As a medic in the army I can tell you with absolute certainty that explosive concussion waves can cause severe internal injuries without outward damage being obvious. Especially to the chest cavity and head. Science.
But how could it cause internal injuries with no outward sign on some of them but not everybody? I believe you are telling the truth, I just don't think it applies to dyatlov pass.
@@natecloe8535 blast injuries are fascinating (and obviously tragic, but interesting nonetheless). there are tons of factors that determine the severity of injuries, such as proximity to a blast, the surrounding terrain, if there is anything blocking a person from being hit with all of the force of the blast (like a tree or some other natural barriers), etc. the thing i found most interesting when reading about blast injuries is the way that they’re treated. usually those with the most mild cases go to the hospitals first and the most injured people are treated by EMS and get to the hospital significantly later. this actually does help medical staff predict the number of victims and it helps them prepare to treat the most injured people. another thing to note is that people with TBI (traumatic brain injuries) act almost exactly the same as somebody with PTSD so it’s very difficult to tell who is suffering from mental illness vs who has a brain injury (not that both conditions shouldn’t receive immediate medical attention, but just that it’s hard to determine the extent of injuries). this is all according to the CDC, i became interested and read some of their articles on different types of injuries people get in war. my point is, it’s very very difficult to tell if the injuries of the poor russian hikers were caused by an explosion of some type, but it does seem like a probable explanation. not many injuries are entirely internal.
@@natecloe8535 happens constantly just look at injuries especially in Afghanistan...it's how the blast goes out...there is also tons of documentation of this in Japan when the bombs dropped...it's actually extremely well known to anyone who does research
Sadly; to this day women still go missing on the highway of tears, it's great you covered this overlooked issue. My best wishes and love go out to all my native sisters 🧡
no more native women go missing than other women... and the ones that are killed are usually killed by native men. an equal amount of native men disappear or re murdered. You people need to get a grip
@@alistairbalistair9596 And where do you get your facts from?? Because it's a known statistic among Native communities and reserves, obviously you arent too educated on the matter; your ignorance is astonishing.
I actually drove on the highway of tears while going to visit my aunt and uncle. It is so eerie and depressing. So many First Nations women go missing in Canada, it’s a serious problem that needs much more attention.
yeah it's kinda sad how much people in Canada ignore it I mean they literally not even that long ago knocked down a bunch of they're houses to build a road
It’s actually split pretty evenly between white and First Nations women, and some guys have vanished there as well. Even today, you still see people hitchhiking around Moricetown, Hazelton, etc. Mostly seems to be teen girls. WTH? 🤷🏻♂️
If this is not being given attention by Canadian authorities, it certainly should. A bunch of First Nations women just disappearing needs to be invested and I mean a seriious investigation. If not then Canada's reputation as a non-raciat society is just another lie. (I don't believe that for a moment and this lack of investigation into these women's disappearances tend to reinforce my belief).
@@jusportel I see that down here in the states, too, despite repeated warnings that hitchhiking in very dangerous. Maybe it's a belief that they won't become a statistic.
@@harrietharlow9929 yeah no Canada is still very racist especially in older people for both black and native (coming from a Canadian) actually they have hidden the fact that natives are attacked for ages
My mother’s babysitter was actually a victim on the highway of tears. Funnily enough here in Canada, the “official number” of missing women is something like 18, but everyone here in BC knows it could be in the hundreds - the police don’t really do a lot about it here.
@@HendersonHinchfinch I could see it being in the 100s. Run aways and people not from the area and really have no one that is going to look for them go missing. It would not take much to make someone disapear without anyone go looking for them. The US has a big problem with native american woman going missing and are never found. And the local cops not really carring.
@@HendersonHinchfinchI’m not from the area, but I’ve seen enough literature on the area that it has multiple, multiple types of causes, and police have actually been indicated on more than a few of the missing (but not declared dead) individuals. It’s really a prime area for opportunistic killers, people getting lost in the elements, etc. high poverty, low availability of public transport, and police that don’t take reports seriously.. so many are just classed as runaways. It’s like serial killers targeting prostitutes and drug addicts-police tend to just shrug and go oh well, they must’ve “disappeared” themselves. That kind of mentality absolutely attract and or encourage perpetrators. Missing Native American women are also not taken seriously in the US too.
I grew up on the highway of tears. I live 5 minutes from a monument dedicated to the victims 💔 I knew one of the victims you pictured, grew up with her. Sadly, her remains have not yet been found 😔

The dyatlov pass mystery has been recently solved. A small avalanche occured and fell on top of their tent. Hence them cutting their ways out of the tent and the intense internal injuries. The "shallow slope" thing was disproven, the slope was actually around 30 degrees and there was an underlying snow layer on the mountain that made the snow very slippery. Among other things scientists used the same avalanche and snow simulations used in the movie Frozen.
It is most definitely not solved. What you are describing is just a theory and there are things that contradict the avalanche theory. Have you watched LEMMINO's video on the subject because he presents his own theory on what happened and it matches the evidence quite well.
@@generallogic4153 it was said to be an avalanche and they tested it and tracks were not seen due to the weather in the area which immediately covered the tracks of an avalanche and any animal tracks/human tracks that the people who tested it made.
We are ignoring burn wounds among other things here that are just not possible in this theory. And yes burn wounds are different than frost burns. There are so many other factors including the tension in the diaries
Thank you so much for including Alberta Williams! This is still such a HUGE issue in Canada today in 2022 and so many indigenous woman go missing all the time! It's not just indigenous, but it's A LOT!!! To many for it to be okay. 🧡🧡🧡
@William Griffin The evidence that assumption is based on has been proven false time and time again. The ocean is a big place, it's not hard for a small plane to go missing.
Your analysis of the case of the Mary Celeste has the ring of perfection. I might add that aerosolized alcohol can be ingested by respiration, which might have led to actual alcohol intoxication. And denatured alcohol is nearly 200 proof or nearly 100% pure, which is a very volatile liquid, easily evaporated. That would have been an extremely hazardous cargo, then and now. Many times denatured alcohol also has some poisons added to make it unusable for imbibement. This voyage was kind of a recipe for disaster when you look at the whole situation. Very unfortunate.
I like the explanation that a barrel broke and fearful that the ship could explode they gathered in the life boat at a safe distance tethered to the ship. This makes even more sense considering there was a family on board with a young daughter and the crew would naturally feel very protective of her as they may not have seen their own children for many months. A rope long enough to be far enough from the ship would probably have to have been tied hastily from a number of mooring ropes and it's possible that one of the ropes had been damaged by rats or dry rot. The incident may have happened after dark as it's mentioned the indention of the young girl on the bed was evident, thereby allowing the bad portion of rope to go unnoticed or it was so hastily done they didn't take the time to check. I hope they died suddenly in a squall and that's the reason the lifeboat wasn't found, rather than dying slowly on the open ocean.
That was my first thought but then I realized the ship was only 6 Nautical Miles from the Azores, I would have thought sea faring people could have made it that far.
#1: Rockefeller ended up as snack food. #2: Highway of Tears is an ongoing tragedy. Vast numbers of women missing. #3: Dyatlov Pass is a complete mystery. Too many weird theories. #4: Mary Celeste. Hmmmmmm. The Sirens called them off the ship. #5: You should do more of these!
@@bgilley8199 not really. there were some new clues that lead to the surviving member that left the party before the incident. Also empty / wrong filled graves and so on that rather points to a very strange cover up.
@@herrschmidt5477 well obviously there's been a cover up if it was the Russian military/weapons testing. As far as "clues" that point to one man killing all the victims, not sure what you're referring to, and I've seen no coherent theory ever that points to a single person murdering the skiers.
@@bgilley8199 Unlikely that the military would make a mistake and then cover it up. And even if that was the case, l really can't imagine people being terrified by unexpected weapon use close by in the middle of a dark night.
I get that some of the missing 411 cases sometimes get rolled into the "out there" theories but if u look at a lot of them logically, there is some weird shit happening in the wildlife of the world. IMO.
Yes. I agree. Either it's in montains or forest in the wild. It's so insane that no1 has come out with a cause or answer.. There 's gotta be some type of evil spirit flying in these areas. I can't never come up with an idea about it. Only unnatural things like UFOs or spirits. That's my opinion..
Wow: I'm really happy to see that you're covering the Highway of Tears. In the 1990s, the RCMP in Vancouver discounted the disappearance of high risk women (ie. drug addicts and prostitutes) for years. It turns out they were being tortured and mutilated in the Picton pig farm outside of Vancouver. It could have been stopped years prior had the police considered them important enough to investigate.
Something similar happened with the Peter Sutcliffe, AKA the Yorkshire Ripper. His first murder was in October 1975, however by that point he had already assaulted four women - three in July and August that year, and one in 1969. At least one of those assaulted in summer '75 had been able to give a visual description, resulting in a drawing of his face, while the woman assaulted in 1969 had given the police enough information to identify Sutcliffe specifically. The police had interviewed him in 1969 and he'd admitted the assault, but the police didn't take the case any further because the victim was a prostitute. So before the first murder even happened, the police had at least one drawing of the Yorkshire Ripper's face, and had already interviewed him in relation to an assault on a woman where he confessed his guilt. After the second murder, in January '76, the police figured out there was a serial killer on the loose pretty quickly, but they also decided that he had a target profile - in their minds, "sluts and whores" - and this led them to ignore all three of his victims from summer '75 as they didn't fit this profile. Similarly the woman assaulted in 1969 was ignored due to the six year gap and different MO. Even when Sutcliffe targeted women who didn't fit that profile, the police stuck to it obsessively because it fitted with their own prejudices, and so the bodycount continued to climb. At least ten of the murders could have been prevented if it wasn't for the prejudices of the senior officers in charge of the case.
tavdy79 Infuriating...and infuriatingly unsurprising, as it seems this general attitude among police is a universal phenomenon even to this day. “Serve and Protect” my ass.
@@KooblyK Don't forget about the one victim, Edwards that half escaped Jeffrey Dahmer. The police intercepted Edwards. Dahmer explained it away as a lover's quarrel. Police need to be hired for IQ, not neck size.

Lemino did a video on the russian mystery (the third one) called "the dyaltov pass case" he did a deep dive and got a lot of translators and come to a pretty convincing conclusion.
@Brett Haffner I was going to comment on exactly that - Lemmino's excellent breakdown. Now, he also talked about that missing flight (I forget the name and I'm busy cooking supper) and that was also excellent.
6:08 I admit the man does resemble Michael quite a bit. The shape of the forehead, hairline, shape on nose... I can see why they thought/think it could be him.
@@fairladykd6734 yeah good point thats why I'm not denying it. its just naturally i find alot of people (myself included) want to jump to the fantastical explanations, so I make an effort to be more sceptical about stuff like this and not jump the gun.

Caitlyn Doughty (Ask a Mortician) did a video about the Dyatlov Pass involving the animators from the movie Frozen being brought on to help figure it out.
Yeah. Didn't they conclude that it actually *was* an avalanche, which was still possible despite the shallow slope because of the way that new snow settled on top of old snow. Or something.
The avalanche theory doesn't cover all the actual evidence. It was far more gruesome than snow could do and radioactive. Ps. Disney animators aren't experts on anything except Disney animation. Why don't you ask a Plumber to tell you what happened.
@@MW-nOttawaI mean, IIRC the original Jurassic Park ended up advancing research into dinosaurs at the time, so it's not impossible that a sufficiently advanced animation algorithm could help inform conclusions about an avalanche
@@MW-nOttawa The radioactive pants are best explained by the fact that two of them worked with radioisotopes in their studies. They were found in several groups. Those with severe trauma were found (months later) in a snow hole cut by a creek. They'd fallen in.
Mary Celeste is just heart breaking. "Quick everyone on this life boat!" "Don't you worry lil' Sophie everything will be just ok." "Captain! The rope broke!" "What? Row! Row!" "We can't reach her, cap!" "Don't you worry lil' Sophie... everything will be just ok"..
A rogue wave, a really big violent wave, could have struck & capsize them! May they rest in peace. :( Moments like this I wish I had a time ship so I could go back and say... "Do you need a ride?" ;)
This missing persons segment reminds me of my mothers cousin going missing in the 1920's during prohibition. He'd been to their house for dinner, left and a few days later a neighbor stopped by saying no one had seen him Search teams go out but no Clarence. Then 8 days into this disappearance the younger kids were playing by the road and began screaming and running for my grandmothers house. They said a monster was in coming, the men rush out and find cousin Clarence with 3rd degree burns but alive. They get him to the house and days later when he could speak he told them that he'd been to the house of the neighbor that reported him missing and they were cooking some bootleg corn whiskey and the still blew up and caught the barn on fire. He came to and found he was buried under hay in in the compost pile. The guy with the still thought he'd killed him and hid the body, only Clarence was still using it. Other than an ass kicking nothing happened to the neighbor... Probably because he had the still.
@@megaflamer 3rd degree burns and burying someone in a compost heap instead of checking whether they're still alive and maybe getting them medical help is funny now?
I once sailed from Aden to Malé in the Maldives as a crew member on a big yacht. The sea was flat calm, like a mirror. One evening, just before sunset, when the sky was gold and the ocean was purple, the captain put the engine in neutral so the crew could take a swim. A bunch of us jumped a little too soon, and the yacht, although no longer underway, was still gliding along silently. Those of us in the water had a long swim before we caught back up. I wasn't worried, it wasn't too far, but the sight of the boat moving away gave me the exact perspective of a man over board. Something that I had often contemplated, having done enough training to rescue one, and having spent plenty of time quietly staring across the horizon on innumerable watch shifts aboard various vessels. We were hundreds of miles from land and a couple of kilometres from the bottom, I felt pretty damned insignificant I can tell you. Sobering stuff.
A local yacht had a similar tale, except they drowned. They were all drunk, just a local cruise, and someone jumped over the side, it looked like fun so they all jumped in, only to discover no one has dropped the ladder. They couldn’t get back on the boat, all but two drowned. So the survivors told the story of the drunken mistake, but if all had drowned then it would have suddenly been another mystery.
Friends dad tried sail-surfing on a Mediterranean holiday, when the wind took over and sent this overly confident novice to the next country. If I remember correctly, he started from Greece and ended up in Turkey. The Turkish coastguard had to take him back on a boat. The distance wasnt that much, but he said later that was the first time he felt truly alone; not able to steer, too much speed for comfort, only open water around and _maybe_ something in the horizon. Now, some decades later, its only a funny anecdote, but he wasnt too amused at the time. The coastguards had been, tho :)
Thank you for mentioning the highway of tears. A lot of non- British Columbian youtubers have been talking about it lately which is amazing for bringing the awareness.

Odd how nobody cares about the men who are missing, in the bush, while playing amongst the bears. Not to downplay the actual rapes that took place - and we all know that is endemic to the region - but "disappeared in bear country while walking alone, drunk" is not the same as "raped and murdered until proven otherwise". It's dangerous country, we all know that and accept as one of life's little risks.

@@Xaurii I confused nothing. When some "disappears" it means we don't know what happened to them, right? When the men disappear, we know it's likely "bush" related. So why jump to sexual assault when a girl disappears? Walking the highways, alone, at night, in bear and cougar country is not safe for someone as small as many women are. Even the men are aware to be cautious, but are big enough that at least the cougars will stay away - and generally experienced enough to know how to deal with "most" bears.
Rest In Peace to all the victims. For those of the highway of tears, there needs to be more justice and more done for them, the families and the communities

Hey, Joe, your ad at the end makes me cry in grief and frustration for our society: the fact that logic and reasoning are skills that adults need to learn - AFTER leaving school.
Great point. One I try to make myself pretty regularly. Probably too bloody often. But it is indeed a damn shame, especially as many never bother to do, or remain utterly unaware of it. However while we live in societies where religion are still pushed, have and can exert influence, where it is in the interests of the powers that be that there remains a large pool of credulous, gullible, not overly logical or deep thinking individuals to serve this society, I kind of doubt we are going to get Logic 101 and critical thinking classes in schools anytime soon. Much easier to manipulate if people continue to think in a more emotional type of mode. Or maybe I'm just being overly sceptical or even a shade cynical.
When I was a young woman , I believed in all kinds of paranormal things. As I matured and gained some knowledge of the world I became critical in my views of such things. I like to think I still have an open mind. Now however I find that with most mysteries the simple explanation is the most likely the answer. Joe Scott, I enjoy your videos. Your content is intelligently delivered and interesting. Thank you!
But what if its even scarier inside? Maybe your house is haunted or someone is secretly living in your ceiling. What if drug dealers hid their stash in the wall space and they're coming to get it? Also most accidents happen in the home. I say get out now!

@@joniii_ Maybe the crew left behind a pipe or candle that was still lit, which ignited the alcohol vapors and caused a big blowout. Then the crew cut the rope, thinking the ship would go down soon, but the blowout didn't even light the ship on fire. Then they watched the ship sail away.

Thank you for talking about the highway of tears. It’s our biggest shame and I hope that with more people talking about it, more justice can be served for our stolen sisters.
I like your theory on Marie Celeste because it's possible. People those times gets easily nervous, panic immediately and would do whatever they thought they should, especially when the captain was the one who give orders... It's really sad because most likely they were all in shock.
The RUclips channel "Bedtime Stories" has a video series devoted to the Dyatlov Incident. I highly recommend it. The conclusions it comes up with are both more realistic and more terrifying.

I feel the same about the death of Elisa Lam. People insist she was a victim of foul play when it's quite a strong theory that her bipolar episode made her do everything. We know the lid to the tank was open, so that supports the idea that she went in there by herself.

In Dyatlov case one came forward in the recent years on the verge of his death claiming that he was in the know of what happened but kept silent for all these years for the fear of revenge. Because it was actually Mansi who slaughtered those students. One piece of puzzle is the guy on the team who was claimed to have fallen sick and returned, before the team was killed. The old man said that on the trip the team stumbled upon a Mansi cave and at least one of them or two went in to investigate and plundered their treasures and religious artifacts, unknown to the rest of the team. Then one person claimed to be a sick and took off with the treasure. Mansi are peaceful people and this image is promoted by the Soviet propaganda, but it is their land and they can be brutal if you desecrate their religious sites. Police did have a hunch and it is the simplest explanation that there was foul play, but pursuing this lead was a hopeless dead end because Mansi would not tell on their own ever. And it would be a disaster in indigenous peoples policy trying to push with this line. Basically people cut their way out of the tent to get a Fighting chance and some tried to make a run for their life when they were attacked by Mansi and tortured to extract information about the treasure - missing tongue, fractured skull? the internal damage without external damage is consistent with a kick with a boot in the stomach. No clothes could be also be explained as a way of torture. they didn't have information about the treasure so they were just left for dead in the cold and those who put up resistance were killed.
Isn't already debunked? A tent fire from a makeshift stove forced them out of the tent. They weren't well dressed because they were inside the tent, also some of them were drunk. They seek shelter in the woods while those who are better dressed go out further to find materials. They later died from hypothermia and some were buried by avalanche, this may explain the fracture. Edit: also the "radioactive" clothing belonged to the 3 men working in a nuclear plant.
It definitely is the one closest to an X-Files episode. Not a single solid piece of evidence, and every theory has something going for it. So I'm going with aliens.
Horrific but not mysterious. Used his pigs for body disposal. Covered by pervasive twin biases: indigenous women & prostitutes. Many of the women, possibly all, were likely drug users. He murdered nearly 50 women. Police complacency played a large part. Many people just melt away in that neighbourhood that Pickton plied his trade in, Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. His victims were just some of the hundreds who deliberately try to hide. He had easy access to a highly vulnerable population. And, yeah, he was/is a monster.

@@lizc6393 From Wiki: Russia opened a new investigation into the incident in 2019, and its conclusions were presented in July 2020: that an avalanche had led to the deaths. Survivors of the avalanche had been forced to suddenly leave their camp in low visibility conditions with inadequate clothing, and had died of hypothermia. Andrey Kuryakov, deputy head of the regional prosecutor's office, said: "It was a heroic struggle. There was no panic. But they had no chance to save themselves under the circumstances."[1] A study led by scientists from EPFL and ETH Zurich, published in 2021, suggested that a type of avalanche known as a slab avalanche could explain some of the injuries.[2][3] Damn, that's tragic!

13:24, This fact may seem inexplicable, and deserving of more wild theories, but the fact is one of the students was majoring in Nuclear Physics, so it makes sense that he would have been contaminated with some radioactive particles from the lab, and would have spread that radioactivity to his classmates during the journey.
Joe you made an error with Michael Rockafeller's biography: John D. Rockefeller was his great-grandfather. His grandfather was John D. Rockafeller Jr., and Nelson Rockefeller was his dad.
Well, depends... experts have always thought this theory would seem plausible to thos who are not really familiar with how a crossing on such a ship used to go in those time (which covers about 99% of people - like me :D). In reality such a course of action would have been highly illogical and thus, knowing the captain knew his trade very well, highly improbable. Not entirely impossible of course, but this theory does not explain quite a lot of things (sure, there is no theory that does explain everything, either). Luckily the case has vast literature accessible online, some of which is even credible and can be taken seriously - shame these are buried so deeply beneath all the rubbish of fantasy...
I love the more historic, scientific, and skeptical looks at some of the theories on these stories. I’ve heard other story tellers that sort of elude to more supernatural explanations rather than the more likely scenarios.
This is the first time I've heard of the frayed rope tied to the ship, the wine in the hold and the theory that you presented. IMO you solved it. I'm satisfied. Love your content!!
Woah as a Canadian I feel conflicted on one hand he's talking about Canada for all the wrong reasons. On the other hand I do strongly believe that bringing attention to the serious issue of missing and murdered indigenous women in Canada can help put pressure and scrutiny on all levels of authority and society to do something to change it.
@@pakde8002 well no, but your point's still valid. Plus I think it's worth mentioning that we should focus on not just solving these murders but also addressing and changing the underlying issues that lead to these murders, or else they will continue to happen way too often.
Its all a ploy to get more money and land, would not put it past the chiefs who are like crime kingpins to have done it, its not like the Canadian justice system will touch them or they scream ricism :)
Love how when you talk about a topic completely tangential topics then finally reach your video topic. Howdy from Valley View, TX. Would like to meet you someday imagine you'd be a hoot to conversatewith.
You should look more into the 411 cases. David goes through them with a fine tooth comb and wont even mention one without it being pretty "mysterious" on many levels.
"Could it have been pirats?" Along with not taking the valuables, pirats were usually dependent on the food they stole from ships to keep them selves alive.
Pirates, will take it ALL, so no, this was not pirates, All the goods plus the ship would be theirs and they wouldn’t be letting it go, pirate life Valuables and supplies to be traded, pirates dream
Not pirates, silly, Pirats. They’re rats. Made of pie. And they live in the mountains where they loot and plunder hikers. That’s why you’re always supposed to carry cheese with you.
I like the theory of the parachute mines, primary blast injuries from the shock wave can occur with no external injuries. It would also explain the panicked escape from the tent and hiding in the trees.
Nicholas Ovel The explanation might not involve parachute mines, this video has a really good theory on what happened: ruclips.net/video/Y8RigxxiilI/видео.html

As a medic in the army I can tell you with absolute certainty that explosive concussion waves can cause severe internal injuries without outward damage being obvious. Especially to the chest cavity and head. Science.
But how could it cause internal injuries with no outward sign on some of them but not everybody? I believe you are telling the truth, I just don't think it applies to dyatlov pass.
@@natecloe8535 blast injuries are fascinating (and obviously tragic, but interesting nonetheless). there are tons of factors that determine the severity of injuries, such as proximity to a blast, the surrounding terrain, if there is anything blocking a person from being hit with all of the force of the blast (like a tree or some other natural barriers), etc. the thing i found most interesting when reading about blast injuries is the way that they’re treated. usually those with the most mild cases go to the hospitals first and the most injured people are treated by EMS and get to the hospital significantly later. this actually does help medical staff predict the number of victims and it helps them prepare to treat the most injured people.
another thing to note is that people with TBI (traumatic brain injuries) act almost exactly the same as somebody with PTSD so it’s very difficult to tell who is suffering from mental illness vs who has a brain injury (not that both conditions shouldn’t receive immediate medical attention, but just that it’s hard to determine the extent of injuries). this is all according to the CDC, i became interested and read some of their articles on different types of injuries people get in war.
my point is, it’s very very difficult to tell if the injuries of the poor russian hikers were caused by an explosion of some type, but it does seem like a probable explanation. not many injuries are entirely internal.
It was an avalanche, technical advances allowed us to create a simulation of the event showing it was an avalanche

I actually drove on the highway of tears while going to visit my aunt and uncle. It is so eerie and depressing. So many First Nations women go missing in Canada, it’s a serious problem that needs much more attention.
yeah it's kinda sad how much people in Canada ignore it I mean they literally not even that long ago knocked down a bunch of they're houses to build a road
It’s actually split pretty evenly between white and First Nations women, and some guys have vanished there as well. Even today, you still see people hitchhiking around Moricetown, Hazelton, etc. Mostly seems to be teen girls. WTH? 🤷🏻♂️
If this is not being given attention by Canadian authorities, it certainly should. A bunch of First Nations women just disappearing needs to be invested and I mean a seriious investigation. If not then Canada's reputation as a non-raciat society is just another lie. (I don't believe that for a moment and this lack of investigation into these women's disappearances tend to reinforce my belief).
@@jusportel I see that down here in the states, too, despite repeated warnings that hitchhiking in very dangerous. Maybe it's a belief that they won't become a statistic.
@@harrietharlow9929 yeah no Canada is still very racist especially in older people for both black and native (coming from a Canadian) actually they have hidden the fact that natives are attacked for ages
My mother’s babysitter was actually a victim on the highway of tears. Funnily enough here in Canada, the “official number” of missing women is something like 18, but everyone here in BC knows it could be in the hundreds - the police don’t really do a lot about it here.
How do you all know it could be in the hundreds? I have heard some people say it could be as many as 40 but never in the hundreds.
@@HendersonHinchfinch I could see it being in the 100s. Run aways and people not from the area and really have no one that is going to look for them go missing. It would not take much to make someone disapear without anyone go looking for them. The US has a big problem with native american woman going missing and are never found. And the local cops not really carring.
@@HendersonHinchfinchI’m not from the area, but I’ve seen enough literature on the area that it has multiple, multiple types of causes, and police have actually been indicated on more than a few of the missing (but not declared dead) individuals. It’s really a prime area for opportunistic killers, people getting lost in the elements, etc. high poverty, low availability of public transport, and police that don’t take reports seriously.. so many are just classed as runaways. It’s like serial killers targeting prostitutes and drug addicts-police tend to just shrug and go oh well, they must’ve “disappeared” themselves. That kind of mentality absolutely attract and or encourage perpetrators.
Missing Native American women are also not taken seriously in the US too.
I believe it could be serial killer of course

The dyatlov pass mystery has been recently solved. A small avalanche occured and fell on top of their tent. Hence them cutting their ways out of the tent and the intense internal injuries. The "shallow slope" thing was disproven, the slope was actually around 30 degrees and there was an underlying snow layer on the mountain that made the snow very slippery. Among other things scientists used the same avalanche and snow simulations used in the movie Frozen.
It is most definitely not solved. What you are describing is just a theory and there are things that contradict the avalanche theory. Have you watched LEMMINO's video on the subject because he presents his own theory on what happened and it matches the evidence quite well.
As yes, the classic pants irradiating avalanche.
@@Rock-Lickertwo of the people in the party worked with radioactive elements and safety culture was a bit more lax back then.
@@generallogic4153 it was said to be an avalanche and they tested it and tracks were not seen due to the weather in the area which immediately covered the tracks of an avalanche and any animal tracks/human tracks that the people who tested it made.

@William Griffin The evidence that assumption is based on has been proven false time and time again. The ocean is a big place, it's not hard for a small plane to go missing.
Your analysis of the case of the Mary Celeste has the ring of perfection. I might add that aerosolized alcohol can be ingested by respiration, which might have led to actual alcohol intoxication. And denatured alcohol is nearly 200 proof or nearly 100% pure, which is a very volatile liquid, easily evaporated. That would have been an extremely hazardous cargo, then and now. Many times denatured alcohol also has some poisons added to make it unusable for imbibement. This voyage was kind of a recipe for disaster when you look at the whole situation. Very unfortunate.
jbj27406 That’s what denatured alcohol is.
I like the explanation that a barrel broke and fearful that the ship could explode they gathered in the life boat at a safe distance tethered to the ship. This makes even more sense considering there was a family on board with a young daughter and the crew would naturally feel very protective of her as they may not have seen their own children for many months. A rope long enough to be far enough from the ship would probably have to have been tied hastily from a number of mooring ropes and it's possible that one of the ropes had been damaged by rats or dry rot. The incident may have happened after dark as it's mentioned the indention of the young girl on the bed was evident, thereby allowing the bad portion of rope to go unnoticed or it was so hastily done they didn't take the time to check. I hope they died suddenly in a squall and that's the reason the lifeboat wasn't found, rather than dying slowly on the open ocean.
This does seem most likely for Marie Celeste, and this seems the saddest of these stories. The smallest of details can have the gravest result.
That was my first thought but then I realized the ship was only 6 Nautical Miles from the Azores, I would have thought sea faring people could have made it that far.
I was thinking this myself.

@@ThunderStruck15 Con man who? Joe? Rockefeller? The boat?
Wow: I'm really happy to see that you're covering the Highway of Tears. In the 1990s, the RCMP in Vancouver discounted the disappearance of high risk women (ie. drug addicts and prostitutes) for years. It turns out they were being tortured and mutilated in the Picton pig farm outside of Vancouver. It could have been stopped years prior had the police considered them important enough to investigate.
Something similar happened with the Peter Sutcliffe, AKA the Yorkshire Ripper.
His first murder was in October 1975, however by that point he had already assaulted four women - three in July and August that year, and one in 1969. At least one of those assaulted in summer '75 had been able to give a visual description, resulting in a drawing of his face, while the woman assaulted in 1969 had given the police enough information to identify Sutcliffe specifically. The police had interviewed him in 1969 and he'd admitted the assault, but the police didn't take the case any further because the victim was a prostitute.
So before the first murder even happened, the police had at least one drawing of the Yorkshire Ripper's face, and had already interviewed him in relation to an assault on a woman where he confessed his guilt.
After the second murder, in January '76, the police figured out there was a serial killer on the loose pretty quickly, but they also decided that he had a target profile - in their minds, "sluts and whores" - and this led them to ignore all three of his victims from summer '75 as they didn't fit this profile. Similarly the woman assaulted in 1969 was ignored due to the six year gap and different MO. Even when Sutcliffe targeted women who didn't fit that profile, the police stuck to it obsessively because it fitted with their own prejudices, and so the bodycount continued to climb. At least ten of the murders could have been prevented if it wasn't for the prejudices of the senior officers in charge of the case.
tavdy79 Infuriating...and infuriatingly unsurprising, as it seems this general attitude among police is a universal phenomenon even to this day. “Serve and Protect” my ass.

Love that channel! Joe Scott's and Caitlyn Doughty's presentation styles and senses of humour are quite similar.
Yeah. Didn't they conclude that it actually *was* an avalanche, which was still possible despite the shallow slope because of the way that new snow settled on top of old snow. Or something.
The avalanche theory doesn't cover all the actual evidence. It was far more gruesome than snow could do and radioactive. Ps. Disney animators aren't experts on anything except Disney animation. Why don't you ask a Plumber to tell you what happened.
@@MW-nOttawaI mean, IIRC the original Jurassic Park ended up advancing research into dinosaurs at the time, so it's not impossible that a sufficiently advanced animation algorithm could help inform conclusions about an avalanche

This missing persons segment reminds me of my mothers cousin going missing in the 1920's during prohibition. He'd been to their house for dinner, left and a few days later a neighbor stopped by saying no one had seen him Search teams go out but no Clarence. Then 8 days into this disappearance the younger kids were playing by the road and began screaming and running for my grandmothers house. They said a monster was in coming, the men rush out and find cousin Clarence with 3rd degree burns but alive. They get him to the house and days later when he could speak he told them that he'd been to the house of the neighbor that reported him missing and they were cooking some bootleg corn whiskey and the still blew up and caught the barn on fire. He came to and found he was buried under hay in in the compost pile. The guy with the still thought he'd killed him and hid the body, only Clarence was still using it. Other than an ass kicking nothing happened to the neighbor... Probably because he had the still.

I once sailed from Aden to Malé in the Maldives as a crew member on a big yacht. The sea was flat calm, like a mirror. One evening, just before sunset, when the sky was gold and the ocean was purple, the captain put the engine in neutral so the crew could take a swim. A bunch of us jumped a little too soon, and the yacht, although no longer underway, was still gliding along silently. Those of us in the water had a long swim before we caught back up. I wasn't worried, it wasn't too far, but the sight of the boat moving away gave me the exact perspective of a man over board. Something that I had often contemplated, having done enough training to rescue one, and having spent plenty of time quietly staring across the horizon on innumerable watch shifts aboard various vessels. We were hundreds of miles from land and a couple of kilometres from the bottom, I felt pretty damned insignificant I can tell you. Sobering stuff.
And that's why I find the ocean to be utterly terrifying.
A local yacht had a similar tale, except they drowned. They were all drunk, just a local cruise, and someone jumped over the side, it looked like fun so they all jumped in, only to discover no one has dropped the ladder. They couldn’t get back on the boat, all but two drowned. So the survivors told the story of the drunken mistake, but if all had drowned then it would have suddenly been another mystery.
"a couple of kilometres from the bottom" that sent shivers down my spine the ocean is terrifying

Friends dad tried sail-surfing on a Mediterranean holiday, when the wind took over and sent this overly confident novice to the next country. If I remember correctly, he started from Greece and ended up in Turkey. The Turkish coastguard had to take him back on a boat. The distance wasnt that much, but he said later that was the first time he felt truly alone; not able to steer, too much speed for comfort, only open water around and _maybe_ something in the horizon. Now, some decades later, its only a funny anecdote, but he wasnt too amused at the time. The coastguards had been, tho :)

I grew up in the region... we spent virtually ALL of our free time in the bush. Every town seemed to have that one guy who had his face ripped up by a bear. Odd how nobody cares about the men who are missing, in the bush, while playing amongst the bears.

Hey, Joe, your ad at the end makes me cry in grief and frustration for our society: the fact that logic and reasoning are skills that adults need to learn - AFTER leaving school.
Great point. One I try to make myself pretty regularly. Probably too bloody often.
But it is indeed a damn shame, especially as many never bother to do, or remain utterly unaware of it.
However while we live in societies where religion are still pushed, have and can exert influence, where it is in the interests of the powers that be that there remains a large pool of credulous, gullible, not overly logical or deep thinking individuals to serve this society, I kind of doubt we are going to get Logic 101 and critical thinking classes in schools anytime soon.
Much easier to manipulate if people continue to think in a more emotional type of mode.

But what if its even scarier inside? Maybe your house is haunted or someone is secretly living in your ceiling. What if drug dealers hid their stash in the wall space and they're coming to get it? Also most accidents happen in the home. I say get out now!

Lauren G hell yes! i love damn interesting. i rarely see it mentioned and it’s a shame more people don’t read it!
Man these drums at the beginning are iconic
I’m blown away I’ve never heard or read of the untied rope on the Mary Celeste, I think your theory is solid and the best I’ve heard. I’d almost consider it solved tbh, Occam’s Razor all the way on this one
Thing is the rope was cut, not untied
@@joniii_ Maybe the crew left behind a pipe or candle that was still lit, which ignited the alcohol vapors and caused a big blowout.
Then the crew cut the rope, thinking the ship would go down soon, but the blowout didn't even light the ship on fire.
Then they watched the ship sail away.
0:27... "Dickens was known for his cliff hangers" then my WiFi dropped and I was sat here with a buffering circle thinking Ohhh Joe you joker you ..
Then I realised it was actually the wifi 🙃 🤦♂️
“Maybe he wanted to get away from society” fucking SAME dude
Not true no one what’s to dispere
Off to Indonesia!
Loved this.
I am satisfied with your Marie Celeste explanation.
A feckin knot 🙄 seems extremely likely to me knowing this about the evaporation of the alcohol.
This channel has brought me and my sons so much happiness over the past year. Collectively, we are more knowledgeable and it feels good! My 6 year old loves going to school to talk about what he learned from Joe! Although, he can only grasp some of the subjects but I try to explain them in terms he will understand, I do okay lol. But thank you, Joe and your team, you are teaching many generations and make it fun same time!
I recommend the channel LEMINO for the Dyatlov case
"Theories range from batshit crazy to...eh?" I don't know why, but I found this hilarious.
you know something else comming from batshit? :)
I thought Joe’s theory on the Mary Celeste was about the best theory I’ve heard on the subject. It makes far more sense than aliens or ghost pirates.
Thank you for talking about the highway of tears. It’s our biggest shame and I hope that with more people talking about it, more justice can be served for our stolen sisters.
I like your theory on Marie Celeste because it's possible. People those times gets easily nervous, panic immediately and would do whatever they thought they should, especially when the captain was the one who give orders... It's really sad because most likely they were all in shock.
The RUclips channel "Bedtime Stories" has a video series devoted to the Dyatlov Incident. I highly recommend it. The conclusions it comes up with are both more realistic and more terrifying.
There's also a great video by the great Lemmino.
I love Bedtime Stories, him, Joe, and Mrballen are my faves😊
Honestly tho, they’re the exact same conclusions on every video because only so many different things could’ve happened.
Thanks so much for your comment about "Bedtime Stories" channel and their Dyatlov Pass series. I've watched quite a few videos about this thought provoking event and it will be great to see and hear realistic and terrifying conclusions when a lot of the time I get neither. Have a great day 🇦🇺🤠👏
@@sarahoshea9603 I love Mr Ballen to bits! xo 🇦🇺👏💖
"We only riot over things that are important... like the supermarket having toilet paper"
The Dyatlov Pass Incident has been my favourite unsolved mystery for years! Such a bizarre case! Thank you for the video, Joe :)
If that is the case than I can recommend this video ruclips.net/video/Y8RigxxiilI/видео.html
If you don't know this already
I recommend bedtime stories, they have three videos on this case, and the last one offers a quite convincing explanation based on a similar accident in Sweden where there was a survivor.
@@ozAqVvhhNue booyah
@@ozAqVvhhNue Had a reply typed out to comment this already. This guys channel is filled with interesting videos. Roanoke, the Universal S, Cicada, ect.
As for the pass, his explanation just comes across so perfect. Uses the small bits of evidence left around, uses no leaps of logic, arriving at an explanation that perfectly explains every aspect of the incident.
@Joescott i think we need a part 2!
My favorite mysterious disappearance is james tedford who was in a trip to bennington vermont on a bus and fell asleep.Then when they got there he was not even on the bus
D.B. Cooper 👌👌
Dan cooper bro
And he didn't rob the plane
I feel the same about the death of Elisa Lam. People insist she was a victim of foul play when it's quite a strong theory that her bipolar episode made her do everything. We know the lid to the tank was open, so that supports the idea that she went in there by herself.
Oooo! Interesting topic! I love how you hook everyone to the theme of the story and you explain things fast... thanks joe Scott!
I live in Prince Rupert on highway 16 (highway of tears) and knew 2 of the girls Ramona Wilson and Delphine Nikal that went missing. I'm always very happy to this covered thank you so much. It is strongly believed it is around 40 and a few of those victims were murdered by a copycat killer
I know that it's not but a missing tongue sounds really personal. 🫀
Me: books, cliffhangeres, ok cool. I like where this is going.
Joe: 5 mysterious deaths/
me: breaks neck from such a hard turn
Jodah175 protect ya neck
Make that six mysterious deaths
I wonder if the fumes on the ship had everyone 3 sheets to wind when they hit the life boat? Might explain how experienced sailors failed to tie a knot properly.
Knot likely.
CO2.
@@MinkytheMinkY CO2 is heaver than air. Evaporated denatured alcohol would rise up and wreak all sorts of havoc.
It was a siren...
@@abradolfhonkler9287 so it's not the CO2? BUT THÉ EtOH? I've worked in wineries, so we open the rooms storing the barrels 30minutes before we go in to off gas and not die of CO2 poisoning. That's where I'm coming from.
Speaking of the Mary Celeste, have you ever thought about doing a video on Ghost ships? There are a good amount of really eerie tales, like the Ourang Medan, and I think it’d be an interesting topic.
E yah
For sure! As a former sailor I really want to see this! Also, an episode on rogue waves could be interesting.
Those crazy sailors no way a wave could reach 100ft without some tsunami causes.
Rogue wave *exists*
Hi, Papua New Guinean here! Rockefeller did not go to New Guinea but our neighbour West Papua, which sits between us and Indonesia. While technally counted among our 22 provinces, West Papua is considered a separate place among the general population. Thank you. 🙂
Joe: We humans crave closure
The Walking Dead writers:
And yet whenever I complain about indy games like Limbo or Inside or Submachine and how they completely fail to have anything resembling a satisfying conclusion, people yell at me and tell me I'm just supposed to think about it and come up with my own answers. Screw that! This is your story, gimme my goddang closure!
I think the Russian group disappearances was the most intriguing
In Dyatlov case one came forward in the recent years on the verge of his death claiming that he was in the know of what happened but kept silent for all these years for the fear of revenge. Because it was actually Mansi who slaughtered those students. One piece of puzzle is the guy on the team who was claimed to have fallen sick and returned, before the team was killed. The old man said that on the trip the team stumbled upon a Mansi cave and at least one of them or two went in to investigate and plundered their treasures and religious artifacts, unknown to the rest of the team. Then one person claimed to be a sick and took off with the treasure. Mansi are peaceful people and this image is promoted by the Soviet propaganda, but it is their land and they can be brutal if you desecrate their religious sites. Police did have a hunch and it is the simplest explanation that there was foul play, but pursuing this lead was a hopeless dead end because Mansi would not tell on their own ever. And it would be a disaster in indigenous peoples policy trying to push with this line. Basically people cut their way out of the tent to get a Fighting chance and some tried to make a run for their life when they were attacked by Mansi and tortured to extract information about the treasure - missing tongue, fractured skull? the internal damage without external damage is consistent with a kick with a boot in the stomach. No clothes could be also be explained as a way of torture. they didn't have information about the treasure so they were just left for dead in the cold and those who put up resistance were killed.
Lemmino made a great video about the dyatlov disappearance.
I think ancient aliens covers this disappearance and more details about it better. In my opinion I think it’s worth a watch.
Isn't already debunked? A tent fire from a makeshift stove forced them out of the tent. They weren't well dressed because they were inside the tent, also some of them were drunk. They seek shelter in the woods while those who are better dressed go out further to find materials. They later died from hypothermia and some were buried by avalanche, this may explain the fracture.
Edit: also the "radioactive" clothing belonged to the 3 men working in a nuclear plant.
It definitely is the one closest to an X-Files episode. Not a single solid piece of evidence, and every theory has something going for it. So I'm going with aliens.
Totally weird but true....
The Pig Farmer, Robert “Willy” Pickton........a real life horror story.
Another monster in the long line of Pacific Northwest serial killers.
Horrific but not mysterious. Used his pigs for body disposal. Covered by pervasive twin biases: indigenous women & prostitutes. Many of the women, possibly all, were likely drug users.
He murdered nearly 50 women. Police complacency played a large part. Many people just melt away in that neighbourhood that Pickton plied his trade in, Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. His victims were just some of the hundreds who deliberately try to hide. He had easy access to a highly vulnerable population. And, yeah, he was/is a monster.
@@CarFreeSegnitz dont forget he fed their bodies to people too 🤮🤢🤮😈😈😈
@Connor Bolen It's probably because it's so isolated that people go stir crazy. If you have a preexisting mental condition and combine that with intense isolation your bound to snap, eventually.
@@yellowbelly7863 Well, that certainly doesn't bode well for everyone who's under mandatory stay at home orders....
I don’t know how I randomly came upon your videos but I’m HOOKED! Love your attitude, your approach, your topics, and your humor. Thank you and thanks RUclips algorithm!!
I heard the Dyatlov Pass recently was "solved"
I mean, it's a pretty damn solid theory.
@@lizc6393
From Wiki:
Russia opened a new investigation into the incident in 2019, and its conclusions were presented in July 2020: that an avalanche had led to the deaths. Survivors of the avalanche had been forced to suddenly leave their camp in low visibility conditions with inadequate clothing, and had died of hypothermia. Andrey Kuryakov, deputy head of the regional prosecutor's office, said: "It was a heroic struggle. There was no panic. But they had no chance to save themselves under the circumstances."[1] A study led by scientists from EPFL and ETH Zurich, published in 2021, suggested that a type of avalanche known as a slab avalanche could explain some of the injuries.[2][3]
Damn, that's tragic!
He did pretty bad covering this, especially with the radioactivity.
It was to explained my satisfaction. Sometimes the landscape is not what you think it is under the snow.
It has :)
23:11 "That's how life works..." My mind immediately went to the frozen O-Ring on Challenger's SRB joint. A small little detail that caused a horrific event.
criminal negligence imo
mine did to the merlin that blew up because one of the sensors was clogged up with cleaning fluid.
If anyone is interested to hear an extremely convincing theory as to what exactly happened on Dyatlov Pass in excruciating detail, check out Leminnos video. The dude is incredible.
Agreed. It's a great video.
Or the three episodes Bedtime Stories did, both creators made compelling vids.
Yup I watched that video he made on it. It’s really good and mysterious at the same time
I like Lemino's theory, but I think this is still pretty compelling. ruclips.net/video/0xzJGDbXe74/видео.html
Don't shame me for going into "woo woo teritory".
I was literally just about to comment this
Ohhhh.... another amazing storyteller! 👏 You and @MrBallen are AMAZING. Keep up the great work. You have yourself a new subscriber!
I too watch both Mr ballen and Joe everyday. Awesome guys.
"well, its my channel and i thought they were interesting" Assert your dominance! lmao. i laughed so hard. heh.
The disappearance of the franklin expedition, although it’s relatively well explained, is really interesting to me.
One day during all this mess I just want Joe to spin around one time wearing a facemask. It would make lockdown bearable just to see that.
Paul Stockton that would be so much fun to see! I hope Joe sees your comment so this becomes a reality!
No, no it wouldn't tired of hearing about it and seeing it every where you go!!
Vikki Gardner I bet you’re so much fun at parties.
I love your content! I am also fascinated by mysterious things that happen, especially if they are true. I’ve spent way too much time listening to you & it will probably continue. Thanks for sharing!
13:24, This fact may seem inexplicable, and deserving of more wild theories, but the fact is one of the students was majoring in Nuclear Physics, so it makes sense that he would have been contaminated with some radioactive particles from the lab, and would have spread that radioactivity to his classmates during the journey.
Better call it "No Answers With Joe" 😂😂😂
Joe you made an error with Michael Rockafeller's biography: John D. Rockefeller was his great-grandfather. His grandfather was John D. Rockafeller Jr., and Nelson Rockefeller was his dad.
Recently found your videos and im obsessed!
that whole thing about humans seeking answers to unknown things is kinda appropriate for "ANSWERS with joe" lol
I'm digging your theory about the ship. it's totally plausible
Well, depends... experts have always thought this theory would seem plausible to thos who are not really familiar with how a crossing on such a ship used to go in those time (which covers about 99% of people - like me :D). In reality such a course of action would have been highly illogical and thus, knowing the captain knew his trade very well, highly improbable. Not entirely impossible of course, but this theory does not explain quite a lot of things (sure, there is no theory that does explain everything, either).
Luckily the case has vast literature accessible online, some of which is even credible and can be taken seriously - shame these are buried so deeply beneath all the rubbish of fantasy...
As someone born in British Columbia, thank you for bringing some attention to the Highway of Tears.
I love the more historic, scientific, and skeptical looks at some of the theories on these stories. I’ve heard other story tellers that sort of elude to more supernatural explanations rather than the more likely scenarios.
Yes- Canam Missing 411- with David Polidus- Thank you for at least giving him a shout out on your channel! He really deserves so much credit.
"Woo-woo territory" i am absolutely using this in conversation.
Sound the woo-woo alarm!
*woo-woo woo-woo*
This is the first time I've heard of the frayed rope tied to the ship, the wine in the hold and the theory that you presented. IMO you solved it. I'm satisfied. Love your content!!
I love that you bring scientific perspective to cases that are very often given to mystic explanations just because
Woah as a Canadian I feel conflicted on one hand he's talking about Canada for all the wrong reasons. On the other hand I do strongly believe that bringing attention to the serious issue of missing and murdered indigenous women in Canada can help put pressure and scrutiny on all levels of authority and society to do something to change it.
Canada has delicious bacon and maple syrup and beautiful scenery. Happy? Now go solve the damned murders!
@@pakde8002 well no, but your point's still valid. Plus I think it's worth mentioning that we should focus on not just solving these murders but also addressing and changing the underlying issues that lead to these murders, or else they will continue to happen way too often.
Lucas Harris it’s my reality as an indigenous Canadian citizen
Its all a ploy to get more money and land, would not put it past the chiefs who are like crime kingpins to have done it, its not like the Canadian justice system will touch them or they scream ricism :)
@@drake000666 people like you and your rascism are the reason these women disappear and little is done

Howdy from Valley View, TX. Would like to meet you someday imagine you'd be a hoot to conversatewith.
Wow, this response looked like a stroke. It was quick and on mobile.
Hey, thanks!
You should look more into the 411 cases. David goes through them with a fine tooth comb and wont even mention one without it being pretty "mysterious" on many levels.
"Could it have been pirats?" Along with not taking the valuables, pirats were usually dependent on the food they stole from ships to keep them selves alive.
Pirates, will take it ALL, so no, this was not pirates, All the goods plus the ship would be theirs and they wouldn’t be letting it go, pirate life
Valuables and supplies to be traded, pirates dream
Not pirates, silly, Pirats. They’re rats. Made of pie. And they live in the mountains where they loot and plunder hikers. That’s why you’re always supposed to carry cheese with you.
I hope you're doing ok during these times. And thank you for the entertainment
Love this one. I somehow missed this post from last year. Would love for you to do another one like this. Big fan of the unexplained.
Closure. I think it's time we had closure on the whole idea of closure.
It's interesting rewatching this knowing now what most likely happened at Dyatlov Pass because of a Disney movie.
I came down here to say the same thing, basically - "Frozen solved Dyatlov!"
Hey Joe!.. great to hear from you! Always entertaining. Always enlightening. Thanks, Joe!
That Marie Celeste story was really tragic. I think your theory seems entirely plausible.
You're so annoying yet, so strangely so pleasant and engaging. I love the intelligence and fun that you put into your videos.
I like the theory of the parachute mines, primary blast injuries from the shock wave can occur with no external injuries. It would also explain the panicked escape from the tent and hiding in the trees.
Also makes sense that the government would keep the truth hidden.
The Dyatlov Pass incident is one of the most mind boggling mysteries to this day.
Nicholas Ovel The explanation might not involve parachute mines, this video has a really good theory on what happened:
ruclips.net/video/Y8RigxxiilI/видео.html
Nicholas Ovel No worries. That is one of the more solid explanations.
Well it’s apparently solved now
