☠︎ Found the secret easter egg in today's video? Be the 1st to comment what it is and where it occurs in the video, and you will get pinned!! ☠︎
Elmo was peeking at me from your chest 👀 7:02
Bruh where
Nice catch
Good catch!!! 👏👏
I would of never noticed that amazing catch
@@Gxld1 i gotchu
Dang. Imagine being that coworker who closed the oven with Jose inside. A day wouldn’t go by that I didn’t feel immense guilt.
I would struggle with thoughts of suicide for the rest of my life and possibly even act on those thoughts. That’s so terrible. Poor Jose.
Just pretend he was the like button.
Oh I know😩... I thought about that in detail
Yup. That's what I was thinking. He'll need therapy for sure
Unless maybe...
That guy who roasted alive in the oven has got to be the most horrific death I've heard of out of the multitude of horrific deaths on this channel
its also 100 percent preventable had they simply had rules emplace to prevent people from interfering with others work stations. If you aren't in charge of a machine stay the fuck away from it.
The guy that got hit with intense radiation and had his skin fall off as he rooted to nothing over 80 days is the worst but this is definitely second.
That guy who was stuck in the dark sinking boat with sharks slamming into everything really stuck with me. Horrific
1.5 Million was not enough for what that poor guy went through and his family. Imagine having to think about your loved one being roasted alive for hours. No! his family should own that company.
@@mywebtv4u I agree it should have been 30MM plus. That was horrific!
Every time I hear about someone getting stuck in the mud I have a flash back to my childhood. I was around 6-8 years old and at the beach with my grandfather, I put my foot into a patch of really wet mud and got stuck up to my knee, being a little kid I couldn't pull my leg out. My grandfather was a master baker which meant that he owned a bakery and moved around 100lb bags of flour all day long, thus he was terrifyingly strong. He came over to me, grabbed me under my arms and just hoisted me into the air above his head with this sickening sucking sound from the mud. I lost my shoe in that hole, thanks grandpa, I miss you
Yea..why couldn't 3 men lift her out
W grandpa
I lost my shoe in really deep mud as a child too! I want my Diego sneakers back Mother Nature!
In case you're ever a child stuck in mud again, the trick is to lean on your other leg while jiggling and pulling the stuck leg.
Same! As a kid you really underestimate things like mud. My friend and I used to hang around this creek and swim in a hole there. Yes, now we know how gross it is lol. But at 7 things like that dont occur to you.
So one day we sank into mud while playing with it. Barely got out but our flip flops were gone. Learned a hard lesson that day when we had to walk back in the hot Texas sun without shoes.
Re: The lady who died in the mud flats
Let's hope her husband makes a memorial that tells the story of how she passed and places out on the roadside where others can see these warnings are no joke!
If her story saves at least 1 person, she did not die in vain.
From some of the other comments here it seems her death became a cautionary tale that parents in the area would tell their kids. So it probably did end up saving some lives just by happening.
i've watched numerous episodes of the joy of painting and bob ross never once painted nor mentioned to danger of the mud flats.
PEOPLE IGNORE warnings, as we’ve learned numerous times from these stories
.
Why not just cut off the leg and save her?
Her death has saved a lot of lives. As someone born and raised in Alaska, the mud flats were one of my biggest fears growing up.
What I've learned from MrBallen:
1. Stay out of the water
2. Stay out of the woods
3. Stay out of industrial machines and ovens
I’ve learned:
1) Stay way from deep diving (esp cave diving)
2) stay away from everything else.
ALWAYS use COMMON sense!
What I learned: don’t take short cuts and people will kill to keep a lie a secret
idk, that ovens lookin prettttty toasty
1.) Just don’t leave your home 🤣
What kills me is that all three of these stories could have easily been prevented. So devastating.
specially the last one like just cut her leg dude
They got very complacent, thinking that if it worked before, it's fine. Meanwhile the Grim Reaper is just counting down when their luck runs out.
They could pull her out with the keep
@@meganbrown6581 i was thinking that too... But if she was wearing boots or shoes on tight its hard to remove without undoing the laces
@@SG-tx1fz sounds messed up but that’s all they could’ve done at that point
I think I honestly developed a new phobia where I die in a scenario where everyone is here, they're all trying to do everything they can to help me, but it now reached the point where they can do nothing but watch as I slowly die from whatever accident that is eating me alive.
😐you just gave my brain a new phobia.
Mud always scares me. One time I was out on a tree planting contract at the end of a 5km walk in. We were working in a swamp. I was partner planting with another guy, so it was two of us out there. The area we were in was half water, half little islands of mud and grass/moss. He jumped across some water onto a piece of grass, but the mud underneath was soft so he sank waist deep. I came over to help him out, I managed to get solid footing on a stump nearby, but haul as I might I couldn't get him out. I was there for a good 15-20 minutes just trying to brute force him out, before I realized I would have to get help. I sprinted across the swamp to where some other co-workers were and called for help. 2 more people came over. By the time I got back to him he had sunk a foot further. It took all 3 of us a good half hour to haul him out. He had roots tangled with his feet, so one person had to go face first into the mud to free his feet before we could hall him out. But it worked. He was fine, just shaken up. He quit the next week.
I'm terrified now too...
I was near the shore of a river in South America once. It's not sand it's basically mud or clay. We were swinging off this branch/vine thing like Tarzan. My brother stepped in some and it sucked in his boot
We tried everything to get it out but in the end it sunk and we lost it forever. Looking back we were laughing and it's a funny memory but if that was a person it could've easily been really bad, really quick.
Don't trust nature anymore. I'm happily a professional indoorsman instead.
pov: you watched one of his videos cause it looked interesting and then got addicted to the story telling
YES i just discovered him last night when a video showed up in my reccomended page
how dare you expose me like that
No, it's his trademark shirts that got me hooked. 😂 But seriously, I kept seeing that in different videos and listened to a few. He's a good storyteller so I got hooked on one scary story after another. Finally, why not - I subscribed.
EXACTLY
So I'm not the only one who does this
hope Jose's coworker is ok, can't imagine trying to do a small favor for someone and inadvertently causing their particularly horrific death :/
I was thinking the same thing.
I’m sure he’s thought some crazy thoughts about that. :/
Why didn't Jose push back against the carts
@@johncuervo3019 how is he gonna push the cart back if he doesn’t hear it pushed in and only notices when it’s locked in with him. It’s an industrial factory so their not gonna hear him screaming to get out
This is why i dont do favors
Thank you for covering the Turnagain Arm mudflats. I remember this incident clearly. They are absolutely lethal, and not to be underestimated. Such a sad way to go.
I don’t even want to go outside 🤣. I’m happy being in my house with my tv and video games!
As a lifelong Alaskan, who lives in Anchorage, the mudflats are always a deathtrap, every single year several people die much like Adriana did, often times foreigners who didn't or couldn't read the signs. it is such a problem that there are emergency services protocols in place and special equipment built and stationed in along the Turnigan arm just for these situations. Over the years its been found the best survivability has been with people wearing chest-waders and/or Wet-Suits as those items can be "pressurized" with water enough to pull you out.. but even at that survival rates are only about 30%
I feel like more people should be pointing out the heroism and determination of that Alaskan State Trooper who stayed with her until the very last moments and never gave up trying to save her. I can't imagine how it must have felt when he saw both ends of that tube float to the surface.
then make a video doing that instead of expecting other people to do it for you.
I agree 100000%
@@vindictivetiger3958 He/she said pointing out the heroism, like in the comments; said nothing about making a video.. (hell ya, ten white Knight points for me- lol jk)
IDK why they didn't cut her leg off.
@@mesaplayer9636 facts
More things I learned from Mr. Ballen:
- Never go inside an industrial oven
- Never go in water where there is a sign
I just say no to dark water from now on.
@@inthefade it started off as just a little mud...
why must humans ignore danger warnings?😔
You learned not to go into an industrialised oven from Mr B??? My dude...I have more faith in you than that. XD
That's literally common sense 😂
Moral of most of these stories? Keep as calm as possible (easier said than done) and ASK FOR FREAKING HELP!! It's so heartbreaking that so many people could have been saved (although a lot of stuff could be prevented by people just not going where they aren't supposed to and they wouldn't need saving..) just by asking for help even a little sooner... but never the less, your stories ALWAYS keep me on the edge of my seat! Lost my account and had to make a new one, so getting to listen to a lot of the ones I had heard before is still just as thrilling and chilling!!
Everybody gangsta until MrBallen starts explaining something with SLIGHTLY more detail.
"None of them paid any attention to the warning signs"
Seems to be a running theme with this particular series.
Yeah...seems like people would at least read what the warning is for. Like I'm all for doing something that's risky but I'm not just gonna run off of a cliff when there is a sign that says there's a cliff right there you know?
As they say! “Doing the same thing over & over! Expecting a different result” Is what they call “insanity”!! 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤣🤣🤣
I wish I'd paid attention to Mrballen's "stressful content" warning!
@@adameins5622 this sign reads "Danger," hmm must be safe then
Sad but true ✝️🙏🏻♥️
The first story reminds me of this time I was shopping at Costco and I kept hearing a faint but distinct banging and “help” I looked up all around me and everyone was going about their business like normal and it irritated me so bad no one was reacting. So I just ran as fast as I could towards the noise and ran behind the counters into the meat kitchen area and heard the noise coming from the walk in washing machine. I opened the door and a very frightened young man ran out of there. He accidentally got himself locked in there.
Masha Allah 🙏 you save a life 😢 i hope there's more people like you. Blessed you and your family ❤️
You saved a man from becoming Mr Ballens video. Cool
I am always astounded how people can hear someone screaming for help, and just ignore it. It makes me wonder, if those people ever needed help would they actually scream for it?
@@texavery5695 its called the bystander effect. People have literally been stabbed to death in front of people and no one will do anything because they believe someone else will do it. So with everything believing others are going to step in.. no one does. Its very sad.
I was on a gore site a few years ago when I came across a video of this lady that had somehow gotten her left arm torn off. This was in India and it looked like maybe a vehicle of some kind had caused the injury. The lady was wearing a long sleeved shirt and you could see her arm was completely detached from her body. The shirt was ripped along the shoulder and she was half dragging and holding it. She didn't know quite what to do with it. She is in shock (like anyone else would be) and flailing around.. squating down begging for help. She was crying and gesturing for someone to do something but not one person helped her. By this time a group of people had gathered around to form a circle. They pulled out thier phones and started videotaping. She would approach the crowd who were taping her and they would literally take steps to get away from her. The lady then removed a gold necklace from her neck and tried handing the gold bloodstained chain to anyone who might help her. Someone took the chain and stood there. The injured lady fell to her knees then fell to her side. Finally an older lady came running ,pushing the onlookers to get thru. She knelt down and tried to apply pressure to the wound but it was too late. The lady was barely alive and shortly lost consciousness. The older lady started screaming at the crowd.. hitting them and thats where the video ends.
I have seen a lot of things irl and on gore sites since I was a teen. So I am used to seeing fatal injuries. But that video scarred me for life. The fear in her eyes.. desperation in her voice... you did not have to speak her language to know what she was saying. No one fucking cared. It was like she wasnt even a human.. animal or living thing.
Anyway that's when I started looking into why people behave like that sometimes. It tends to happen in major populated areas and cities.
Thank you for paying attention to that person’s cries!
that poor co-worker thinking he was doing Jose a favour :,(
The ol "secretly taped steak on a shirt" prank, gets em every time 🤣
Reasons why mr ballen is awesome
1. He’s a dad
2. He’s a veteran
3. he doesn’t use an overly fake voice, he just uses his normal voice
4. He has a good fashion sense
5. He makes generally great content
Can never go wrong with plaid and a snap back rofl
and another thing... he’s easy on the eye ! 😋
He’s great- we watch him all the time- as of yesterday I have watched all of his videos. He’s a great story teller.
@@lynne1517 amen sister 😌👌🏾
That’s the stuff I look for from a youtuber.
Yes, you’ve got excellent content, but are you a combo dad veteran?
Can’t imagine the terror of being stuck in mud and being so close to a rescue, but ultimately realising you’re going to die. The helplessness. God.
It absolutely amazes me how many people die doesn't stupid stuff like trying to save a few minutes of driving by cutting across and ignoring the danger signs of the mud flats. He has to live the rest of his life knowing he got her killed just because of him being impatient!
@@johnjay3317 right! It’s like when you get impatient drivers that take high risks and overtake at crazy speeds, on blind corners or when they can see another car coming. Where does it get you? One car ahead (best case) and dead or injured or causing someone else’s death or injury (most likely).
I live on a boat surrounded by 10 feet of sinking mud. I've had to rescue several people over the last few years, luckily they survived but not everyone does. Respect Mother Nature or pay the price.
Yeah, that 1 really got me too!
I woulda just cut my leg off rather be an amputatee than dead.
Wow our camp counselors took us out on the mud flats and i remember hanging back bc my parents mentioned how the flats are quicksand - one of the counselors and a handful of kids got stuck and got dug out. They were in big trouble!
I lived in Anchorage in 1988 and the story of Adeana was huge. I was still in elementary school, so my parents used the story to enforce the dangers of the mudflats. We were taught to respect them and the tides... So sad and so heartbreaking...
On a side note... it was a four wheel ATV, not a Jeep. But still... Great story-telling, as always, @MrBallen!
You know, it's very sad and tragic how the guy died in the whirlpool but really, if you are going to repetitively do dangerous things over and over, your luck will run out.
@Harv 1991 Right. And that was my point. I wasn't trying to be disrespectful at all, but so many of these deaths were needless. And even though it is tragic and horrific, they knew what could happen.
only takes 1 mistake. if you're gut tell you somethings up. listen to it.
Yeah, but at the same time, adrenaline is addictive.
I'm sure his sister wouldn't have wanted him to risk his life like that. Now they both died really young
Sad for his parents as well they lost both their kids at such young ages.
Not having some kind of safety switch inside that tuna oven is just plain insane.
That's a good idea
I thought the same thing. How much would it take to get a kill switch within the oven, honestly.
How many people would walk into a tuna oven though?
Even if it had one, he could have suffocated in there
@@Defender2516 Any amount of people accidently cooked alive in a tuna oven is too many. Machines like this should always have multiple redundancy kill switches for safety regardless of the likelihood
If you watch too much MrBallen, you'll get a claustrophobia and wouldn't ever go inside an oven. This channel actually save our lives.
u ain't lyin
The contrary too, it pulls horrific things into mind
That poor girl in the mud flats.
I honestly don’t know if I can keep watching stories like this. It’s so very disturbing, I feel so bad.
Imagine being the person who accidentally killed Jose.. we all know they shouldn't blame themselves, but they definitely still do. 😔
I thought that very same thing. That story is just awful. You know that coworker thinks about it often. Even blaming himself. So, so sad. All three stories were awful. Makes me thankful for being here!!
❤️💜💚
Poor Jose 😔.
if only Jose asked for another coworker to watch over him as he did it.... that would've saved his life...
Very tragic... but then again, it is something that could've been prevented had the parties involved followed safety protocol. It is true that some rules/guidelines/procedures seem unnecessary/inconvenient or even seem "stupid" but they are there for a reason such as preventing tragedies like that.
Yes so tragic! And the coworker thought he was doing him a favor
Imagine being the employee who happened to be the one to close the oven. Regardless of the fact that they weren’t truly to blame the guilt must be horrendous.
They were partly to blame. There were multiple safety failures that caused that death
@@curiositykillingcat3226 Safety failures I highly doubt they were trained for or the fact that the company didn’t have enough safety features on the oven that a human can fit inside of 🤷♂️
@@curiositykillingcat3226 I agree with you. To just assume where someone is was reckless given how dangerous the ovens were
I bet when everyone else was running around looking for Jose, that guy was just pacing back and forth thinking "F***! "F***! "F***! "F***!"
@@curiositykillingcat3226
Mostly on the company though. Training was lacking. Any job where you enter a dangerous compartment like that needs to train and enforce lock out tag out procedures. So that everybody has a red padlock that they throw on the door to keep it open - and signify that someone is in it, and have nobody except the person who put the lock on be able to remove it.
This guy is a legend... I wish he had 1 billion of subscribers! He TOTALLY deserves it!
The mud flats story is one of the most fucked up deaths in this video series in my opinion. It’s just so heartbreaking, imagine that happening to you or your partner. Like talk about horrifying and soul crushing.
Glad he made the wife get out and push
That one seriously had me in tears. I thought the oven death was bad but omg… death by drowning has always been a fear but I think death by drowning in a mud flat is the new one.
Ignoring warning signs = easy way to die.
Lol I’m mean all he had to do was push the beep himself
Main lesson of these stories, when you see warning signs take notice and leave warehouse repairs for the maintenance. Never go above and beyond for a factory job.
Thank you.
Never go above an beyond in any job from my exoerience thats when you get paid less then everyone else and do all the work and work all the hours while everyone else gets to live vacation and no responsibilities.
@@GGA007Gaming For most jobs it's best to just do the absolute minimal while pretending it's your best otherwise the company will come to expect you to put your best foot forward everyday without compensating you for it and take advantage of you.
Their job is to work you ragged while paying as little as possible. An employees job is to get paid as much as possible without getting exploited. It's a conflict of interests. That's why it's important to never go over and beyond for these jobs unless it's something meaningful life healthcare surgery.
@@somename6955 If an employee goes above and beyond on a regular basis eventually it's going to get taken for granted while they get paid the same/less for assuming more workplace responsibilities. In a skill based career it's not necessarily bad because it garners experience that can lead other opportunities. Potentially even another higher paying job outside the company.
However, when it comes to factory settings. The more responsibilities a worker assumes the more they're exploited as a workhorse for little to no gain. In the story featured in the video the unfortunate guy lost the most important thing he possibly had. His life. So the "lazy" bare minimal isn't exactly the worst thing when being "industrious" without incentive mostly leads to being exploited. The "laziness" is a protective precaution. Better to be "lazy" and live than be overzealous and lose a limb or wind up dead for a company that couldn't care less. It's not pessimistic as much as it's realistic as sad as that is.
Main lesson..OBEY AND MIND THE WARNING SIGNS!
I appreciate the compassion and the will to help from some people, and I praise that as a human condition we all have..well, almost all anyway...
But, and I hope my comment won't get taken the wrong way...you make a mistake willingly, and risk your own life knowingly, and the life of others while at it, like in the case of the guy and his girlfriend, by totally ignoring the warning signs for which you stubbornly and carelessly are about to do, and then you expect other people to risk their own lives to save your irresponsible behind?....Like I said, I commend the will and the unselfish drive of a lot of folks when they want to help their fellow human being in distress, but....Sometimes you can't help stupid...Sorry...
Thats why all factory workers should have walkie-talkies with ear pieces so they can communicate with each other
that way you cannot gossip..
They failed him in every way. No excuse to have an oven that big without a way out and an emergency switch
I bet the oven acts like a Faraday Cage
@@IntegralKing true
@@no_peace Don't be ridiculous..... He knew he wasn't supposed to enter the oven alone like that unannounced but decided to risk it anyway which resulted in avoidable tragedy.
Better education for employees could be a good idea but then again I don't know if they had insufficient education in the first place considering the fact that factory workers apparently knew that they weren't supposed to do what he did.
There are basic issues not just with sensible economics but physics, the things you're asking for aren't trivial and frankly shouldn't be required. It's an industrial oven for Pete's sake!, you do not enter an industrial oven without competent supervision. I'm not blaming the corporation or the scientists who designed the oven for this one... I'm just not doing it.
PS: I don't think radios work well inside industrial equipment and no telling what kind of potential radio interference could ensure.
Something to think about on the first story. John said that a worker assumed that Jose had walked away and had not pushed the tuna into the oven. People, try to never think that someone or something or a situation is what you assume it to be. Especially in environments that present a factor of damage or death to you or others. Take a moment to check out what is really going on. I feel bad for José s family and bad for the coworker that has to live with that bad assumption for the rest of their life. Just a terrible thing to happen.😓
After note: It is utter madness that these big corporations and companies don't implement the proper safety protocols, just to save some money, until someone dies or is maimed horribly. Then those said companies and corporations pay out 4 times the amount in damages instead. Greed is the ultimate Evil.
I feel sorry for the coworker who closed that oven door. Imagine how they feel knowing that if they had not closed the oven door or had called out for Jose that his coworker may still be here today.
I also feel sorry for Jose and his family.
Still jose's fault. There is no reason he shouldn't have told someone to spot him while he went into the oven.
@@troypayne6701 Correction, company's fault for not adding an interior killswitch.
Still Jose's fault, If it's not your job to fix something, you just report It to your superior
@@troypayne6701 have some sympathy, man. Jose was just trying to fix a small thing for the company. Who cares who's fault it was? A life was lost tragically.
I don't feel sorry for the clueless co worker.
Very dangerous to work with carefree people like that around.
They are one reason i always unplug the power cords while i fix something.
Being self absobed is not an excuse.
The "Horse Head" story is absolutely heartbreaking with the fact that the mom and dad have now lost two kids.
It's heartbreaking because truly it was a totally preventable death and a stupid one. That young was totally reckless.
@@typical_snowflake I think he became reckless, in general, after his sister's death because he had nothing more to lose.
I thought the same thing! I can't fathom how I would cope with the loss of one child, but TWO...nobody should ever have to endure that.
His mother ended up moving a short distance away from the area where they grew up. We're used to hearing about people dying in the sea quite regularly (I grew up in the same town as him), but his death was so shocking - largely because of how preventable it was. His mother literally had random people approaching her in shops expressing their condolences and it was just too much. She transformed part of her garden to be a shrine to their memory, burying some of his dreadlocks and flowers from his sister's bedroom together. I believe the childrens' ashes were spread in the same location and she mounted his surfboard by the side of the road, which is still visited by people paying their respects. Nobody should have had to endure what she went through.
Especially the fact jacob had a point that sometimes in life you should be reckless but sometimes you really have to take a second and think is it worth it or is it ur death
Listening to all your stories is really helping to realize that when something is meant to happen, everything will fall into place to make it happen.
You mean if you’re meant to die?
Elmo flashes around 7:01 or so. I finally found one!🙂
"I wonder why that warning sign is there?"
"It's probably not important."
"They only put those signs there for stupid people who don't know what they're doing. We aren't stupid and we know what we're doing so we'll be fine!"
- Famous last words.
No matter how many stories like this we hear about, there's always people who think they're smarter than everyone else so they don't need to listen. Truth is, the smart people are those who actually heed those warnings and never try to cheat death to begin with.
@@nturavrgchick6055 Maybe it because I've always had the fear of drowning but I could never see myself risking my life just to save a little time, much less the life of someone I loved.

Signs are for a reason..why do people think they know better
Exactly!! I'd like to see a some hard data on just how many people perish after willfully ignoring some sort of specific and obvious 'Warning', 'Danger', or 'Do not Enter sign'??
I think this is the only story I've seen where the company pays a settlement to the family AND pays to upgrade their equipment so it wont happen again.
Yeah sad story but I respect the company's response
Even tho the company didn’t do nothing it was another worker who caused his death and her the company took over so credits to them bcs it wasn’t really their fault, tho it was their equipment they didn’t purposely try to hurt anybody. And neither did the other guy but cmon he could’ve looked inside before he put the tuna and closed the door he deserves to go to jail for murder.
@@tink_tinkkkz314 why would he need to look when they were strictly forbidden to enter the ovens. He wasn't supposed to be in there in the first place.
@@tink_tinkkkz314 not dudes fault
It was a part of the settlement with OSHA
That last story about Adeana is horrifying. Being stuck with the tide coming in had to be frightening for her.
❤❤
I've been scared.. felt anxious and even shocked by your stories.. but.. none have made me cry until this one about Adeana!!! 😭😭😭
I was born and raised in Anchorage Alaska and remember hearing about this story as a cautionary tale and every time we drove down that highway overlooking the mudflats I would think about her. May she Rest In Peace
My father is a journalist and actually covered the story at the time. I remember him telling me this as a kid. Blew my mind. So awful.
@Brian Weatherman please visit your brother when he moves back. Alaska is the most beautiful place you will ever see especially if you like doing outdoor stuff like hunting fishing and camping
Omg! I got two likes and a comment from mrballen in the last three days, we’re practically best friends now! 😍
This is so like the poor lady at her dad's wedding that got caught in quicksand as the tide came in and she drowned. Both sad and terrible 💔✝️🙏🏻♥️.
Jose's death was SO sad. Being cooked alive seems like the worst way to go. Horrible. imagine being the coworker too😨 that will be on his conscience until he dies
Yeah being responsible for cooking your workmate!

@@dakotabruce7773 SAVAGE LOL
My Dad worked for A cannery and he told us a story where he went into the cooler to store Tuna fish and it had an automatic door to open and close so while being inside there was an electric outage and the doors shut closed and the had to scale his way out until he was able to find the exit lucky he was able to get out after a couple of hours being trapped Dad only developed Neumonia 😳 And went back to work .Dad is still alive 93 yrs old Today
His co worker did that shit on purpose. He didn’t like Jose and saw an easy way to get rid of him and call it an “accident.” Perfect crime.
Love your storytelling, totally addicted now. For future reference I live in the UK the word "quay" is pronounced "kee" 👍
I really hoped someone would say this - it is kee in Australia too!
I love this guy, but I had a little cringe every time he said quay wall 😂
Ok I thought I was going crazy, I was like I'm pretty sure he means quay (key) but then started thinking it was a different word and got rather confused
😂
i find mr. ballen's "top 3 places you can't go" series to be his most distressing story category
Love how there is no like relief for the endings, it’s just “oh and they slowly died” “next we have...” or “that’s it!”
It’s brutal..... and I’m totally addicted. Bingewatchings galore.
I'm good here at home !
It is like that. I listened to one recently about deep sea divers having the oxygen ripped from their bodies. At the end Mr Ballen says “Luckily...”
Me “Oh?”
Him “They were killed instantly.”

Sad but True.
Like the MAN said,
ITS LIKE THAT,
and THATS THE WAY IT IS. HUUUH.
Oh my god, the tuna guy...imagine being the guy who helped him out by starting the oven up. Nightmare fuel for life.
I've heard several workplace accident stories where the workers who caused the accident had good intentions. I don't know how I'd be able to live with myself knowing I had not only not helped my coworker but I had pressed the buttons that caused their death.
@@Serenade2461 I have a horror of dying that way - well, not in an oven but a fire, the kind where they cant really do anything about the pain because its all 3rd degree...much rather drown if I had to choose. Because the burning one...I hope somebody would do me a solid and put a bullet in my head as fast as possible. But you know the dumb jerks would try and save me. Once the trap shut on those guys, tell me they wouldn't have been better off if some kind soul would have hucked a grenade in there. I'm picturing one of those glassed in "in case of emergency" boxes with a few grenades, a couple of guns....

People like the second guy seen themselves as living life to the fullest. I see them as people who don’t respect or appreciate the fragility of life, and the fact that we only have 1 of them. No reloads on this playthrough. When you die it’s game over.
I feel so sorry for the young man’s parents - first they lost their daughter to a brain tumour and then their son to a whirlpool because he liked living on the edge. What a tragic life for those parents who were left to carry on without their two kids. 😔
I am curious if he had a brain tumor as well that lowered his inhibitions.
I agree. 😥 My heart goes out to them. 😢😢
@@Dead_Goat no he was suicidal it doesn’t always mean you think about killing yourself or try to it can be not caring about risks and putting yourself in harms way because deep down you don’t really care if you die
This is why u dont have kids cause u are giving the burden of mortal death to another person. Selfish of people to have k I'd s
@@ginosko_ and yet your parents had you...wah wah
I feel so bad for Jose’s coworker. I can’t imagine having to live with that...
My feelings exactly.
Jose thought he was doing a favor for his boss by getting at the chain in the oven, and his coworker thought he was doing Jose a favor by shoving in the tuna cans and throwing the switch.
I’ve worked with people that stupid... how hard would it have been to check first? Why would you assume in the middle of doing a simple 3 step task that he just wandered off to do something else? Wouldn’t you ask yourself why? Maybe there was a problem? Check first. Stupidity kills.
@@AirWindFire Same here. That's the reason for all of those ridiculous PSA's.
@@AirWindFire or .. who would actually think that a worker would walk inside the oven. Everyone knew it was forbidden and the way everything was set up , it seemed to be ready to load and lock
It turns out, my best friend knew that family from the second story. She use to do the boy's sister's hair before she passed. A few things to point out, MrBallen... first is that the incident in story two didn't happen in Penzance but in Hayle. There is a sort of settlement nearby of a new big business and that quay wall prevents the spill over into that area. In addition, those whirlpools don't happen only a few times a year. Water is constantly rushing to that area and the whirlpools are always forming... the water crashes into the wall before funneling down into the spillway. In fact, you can see the whirlpools from Google Earth. They're not so so small and they're definitely no joke.
That mud flats story got me ! How horrifying !
there's a lot to be said about living a chill life where you respect 'danger keep out ' signs
Right!!!
Most daredevils are the first person to notice the warning signs of danger, and that’s why they plan ahead.
Yup! I usually question things and try new things in order to find out... but if I see a sign posted about natural hazards or am around big machines... Nnonononooonooo!!!
as someone who’s grownup and lives in alaska my whole life, i remember being told the story of the woman in the mud flats as a way to keep kids from playing in them. it worked for most of us
My dad was actually a personal friend of the couple; he lived many decades in Alaska as a cultural anthropologist. I would go up summers to work there as a teen, and he told me the story. And she didn’t die right away. Not of hypothermia or anything; she just freaking drowned. Ugh 😑
I'm from the UK, but I was told a story about a woman in who got trapped in mud flats. I wonder if my mum, who used to live in various places across Canada, heard about it and told us. we didn't have anything dangerous like that near us, but my auntie lived near the humber bridge over in Lincolnshire and whenever the tide would go out, we always wanted to play on the sand there - which was quicksand. I wonder if the story that scared the life out of me as a kid is the same story im hearing today.
@@piperhurtado4945 The hypothermia meant she couldn't hold the air pipe, so she drowned. Too bad no one had scuba gear, but that probably wouldn't have saved her in the long run.
I was born in AK as well, and lived there for the first 21 years of my life- I definitely remember being told that story early on, and vividly remembered every time we drove alongside them on the mountainside roads!
Cheers to another Alaskan ❤
@@piperhurtado4945 ngl that comment was pretty disrespectful to a literal death
You heartbeat background sound was on point for last story, started a second after my actual heart started beating fast.
Honestly even though it was cut short, I'd still say Jacob lived his life to the fullest.
I wish Jose would've asked someone to spot him.
I bet a woman would have checked the inside before shoving the tuna inside and turning on the oven.
He was probably illegal and didn't want to risk being deported

@@jacoblyman5359 what does that have to do with anything? The op said spot as in was there helping him load 😐
Common sense to never touch someone else’s work unless instructed to do so. Especially this dangerous.
Deana had to be terrified. What a horrible way to die. I can’t imagine the guilt her husband felt and had to live with.
idk, man... really look at that story. Seems quite suspect to me. A) what "man" marries an 18 year old girl, then on top of it, has HER go push the truck? I don't freakin thinks so. Very suspicious. Plus gold was involved... Maybe he didn't want her telling anyone else where the spot was? Seems very odd. He knew better and liekly she did too being a resident, yet she was pressured im sure

The oven story got to me. As someone who has worked in heavy industry, Lock-Out-Tag-Out is a thing for a reason. Too many stories of people getting cooked alive or ground into paste or shocked to death for me to fuck around and find out.
#2 is a weird one: most of these people died sad preventable deaths but Jacob had decided to live his life on the edge, and he got the fame and recognition he deserved. A short life, but a good one.
😹
Nah! "Fame" is worthless. There are other things in life that truly matter. He wasted his life. He may rest in peace!
Likes are worth dying for. Everything else is rubbish.
@@godnyx117while I do agree fame is worthless from what the story said it sounded like he didnt do it simply for the fame and did it for himself so I genuinely dont think he wasted his life. He did exactly what he set out to do, live life for both him and his sister

Yeh about 20 chinese people died in the mud flats in the UK a couple of years ago they were collecting crabs or something like that and tide came in and they all lost their lives.
Andy, I hate to break it to you but if you're talking about those Chinese cockle pickers in Morecambe bay, that was 16 years ago 😜
What I am learning from these videos is: obey signs that say ‘danger,’ ‘warning,’ or feature the grim reaper on them, no matter how much of a tough guy you think you are.
I hope Jay from the last story is doing okay. I can’t even imagine how traumatic that must’ve been for him to go through :(

@@cutebutsadisticable a
@Hippy Dippy I was going to say the same thing.... almost drown when I was young... it was rather peaceful before I was rescued
These three stories really hit me in my heart!
The fact that everyone who stopped to try to save her sat there for 6 hours with her husband until they could help him retrieve her body has me in tears. The whole story was so horrible my heart was racing and I was shaking and choked up just listening, but hearing that they all sat there and made sure he didn't have to go through it alone is just so heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. I don't even know how to feel now.
Tragic just think they could of took scuba gear there or something but I suppose there just really wasnt time. Horrific to have to leave your wife to die.
@@JP_LDN582 idk how it's laid out there land wide and water depth, but I know up in Maine where my family is when the tide comes in it happens fast. Imagine a big tear drop shape of open ground but the top of the tear drop is open. The ocean, at low tide, is on the other side of the tear drop, but when the tide comes in you've got a little while where the water is creeping up slowly but once it gets to a certain point it moves really really quickly because the water is now over the sand dune that was creating the little opening that was slowing the water. If that makes sense. Reading it back I cant tell lol.
@@JP_LDN582 I was thinking that myself, bring her scuba gear, then just keep going in and giving fresh tanks but I think hypothermia would've ended up killed her stuck in freezing cold water for 6 hours or something

i can’t imagine how horrifying that’d be for both parties. i mean, imagine being in the mud, the water coming in, your partner trying desperately to save you. not only that, but being the other spouse, trying as hard as you can to save the love of your life, watching them grow more terrified with each second that passes until it’s too late.

I got up to help my two-year-old granddaughter go to the potty and paused this video. Coming back out of the bathroom through my bedroom I spotted a piece of weed eater string at the door in the floor.

@@chadbear8759 Let me a scary story about that. I live in the deep desert and there are a lof of ABANDONed mines hereabouts. Now most people are cognizant of the hazards presented by inadvertantly falling to your death.
Fewer are cognizant of the hazard of air you can't breathe. You ever take a deep breath and find out you're suffocating anyway? "Bad air" is something all miners are aware of, but something explorers seem to have little memory of. I've breathed that shit, and it is honestly terrifying.
When Adeana died, our entire state was devastated. Those not on scene, were all either watching the news as this happened, or listening to our favorite radio stations giving us moment to moment updates. All of Alaska cried together that day. RIP Adeana ❤️
