of rescue. Or contrast the technical difference in pressure & air in the death zone vs deep in a cave or open water and why the air environment at sea level doesnt match that the death zone or the air we must consume at depth. Or even like this episode covers blue holes. It only dawned on me what a blue hole REALLY is and how he air we must breath has to mathematically change mixes perfectly after watching a documentary on vertical blue like a decade ago. Anyways, just another random diatribe by me - thanks for your work!

  30. Have you checked out Disasters at Sea? Being a friend from the north I’m sure you’re familiar with the excellent Canadian productions on these topics like Mayday but imo Disasters at Sea got much less of a reception but was better produced ultimately by EPI with help from Smithsonian and discovery. They cover some pretty tough ones but with dignity. And a few I’ve never heard of before. I think bc of the extensive coverage and bizarre circumstance along with people often underestimating that there’s quite a lot documented accounts of large ships and boats sinking in minutes, some of those stories might be good candidates.

  31. 8:55 what? I don’t understand the line. What’s the objective? Is there a missing sentence from a news story ? Why would they be celebrating the fact that they are trapped by ice ? Why would this warrant a high five?

  32.  @ScaryInteresting  OHHH yes that totally changes everything haha I was frantically searching everything I could find. I was struggling to put myself in their shoes and now all those emotions and what she was seeing really start to come to form better for me. Thanks for the quick confirmation!

  33. Actually since I had you, if you see this I had an unsolicited reco but forgive my ignorance if you’d already done it or considered it just ignore me then. But I like your writing style and tone more than most - it be super interesting to see your take on more of a mystery involving these circumstances you talk about - basically an incident that requires a battle of the elements. It’s a little twist if you ever need a change about humans who are forced to fight Mother Nature rather than purposefully elect to wade into her depths. For instance: - Yuba County5 - Lost Franklin Expedition - 1972 Andes Crash - Juliane Koepcke’s Lansa crash and rainforest survival - Danelle Ballengee’s UNREAL survival story and how her dog saved her life Those less “scary” I suppose it’s how you frame the script. Imminent death is always frightening to me but I’m not sure that resonates with everyone . So, n of 1 thought I’d mention

  34. Your waterwitch coverage made me want to hear you retell accidents at sea more. I’ve def listened to your full library and I don’t think you’ve touched on either of these three sea tragedies all well documented and with strange events leading to their doom: - the Halifax disaster (you may have actually done this one) - 2003 Staten Island ferry incident - Arctic rose mystery (though this is selfishly more I just want someone else I trust to take a crack at unraveling this very confusing incident) Or for trains the San Bernardino train disaster. I haven’t seen anyone do this one. Read a book on it and the attached investigation report and by palms were sweating the entire time. That might be the one disaster of all scenarios I’d probably prefer to not be in it I somehow had a choice.
