Yeah, channel declares not using IA aside some scenes, but nobody is credited (writer, narrator, editor, etc.). So yeah, another fully IA generated content probably.
I think all these mountains are extremely dangerous. Imagine not being able to remove the deceased for years cos its just too dangerous, like with Everest 😢
I mean I'd request that if I died and they're gonna move me, just push me down the nearest crevice or slope. I wouldn't want anybody risking themselves just to bring my remains back. Nor to try and save me either! I wouldn't go even if I was in good shape though, not just because of the risk, but because if an injury or anything happens or you're just slow then you end up slowing down the other people. I would feel so guilty for that. Or imagine you see someone suffering and you can't help them.
It's hard to feel sorry for these people that died, i do however feel empathy for their families ofcourse. The climbers knew the risk and still chose to do it, knowing full well there was a high chance they would not return. Climbing K2 is just Russian Roulette with extra steps.
It's literally human nature to push our boundaries. With your thinking we never would have made it to space. We were made to conquer the stars and everything in between.
This is a really good video. I've watched a lot of videos and documentaries about this event and I really like how you included the locations and made everything easy to follow! A lot of videos only focus on the accidents themselves, but not the background. I appreciate your thorough research! I hope you will post more videos like this, this was pretty awesome.
The events of that day was a lesson of incompetence, pride, selfishness. No one should have climbed that day as late as it was with ropes not in place.
I don't feel sorry for any of these folks. They died doing what they love, what they're passionate about, and they knew the risks. Dead men speak no tales. Their families and loved ones demanding the world to retrieve their bodies is laughable.
@Jdalio5 yes, true for some, but not for all. There are some amazing mountaineers out there who know what they're doing, but no amount of training and experience will ever ensure that everything always go as planned.
I'm now convinced that deciding to climb these types of mountains is simply a severe sign of mental illness and the mountain is there to once and for all fix the problem.
No idea what happens at that altitude and how fast it impacts your judgement, but as a diver there are certain rules I dont break even though I probably could and be fine. I would think high altitude climbers would have rules in place to prevent disasters like this. Like turning back at a certain time of the day. Summiting at 7:30 PM for example seems like suicide. Certainly by 2008 they knew the dangers of getting caught up there at night or without supplemental oxygen.
You'd be surprised how quickly you start making and fully commit to really stupid decisions once your brain is starved of oxygen for any extended period of time.
I wish k2 was the tallest mountain on earth. Then all the tiktokers would stay home instead and not be tempted to create traffic jams at 28000ft to feed their instagrams content
Yeah no, If K2 is the highest it will still have the same problem as Everest. These influencers flock to Everest cause it's the tallest. If K2 the tallest, they'll climb that one instead.
I saw another documentary where the guy Streng had put his camera in his pocket, but it still recorded the audio of him yelling to release the rope.. It's really scary.
The person in the summit clip who has blonde hair and is wearing dark green is Ryan Moore/Mitchell who submitted Everest this year. I think he is only 19 years old. Lovely lad.
"i just watched the end of someones life, their story cut short, on this absolutely dangerous mountain. time to continue climbing!" its hard to feel bad..
As to the death of Mandic (the first climber to fall to his death on that day): it was a freak accident and should not have happened. Weather conditions during the ascent were perfect and he unclipped himself from the rope to overtake a somewhat slower climber. So there was no real pressure leading up to this incident as stated in this video! This was lack of caution in an inherently dangerous environment.
Damn, it's like something out of a movie. I was expecting they would be killed in one big accident, or something. Not one accident after another after another after another. Like the mountain's just picking them off one by one.
@@Marauder623 I think there were a guy tried to ski down from one of the 8000+. :) there are people out there who does not know the concept of "you can die".
Hello, Thanks for your interesting videos ! I'm actually not capable to end a difficult treetop course in a secured environement, at one point I can go ahead i'm way to scared haha...so, climbing mountain without any sort of security well.... it is crazy to me :D. This is both impressive and deadly terrifying, and I respect those who are living for it. I just always had a question, a dumb one I guess but still : is it totally impossible, like 100% impossible, to stay the night near the pic when you see that you'll have to make the descent by night, or in a tempest ? Their is absolutly no way to... Idk, dig a hole, and have a shelter strong enough to allow you to pass just 1 night near the pic ? You maybe don't spare enough oxygene even by not mooving at all to survive so long ? Thanks for the hypothetic answer, and keep it up with your really good vids :D !
if you are not too lazy, this story has been told in great, readable detail, with none of the misstatements, by the climbers involved in the rescues. this is a sad story, that cannot be covered accurately in a brief video meant to make money.
They knew the risks, they died doing what they loved, I feel nothing but pride for those that died, and sadness for their families. This is K2, not everest, they all knew the risks
Don't these people get it? It is so exhausting to ascend. So little time to descend back safely. And above all They Can't even rest. Death is almost certain.
So, they just fall off the mountain like LOL oops and no one cares. People just die. Someone's husband dies like LOL oopsie, I'll just get another one. LOL kthxbye! Damn, these mountain climbers just view there lives as disposable as toilet paper.
The bottleneck serac looked way more intimidating before part of it collapsed. Not that I’d ever want to spend any amount of time under that ticking time bomb. It’s just a matter of time.
If u ask me the Matterhorn is the most dangerous ppl think it’s not that hard the go w not enough conditioning or equipment underestimating the mountain that’s why it has the most deaths of them all.
@@teresacorrigan3076 your welcome. I have the book of this incident and have read many accounts. I do think they should have turned back after the first fall.
I don’t know what are the rules of hiking but i know life is important than everything in the life from my opinion i don’t know why they don’t do it safe when hiking highest peak in the world they know there will be risk of there lives so i think if you fall from 7000M why don’t you take the parachute with you if you think you are gonna die you can open the parachute and just save your life man
I think it may be because you’re constantly making impact with the mountain as you fall. IMO, and I am certainly not an expert so please take with a grain of salt, there probably wouldn’t even be enough time between the impact moments for the parachute to deploy.
Man iam split-either this channel is AI that was trained on Scary Interesting's content, or you are just a copycat. And i am not talking just about the genre of videos, but the editing style and background music as well

Me neither.
These folks just love to live life on the edge. Live life by the edge, and you'll die by the edge. (No pun intended).
sounds like a cope to me
Imagine not climbing them and just staying in bed.
After watching the first 2 climbers fall and seeing how late it was, I'm turning back.
I'm not there to see it in the first place, ever
I'm not even going 😮
This is the decision made from your sofa. Now make that decision under the pressure of the objective, hypoxia, shock and perhaps summit fever.
Summit fever is the worst. The mind led them to think situation was better than they thought it was.
Literally not single photo or B roll used in the video is of K2
Yeah, channel declares not using IA aside some scenes, but nobody is credited (writer, narrator, editor, etc.). So yeah, another fully IA generated content probably.
The bottleneck was shown actually.
@cnk9822 true, and they superimposed those tiny figures over it and showed tiny little Dren twirling away ... that was odd.
I think all these mountains are extremely dangerous. Imagine not being able to remove the deceased for years cos its just too dangerous, like with Everest 😢

Even just getting to the foot of K2 is a big deal!
It's hard to feel sorry for these people that died, i do however feel empathy for their families ofcourse. The climbers knew the risk and still chose to do it, knowing full well there was a high chance they would not return. Climbing K2 is just Russian Roulette with extra steps.

@@radityapoerwanto7018@ radityapoerwanto7018 K2 is much more of a technical and steep climb, that creates more of a barrier to content creators.
Agreed. And people that actually know anything about mountaineering aren't impressed by Everest. It's a circus. K2 is the actual crown jewel.
suggesting that everest is in any way easy is fucking insane
When he fell from the bottelneck, Dren Mandic unclipped himself to pass Norwegian climber Cecilia Skog.
I saw another documentary where the guy Streng had put his camera in his pocket, but it still recorded the audio of him yelling to release the rope.. It's really scary.
Please add more commercials. I almost saw abit of actual mountaineering

so k2 is basically everest’ little cousin with a napoleon complex
only the basque climber and pemba sherpa summitted responsibly
Pemba is awesome
descending in the dark...bonkers
Listening to these stories makes me realize these people are not very bright!
Broken rules of high altitude climbing don't save the dead or close to dead.
You can't seek out danger and not risk getting killed.
This would almost be comical were it not real. Seems like a cartoon or something with person after person falling.
Was just thinking of the same. If it would have not been a real tradegy, the plot is more like Monty Python sketch.
They don't care about their lives, why should we?
Stunning yet deadly . Both k 2 and Everest
Do not compare K2's with Everest's death rate ,,if you want compare anything try K2 and Annapurna
"i just watched the end of someones life, their story cut short, on this absolutely dangerous mountain. time to continue climbing!" its hard to feel bad..
Why people try to bring down a dead body? He is gone. If the family wants the body they can finance a rescue.
As to the death of Mandic (the first climber to fall to his death on that day): it was a freak accident and should not have happened. Weather conditions during the ascent were perfect and he unclipped himself from the rope to overtake a somewhat slower climber. So there was no real pressure leading up to this incident as stated in this video!
This was lack of caution in an inherently dangerous environment.
Climbing these mountains makes no sense to me it is almost certain death . It is very sad to die for what ???
I’ll stick to being on flat ground.
Everyone who gets on a mountain knows the cost. Just like driving !
Great story thanks. Unfortunately if something happens to you esp a fall, anyone will have a hard time saving you...reality of 🧗♂️ 🥾⛏️🗻
He didn’t only use videos of k2 also from Everest
The thing is if they cant walk you have to leave them there to die or you will die with them
Damn, it's like something out of a movie. I was expecting they would be killed in one big accident, or something. Not one accident after another after another after another. Like the mountain's just picking them off one by one.
Mfs be asking for shit to happen knowing you shouldnt go up them mountains
Losing your life bringing a body down is absurd. Such a waste and beyond ridiculous.
Everest is for climbers.
K2 is for elite mountaineers.
I will stay with climbing mountains in central park
