Agreed! Christine Chubbuck, too. The news anchor that "self deleted" live on air after saying, "In keeping with the WXLT practice of presenting the most immediate and complete reports of local blood and guts news, TV 40 presents what is believed to be a television first. In living color, an exclusive coverage of an attempted s*icide." Absolutely heartbreaking and mind-boggling.
He only had 10 slots, maybe he will create a series, that was insane, there was a female news anchor that did the same thing, but I really hope he does at least a part 2!
I’m glad you put Donnie on this list. I live in South Buffalo and coached a couple of his sons. Donnie and Linda, along with their kids, should be an inspiration to us all!
I remember the fire, but hadn't heard about Donny until just now. Considering my ex-wife's family are nearly all Buffalo and WNY firefighters (I attended many weddings at different firehouses), that's so strange! Seems an awesome man.
Truly he is. I am thankful he got to say his good byes, I wish he had had more time. That time i am sure is bittersweet to his wife and sons. RIP Don, a true hero. He would be so proud of his 4 sons, 2 firefighters and 2 policemen, job well done Dad.
Tragic about the fireman, but joyful they had those last few weeks together. May he RIP & his loved ones live in peace. The cycle of life is a hard pill to swallow at times.
I remember going to general admission concerts in the 1970s. It's a miracle more people didn't get hurt. I remember a few times saying I will not get crushed by going up front.
Another contestant on Moment of Truth got all the way to the final question after admitting really bad things. The final question was "Do you think you're a good person?". She got the answer wrong and lost it all. Brilliant for the showrunners to have the final question be one of self assessment as ego will overrule truth.
I guess at least she knew she was lying. I've lived around some truly evil people, including my parents, the things they did to me and other children were reprehensible..use your imagination and you'd still be shocked by them being worse than that....but, if they were put on lie detectors and asked if they're good people, they'd pass, because they totally do think they're good people. This is the REAL reason lie detectors don't work, because people with the most dangerous personality types genuinely believe their own lies, while someone like me, who's done little wrong in comparison wouldn't be able to answer a question like 'Are you a good person' because I suffer from overburdening of guilt and am too honest with myself not to be conflicted about it. I get overwhelmed by empathy, so even letting someone else get hurt runs me over with pain, guilt and shame. I've often wondered what would happen if a lie detector was tried on me, I don't think they'd even be able to functionally form a base line.
Wasn't there a serial killer on the dating game show back in the 70's? I think his name was Rodney Alcala, I'm surprised that didn't make it onto this list
What a fascinating video! you did an amazing job highlighting some truly unforgettable moments. I was really surprised by how intense some of these incidents were. It’s hard to believe they actually happened live! It definitely makes you appreciate the unpredictability of live television. I’d love to see more content like this in the future!
TH-cam strikes down especially if it’s something graphic. I’ve seen this on channels like Nexpo and HannahTheHorrible, they can’t show all the footage in case the networks that own it claim copyright.
"ZERO actual footage"? You didn't see the footage of the man standing on Niagara falls, the guy take off with balloons, the people being crushed at the stadium, or any of the other footage?
Right, like what makes these people think other countries WANT them there? Have you ever watched the shows about customs and border control at airports, Canada and Australia are very strict, I had no idea that they randomly select passengers from international flights to investigate, I always thought they were given a heads up by the flight crew if something suspicious was observed during the flight. But there are so many red flags people don’t even think about, like flying from China to Canada to stay for one month, but only have a duffle bag, and $20 on them lol, and the number of mature adults trying to smuggle prohibited items like food, plants, cigarettes etc. You can find episodes here on TH-cam, the shows were originally aired YEARS AGO, but I can only imagine it’s become more intense since C-19 😮
Wow, the widow in the 2nd to last story is a strong lady. She had to have attorneys coming out of the woodwork but she accepted it for what it was. A tragic accident ❤
“And when his parents couldn’t afford to pay for art college he decided to train as a chef.” In other words… his parents didn’t want to keep throwing away their money paying for art college lol.
I remember that show 'Xuxa' from the 1990's! I i used to watch it before school never found anybody else that remembers it and thought it was a fever dream!
12:34 I'm 99.99% sure that he didn't just fall into a semi-conscious state; from what I heard, while no one was in the room, he fell out of the bed and knocked his ass out again and then died a few days later. So it didn't just come out of nowhere, he fell out of the bed and no one knew about it and he hurt himself badly.
My understanding was that Don Herbert fell and hit his head after the improvement from the med change. This caused the significant decline, at this point he was non verbal, was able to walk with mod A and an Arjo walker. His wife was very attentive and nice, in-laws too.
The idiots on the second story should have left that old man alone. So because the house might have not been sound, they cause a deadly situation? Yeah, that's the government for you.
All that risk to the rescuers in Number 8, for some suicidal, debt-ridden, gambling fuck-up... How _unfair_ is that? Worst of all: He'd allow them to potentially lose their lives trying to save his sorry, valueless ass.
Did anyone else see that weird face shape in the ice with eed eyes and black face in the niagra falls video qhen the guys is just standing at the edge?
Oh man, some real tearjerkers in here! The Dad being an awesome Dad bringing his son to the ballgame all pumped to get his kiddo a ball! 😭 😫 😭 I remember that. A tragedy from all sides.
@ 8:20, am I seeing things, or is there a really freaky Skull looking face just to the left of the screen? It almost looks as if there is. It appears to be laughing.... Look closely at the left of the screen.... It's like a shadow....
Niagara Falls has almost 15 million visitors per year, not "100's of thousands," and the Hillsborough date was wrong. These things are not that difficult to research.
Right! I wish it was something they could do in an emergency, I watched a documentary here on TH-cam about how it’s done, iirc it takes several months of planning and organization. If I can find the video I will come back and add the info 🎅🤶🎄🎁
No point in blurring a persons face when you can still clearly see there face.... Like the second one about the kid in the balloon ....you can clearly see him, all you have to do is just move away from to image a little bit and it's like it not even there 😂
The story about the performer who just sang music in a live performance, and then there was a fire on stage why did the damn Christians suddenly accuse her of being Satanist 🤬
I remember watching the Xuxa show on TV. It was fairly sweet and inoffensive. I had wondered why it disappeared but did not find out about the fire until several years later. Very sad about what happened, but glad no one was seriously injured or killed. I feel sorry that Xuxa did not really recover from this tragedy as I believe she was an excellent entertainer for children.
Saw the thumbnail and was like, "Oh, I saw that clip years ago on TH-cam"....Then I see you post it on your channel 3 days ago with all these incidents being talked about for years on other channels.
Well damn, Brasil was mentioned twice! I remember the flying priest, it became quite the meme here, Brazilians will make anything into a joke. I had forgotten about the Xuxa spaceship fire! These are some sad and crazy stories, and most seem like they were avoidable. Happy Holidays!
How can you put this list together without including: 1) Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald (suspected of assassinating John F Kennedy) live on television Nov. 24, 1963; 2) the Munich massacre at the 1972 Olympics, Sept 5-6, 1972; 3) TV reporter Christine Chubbuck shooting herself in the head live on TV on WXLT, July 15, 1974, this event was only seen by a local TV audience, lacks the national exposure of other listed events, but the sheer disturbing nature of the act makes it deserving of inclusion; 4) The Challenger explosion live on TV, being broadcast in schools around the country because schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe was on board, January 28, 1986 an event which all but shut down NASA for the better part of 2 years; 5) politician R Budd Dwyer killing himself during a press conference January 22, 1987 6) the events of September 11, 2001 including jet airliners crashing into the World Trade Center towers, the collapse of both towers (all of which were aired on LIVE TV), as well as the plane that crashed into the Pentagon and the plane that went down in rural Pennsylvania; 7) the re-entry destruction of the Columbia space shuttle February 1, 2003, on live TV These were the first seven moments that instantly came to mind when I thought about the Darkest Moments on Live TV History. This doesn't even include live coverage of hurricanes, typhoons, earthquakes, mudslides and wildfires which really deserves to have it's own list. Most plane crashes and train wrecks don't occur on camera, we only get the aftermath, but they're equally as troubling. Also, the Waco siege of the Branch Davidian ranch April 13, 1993; the fallout coverage of the Oklahoma City bombing April 19, 1995; live TV coverage of the 1992 Los Angeles Riots...none of these made the list either. A lot of the ones on your list didn't even have anything dark actually filmed...a person who was on TV was later found dead...hardly seems Dark compared to ANY of the "live on TV deaths" in the moments I listed above.
I recall this tragedy... i said it then and I'll say it now... the only ones at fault for this disaster was the stadium security who opened the new gate when the stadium was already full. They should have never been allowed in that way. So what if they missed the kick-off. 97 were killed and hundreds of others were injured.They needed to take responsibility instead of blame shifting this on the Liverpool fans.
When I was a kid in the 90's and lived in some Apartments in Texas that was mostly hispanic. Everytime a girl had a birthday party they would have Xuxa playing really loud on their stereo.
Although he took another man's life, Dryden is considered a working-class libertarian hero by some for protecting his property against the incursions of the nanny state. He reminds me of Albert Johnson the Mad Trapper of Rat River, who also killed in a situation that he perceived as self-defense.
I will be horrified if you have not put the explosion of the space shuttle. Nope, wasn’t there. For those unaware, it was the 1st shuttle carrying civilians into orbit. One of those chosen was a female teacher. I remember being at a community college, in the cafeteria, watching it on the huge screen with many other students, admiringly, and admittedly envious of the luck of the chosen civilians. Take off was fine and it was still quite clear in the sky, just starting to curve to the right, When it exploded. Amongst the cloud, pieces of smoking debris fell through the sky. Part of the horror was knowing that I was watching at the precise moment people died. But that was later. The falling debris hadn’t been clearly pictured & I spent weeks secretly hoping they would find the capsule intact with the astronauts ok inside it floating in the ocean somewhere.
So they considered the Hillsborough Disaster, where over 90 people died, the LEAST darkest moment of the ten? Sorry that one really should have come a lot higher. That was one of the greatest disasters.
All 4 young men who passed away by the monster in the last story look very similar. Even though the criminal is older & somewhat deformed, I see a little similarity to him. I wonder why he chose them.
25:03 I remember watching Bill Shirk's stunt and I saw the collapse of the plexiglass coffin and was absolutely astounded that he came out alive! Thy coffin should have had struts and should have been shored up against the weight of the cement. Oddly, I remember seeing the full footage of the stunt going wrong on the TV; it's criminal that we can't see it on TH-cam because of some whiny babies who are afraid of the real world.
#10. Police lied on their reports? What a shocker! 😂. Fans were intoxicated? Duh, they were at a soccer match... how else can anyone get through that boring event?
Cow not to be intendified.15:40 or so. I have not reached the end yet, but Dan (the firefighter) should get way more recognition. Amazing person Also, XuXa in mexican spanish is Huha, is it not? As Xaxaxa is hahaha
14:25 YT blurred out the Fun...wth have we become? To weak minded to see a Fun? Also, there is no such thing as 'Unhealthy Obsession with Funs"? No such thing!
I agree and I don't even own one. Content creators self-censor in their edits because of fear of TH-cam censorship. Even you did that in your comment with the word gun. There should be no censorship on social media. Elon Musk moved things in the right direction with X.
@@AlexGreeneHypnotist That's because Americans (Yanks) fought off state tyranny in the 18th century using firearms, so the right to bear arms is built into their Constitution (2A) -- as it should be. Now England is suffering state tyranny under Starmer and there's little you can do about it because the English people are unarmed and don't have free speech, unfortunately.
@@thinkforyourself2109 Thank God we in Britain don’t have to worry about our children being shot every time they go to school. We also have free speech and the intelligence to see what gun culture has done to America, making us thankful every day for our gun laws - and our far superior education system.
I was in prison with albert dryden. In his later years he had bad Alzheimer's disease whilst locked up. He was released to a care home on compassionate grounds and sadly passed away rip albert
@Replicanna robbery in 2013 in my youth, since grown up fortunately. I met albert at healthcare in prison he had severe toothache and could barely talk i felt so sorry for him
He was released because he had a stroke. He wasn’t some sympathetic character. He never showed one bit of remorse in all the 26 years he has been in prison. He still tried to justify his actions for some God-unknown reason. The police stuffed up royally on that day. He had built a dwelling without the proper planning permission. It would be frustrating to have to have it torn down but he escalated the situation into a circus and gunned two people, one he knew for many years. He just didn’t want to abide by the laws and got mad when he found out that rules apply to him too.
The last one reminded me of a contestant who appeared on classic British TV darts quiz show "Bullseye" in 1989. A Welsh an whose surname I think is Cooper was convicted of murder and I think rape of a young girl. 😢
So TH-camrs can't say guns because they're worried that they will end up being demonitised its truly a tragic state of affairs that its come to this
Fear is a helluva drug

3) TV reporter Christine Chubbuck shooting herself in the head live on TV on WXLT, July 15, 1974, this event was only seen by a local TV audience, lacks the national exposure of other listed events, but the sheer disturbing nature of the act makes it deserving of inclusion;

A lot of the ones on your list didn't even have anything dark actually filmed...a person who was on TV was later found dead...hardly seems Dark compared to ANY of the "live on TV deaths" in the moments I listed above.
I recall this tragedy... i said it then and I'll say it now... the only ones at fault for this disaster was the stadium security who opened the new gate when the stadium was already full. They should have never been allowed in that way. So what if they missed the kick-off. 97 were killed and hundreds of others were injured.They needed to take responsibility instead of blame shifting this on the Liverpool fans.
despite the crude commercialism Niagara Fall is beautiful especially the Canadian side. you should go
12:47 💔🙏🏻The firefighter got me! 😭 #RIPDonnieHerbert
When I was a kid in the 90's and lived in some Apartments in Texas that was mostly hispanic. Everytime a girl had a birthday party they would have Xuxa playing really loud on their stereo.
“The Amazing Joe” Burrus also attempted the buried alive feat
Although he took another man's life, Dryden is considered a working-class libertarian hero by some for protecting his property against the incursions of the nanny state. He reminds me of Albert Johnson the Mad Trapper of Rat River, who also killed in a situation that he perceived as self-defense.
I will be horrified if you have not put the explosion of the space shuttle.
Nope, wasn’t there.
For those unaware, it was the 1st shuttle carrying civilians into orbit. One of those chosen was a female teacher.
I remember being at a community college, in the cafeteria, watching it on the huge screen with many other students, admiringly, and admittedly envious of the luck of the chosen civilians.
Take off was fine and it was still quite clear in the sky, just starting to curve to the right,
When it exploded.
Amongst the cloud, pieces of smoking debris fell through the sky.
Part of the horror was knowing that I was watching at the precise moment people died. But that was later. The falling debris hadn’t been clearly pictured & I spent weeks secretly hoping they would find the capsule intact with the astronauts ok inside it floating in the ocean somewhere.
So they considered the Hillsborough Disaster, where over 90 people died, the LEAST darkest moment of the ten? Sorry that one really should have come a lot higher. That was one of the greatest disasters.
Anyone notice the Yeti face in the snow at Niagara Falls?
I noticed it straight away at 8:15 crazy
All 4 young men who passed away by the monster in the last story look very similar. Even though the criminal is older & somewhat deformed, I see a little similarity to him. I wonder why he chose them.
Liverpool has yet to live this down,,,
England has bigger problems now: Islamic jihad and state tyranny.
Lets see it live, done
25:03 I remember watching Bill Shirk's stunt and I saw the collapse of the plexiglass coffin and was absolutely astounded that he came out alive! Thy coffin should have had struts and should have been shored up against the weight of the cement. Oddly, I remember seeing the full footage of the stunt going wrong on the TV; it's criminal that we can't see it on TH-cam because of some whiny babies who are afraid of the real world.
Thank you for informing me about the Xuxa Park fire. I had no idea!
#10. Police lied on their reports? What a shocker! 😂. Fans were intoxicated? Duh, they were at a soccer match... how else can anyone get through that boring event?
Ammunition for the Webley Revolver is not that hard to find, that model used the .455 Ely !
I remember the 1st story it was so sad to see. Did not know police falsified reports.
Very few of these were on live TV.
Cow not to be intendified.15:40 or so.
I have not reached the end yet, but Dan (the firefighter) should get way more recognition. Amazing person
Also, XuXa in mexican spanish is Huha, is it not? As Xaxaxa is hahaha
Also Ronny is a hero
Xuxa is Brazilian so the X sounds like sh, he actually got it right and he is known to massacre pronounciations LOL 😂
@@marievaleur7877 Thanks! I know Xaxa only from mexican haha
14:25 YT blurred out the Fun...wth have we become? To weak minded to see a Fun? Also, there is no such thing as 'Unhealthy Obsession with Funs"? No such thing!
If your stockpiling guns in your basement there's definitely something wrong with you.
I agree and I don't even own one. Content creators self-censor in their edits because of fear of TH-cam censorship. Even you did that in your comment with the word gun. There should be no censorship on social media. Elon Musk moved things in the right direction with X.
Ive never been to Lima but Ive eaten lima beans.
8:22 Why is there a face in the snow?!
A preist should know about the sanctity of life and know better than to risk his life in such a dangerous way.
The gift of life was rescinded!
Basucally the same thing happened on that "truth" show here in the US.
Event occurred in 2003, and was filmed in 1958. Sure.
They made a lot effort, man power and $ to save the Niagara !diot. Natural selection. Don’t gamble either. That’s also stup!d.
17:12 DUDE
It's LEE-ma.....LIE-ma is a bean😊
What’s a unhealthy relations with guns, doesn’t that mean he’s a gun collector?
He had an unhealthy interest in guns. Brits take more notice of people like this than Yanks do.
@@AlexGreeneHypnotist That's because Americans (Yanks) fought off state tyranny in the 18th century using firearms, so the right to bear arms is built into their Constitution (2A) -- as it should be. Now England is suffering state tyranny under Starmer and there's little you can do about it because the English people are unarmed and don't have free speech, unfortunately.
@@thinkforyourself2109 Thank God we in Britain don’t have to worry about our children being shot every time they go to school. We also have free speech and the intelligence to see what gun culture has done to America, making us thankful every day for our gun laws - and our far superior education system.
As already pointed out, Hillsborough was April not August. Maybe do a re edit
The serial killer on Masterchef ... makes the current BTS shenanigans on the show seem tame.
pictures, pictures, pictures.
dude! this is youtube, not instagram.
Just who was that house hurting 😮
Taxpayers paying for idiots to be saved! Why?😢
Because that's what they get paid to do, rescue people. It's called a J-O-B. 🙄
Shirk case has won a Darwin Award.
I was in prison with albert dryden. In his later years he had bad Alzheimer's disease whilst locked up. He was released to a care home on compassionate grounds and sadly passed away rip albert
What were you in for?
@Replicanna robbery in 2013 in my youth, since grown up fortunately. I met albert at healthcare in prison he had severe toothache and could barely talk i felt so sorry for him
He was released because he had a stroke. He wasn’t some sympathetic character. He never showed one bit of remorse in all the 26 years he has been in prison. He still tried to justify his actions for some God-unknown reason.
The police stuffed up royally on that day. He had built a dwelling without the proper planning permission. It would be frustrating to have to have it torn down but he escalated the situation into a circus and gunned two people, one he knew for many years.
He just didn’t want to abide by the laws and got mad when he found out that rules apply to him too.
@@markbellew4194 Hope you are better off now Mark, all the luck in your life and Merry Christmas. Sometimes it good to see the other side too
@@Dan_Ben_Michael his life sentence was only an 8 year one clearly even the judge was sympathetic to him
I miss the days of youtube before they sold out to google and there was no censorship.
Thank you for today's content and Merry Christmas. There is Light and Love and more around us too than we can see in this world...Jesus Loves Us ALL.
The last one reminded me of a contestant who appeared on classic British TV darts quiz show "Bullseye" in 1989. A Welsh an whose surname I think is Cooper was convicted of murder and I think rape of a young girl. 😢
