The guillotine became the preferred method of execution during the French Revolution as it was believed at the time to actually be the most humane method of capital punishment because it was fast and over quick.
But as time went on, more evidence accumulated that the death was not as quick as previously thought.
I'll never forget the story I read, reported by a U.S. Army veteran who had been stationed in Korea, who watched his friend get decapitated in a car crash and apparently understood what happened to him before dying. I actually tracked down the story to make sure I didn't get any of the details wrong here:
In June 1989 the taxi he and a friend were riding in collided with a truck. The man was pinned in the wreckage while his friend ended up being completely decapitated. Here's what he reported happened:
"My friend's head came to rest, face up, and (from my angle,) upside-down. As I watched, his mouth opened and closed no less than two times. The facial expressions he displayed were first of shock or confusion, followed by terror or grief. I cannot exaggerate and say that he was looking all around, but he did display ocular movement in that his eyes moved from me, to his body, and back to me. He had direct eye contact with me when his eyes took on a hazy, absent expression... and he was dead."
•
So apparently the man who was decapitated was unlucky enough to have his head fall between his own legs in such a position that he was able to look up and actually see his own body and understand what had happened to himself before he died...
True or not, I'll never forget it.
Nick C Damn!.. 😳
Pretty sure anyone killed with a guillotine would be aware of what had happened also.
You’ll never forget it! And now neither will we!! FGSakes!!
Marlin Brando described his death in a seen from the Movie "Apocalypse Now" after he had been fatally sliced up by a machete attack and was about to die as; "the horror...the horror." I think that pretty accurately sums up how a person would feel or what they might say, if they were able to talk, in the brief seconds following decapitation by a guillotine. Actual horror I believe, is truly indescribable!
Nick C that is so sad and a horrible for that person. I can’t even grasp it.
"Any last request?"
"Yeah, would you mind setting a pillow down there for me?"
No doubt! Love it!!!
Emilis2023 My last request would be let me go free LMFAO.🤣🤷🏽♂️
Or put a helmet on me.
I laughed at that 😂 But now I'm think what kinda sicko I must be... 🤔
FUNNY!
If i called out a beheaded man's name right after being decapitated, and he looked at me, then closed his eyes, i would just leave him alone.
Lmao
… and have nightmares forever.
no, you ask for lottery numbers.
That is a " deep thought"......Jack Handy style!!
I thought sth along those lines… but I'd thank him for his contribution to science, trying to make him feel sorta good…

lmaoooo

Better keep a cushion down there
It wouldnt hurt because the nerve route for all pain receptors is through the spinal cord which is cut off aka you are very unlikely to feel pain unless the cut wasnt very clean lol
@@nulled7888 lmao, i guess the joke's on the executioner then!
If someone keeps calling my name after beheading me i would be really pissed, like dude just let me die in peace ffs
Right? I'd spend my last remaining bit of energy to roll my eyes and mouth the word "cunt"
maybe if your vocal cords arent cut you could still talk

That’s gotta be one of the most horrifying and bizarre things to see, a decapitated head looking at you and focusing it’s eyes on yours after you call their name.
Not NEARLY as terrifying as looking up at him for a half minute.😱
@@Davethreshold not even CLOSE to as terrifying as a flying severed head!
@@abandonedaccount123 No, I think BEING a severed head and looking up at the guy who cut your head off is more terrifying. The advantage is the terror won't last very long.🖤

If you die from blood loss you're aware you're dying, but after a time you cannot seem to summon the will to care about it. It's kind of peaceful. I almost bleed to death about 15 years ago, it was only 4 units of packed red cells that saved me. Much of what happened is lost to me, but I do remember realising I was dying but surprisingly didn't care. It was bloody odd.
Yes, thank you.. I had this similar experience of peace when I almost accidentally suffocated during a seizure and a lot of people surprisingly feel that they wouldn’t have this same reaction
I heard the same thing about drowning. The sister of a friend of mine ALMOST drowned and it was apparently a strangely peaceful experience
Same here. Lost several litres of blood in a matter of seconds from a burst blood vessel in my stomach. I fell to the floor, remaining conscious for a few seconds, not exactly sure how long but somewhere between 20 and 30 seconds. I remember feeling comfortably warm, the stone floor felt soft and I felt perfectly calm and content, fully aware I was dying and that these were my last seconds alive. Woke up in ICU a week later. I have lost all fear of death as a result.
@@PersonalityMalfunction that’s both terrifying and very comforting. Not sure how to feel about that but glad you’re here to share the experience
"It was bloody odd"
Lmao very punny
Sounds to me like Mr. Languille got very annoyed with Dr. Beurieux for disturbing him in the middle of his intense dying... twice!

FYI: When Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded by Queen Elizabeth I in 1587AD, the axeman was so nervous it took something like six swings of the axe before her head came off. Brutal stuff.
Oof
Anne Boleyn looked around and her mouth moved after she was decapitated.
OMG How awful...
@@jellyfishi_ Saarrryyyy!
@@ericaonline3739 Before the execution the axeman knelt down beside Queen Mary to ask her to forgive him for what he had to do. She was gracious to him and told him to proceed. This was one of those moments that stood out in the biography of Queen Elizabeth I, which overall was a great read.
My history teacher in 1991 told the class that getting your head chopped of is a very COLD feeling. I thought, “How would you know this?”
Source: dude trust me on this.
They’re immortal and they’ve been beheaded before and all the history that they’re teaching is just things that they’ve experienced cuz they’ve lived for thousands of years
Because your blood completely stops circulating
Because you're no longer connected to the parts of your body making you feel warm. Or any parts of your body for that matter.
Theres an actual way u can be beheaded and still live. I've heard about it. Your head is not severed though but is detached in a way and can be put back on. I know it sounds nuts but I've heard of it. It's under the skin

We are truly lucky to be living in an age where we'll likely die at our own volition because of disease or immediately in a nuclear hellstorm.
But what if life isn't the end, and reincarnation is the truth? We could have been some of these people (possibly even one of Vlad the Impaler's victims). We could have been aliens who lived even worst lives, and feel even more suffering than what humanity has ever experienced. Really makes you think, and gives you very strong panic attacks. I really hope I'm born into a post-scarcity alien race in my next life and hope I have the option to choose when I die. I don't want to end up in another "Dark-Age" race thousands of light-years away, or be another victim of religious doctrine.
Imagine you gotta cut someone's head off, they step on your foot, and then they apologize. "It's alright don't worry about"
Marie Antoinette accidentally stepped on the executioner's foot and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it."
She wanted him to make it a clean cut so didn't want to offend him before.

6:05 "You'll be in some state of shock". Yes. This seems very likely. The shock might also be fatal if not treated rapidly. The fact that your brain has been catastrophically separated from your central nervous system and irreparably severed from blood and oxygen supply might also prove problematic. But shock, yeah, that will be a big issue when it comes to recovery.
Shock in this sense refers to neurological shock, not the feeling of surprise

@GutlesCombisNinja - I feel stupid now.
I know a 400 pound dude at work whose head I’m positive is over 8 pounds
I've seen people with quite large heads, definitely bigger than average....you know, like when it's such a difference that you cant help but notice.
You stole my name
I think it’s the average
Now it'll hurt him more.
I went to school with a boy we called pregnant head, I'm positive his head was more than 8lbs
Another fun fact - all those pictures of the executioner holding the head up to the crowd.....they are actually showing the head to the headless body, so you could argue that there was a little of the torture element, however it was psychological.
you mean showing the headless body to the head ?
ohhhhh - damn!
haha imagine getting your head cut off and then seeing your body from outside for the first time in your life ;DD
while yout blood is pumping out of your neck of course lol
@@TheChangeYT Blood wouldn't be pumping out of the head, just leaking. The heart is what pumps blood. And that's not in the head.
STORY TIME: So waaaaaaay back in the day when my grandma was a kid they obviously had no television or internet so her only form of entertainment was watching chicken get decapitated than run around while being headless, she wouldn't find this amusing now a days but back then she did.
I suppose it would be awesome watching your dinner running around the henhouse.
Childhood memories of a neighbour come flooding back ಠ_ಠ
I can vouch for that. 5 kids, including 2 sisters, running around squealing and giggling while getting sprayed with blood every time we had a chicken dinner. Feel squeamish about it now but at the time, not at all.
@@catherinebirch2399Hey, Don't know which country you belong,but I assume that you are atleast a human who is most conscious animal on earth...Human is so conscious that he can feel bad after killing...But does he feel bad or not, it totally depend on his natural perception about animals...Yours perspective and mine could be different ,but between these things we don't even consider animals perspective,which is going to be slaughtered...They are same like us...They want affection from us...Only difference is the brain only...Dogs are worldwide pets and everyone loves them..But go to china you will find horrible scenes of killing dogs...You eat meat from your childhood that these things becomes hardwired to your brain to take this as normal...We also have other stuffs to eat ,so we could minimize animal consumption... Please try some more vegetables ,they will not kill you...and if you get some time ,think about it ,, bcoz you are what?? (HUMAN). ...............,P.S ..My English is very bad .A 20 yrs old Indian.
It's actually not uncommon for that to happen since where a chicken's neck and head end and start is less obvious than with a Human; Mike the chicken lived for 6 months after he was beheaded.
The part that freaked me out was when he called out his name and the eyes opened and fixed on the other man's eyes.That would just ruin my day.
That would ruin my year,
@@stroys7061 That would ruin a lot of my nights
W Little It happens when a person gets shot in the head and much of the skull is blown off. You can shout their name and they will respond with movement for a short period. The hardest part is if you know the person. That’s what changes your life forever.

Fun fact, if you were to execute a noble in the middle ages and take more than 3 swings to do it, the penalty was death
I know I have a dark sense of humor because my brain instantly went to a joke of the guy doing the execution getting to the 3rd swing and thinking "don't fuck this up - my neck is on the line here" or that this was where the "three strikes and you are out" rule came from. yeah...I'm going to hell for sure.

Something very similar happened to me
Wow, now Google is listening not only to everything going on in my life via my phone's microphone, but now they're listening to my thoughts as well! It was no more than 3 days ago when I found myself seriously (but silently) pondering how long a brain/mind/person can remain conscious after being severed from the rest of their body.... and then within a couple of short days this video showed up in my recommendations. I didn't do any sort of search to prompt this recommendation on any device, I didn't mention my curiosity to anyone, I didn't have a conversation resembling anything even close to this subject matter... it was a private thought. Another one of life's mysteries...
Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.

I travel to Tudor England. I commit some terrible crime for whatever reason and sentenced to death. A crowd of people walks up to the stand where I am about to live my last moments. The headsman asks me if I have any last words or wishes. I look to him, my head on the block and say with one last breath:
"My ancestors are smiling on me, imperials. Can you say the same?"

I grew up with a guy who, while pretending to play Russian roulette, found out the hard way the gun was in fact loaded in the middle of a party no less. Friends seated at the table said he inhaled sharply as if shocked and got that heart just sunk/OH SHIT look on his face before slumping over. Stuff of nightmares.
And this is why no sane society let's its citizens arm themselves to the teeth. Frankly, most people are far too dumb to be given unfettered access to firearms. Russian roulette during a party? Jeez ...
Not my story but I was reading some comments on Reddit of a similar story. Accept the person that was shot actually survived and was telling the story from her point of view. Long story short she was in a a crazy argument with someone and took a round to the head, all she said she remembered was falling on the ground, and being super confused and indescribably dazed.
darwin award lol
@@rorykeegan1895 Citizens ARE Society. A sane Society arms themselves against tyrannical government. Those too dumb to understand that, shouldn't be given access to firearms.
@@bazerk1572 A sane society doesn't need this shit, 'cause they focus on improving their society instead of just falling back on violent uprisings. That's why the US is pretty much the only first world country that still has firearms handed out like they're toys, and why the US has shootings every single week while most European countries might have one shooting per decade, if even that.
It makes me sad to imagine those moments of terrors and sadness that those people had to feel. And it's unimaginable to think that those moments had to be endured by hundreds of thousands of people (at least). That's a huge amount of terror.
That a person shouted your name twice and made you look....
Oof
Languille at the second time was like "WUT ? CAN'T I JUST GO ?"
Believe me, the only horrifying thing during that short time would not be the pain from the cut but the fear of death and leaving life forever.
I think its more like: "Finally!!!,its over". You have enough time to think about leaving life and being afraid of death while you wait for them to cut your head off.
Most of the prisoners were probably locked in pig like cells for weeks before, starving, getting beat/raped everyday. It was a probably a moment of relief.
It's genuinely impossible to say. Would they have been excited to die? Would they have simply been overcome with every single nerve ending of their body sending signals to their brain all at once? Would they just feel the senses that were still running as the blood rushes into their nose and falls out their brain? Would every single sense just stop functioning so that they're left witb only their thoughts? Honestly - it's probably all of these, in the most overwhelming 30 seconds ever to be experienced.
I think at that point since death is absolutely guaranteed and you can't fight it or stop it that you would be really quick to accept it as you drifted off into its cold embrace...

Holy Guacamole Batman!!! Talk about "painting with words". That physicians journal entry was so visual!! Great Video, Joe.
The cells in the brain will have residual oxygen to respire with for a short while, but I think the drop in blood pressure will have a significant effect on consciousness and therefore lucidity. In other words, you may be conscious, but probably not fully aware. This can be seen in intensive care patients, where their conscious state seems to run in correlation to their arterial blood pressure, visible on a monitor. So it may not be as bad as is first imagined. It's just my opinion based on circumstances I have witnessed, but I hope I'm correct for the sake of the victims. It is a very different set of circumstances, so there may be mechanisms at play which I haven't considered. Great video, very interesting. 😀
I was thinking the same thing. The already perfused brain tissue, nerves and muscles could conceivably maintain consciousness and function for a short time before oxygen is depleted.
Wrong... You lose consciousness before the act is even completed. There is a protective mechanism in all living creatures called; shock. Lies, lies and lies to induce fear, and hinder meaningful protest.
@Orauk
Wrong... ever heard of shock? Maybe look it up?
@Orauk
Wrong watch videos of people losing consciousness on slingshot rides on RUclips. It is not a voluntary thing... This is a biological function that you have no control over. The only reason that some people that ride those things stay conscious, is they don't feel there is any real danger. But when you under a huge blade, there is real danger. The second the blade hits you, the brain starts the process. It is the same reason that when they use local anesthetic, they keep you on monitors during surgery. They need to know when you go into shock because you can loses consciousness and die very rapidly from that shock. Sorry to ruin your fun... but facts matter.
@@g4macdad Mate, those aren't facts, simply your opinion. We cannot prove definitively one way or the other. Sorry to ruin your fun. Facts matter.

I went to a market once and saw a headless chicken running around. That was traumatic in and of itself.
That's awful. How was that legal? Chickens only continue moving around if the decapitation is incomplete, meaning part of their brain is still attached to the body.
@@Niobesnuppathey still move around even when they r fully decapitated trust me i have seen it.
@@Niobesnuppa yep it is very common to see the chicken body run around after decapitation.
I tune into the whitehouse and see the same thing..l
Finally someone answers this question with actual information. I've read things referring to the doctor pestering Languille before without actually quoting the passage.Thanks, Joe. Now I'll be creeped out for the rest of the day.
".. or would it?"

DerSibbe and 2 minutes into the video -
"But are we alone in this universe?"
When you are sleeping and having a dream (which may last only a few seconds) the dream may seem like an eternity. Maybe the headless person spends 30 seconds in this physical world dying but in his/her mind it is a lifetime. How horrible would that be?
all things gumball WOW!... Now that’s deeeep! 🤔
For me it's always been the other way around: My dreams have always been short, feeling like only a minute or so before I suddenly wake up and realize it's morning.
Yea, dreams are short. When i get one, i literally wake up couple of minutes after that and see that it's a morning.
Lazar It depends, sometimes I have really short dreams as well but sometimes my dreams last hours. One time I had a dream that spanned two days
My kids talk in their sleep. I can state from listening to them that single dreams can last several minutes or longer; the longest I ever heard a kid narrate their dream was at least half an hour (with me trying desperately to laugh silently so as to not wake them up). Sadly the video didn't come out properly. But dreams can happen in real time.

I’m in the same boat too. Never once watched a video similar to this. Fascinating is correct tho.
Jon Collins samee
yeah xd
Stop researching how to get away with murder ;)
I recall this story when I was in middle school. Really glad you overviewed this. Sure it’s morbid, but academically stimulating.
Gread vid. Truly cutting-edge.
Oh no you did NOT just go there hahahahaha
Tousche'
Slick. Nice one.
You got a sharp sense of humour there.
He really did have a point in the video.
"this one is gonna be a little...dark"

Your head wouldn’t fall at 9.8 m/s, it’d accelerate at 9.8 m/s^2 , it wouldn’t fall at a constant speed and it’s speed would depend on how far its fallen at any time. Not that important but still thought I’d correct 😁
Erty Berty not to mention he used the wrong units for force 😂
Assuming the head is falling in a vacuum. Otherwise you didn’t account for atmospheric resistance.
Damnit.. I was looking so hard for this comment. Finally i found someone😂
Allison Garippo Oh shit yea he is, didn’t even notice that, should be Newton’s too
Bryan Bell ok fine , fair enough, but it’s close enough, on a head that’d make very little difference, it’s also technically 9.81 if we’re being that accurate
After knowing this it would be savage not to vote for soft pillows under every guillotine.
FWIW, I experienced a cardiac arrest a few years ago. The first sensation I had that something had gone wrong was dizziness, and I passed out within a few seconds. The doctors told me that my heart had probably stopped 30 seconds or so before I felt dizzy, because that's how long it takes for the oxygen levels in the brain to drop enough to lose consciousness. So, I have experienced this shutting down of all the different parts of the brain. My memories did not all play back. In fact I was completely unaware that my heart had stopped. During those 30 seconds, I was talking to my friends and gathering my belongings as we had just gotten out of the ocean, as if everything was normal. Of course, someone being executed would be painfully aware of what is going on, so the experience would be completely different. But I can say from experience that memory playback is not automatic, at least in one instance. And, just in case, no, I would not like to compare the two experiences, thank you.
I think it depends on the length of time one is dead. I also experienced cardiac arrest years back and at first it went exactly as you described. However, it was only some time later that I kind of woke up in what I thought at that moment to be a cinema, because it was dark all around me a part from what I perceived as being a big screen in front of me. It was only as I watched what was obviously my own life and saw me collapsing while on the bus, that I realised that something was not okay with me, though I still did not feel frightened, because I never actually heard of death experiences before, so I still did not comprehend my experiences as something so dramatic. After the life review was over I was in the complete darkness again, but I felt cold, so I began to pull myself together, as if I was pulling myself out of cold and wet clothes, starting with feet and then hands, though I weren't struggling as one would if it was really just the clothing I was coming out from, so it did not take too long before I was out, which was the moment when I suddenly saw the medical stuff above me and heard all the noises of the emergency room. Then came the great force that threw me back into the wet cold darkness. I tried to escape again, but the second powerful blast came and after that I went completely unconscious again. I came to some time later in recovery room, hooked up to all kinds. Took me a while to recover and finally realise (learn) that what I experienced was death.
"JUST MAKE IT STOP MOVING"
WHY AM I LAUGHING
Marie Antoinette's last words were, "I'm sorry, Monsieur. I did not mean to do it."
And people trash Marie Antoinette. 😕 I love her. She was just clueless about how to run a kingdom. It wasn't her idea. She was thrown into it unprepared.
This video pops up in my RUclips feed every once in a while, it isn't my favorite but it still appeals to my morbid curiosity.
OK now I'm curious. What IS your favourite? 🤔
WTF why is this in recommended?
agreed,,, don't you love RUclips, one second it is videos about UV light, then its funny game videos, and finally it is the lovely topic of,,,, How long does a severed head remain conscious.
Just wait and see what comes next, now that you clicked on it :p
Ivan Stupar Your STUPIDDDDD!!! 😂😂🤣🤣
Me too.just finished work ...did have a Chinese to get through .....but nah.....FUCKING THANKS RECOMMENDED.........BUT IM THE FOOL ....WHAT DID I EXPECT.
Same
Okay RUclips. I'll watch it, you know, for possible future use.
Davidci Codex lol
9.8 m/s with joules -_- RIP physics
It's 30 seconds. If you didn't actually want to watch a long video and just wanted the answer
For 10 whole seconds I thought ur profile pic was a hair on my phone screen. I AM CONFUSION
Byte*
Do yourself a favor and watch the entire video though, it was very interesting.
PrankByte we meet again Prank. I almost swiped my phone but i have learned! Muhahaha😎
wtf is your definition of long ??
Reminds me of Exorcist 3 when Brad Dourif said " A Decapitated head cam continue to see for approximately 20 seconds... so when I see one that's cocking... I always hold it up so it can see its body..." it was bone chilling to its core!
This mans videos is the happiest accidental find I’ve had in a few years. Very interesting topics and a broad spectrum of content 👌🏻
Me too! Yay! Wish learning stuff was this fun in school. I'm SURE i would have gone more often if it was FUN...😆😬😅
Imagine your whole life right now is actually just memories going through your brain and right now you're actually dying.
Yooooooooooo, good point. That's a crazy thought!
And it just keeps repeating
When you get to the end of your memories, would you also remember the remembering of your memories?
Yugo we are.. As soon as we are born we are literally dying.
Yugo How does that makes sense
I can't believe someone was executed with a guillotine in 1977 😳
Marylen,
I couldn't believe it either but it's apparently true:
www.wired.com/2007/09/dayintech-0910-2/
1977: France stages its last execution using the guillotine.
A Tunisian immigrant living in Marseilles, Hamida Djandoubi, was executed for the torture-slaying of his girlfriend. He had killed her in revenge, after she reported to authorities that he had tried to force her into prostitution.
Sagres d'Amor,
You shouldn't be so Islamophobic.
It's not so long ago that Christians were up to the same sort of behaviour!!!
Remember the Spanish Inquisition??? I guess not.
The Roman Catholic Church tortured and murdered more people in the Middle Ages than were ever murdered in The Holocaust.
Your name gives me the impression that you may be French???? Maybe Catalan????
Another group of individuals who took torture and murder to a new dimension!
Golden Retriever,
That's the sort of comment I'd expect from a Poodle!!!

jptang1701,
1. What sort of name is that? Strange name for a Poodle!
2. Don't talk shit!
Ive only seen movies of heads dropping into baskets. The ground. Ouch. Figured they were dead before hand. Love your Chanel. Funny and I formative. What a way to go! Wish we all go in our sleep!
i would imagine the executioner said "don't worry about it" to Marie-antoinette in true Good fellas style.
OpinionDay007 "Don't lose your head over it"
She wanted a painless cut and new not to mess with the executioner.
so it was kinda like not pissing off your waiter?
F'get abaaaht it!
I think it is, like mentioned in the video. The last movements of the head, like the eyes, can sometimes be recognised to around 30 seconds. I mention this, because of some historical sources that I have read. I think Joe Scott did a good job with this video. Thanks for sharing!
The reign of terror was 1793-1794, not 1783-1784. The French Revolution didn’t begin until 1789
Oui je confirme
The king in the north knows his shit
I was thinking the same.
TR4R I think I saw you somewhere else too
Surprised no one made a comment about his dad...
There's a large section in a book by the Norwegian writer Jens Bjørneboe called Powderhouse ( Kruttårnet ), that descibes the history and methods of capital punishment in painstaking detail. It's the second part of a trilogy about Europe's generous contribution to death and suffering in the world, called The History of Beastiality. The other two are Moment of Freedom and The Silence. If you liked this video, you're gonna love these books.
Science is getting ahead of itself.
Edit: No pun intended
A HEAD
Unyt I don't get it?
Kelly Robinson the science of decapitation is getting *a head* of itself
Unyt I see what you did there lol
The Real Jesus Yeshua its just a comment dude relax
Most television commercials are 30 seconds long. Coincidence? I think not.

ok doc present your medical evidence you and the other 84 doctors that agreed with you at the time of this post.

I hope you are

Clearly, you're not the only one.
This is interesting because it also seems to speak to how Alzheimer's patients go! They almost all return to dreamlike versions of their childhood, often muddling them up with more contemporary, but significant episodes of their lives! Bizarre? Certainly! Unexpected? Of course!
But in retrospect and how one has dreams, maybe not so much...
I've gone through dementia with my mother, and then full-blown Alzheimer's... She had episodes at 2:00 every afternoon where she had an uncontrollable urge/need to get home to babysit the 'twins'! She went to High School in a Catholic Convent overseas. She never babysat anyone as a teen, but DID have twins as her first kids! She would panic every day at almost precisely at 2:00 in the afternoon, no watch, nothing to make the time, and when she experienced this, she was living in the Caribbean and nowhere close to LA where she actually was!
Before we'd found her this home, we were checking out suitable places in Nor-Cal, and my brother and I went to see the Activity room for the folks. There were wedding dresses for the ladies to do needlework or whatever in prep for their imaginary upcoming marriages!
A tall guy standing next to me, starts talking about our last mission and what a bitch it was! It turns out that he was a Mustang Fighter pilot in WWII and somehow thought I was his wingman or something!!!! Now, I hardly look like a WWII pilot! I look like a guy with a ponytail who rides a Harley!
I just went along with him because... what else are ya gonna do?!? "It was brutal, man and those fucking Krauts were giving us hell!!! I'm glad we got home though"! He shook my hand...!
The mind is a lot stranger, and there are so many aspects about it that there is no AI that can outwit us! That's my belief! AI mat get intent on doing evil to humanity, but it can never match the human mind. IMHO...
Hiya Chris! I'm from tbe Caribbean. Gran used to have similar episodes. She'd wake up in the dead of night, with no idea where she was, asking for her baby Nd saying that she needed her baby. She had 9 children but also lost 1 or 2 i believe via rape and domestic abuse. She'd literally be upin the dark searching her bed and bedroom frantically. Most times we could convince her that she was dreaming or just had forgotten.. strange times
She died in 2020 at 98🙏

I had a dream I got decapitated. I remember the world spinning and being conscious for a bit. Pretty much like you described.
Well I don't believe in past lives but that definitely gives credence either that or you have a pretty dark researching Hobby
i had one too, by train no less. Very lucid and realistic dream.
The pain was regrettable, mostly due to the crushing, but shock set in and it numbed after a few intense seconds, like when you pull your hand away from a burn.
@@dawnjackson6299 Never underestimate the human imagination. We simulate actual experiences in our minds, and sometimes it may be pretty accurate to reality. Some people can even feel pain in their dreams.

I remember watching a doc about an Australian bound 747 passenger jet that blew open while over the Pacific Ocean. They were able to land the plane, but several passengers were sucked out because of the rapid decompression. They believed some may have survived and then fell all the way to the ocean. Almost 40,000 feet for four minutes.
Reminds me of the Challenger accident, because they're fairly certain that the cockpit blew away from the tank explosion (there's footage where they zoom in on it) and at least a few of the astronauts rode it down for almost two minutes. Then they died on impact as they struck the ocean. It's also thought that they have audio of them screaming, but the official NASA statement is that they last words heard from the crew was, "Oh no."
@@MasterJediDude I don't think any space agency would release audio of their astro/taiko/cosmonauts screaming till death
@@iamrightoutsideyourwindowhello yeah, they’d never release it, but I have a sick feeling that it exists. Same with the Columbia.
Lmao that "yeah" after reading was hilarious.
Hahaha I just spit up my drink when we read the report by the doctor, and has that awkward pause then “YEAH” after 😂
Definitely subscribing dude.
He just broke physics in the first 30 seconds.... ACCELERATION due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2; that’s not the speed. Joules are a unit of energy, not force... all that was pretty bad...
Nerd
Ben Wilson you are absolutely correct. I had a defibrillator implant at one time in my teenage years and the energy to jolt me was measured in joules. I caught that myself.
Llama Boi I would advise you to be careful of who you call a nerd “Llama Boi.” Why don’t you go back to second grade to learn real life facts before insulting people.
In my near death experience. I was able to hear and see for a long long time. However, after leaving my body and falling backwards through, the only way I can explain a tunnel. A tunnel with such force that even jumping 360 ft by bungee, didn’t compare. I could still see. I saw from a far a light that was through my eyes on my body. So not sure if senses go first. Just my experience
