UPDATE: This video was removed because of a copyright claim from the WWE. I had to trim a portion of chapter 4 out which is why the edit might seem jarring. The video is still under dispute and unfortunately might be taken down again so enjoy it while it’s here! The whole situation is really disappointing as this was one of my best performing videos before it was taken down, but I’m just happy it’s back up again.🙏🏻
TBH, the steps that WWE took to hide this was baffling. And the fact that that Chris Benoit isn't even available in things such as video games and movies is even more upsetting. Regardless of what happened, he is still a part of history. I mean look at calligula. The Borgia family. Bill fuckin Clinton lol
@@elloello227he did it to save the last images and show that he was alive after. Putting the SD card in the bottle stopped the elements getting to it to recover.
During the helicopter crash, hearing the guy say "Whoa JESUS!" right before they crash, then hearing his scream just fade away is honestly bone-chilling.
For those who don't know: it used to be that the pilots flying news helicopters were responsible for reporting too. This crash changed a lot, now reporting is done by reporters and not the pilots.
Yes, people like Bob Tur became professionals at both piloting and reporting at the same time, a one man army in the sky. They had cameras on a dome under the chopper to both monitor the live shot and the aircraft at the same time. Eventually due to cost news agencies would have a pilot/cameraman combo and the pilot would narrate what the cameraman is also taping.
When I clicked on this, I was not expecting to see coverage of an accident involving someone I knew. Rick Krolak, the cameraman for channel 15 in the helicopter crash (13:07), was my cousin's father and my uncle before he and my aunt divorced. I remember being at my university when my mom called me with the news. There is now a memorial for the two pilots and two cameramen in the park where they crashed.
@@L33TRedNinja My experience was nothing compared to that of my cousin. He was 14 at the time, and it was very difficult for him to lose his father so suddenly. I still remember the funeral service. Another one of Rick's children from a previous marriage had also had their toddler pass away only shortly before that, so they were having a very hard time as well. This was 16 years ago. My cousin now has a career in journalism like his father.
"I think it was scott" that just hurts even more hearing him panicking because of that helicopter collision. I feel so bad for everyone that was effected by that crash.
I remember coming home that day and seeing the crash on the Tv screen. My mother just happened to be working by those offices at the time. She saw the smoke and fire up close. It was a sobering day for Arizonans indeed. What needs to be mentioned is that despite the accident, the rest of the helicopters kept in close communication to prevent more incidents. Seeing people stay professional while watching their friends and colleges pass is… chilling. Respect to them all.
As far as the Benoit situation, William Regal lived very close to Benoit, so he was intimately familiar with the domestic problems Chris and Nancy had been having. He’d been called on a couple of occasions to calm Benoit down when he was angry or upset. So, Regal knew a lot more than everyone else at the memorial show, which is why he made the very vague and somewhat cryptic comments about him and his family.
Crash Holly was also known to be the other person who was the target of his mood swings until his and his family's deaths. He was the last to be invited to his home, and became enraged when Crash didn't come to his invitation. Had Crash came, he would be either stopped the rampage, or died alongside Nancy and Daniel.
Problem with that is there were reports of the family being stalked by someone and I believe it was kevin Sullivan he couldn't leave nancy alone so he hired hitmen to take them out the crime scene by some of the investigators said it looked like a hired hit
The helicopter collision is probably the most devastating thing I've seen in a while. The reactions of the friends and coworkers of the four men who perished is heartbreaking, and I only wish peace to those who passed away.
I can second that notion, though that's more to it being more of a local event that I was aware of myself more than certain international events in question.
As someone from the UK Mick Philpott is much much eviler than described here. There’s documentaries about the family before the fire and it’s heartbreaking to see the kids running around carefree not knowing what was waiting for them.
@@thedesensitizedsympathizer5307 I remember reading about a psychological analysis done on him. He was described as a psychopath, narcissist and having anti-social personality disorder. There are so many articles he's done since being in prison about how he's struggling in prison and wants to die so he can 'be with his children again' 😠😠 He's a manipulative control freak who wants to manipulate the situation and his image by continuing to claim he's innocent and that it was a neighbour who set the fire. completely delusional
As a Chilean, it really cannot be overstated how much the plane crash impacted the country. Not only did pretty much everyone watch calle 7 every night, as a family, but also Felipe Camiroaga was and is somewhat of a symbol, especially for elderly women of the country. Before hes death he was an idol, but after he became somewhat of a divine figure (not exaggerating, look up some photos of homemade shrines or calendars of him). Sad stuff all around, I vividly remember the night that I saw that calle 7 episode live, since I was around 8 years old or so, my mom made me and my sister get out of the kitchen and covered our ears so as to not hear.
@@lostsoul5043this comment caused me to look it up, to which the only data I could find that you COULD be talking about is 3% higher minor injury rate for female pilots. It got me thinking maybe the victims of male pilots die rather than receive minor injuries, to which I found an actual study on "pilot error" crashes which states males crash at a much higher rate, AND had a high fatality rate than female crashes due to pilot error. Id delete this if I were you and maybe move onto something else as a "factoid"
You sound silly. "I think this guy is terrible! Why? Because the media and TV told me he was. And I believe what the media says!" The media says a lot of things and the vast majority of it is untrue
Been reading about the ongoing Lucy Letby case this morning - this tipped me over the edge. It is so immensely sad and cruel of this man to harm his children, even unintentionally.
I'm chilean and i still remember how sudden and tragic this accident was for the country. people here specially loved Felipe Camiroaga, he was very charismatic and everyone who got to know him in person said that he was humble and a genuinely great guy despite being one of the most famous people in Chile at the time. may he and all the people who were in that plane rest in peace.
I was not expecting to see this as the first entry of the video and I still remember that some street vendors used to sell a lot of memorial merchandise even years after his death.
"Oh Jesus...... I think that was Scott" from the camera man watching his friends crash in the helicopter got me. It sounded like it physically took his breath away for a moment :(
A common early reaction to grief in my experience is hyper ventilation so yes, it did take his breath away. Such a tragic loss of life for no real reason other than corporations fighting for pointless ratings.
As a Chilean, thank you for including the plane crash. The morning show Felipe Camiroaga hosted was never the same again. And after a lengthy investigation, there are many questions yet to be answered.
My dad saw that broadcast in the 90s, he told me he was shaking and crying for the rest of that day and couldnt sleep for days. He also told me he still has nightmares about it to this day.
As someone who is into photography, there is something about documenting your last moments and preserving the last records of yourself and the people around you, when no one outside the plane would have otherwise shared your experience the same way, idk. It’s incredibly haunting, and yet there is something so genuine to it that almost makes it beautiful as well as horrifying. It’s the memories, and taking steps in your last moments to keep them safe, knowing that you won’t be there for when the people see them, but wanting to share your experience anyway. I’m not sure I’m wording this well. I don’t want to come off like I think it’s just beautiful and that i feel it’s not tragic and it very much is horrifying, to have any idea at all of what they were feeling, it’s tragic, but there is something so human about wanting others to know. It’s so very personal to preserve it for others, to share your last moments because you yourself won’t be there to remember them. To be remembered. To possibly share even a little of what it felt like. To do what you can to keep those images safe for others to see. I don’t know how to explain it, it’s moving. It’s expressive. It leaves your memory. You feel a connection and it’s incredibly tragic. It’s tragic that this is the last way they had to make a connection. It was deliberate as well. Those pictures weren’t taken by someone else, they were personal and intentionally shared with the people they left behind. It’s like a letter someone left behind in their last moments, but the story is told without words
I get what you mean. We see it here with the plane crash or with Robert Landsburg at the eruption of Mt. St Helens. These people knew, KNEW, they were going to die, and yet in the absence of hope they didn't despair they decided their last act on Earth was to document something absolutely no one else could and then make sure it would survive even if they didn't. It's just one of those utterly indescribable actions that just makes people human.
It's worth pointing out that Benoit did a lot more than just "strangle" Nancy. He drugged his son and had him die in his sleep, but Nancy was brutalized almost beyond recognition, and the crime scene was said to have looked almost like a tornado had gone through the house. She was conscious for the majority of the assault. -He had also killed the family's pets and left them inside the family pool, one of the final text messages he sent to Chavo Guerrero was "The dogs are in the enclosed pool area."- (Edit: He apparently didn't kill the dogs, he put them in the pool area on leash, probably so neighbors/police wouldn't be afraid to investigate the house. Bizarre) The case was so much worse than what was said in the video. You can listen to Nancy Benoit's sister talk more about it in-depth on an older episode of Chris Jericho's podcast, Talk is Jericho.
I think what hurts more is David Benoit (Chris’ first born) heard that his whole family all died. In an episode of Dark Side of The Ring, he said that one day him and Daniel would become Tag Team champions. That is just painful, the pain he has to live through to not only know that his parents and brother gone, but his Dad was the one that did it and has since been treated like dirt by other people because of it. From what I’ve seen he’s a good kid and he deserves better.
@ohioactually Why do some people think that other people dying is funny? Daniel is the one who was killed by the way. Chris is his oldest son. There is something wrong with you if you think people dying is funny.
It was horrific. Benoit was gone mentally at that point because of the damage to his brain over the years. Also, his son didn't just die in his sleep, he was put to sleep with drugs and then strangled.
We actually learned about that helicopter crash in Law School. It led to a big disucssion over whether the guy who started the chase should be held responsible and at what point could you hold someone responsible for other people's actions.
he shouldn’t be really the practices caused the accident these days all phoenix stations share the chopper and the people who fly them doesn’t have commentary only who ever reports at the studio
I had a similar debate (Not in a law education setting) about the exact same topic and accident. I said a strong prosecution could argue that he was the reason they were there and so charged with 4 counts of manslaughter in some degree.
I was 14 years old and saw it live when that man killed himself on live tv. It showed his brains splattering over the freeway and then let the dogs loose on him and ripped his leg apart. That man was clearly dead and when 14 year old me could tell he was dead
As a Chilean, i must say the death of Felipe Camiroaga still hurts, and this happened 13 years ago. He was such a great person and really beloved by everyone.
I remember the helicopter story. That man breaking down on camera really hits hard, and I really hope he, along with friends and family involved, is doing okay.
I still remember that first case. Felipe Camiroaga was incredibly famous and loved by everyone so his horrible death was devastating. I can tell you, even to this day if you talk about him you will notice a tint of sadness in the other person's voice. His merchandising is still selling on some parts.
for april fools day you should do a video where you talk about something silly and dumb but you use your same spooky narrating voice and treat it the same as your other videos that would be hilarious
@@LcashayloveNick has his little moments of being silly, so I don't think it would be out of character or anything, but I think he wouldn't do it because he has this account set up in a specific way. 🤔
And it's becoming even worst in Europe every year. The justice system is a joke, that protects the worst scums and punishes people who did genuine mistakes the most.
Its LITERALLY the meme of 'hey mate, you got a LOICENSE for that stabbing you are doing on me?, quite rude aint it lad?', with all its variants dumping on 'MUH Murrican schoolshooting LOLs'
Your coverage of the Benoit incident in such a short-form video part was masterful. It's one of those incidents that never made sense to anyone that it could happen. If you listened to anyone from 1990 to the incident they would tell you he was the most genuinely sweet man in the business. Just a totally insane moment in time. Lots of wrestlers to this day struggle with the guilt of loving the man so much that could do something so terrible.
I've nvr heard CB referred to as a sweet person. Highly Professional, driven, focused, dependable, and he'd let ya know quickly where ya stood w him. I've heard he had few real friends, & to them he was devoted. Lotta stuff, but nvr sweet lol RIP Benoit family
@@HeyIwasaValedictorianYou can’t tell Chris Benoit’s story without mentioning Eddie Guerrero who died shortly before Chris committed his shocking crime.
Now that we understand the extreme damage caused by concussions, there isn't really anything surprising about this tragedy at all. Most serial killers also are known to have suffered concussions with damage to the frontal lobe, which controls empathy and violent impulses.
These children DID NOT just “pass away”, when someone has “passed away” that’s more like an older person, or someone who’s been ill for awhile. But people need to call things as they are. And when someone has even BRUTALLY MURDERED, THAT IS NOT simply passing away.
The Chris Benoit situation is such a sad case. I didn't become a fan of wrestling until 2009, but my Dad has been a life long fan and was a big Benoit fan. I remember him being so upset, like not crying, but just sad he was gone. A fact left out of the video is that they actually got the details of the deaths being a murder/suicide during the actual tribute show. The following night on another WWE show (ECW), the WWE's owner Vince McMahon dedicated the show to those effected by Benoit's actions. WWE then proceeded to remove most mentions of Benoit from their website and has only made brief acknowledgments about him since then. They also offered little to no support for Benoit's other son, David Benoit or Nancy Benoit's sister who took Daniel in after everyone's passing. If there is one saving grace from all this, it's that because of Benoit, concussions in pro wrestling have been taken far more seriously since then, with moves that could potentially cause them being banned/rarely used.
The helicopter case made me remember the death of one of Brazil's biggest journalists Ricardo Boechat. He died of a helicopter accident right after presenting a morning show on the radio and later giving a talk. It was so heartbreaking to see all his fellow journalists grieving and crying as they gave the news of his death.
Correction for the last entry: they were not hooked to a polygraph during the show. They would take the test beforehand and be asked a ton of questions, only some of which were actually used in the show. The show would know if the answers were truthful or not based on the results of the earlier test.
Thanks for the info. It's important to know all the angles and I see this RUclipsr omitting or arranging information, in a deceitful manor. He may not be lying but he is manipulating the truth. Cheers
So she knew she would have to admit to all those horrible things and she STILL went on the show?! Jeez that makes me feel way less bad for her. How could she choose to put her family through such public humiliation?
Just a little heads up about this guys "sponsor". AURA is not what they say it is. Yes AURA submits requests to have your information pulled or kept out of the public eye, but the vast majority of it goes through anyhow, and whatever is already out there before AURA, stays out there. Don't waste your money people. If you are on the internet, your data is something you will never be able to fully or even partially keep private. Every time you visit a website, you give out some of your data, that is just how it works. The best way to avoid this is to not click accept on things you are not sure of, as many websites these days require you to submit your data. Save your money, and just be a little more careful to what you accept. Remember, they can't get it if you don't submit to it, and if you already did, that isn't going to magically disappear.
RUclipsr sponsorships are rarely good. These people are getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars by companies, so i doubt they'd turn down the offers. Especially from popular sponsors like AURA, Hello Fresh, and Air Up, which are already widely promoted by other youtubers. The only time these sponsorships stop is when someone exposes the companies, like what happened with betterhelp. It used to be in almost every single video until people revealed how awful the company was, and then youtubers stopped accepting sponsorships from them.
The guy burning himself to death didn’t disturb me half as much as him burning his dog to death right along with him. He could have given the dog to a loved one beforehand. He absolutely nullified any moral ground he was standing on.
i submitted a similar comment about another incident*, and was called a sociopath by someone. Irate Poster, i will do my best to live up to the title which you have bestowed on me. *the guy who killed a news reporter and her cameraman after he killed his own cats
@@seva7500bots don't usually edit their comments or know what the video is actually about You act more like a bot than anyone you're commenting bot emojis on
Also, for people who are wondering about the Phoenix Pursuit, the man was arrested and the park where the crash happened is now a memorial and phoenix now only has 2 news choppers that are rented by the station's and the only people allowed to do commentary are the people in the studio and also news choppers in the country are not allowed to fly over other choppers or under and must stay the same altitude as others to prevent something like this to happen again. (Also its KNXV not KNVX)
@kusuossecretgf5401 I just looked it up rn and yeah, the police was threatening to but he plead guilty and wasn't charged for there death so i was wrong.
Charging the guy for murder over an accident that he had no part of, and which was caused by the greed of TV stations who wanted to get "the perfect shot" of a car chase, is... fucked up.
Another important note about Chris Benoit is that he was severely depressed and (by all accounts) not the same after his best friend Eddie Guerrero passed away 2 years prior. There’s a moment during Eddie’s tribute show where Chris is giving his own testimonial and completely broke down by the end of it live. He was severely depressed, his performances in the ring weren’t as exceptional as they used to be, and he was just completely lost. The one silver lining in both instances is the effect both passings had on the business itself. Eddie’s death lead to more in depth drug tests due to him dying of steroid abuse from years prior, and Chris’ death lead to the banning of certain moves that involve damage to the head in order to prevent another tragedy like this from happening.
One person made the choice to end three lives. Two people including a child did not get to make that choice, so fuck Chris Benoit, they should've thrown his ass in a wood chipper and left out for scavengers. Anybody who tries to justify his actions deserve the same treatment his wife and child got
CTE also killed Dave Mirra and Aaron Hernandez. Chronic Tramatic Encephalitis. Continued damage and swelling to the brain can cause dementia like symptoms, aggressive and irrational behaviors, confusion and paranoid thoughts. Usually ends in suicide. Atleast these 3 did for sure. Some people can lose the ability to talk or move limbs. It's devastating to the ones experiencing their decline.
Benoit had lost a lot of close friends by the time even Eddie had passed, but Eddie definitely broke him. His heart was in terrible condition as well from decades of hardcore steroid and substance abuse, to the point his docs had informed him he didn't have a bright future in terms of longevity. Not only that, but his rocky marriage with Nancy, where both were physically violent with each other throughout their relationship (there was an incident in the 90s where Nancy stabbed Benoit during an intense argument) certainly didn't help matters.
As a wrestling fan, it always hurts when I'm reminded of the Benoit incident. What happened was just so... Senseless, and it was so shocking to learn how brutally they were taken from this world. Rest in Peace, Daniel and Nancy. Edited for correct name.
And Chris too, you might not been around as long as me but he loved those kids , the only thing that would make him do something like this is if he literally lost his mind (years of headshots , drugs, stress and losing his best friend and brother Eddie). Not defending his actions just not going to judge his whole life on the worst thing he’s ever done because he wasn’t him, he wasn’t in his right mind , unlike some we find out are just abusive (Jimmy Snooka)
As a Peruvian, thank you so much for including the Ruth's tragic case which shocked back in the days the Peruvian environment, it's still frustrating and horrid to know feminicides are still happening and theres no justice for the victims
Your coverage of these topics is second to none. You are one of the few content creators that I enjoy regardless of whether or not the topics have already been covered to death by others. Not only do you somehow manage to capture the minutia and connect dots that others do not, but your unique flair and story building make for prime viewing.
I’ll never forget the death of Felipe Camiroaga and Roberto Bruce. I remember staying glued to my TV as the search team looked for survivors. I remember the first large discoveries was Roberto Bruce and he was confirmed dead. I felt like somebody had kicked me in the stomach, and just seeing his face in this video made me cry. That’s a man that I watched every morning for years. Felipe is an idol here and they only discovered his arm. How did they know it was his? He had a very unique tattoo that was well known to his fans. Every year, the country is reminded of the tragedy and they mourn the loss of all those lives. It just hurt a bit more because two huge parts of our mornings were suddenly gone.
Same, remember I used to watch Felipe Camiroaga a lot in the morning, because his personality and his looks were a lot like my dad at the time, so when the news came, I was pale
I'm Argentine. We have TVN here in the south. I searched for him and it felt on me that it was THAT guy from "Buenos días a todos". I remember him very well. I can't imagine how it must have been in Chile.
I remember the Benoit situation. My dad actually got us tickets to see Raw on that day. We waited outside for a couple of hours, & eventually, officials came out to tell us the show was postponed, but they didn’t tell us why. When we drove home, we saw the memoriam. My dad told me what actually happened when the news broke. It was always an unsettling part of my life because he was one of my favorite wrestlers at the time. Just a tragic situation overall for his wife and child.
The sad part is that there's proof that Benoit was set up like Chavo Guerrero getting a recording of Chris Benoit sounding like he was struggling and also the fact that the day of his death was added to his Wikipedia page a day before he and his family died.
Felipe Camiroaga is still remembered till this day, people loved him and he was genuinely a really good guy in general. The news of the crash shocked us all in Chile.
came here to say the same thing. Felipe Camiroaga might be the most beloved tv figure here in Chile. Even though it's been almost 12 years since his tragic passing, people still talk about him a lot and remember him fondly
his passing still touches the hearts of Chileans to this day and that speaks highly of his person, on the other side because of how beloved he was many forget about the other lifes we lost that day. seeing their faces was hunting
I've been involved in studying head trauma and CTE, and the effects it has on families. It is truly chilling how many stories like Benoit's there are, and almost nobody talks about it because of the money involved in sports that are literally causing men's brains to kill them and their loved ones from the inside out.
Its funny how nobody talks about his abuse and the request his wife made for protection at their 2003 divorce. oh, but CTE, hes not an abusive piece of shit! "Because i love him, he wrestle good!" You might want to study better.
@mikeespinoza5733 they never said he wasn't abusive!! Nobody said that. The OP is saying CTE could be a reason for his abusive behavior. Huge difference between giving a reason and making an excuse.
@@babyturkey8342 yes, truly. So many women describe their loved ones changing into a totally different person, someone they didn't marry. It is incredibly difficult for them to go from having a loving husband to an extremely abusive situation because of this disease. Of course there may be abuse before CTE, I can't make claims about that, but it gets a hundred times worse, particularly in 4th stage CTE.

A cousin of mine had to fight for years to get his disability payments and meanwhile you see stories all the time about fraudsters and malingerers getting it.

Back somewhere around 1991, the Buffalo news showed a video of a newlywed couple who had taken a hot air balloon ride which ended in them slowly drifting into power lines. You could hear them screaming helplessly as they gently floated toward their deaths. It was so horrific that it haunts me to this day.
The Value of Truth show came to North America as The Moment of Truth and it pretty much ruined marriages and people’s lives, but it was never that gruesome as Ruth’s story. I’m surprised they even let that show air in both countries . I remember the NA version not lasting too long
It was a massive success here in Peru, even gaining comedy sketches in other programs, they would eventually invite famous people and such, but yeah, I remember feeling embarrassment when watching certain interviews
@ayo69420 In North America it only lasted two seasons. And they believe that it exploited relationships, and even exposed a polygamist colony. I don't think it was right for the American people. I feel Peru had an easier time with that show
@@lunarozegaming I think it's more comprehensible why it was a success when you notice that here we have A LOT of shows where they talk about gossip and other people's relationships (mostly famous) and for some reason, those shows are extremely successful. We have a problem with trash tv especially because it's almost the only thing you can watch on national television
I knew that Chris Benoit was eventually gonna be featured in this series. The Incident is still the most shocking, out of nowhere tragedy that I can know of. The fact he killed his wife, child and himself over a span of three days is beyond thought. WWE's tribute to him, unaware of his murder suicide, is so sickening to watch to this day. Sad fact about that Raw show was that it was gonna be a funeral proceedings for Vince McMahon's character who was "killed" in a limo explosion for a massive storyline.
WWE management was well aware of Benoit murdering his family and killing himself. Dave Meltzer, Phil Mushnick, and the police correspondence after the event show that WWE management knew well before the tribute was planned. If Nick wants to cover Dark moments in TV concerning wrestling, he can show all the references on broadcast then WWF talent made about Mel Phillips, who Vince McMahon and other higher ups knew was running a child sex exploitation ring with other WWF personnel.
@@amandajardine5818his and Prichard Colon… I think that one was on live TV I’m not 100% sure though, but he entered an almost completely vegetative state after receiving multiple illegal blows to the back of the head. His entire face changed, it’s so sad.
what bugs me about the whole thing is, ive heard ppl say "he was mentally ill, he would never hurt them otherwise" while that may be so, he choked the life out of his baby. strangling someone is a really personal (for want of a better word) way to end someone, like you really have to have hatred to do that. i dunno, i just cant get passed it
Ruth's death filled me with such sadness and dread. Money will cause anyone to do anything, it was heartbreaking to hear what she had to do to survive and that it had to be plastered on television for weeks on end.
whats even more sad is that during that time people didnt know how easy it was to trick and pass a polygraph test and lie the entire time. i have a family member who is a drug user and many years ago he was brought into the station for questioning and given a polygraph test numerous times. he passed it every single time despite being 100% guilty of exactly what they were after him for. ultimately he had to go to court for something and the judge asked for a polygraph test and he bragged that he has beaten them so many times that this one would be no different and her proved them right. they asked for his legal name, his address and even the color shirt he was wearing and he lied the whole time to prove he could. needless to say he did get charged of multiple crimes related to drug usage and had to pay a hefty fine as well. so for a show like "the value of truth" a person with the right mentality and determination could easily lie their way passed the polygraph and win all the money the show would offer. there is a very good reason why a polygraph is no longer used in courts to prove innocent or guilt, they can be manipulated easily and a nervous person who is in fact innocent can fail it despite being honest. its sad that she died, but thats also what happens when you're honest and admit on live TV that your lover means nothing to you and is just a place holder for a bigger fish. she didnt deserve to die of course but she knew the risks involved.
Don't know if it's been said in the comments, but there was a show exactly like "The Value Of Truth" that aired in the US in January 2008 called "The Moment Of Truth" but was cancelled 7 months later. In the show's 5th episode, Lauren Cleri, just like Ruth, admitted to many heartbreaking deeds, including cheating on her husband. This was a very good accounting of all these tragic events
an unaired episode (the only contestant to win in game in the states) said that he thought her own dad was a pedophile. The question was more like did you feel like your dad ever had sex with a minor as an adult but the implication was obvious.
Hey this is off the subject but you might be able to help me. Why would the commenter above (or anyone) be throwing around conservative nutjob conspiracy theories? WEIRDOES do this (we all know) and it would seem it's a statement of how out-of-touch with reality and uneducated he is. That would also explain his horrible grammar 🤷♂ WTAF, not me
It's crazy that someone created a "fake" wiki entry that Benoit was dead before anyone knew they were dead, and the person that did so was traced back to Stamford, CT, where WWE is headquartered.
It wasn't actually a "fake" entry, there's a pretty solid documentary on here I believe called "The Benoit Files" that looks into different theories like the Benoit wiki entry. Turns out it was some fan who happened to be in Stamford that saw it on a wrestling forum then decided to post it on Wikipedia without doing proper research beforehand.
there was another factor at play for the benoit tragedy: eddie Guerrero. eddie was a fellow wrestler and chris' best friend in the world. a year before, eddie died in his hotel room, found by his nephew, chavo. when chavo called chris, who was in the same hotel and was waiting for him to come down for a group work out, he told him what happened and let out a gutteral scream that chavo never knew chris could make. needless to say, eddie's death had a massive impact upon him but it was felt that he never got the chance to mourn for him.
I remember the day of the Chilean accident. It was a huge deal. To this day the whole thing is remembered as an extremely sad moment, and Felipe Camiroaga is still a beloved and respected figure in the entertainment industry. Fans of his are even self called Widows because of how loved he was.
@@rydz656shut up. El accidente ocurrió porque cargaron menos combustible del necesario para llevar más carga, lo cual fue completamente irresponsable e innecesario. Además del clima que dificultó el aterrizaje en primer lugar. Hay varios factores aparte de la poca experiencia de la piloto pero no tiene nada que ver con ser mujer 🙄
For me, my darkest memory on TV was 9.11. I’m not an American and I was living in Korea at that time but I still remember getting goosebumps while watching the news. It felt so surreal. Ironically, exactly 4 years later, I gave birth to my son.
I'm from America and my mom says she has videotape recordings of the news at the time of the incident. I hadn't seen them yet but I want to, just to see another perspective of it.
America hasn't been the same since 9/11. If The U S will do its own citizens so dirty imagine the hidden political agendas taking place in foreign affairs.
@@joshklaver47 the world is messed up. very, very messed up. but it doesn’t mean we should all just stop living and extinct. not everytjing about the world is messed up and not everyone’s life is messed up.
I think something that makes the last chapter so much darker is the context of culture. There is no way that network, that production, that host, didnt know those last two questions would put her life in danger. And yet the show went on to have a successful run until they just faded in popularity. No reflection, no repercussions.
The value of Truth is especially haunting when you realized not only both its Peruvian inversion has had dark content but also its American remake as well which had a very dark daughter and father subplot in which the father was revealed to have married a underage wife. So it's kind of shocking that both versions of the series have their own dark twisted content. But I guess that goes to show what you could expect when you strap somebody to chair with a polygraph test and prove them with the darkest possible questions imaginable. Eventually you're going to poke the pinata just right and I was going to pop out something horrifying
a kinda "fun fact" for the Peruvian version: After this incident, the show started to interview famous people in Peruvian TV cuz they would have security and of course, an incident like violence or just a smirk would be the talk for weeks
Tbh it's only more telling of how women are in today's world. It's easier to lie and be complacent and wait for something better than to actually work to better what you already HAVE. I hope her guilt ate her alive
@@DarknessUnresolvedYour opinion. Demons are VERY real and you'll see that sooner than later. What is your point in trying to "correct" someone's opinion?
31:08 keep in mind that polygraphs are not allowed as evidence in US courts and are considered pseudoscience, along with being able to be easily beaten...as Mythbusters and others have shown.
The guy who invented it said it didn't work, and asked law enforcement not to use it. All a polygraph does is tell you someone is nervous but people get nervous even when they tell the truth so yeah it's a trash machine that unfortunately got hundreds of thousands of people locked away never to be seen again. Got to love it when the inventor is saying please don't use this and lazy law enforcement was like naw.
The Chris Benoit story has always troubled me. I was in high school when I first heard of it, my sister and brother in law are huge wrestling fans. It just troubled me how something so many people see as fake can mess up someone this badly
because it isn’t “fake”. It’s scripted. Y’all be acting like it a cartoon 😂😂😂😂 that man was doing headbutts off a rope. more CTE giving than a NFL player getting hit.
They only think it is fake because Vince McMahon has said it was- gone back on that-- and then gone back on going back on it- several times since 1986, depending on which answer suits him financially at the time.
@@jessewilley531I mean, the storylines are indeed fake but most of the stuff they do in-ring aren't. They still put their bodies under a lot of stress when they pull off most moves. Benoit's steroid abuse and the diving headbutts he did attributed to him losing his mind and led to him killing his family and himself. There's a reason why the move isn't used much anymore after the incident.
The helicopter thing is insane. They both wanted the same shot. All that air space, and you end hitting the only other thing in it. Kind of hard to imagine.
A thing not mentioned in this video is the reporter you're hearing talking from the air and the helicopter pilot were one in same. The cameramen in each helicopters weren't the reporters, but the pilots were. Back then regulations were lax and to save money the pilots themselves were expected to both fly the aircraft and report on the situation on the ground. This led to a situation where news helicopter pilots were regularly distracted with literally trying to do two jobs at once, all swarming around the same general area of the crime scenes. This was more of a case of an inevitable tragedy rather than a freak accident.
@@TheRealCeeJai That in and of itself isn't inherently the problem. Don't get me wrong, it ain't great, but they did have procedures for who would occupy what area, and there would usually be communication between them. Several of them probably knew each other or were friends. But it was that with the combination of pilots being the reporters instead of solely dedicated to flying safely ultimately led to it
Fun fact, The Value of Truth had a almost completely similar show named Moment of Truth where one lady went out on stage and practically admitted to not loving her husband and wanting to be with her ex on live TV.
It’s the same program, only being made in another country. It happens all the time to have the same show being filmed in many different parts of the world with their own language and citizens.
Oh yeah I've seen that show before. They ask the contestants the most personal questions set up deliberately to potentially ruin their relationships. It's kinda messed up, but pretty entertaining.
Whats even more sad about the Chris Bennoit incident is that the media instead of focusing on the family & victims ( being his wife & son ) they used the tragedy to say steroids or other things even before the brain scan was done were involved while sometimes barely or not even bringing up the two innocent lives that were lost. While steroid use / drug use in pro wrestling is of course a bad thing, the loss of those two should not have been used like that.
Exactly, the amount of misinformation and ugly terms like roid-rage that still persist decades later is so telling at how persistent media damage and lies can be in the name of a more sensational story.
CTE is always a no-no whenever discussing anything full contact sports at least up until the mid 2010s. The WWE and NFL used to try and throw as much litigation against news agencies whenever they would come up as motive especially whenever it was becoming apparent that was the case in a lot of former wrestlers and players un-aliving or other extreme behavior (i.e. Junior Seau's death and the letter stating he wanted his brain scanned as to why he did it (severe CTE), the whole Antonio Brown saga, and Razor Ramon's drug abuse and 2nd Degree Murder charge in the 80s). The news agencies would just say drug/steroid abuse back then just cause they feared that they would get sued into oblivion.
I don’t think it would have looked good for them to focus on the victims too much because people would assume they were doing it to get off the hook and/or to look good amidst the tragedy. Sometimes people just want privacy for their deceased loved ones too, they wouldn’t want all the attention.
It's sad how so few people will ever discuss what his wife did to create the situation. Everyone will only ever talk about his "unexpected mental breakdown," and ignore the destruction of his family being created by his own wife that he stopped the only way he knew how
@@jasonl8720 So how exactly did she create the 'destruction of the family' ? what did she do ? You say "It's sad how so few people will ever discuss what his wife did to create the situation" but then don't explain it yourself ! and you say "that he stopped the only way he knew how" ? what ? what was she doing that killing her and the child were the only way to stop it ?? Please explain !
3:44 Chilean here, with only one correction: Romina Irarrázaval, the person who took the photos upon impact, was a woman (Romina is a female name). Everything else is perfectly explained, great job.
14:55 I can't imagine a plan as evil as this one. To willingly put kids life in danger so they could look like heroes, frame someone else, and then take all the custody they wanted. I'm glad he is in prison for the rest of his life, he is very dangerous.
The helicopter crash is chilling not just for the crash itself but in a lot of the videos, hearing the other anchors breaking down is just heart wrenching. One guy had to hold himself back from having a panic attack live on air before then trying to hold back from crying. It just shows you how close these anchors are in terms of knowing each other and watching something like that happen live would have broken anyone. What's worse is that during the first footage, there's a sound that I don't know is just the equipment static or someone SCREAMING and....it's just unthinkable.
As a Chilean I remember clearly when I saw live the interruption of the program "Calle 7" to announce the unexpected death of that TV crew and with them the life of Felipe Camiroaga. He was considered one of the nicest, most charismatic and iconic people in Chilean television and with his loss I noticed how the quality of television itself dropped considerably. He is still remembered to this day
What his ILLNESS did to his family! If he had gotten diagnosed in time and gotten the medical help he so desperately needed, he and his wife and son would all still be alive!
Thabk fot covering Camiroaga and the tvn's crew accident, they were loved here, Felipe is like a saint nowadays, he always did good stuff for the community
Man, I remember when the first one happened. I was on my first uni year and I remember everyone was so devastated. Damn, was not expecting to revisit this one on this video. I had no idea that Romina (she was a camerawoman) hid the sd on a bottle. Thanks for shedding some light on some international disturbing tv moments. It's always interesting to watch.
Apparently Romina didn't put it in there herself but the diver who found the sd card did. I found this in a translated article: "Romina Irarrázabal's brother, said that he was told that "the theory is that the person who rescued the memory, as a way of preserving it , he put it in a bottle of distilled or tap water, to avoid corrosion from seawater" ."
I'm from Phoenix and I saw that broadcast live when those helicopters collided. I was a kid then but it was so surreal. I remember my Nana yelling at the tv and then just hearing the news anchors crying. It was very chilling because usually news broadcasters are professional and don't show too much emotion but that day the curtain fell down and we saw raw grief, it was horrifying. I think they canceled the rest of the tv broadcasts that day and spent that time talking about the news crew they lost. So sad.
Since you spoke of Chris Benoit, you should totally speak about Owen Hart. He died ON AIR bc they didn't ensure everything was safe and he was coming down from the rafters. Worse is they basically deleted Owen from WWE overall and they STILL have the video in their vault. They refuse to destroy it.
They can't get rid of it as long as it's possible they'll face further lawsuits. If they destroy it and another lawsuit is filed it wont go well for them. It's a Corporate responsibility thing.
owen hart's wife martha is why wwe won't talk about him. she refuses to let the company that killed him earn a profit using his name and likeness, and rightfully so.
@@JayJay-nr2gk especially bc martha even said in their dark side of the ring episode that owen fully trusted wwe and never doubted that they would keep him safe :(((((
@alyllcat yep but as we all know wwe fucked up then and still do a bit now the equipment he was using malfunctioned sending owen hart to his death it was a pay per view so most saw it live
My family and I had tickets to that show in Corpus Christi, and I was genuinely not upset knowing about what had happened, even feeling bad for Beniot. Of course, knowing what I know now, i can't say much about my respect for Beniot. As someone who is now training to be in the industry, speaking with guys who wrestled him and knew him, they all say the same thing. They say yes, he was a great performer, but he killed his family and that's not something people can just excuse.
A TBI doesn't excuse someone's actions, but I think it's fine to appreciate someone's life or career within the context of knowing what they dealt with. I've known a few individuals with Alzheimer's, and it turned them into totally different people. They could be angry, belligerent, or change moods on a dime. Those memories suck, but it doesn't change the fact they were wonderful people before their illness took over. I'll admit I'm not a big pro wrestling fan. Do they screen for TBIs or take other precautions to ensure something like this doesn't happen again? Either way, I hope you're staying safe while training and have a great career ahead in the industry.
@@profoundpunk Because of this there have been numerous moves blacklisted and banned, although I'm a huge fan of hardcore wrestling, I think I'm going to do more brawling styles without the chairs and tables. Also, if you notice in the highlight reel he had a move where he would headbutt his opponents, and yeah, wrestling's scripted, but I want to avoid headbutts as much as possible.
sounds like they’re trying to protect the industry. proof being they no longer allow certain moves. things did change after that. would it be so hard to admit Benoit took one too many bumps to the head?
The crazy part is my grandpa was actually coworkers with Daniel Jones, which ended in a Christmas party where he had a mental breakdown. Lost his job because of it. This was a few years before he actually committed suicide. A week before it happened he asked my grandpa for a job, but with his track record and mental instability it was not a good idea unfortunately. As my grandpa watched live it was very unsettling as he watched it happen. Edit: also his dog was apparently a really good dog lol
He was right about HMOs being ruthless, but he was cruel in the end, leaving his dog to burn to death. Sad that he wanted to kill himself, but that animal was innocent
Yeah was about to comment on how nobody empathized with him whatsoever and kept cursing him for what happened to his dog but I see nothing has changed.
31:00 this is basically the moment of truth for anyone who has watched it. The questions are extremely intrusive, harsh, and controversial meant to cause mental harm to her, her loved ones, and damage any relationships she has in real life
I feel like having her parents and boyfriend on the show wasn’t really a smart decision. It’s one thing being brutally honest, it’s another when the people you love is sitting a few feet away from you.
@@Uuyrijies1123 nah most ppl just move on from unpleasant events like her parents did. she got the money she needed in the end, its the piece of shits fault for killing her.
@@Uuyrijies1123yeah but unfortunately that is the main attraction of the show. You have to admit to things that your loved ones are going to be hurt, or embarrassed by.
The last story was the most saddest to me. Not a freak accident, or mental breakdown, but a poor human being. That was exploited because she was born to poverty and low class education. She then is murdered by a lowlife brute as a consequence of being exploited on national tv for giving honest and humiliating answers to perversely designed questions.
@@malachitep4276its not a sane take . She wasn’t exploited on national Television at all. If anything its was humiliating to her loved ones. Its sad for her
@@abiolaakorede1509it's still exploitation actually. She was desperate for money and was willing to humiliate herself for it. I feel sorry for her. That scumbag was just mad because he was embarrassed too
"lowlife brute" was humiliated infront of millions as his scummy girlfriend admitted to cheating multiple times so she could get some money. It's pretty clear how someone could mentally snap in that situation. (I'm not justifying murder)
I love this series. I mean, I don’t “love” the morbid cases documented obviously. But there’s something absolutely eerie about these videos that exemplifies a sort of “evil” or sinister energy in this world that’s way more real and tangible than some ghost or monster video. I must also commend the editing and narration. Great stuff.
Although the majority of these are very distressing, and saddening, the clip where the guy abandoned the car and took a stroll while checking his phone did get a chuckle out of me.

The whole situation is really disappointing as this was one of my best performing videos before it was taken down, but I’m just happy it’s back up again.🙏🏻
Ok
TBH, the steps that WWE took to hide this was baffling. And the fact that that Chris Benoit isn't even available in things such as video games and movies is even more upsetting. Regardless of what happened, he is still a part of history. I mean look at calligula. The Borgia family. Bill fuckin Clinton lol

For those who don't know: it used to be that the pilots flying news helicopters were responsible for reporting too. This crash changed a lot, now reporting is done by reporters and not the pilots.
Yes, people like Bob Tur became professionals at both piloting and reporting at the same time, a one man army in the sky. They had cameras on a dome under the chopper to both monitor the live shot and the aircraft at the same time. Eventually due to cost news agencies would have a pilot/cameraman combo and the pilot would narrate what the cameraman is also taping.
you sometimes saw that in films and i always wonderes why they wouldnt just let other people report
Why thinking about safety when you can save a few dollars?...
Seems like common sense.
Rules and regulations are written in the blood of others.
When I clicked on this, I was not expecting to see coverage of an accident involving someone I knew. Rick Krolak, the cameraman for channel 15 in the helicopter crash (13:07), was my cousin's father and my uncle before he and my aunt divorced. I remember being at my university when my mom called me with the news. There is now a memorial for the two pilots and two cameramen in the park where they crashed.
sorry about your family's loss.
I'm so sorry for your loss. That is awful.
That footage was shocking. So sad. RiP
Oh my! 😮 You poor little sweetie. You’re doing alright, I hope. 😢
@@L33TRedNinja My experience was nothing compared to that of my cousin. He was 14 at the time, and it was very difficult for him to lose his father so suddenly. I still remember the funeral service. Another one of Rick's children from a previous marriage had also had their toddler pass away only shortly before that, so they were having a very hard time as well. This was 16 years ago. My cousin now has a career in journalism like his father.
"I think it was scott" that just hurts even more hearing him panicking because of that helicopter collision. I feel so bad for everyone that was effected by that crash.
I remember coming home that day and seeing the crash on the Tv screen. My mother just happened to be working by those offices at the time. She saw the smoke and fire up close. It was a sobering day for Arizonans indeed.
What needs to be mentioned is that despite the accident, the rest of the helicopters kept in close communication to prevent more incidents. Seeing people stay professional while watching their friends and colleges pass is… chilling. Respect to them all.

As far as the Benoit situation, William Regal lived very close to Benoit, so he was intimately familiar with the domestic problems Chris and Nancy had been having. He’d been called on a couple of occasions to calm Benoit down when he was angry or upset. So, Regal knew a lot more than everyone else at the memorial show, which is why he made the very vague and somewhat cryptic comments about him and his family.
Yes! I remember hearing about this in the VICE documentary.
Crash Holly was also known to be the other person who was the target of his mood swings until his and his family's deaths. He was the last to be invited to his home, and became enraged when Crash didn't come to his invitation.
Had Crash came, he would be either stopped the rampage, or died alongside Nancy and Daniel.
@@Hinata0928Crash Holly died in 2003...did you mean Hardcore Holly?
Yeah this video was the first time I’ve ever heard anything about JBL putting those thoughts in Regals head.
Problem with that is there were reports of the family being stalked by someone and I believe it was kevin Sullivan he couldn't leave nancy alone so he hired hitmen to take them out the crime scene by some of the investigators said it looked like a hired hit
The helicopter collision is probably the most devastating thing I've seen in a while. The reactions of the friends and coworkers of the four men who perished is heartbreaking, and I only wish peace to those who passed away.
I can second that notion, though that's more to it being more of a local event that I was aware of myself more than certain international events in question.
The only good thing to come out of that situation is they hit an empty area
It's tragic but was most likely the best way it could of unfolded :(
Hearing the genuine distress of that reporter really hit hard. I can't imagine how painful that moment must have been
It hurted as a nation, people were mourning all over the country
that scream was right before they cut off fully was extremely eerie
As someone from the UK Mick Philpott is much much eviler than described here. There’s documentaries about the family before the fire and it’s heartbreaking to see the kids running around carefree not knowing what was waiting for them.
Was there ever a mental evaluation of why he was like this?
@@thedesensitizedsympathizer5307 I remember reading about a psychological analysis done on him. He was described as a psychopath, narcissist and having anti-social personality disorder.

As a Chilean, it really cannot be overstated how much the plane crash impacted the country. Not only did pretty much everyone watch calle 7 every night, as a family, but also Felipe Camiroaga was and is somewhat of a symbol, especially for elderly women of the country. Before hes death he was an idol, but after he became somewhat of a divine figure (not exaggerating, look up some photos of homemade shrines or calendars of him). Sad stuff all around, I vividly remember the night that I saw that calle 7 episode live, since I was around 8 years old or so, my mom made me and my sister get out of the kitchen and covered our ears so as to not hear.

The study found that females employed by major airlines had significantly higher accident rates than their male counterparts overall.
@@lostsoul5043this comment caused me to look it up, to which the only data I could find that you COULD be talking about is 3% higher minor injury rate for female pilots.

Been reading about the ongoing Lucy Letby case this morning - this tipped me over the edge. It is so immensely sad and cruel of this man to harm his children, even unintentionally.
@mooncricket8192and Hitler was just joking when he murdered millions of innocent people
Yeah
To quote Paul Heyman on the Chris Benoit incident: "Three died that nights and only one of them had a choice." Really morbid, but so true...
Benoit did it because of the head trauma and the drugs he frequently consumed. He obviously wasn't himself during it but he still did it.
I'm chilean and i still remember how sudden and tragic this accident was for the country. people here specially loved Felipe Camiroaga, he was very charismatic and everyone who got to know him in person said that he was humble and a genuinely great guy despite being one of the most famous people in Chile at the time. may he and all the people who were in that plane rest in peace.
me too, i was only a child at the time but i still remember how sad everyone was. it was so sudden, too :(
I was not expecting to see this as the first entry of the video and I still remember that some street vendors used to sell a lot of memorial merchandise even years after his death.
@@TheMrCtoeromg yes, they had calendars! i specifically remember seeing towels with felipito's face on it lmao

Did you comment this right when this was posted?
"Oh Jesus...... I think that was Scott" from the camera man watching his friends crash in the helicopter got me. It sounded like it physically took his breath away for a moment :(
A common early reaction to grief in my experience is hyper ventilation so yes, it did take his breath away. Such a tragic loss of life for no real reason other than corporations fighting for pointless ratings.
As a Chilean, thank you for including the plane crash. The morning show Felipe Camiroaga hosted was never the same again. And after a lengthy investigation, there are many questions yet to be answered.
My dad saw that broadcast in the 90s, he told me he was shaking and crying for the rest of that day and couldnt sleep for days. He also told me he still has nightmares about it to this day.
Beta male!

The HMO guy with this dog? Yeah, I was traumatized for a while after seeing it. I remember it very vividly.
Whatawuss
I saw it, I certainly didn’t cry about it. And I forgot about until this video.
As someone who is into photography, there is something about documenting your last moments and preserving the last records of yourself and the people around you, when no one outside the plane would have otherwise shared your experience the same way, idk. It’s incredibly haunting, and yet there is something so genuine to it that almost makes it beautiful as well as horrifying. It’s the memories, and taking steps in your last moments to keep them safe, knowing that you won’t be there for when the people see them, but wanting to share your experience anyway. I’m not sure I’m wording this well. I don’t want to come off like I think it’s just beautiful and that i feel it’s not tragic and it very much is horrifying, to have any idea at all of what they were feeling, it’s tragic, but there is something so human about wanting others to know. It’s so very personal to preserve it for others, to share your last moments because you yourself won’t be there to remember them. To be remembered. To possibly share even a little of what it felt like. To do what you can to keep those images safe for others to see. I don’t know how to explain it, it’s moving. It’s expressive. It leaves your memory. You feel a connection and it’s incredibly tragic. It’s tragic that this is the last way they had to make a connection. It was deliberate as well. Those pictures weren’t taken by someone else, they were personal and intentionally shared with the people they left behind. It’s like a letter someone left behind in their last moments, but the story is told without words
I get what you mean. We see it here with the plane crash or with Robert Landsburg at the eruption of Mt. St Helens. These people knew, KNEW, they were going to die, and yet in the absence of hope they didn't despair they decided their last act on Earth was to document something absolutely no one else could and then make sure it would survive even if they didn't. It's just one of those utterly indescribable actions that just makes people human.
@@mousepariah3884 exactly

Same here, this is what I love yet tragically note about photos like these as someone who's in love with the medium of it.
I know what you mean. I'm here alone and when they said about how he put it in the water bottle, out loud I articulated, awwww.
It's worth pointing out that Benoit did a lot more than just "strangle" Nancy. He drugged his son and had him die in his sleep, but Nancy was brutalized almost beyond recognition, and the crime scene was said to have looked almost like a tornado had gone through the house. She was conscious for the majority of the assault. -He had also killed the family's pets and left them inside the family pool, one of the final text messages he sent to Chavo Guerrero was "The dogs are in the enclosed pool area."- (Edit: He apparently didn't kill the dogs, he put them in the pool area on leash, probably so neighbors/police wouldn't be afraid to investigate the house. Bizarre) The case was so much worse than what was said in the video. You can listen to Nancy Benoit's sister talk more about it in-depth on an older episode of Chris Jericho's podcast, Talk is Jericho.
I think what hurts more is David Benoit (Chris’ first born) heard that his whole family all died.
In an episode of Dark Side of The Ring, he said that one day him and Daniel would become Tag Team champions.
That is just painful, the pain he has to live through to not only know that his parents and brother gone, but his Dad was the one that did it and has since been treated like dirt by other people because of it. From what I’ve seen he’s a good kid and he deserves better.
@@BrickFighter13daniel got killed by chris 😂 he got strangled to death by daddy😂
@ohioactually he's still alive...
@ohioactually Why do some people think that other people dying is funny? Daniel is the one who was killed by the way. Chris is his oldest son. There is something wrong with you if you think people dying is funny.
It was horrific. Benoit was gone mentally at that point because of the damage to his brain over the years. Also, his son didn't just die in his sleep, he was put to sleep with drugs and then strangled.
We actually learned about that helicopter crash in Law School. It led to a big disucssion over whether the guy who started the chase should be held responsible and at what point could you hold someone responsible for other people's actions.
he shouldn’t be really the practices caused the accident these days all phoenix stations share the chopper and the people who fly them doesn’t have commentary only who ever reports at the studio
tbh why most aircrafts require 2 pilots!!
I had a similar debate (Not in a law education setting) about the exact same topic and accident. I said a strong prosecution could argue that he was the reason they were there and so charged with 4 counts of manslaughter in some degree.
pretty sure the pilot not paying attention is liable. or the studio who tells their pilots to watch the ground and not their position.
That's a huge stretch. Glad this bs didn't make into court.
I was 14 years old and saw it live when that man killed himself on live tv. It showed his brains splattering over the freeway and then let the dogs loose on him and ripped his leg apart. That man was clearly dead and when 14 year old me could tell he was dead

As a Chilean, i must say the death of Felipe Camiroaga still hurts, and this happened 13 years ago. He was such a great person and really beloved by everyone.
Felipito por siempre ♥️
I remember the helicopter story. That man breaking down on camera really hits hard, and I really hope he, along with friends and family involved, is doing okay.
I still remember that first case. Felipe Camiroaga was incredibly famous and loved by everyone so his horrible death was devastating. I can tell you, even to this day if you talk about him you will notice a tint of sadness in the other person's voice. His merchandising is still selling on some parts.

Mick Philpott is a good example of how bad the English legal system is. Getting 7 year for stabbing someone 12 times is ridiculous.
And it's becoming even worst in Europe every year. The justice system is a joke, that protects the worst scums and punishes people who did genuine mistakes the most.
Its LITERALLY the meme of 'hey mate, you got a LOICENSE for that stabbing you are doing on me?, quite rude aint it lad?', with all its variants dumping on 'MUH Murrican schoolshooting LOLs'

Your coverage of the Benoit incident in such a short-form video part was masterful. It's one of those incidents that never made sense to anyone that it could happen. If you listened to anyone from 1990 to the incident they would tell you he was the most genuinely sweet man in the business. Just a totally insane moment in time. Lots of wrestlers to this day struggle with the guilt of loving the man so much that could do something so terrible.
I've nvr heard CB referred to as a sweet person. Highly Professional, driven, focused, dependable, and he'd let ya know quickly where ya stood w him. I've heard he had few real friends, & to them he was devoted. Lotta stuff, but nvr sweet lol RIP Benoit family
@@HeyIwasaValedictorianYou can’t tell Chris Benoit’s story without mentioning Eddie Guerrero who died shortly before Chris committed his shocking crime.
There is still a rumor floating around that, Kevin Sullivan had something to do with this. But has never been proven.
Now that we understand the extreme damage caused by concussions, there isn't really anything surprising about this tragedy at all. Most serial killers also are known to have suffered concussions with damage to the frontal lobe, which controls empathy and violent impulses.
Never underestimate how sick and broken somebody is inside, you’d be surprised how truly different one is
These children DID NOT just “pass away”, when someone has “passed away” that’s more like an older person, or someone who’s been ill for awhile. But people need to call things as they are. And when someone has even BRUTALLY MURDERED, THAT IS NOT simply passing away.
if you use more violent wording more often youtube's system will flag the video and take it down or age restrict it.

You may be right but nick quite literally cannot say anything to graphic
He can’t say “killed” because RUclips would demonetize the video.
The Chris Benoit situation is such a sad case. I didn't become a fan of wrestling until 2009, but my Dad has been a life long fan and was a big Benoit fan. I remember him being so upset, like not crying, but just sad he was gone. A fact left out of the video is that they actually got the details of the deaths being a murder/suicide during the actual tribute show. The following night on another WWE show (ECW), the WWE's owner Vince McMahon dedicated the show to those effected by Benoit's actions. WWE then proceeded to remove most mentions of Benoit from their website and has only made brief acknowledgments about him since then. They also offered little to no support for Benoit's other son, David Benoit or Nancy Benoit's sister who took Daniel in after everyone's passing. If there is one saving grace from all this, it's that because of Benoit, concussions in pro wrestling have been taken far more seriously since then, with moves that could potentially cause them being banned/rarely used.
Thought the son died too?
@@stephaniepombo70he had another son from a previous marriage. He wasn’t mentioned very much.

@nicktasteless360 3 children actually. David has a sister that is almost never mentioned. You can see his previous family at 2004 Backlash.
The helicopter case made me remember the death of one of Brazil's biggest journalists Ricardo Boechat. He died of a helicopter accident right after presenting a morning show on the radio and later giving a talk.
It was so heartbreaking to see all his fellow journalists grieving and crying as they gave the news of his death.
Oh my gosh.
Correction for the last entry: they were not hooked to a polygraph during the show. They would take the test beforehand and be asked a ton of questions, only some of which were actually used in the show. The show would know if the answers were truthful or not based on the results of the earlier test.
Except they wouldn’t because polygraphs are nonsense
Facts 💯

Just a little heads up about this guys "sponsor". AURA is not what they say it is. Yes AURA submits requests to have your information pulled or kept out of the public eye, but the vast majority of it goes through anyhow, and whatever is already out there before AURA, stays out there. Don't waste your money people. If you are on the internet, your data is something you will never be able to fully or even partially keep private. Every time you visit a website, you give out some of your data, that is just how it works. The best way to avoid this is to not click accept on things you are not sure of, as many websites these days require you to submit your data.
Save your money, and just be a little more careful to what you accept. Remember, they can't get it if you don't submit to it, and if you already did, that isn't going to magically disappear.

RUclipsr sponsorships are rarely good. These people are getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars by companies, so i doubt they'd turn down the offers. Especially from popular sponsors like AURA, Hello Fresh, and Air Up, which are already widely promoted by other youtubers. The only time these sponsorships stop is when someone exposes the companies, like what happened with betterhelp. It used to be in almost every single video until people revealed how awful the company was, and then youtubers stopped accepting sponsorships from them.

Charging the guy for murder over an accident that he had no part of, and which was caused by the greed of TV stations who wanted to get "the perfect shot" of a car chase, is... fucked up.
You can hear someone screaming @12:51, most probably an employee in the studio, sounding like a very distraught "WHY" sends chills down my spine.
The scream from the helicopter crew right at the end is so haunting.
Another important note about Chris Benoit is that he was severely depressed and (by all accounts) not the same after his best friend Eddie Guerrero passed away 2 years prior. There’s a moment during Eddie’s tribute show where Chris is giving his own testimonial and completely broke down by the end of it live. He was severely depressed, his performances in the ring weren’t as exceptional as they used to be, and he was just completely lost. The one silver lining in both instances is the effect both passings had on the business itself. Eddie’s death lead to more in depth drug tests due to him dying of steroid abuse from years prior, and Chris’ death lead to the banning of certain moves that involve damage to the head in order to prevent another tragedy like this from happening.
Thank you for the context.
One person made the choice to end three lives. Two people including a child did not get to make that choice, so fuck Chris Benoit, they should've thrown his ass in a wood chipper and left out for scavengers. Anybody who tries to justify his actions deserve the same treatment his wife and child got
What are your thoughts on how almost every family annihilator is named Chris?
CTE also killed Dave Mirra and Aaron Hernandez. Chronic Tramatic Encephalitis. Continued damage and swelling to the brain can cause dementia like symptoms, aggressive and irrational behaviors, confusion and paranoid thoughts. Usually ends in suicide. Atleast these 3 did for sure. Some people can lose the ability to talk or move limbs. It's devastating to the ones experiencing their decline.
Benoit had lost a lot of close friends by the time even Eddie had passed, but Eddie definitely broke him. His heart was in terrible condition as well from decades of hardcore steroid and substance abuse, to the point his docs had informed him he didn't have a bright future in terms of longevity. Not only that, but his rocky marriage with Nancy, where both were physically violent with each other throughout their relationship (there was an incident in the 90s where Nancy stabbed Benoit during an intense argument) certainly didn't help matters.
As a wrestling fan, it always hurts when I'm reminded of the Benoit incident. What happened was just so... Senseless, and it was so shocking to learn how brutally they were taken from this world.
Rest in Peace, Daniel and Nancy.

And Chris too, you might not been around as long as me but he loved those kids , the only thing that would make him do something like this is if he literally lost his mind (years of headshots , drugs, stress and losing his best friend and brother Eddie). Not defending his actions just not going to judge his whole life on the worst thing he’s ever done because he wasn’t him, he wasn’t in his right mind , unlike some we find out are just abusive (Jimmy Snooka)

I’ll never forget the death of Felipe Camiroaga and Roberto Bruce. I remember staying glued to my TV as the search team looked for survivors. I remember the first large discoveries was Roberto Bruce and he was confirmed dead. I felt like somebody had kicked me in the stomach, and just seeing his face in this video made me cry. That’s a man that I watched every morning for years. Felipe is an idol here and they only discovered his arm. How did they know it was his? He had a very unique tattoo that was well known to his fans. Every year, the country is reminded of the tragedy and they mourn the loss of all those lives. It just hurt a bit more because two huge parts of our mornings were suddenly gone.
Same, remember I used to watch Felipe Camiroaga a lot in the morning, because his personality and his looks were a lot like my dad at the time, so when the news came, I was pale
I'm Argentine. We have TVN here in the south. I searched for him and it felt on me that it was THAT guy from "Buenos días a todos". I remember him very well. I can't imagine how it must have been in Chile.
I remember the Benoit situation. My dad actually got us tickets to see Raw on that day. We waited outside for a couple of hours, & eventually, officials came out to tell us the show was postponed, but they didn’t tell us why. When we drove home, we saw the memoriam. My dad told me what actually happened when the news broke. It was always an unsettling part of my life because he was one of my favorite wrestlers at the time. Just a tragic situation overall for his wife and child.
And probably tragic to you as it’s revealed that your idol was revealed to be despicable and awful human being
WWE needs to be banned. It's to violent, too risky and it's just not worth it. Why would anyone like that??

i saw the episodes about him on dark side o the ring and the police photos of the rooms are so damn creepy
what bugs me about the whole thing is, ive heard ppl say "he was mentally ill, he would never hurt them otherwise" while that may be so, he choked the life out of his baby. strangling someone is a really personal (for want of a better word) way to end someone, like you really have to have hatred to do that. i dunno, i just cant get passed it
Ruth's death filled me with such sadness and dread. Money will cause anyone to do anything, it was heartbreaking to hear what she had to do to survive and that it had to be plastered on television for weeks on end.
whats even more sad is that during that time people didnt know how easy it was to trick and pass a polygraph test and lie the entire time. i have a family member who is a drug user and many years ago he was brought into the station for questioning and given a polygraph test numerous times. he passed it every single time despite being 100% guilty of exactly what they were after him for. ultimately he had to go to court for something and the judge asked for a polygraph test and he bragged that he has beaten them so many times that this one would be no different and her proved them right. they asked for his legal name, his address and even the color shirt he was wearing and he lied the whole time to prove he could. needless to say he did get charged of multiple crimes related to drug usage and had to pay a hefty fine as well. so for a show like "the value of truth" a person with the right mentality and determination could easily lie their way passed the polygraph and win all the money the show would offer. there is a very good reason why a polygraph is no longer used in courts to prove innocent or guilt, they can be manipulated easily and a nervous person who is in fact innocent can fail it despite being honest. its sad that she died, but thats also what happens when you're honest and admit on live TV that your lover means nothing to you and is just a place holder for a bigger fish. she didnt deserve to die of course but she knew the risks involved.
She did not deserve to die, but i will jot shed a tear for her.

there was another factor at play for the benoit tragedy: eddie Guerrero. eddie was a fellow wrestler and chris' best friend in the world. a year before, eddie died in his hotel room, found by his nephew, chavo. when chavo called chris, who was in the same hotel and was waiting for him to come down for a group work out, he told him what happened and let out a gutteral scream that chavo never knew chris could make. needless to say, eddie's death had a massive impact upon him but it was felt that he never got the chance to mourn for him.

I think something that makes the last chapter so much darker is the context of culture. There is no way that network, that production, that host, didnt know those last two questions would put her life in danger.
And yet the show went on to have a successful run until they just faded in popularity. No reflection, no repercussions.

@user-vi9zm5ss4f you seem to have a few extra problems than what's on the table here
The value of Truth is especially haunting when you realized not only both its Peruvian inversion has had dark content but also its American remake as well which had a very dark daughter and father subplot in which the father was revealed to have married a underage wife. So it's kind of shocking that both versions of the series have their own dark twisted content. But I guess that goes to show what you could expect when you strap somebody to chair with a polygraph test and prove them with the darkest possible questions imaginable. Eventually you're going to poke the pinata just right and I was going to pop out something horrifying
a kinda "fun fact" for the Peruvian version: After this incident, the show started to interview famous people in Peruvian TV cuz they would have security and of course, an incident like violence or just a smirk would be the talk for weeks
Do you know where I can watch the whole original Peruvian series online? I'm having a bit of trouble finding it
The value of Truth is especially haunting when you find out the host Beto Ortiz is a confessed child rapist
Who actually thought that show was a good idea?
Tbh it's only more telling of how women are in today's world. It's easier to lie and be complacent and wait for something better than to actually work to better what you already HAVE. I hope her guilt ate her alive

He was a MENACE. Demons don't exists. And the British public supported him for a long time!

Absolutely he's a demon.
31:08 keep in mind that polygraphs are not allowed as evidence in US courts and are considered pseudoscience, along with being able to be easily beaten...as Mythbusters and others have shown.
The guy who invented it said it didn't work, and asked law enforcement not to use it. All a polygraph does is tell you someone is nervous but people get nervous even when they tell the truth so yeah it's a trash machine that unfortunately got hundreds of thousands of people locked away never to be seen again. Got to love it when the inventor is saying please don't use this and lazy law enforcement was like naw.

The Chris Benoit story has always troubled me. I was in high school when I first heard of it, my sister and brother in law are huge wrestling fans. It just troubled me how something so many people see as fake can mess up someone this badly
because it isn’t “fake”. It’s scripted. Y’all be acting like it a cartoon 😂😂😂😂 that man was doing headbutts off a rope. more CTE giving than a NFL player getting hit.
They only think it is fake because Vince McMahon has said it was- gone back on that-- and then gone back on going back on it- several times since 1986, depending on which answer suits him financially at the time.
@@AliFrankTheTankyou watch the equivalent to ballet, you're a homo just admit it

@@jessewilley531I mean, the storylines are indeed fake but most of the stuff they do in-ring aren't. They still put their bodies under a lot of stress when they pull off most moves.
Benoit's steroid abuse and the diving headbutts he did attributed to him losing his mind and led to him killing his family and himself. There's a reason why the move isn't used much anymore after the incident.
It’s so crazy how so many horrifying things are televised.
Same
@@Nicholasmcmath-cr1xlI too am a horrifying TV moment!

@@ragnarosfl7464 because it had nothing to do with the video..?
The helicopter thing is insane. They both wanted the same shot. All that air space, and you end hitting the only other thing in it. Kind of hard to imagine.
A thing not mentioned in this video is the reporter you're hearing talking from the air and the helicopter pilot were one in same. The cameramen in each helicopters weren't the reporters, but the pilots were. Back then regulations were lax and to save money the pilots themselves were expected to both fly the aircraft and report on the situation on the ground. This led to a situation where news helicopter pilots were regularly distracted with literally trying to do two jobs at once, all swarming around the same general area of the crime scenes. This was more of a case of an inevitable tragedy rather than a freak accident.
There were SIX news choppers all occupying the same air space at the same time. That only two collided is actually somewhat of a small miracle.
@@TheRealCeeJai That in and of itself isn't inherently the problem. Don't get me wrong, it ain't great, but they did have procedures for who would occupy what area, and there would usually be communication between them. Several of them probably knew each other or were friends. But it was that with the combination of pilots being the reporters instead of solely dedicated to flying safely ultimately led to it
I think what shocked me was the dog burning like who does that?!
Poor Gladys. If you want to kill yourself go ahead but don’t take it out on innocent animals. Or humans for that matter.
i honestly respected the guy til he brought the dog with him :/
Stupid people do that
Fun fact, The Value of Truth had a almost completely similar show named Moment of Truth where one lady went out on stage and practically admitted to not loving her husband and wanting to be with her ex on live TV.
It’s the same program, only being made in another country. It happens all the time to have the same show being filmed in many different parts of the world with their own language and citizens.
@@karmica7591 Ah, yeah that makes sense
I bet that's most married people, this woman just had an incentive to admit it
@@goopapa4758. Ha! Not my ex!
Oh yeah I've seen that show before. They ask the contestants the most personal questions set up deliberately to potentially ruin their relationships. It's kinda messed up, but pretty entertaining.
Whats even more sad about the Chris Bennoit incident is that the media instead of focusing on the family & victims ( being his wife & son ) they used the tragedy to say steroids or other things even before the brain scan was done were involved while sometimes barely or not even bringing up the two innocent lives that were lost.
While steroid use / drug use in pro wrestling is of course a bad thing, the loss of those two should not have been used like that.
They were right tho. Benoit was juicin' a lot
Exactly, the amount of misinformation and ugly terms like roid-rage that still persist decades later is so telling at how persistent media damage and lies can be in the name of a more sensational story.
CTE is always a no-no whenever discussing anything full contact sports at least up until the mid 2010s. The WWE and NFL used to try and throw as much litigation against news agencies whenever they would come up as motive especially whenever it was becoming apparent that was the case in a lot of former wrestlers and players un-aliving or other extreme behavior (i.e. Junior Seau's death and the letter stating he wanted his brain scanned as to why he did it (severe CTE), the whole Antonio Brown saga, and Razor Ramon's drug abuse and 2nd Degree Murder charge in the 80s). The news agencies would just say drug/steroid abuse back then just cause they feared that they would get sued into oblivion.
I don’t think it would have looked good for them to focus on the victims too much because people would assume they were doing it to get off the hook and/or to look good amidst the tragedy. Sometimes people just want privacy for their deceased loved ones too, they wouldn’t want all the attention.
Right. And the WWE took no accountability on the nature of the business up to that point
As a huge wrestling fan I'm glad to see you cover the horrible tragedy of Benoit and his family
And as a wrestling fan I do like to see when people who don’t normally cover wrestling do a good job talking about it.
It's sad how so few people will ever discuss what his wife did to create the situation. Everyone will only ever talk about his "unexpected mental breakdown," and ignore the destruction of his family being created by his own wife that he stopped the only way he knew how
Wasn't it a huge national story? I thought everyone knew about it.
@@jasonl8720what’d she do?
@@jasonl8720 So how exactly did she create the 'destruction of the family' ? what did she do ?

I'm currently binging every video, one of the best channels on RUclips. Please don't stop making content, I'm hooked!
3:44 Chilean here, with only one correction: Romina Irarrázaval, the person who took the photos upon impact, was a woman (Romina is a female name). Everything else is perfectly explained, great job.
14:55 I can't imagine a plan as evil as this one. To willingly put kids life in danger so they could look like heroes, frame someone else, and then take all the custody they wanted. I'm glad he is in prison for the rest of his life, he is very dangerous.
Love when Nick posts even if it can traumatize people. It's awesome
He doesn't post despite these things traumatizing people. He posts specifically because it traumatizes people lmao
@@visassess8607 I mean, someone has to do it.
The helicopter crash is chilling not just for the crash itself but in a lot of the videos, hearing the other anchors breaking down is just heart wrenching. One guy had to hold himself back from having a panic attack live on air before then trying to hold back from crying. It just shows you how close these anchors are in terms of knowing each other and watching something like that happen live would have broken anyone. What's worse is that during the first footage, there's a sound that I don't know is just the equipment static or someone SCREAMING and....it's just unthinkable.
As a Chilean I remember clearly when I saw live the interruption of the program "Calle 7" to announce the unexpected death of that TV crew and with them the life of Felipe Camiroaga. He was considered one of the nicest, most charismatic and iconic people in Chilean television and with his loss I noticed how the quality of television itself dropped considerably.
He is still remembered to this day
The screaming in the helicopter 13:50 is freaking bone chilling
As a wrestling fan since High School (back in the mid '80s), the tragedy of Chris Benoit and what he did to his family was beyond heartbreaking.
True. It was awful. Especially when not long before his friend Eddie Guerrero had died. It was sad to see
It was a toxic brew brain damage roid rage and depression due to death of his best friend Eddie.
What his ILLNESS did to his family! If he had gotten diagnosed in time and gotten the medical help he so desperately needed, he and his wife and son would all still be alive!
Thabk fot covering Camiroaga and the tvn's crew accident, they were loved here, Felipe is like a saint nowadays, he always did good stuff for the community
I'm Chilean, and I still remember how devastating that plane crash was. Felipe Camiroaga was a very influential figure everyone loved.
Man, I remember when the first one happened. I was on my first uni year and I remember everyone was so devastated. Damn, was not expecting to revisit this one on this video. I had no idea that Romina (she was a camerawoman) hid the sd on a bottle.
Thanks for shedding some light on some international disturbing tv moments. It's always interesting to watch.
Apparently Romina didn't put it in there herself but the diver who found the sd card did. I found this in a translated article: "Romina Irarrázabal's brother, said that he was told that "the theory is that the person who rescued the memory, as a way of preserving it , he put it in a bottle of distilled or tap water, to avoid corrosion from seawater" ."
This is a bot comment
@@LIJVHAZ I feel like this makes a lot more sense, even if she had survived there's no way shed have the awareness to think of doing that
Who’s?@@SarahSkinnyJeans
I'm from Phoenix and I saw that broadcast live when those helicopters collided. I was a kid then but it was so surreal. I remember my Nana yelling at the tv and then just hearing the news anchors crying. It was very chilling because usually news broadcasters are professional and don't show too much emotion but that day the curtain fell down and we saw raw grief, it was horrifying. I think they canceled the rest of the tv broadcasts that day and spent that time talking about the news crew they lost. So sad.
Just another reason to hate chases
I was a wrestling fan in the early 2000's, and I can tell you the Benoit killings were earth-shattering. Still makes no sense all these years later. 😔
Since you spoke of Chris Benoit, you should totally speak about Owen Hart. He died ON AIR bc they didn't ensure everything was safe and he was coming down from the rafters. Worse is they basically deleted Owen from WWE overall and they STILL have the video in their vault. They refuse to destroy it.
They can't get rid of it as long as it's possible they'll face further lawsuits.
If they destroy it and another lawsuit is filed it wont go well for them.
It's a Corporate responsibility thing.
owen hart's wife martha is why wwe won't talk about him. she refuses to let the company that killed him earn a profit using his name and likeness, and rightfully so.
@@alyllcatOwen harts death is absolutely devastating
@@JayJay-nr2gk especially bc martha even said in their dark side of the ring episode that owen fully trusted wwe and never doubted that they would keep him safe :(((((
@alyllcat yep but as we all know wwe fucked up then and still do a bit now the equipment he was using malfunctioned sending owen hart to his death it was a pay per view so most saw it live
My family and I had tickets to that show in Corpus Christi, and I was genuinely not upset knowing about what had happened, even feeling bad for Beniot. Of course, knowing what I know now, i can't say much about my respect for Beniot. As someone who is now training to be in the industry, speaking with guys who wrestled him and knew him, they all say the same thing. They say yes, he was a great performer, but he killed his family and that's not something people can just excuse.
A TBI doesn't excuse someone's actions, but I think it's fine to appreciate someone's life or career within the context of knowing what they dealt with. I've known a few individuals with Alzheimer's, and it turned them into totally different people. They could be angry, belligerent, or change moods on a dime. Those memories suck, but it doesn't change the fact they were wonderful people before their illness took over.
I'll admit I'm not a big pro wrestling fan. Do they screen for TBIs or take other precautions to ensure something like this doesn't happen again? Either way, I hope you're staying safe while training and have a great career ahead in the industry.
@@profoundpunk Because of this there have been numerous moves blacklisted and banned, although I'm a huge fan of hardcore wrestling, I think I'm going to do more brawling styles without the chairs and tables. Also, if you notice in the highlight reel he had a move where he would headbutt his opponents, and yeah, wrestling's scripted, but I want to avoid headbutts as much as possible.
@@BrainJuiceTXi wish you goodluck man.
Btw...have you thought of a ring name?i wanna remember this conversation after you become a star 😊
sounds like they’re trying to protect the industry. proof being they no longer allow certain moves. things did change after that. would it be so hard to admit Benoit took one too many bumps to the head?
@@profoundpunktbi 100% excuses it
The crazy part is my grandpa was actually coworkers with Daniel Jones, which ended in a Christmas party where he had a mental breakdown. Lost his job because of it. This was a few years before he actually committed suicide. A week before it happened he asked my grandpa for a job, but with his track record and mental instability it was not a good idea unfortunately. As my grandpa watched live it was very unsettling as he watched it happen.
Edit: also his dog was apparently a really good dog lol
He was right about HMOs being ruthless, but he was cruel in the end, leaving his dog to burn to death. Sad that he wanted to kill himself, but that animal was innocent
Yeah was about to comment on how nobody empathized with him whatsoever and kept cursing him for what happened to his dog but I see nothing has changed.
lol
@@PixelSushi3well, I mean, there are some serious internet points in placing animals in higher regard than humans.
31:00 this is basically the moment of truth for anyone who has watched it. The questions are extremely intrusive, harsh, and controversial meant to cause mental harm to her, her loved ones, and damage any relationships she has in real life
The story of Ruth is heartbreaking. The girl was so brave to tell the truth on the show. If only she knew how it would play out.
I feel like having her parents and boyfriend on the show wasn’t really a smart decision.
It’s one thing being brutally honest, it’s another when the people you love is sitting a few feet away from you.
@@Uuyrijies1123 nah most ppl just move on from unpleasant events like her parents did. she got the money she needed in the end, its the piece of shits fault for killing her.

@@Uuyrijies1123are sitting*
just goes to show, don't do these type of shows if you really do have things to hide.
I know Daniel Jones' situation was sad but it's really hard to have sympathy for a man who brought his dog into his truck and then set on fire.
Poor pup. That made me so mad, she didn’t deserve to suffer due to his mental breakdown. 😢
This.
Yea this is the first comment I’ve seen about this
The guy was having a mental breakdown. I don't think rational thought applies in that situation.
it was accidental, he didnt mean to set the truck in fire, when he was burning, he could save himself but then forgot of the dog, thats my theory
The last story was the most saddest to me. Not a freak accident, or mental breakdown, but a poor human being. That was exploited because she was born to poverty and low class education. She then is murdered by a lowlife brute as a consequence of being exploited on national tv for giving honest and humiliating answers to perversely designed questions.
Being poor is not an excuse to be a hoe and a embarrasment to your loved ones.
Finally, a sane take.
@@malachitep4276its not a sane take . She wasn’t exploited on national Television at all. If anything its was humiliating to her loved ones. Its sad for her
@@abiolaakorede1509it's still exploitation actually. She was desperate for money and was willing to humiliate herself for it. I feel sorry for her. That scumbag was just mad because he was embarrassed too
"lowlife brute" was humiliated infront of millions as his scummy girlfriend admitted to cheating multiple times so she could get some money. It's pretty clear how someone could mentally snap in that situation. (I'm not justifying murder)
There's a reason why people call newscast helicopters "vultures".
They'll eagerly feed on any death, even other vultures.
I love this series. I mean, I don’t “love” the morbid cases documented obviously. But there’s something absolutely eerie about these videos that exemplifies a sort of “evil” or sinister energy in this world that’s way more real and tangible than some ghost or monster video.
I must also commend the editing and narration. Great stuff.
we get it
Although the majority of these are very distressing, and saddening, the clip where the guy abandoned the car and took a stroll while checking his phone did get a chuckle out of me.
I didn't laugh because I was more confused than anything, as in, why would he do that. 💀 But I did find it amusing.
