- On February 25 of 2022, a team of five divers were tasked with maintenance work on a dormant underwater pipeline in Trinidad and Tobago. The five divers ended up being sucked into the narrow oil pipe. Four of the five divers never returned.
The GoPro camera which was attached to one of the divers recorded the moment disaster struck.

This story is blowing up now. It happened in my home country and no justice has been served, all rescue attempts were stopped and those guys were basically left to die then got flushed out of there. An official enquiry took place and nothing resulted. Any questions should be directed to Colin Piper, Port Operations Superintendent of Paria fuel who claims alot of "tough decisions" were made that day.
I hope this comment gets pinned so everyone who is so horrified by this tragedy can take some type of action. This is just heartbreaking. Sending peace and love to Chris and the lost workers' & fam.
The responsible company executives should be sent to jail for life.
Pin this shit
they should be in that pipe@@earlysda
😂😂😂😂😂 there were no tough decisions made that day. The only decisions made that day were based on profits and the effect it might have on their bonus.
The fact that this didn't end up on national news just shows you that they rather protect the rich man instead of the hard workers that's suffered that day
Why woukd this make national news? Theres like 2 wars going on and its a tiny little country. Its not cause rich men its cause theres more important global news
4 people dying due to gross blatant negligence... Not news at all
@@bartholomewhunt1874I mean those wars do not affect us honestly I still go to work get paid do everything normal how is a war affecting me?
@@bartholomewhunt1874how is the war that’s across the ocean impede you good sir??
@@renjjimtz it effects the global economy which then effects me. Way more so than 4 guys getting sucked into a pipe. Im from chicago, people die everyday
I can’t believe that the people making the decision to NOT send a rescue team aren’t being held accountable.
Why the disbelief?! Governments don't care about people.
I think they have some kind of protocol to which these men agreed to when taking the job
@@MPA913 Protocol not to be rescued?
@@MPA913to not be rescued?
you overestimate corporations. lives are cheap.
NGL it broke my soul watching that man explain that no one made an attempt to save them
You can bet bribes were paid to prevent accountability.
If i was chris....... i dont think i would EVER be able to get passed this.... his friends in there.... his brothers.... how does a human being have a single night of sleep after experiencing this...... god bless him and these men's souls
It’s wasn’t his fault. he will have the strength to overcome it
Lots of medication.
He didn't say it's his fault. He said he won't be able to cope up with something like that. @@SoundsInstinctive
Survivors guilt can really be terribme
Just look how he cried... It's horrible.
I bet the company is extremely unhappy that Chris made it out.
Yes a million percent
Exactly.
Let's hope he doesn't get Boeinged...
@@StoutShako as an avgeek I can confirm that he may be unexistified via Boeing rules
@@RDX_Axoprobably the most cringe sentence I have read in the past 2 days
Here are some additional facts:
1) They were in there for 4 days and on the 3rd day people were still hearing banging on the pipe
2) Paria got the coast guard to stop divers from rescuing the men trapped
3) There were multiple divers ready and willing to go in from lmcs and rescue that same hour but were all blocked from going in
4) Paria said the coast guard would be doing the rescue but the coast guard said they had no equipment
5) The families of all the divers sat in the refinery carpark for 4 days waiting to hear news about their loved ones and the company couldn't even give them some water to drink, it was community members who brought food and water for the families
6) They left those men in there to die and when 4 days had passed and they were sure they were dead they flushed the bodies out the pipe as quickly as possible; this damaged the bodies and flooded any air bubbles remaining so if the men were alive by then the flushing operation probably killed them
7) The bodies were retrieved in secret, placed in boxes to disguise them and then snuck out via a back entrance, while the family members were left waiting
8) The families were never informed that the men had died or that bodies had been retrieved; they found out via a television news program
9) No one from Paria ever met with the families at any point, they were just outright ignored
10) When questioned in the commission of inquiry it was revealed that no rescue plan was ever made; they simply sat and waited for the men to die
11) Paria had the pipeline capped off on both ends so no one else could escape.
12) Chris tried to check himself out of the hospital but was restrained and forcefully sedated on the orders of Paria who feared he was planning on mounting his own rogue rescue operation (he later confirmed he was)
13) No arrests were ever made or charges filed and no one was fired or at least suspended from the company for the failing
14) Not a single cent was paid to any family yet
15) No new security measures or operational protocols were ever implemented or existing ones updated to prevent something similar from happening; indeed, Paria never even promised or announced plans to make any changes of any kind whatsoever (the remaining and new divers that were brought in were simply told to be more careful and that it was responsibility to prevent accidents of any kind)
16) When first informed of the accident, the first thing that Paria managers asked was how much downtime there would be; this was their first and only concern
17) Paria resumed operations the very next day after the bodies were retrieved (although the company wanted to resume work the very same day but it was nighttime already); this included the pipeline where the accident occurred which was put back in use the next day as well (in fact, 5 minutes before they started using it again they flushed one last time: Bits of diving suits and human tissue were still inside and once they came out of the pipe they were simply discarded in the ocean)
18) The company has an extensive history of corruption: Its managers are in bed with the government and they use the company to do underhand business so they can steal tax money. The company was originally called Petrotin until a scandal involving the prime minister who was found to be selling the oil illegally on the side using a friend as a straw man; to avoid jail they closed the company down and started 5 new companies from it Paria being one of them. Furthermore, local rumors have always swirled around claiming that the government is doing oil deals with Venezuela secretly to avoid sanctions as Maduro and The TT prime minister Rowley are apparently good friends and if the divers had survived the spotlight would be placed on the company which would also face legal actions from these men (dead men can't sue you or go public with what they know), thus making it much harder to do their corrupt deals so they were left to die and the government-run company got away with it with no consequences.
Man this is too much information my brain cant handle this
How evil and wicked they are to do this they didn’t want to waste money trying to rescuer them and thought it be too difficult corrupt company and they tried to cover it up if Chris hadn’t survived no one oils have heard about this
More people need to see this comment
It’s disgusting to know they justice will never be served. I hope their is a hell waiting for the people making these decisions.
This will be another movie based on a true story except rescuers weren’t involved and no happy ending.
As a pipe welder who has had to work inside of pipes even smaller than this, this literally has me in tears. I cannot believe that the company not only opted NOT to rescue their workers, but GOT AWAY WITH LEAVING THEM FOR DEAD. I worked for oil companies and this would NEVER happen. Safety is so huge in our industry where I work. The people who made the decision to not send rescuers should be in prison at minimum, and this is honestly where I feel an eye for an eye is sometimes the way to go. Those poor men…Chris you didn’t fail them, your bosses failed them. RIP to these brave men. I hope karma has something special in store for the people who made that evil decision
There will one day be a terrible reckoning.
No one escapes judgement
Thanks for your take. Could you explain how your company procedure is to prevent something like this happening?
Asking out of curiosity
now explain to me who volunteered to rescue them in the first place and how long did it take them to be ready? sorry buddy i have also worked for oil companies and such and also have watched plenty of cave diving rescues as such. all the planning and finding the qualified ppl to agree to it is hard enough. then you have to hope the team is around the corner. most qualified ppl like that who are availanble could be 1000 miles away. not to mention not everyone is standing by there phone 24 7 just expecting to be called to rescue something like this. the qualified ppl could very well be already working or sleeping maybe even getting groceries for there families. come on man where are ppls common since? i mean i get it. its a sad story and cant believe the fear and pain these guys felt in this tragedy.
@@greenearth9945lol exactly this guy talking out his ass. if something like this happened to any company it would take atleast 24 hours min before you pulled qualified team together with coming up with the safest plan to rescue them.
You can tell based on Chris’ handling of the initial situation, that he is a strong, resilient problem solver. The fact that a rescue was not attempted after they heard knocking is quite frankly disgusting, life can be a cruel, and these companies DO NOT care about you.
This never would have happened in the US. Hell even Thailand brought in everyone from around the world when those kids got trapped in the cave.
Trini is corrupt af.
Considering how little Paria did to save them, I have this sinking feeling that if Chris never made it out, nobody would ever know about this from the company hiding everything.
How many times has something like this happened, we just dont know.
Thats the scariest thing
@@MrFirefox it happens in china every day
@@warshipsatin8764sadly I’m sure you’re very right on this
Little? Paria capped both the ends preventing any rescue attempts and literally waited for the men to die. Oil companies are evil beyond belief.
My coworker at the refinery told me he was a ocean tank gauger. His friend that night went to gauge a ship. He got on the crane basket and was transported from ocean platform too ship. It was a heavy storm at night. Soon the crane 🏗️ moved towards the ship the basket carrying him snapped in the middle of the ocean before reaching the ship. They never found the basket or body.
Just for Clarification for anyone wondering why no rescue team was sent:
People at the top prefer that An accident like this remains hidden, to achieve this the first few hours were critical to PREVENT any of the divers from coming back alive to testify against the company, hence the best course of action was to NOT rescue them, unfortunately 1 guy survived and trust me, many rich people wanted him dead that day.
Makes sense, but why would the company wants to hidden an accident? Why is so negative for the company to call for rescue that is worth letting 5 men die? If it's only about money it's incredible evil.
@@random9-548you can’t have bad public relations. But honestly, it’ll all blow over, people will forget, and the “people at the top” never ever face consequences, though, they will most certainly make sure any small mistake by you, even consuming a substance that cannot even kill you, is documented and will most certainly get you gaslit into feeling shame.
@@random9-548yes, it’s about money. Corporations and rich people ARE evil
@@random9-548 It's a risky work, accidents occurs. This would open up the whole pandoras box for environment activists, government agencies, marine life preserve organization and millions of dollars lawsuits, oil rig companies always tries to keep all behind closed doors.
@@random9-548 It's always about money
The clip of them talking with eachother towards the end just sent shiverss down my spine. The fact that they werent helped and rescued breaks my heart.
This should've made national news. I can't believe no one tried to rescue them. This is criminal.
Unfortunately the "news" is owned by the same people who own the government - the corporations that would lose profit if the story blew up
When an accident like that happens they would rather you die because then you can't sue!
When big oil runs media why the hell would this be on the news?
When big oil runs media why the hell would this be on the news?
Company deemed their lives cost less than the oil they would lose trying to save them.
Whoever didn’t let the rescue happen should be charged with murder
They didn't expect it to happen at all so they had no plan in place or anything. Brainless and negligent
Yes
multiple counts of murder
more than murder, this is torture, I would put them through the same pain they went through.
@@Aminashinsand that makes you a thousand times more evil than them. This was negligence, what you’re saying is pure evil. On top of that, you won’t do sh*t. Small paws on a little puppy.

Agreed, the man is lucky he made it out of there, he was willing to die for his brothers.... The company should be ashamed

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

2024 update: An inquiry into the tragic deaths of four divers sucked into an oil pipeline off the coast of Trinidad, Trinidad and Tobago, has concluded that the pipeline’s owner, the Paria Fuel Trading Company Limited, should be tried for gross negligence and corporate manslaughter.
*Thank you for the update.* 💔
Thank you for posting this update. I hope to see God's justice served
Update: The families are NOT being compensated and the Government has closed to case due to “biased reporting” that went against Paria. There was no justice served…
No one will read my comment. But I will post my thoughts. This has happened before. The deaths. The coverups. It happens EVERY DAY. No I am not talking about every month. Or when the lawyers decide it is bad. EVERY DAY. Every day. I'm done here. I am sry
It may have been a legal decision to protect the company? Correct me if I'm wrong but LMCS is an independent contractor, right? If that is the case, the oil company might have felt that as long as the men died as a result of the accident they could argue in any potential lawsuit that it was their fault etc, but if they died in a rescue attempt performed by the oil company than that might change things.
The right thing to do was to have done everything, even if risky to get those guys out of there. I'm sure if one of the people trapped was a son or daughter of the company CEO they would have taken all risks to save. Sad.
PS: Oil operations generate millions a day. This could have also been to protect the pipe itself, as a potential rescue may have involved cutting a section of the pipe.
Its horrific how they handled it. No emergency services, no attempts made, nothing. They were even more worried about liability than helping them and wouldnt let the family try help either.
The families should be properly compensated, at least
That is sad😢, rest in heaven dear friends.
That's a government for ya- completely worthless.
Some hot shot lawyer needs to step up and sue the pants of the company for them
Money matters most
The comms in the pipe were outstanding. Chris is an incredible leader
I worked for LMCS for 8 years. I was always against using dead legs. The superintendents were hard headed and wouldn't have it any other way. I offered to help rescue but wasn't allowed.
Thank you for sharing! I can't imagine how it must have been.
So can you please explain why the other victims didnt try to come out as well? One victim i can't recall his name but i think faruk was it was right behind chris but why didnt he come out as well?
@inkedfeels he was terrified I imagine
@@inkedfeelsas I understand, they didn’t have enough oxygen to make it out. They had 3 tanks only which is not enough for 5 people. Chris got one tank and barely made it out because he miraculously found more tanks on his way back, otherwise he would have probably died while going through the completely submerged sections.
That’s why their only chance was to wait in an air pocket and use the2 remaining tanks resourcefully, until he can get help. That’s why they couldn’t escape.
@inkedfeels you didn't even watch the video.. yet you make this comment? Seriously? For real? Good god lord have mercy on your soul
This is the scariest thing I can imagine. Chris really showed his character, in that recording. Kept his mind together, thinking first about his crew. Exemplary leadership, in an impossible circumstance.
It’s disgusting that Paria left those men down there to die. They deserved better.
yeah they could of sent a rope or anything, fuck just cut or take off the bolts for the pipe there is humans lives..
@@Hiyooma what about the water rushing in??? They couldn't communicate with them other than beating the pipe. Also a rope would require someone to take it to them. Would you dive inside a dark oil pipe ??? Not knowing if they are even still alive?? Not as easily done as it sounds..
@@Hiyooma Nonsense! If you unscrew the bolts, the pipe is floodes instantly. a Rope? What should they do with a rope? Most of the pipe is flooded. They can only crawl out with the proper diving gear! There is not much you can do! First step would be pumping the oil and the water out, but that is not that easy....
@@jamesdoe9531
I agree with the other guy...
Maybe they could've also send a dolphin inside this pipe and attach some McDonalds on it?
😂
Build another pressured diving bell
Entry with airhose suply
Dril small hole at their location and pump fresh air
Maybe their was an inspection robot nearby that could have a air hose or rooe attched or other suplies
Idk just some idea
Calling this a nightmare is an understatement. You can wake up from a nightmare.
They COULD HAVE wake up from that nightmare fs they sended a rescue them
I'm raging. Last year a horrible earthquake happened in my country and this video reminded me dozens of people who survived more than what experts expected under those rubbles but still didn't survive because government didn't respond/send rescue
They were calling their relatives fpr help. It was the coldest day in that year
You dont feel as much in a moghtmare as you do in real life
@@bblunder that would lead to more death. They made the right call not to send a rescue team
The worst thing that can happen to a person is to take away their hope.
Idk how I stumbled onto this part of youtube but theres so many storied of divers getting trapped or lost in caves. I don't want to imagine what its like at all and I am so sorry these people.
You didn’t fail buddy! You are here to tell the story of one of the bravest workers in the world ❤
The way Chris composed himself and asked how they all were and gave his friends hope of survival was only through pure strength and faith. An absolutely heartbreaking tragedy.
That’s what I was thinking. He composed himself well and got his bearings on how everyone was doing and their situation.
Man made tragedy
@@johnbrown4949wtf?
This broke my heart, not afraid to admit it brought me to tears. They were all brothers and he wanted to make sure his brothers were okay, he wanted them all to get out alive. This is an unjustified and cruel tragedy.
I cried as well hearing Chris in the pipe and his testimony. I imagined my 4 bros trapped in a pipe, and if I was the only one that got out and they were never saved… Man, that would be beyond tough.
The last words of Chris saying "I failed them" hit me hard, you can hear the pain in his voice as if he is reliving the situation. You didn't fail them brother, you did everything in your power to save them. You are a hero, that monster of a oil company is the one who failed them. May they rest in peace.
Like number 70. Balance restored!!!
😢 that was heartbreaking 💔 testimony. I hope that the company is held accountable for this tragedy.
fk this company.hope its nonexistent anymore..
Thats big burden to carry for rest of his life... Hopefully someday he understands that he did everything he was able to do and that it is not his fault.
That line made me cry.
CHRIS. You gave it 1000%. Somone had to make it to the surface for help. You are a hero, not a zero bro!
Is nobody else’s chest pounding thinking about being in a tube?
Yes
Are you clostrophopic
@@KrazyCone definitely to some degree lol. Being in a full elevator I’m fine but in an enclosed tube or the image of being in a coffin sized constraint, makes me nervous
@@MrCOOKIEMONSTA4 but that’s human nature lol
@@KrazyCone agreed lol but for Real just reading this story makes me nervous 😂
After doing some reading, it's been over a year since since this happened and Chris is struggling severely,mentally and financially and the company has done ZERO to help his family while he hasn't been able to work.Chris didn't do anything wrong but trying to live with the experience he went through is a whole different hell I'm sure.
I hope someone starts a go-fund me or something man, honestly the community cares more than that company they could be getting some help from them I hope. Jesus it's just so messed up
Yet again real life rich people being a million times more evil than those in dystopian scifi. You literally can‘t make it up it‘s insane!
This is disgraceful. Shame on them!
Disgusting way to treat anyone he should sue the bastards
@@markcaswell715😂😂
Man it’s crazy how calm they sounded in pitch black when they realized they were inside the pipe. RIP to the ones who didn’t make it. My heart goes out to them and their families.
They didn't fail to make it, they were murdered. This is the type of shit people wants to leave behind when they migrate to your countries. The West where human life has value. My government got their goons to set fire to a slum which housed around 50K people to get rid of them so that she can build new projects there.
They probably thought someone would rescue them.
I hope for that company to get sued immediately for their inadequate behavior because how are you just gonna ignore the fact that those men were in trouble...
Sound calm to me my guy, given their circumstances. You'd be wailing like a little girl in terror.@@SafariFerrari

Absolutely appalling you can hear in their voices how strong they were inside the pipe….and for no rescue to ever come. Insane
With so many drones and camera's and other technology, and a company with endless money, there are ZERO reasons those men should not have been saved. The company saw their lives as a waste of money. Absolutely disgusting.
There's probably a reason. I imagine if they cut that pipe open, it would have either sucked in the rescue team, or instantly killed the crew inside. I need to look up how they managed to pull the bodies out
@@jimlthorthe company could’ve pulled them out way earlier
@@jimlthorwhy would it suck the rescue team ? It's already filled with water , suction creates when outside and inside pressure are different like it was when they were repairing the pipe. The only reason of not cutting is that it would coste them some money.
And even If they didn't want to cut the pipe , there are several other ways to pull them out with a very little money , like they could've first pushed a small pipe to provide them oxygen, them simply pulling them out with a rope, like Chris came.
@@iidentifyMyselfAfemalepotato it has to still be at a pressure that's still very low for those guys to be able to survive inside it.
@@jimlthor I guess you should visit some physics class.
No one even attempted to send an air hose down the pipe or a camera with a communication device?? This is probably the WORST way anyone could die! This is so haunting and disturbing. Someone should be held accountable and this story REALLY needs to be told on a wider scale.
look up the nutty putty tragedy
@@rinsailoat least an rescue team tried theyre best to rescue him from the cave
Ephesians 6:10-18 says,
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.😊😊
@@rinsailothis is worse, in NP incident they were trying to rescue the man, and even though they failed they tried, he saw his wife for last time and later died. Those men here died with hope of someone comming to rescue them, inside an OIL pipe filled with water and while having broken bones.
having hope and still dying or never having hope at all..i think having hope with a rescue team behind you is worse...plus having no mobility...all that hope and fighting lead to nothing...
these poor men. i cant even imagine. 😟 justice to their families!! none of this is okay. keep your head up Chris. you ARE a HERO. keep telling your truth.
This is what nightmares are made of! The absolute worst place to be trapped and the worst place to die.

How the hell did a bunch of idiotic billionaires going down in a homemade submarine go so viral over a story like this. Well and truly crazy. Heartbreaking listening to Chris recount the events, I hope he can find some peace in his life.
It also depends on the location of the incident. Not many people see the news from countries like this as opposed to the US news. Social media access is also a factor. But still, this needed more attention

Both are heartbreaking. Why you have to put one over the other?
They're idiotic for trusting someone who was supposed to be in charge? Stfu
Because they are famous people
I’m so happy my hobby is chilling at home and watching random videos.
I've seen another video about this but this one hit me much harder. The video depictions coupled with the heartbreaking testimony and the go pro footage itself made it real. This will stay with me for a while.
The worst thing is knowing that those men could have been saved. I feel so sorry for Chris. Apparently Chris wanted to go back and save his mates, but was forcibly sedated. Chris is an absolute legend, and the company are more than just villains, they are the absolute definition of evil for letting those men die.
And what if they had sent in rescue teams, and something went wrong and it led to more deaths. Then you'd be sitting here talking about how stupid it was to risk the lives of more people and it's because the evil corporation tried to save its ass and cover its mistake.
Also remember that Paria requested that the site be completely shut down to the public because good Samaritans were attempting to enter the pipe to rescue the men.
It was a bad situation that would of only resulted in more death if a rescue was attempted
Wow, that's really bad...
There are a bunch of psychopaths in this story! Really diabolical people, THE ONLY right they have is to spend the rest of their lives in prison! Nothing more for these guys!
@@kylereed5161 No.
Netflix needs to do a documentary on this and the aftermath of failures by Paria. Only way Paria can be held responsible is more public attention. I can't believe there were zero repercussions for them.
Too rich to fail, too rich to jail
Netflix is not stupid they understand disasters and risk factors this is a more difficult situation than people think

The only reason this did not yappen is because of rowely
Oil Workers have some of the most dangerous jobs imaginable. Chris demonstrated great leadership qualities taking a blind headcount and injury check while rallying his team to dial it in and work as a team to try to escape. It’s heartbreaking they died I’m glad Chris made it out. Whoever made the call to not rescue the remaining 4 should be charged with negligent homicide x4.
По какой еще неосторожности? Это умышленное убийство.
These men are the heroes of society. Without people like this our lives would come to a grinding halt. They do the most dangerous jobs so we can have a functional society. God bless their souls.
No. Stop it. We don't need oil, and it could be the very thing that destroys us. These men died for nothing. There is no good reason for any of this to happen.
Chris is a hero, forced to break a promise because he couldn't convince evil people to show compassion for human life. Godspeed Chris.
I dont think It was evil , More like not knowing wat to do , AND if you thing of It , wat was there to do ? How can they take them out ? They cant get peaple in fore theme , AND cant get them stuff , AND cant cut the shit open or water well kill them , sadly there was not much ti do , like can you think of a way that was posible to get them out ?
@@jaredojeda2304 My first thought: Oxygen lines and winch cables...something they had readily available, the day Chris emerged. Anything but stalling. It was evil to let the clock run out and that's what they did.

ITS to long , AND thats makes It imposible to control with the distance , so no, that not a good idea , AND the oxigine was not the problem , this guys were ilive fore 3 or 4 days so they can still make It with there own oxigane , the problem Is how to get them out if they aré broken AND cant move .

@@jaredojeda2304 Bro it's literally stated the company had no intentions of rescuing them. What do you mean it wasn't evil🤦♂
The fact a rescue operation was launched when the titan sub went missing, without knowing whether they were alive or not, but no attempt was made to rescue these poor souls, who could have been saved, and were left to die. This proves people only care about you if you are rich and famous.
Very true and they new that they wer alive still but no rescue cost to much money to save a life but cost nothing to take a life pirana
Yeah same in my country a few years ago, a military submarine full of brave crews suddenly lost contact during patrol. Little outcry or sympathy from international media compared to those billionaires

No it doesn't, it proves that you should appreciate the US more for their procedures.
This is so unbelievably terrifying and tragic and so heartbreaking. I can’t believe there has been little to no coverage on this story. Okg I can’t even believe this. I am in tears. Sobbing like a baby. The fact I am in shear panic shaking having anxiety watching this i can’t been begin to believe how terrifying this was to go thru. Man, the one survivor you can hear his pure pain in his voice, u didn’t fail ur brothers, you did everything you could and you faught ur see off to survive. I am so sorry u have to live with this pain. God bless and rest in peace to those who lost their lives.
I hope this story continues to be told and spreaded around. There has to be justice for the four men that lost their lives due to the negligence of the company.
My heart goes out to Chris putting his friends first when the company didn't even make an attempt to save the four men trapped.
The fact this man survived is a miracle. This is so horrifying.
Doesn't sound like miracle when you get to know that others could have been saved but no one saved them
God keeps some alive because He knows they’re gonna follow Him in the future. He saved me from death many times and at 22 I found out who He was and what He did for me. I followed Him and not this corrupt evil world.
@@MamaMia-mf7ei you can reject Him thats okay, but I've not only seen who God is and all that He has changed in my life. God exists and He is coming back very soon everything in the bible is coming true that's why this world is getting more and more demonic because satan is running out of time. Pay attention to the music now a days, and their music videos, the movies mow a days it's all promoting satan. They tell us everything in movies of what they do and they laugh at everyone because they don't believe. I'm 24 and Jesus came into my life at 22 I'm never stopping His path and way of life. All our history, science, and government is all fake. If you want the real truth of earth, where we came from, where go after death, who God is and why He chose you to live go and read the bible. God Bless.
@@RedzClapz Nice... you had to get your other youtube account to tell me another meaningless comment 😂 go ahead keep laughing it doesn't bother me at all. I know God exists and nothing will ever stop me from this path there is too much proof He exists and I've seen it. God Bless.

Man the way he says "Everything inside me was hoping a rescue was going on." Killed me. You can really hear the despair in his voice for his fallen friends.
yes, he really loved his friends and did not care only about his safety
is heartbreaking when he said “ I failed them” 😢 because he promised he was coming back to save them, damn this hurts 😢

@@Dusk80not really it wasn’t that hard to get back in and pull them out one by fyzer was just 20 meters away from the exist and they didn’t even save him they could have simply dropped a cable and he could have grabbed it but nah they just left
The fact that no one was arrested for this is absolutely insane, cant imagine being down there for that long just to die because rescue never came, the worst part is the people responsible probably don't even think about those men at all, R.I.P.
This is one of the most horrific things that I’ve ever heard. I truly cannot even fathom the emotion and mental trauma this event has inflicted on Chris. This disgrace of a company should be legally required to financially support his for the rest of his life, along with providing the best therapy that money can buy. This is sickening.
What is gut wrenching is knowing that these men who wound up dying may have believed to the end that Chris abandoned them, when all the while, their doom was the result of a pathetic, wealthy piece of trash.
who's name is Colin Piper. i hope he rots in hell
I doubt they think that he abandoned them. All context and video clues would point away from them thinking that lol .
They were probably delirious and oxygen deprived to believe anything as time went on
There's no way they would've thought that about him, they knew him well enough to know that he never would've done that. They did know the kind of company they were working for though, so I guarantee they knew that that was who was to blame

Imagine if Chris didn’t make it? To survive and tell his side of this story? It’s not his fault. The fact that NO RESCUE mission was attempted and the rescue team getting pulled out of the water is disgusting. Those poor men. ❤ 💔

@@Deivids23 They did not need to destroy the pipe to get the men out well in time.
I mean they had like the whole world and the whole army looking for billionaires on that submarine and they werent even alive. These men where still breathing.. but no attempt was made for a rescue...
Poor men. This actually made me cry out of frustration. What a sad world we live in 😔
Thanks for the well made informative vid! I just learned about this story and its incredibly sad and I feel for all involved. This video gave me a visual I didnt have by reading about it. I hope Chris and others can get some kind of "justice" from this unfortunate event.
This is disgusting and just one more reason we need to hold these giant corporations more responsible. no words for this lack of behavior

The survivors guilt Chris must feel has to be completely overwhelming. My heart breaks listening to him describing how it felt after being rescued and hoping for the rescue of his comrades.
The worst part of it all, is that Christopher blames himself and thinks that he let down the others. That is just gut-wrenching. Christopher is a hero for doing his best on behalf of others.
nah don t buy it, he knew exactly what he was doing, he took all the air tanks for himself, abandonned everybody else, and then "accused " the company. He didnt even try to save them, he just informed his management and asked for a raise the same day, don t listen to everything you hear.

at least he could have the decency to just say "I wanted to survive, so I took all the tanks for myself" instead of acting like "I wanted to help" because no, he never tried. When you follow the case, you see that when he came back, the first thing he did was to ask for money, the second thing he did was to rest, when the company asked for details, he refused to go with the divers to help locate them, when this was exposed, he blamed the company, like 3 days later

He pushed as hard as he could for his boys. He lead when he and everyone else were in fear. He was brave and did everything right but everyone else’s failed them. He Will forever feel like it’s his fault. I hope you find peace brother.

May God give him and the other families the solace, and reward that they so rightfully deserve.
Salute to the brave men who swim in the deep, dark, waters for the benefit of us all.

That's what I can't stop thinking about. How could not one attempt be made with som3 kind of precautions? If there saying there's NOTHINg that cam be done then the problem obviously lies in tbe design or banning that horribly dangerous counter pressure plug that fucked them
Why would he feel it's his fault? Please elaborate brother
This is far beyond any nightmare I've ever had. Getting stuck in what's essentially industrial machinery, hundreds of feet in, under hundreds of feet of water, injured, in the dark. That triggers every single claustrophobic atom in my body. This brave guy did everything he could to save his team. You couldn't expect anything more from him, and he shouldn't blame himself.

Hearing the sole survivor telling his story is just harrowing. I can’t imagine the pain these poor guys went through. Justice must be served.
I can imagine they heard the knocks, and were relieved that they were going to be rescued.
There is a pinned comment that gives more information about the man responsible

I feel so bad for Chris, he made a promise to save them and yet nobody helped him keep his promise... and because of those filthy people, he blamed HIMSELF for their deaths. I hope he's okay and knows that it was not his fault.

According to a recently released report- Chris still gets nightmares and can’t bring himself to go near the water, not even to teach his three year old daughter how to swim.
@@bookishlyhaileybrookethats so sad i feel so bad for him
Chris didn't fail them. The company failed them. Chris did everything he could. May he find peace.
I don't understand why he hasn't tried saving them himself? Am I not understanding something, is that not a thing in the western world? For a Slavic person it is hard to understand why he hasn't tried to rescue them himself, and just waited for someone else to do it? This is so bizzare. I seriously don't get it. The western culture is on another level of my understanding.
I cant even imagine the horror they endured!
My heart goes out to this man. I can’t imagine the unimaginable horror of it all and still to this day! I started diving for a living in the 1960’s where life expectancy wasn’t that long on average.
My best friend Jerry and I were commercial divers in the North Sea. We had worked together for a couple of years on all kinds of jobs. It was 1974 and we then went our different ways. He had joined Comex and I had joined Oceaneering. I became a Saturation Superintendent and he was still saturation diving. Jerry was investigating why a pipe burial sled had suddenly caught on something.
He left the bell and saw that the sled was against some sort of valve on the pipe. He was re-setting the sled when the valve and pipe burst. It was a smaller pipe and sucked his whole arm and part of his body into that empty pipe. Impossible to escape, with the empty pipe exerting tremendous suction and for his bellman to even attempt to get anywhere near him.
It took many, many hours to where another diver could extract him. Long dead, it was a tragic accident. I lost my best friend. It was so hard to visit his wife as she explained the accident. In those days there were so many divers dying and thankfully we eventually learned from these accidents. Years later I became a Barge Superintendent with a gold helmet in charge of a pipe laying barge with almost 300 people onboard and a huge crane capable of lifting platforms, with 5 support vessels and crew under my control. Every time I watched the divers, or one of two ROVs’ go in, my mind would think of Jerry. If there had been any accident; I would’ve moved Heaven and Earth to do something!
This accident was so unbelievably horrific, where so many good men trapped in an oily pipe, breathing in crude oil, which burns on the surface, never mind under pressure, while in total darkness making decisions to help the majority, by instigating a rescue that was too late in coming.
True horror!
I’m now 75 and I feel for this brother deeply and sincerely!
I'm so sorry for your loss. That's a terrible way to have your life ended.
Absolutely terrifying.
I spent two years working offshore in Trinidad, from 2020 to 2022. Absolutely some of the friendliest and most genuine guys I've ever worked with. This breaks my heart to hear of this. The fact that the first thing Chris does is to check on the condition of his crew tells you everything you need to know about him.
Ephesians 6:10-18 says,
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.😊😊😊❤❤❤

This is my absolute worst nightmare. Every aspect of it. The claustrophobia, drowning, injuries, volatile liquid that burns, being stuck and not knowing how long I’ll have to suffer terrified and in pain.
Couldn’t have said it better. Chris is an absolute solider surviving and being able to tell that nightmare.

A heartbreaking story of one mans bravery and love for his fellow men to against all odds go ahead in a dire situation to get help saving his brothers lives only to be denied by the very company that was supposed to help... his men trusted him and he did what he was supposed to do , get help.... the grief and the pain from feeling like you failed your mission just be so hard on the heart man. God bless christopher and rest in peace to his fellow men. The company should be used and have to pay out millions in compensation to families of all affected, this is pure evil those men suffered for days.

i almost got emotional when he blamed himself for it man. i can't imagine the guilt i would have if i thought 4 guy i cared about died because of me. it wasn't his fault. he didn't deserve that burden. none of them deserved that disaster.
Dude tried to escape the hospital he was in to try and mount his own rescue mission. Definitely not his fault
@@church6882 I beg to differ sir. I studied safety and worked in the safety industry while I was in engineering college. The correct procedure would be drill a 1 inch hole 1 ft below the plug and bleed off the pressure then when the pressure is normalized pull the plug. Weld the hole shut. Safety is Job 1. Release pressure slowly release vacuum slowly. No wonder he wanted to mount a rescue because he's the one who could have said we're not going to just open that Delta p tiger box without bleeding the pressure off of the tiger Delta p. He didn't make that objection because he's not an engineer he's just following a routine that was talked to him by the guy who told him to pull that plug all of a sudden because he was sure there was no pressure. Can you find the safety guy and you take a 30 inch plug out without a bleed off? If I was the safety diver I would be a little disappointed in myself for taking the money if I didn't see that coming. I've been on here for a long time telling everybody how to do their job and having everybody spit on me and I just don't care until I hear that it kind of echoed around and they change your procedure I'll take a shot at it once in a while and somebody will say bleed off the pressure first this morning. No one will know no one will care I don't care. I can't do anything for those guys but harden my heart and save the next four because that's what they want me to do with this point.

This video of them in the pipe, honestly made me feel sick. What those poor guys endured, I hope videos like yours cause more public outcry to hold those responsible for letting those guys die without trying to rescue. Chris may have survived, but he lives with the nightmares and feeling of being responsible in someway.
Whats even worse is immediately after they get sucked into the pipe, all the men (the ones who were still conscious) kept calling/shouting “Chris”, further proof that they all trusted & relied on him in difficult situations
I hope Chris doesn’t blame himself for their fate.
He does exactly that in the Video. He is crying and saying "I failed them". In truth he was determined to rescue them but the company did nothing, even though they had the time necessary.
Survivors guilt is unavoidable, it takes a really long time if ever to overcome it. People may spend their whole lives thinking of every action and decision that could have been changed in order to have a different outcome. I still do it and it’s been 8 years, I’m sure with therapy it would help but I don’t believe that would ever make it go away fully. It’s something you have to learn to live with and find a way to make peace with, trauma like that changes you forever. It broke my heart seeing the amount of pain he was in recounting his horrific experience. That company is fully responsible from the installation of that plug, lack of safety protocol and abandonment of the recuse mission and all those men. Blood is on their hands and I hope Chris can find a way to heal as well as the families of those who perished. A good start would be that company being held accountable.
Where was the rescue team ???
Bro the last conversation is disturbing. Most of them are clearly hurt but they keep believing someone will come to help them but they never do. Imagine what they must be thinking for days inside the pipe, with broken bones and no vision, but just words from their mates. And as the days pass, the voices keep getting lesser and the last man alive can neither see, nor hear anything, just believe that he will be saved till the time he dies. Such a sad story man.

Can you imagine, having to crawl yourself out of a dirty oil filled pipe, with broken bones and body parts, not being able to see, and the only way you can move your body is forward or backward. And on top of all this, not knowing whether your going in the right direction.
I have broken both of my arms before, and when I tell you the amount of pain you feel when you have broken bones is almost unbearable. When you are moving your body without any protection on it, you can literally feel your bones scraping against each-other and it’s unbelievable amount of pain. And to imagine having to literally crawl yourself, and swim for about 30-40 minutes and it’s broken body parts. I couldn’t even imagine how much pain they were in.

I actually can’t believe how calm they sounded when they were talking to each other making sure everyone was okay if I was in that pipe for even 3 seconds I would freak the hell out.
Tbf they're a diving crew, confined spaces and claustrophobia part of the job.
Literally man, I can't even breathe properly in a dark room, which has good air, I can even stand move around it, freely. Just think of that pipe the horror.... I'm dying man😵
Every aspect of this story is unbelievable. I had a massive anxiety attack just listening to this. I can't even fathom
No u wouldnt freak out, because ur life would depend on u keeping ur shit together. Crazy what people can do when life is on the line.
@@encapsule2220 Plenty of people freak out when their life is on the line...
The fact that ANYONE got out of that pipe without outsiders coming to help is a miracle.
This was a hard watch. One of the most disturbing stories I've ever seen. Would certainly make a terrifying movie.
My heart was absolutely pounding the entire time. I can’t believe I had never heard about this.
Survivors guilt and PTSD...the utter pain on his face.... it's unbearable to watch. I began crying with him
Same :’( I feel so bad for him
It's heart-wrenching. That poor guy is gonna probably have guilt and PTSD for a long time. Even though there was nothing he could do about it.
He probably replays the memory of telling them he'll make sure people save them, he probably feels like HE let them down when in reality the horrible company didn't give a crap.
