Hey everyone! As a reminder, remasters come out on Wednesdays (indicated in the decription). BRAND NEW stories come out on Saturdays. Thanks for watching and have a great week!
What is the point of remasters and reuploads? I don't see anything different between this video and the original you uploaded last week. This seems like a bunch of rework and confusion for your audience, as it isn't a very good practice nor a very good system. I enjoy your videos and look forward to new ones coming out, but this past couple of months when I see a new video come up, I am pretty disappointed to find out it's something I've already watched and just wastes my time starting the new old video and stopping it after a few minutes because I realize I've already seen it.

You hear of the Captain of the Indianapolis? It's a heart breaking story, he did everything he could for his crew and did everything by the book. But the Navy pinned all the blame on him. After years of hate mail after the war he walked out into his lawn holding a toy sailor and shot himself. Years later after a partition from the sailors as well as from the captain of the Japanese sub, who said there was nothing he could have done to avoid the torpedos, the Navy apologized and took blame.
Didn’t he cover this story already? Oh, actually.. If it wasn’t this channel then maybe it was the channel WartimeStories! They are an awesome channel as well and I remember it was an excellent video on what happened! EDIT: I checked to confirm and it’s a video by Wartime Stories about the USS Indianapolis!

I am conflicted, they did end up saving her, but they were probably almost too late because they wasted time trying to get her out themselves. One of them should have immediately called for help and only the other girl should have rendered aid. The extra minutes probably could've resulted in less damage and probably cut things way too close. In every situation, getting professional help as soon as physically possible is always the deciding factor in survival.
@@pax6833 That's definitely true. Sadly most people do not have ANY sort of emergency training and probably don't know that. From the perspective of normal people, what they did was still incredible!
@@pax6833 You're absolutely wrong about that. Doing what you can do now is and always will be focus number one. Rescue is not always minutes away, they're usually hours away, you are there now. Do what you can to save them. If you efforts clearly aren't helping, or if you're generally inept, then call for help at that point. This is a very rare incident where no bleeding is involved and rescue was extremely fast to respond. 99% of the time, you need to stop someone from bleeding asap or they will be dead before rescue can fire up their engines. This story was more miraculous than logical. By all accounts, she should have been dead regardless of what anyone did. The video didn't explain it well, but she was paralyzed from the impact, not from the cold. The cold essentially put her in an immediate coma that lessened the injuries to her brain. Remember, she smashed her head through a 1 foot plate of ice, that isn't something you normally wake up from. Only because you know the outcome, you're able to say they should have called for help first. In most situations, it's not the correct thing to do unless there are more than enough people present that there are free hands available to call for rescue and help at the same time.
@@pax6833 But, on the other hand... IF they could have pulled her out that would have been faster than getting S&R... It's a 20-20 hindsight thing. you look back with info those who made the decision don't have.
The tale of Anna is one of the big reasons Scandinavian doctors say "You're not dead until you're warm and dead". Another case happened a few years later in Sweden with a child, who made a full recovery after having been fully submerged for over 30 minutes.
@Chandler Humphreys it's well known that cold slows down bodily functions long enough to preserve life in some cases. That's why they use a cold ice slush during open heart surgery all over the world. It slows the cells metabolic function so that they can complete the very invasive procedure.
If I recall he requested to land to retrieve some but was denied, once he saw the sharks he ignored orders and did anyway. Landing on the ocean in a sea plane is pretty risky even in good weather.
Another badass was the doctor who survived with them, he did his best to save who he could, and would swim around and smack people on the head who tried to drink the water, and in his retelling, he tried to grab one of the sharks, because he was hungry and just wanted to eat it.
The Indianapolis has one of the wildest forgiveness stories too. The captain of the Japanese submarine lost his family due to the Hiroshima bomb that Indianapolis was carrying parts for. Not only did the Japanese captain defend the captain of Indianapolis when he was being legally tried and blamed for the incident, but he also met with survivors yeeears later and asked to pray with them for those they lost. They all came together with him.

The story of the USS Indianapolis is told by the very tough captain in the movie "Jaws" (1975), where he is said to be one of the sailors that made it. And how he tells it... it is one of the most memorable scenes in any movie, in my opinion.
I can.t imagine how afraid all of the men where in the water watching their friends one by one going under knowing they were being eaten by sharks knowing they could be next.

Bugs me SO much that we'll likely never know. Other sources I've read/watched on this state that so many people and agencies, as it's an international affair, either refused to take charge or otherwise just wanted to put it behind them and forget about it. I wonder if that much methanol could be accidentally absorbed through the skin? So many questions...
Dude was definitely murdered, no way you accidentally drink that stuff. It's supposedly very sweet. Alcohol isn't sweet enough to confuse the 2. Plus the methanol/Alcohol are not stored anywhere near each other
Oceanic whitetips rarely encounter humans, but when they do, it doesn't go well. They're strictly pelagic sharks, spending all their lives in the open ocean. It's a food desert out there; you can swim for miles without seeing another living thing. So these sharks will take any food they can get. They're not so much especially aggressive as wildly opportunistic. A shipwreck serving up hundreds of bodies, either dead or too weak to fight, is something they can't pass up - unfortunately for the Indianapolis crew.

Didn't Anna's experience lead to the surgical technique in which body temp is lowered to temporarily kill a patient by stopping the heart (useful for delicate heart surgeries)? I heard about that particular story in the docu "Kill Me To Cure Me"
My great uncle was on the Indianapolis when it sunk. He died shortly before I was born, and I never got to ask him about his experiences, but I’ve found photos of him in the hospital after he was rescued.
I remember when Discovery Channel had the Indianapolis on Shark Week and that tagline has always stuck with me. "When the USS Indianapolis sank her crew prayed they would be found... Unfortunately they were".
There have been some horrific incidents in science you might be interested in. The one that comes to mind is a woman who accidentally spilled dimethyl Mercury onto her hand (incredibly toxic) the persuing degradation of her body is like something from a horror movie.
It wasn’t even on her hand, it was on her rubber glove. It’s because of her that we now know that dimethyl mercury is unsafe to handle with the precautions that were previously thought to be safe. The cause of her poisoning almost went unknown because she didn’t even think that drop was a notable occurrence- why would it be, if the precautions she took in the lab were “safe”? It’s tragic what happened to her, but important to remember the valuable information gleaned from the tragedy. Dozens of lives may have been saved because of her and the doctors who helped determine what had happened, but unfortunately it cost her own life.
Anna's story sent a very familiar tingle down my spine. Her tale was way more harrowing than mine but similar indeed. Extremely cold temperatures work oddly enough to preserve some parts of you whole destroying the rest. I was lucky to make it out intact without any lasting damages though. 🥶🥶🥶 Never going near frozen lakes ever
Your story on the USS Indianapolis is way off. 1. The plane that initially spotted the men never landed. They dropped some supplies, but most sank or were destroyed upon impact. 2. Lt. Adrian Marks landed his plane shortly after(he was denied permission to land, yet did so) and rounded up men. The plane was so damaged upon the water landing that there was no hope of it taking off. They instead motored around and picked up men. A plane meant to hold approx 8 passengers was stuffed with over 50 sailors, some on the wings. 3. Though the Cecil J. Doyle was the first ship to arrive, several came to the men’s rescue. You should talk about the spotlight controversy and what happened to Captain McVay, and read up on his family history.
I heard about the Indianapolis story from Quint in the Jaws movie. I was always fascinated by the story but also terrified me I couldn't truly imagine how scary that situation would be
It’s horrifying enough surviving a boat exploding and ending up stranded in the sea, but to then watch your comrades get dragged into the sea screaming, whilst you can only watch because you can’t stop the sharks attacking? That’s pure nightmare fuel. I thought the story sounded vaguely familiar, and after a quick google it’s because Sam Quint, a character from Jaws, was a survivor of the USS Indianapolis!
Those sharks are no joke, they are also very persistent and stalkers. I myself been in the middle of the ocean and these white tip sharks kept circling my boat all night until the morning so eerie
My husband and I are going on a cruise later this year. He wanted to do a scuba and snorkeling excursion at some of our destinations but decided against it after I agreed and then started having anxiety attacks because of stories like this. I've always been afraid of sharks but it seems like more and more stories of tourists bring killed are popping up. I'm from FL so every body of water is cause for concern.
The 2nd story: I think local law enforcement let the case “fizzle out” to keep a possible murder by poisoning off their books anyway. One murder isn’t as attractive as zero murders😒
The white tip sharks still talk about that day as well. Telling the baby sharks about the best buffet ever. So sad and scary. That is actually one of my top fears. RIP to those poor men. The first story is insane. So glad she was okay.
That 1st story, Wow. Reminds me of the one where the girl was found frozen solid and revived hours later. I love this series, you’ve got something here!!!
I'm not buying that the ice was a foot thick in the first story. At least not where she went through. A human body would by absolutely pulverized before it punctured that amount of ice. That would be like thrusting your head through a foot-thick cement slab. A person can safely walk/stomp/jump on four inches and you can drive a mid-size truck on 12". I would find something more like 3"-4" to be believable. Especially considering the ice was clear enough to see her beneath it. Clear ice is the strongest. Source: I live on a major recreational lake in Minnesota. Edit: Did some more research and am even more certain. The ice was measured at 7.9" near where she was trapped. However, the place where she initially went through had to have been much thinner (which is normal, especially in moving water). She actually fell on her back on the ice, rather than punching straight through it with just her head as it was described here. Her clothes gradually became filled with water and she was sucked backwards into the hole. Hence how she was able to breath from the air pocket above her; she was laying prone. It is much more likely she sank through a relatively thin patch. Edit the Second: From the one available picture of the rescue, it seems that the ice wasn't really transparent, and was in fact heavily crusted over with snow. I believe when they say they could "see her under the ice", they could actually look down into the cavity she had had fallen into. A diagram drawn of the incident seems to support this. I'm fairly certain she punched through maybe 7 inches or so of weak snow/ice into an air cavity, rather than through true ice on the surface like what you would picture on a lake or large river. This was a very steep and relatively shallow mountain stream. Her face was not submerged for at least 40 min, as she was able to keep breathing. I actually doubt that drowning under the ice was truly a concern, it was just the fact that she was laying in an icy stream and very difficult to extricate.
Hi Sean, amazing videos as always! I’ve been a subscriber since the summer months of this year, and your videos helped me get through a very tough time in my life. When my days were tough, I’d cue up one of your videos and things would start to look up for me. Thank you so much for all that you’re doing on this channel! Best wishes from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
The craziest part about the Indianapolis to me is just how many things went wrong to get it to where it was, when it was. Like there was a missive about it leaving a port that got blown away so even the people that were supposed to know about it didn't. The sub wasn't even supposed to be in that area and yet there were a bunch of missives about people seeing a Japanese sub that just never reached the Indianapolis. It was just so many coincidences.
The fact that Anna could be in water that cold for that long and survive is nothing short of miraculous. He body temp was 56 degrees Fahrenheit and she lived! Unbelievable.
Anna's story is just an example of how amazing the human body can be in an effort to stay alive. It can basically shut itself down to save energy for the most vital functions even when its almost frozen. That being said that is one of the most miraculous things I have ever heard. Right up there with that guy that was trapped in an air pocket in a sunken ship for several days.
The last story reminds me of a song called Nautical Disaster by The Tragically Hip I had this dream where I relished the fray And the screaming filled my head all day It was as though I'd been spit here Settled in, into the pocket Of a lighthouse on some rocky socket Off the coast of France, dear One afternoon four thousand men died in the water here And five hundred more were thrashing madly As parasites might in your blood Now I was in a lifeboat designed for ten and ten only Anything that systematic would get you hated It's not a deal nor a test nor a love of something fated The selection was quick, the crew was picked in order And those left in the water Got kicked off our pant leg And we headed for home Then the dream ends when the phone rings "You doing all right?" He said, "It's out there most days and nights But only a fool would complain" Anyway, Susan, if you like Our conversation is as faint a sound in my memory As those fingernails scratching on my hull
My friend’s grandfather was a survivor of the Indianapolis. He came and talked to our class about it. I remember him saying he hallucinated that he was back at home in an armchair smoking a pipe.
Oceanic whitetip sharks grow to large sizes, with some individuals reaching 11-13 feet (3.5-4 m). However, most specimens are less than 10 feet (3 m) in length (Baum et al. 2015). 15 feet seemed a bit high so I decided to do a bit of research, obviously still plenty large enough to pose a huge risk.
I beg to differ about the seaplane leaving. To my knowledge, the PBY landed and took on as many survivors as it could while waiting for rescue. Because it was so overloaded with survivors it was damaged in the open ocean swells and was unable to take off after rescue ships arrived.
Incredible, I've heard about hypothermic people being rescucitated 45 min after cardiac arrest, but more than 3 whole hours ?? And with relatively few long lasting effects ? That is NUTS !
Yes 🙌🏼 thank u for this little treat! Always get super excited when my notifications goes off n I see u posted. Keep up the great content! Hope u have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow 💙💙
@@ZazooEel57 I'd think it's entirely impossible. The human body is 70% water and ice has a lower density than water so the ice forming in the cells would expand and rupture/destroy them. Best possible might be something like a 1% metabolic rate or something but that's more like aging super slowly rather than being frozen entirely.
That’s a lie the navy knew they were out there but they were in a part where they were not supposed to be so they were given the order to leave them out there. The plane that ended up saving them was also told not to do so. They were abandon by orders. The plane disregarded orders and refused to leave them
Sad as soon as I saw the thumbnail I knew exactly what it'd be. As far as humans getting picked off by animals, the sinking of the USS Indianapolis and the Ramree Island massacre are definitely the scariest for me. The former especially after knowing the heart wrenching fate of the Captain of the Indianapolis.
Slack storytelling re: Antarctica. He was a Kiwi, and the reason those surveys weren't sent back and the investigation fizzled, is because the USA wouldn't cooperate with NZ + told everyone to keep their mouths shut.
um, that dude on the South Pole was DEFINITELY murdered! no one goes around accidentally (or intentionally) drinks methanol who is both intelligent and healthy enough to get assigned to Antartica is going to make that mistake, esp if you have all the top shelf you need. (hash tag - his gf did it.....)
The story of the Indianapolis sad story, and oh girl at the beginning was nice to see she made it through that fresk accident, just goes to show if it isn't your time you aren't going anywhere
I almost died from excitement, not really but like I was so ready to hear a story about Sadako Sasaki! Since her fate was also tragic, I mean that would be nice to see in this series because I kinda adore how brave she was.
I used to ski as a kid. I learned a lesson one day that the girl in the first story apparently never did after also losing control and breaking my leg when I was 4. When you lose control, you should just fall/sit down. It may hurt, especially if you are going fast, but it is almost always the best option.
I read about a two year old girl that wandered out into the garden one winter evening when it was around minus 25 degrees C, or minus 13 F. She was found over two hous later, lying in the snow, and taken to hospital. She recovered fully without any injuries at all. Small children have a different body system than adults and survive unbelievable conditions. The reason she survived was, like Anna the nurse, that her body temperature was lowered so quickly.
That happened in Alberta, Canada. It was a little girl who followed her dad outside as he was getting ready to leave for work - no one knew she was outside until she was found 3 hrs later. But amazingly, she recovered. There is a reason that cryogenics is so fascinating.
Anna was very lucky to have survived in the first story. Second story sad but anticlimactic and third story horrific. Thank you Sean @Scary Interesting ☆
I'm still making my way through this series, but if you haven't already, you should cover the case of spontaneous human combustion that took place in Mary Reeser in 1951.

My great uncle was on the Indianapolis when it sunk. He died shortly before I was born, and I never got to ask him about his experiences, but I’ve found photos of him in the hospital after he was rescued.
I remember when Discovery Channel had the Indianapolis on Shark Week and that tagline has always stuck with me. "When the USS Indianapolis sank her crew prayed they would be found... Unfortunately they were".
There have been some horrific incidents in science you might be interested in. The one that comes to mind is a woman who accidentally spilled dimethyl Mercury onto her hand (incredibly toxic) the persuing degradation of her body is like something from a horror movie.
I remember that. Just a drop or two, wasn’t it? Horror movie death; what happened to her. 100% agree.
It wasn’t even on her hand, it was on her rubber glove. It’s because of her that we now know that dimethyl mercury is unsafe to handle with the precautions that were previously thought to be safe.
The cause of her poisoning almost went unknown because she didn’t even think that drop was a notable occurrence- why would it be, if the precautions she took in the lab were “safe”?
It’s tragic what happened to her, but important to remember the valuable information gleaned from the tragedy.
Dozens of lives may have been saved because of her and the doctors who helped determine what had happened, but unfortunately it cost her own life.
I remember this story. Heard it on the Mr Ballen channel
Damn the first story is crazy! I can't believe how lucky she was. Incredible
Not related too Trevor. And brother Gary are u ??
That woman, Anna. She got extremely lucky there, good for her. Most people don't seem to get that kind of luck unfortunately.
Anna's story sent a very familiar tingle down my spine. Her tale was way more harrowing than mine but similar indeed. Extremely cold temperatures work oddly enough to preserve some parts of you whole destroying the rest. I was lucky to make it out intact without any lasting damages though. 🥶🥶🥶 Never going near frozen lakes ever
I don’t mean to be intrusive, but I am very intrigued. Are you comfortable sharing more of your experience?
I agree; no going out onto lake ice for me, thanks. 🥶
Your story on the USS Indianapolis is way off. 1. The plane that initially spotted the men never landed. They dropped some supplies, but most sank or were destroyed upon impact. 2. Lt. Adrian Marks landed his plane shortly after(he was denied permission to land, yet did so) and rounded up men. The plane was so damaged upon the water landing that there was no hope of it taking off. They instead motored around and picked up men. A plane meant to hold approx 8 passengers was stuffed with over 50 sailors, some on the wings. 3. Though the Cecil J. Doyle was the first ship to arrive, several came to the men’s rescue. You should talk about the spotlight controversy and what happened to Captain McVay, and read up on his family history.
I heard about the Indianapolis story from Quint in the Jaws movie. I was always fascinated by the story but also terrified me I couldn't truly imagine how scary that situation would be
The largest shark attack in history happened in WW2. WW2 also had the largest crocodile attack in history…
Glad to see more videos coming out. Keep up the great work man
It’s horrifying enough surviving a boat exploding and ending up stranded in the sea, but to then watch your comrades get dragged into the sea screaming, whilst you can only watch because you can’t stop the sharks attacking? That’s pure nightmare fuel.
I thought the story sounded vaguely familiar, and after a quick google it’s because Sam Quint, a character from Jaws, was a survivor of the USS Indianapolis!
Those sharks are no joke, they are also very persistent and stalkers. I myself been in the middle of the ocean and these white tip sharks kept circling my boat all night until the morning so eerie
My husband and I are going on a cruise later this year. He wanted to do a scuba and snorkeling excursion at some of our destinations but decided against it after I agreed and then started having anxiety attacks because of stories like this. I've always been afraid of sharks but it seems like more and more stories of tourists bring killed are popping up. I'm from FL so every body of water is cause for concern.
Man this is probably my favorite youtuber. Love putting your videos on while I work. It's amazing how interesting the stories are
This has become one of my favorites channels by far!!
The 2nd story:
I think local law enforcement let the case “fizzle out” to keep a possible murder by poisoning off their books anyway.
One murder isn’t as attractive as zero murders😒
Hey Sean, new subscriber, really love your videos. I’ve went back and binge watched all your videos. Keep doing what you do brother! -Steve
The white tip sharks still talk about that day as well. Telling the baby sharks about the best buffet ever.
So sad and scary. That is actually one of my top fears. RIP to those poor men.
The first story is insane. So glad she was okay.
That 1st story, Wow. Reminds me of the one where the girl was found frozen solid and revived hours later. I love this series, you’ve got something here!!!
I'm not buying that the ice was a foot thick in the first story. At least not where she went through. A human body would by absolutely pulverized before it punctured that amount of ice. That would be like thrusting your head through a foot-thick cement slab. A person can safely walk/stomp/jump on four inches and you can drive a mid-size truck on 12". I would find something more like 3"-4" to be believable. Especially considering the ice was clear enough to see her beneath it. Clear ice is the strongest. Source: I live on a major recreational lake in Minnesota.
Edit: Did some more research and am even more certain. The ice was measured at 7.9" near where she was trapped. However, the place where she initially went through had to have been much thinner (which is normal, especially in moving water). She actually fell on her back on the ice, rather than punching straight through it with just her head as it was described here. Her clothes gradually became filled with water and she was sucked backwards into the hole. Hence how she was able to breath from the air pocket above her; she was laying prone. It is much more likely she sank through a relatively thin patch.
Edit the Second: From the one available picture of the rescue, it seems that the ice wasn't really transparent, and was in fact heavily crusted over with snow. I believe when they say they could "see her under the ice", they could actually look down into the cavity she had had fallen into. A diagram drawn of the incident seems to support this. I'm fairly certain she punched through maybe 7 inches or so of weak snow/ice into an air cavity, rather than through true ice on the surface like what you would picture on a lake or large river. This was a very steep and relatively shallow mountain stream. Her face was not submerged for at least 40 min, as she was able to keep breathing. I actually doubt that drowning under the ice was truly a concern, it was just the fact that she was laying in an icy stream and very difficult to extricate.
Thanks! Wishing u the best of luck! Love your channel.
Hey Tiffany! Sorry for the late response. Thanks so much for supporting the channel, and I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the content!
@@ScaryInteresting No worries at all. Glad to help.
Love the channel brother! Positive vibes from Colorado fam!

"The true monsters of this story, weren't the sharks."
I Love these stories. I was watching it on my playstation and had to log in to my fone just to say keep up the good work 😁
That first story is actually one of the most insane survival stories I’ve ever heard
Hi Sean, amazing videos as always! I’ve been a subscriber since the summer months of this year, and your videos helped me get through a very tough time in my life. When my days were tough, I’d cue up one of your videos and things would start to look up for me. Thank you so much for all that you’re doing on this channel! Best wishes from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
"Oh canada!!! Oh how we love your maple syrup!!! Oh canada!!! Oh yeah!!!!"
Redundant comment
Super cool to see how fast this channel has grown. Keep up the nice work Sean! 🤓
🤓🤓🤓🤓
Ur a nerd
I thought I clicked on a mrballen video but this is just as good. You made it mate
Love this series. I’m so happy there’s one tonight. Great work great story telling keep it up please 🙏
The craziest part about the Indianapolis to me is just how many things went wrong to get it to where it was, when it was. Like there was a missive about it leaving a port that got blown away so even the people that were supposed to know about it didn't. The sub wasn't even supposed to be in that area and yet there were a bunch of missives about people seeing a Japanese sub that just never reached the Indianapolis. It was just so many coincidences.
The fact that Anna could be in water that cold for that long and survive is nothing short of miraculous. He body temp was 56 degrees Fahrenheit and she lived! Unbelievable.
Because of videos like these, I have become extremely paranoid that something extremely unlikely to happen will happen to me
Thanks
"The calamity that comes is never the one we had prepared ourselves for."
- Mark Twain
If something so horrible were to happen like that, you deal with it then don't live in fear.
Don't worry... It will happen.
Don't worry, you'll probably die from a heart attack, cancer or car accident
Dont watch it then
Dude I've been in work! Missed the grand opening! Awesome stuff as always, thank you 🙏🙏
Was holding my breath during their first story. Glad it had a mostly happy ending.
Anna's story is just an example of how amazing the human body can be in an effort to stay alive. It can basically shut itself down to save energy for the most vital functions even when its almost frozen. That being said that is one of the most miraculous things I have ever heard. Right up there with that guy that was trapped in an air pocket in a sunken ship for several days.
The last story reminds me of a song called Nautical Disaster by The Tragically Hip
I had this dream where I relished the fray
And the screaming filled my head all day
It was as though I'd been spit here
Settled in, into the pocket
Of a lighthouse on some rocky socket
Off the coast of France, dear
One afternoon four thousand men died in the water here
And five hundred more were thrashing madly
As parasites might in your blood
Now I was in a lifeboat designed for ten and ten only
Anything that systematic would get you hated
It's not a deal nor a test nor a love of something fated
The selection was quick, the crew was picked in order
And those left in the water
Got kicked off our pant leg
And we headed for home
Then the dream ends when the phone rings
"You doing all right?"
He said, "It's out there most days and nights
But only a fool would complain"
Anyway, Susan, if you like
Our conversation is as faint a sound in my memory
As those fingernails scratching on my hull
That's raw! And cool as hell! Gonna hafta check them out! ✌️
Wow I need to check that out! How dark 😮
My friend’s grandfather was a survivor of the Indianapolis. He came and talked to our class about it. I remember him saying he hallucinated that he was back at home in an armchair smoking a pipe.
My one goal is to not be in any of these videos
but dont ya wanna be famous??
Oceanic whitetip sharks grow to large sizes, with some individuals reaching 11-13 feet (3.5-4 m). However, most specimens are less than 10 feet (3 m) in length (Baum et al. 2015).
15 feet seemed a bit high so I decided to do a bit of research, obviously still plenty large enough to pose a huge risk.
that fighter jet graphic cracked me up
Ive just stumbled across your video bye chance, and I’m now going to binge watch them all you have made a lifelong subscriber my friend 🎉❤
You're not dead until you're warm and dead; there are people who've been found under the ice and revived more than twenty four hours later.
I beg to differ about the seaplane leaving. To my knowledge, the PBY landed and took on as many survivors as it could while waiting for rescue. Because it was so overloaded with survivors it was damaged in the open ocean swells and was unable to take off after rescue ships arrived.
@@curiouser-and-curiouser I believe it was a unanimous vote to land as well
Yes, he was told not to & actually disobeyed orders. The damage happened when they landed.
Love how detailed and researched these stories are 💯 CANT GET ENOUGH ✌️🔥Keep Making these PLEASE 😭
Incredible, I've heard about hypothermic people being rescucitated 45 min after cardiac arrest, but more than 3 whole hours ?? And with relatively few long lasting effects ? That is NUTS !
I don’t think you realize how hard ice is.. head first? Foot thick? Yeah. Okay.
11:30 I like to imagine even the pilot who dropped the bomb didn't know what it was going to do. "WHAT THE FUUUU----?!"
Yes 🙌🏼 thank u for this little treat! Always get super excited when my notifications goes off n I see u posted. Keep up the great content! Hope u have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow 💙💙
Dam life must be sad. Anything I can do that help. R u ok.
Who the hell uses a plastic shovel? Barbie.
I love your vids! They keep my entertained while I work :) just letting you know, its not hyperthermic. Its hypothermic!
That first woman was essentially one of the first/few people to survive something in the direction of that cryo process.
And she was frozen less than 2 hours and still suffers permanent nerve damage. Cryogeny is almost unattainable based on that alone.
@@ZazooEel57 I'd think it's entirely impossible. The human body is 70% water and ice has a lower density than water so the ice forming in the cells would expand and rupture/destroy them. Best possible might be something like a 1% metabolic rate or something but that's more like aging super slowly rather than being frozen entirely.
I love everything about your channel but what I love most is that you include °Celsius and km's, rather than just Fahrenheit and miles! Thank you 🙂
That’s a lie the navy knew they were out there but they were in a part where they were not supposed to be so they were given the order to leave them out there. The plane that ended up saving them was also told not to do so. They were abandon by orders. The plane disregarded orders and refused to leave them
I love the animation of the American plane that spotted the floating men in WW2, an F15 Strike Eagle lmao
Lol. Yep all those poor F-15 eagles we lost in WWII. How sad that tgey werent produced until the 1960s
@@Hugh-Man0006 I also knew the The Final Countdown was a documentary.
Sad as soon as I saw the thumbnail I knew exactly what it'd be. As far as humans getting picked off by animals, the sinking of the USS Indianapolis and the Ramree Island massacre are definitely the scariest for me. The former especially after knowing the heart wrenching fate of the Captain of the Indianapolis.
Slack storytelling re: Antarctica. He was a Kiwi, and the reason those surveys weren't sent back and the investigation fizzled, is because the USA wouldn't cooperate with NZ + told everyone to keep their mouths shut.
Somebody certainly poisoned Rodney.
Great series great channel great content thank you
The area code for Indianapolis is 317 for the number of survivors of the USS Indianapolis
Nice to hear Anna survived 🙏🏻 she's a warrior
Anna was “really good at” skiing yet was unable to stop… ok
um, that dude on the South Pole was DEFINITELY murdered!
no one goes around accidentally (or intentionally) drinks methanol who is both intelligent and healthy enough to get assigned to Antartica is going to make that mistake, esp if you have all the top shelf you need.
(hash tag - his gf did it.....)
Probably
The story of the Indianapolis sad story, and oh girl at the beginning was nice to see she made it through that fresk accident, just goes to show if it isn't your time you aren't going anywhere
I didn't know the US had F14s and 747s during WWII. Learn something every day! 🤣
That first woman's recovery is incredible!
If you've ever seen JAWS, you know the third story quite well
I almost died from excitement, not really but like I was so ready to hear a story about Sadako Sasaki! Since her fate was also tragic, I mean that would be nice to see in this series because I kinda adore how brave she was.
The plane at 16:35 looks hella modern
Love your videos man keep them coming please 🙏
I knew a guy that was on the Indianapolis. Heard that many years later he was trying to catch a shark in Martha's Vineyard and got eaten up! 😱
Couldn’t be a surgeon but became a radiologist… I’d say that’s quite an achievement in itself!
Oceanic White Tips don’t get even close to 15 feet on average. A very very large specimen is 12 feet.
No but I have a foot long you can look at.
I used to ski as a kid. I learned a lesson one day that the girl in the first story apparently never did after also losing control and breaking my leg when I was 4.
When you lose control, you should just fall/sit down. It may hurt, especially if you are going fast, but it is almost always the best option.
I read about a two year old girl that wandered out into the garden one winter evening when it was around minus 25 degrees C, or minus 13 F. She was found over two hous later, lying in the snow, and taken to hospital. She recovered fully without any injuries at all. Small children have a different body system than adults and survive unbelievable conditions. The reason she survived was, like Anna the nurse, that her body temperature was lowered so quickly.
two or three hours is not long
@@Blox117 what chu talking bout Blox
That happened in Alberta, Canada. It was a little girl who followed her dad outside as he was getting ready to leave for work - no one knew she was outside until she was found 3 hrs later. But amazingly, she recovered. There is a reason that cryogenics is so fascinating.
I love you, and these are my favorite. Your quality is unmatched.
16:44 Luckily Boeing invented the 747 during World War II.
Yeah, the 747 seaplane edition.
Always refreshing your channel every day on the way to work and home, 15 minute drive so your videos are perfect.
Anna was very lucky to have survived in the first story. Second story sad but anticlimactic and third story horrific. Thank you Sean @Scary Interesting ☆
I'm still making my way through this series, but if you haven't already, you should cover the case of spontaneous human combustion that took place in Mary Reeser in 1951.
Wait… hold up the first story hypothermia is crazy. so being in Ice can basically freeze you in time?? She’s had no heartbeat for almost 3H wtf!
the 2nd one is not a horror story . Just a mystery because no one was willing to talk and help investigators
If you take it for what it is, it was certainly horrific to die that way, hence deeming it a horror story
