Sorry it took so long for a new video! Been dealing with a lot of personal stuff behind the scenes, and as you can probably tell by my voice, I've been sick with the flu. I’m just happy to be back to creating again, and I have lots of new content coming very soon!
What's even sadder about the balloon priest is he was genuinely a good man. He exposed a bunch of human rights violations committed against homeless people by his local government. His exposé led to several arrests
Wow I didn’t know that but I think I’ve heard the story before. Hopefully his good deeds are remembered instead of just being mocked for his stunt. Thanks for the info. RIP father Adelir De Carli ❤
@@GeologicalNerd It’s wild how a person can die from doing a completely dumb and dangerous stunt and people like you will turn their death into a ridiculous conspiracy.
A lesson to learn : If the sky starts storming before you do something dangerous, don't say "God will change the weather to be better for me!" Say "Gods telling me not to do this, let's try again later!"
The idea of not being able to see the ground is terrifying but when you finally see the ground, but it's all ocean as far as you can see? That is one of the worst things I've ever heard.
There are two logical reasons to that. The anchor was probably trying to help maintain an air of calm - he didn't want listeners to panic. That sort of thing has happened, and caused other issues (just look at the War of the Worlds debacle). The second, he may not have been fully processing the danger he himself was in until near the end of the broadcast. Either way, props to him for maintaining his calm in a dangerous situation - not many people could do that.
The announcers during the Bradford fire were so professional it’s kinda incredible. Imagine seeing the fire absolutely engulfing the entire stadium and continuing to let everyone know what’s happening and also yelling instructions to “watch the kiddies,” probably to avoid people crushing them.
At first, it could be mistaken for a metaphor: "The crowd is on fire today. There is a fire in the crowd. There are literal flames. I can see the orange tongues of flame consuming the stands."
Yeah, pretty standard on British TV. It's considered in poor taste to get overemotional during broadcast. Only the professionals though, news readers and the like. TV presenters act like idiots 😠
This is for two reasons: 1) british stiff upper lip, no emotions are allowed to show 2) you can’t create a panic, because if you do it’s going to make a bad situation 1000x worse
I find the balloon story absolutely harrowing. Imagine being in the clouds with no idea where you are not knowing how to use the provided gps, then once you are able to see the ground again, you realize you’re over the damn ocean. Absolutely terrifying…
And then you slowly descend and you know once you hit the ocean surface it's over... And then he drowned. With his voice in my head, it's truly a depressing thing to imagine.

My brother was supposed to be at Valley Parade for the Bradford match that day. But he was really adamant he didn't want to go, which seemed out of the ordinary. My parents and brothers ended up listening to the coverage of the match and subsequently the fire on the radio. It's something that still freaks my mum out to this day.
It's so funny the way Nick tells the story of the balloon priest because here in Brazil everyone recognizes the guy as a legend. I mean, yes, he died and it is tragic, but everyone remembers him for all the good things he did, he was crazy and everyone loves him.
@@RedGunDSLRomans 10:9-11 says, "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved".Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
@@Hazard-studioRomans 10:9-11 says, "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved".😊😊❤?
Nick’s increasing familiarity with Brazilian television is very encouraging. A huge number of foreign dark TV and media moments are never reported by Anglophone youtube, and I’m glad Nick is actually looking
A sad epilogue to Cara Knott's story is her father died of a heart attack while taking care of the memorial garden he had built at the site where her body was dumped by Craig Peyer.
Thats very surprising the guy from the Niagara Falls segment survived. The way you presented it was brilliant, it looked like a tragic “did the unthinkable but failed due to a catch” and had me so anxious but them the 2 rescue workers saved the day and was the biggest sigh of relief.
I remember when it was reported that an elderly couple had died in the Bradford City fire, burnt to death clutching each other whilst still sat in their seats. An absolutely awful tragedy.

i’m a forensics minor and in one of my classes last year we did a case study on the Bradford fire. Our class watched the entirety of the video documenting the fire’s progression, and lemme tell you the sheer _SPEED_ at which the fire intensified is something I will NEVER unsee. I often compare it to the King’s Cross Station fire, which occurred in London 2 years after the Bradford fire and cost 31 people their lives. Ironically, it was found to have been caused by a carelessly-tossed lit match (likely from someone lighting a cigarette) that fell into the escalators and ignited the wooden materials, further fed by the flammable debris underneath. I guess what I’m trying to say is that it really highlighted just how avoidable both this disaster and the King’s Cross fire were, but also how many lives have been saved since then following the enactment of stricter building protocols.
I've seen that footage too and you really can't unsee how fast it spread. Even seeing pictures from that day there's people smiling with the chaos behind them because it was spreading so fast they couldn't react.
I gave up smoking but stories like this are why I stomp my embers out. Even flicking some ash can start a fire, I’ve been smoking and seen smoke coming up from the ground because a small ember hit the carpet or something.
@@BoldActionSkitty that old Australian one where the lady puts her ash tray on the arm of her recliner while the Bradford Stadium disaster plays on the TV in front of her? Or a different one?
The absolute audacity of Officer Peyer. It's no surprise to hear of a police officer abusing his power, but it's another beast entirely to insert yourself back into the horrible situation YOU created like he did. I'm sure he enjoyed the attention and totally thought he'd get away with it. Psycho.
Agreed. It is also extremely terrifying that cops are who u go to for help in that situation yet he's the one who caused it. Even if not broken down, if u are being pulled over, u have to pull over n yet it cost her her life! That is so scary!
@@obeseperson Why do you think so many people join gangs? In many places they're safer and easier to trust than the police. And they don't even have to propagandize to recruit as the cops' own interactions with civilians creates the propaganda for them.
There were red flags but his position always negated suspicion. In the months before his crimes, he actually told several of his fellow officers, that THIS is where he’d dispose of a body if he had to. His ticket book contained the most write-ups, leading to his nickname: the hot pencil. But among all those tickets there were virtually NO male motorists. And none in took place in daylight hours. Wasted shield.
The bridge where Cara Knott lost her life is now abandoned and the Cara Knott Memorial Garden was established just below it as a memorial for her and the many homicide victims of San Diego. Her grieving father, Sam Knott, was the mind behind the garden. He turned a place where tragedy occurred to a place where his family and others can come together and pay tribute to their loved ones who were murdered. Sam planted acorn saplings that were from their backyard to the garden, dedicating them to his deceased daughter. It is said that those acorn trees continue to grow throughout the county to this day. May he and Cara rest in peace.
I just wonder what the hell was going through his head. You're a police officer, you literally say in the video that when you need help to call the police. You KNOW that you are the one who is supposed to protect the people around you. It's not like you were forced into it either, you CHOSE this job. Yet you pull something like this? Wow...what a monster.
Its also crazy how disrespectful the news coverage was. "Up, up, and away!" Like damn of he'd succeeded i could ubderstand that lone but he was lost, wtf

As soon as I heard Nick mention the locked gates and turnstiles during the Bradford Fire segment, my heart just sank and simultaneously broke for the victims of the fire. Crowd crushes utterly horrify me in a way that hardly anything else manages to anymore. They're one of my absolute worst fears.
Same. To the point I am wary of even attending places that will be packed and if I do I research exits and floor plans beforehand. The station nightclub fire haunts me to this day.
@higglybiggly1174 i feel the very same way. I don't go to crowded places much anymore and I always stay near an exit that I know is functional. That footage will haunt me forever. The only good thing that came out of how horrific it was is how much better fire safety requirements are.
Why does it seem like the UK in particular have a history of infamous crowd crushing events? It seems like most of the stories I’ve heard of then come from there.
@@youthoughtaboutit6946Notoriously poor safety standards in UK stadiums. Too many tickets were often sold for big matches, causing overcrowded stands in poorly built stadiums, guarded by too few and untrained stewards and police officers. The fans back then were also often drunk or drugged up. Safety standards improved a lot after the Hillsborough and Heysel disasters and luckily there haven’t been big disasters like those since.
As they say, regulations are written in blood. If you think a rule or policy is "stupid" or "farfetched", you obviously don't know the history behind it.
@@thecaptainsnark fun fact, that law actually used to have a reason! See, back in the day, when everyone used horses and cars didn't exist, horse thieves used to use ice cream in their back pockets to lure horses away without being charged for stealing. It gave them the excuse of "the horse just started following me, I wasn't stealing it" that law was put in place so that excuse could no longer work. So yeah! Even the stupidest sounding rules had some reason to them at the time they were implemented!
@@thecaptainsnarkSounds like the security guy that didn't let people out the back exit during The Station fire. People died because they got stuck all trying to go through one exit but security was more concerned about how it's for the band only than the fire smh
The first Niagara Falls story is so bittersweet. This man felt so hopeless, and he was giving up, then changed his mind yet got stuck, which I can imagine in that moment made him feel even more hopeless, which even reflects in him telling the rescuers to give up. But these people all came together and rescued him nonetheless. I just find that so powerful. Humankind is deeply connected in a way that we sometimes don’t see until everything else we’re focused on is stripped away
There's a documentary that's too painful for me to watch about the small handful of people who survived jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge. They all said that as they were falling, they regretted their decision and realized that they didn't actually want to die, they just wanted something to change in their life. That's often the case with suicidal people. The fear of death is so deeply ingrained into our psyche that most of us, no matter how depressed we are, truly do want to live. I used to struggle with suicidal ideation, so this is something I keep reminding myself to keep the thoughts from returning. And so far, it works.
@@onionbubs386 After watching this, I re-listened to the poem "The View from Halfway down" from Bojack Horseman which was inspired by those same survivor stories. The weak breeze whispers nothing The water screams sublime His feet shift, teeter-totter Deep breath, stand back, it’s time Toes untouch the overpass Soon he’s water bound Eyes locked shut but peek to see The view from halfway down A little wind, a summer sun A river rich and regal A flood of fond endorphins Brings a calm that knows no equal You’re flying now You see things much more clear than from the ground It’s all okay, it would be Were you not now halfway down Thrash to break from gravity What now could slow the drop All I’d give for toes to touch The safety back at top But this is it, the deed is done Silence drowns the sound Before I leaped I should’ve seen The view from halfway down
There's a RUclips channel you might like called Scary Interesting. He mostly recounts caving and cave diving disaster stories, and many stories have people coming together to rescue someone like in this story. Not all the stories there end as well as this one, but even so you see people trying their hardest to save another person.
Its more unbelievable than an action scene in a movie, this guy was about to go away but ended up being the main character in one of the coolest moments captured on camera.
I had to pause the video and read some comments because I was freaking out thinking he was going to fall over and die. I'm so glad he made it out, its situations like this that make you realize you dont want to die, you just want the pain to stop. I hope he is well.
I'm Brazilian and I follow the channel regularly. I think Nicky has a lot of talent for telling stories and always brings very convenient data to help us understand the facts. I keep thinking about many absurd stories that were televised here in Brazil that would make great videos for the channel, like "Latininho no Domingão do Faustão", the baby who died live on the program "O Povo na TV", the soap opera starring Daniela Perez, "De Corpo e Alma" among other shocking events.
that shot of the man on the edge of niagara falls just standing there and looking back toward the camera chilled me to the bone. i am so glad he survived and i hope he is doing well
Addiction is such a horrible thing, I hope he got help for it and managed to reconcile with the people he lost because of it. Him deciding to end it just to be saved by many lucky coincidences and the rescuers risking their own lives to save him must've made an impression on him.
One of the most haunting images from the Bradford fire was when the cameras caught someone walking out of the inferno. They were completely on fire. Police and spectators got to him almost immediately to put the fire out, but he died in hospital later that day. Some of those trapped in the upper stands chose to try and get through the inferno to get to the pitch. AFAIK, very few of those made it out alive. Even police were coming out of the stands with hair or coats on fire. Hooligans were on the pitch chanting team songs and cheering on the flames while people were burning alive behind them. It was utter bedlam. After that the commentator said, "This... is human tragedy." And it was. He'd gone from documenting a joyous occasion - a league trophy hoisting with his home team for the first time in 80 years - to a total disaster.
I have watched videos on rotten and theync, but nothing has gotten to me as much as seeing that guy walk out on fire.and one from The Station nightclub fire. He walked out of the club calmly just like the one you mentioned. If you have never seen the"Mike Vargas" story from The Station fire, look it up. He survived inside the club and it is an incredible story.
I'm from Bradford, Undercliffe to be specific, grew up here and I still live in Bradford currently (not undercliffe which is BD2 anymore) but my grandad, who also grew up in Bradford and was a die hard Bradford City fan (he traveled everywhere with the team back in the 1970's/1980's) he was actually supposed to be at this game because the stadium was walking distance from where he lived with my Nana at the time. The literal only reason he wasn't there in the stands that day was because he got too drunk in a pub and fell asleep at the bar. A girl at my primary school tho however, her dad was there that day and I remember she brought (with her dad's permission) the same Bradford City FC shirt he wore to that game tha they kept and never washed as it was put in a frame, I remember it still having stains on it and what not if I remember correctly although this is alot of years back now.
I feel bad for Balloon Priest. He threw caution and common sense to the winds (quite literally) for a cause he thought was worthy, and it ended with not only his death but also with his congregation being left without their leader. A dumb decision to be sure, but he really did think he was doing something good.
I don’t feel bad for him at all. He could have fed and clothed the local poor people in his own town and community and shown non believers his religion. Instead he chose hubris and vanity and wanted to turn himself into a spectacle because he wanted attention. Well, he got worldwide attention, and I hope it was worth it.
I'm so glad that man survived his attempt! The rescue crew worked so and so efficiently, and it was clear this guy really wanted to live; I can't imagine being half submerged in fast, freezing water for over an hour and having any strength left at all. Most people who survive these split second decisions regret them and never try again, so I hope he got help for his gambling problem and turned his life around. As soon as you said they were bringing a helicopter in to try for air rescue, I assumed they would be approaching from the cliff side of the falls specifically because of the draft from the rotor. It's wild to me that they tried the approach from the river side, but you can see they were trying to come up alongside so he wasn't buffeted too badly. I can only assume they picked that approach because he would have been backwards and couldn't watch for when the harness/rope if they came from the cliff side, or maybe the spray off the falls would have made it difficult to operate; helicopters are pretty finicky machines, so they can only really work in specific conditions.
The more time it takes a person to find a method, the less likely they are to hurt themselves, so a casino located a few minutes walk from a huge waterfall seems a bit unwise. Like you said, many people who attempt to take their lives regret it instantly, so having such an fatal option so close has probably robbed people of an opportunity to keep living & turn their lives around.
He was selfish to risk the rescuers life like that. What if one of them had died trying to save him!! He should have just done it if he was going to put himself in that situation. Not half do it and then spend tens of thousands of tax payer dollars and a bunch of time and risked the lives of emergency workers @@jaynestrange
@@jaynestrange Big agree about method and location, casinos love tourists though, so my guess is that there's a bunch close to such a huge destination landmark. I wish casinos could cut people off who start losing too much, the same way a bar can stop serving you if they think you're too drunk. It doesn't stop them from going to another casino, but it might help them think twice. Of course, that's not the MO of a casino, and it'd be near impossible to implement, but a girl can dream.
The radio broadcast of that football match was chilling. The way that in a minute the speaker goes from commenting somewhat calmly about the fire to panic is just haunting and gives such a good indication of how quickly that fire grew. Hearing that panic in his voice made me feel so uneasy and panicked. So eerie
There’s a full video available I watched it on RUclips and I wouldn’t recommend watching it, I’m from Bradford and there’s a remembrance every year the stadium now is much better condition I’ve been there a few times
One thing I appreciate about Nick's videos is that he covers stories from all over the world, most of which we've never heard of before, especially if there's a language barrier as is so often the case.

4:14 i like that his first reaction to the order to get everyone in the pitch was advice. "Don't push or shove! Don't forget the kiddies." As there's fire feet away.
I've lived in Bradford my whole life, still do and the Bradford City fire disaster is still remembered and talked about to this day, there's a remembrance plaque in the centre of the city with all the victims names on it. Some of the worst footage, all of it screened live on TV at the time, is horrific, there's footage of a man walking out of the stand after about 2 minutes and he's completely engulfed in flames, people rushed to help and a police officer threw his jacket over him and jumped on top of him to try and put out the flames, he got badly burned trying to help the guy but it was for nothing as he sadly died. The raw footage of the whole event is heart breaking to watch, it's one of the most horrific live TV events I've ever seen, it's surprising that outside of West Yorkshire, it's so rarely ever talked about. As fate would have it, I was supposed to go to the game but because I was naughty that week, my step dad grounded me and refused to take me. Funny how some things turn out.
@@dddddddddddddddadddddddddddddd I suppose it depends on your age, if you're over 40 there's no way you won't remember this, it was massive worldwide news at the time but it just seems to have been kind of forgotten about outside of Bradford, strange considering how big a disaster this was. I was in Florida about 12 years ago and when I mentioned I was from Bradford on a few occasions, I was asked, 'Oh the place with the riots?' which shocked me that in the USA, more people know Bradford for the Muslim riots that the Bradford City fire disaster, it shocked me, it's quite sad considering how many people lost thier lives in the fire.
Yes it was awful. I remember watching the match on the telly as an 11 year old lad. I don't remember the man on fires name but I remember he was a retired mill worker. Really sad. I'll remember it forever. I'm from Stockport so not too far away. Cheers mate 🤘🏻🏴
@@sisseholm4869 That's a sign of large amounts of police corruption. It's like saying your country doesn't have propaganda, it means your country is really successful with its propaganda.
I remember when that guy stood on the edge of the falls. I was a kid at the time and even now as an adult the footage is so surreal. I don’t even understand how he tolerated the water at those temperatures.
This was a great video. I had not heard any of these stories before, and RUclips being 80% of what I watch, it isn't very often that I come across something completely new. I learned about 4 stories, in one video that are completely new to me. Fantastic content.
Ture the whole situation kind of sounds like a anti-smoking PSA in a weird way like if this guy wasn't addicted to smoking the fire wouldn't happen and killed a bunch of people but the situation did make soccer fields more structure so maybe there was a slightly good ending
Unless he was a hooligan, in which case, mass murder was likely the intention. Football hooligan firms in Europe in the eighties used to be what the smack cartels in South America are today.
@@flytrapJester Who said he was "addicted to smoking"? Some people only smoke when they drink; others have a cigarette once every blue moon. And if they didn't have a bunch of stacked-up garbage under the stands, that probably never would have even occurred.
@@DistractedGlobeGuy I don't think he had any idea of the status underneath the bleachers. And if they thought anything intentional/criminal of it, I'm sure he would have been charged.
@@loveforeignaccents "not a crime" doesn't equate to "not a gravely irresponsible decision that directly brought about the deaths of innocent people". _If_ he wasn't an arsonist hooligan, then he likely _did_ feel guilt over his _actions_ that day, and he wouldn't be at all _unjustified_ in feeling that way. Your actions have consequences, whether they can be prosecuted or not-whether you act alone, or in concert with other parties that also bear responsibility and guilt. That's the thing about guilt-it doesn't "divide" when multiple different parties are at fault for a disaster, it _multiplies._ There is _always_ enough to go around.
Man, the balloon priest one is very heartbreaking imo This guy wanted funding for his dream only for his naivety and drive to be his downfall, I can’t imagine how much fear he was in when everything went wrong And what does he get for his death? “Up up and away” from some prick
Those 2 rescue workers and everyone else doing their best to help the man at Niagra Falls are badasses. They should be commended for saving his life. I hope that man is doing better in his life now.

I love seeing Nick in the sponsors, it makes me feel so like comforted like “there’s a human behind this who is probably just as scared as me” so thanks for making that like a thing really apart of your videos now
No he didn't. Do you have any idea how much money it costs to fill all those balloons with helium? We're talking high five figures, easily. That money could have been spent helping his congregation, but he wanted the glory. Also, he didn't bother to figure out how to use his GPS until after he was in the air? Really?
@@WobblesandBean Maybe the balloons and helium were donated (as a form of advertisement for the company.) And hence the first part of my comment, him not being too bright, in regards to your statement about the GPS.
You're hands down one of the best channels thta covers dark media. The production is amazing and its not overstimulating to watch. Ive been watching your videos for years and seeing you get the deserved recognition makes me so happy for you !! Keep doing you dude and take care of yourself ❤
Yes he is fantastic. If your into this sort of stuff try lazy masquerade, cadaver, shrouded hand, dire trip, disturbian, tradegy tales. And that just some of what I watch lol think I may be abit addicted
I swear he usually does an introduction before he gets into the sponsors then he starts covering the stories. It is pretty bad pacing to do it where you talk about one thing then do a sponsorship.
@@ArtChannel80 He isn't wrong you know. Thats what all the "crime" channels on youtube do. Even if its not their intention, they are profiting off the death and misery of other people. They only receive that money because someone died. In the case of murders, how many of these youtubers do you think donate money from the video to the victims families? Zero. \ Try putting a few seconds of thought into the subject and maybe you can come up with a better snarky response.
If there's something even sadder about the balloon priest is that people mock him without acknowledging his motives. The song "balada louca" is an example of it
@@adamakapuppy8921For Roman Catholics we need a place to practice. We believe in sacraments which though conducted by priest, are a gift given by God. So having a chapel where a priest could offer mass or confession is not just a vanity project.

i really love how your videos get straight to the point. so many horror/"dark" youtubers nowadays spend half the video yapping and making weird skits that have nothing to do with the actual content (cough cough nexpo cough cough). it makes me want to click off the video so bad every time. please never change this format, this is one of the only channels i can still watch that hasnt done this!!
Man, I binge watched your first three darkest TV moments videos, and then you release a fourth one. The edition and the way you describe things give me chills. Thanks, man, I haven't been this engaged with a channel in a lot of time.
I'm from Bradford! It was pretty surprising to see my home featured on the channel. The stadium fire is a big deal for the people here, it lives in many of our people's memories. People lost loved ones and a time of enjoyment turned quickly into the worst day for many. People take football very seriously in England, and definitely in Bradford. It's a huge tragedy that we will always remember. Just want to say big ups to the Bantams, I don't care too much for football myself but our town deserves some recognition. Thanks for featuring us.
I'm a Leeds fan myself so i hate the Bantams lol I'd never disrespect what happened or those affected by the tragedy though, it was awful and you're bang on when you say it still affects people in Bradford to this day.
I work security at football matches and we're shown the Bradford disaster in our training, before I started my job I was so scared of working at football matches because of it and also the Hillsborough tragedy but now there's extra precautions and safety techniques in the stadiums.
My family and I used to go to Niagara falls every summer and it's chilling how many times we saw security or police have to hold people back from climbing the barriers. Thank you for sharing the case with the survivor, even as terrifying as it is.
I live about 25 minutes from Niagara Falls & have been there many times. Yet I've never once seen any police having to "hold people back" from jumping over the guardrails & leaping to their death. So yeah, I'm calling bullshit on your comment 😂
@@SugarTits716 This was between 1996-2003 and I don't know if they were intending to jump or get a better view or what, I just know people didn't take the safety measures too seriously.

@@jasonvargas7564 My brother in Christ, can we please stay civil enough not to assume someone was "arrogant" when there was absolutely nothing that would imply such a thing?
the fact that all it took was the span of 3 minutes for that fire to grow as big as it did just goes to show how much more dangerous fire could be under the right conditions to make it grow. it's honestly horrifying.
Yes, I was just thinking the same. I was a teenager during both of these incidents and they really impacted on me.. I still recall the front pages of the Sun and those poor girls... And the bitter legal disputes afterwards...

I went to Niagara Falls on a Monday evening in late November of 2015. I got there about 5:15, and was at first disappointed to find the parking lots empty, leading me to think it was closed. The guy in the parking booth just waved me through to the empty lot, assuring me it was ok to park however I wanted so I could get out. (I was towing an empty 30 foot boat trailer.) I park across a row of spaces and get out and he approaches and tells me "dude, just go in. Enjoy the view. You got about 2 and a half hours." I walked in, took the quick stroll through one of the gardens, and found my way to the observation deck. And I would have been completely alone up there, if there hadnt been a younger couple smooching on the deck. I was lucky enough to hit one of the biggest tourist attractions in America, and have it all to myself. No masses. No tourists. No kids. And 100% free
If I ever go to America I would never stay on the laid out path. Like aren't you allowed to enjoy the actual nature? Like seriously. Humans are nature. There is no restrictions on going wherever. You never see a rat or bird being shooed away just by existing and drinking in nature.... How extremely sad to have to be at specific places on the ground. It's an actual dystopia if that is the case! Like no one can actually own the earth. They will die one day, and who "owns" it then????
The insane part about this story to me is that it happened on a Monday evening. A work day evening. You're incredibly lucky to have had those circumstances on that day. I've been able to enjoy the Falls free of charge with zero crowd on two separate occasions. Both of them were on a weekend, and pretty much right after sunrise. The booth at the Skylon Tower parking lot wouldn't be open until 9 am, so parking was free there on both occasions. Not sure if that's still the case now though cuz the last time I did this was in 2021. Edit: I should add, this is all on the Canadian side. Not sure if the same would ring true for the American side. Our side is one of the most heinous tourist traps in the country, so it was a huge deal to me that I could get free parking before everything opened up. The Falls parking lot uses machines instead of people now so there's no way to get free parking there lol.
@@fudgerounds91 funny you say that. I was doing this shipping and hauling gig, picking up cargo and driving it from one Destination to another. Did a lot of boats and RVs being shipped after online sales, some manufacturer to customer delivering, and "snow bird" moving up and down the east coast. I started doing it at 31, having never been west of Alberquerqe, north of OKC, or east of Texarkana. About a week into my first road trip, I decided that I should collect trinkets. Not uncommon, as people collect trinkets like magnets, seashells/rocks, stickers, or other marketed to tourist junk to commemorate their travels..... I chose lottery scratch tickets, as well as the commonly collected refrigerator magnet shaped like the state. I'd grab 5 bucks worth of scratchers in every state that offered them.
The most sad thing I have ever seen on German tv, was of a homeless old man, sitting on a bridge with his dog. Then he threw his beloved dog down and then he jumped right after his dog. This image makes me cry up to today, even if it was 30 years ago. 😢
Coward threw his dog first . Typical homeless person. This is coming from a former homeless person so I don’t want to hear it . Most of them are on the streets for a reason and I know this first hand . So liberals , save it . That family that lost their job rarely exists . Most are a holes and drug addicts or drunks . Mean people , scam you for a dollar . I’ve been there and it’s the truth
This may seem like an odd choice, but i think the South Park episode "The Return of Chef" might be good to cover on this series. On the surface it might seem like a sending off episode for a character who's actor quit, but behind the scenes there was a man who had a stroke, got brainwashed by a cult and ended up dead because of their treatment of him.
There are so so many horror stories from the Bradford City fire, the one that gets me every time is Paul Hudson, our local weather guy (or meteorologist) said on a documentary that there was an old man who was waiting for his change from a cup of tea while the fire was happening, people were telling him to leave, there was a fire, and it was getting closer but the old man would not leave until he got his change from his cup of tea. That gets me every time. This was also the year after the Oxford Circus Tube fire and two years before Kings cross. I've read Martin Fletcher's book and that has left me with a lot more questions, I've read the abstract of the Popplewell report and can't help wondering if he was the correct pick to chair the inquiry, I'm comparing it to the Cullen and Hidden reports and the Taylor report, and feel that Popplewell's report, doesn't live up to the standard set by the other reports however, a view shared by Martin Fletcher, a survivor of both Bradford City and Hillsborough disasters EDIT: There was a lot of good that came out of the disaster, though to put it into context the 70s/80s in the UK had a lot of issues with football hooliganism and the police worked matches in a certain way (see Hilsborough as well and everything surrounding that), however as told by a retired officer I know, once the severity of the disaster was realized, which did not take long, the police helped in any way they could but it affected everyone in various ways
Oh i never knew there was a gentleman waiting... we've had a lot of haunting events happen at several of our football stadiums, like at Hillsborough... not a fire but still just frightening the stories that came out from it...
Hillsborough is its own rabbit hole, and knowing what has come out in the 30+ years since makes it all the more tragic and sickening. When Kelvin McKenzie was quoted by the BBC during the whole Huw Edwards story last year I was sat there thinking you absolute bastard, you have no right to speak on how the press should behave given all he's done while in charge of the Sun, and all the controversies he was a part of then he sits there and chirps on about press should do this and this and that, and yet he's not exactly got a clean past, even before Hillsborough he was in hot water over his treatment of the sinking of the ARA General Belgrano during the Falklans War and how the Sun treated the attack
It's hard to feel bad for someone choosing a couple coins over getting away from a fire. If he wasn't a survivor that means his loved ones had to bury his burnt body over a fucking cup of tea. Absurd.
If he had done research he would have known that in England there is no such thing as soccer. Maybe its a bit petty but it annoys me when Americans call our game soccer instead of football. We actually use our feet to play the game.
@Sundaydish1 yea I know, but if the demographic of his videos are watched my Americans, I guess it helps with them understanding what sport he's talking about. I'm sure he knows the majority of the world refers to it as football though
@@Sundaydish1 He also referred to the emergency number as 911 in a past video about something that happened in England, so go figure. Nick definitely puts a ton of effort into his videos, but his research and/or script decisions are far from perfect.
This was a really good video. Very in depth and very clear narrating without talking to much with music in the background. Especially having actual video footage of everything. Very well done, now i have to watch the first 3 im hooked. You gained a new subscriber.
It just dawned on me, they have Casino's on both sides of Niagra Falls ,isn't that dangerous in its self, lose your life savings and you have the perfect suicide spot at your finger tips. Nice save on that guy, I wonder how many do it that we do not hear about ?
Im really glad to see someone cover the bradford fire. As a British person, this is such a dark event that really scarred football. There are a couple events like that in the uk sport scene which i wish made more of an impact on how badly we maintain our facilities. Its great more attention is being brought to it.
This is awesome, I am going to watch this on my birthday tomorrow! You're probably the only youtuber that I have consistently watched videos from for the last 2 years, I really appreciate your content :)
(This is a long comment) 7:57 The person you showed was of a very famous man named Karl Wallenda who exceeded in the ability to balance himself on extremely thin ropes while holding long poles. And Karl Was filmed on live tv doing the daredevil stunt. But then suddenly he started losing his balance. And he started shaking and crouched down. After realizing he was about to fall, he couldn’t do anything and could only think about this for 3 seconds before he fell off the rope on live tv. The camera didn’t show him hitting the floor but instead it showed 100 people flocking to where he fell in a desperate act to save him. Sadly, he passed away due to the fall. It was extremely shocking. Infact, you should put it in the next one.
My sisters car broke down in the middle of the night 2 months ago. They pulled over with their hazards on and still got hit. Her boyfriend died on impact and after her heart stopped twice she was miraculously brought back and has been healing since. Stay safe out there everyone! ❤
I'm from Bradford, West Yorkshire and you occasionally see things about the Bradford 56 to this day and it really shows the solidarity us folk in Yorkshire have as almost everyone knows about this traedy.
For the Cara Knott story - native San Diegan, we have a memorial highway here named after her, rest in peace. Never knew about the cop doing the PSA later, what a trip! Absolute bastard
16:18 SoCal native here: After years I was waiting for someone to finally make a video about Cara. More facts and extras after that case: That little turnout leading to the bridge (now closed) is a popular spot for Skating, Smoking, Photoshoots for cars, etc. Cara’s father had a stroke in that same area and ended up passing away. (Tragic coincidence) The turnout was later named “Cara Way” in her memory and there is a small memorial for the both of them towards the bottom of the trail. One of my close friends was doing a photoshoot around 3am on that bridge that Cara was thrown from. He had not known anything about Cara’s murder prior. He mentioned he felt very very bad vibes that he hadn’t felt before. I told him about the case the morning after
The worst part of the Bradford Fire's victims being crushed by locked gates is that *the exact same thing would happen again* in the Hillsborough Stadium four years later, also in Yorkshire. Hillsborough's disaster however was not because of a fire, but through incompetence of the police and unlike the Bradford Fire, had a much stronger public response to both the structure of UK football stadiums, and the classist treatment of working-class people in newspaper coverage. Appreciate this series a lot for showing the fascinating- but-morbid relationship between crime and entertainment in today's world. Also really glad there's at least one story in here with a happy ending regarding the First "Man On the Edge", just to give a spark of hope in the midst of darkness.
Oh come off it. “Flirting with someone” doesn’t mean both people are flirting. Have you never heard the phrases “flirted with death” or “flirted with the idea”? Your Twitter ragebait bs has no place here.
there was a Dutch Consumer Safety Institution PSA from 1999 about the Bradford fire. It shows in real time the spreading of the fire and a lit cigarette beside it. I remember watching this PSA a while back not knowing the actual tragedy it shows. On a related note, I think you should cover PSAs like this. The ones that have a huge impact, dark backstories, disturbing content, maybe even lost media. There's something so captivating about disturbing PSAs. I feel like you can dig up some really great material as always.
There was another PSA from that company which was named, believe it or not, "Funniest Home Video", it involved real home footage of kids getting injured via falling, *complete with their crying sounds being heard* I still don't get why people usually rank it very low in "scary PSA" lists, I remember being ABSOLUTELY PETRIFIED when I first watched it, to the point I couldn't sleep well that night, heck, not even Japan's "Kitchen Mother" PSA traumatized me as much as that one...
@@donaldduck1782 I think I remember seeing that one in some of the compilations on youtube. PSAs with such simple premises usually do the best, honestly.
Suggestion for part 5. In the early 19's and the late 80's Dale Earnhardt Sr was at one of the best NASCAR drivers in the sport winning 7 titles over that span. Towards the end of his career he had the opportunity to race against his son Dale Earnhardt Jr who at that time was just starting his NASCAR Winston Cup career and Dale was still winning races. In 2000 he won at Talladega Superspeedway with a great rally from 15th to 1st in a few laps. Everyone was shocked with this rally and they cheered so loud for Dale. But what they didn't know was that they witnessed his last ever win of his brilliant career... Now it's 2001 and Dale was going into another Daytona 500. And he won this race a few years prior in 1998 with 20 years of trying. And he was racing alongside Dale Jr and his team driver Michael Waltrip. Over the race Dale was making very very aggressive moves all day and with a few laps to go Dale's team were 1,2 and in 3rd was Dale Sr and coming down the backstretch for the final time in the race Waltrip was leading with Dale Jr right behind him... but in 3rd Dale Sr was racing very aggressive and blocking all the way down the backstretch. In the booth Michael's brother Darrell Waltrip was hoping Michael would get his first career win and everything was going well... Until they went into turn 3 Dale Sr got turned by Ken Schrader into the wall very hard. But no one noticed it at first in the booth and they were racing back to the line and everyone was all happy. But Darrell Waltrip said "I hope Dale's alright that was a hard hit." After the race Ken Schrader went over to Sr's car and he was calling for the paramedics in a panic and then. Things took a dark turn... Paramedics took Dale to a hospital in a ambulance to while Michael Waltrip is celebrating his win in Daytona Victory Lane and he is told by someone in the garage about Dale and him and Jr rushed to the hospital to check on Dale but there was nothing they could do to save Dale Earhardt... He was pronounced dead the next day and the president of NASCAR made a speech confirming his death. A day that was suppose to be full of joy and happiness was turned to sadness in a span of a few minutes and all of it was broadcasted live on TV.
My family were huge Earnhardt Sr fans growing up and I remember coming home from school the day he died to my mom bawling. She still has memorabilia of him
Truly Im so glad he survived though he was in such a bad spot in life as well. Not many get the chance to be saved, truly blessed not to mention the HEROES of the rescues who put themselves at risk determined to save him even when he gave up. Must’ve been terrifying
If I could make a suggestion for a future entry in this "Darkest Moments In TV History" series: there's an episode of the Jenny Jones show where a man openly admitted to having a crush on his male neighbor. And sometime after that episode was filmed, said neighbor killed the guy who said he had a crush on him. I've seen a few places talk about that, but WOW was that a wild moment.
@@heymistercarter. No clue, I saw it a while back and I remember he did the weird glitches like he does in all his videos and Jenny’s teeth and blonde hair turned red green with static. Thought it was creepy.
I feel like an asshole for being angry at that priest.. I mean, nobody thought to just ask "have you used a GPS before? No? Let me show you.." 1‐3 minute lesson would have saved him, so stupid it makes me angry..
It's not anyones fault other than him though, he should have been the one to go "hmm, I've never used a GPS before, I wonder how it works.."! But for nobody around to think it's year 2008, GPS was not that common device back then and here is around 60‐year old priest (as older people are known for being so tech‐savvy), maybe make sure he knows his way around those devices? But of course everyone just assumed he knew, which tells me there were nobody professional in charge of safety
I’m from Yorkshire and I can’t believe I’ve never heard of the Bradford Fire. I think it gets overshadowed by another soccer incident, the Hillsborough crush, idk if you’ve ever covered it. This happened in the area I live in, so probably why we focussed on that at school. It’s such a tragedy when a lack of care from the higher-ups leads to lives cut short. Brilliant video as usual! You’re one of the few respectful “dark media” RUclipsrs I know.

If the sky starts storming before you do something dangerous, don't say "God will change the weather to be better for me!"
Say "Gods telling me not to do this, let's try again later!"
The idea of not being able to see the ground is terrifying but when you finally see the ground, but it's all ocean as far as you can see? That is one of the worst things I've ever heard.

It would have been no problem if his GPS worked. Check your survival gear before every trip where you might need it
there’s something darkly comedic about the radio guy commentating the fire without changing his cadence or tone just like it was part of the game
So professional.
That's cos he's a fuck pro.
That's cos he's a pro
There are two logical reasons to that. The anchor was probably trying to help maintain an air of calm - he didn't want listeners to panic. That sort of thing has happened, and caused other issues (just look at the War of the Worlds debacle). The second, he may not have been fully processing the danger he himself was in until near the end of the broadcast. Either way, props to him for maintaining his calm in a dangerous situation - not many people could do that.
Not to mention that a number is the fans we're still clapping and chanting
The announcers during the Bradford fire were so professional it’s kinda incredible. Imagine seeing the fire absolutely engulfing the entire stadium and continuing to let everyone know what’s happening and also yelling instructions to “watch the kiddies,” probably to avoid people crushing them.
At first, it could be mistaken for a metaphor: "The crowd is on fire today. There is a fire in the crowd. There are literal flames. I can see the orange tongues of flame consuming the stands."
I would've just cried
Yeah, pretty standard on British TV. It's considered in poor taste to get overemotional during broadcast. Only the professionals though, news readers and the like. TV presenters act like idiots 😠
This is for two reasons:
1) british stiff upper lip, no emotions are allowed to show
2) you can’t create a panic, because if you do it’s going to make a bad situation 1000x worse
Stay away from lighters then if you cry everytime you see fire little bro@@PinnePon
I find the balloon story absolutely harrowing. Imagine being in the clouds with no idea where you are not knowing how to use the provided gps, then once you are able to see the ground again, you realize you’re over the damn ocean. Absolutely terrifying…
I cannot imagine being that stupid.
God wasnt with the priest at all that day my stomach dropped just watching him float into the clouds
And then you slowly descend and you know once you hit the ocean surface it's over... And then he drowned. With his voice in my head, it's truly a depressing thing to imagine.
So strange how he could miss something like that, you could hear how terrified he sounded.
@@anti-liberal7167as they say,you cant expect God to do everything, sometimes your own stupidity is not even worth the effort to be helped, nothing against the guy nor religion in general,but there's no one or anything else to to blame but himself, still rest in peace padre do balão.
My brother was supposed to be at Valley Parade for the Bradford match that day. But he was really adamant he didn't want to go, which seemed out of the ordinary. My parents and brothers ended up listening to the coverage of the match and subsequently the fire on the radio. It's something that still freaks my mum out to this day.

@@S0REN_what do you mean that's based
I choked on my own tongue hearing that
i’m a forensics minor and in one of my classes last year we did a case study on the Bradford fire. Our class watched the entirety of the video documenting the fire’s progression, and lemme tell you the sheer _SPEED_ at which the fire intensified is something I will NEVER unsee. I often compare it to the King’s Cross Station fire, which occurred in London 2 years after the Bradford fire and cost 31 people their lives. Ironically, it was found to have been caused by a carelessly-tossed lit match (likely from someone lighting a cigarette) that fell into the escalators and ignited the wooden materials, further fed by the flammable debris underneath. I guess what I’m trying to say is that it really highlighted just how avoidable both this disaster and the King’s Cross fire were, but also how many lives have been saved since then following the enactment of stricter building protocols.
I've seen that footage too and you really can't unsee how fast it spread. Even seeing pictures from that day there's people smiling with the chaos behind them because it was spreading so fast they couldn't react.
Yeah it happened crazy fast. @@MSinistrari
One thing I learned from PSAs: Never underestimate the speed of fire. I actually saw a PSA that used that fire as an example!

The absolute audacity of Officer Peyer. It's no surprise to hear of a police officer abusing his power, but it's another beast entirely to insert yourself back into the horrible situation YOU created like he did. I'm sure he enjoyed the attention and totally thought he'd get away with it. Psycho.
Agreed. It is also extremely terrifying that cops are who u go to for help in that situation yet he's the one who caused it. Even if not broken down, if u are being pulled over, u have to pull over n yet it cost her her life! That is so scary!

There were red flags but his position always negated suspicion. In the months before his crimes, he actually told several of his fellow officers, that THIS is where he’d dispose of a body if he had to. His ticket book contained the most write-ups, leading to his nickname: the hot pencil. But among all those tickets there were virtually NO male motorists. And none in took place in daylight hours. Wasted shield.
The bridge where Cara Knott lost her life is now abandoned and the Cara Knott Memorial Garden was established just below it as a memorial for her and the many homicide victims of San Diego. Her grieving father, Sam Knott, was the mind behind the garden. He turned a place where tragedy occurred to a place where his family and others can come together and pay tribute to their loved ones who were murdered. Sam planted acorn saplings that were from their backyard to the garden, dedicating them to his deceased daughter. It is said that those acorn trees continue to grow throughout the county to this day.
May he and Cara rest in peace.
That cop being in the actual video of how to avoid roadside strangers is the perfect definition of dry snitching.

I just wonder what the hell was going through his head. You're a police officer, you literally say in the video that when you need help to call the police.

Wow...what a monster.

As soon as I heard Nick mention the locked gates and turnstiles during the Bradford Fire segment, my heart just sank and simultaneously broke for the victims of the fire. Crowd crushes utterly horrify me in a way that hardly anything else manages to anymore. They're one of my absolute worst fears.
Same. To the point I am wary of even attending places that will be packed and if I do I research exits and floor plans beforehand. The station nightclub fire haunts me to this day.
@higglybiggly1174 i feel the very same way. I don't go to crowded places much anymore and I always stay near an exit that I know is functional. That footage will haunt me forever. The only good thing that came out of how horrific it was is how much better fire safety requirements are.
Why does it seem like the UK in particular have a history of infamous crowd crushing events? It seems like most of the stories I’ve heard of then come from there.
@@youthoughtaboutit6946Notoriously poor safety standards in UK stadiums.
Too many tickets were often sold for big matches, causing overcrowded stands in poorly built stadiums, guarded by too few and untrained stewards and police officers. The fans back then were also often drunk or drugged up.
Safety standards improved a lot after the Hillsborough and Heysel disasters and luckily there haven’t been big disasters like those since.
As they say, regulations are written in blood. If you think a rule or policy is "stupid" or "farfetched", you obviously don't know the history behind it.
I can't wait for the video about the new decision to close emergency exits on the subway because of 'fare evasion'
@stmsin in my state it is illegal to carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket
@@thecaptainsnark fun fact, that law actually used to have a reason! See, back in the day, when everyone used horses and cars didn't exist, horse thieves used to use ice cream in their back pockets to lure horses away without being charged for stealing. It gave them the excuse of "the horse just started following me, I wasn't stealing it" that law was put in place so that excuse could no longer work.
So yeah!
Even the stupidest sounding rules had some reason to them at the time they were implemented!
@@SappyDuder i knew it must have a reason but never would have i guessed that
@@thecaptainsnarkSounds like the security guy that didn't let people out the back exit during The Station fire. People died because they got stuck all trying to go through one exit but security was more concerned about how it's for the band only than the fire smh
The first Niagara Falls story is so bittersweet. This man felt so hopeless, and he was giving up, then changed his mind yet got stuck, which I can imagine in that moment made him feel even more hopeless, which even reflects in him telling the rescuers to give up. But these people all came together and rescued him nonetheless. I just find that so powerful. Humankind is deeply connected in a way that we sometimes don’t see until everything else we’re focused on is stripped away
The second was a tragedy even sadder that it was on TV
There's a documentary that's too painful for me to watch about the small handful of people who survived jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge. They all said that as they were falling, they regretted their decision and realized that they didn't actually want to die, they just wanted something to change in their life. That's often the case with suicidal people. The fear of death is so deeply ingrained into our psyche that most of us, no matter how depressed we are, truly do want to live. I used to struggle with suicidal ideation, so this is something I keep reminding myself to keep the thoughts from returning. And so far, it works.
@@onionbubs386 After watching this, I re-listened to the poem "The View from Halfway down" from Bojack Horseman which was inspired by those same survivor stories.
The weak breeze whispers nothing
The water screams sublime
His feet shift, teeter-totter
Deep breath, stand back, it’s time
Toes untouch the overpass
Soon he’s water bound
Eyes locked shut but peek to see
The view from halfway down
A little wind, a summer sun
A river rich and regal
A flood of fond endorphins
Brings a calm that knows no equal
You’re flying now
You see things much more clear than from the ground
It’s all okay, it would be
Were you not now halfway down
Thrash to break from gravity
What now could slow the drop
All I’d give for toes to touch
The safety back at top
But this is it, the deed is done
Silence drowns the sound
Before I leaped I should’ve seen
The view from halfway down
There's a RUclips channel you might like called Scary Interesting. He mostly recounts caving and cave diving disaster stories, and many stories have people coming together to rescue someone like in this story. Not all the stories there end as well as this one, but even so you see people trying their hardest to save another person.
That's deep!
That rescue could have easily gone so wrong. I’m so happy everyone made it out alive.
Some Rescue Heroes type stuff for sure.
Damn I thought I was the only one who watched that shi
Its more unbelievable than an action scene in a movie, this guy was about to go away but ended up being the main character in one of the coolest moments captured on camera.
I had to pause the video and read some comments because I was freaking out thinking he was going to fall over and die. I'm so glad he made it out, its situations like this that make you realize you dont want to die, you just want the pain to stop. I hope he is well.
I'm Brazilian and I follow the channel regularly. I think Nicky has a lot of talent for telling stories and always brings very convenient data to help us understand the facts. I keep thinking about many absurd stories that were televised here in Brazil that would make great videos for the channel, like "Latininho no Domingão do Faustão", the baby who died live on the program "O Povo na TV", the soap opera starring Daniela Perez, "De Corpo e Alma" among other shocking events.
😮😮😮 Un bebe?!!!
@@silviamtz8961 yes a baby, with an ocular cancer, died on the set of a program while waiting for help.

He was almost the cause of rescue people dying....not cool
@@inmydarkesthour2278what do you think rescue people do?
Addiction is such a horrible thing, I hope he got help for it and managed to reconcile with the people he lost because of it. Him deciding to end it just to be saved by many lucky coincidences and the rescuers risking their own lives to save him must've made an impression on him.
that's not a very hardcore to the bone thing to say :/ @@inmydarkesthour2278
One of the most haunting images from the Bradford fire was when the cameras caught someone walking out of the inferno. They were completely on fire. Police and spectators got to him almost immediately to put the fire out, but he died in hospital later that day. Some of those trapped in the upper stands chose to try and get through the inferno to get to the pitch. AFAIK, very few of those made it out alive. Even police were coming out of the stands with hair or coats on fire. Hooligans were on the pitch chanting team songs and cheering on the flames while people were burning alive behind them. It was utter bedlam.
After that the commentator said, "This... is human tragedy." And it was. He'd gone from documenting a joyous occasion - a league trophy hoisting with his home team for the first time in 80 years - to a total disaster.
I have watched videos on rotten and theync, but nothing has gotten to me as much as seeing that guy walk out on fire.and one from The Station nightclub fire. He walked out of the club calmly just like the one you mentioned. If you have never seen the"Mike Vargas" story from The Station fire, look it up. He survived inside the club and it is an incredible story.
I'm from Bradford, Undercliffe to be specific, grew up here and I still live in Bradford currently (not undercliffe which is BD2 anymore) but my grandad, who also grew up in Bradford and was a die hard Bradford City fan (he traveled everywhere with the team back in the 1970's/1980's) he was actually supposed to be at this game because the stadium was walking distance from where he lived with my Nana at the time. The literal only reason he wasn't there in the stands that day was because he got too drunk in a pub and fell asleep at the bar. A girl at my primary school tho however, her dad was there that day and I remember she brought (with her dad's permission) the same Bradford City FC shirt he wore to that game tha they kept and never washed as it was put in a frame, I remember it still having stains on it and what not if I remember correctly although this is alot of years back now.
R.I.P to all of them. I don’t think anyone knew how to react.
@@omendium2918very close to home for those in Bradford, I hope they’re both well
I remember the opposing teams fans jumping and laughing at the camera. I suspect they did know people were dying at that very moment.
The absolute DEDICATION those radio hosts had to continue the commentary while the stadium burned around them. Respect
I feel bad for Balloon Priest. He threw caution and common sense to the winds (quite literally) for a cause he thought was worthy, and it ended with not only his death but also with his congregation being left without their leader. A dumb decision to be sure, but he really did think he was doing something good.
I don’t feel bad for him at all. He could have fed and clothed the local poor people in his own town and community and shown non believers his religion. Instead he chose hubris and vanity and wanted to turn himself into a spectacle because he wanted attention. Well, he got worldwide attention, and I hope it was worth it.
i dont feel bad to be honest that was really really dumb of him
eh i don’t feel that bad. didn’t bother rescheduling to a day with better weather. his stupidity got him killed. it’s a terrifying death tho
Where was his god that day? lol
@@Landofnothing Out at sea apparently.
I'm so glad that man survived his attempt! The rescue crew worked so and so efficiently, and it was clear this guy really wanted to live; I can't imagine being half submerged in fast, freezing water for over an hour and having any strength left at all. Most people who survive these split second decisions regret them and never try again, so I hope he got help for his gambling problem and turned his life around.
As soon as you said they were bringing a helicopter in to try for air rescue, I assumed they would be approaching from the cliff side of the falls specifically because of the draft from the rotor. It's wild to me that they tried the approach from the river side, but you can see they were trying to come up alongside so he wasn't buffeted too badly. I can only assume they picked that approach because he would have been backwards and couldn't watch for when the harness/rope if they came from the cliff side, or maybe the spray off the falls would have made it difficult to operate; helicopters are pretty finicky machines, so they can only really work in specific conditions.
The more time it takes a person to find a method, the less likely they are to hurt themselves, so a casino located a few minutes walk from a huge waterfall seems a bit unwise. Like you said, many people who attempt to take their lives regret it instantly, so having such an fatal option so close has probably robbed people of an opportunity to keep living & turn their lives around.
He was selfish to risk the rescuers life like that. What if one of them had died trying to save him!! He should have just done it if he was going to put himself in that situation. Not half do it and then spend tens of thousands of tax payer dollars and a bunch of time and risked the lives of emergency workers @@jaynestrange
@@jaynestrange Big agree about method and location, casinos love tourists though, so my guess is that there's a bunch close to such a huge destination landmark. I wish casinos could cut people off who start losing too much, the same way a bar can stop serving you if they think you're too drunk. It doesn't stop them from going to another casino, but it might help them think twice. Of course, that's not the MO of a casino, and it'd be near impossible to implement, but a girl can dream.
But he almost caused a lot more ppl to die, though
@@jaynestrangemost suicidal clients dont have enough to offer to make them wanna change that
If rents cheap it stays
The radio broadcast of that football match was chilling. The way that in a minute the speaker goes from commenting somewhat calmly about the fire to panic is just haunting and gives such a good indication of how quickly that fire grew.
Hearing that panic in his voice made me feel so uneasy and panicked. So eerie
There’s a full video available I watched it on RUclips and I wouldn’t recommend watching it, I’m from Bradford and there’s a remembrance every year the stadium now is much better condition I’ve been there a few times

4:14 i like that his first reaction to the order to get everyone in the pitch was advice. "Don't push or shove! Don't forget the kiddies." As there's fire feet away.
I remember it. I was 8 and had been to my first Norwich game
I've lived in Bradford my whole life, still do and the Bradford City fire disaster is still remembered and talked about to this day, there's a remembrance plaque in the centre of the city with all the victims names on it. Some of the worst footage, all of it screened live on TV at the time, is horrific, there's footage of a man walking out of the stand after about 2 minutes and he's completely engulfed in flames, people rushed to help and a police officer threw his jacket over him and jumped on top of him to try and put out the flames, he got badly burned trying to help the guy but it was for nothing as he sadly died.
The raw footage of the whole event is heart breaking to watch, it's one of the most horrific live TV events I've ever seen, it's surprising that outside of West Yorkshire, it's so rarely ever talked about.
As fate would have it, I was supposed to go to the game but because I was naughty that week, my step dad grounded me and refused to take me. Funny how some things turn out.
I wonder if it’s a Bradford thing or I’m just ignorant to this event. I’m from Halifax and this is the first I’ve ever heard of it
@@dddddddddddddddadddddddddddddd I suppose it depends on your age, if you're over 40 there's no way you won't remember this, it was massive worldwide news at the time but it just seems to have been kind of forgotten about outside of Bradford, strange considering how big a disaster this was.
I was in Florida about 12 years ago and when I mentioned I was from Bradford on a few occasions, I was asked, 'Oh the place with the riots?' which shocked me that in the USA, more people know Bradford for the Muslim riots that the Bradford City fire disaster, it shocked me, it's quite sad considering how many people lost thier lives in the fire.
Yes it was awful. I remember watching the match on the telly as an 11 year old lad. I don't remember the man on fires name but I remember he was a retired mill worker. Really sad. I'll remember it forever. I'm from Stockport so not too far away.

You don't hear that term used that often anymore.
Good on you for keeping it going.
It feels like Nick Crowley videos are simply incomplete without some mention of a raging fire caused by gross negligence.
That last one was a rollercoaster of emotions, almost made me cry. Hope he's living a good life now.
First tory is tragically sad. That guy who flicked the cigarette must have felt horrendous.
Ture the whole situation kind of sounds like a anti-smoking PSA in a weird way like if this guy wasn't addicted to smoking the fire wouldn't happen and killed a bunch of people but the situation did make soccer fields more structure so maybe there was a slightly good ending
Unless he was a hooligan, in which case, mass murder was likely the intention. Football hooligan firms in Europe in the eighties used to be what the smack cartels in South America are today.
@@flytrapJester Who said he was "addicted to smoking"? Some people only smoke when they drink; others have a cigarette once every blue moon. And if they didn't have a bunch of stacked-up garbage under the stands, that probably never would have even occurred.
@@DistractedGlobeGuy I don't think he had any idea of the status underneath the bleachers. And if they thought anything intentional/criminal of it, I'm sure he would have been charged.
@@loveforeignaccents "not a crime" doesn't equate to "not a gravely irresponsible decision that directly brought about the deaths of innocent people". _If_ he wasn't an arsonist hooligan, then he likely _did_ feel guilt over his _actions_ that day, and he wouldn't be at all _unjustified_ in feeling that way.
Your actions have consequences, whether they can be prosecuted or not-whether you act alone, or in concert with other parties that also bear responsibility and guilt.
That's the thing about guilt-it doesn't "divide" when multiple different parties are at fault for a disaster, it _multiplies._ There is _always_ enough to go around.
Man, the balloon priest one is very heartbreaking imo
This guy wanted funding for his dream only for his naivety and drive to be his downfall, I can’t imagine how much fear he was in when everything went wrong
And what does he get for his death? “Up up and away” from some prick
You're so stupid. The reporter (or whoever that guy was) obviously said that as a joke; BEFORE things went downhill. He's not a prick for saying that.
Those 2 rescue workers and everyone else doing their best to help the man at Niagra Falls are badasses. They should be commended for saving his life. I hope that man is doing better in his life now.

John 3:16-21
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.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
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.

6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

I love seeing Nick in the sponsors, it makes me feel so like comforted like “there’s a human behind this who is probably just as scared as me” so thanks for making that like a thing really apart of your videos now
Ew
That poor priest wasn't too bright, unfortunately, but had a good heart.
No, if he had a good heart, he would have helped the poor in his own town. He had an arrogant heart
No he didn't. Do you have any idea how much money it costs to fill all those balloons with helium? We're talking high five figures, easily. That money could have been spent helping his congregation, but he wanted the glory. Also, he didn't bother to figure out how to use his GPS until after he was in the air? Really?
@@jasonvargas7564 Who said he didn't with what he was able to?
@@WobblesandBean Maybe the balloons and helium were donated (as a form of advertisement for the company.) And hence the first part of my comment, him not being too bright, in regards to your statement about the GPS.
@@loveforeignaccents how could he have when he was too busy flying with balloons?
You're hands down one of the best channels thta covers dark media. The production is amazing and its not overstimulating to watch. Ive been watching your videos for years and seeing you get the deserved recognition makes me so happy for you !! Keep doing you dude and take care of yourself ❤

Yeah Nick is a bad guy. He just profits off death.
Don't be silly, he has to make money somehow. @@detective2221
I swear he usually does an introduction before he gets into the sponsors then he starts covering the stories. It is pretty bad pacing to do it where you talk about one thing then do a sponsorship.
@detective2221 you need a tissue fella? Stop watching.
@@ArtChannel80 He isn't wrong you know. Thats what all the "crime" channels on youtube do. Even if its not their intention, they are profiting off the death and misery of other people. They only receive that money because someone died. In the case of murders, how many of these youtubers do you think donate money from the video to the victims families? Zero. \
Try putting a few seconds of thought into the subject and maybe you can come up with a better snarky response.
I really enjoyed seeing a ‘dark’ story with a happy ending. Would love more
If there's something even sadder about the balloon priest is that people mock him without acknowledging his motives. The song "balada louca" is an example of it
He died for a vanity project. You can practice your religion anywhere, a building does not suddenly make your beliefs any more or less legitimate.
@@adamakapuppy8921For Roman Catholics we need a place to practice. We believe in sacraments which though conducted by priest, are a gift given by God. So having a chapel where a priest could offer mass or confession is not just a vanity project.

Man, I binge watched your first three darkest TV moments videos, and then you release a fourth one. The edition and the way you describe things give me chills. Thanks, man, I haven't been this engaged with a channel in a lot of time.
dude I just binged the 5 video playlist, this stuff is wild! Nice work I like your narration and editing!
I'm from Bradford! It was pretty surprising to see my home featured on the channel. The stadium fire is a big deal for the people here, it lives in many of our people's memories. People lost loved ones and a time of enjoyment turned quickly into the worst day for many.
People take football very seriously in England, and definitely in Bradford. It's a huge tragedy that we will always remember.
Just want to say big ups to the Bantams, I don't care too much for football myself but our town deserves some recognition. Thanks for featuring us.
I'm a Leeds fan myself so i hate the Bantams lol I'd never disrespect what happened or those affected by the tragedy though, it was awful and you're bang on when you say it still affects people in Bradford to this day.
Your town deserves nothing, get a grip
I work security at football matches and we're shown the Bradford disaster in our training, before I started my job I was so scared of working at football matches because of it and also the Hillsborough tragedy but now there's extra precautions and safety techniques in the stadiums.
I'm from Bradford too! My mum and my cousin (10 at the time) were almost going to go to this exact match, but ultimately decided not to.
My family and I used to go to Niagara falls every summer and it's chilling how many times we saw security or police have to hold people back from climbing the barriers. Thank you for sharing the case with the survivor, even as terrifying as it is.
I live about 25 minutes from Niagara Falls & have been there many times. Yet I've never once seen any police having to "hold people back" from jumping over the guardrails & leaping to their death. So yeah, I'm calling bullshit on your comment 😂
They should just electrify the barriers.
@@SugarTits716 This was between 1996-2003 and I don't know if they were intending to jump or get a better view or what, I just know people didn't take the safety measures too seriously.
As a Brazilian who saw it happen back in the day I had to skip the Balloon Priest part. It's just sad.
Don't blame you. Tragic.
He clearly didn’t learn the lesson from Icarus, and so his own arrogance led to his downfall (hehe)
@@jasonvargas7564Why are you making fun of him?
@@jasonvargas7564 Bro? Your arrogance is gonna be your downfall after karma comes to bite your in the ass for slighting a dead man so much. He actually tried to support a cause, whether he was "arrogant" or not. That's more than most of us can say as we sit to waste time online forever. How often do you go out and feed the homeless again?
@@jasonvargas7564 My brother in Christ, can we please stay civil enough not to assume someone was "arrogant" when there was absolutely nothing that would imply such a thing?
the fact that all it took was the span of 3 minutes for that fire to grow as big as it did just goes to show how much more dangerous fire could be under the right conditions to make it grow. it's honestly horrifying.
I can’t recall if you’ve ever covered the broadcast of the crowd crush at Hillsborough in 1989, but if you haven’t, I recommend looking into it
Always chills me to my core. I now can't stop thinking of fires in those sort of pens
Yes, I was just thinking the same. I was a teenager during both of these incidents and they really impacted on me.. I still recall the front pages of the Sun and those poor girls... And the bitter legal disputes afterwards...
That whole thing was so awful and completely avoidable, the people in charge were 100% at fault for those deaths

I went to Niagara Falls on a Monday evening in late November of 2015. I got there about 5:15, and was at first disappointed to find the parking lots empty, leading me to think it was closed. The guy in the parking booth just waved me through to the empty lot, assuring me it was ok to park however I wanted so I could get out. (I was towing an empty 30 foot boat trailer.) I park across a row of spaces and get out and he approaches and tells me "dude, just go in. Enjoy the view. You got about 2 and a half hours."
I walked in, took the quick stroll through one of the gardens, and found my way to the observation deck. And I would have been completely alone up there, if there hadnt been a younger couple smooching on the deck.
I was lucky enough to hit one of the biggest tourist attractions in America, and have it all to myself. No masses. No tourists. No kids. And 100% free
If I ever go to America I would never stay on the laid out path. Like aren't you allowed to enjoy the actual nature? Like seriously. Humans are nature. There is no restrictions on going wherever. You never see a rat or bird being shooed away just by existing and drinking in nature.... How extremely sad to have to be at specific places on the ground. It's an actual dystopia if that is the case! Like no one can actually own the earth. They will die one day, and who "owns" it then????
With luck like that, you should've grabbed a lottery ticket when you got home.
The insane part about this story to me is that it happened on a Monday evening. A work day evening. You're incredibly lucky to have had those circumstances on that day.
I've been able to enjoy the Falls free of charge with zero crowd on two separate occasions. Both of them were on a weekend, and pretty much right after sunrise. The booth at the Skylon Tower parking lot wouldn't be open until 9 am, so parking was free there on both occasions. Not sure if that's still the case now though cuz the last time I did this was in 2021.
Edit: I should add, this is all on the Canadian side. Not sure if the same would ring true for the American side. Our side is one of the most heinous tourist traps in the country, so it was a huge deal to me that I could get free parking before everything opened up. The Falls parking lot uses machines instead of people now so there's no way to get free parking there lol.
@@LoganSLRLockwood twas on the US side
@@fudgerounds91 funny you say that. I was doing this shipping and hauling gig, picking up cargo and driving it from one Destination to another. Did a lot of boats and RVs being shipped after online sales, some manufacturer to customer delivering, and "snow bird" moving up and down the east coast.
I started doing it at 31, having never been west of Alberquerqe, north of OKC, or east of Texarkana. About a week into my first road trip, I decided that I should collect trinkets. Not uncommon, as people collect trinkets like magnets, seashells/rocks, stickers, or other marketed to tourist junk to commemorate their travels..... I chose lottery scratch tickets, as well as the commonly collected refrigerator magnet shaped like the state. I'd grab 5 bucks worth of scratchers in every state that offered them.
The most sad thing I have ever seen on German tv, was of a homeless old man, sitting on a bridge with his dog. Then he threw his beloved dog down and then he jumped right after his dog. This image makes me cry up to today, even if it was 30 years ago. 😢
Coward threw his dog first . Typical homeless person. This is coming from a former homeless person so I don’t want to hear it . Most of them are on the streets for a reason and I know this first hand . So liberals , save it .
That family that lost their job rarely exists . Most are a holes and drug addicts or drunks . Mean people , scam you for a dollar . I’ve been there and it’s the truth
Jeepers, I don't think his dog wanted to die too.
@@bryguysays2948 certainly not. But I think the man knew his dog would end in an animal shelter.
This may seem like an odd choice, but i think the South Park episode "The Return of Chef" might be good to cover on this series. On the surface it might seem like a sending off episode for a character who's actor quit, but behind the scenes there was a man who had a stroke, got brainwashed by a cult and ended up dead because of their treatment of him.
Yeah, the whole Isaac Hayes situation is just downright creepy, especially with Scientology being thrown into the mix.
There are so so many horror stories from the Bradford City fire, the one that gets me every time is Paul Hudson, our local weather guy (or meteorologist) said on a documentary that there was an old man who was waiting for his change from a cup of tea while the fire was happening, people were telling him to leave, there was a fire, and it was getting closer but the old man would not leave until he got his change from his cup of tea. That gets me every time. This was also the year after the Oxford Circus Tube fire and two years before Kings cross. I've read Martin Fletcher's book and that has left me with a lot more questions, I've read the abstract of the Popplewell report and can't help wondering if he was the correct pick to chair the inquiry, I'm comparing it to the Cullen and Hidden reports and the Taylor report, and feel that Popplewell's report, doesn't live up to the standard set by the other reports however, a view shared by Martin Fletcher, a survivor of both Bradford City and Hillsborough disasters
EDIT: There was a lot of good that came out of the disaster, though to put it into context the 70s/80s in the UK had a lot of issues with football hooliganism and the police worked matches in a certain way (see Hilsborough as well and everything surrounding that), however as told by a retired officer I know, once the severity of the disaster was realized, which did not take long, the police helped in any way they could but it affected everyone in various ways
Tight arse Yorkshire man would rather die than leave a few pence change 😂
Oh i never knew there was a gentleman waiting... we've had a lot of haunting events happen at several of our football stadiums, like at Hillsborough... not a fire but still just frightening the stories that came out from it...
Hillsborough is its own rabbit hole, and knowing what has come out in the 30+ years since makes it all the more tragic and sickening. When Kelvin McKenzie was quoted by the BBC during the whole Huw Edwards story last year I was sat there thinking you absolute bastard, you have no right to speak on how the press should behave given all he's done while in charge of the Sun, and all the controversies he was a part of then he sits there and chirps on about press should do this and this and that, and yet he's not exactly got a clean past, even before Hillsborough he was in hot water over his treatment of the sinking of the ARA General Belgrano during the Falklans War and how the Sun treated the attack
It's hard to feel bad for someone choosing a couple coins over getting away from a fire. If he wasn't a survivor that means his loved ones had to bury his burnt body over a fucking cup of tea. Absurd.
Well said mate right until you said realised but with the American Z but I really liked your comment.

Nick is one or my favourite channels on RUclips.
If he had done research he would have known that in England there is no such thing as soccer. Maybe its a bit petty but it annoys me when Americans call our game soccer instead of football. We actually use our feet to play the game.
@Sundaydish1 yea I know, but if the demographic of his videos are watched my Americans, I guess it helps with them understanding what sport he's talking about. I'm sure he knows the majority of the world refers to it as football though
There are few that do this
It's an American RUclipsr buddy. It's called soccer in America. It's okay, I promise. @@Sundaydish1
@@Sundaydish1 He also referred to the emergency number as 911 in a past video about something that happened in England, so go figure. Nick definitely puts a ton of effort into his videos, but his research and/or script decisions are far from perfect.
This was a really good video. Very in depth and very clear narrating without talking to much with music in the background. Especially having actual video footage of everything. Very well done, now i have to watch the first 3 im hooked. You gained a new subscriber.
It just dawned on me, they have Casino's on both sides of Niagra Falls ,isn't that dangerous in its self, lose your life savings and you have the perfect suicide spot at your finger tips. Nice save on that guy, I wonder how many do it that we do not hear about ?
Im really glad to see someone cover the bradford fire. As a British person, this is such a dark event that really scarred football. There are a couple events like that in the uk sport scene which i wish made more of an impact on how badly we maintain our facilities. Its great more attention is being brought to it.

My favorite part about this channel is how the editing makes it even more suspenseful
It’s super unnerving sometimes
(This is a long comment)
7:57 The person you showed was of a very famous man named Karl Wallenda who exceeded in the ability to balance himself on extremely thin ropes while holding long poles. And Karl Was filmed on live tv doing the daredevil stunt. But then suddenly he started losing his balance. And he started shaking and crouched down. After realizing he was about to fall, he couldn’t do anything and could only think about this for 3 seconds before he fell off the rope on live tv. The camera didn’t show him hitting the floor but instead it showed 100 people flocking to where he fell in a desperate act to save him. Sadly, he passed away due to the fall. It was extremely shocking.
Infact, you should put it in the next one.
Omg Nick uploaded time to take my lunch break! Stoked to see what you got for us man

16:18 SoCal native here: After years I was waiting for someone to finally make a video about Cara.
More facts and extras after that case: That little turnout leading to the bridge (now closed) is a popular spot for Skating, Smoking, Photoshoots for cars, etc. Cara’s father had a stroke in that same area and ended up passing away. (Tragic coincidence) The turnout was later named “Cara Way” in her memory and there is a small memorial for the both of them towards the bottom of the trail. One of my close friends was doing a photoshoot around 3am on that bridge that Cara was thrown from. He had not known anything about Cara’s murder prior. He mentioned he felt very very bad vibes that he hadn’t felt before. I told him about the case the morning after
The fact that it the 3 am hour as well…yikes

The worst part of the Bradford Fire's victims being crushed by locked gates is that *the exact same thing would happen again* in the Hillsborough Stadium four years later, also in Yorkshire. Hillsborough's disaster however was not because of a fire, but through incompetence of the police and unlike the Bradford Fire, had a much stronger public response to both the structure of UK football stadiums, and the classist treatment of working-class people in newspaper coverage.
Appreciate this series a lot for showing the fascinating- but-morbid relationship between crime and entertainment in today's world. Also really glad there's at least one story in here with a happy ending regarding the First "Man On the Edge", just to give a spark of hope in the midst of darkness.
"flirted WITH her" gives the impression it was consensual. More accurate would be he "tried" to flirt with her and she was most likely creeped out.
Oh come off it. “Flirting with someone” doesn’t mean both people are flirting.

there was a Dutch Consumer Safety Institution PSA from 1999 about the Bradford fire. It shows in real time the spreading of the fire and a lit cigarette beside it. I remember watching this PSA a while back not knowing the actual tragedy it shows. On a related note, I think you should cover PSAs like this. The ones that have a huge impact, dark backstories, disturbing content, maybe even lost media. There's something so captivating about disturbing PSAs. I feel like you can dig up some really great material as always.
There was another PSA from that company which was named, believe it or not, "Funniest Home Video", it involved real home footage of kids getting injured via falling, *complete with their crying sounds being heard*
I still don't get why people usually rank it very low in "scary PSA" lists, I remember being ABSOLUTELY PETRIFIED when I first watched it, to the point I couldn't sleep well that night, heck, not even Japan's "Kitchen Mother" PSA traumatized me as much as that one...

Suggestion for part 5.
In the early 19's and the late 80's Dale Earnhardt Sr was at one of the best NASCAR drivers in the sport winning 7 titles over that span.
Towards the end of his career he had the opportunity to race against his son Dale Earnhardt Jr who at that time was just starting his NASCAR Winston Cup career and Dale was still winning races. In 2000 he won at Talladega Superspeedway with a great rally from 15th to 1st in a few laps. Everyone was shocked with this rally and they cheered so loud for Dale. But what they didn't know was that they witnessed his last ever win of his brilliant career...
Now it's 2001 and Dale was going into another Daytona 500. And he won this race a few years prior in 1998 with 20 years of trying. And he was racing alongside Dale Jr and his team driver Michael Waltrip.
Over the race Dale was making very very aggressive moves all day and with a few laps to go Dale's team were 1,2 and in 3rd was Dale Sr and coming down the backstretch for the final time in the race Waltrip was leading with Dale Jr right behind him... but in 3rd Dale Sr was racing very aggressive and blocking all the way down the backstretch. In the booth Michael's brother Darrell Waltrip was hoping Michael would get his first career win and everything was going well...
Until they went into turn 3 Dale Sr got turned by Ken Schrader into the wall very hard. But no one noticed it at first in the booth and they were racing back to the line and everyone was all happy. But Darrell Waltrip said "I hope Dale's alright that was a hard hit." After the race Ken Schrader went over to Sr's car and he was calling for the paramedics in a panic and then. Things took a dark turn...
Paramedics took Dale to a hospital in a ambulance to while Michael Waltrip is celebrating his win in Daytona Victory Lane and he is told by someone in the garage about Dale and him and Jr rushed to the hospital to check on Dale but there was nothing they could do to save Dale Earhardt...
He was pronounced dead the next day and the president of NASCAR made a speech confirming his death. A day that was suppose to be full of joy and happiness was turned to sadness in a span of a few minutes and all of it was broadcasted live on TV.
My family were huge Earnhardt Sr fans growing up and I remember coming home from school the day he died to my mom bawling. She still has memorabilia of him
The Niagra Falls story is amazing, the whole thing seems impossible
Truly Im so glad he survived though he was in such a bad spot in life as well. Not many get the chance to be saved, truly blessed not to mention the HEROES of the rescues who put themselves at risk determined to save him even when he gave up. Must’ve been terrifying

No clue, I saw it a while back and I remember he did the weird glitches like he does in all his videos and Jenny’s teeth and blonde hair turned red green with static. Thought it was creepy.
22:23 do you guys see the face on the white ice on the left of the screen?
Omg 😨
Uhh....oh shit is that real?
Was trying to find this comment, looks like a horned figure
Finally, someone said it!!!!!
Looks like woman with a veil on her head to me
I feel like an asshole for being angry at that priest.. I mean, nobody thought to just ask "have you used a GPS before? No? Let me show you.." 1‐3 minute lesson would have saved him, so stupid it makes me angry..
It's not anyones fault other than him though, he should have been the one to go "hmm, I've never used a GPS before, I wonder how it works.."! But for nobody around to think it's year 2008, GPS was not that common device back then and here is around 60‐year old priest (as older people are known for being so tech‐savvy), maybe make sure he knows his way around those devices? But of course everyone just assumed he knew, which tells me there were nobody professional in charge of safety
calm down will you dont be angry just chill a little bit

Samee. I literally checked his page a few days ago.
4:08 I think he is saying "it's absolutely spreading quickly"
the priest should have just done a local Raffle .
Why do I always get goosebumps when Nick says "one of the darkest moments in....in television history". So good.
Best news of this year; Nick is back. I missed him so much ❤

I’m from Yorkshire and I can’t believe I’ve never heard of the Bradford Fire.
I think it gets overshadowed by another soccer incident, the Hillsborough crush, idk if you’ve ever covered it. This happened in the area I live in, so probably why we focussed on that at school.
It’s such a tragedy when a lack of care from the higher-ups leads to lives cut short.
Brilliant video as usual! You’re one of the few respectful “dark media” RUclipsrs I know.
What happened?
@@nightcorebeatzx8652The stewards let in too many people to watch the game, which led people to be crushed. 94 people died that day and 766 injured.

Woah dude, how did you find that news video of the niagara suicide? I can't find it ANYWHERE online. It's like it's been scrubbed. You might be one of the last people to have a copy of it.
Yeah, I’m wondering the same thing!
I found something but it has no audio
