☠︎ 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!! ☠︎
“What is your job exactly?”
“ I ignore people’s cry for help. How about you?”
👍🏻
“My job is being so inept that a young 16 year old kid will die because of it.”
My job consists of being secluded to yourself working in immense heat with very little relief but I love my job my job changes the world
you guys should be helping the people WHO CRY "HELP" DUMMYS ..............not you Jared.
@@The_Descending I didn’t mean it to be universally so. I apologize.
Kyle: "I'm dying, here's my exact locations"
Dispatcher: "imma just pretend I didn't hear that"
It's heartbreaking, listening to both 911 calls. :( In Kyle's second call, he clearly tells 911 operator where he is, the type & color vehicle he's in, and the fact that he's dying..😥 Both 911 operators failed Kyle.. RIP, Kyle and prayers to your family. May Our Lord bless them, for keeping your memory alive. I pray your family continues to advocate for improvement, within the U.S., 911 operator systems & procedures. Additionally, (imo), Honda needs to re-engineer that mini-van seat design(s), to include/provide, an accessible, emergency escape cable, located somewhere behind the rear seat(s), (imho). 🙏 🙏 🙏
@@anastacie40 probably an old model I would guess. I would assume newer models would be safer at least... It'd be dumb if they were not safer
Not saying that it being an older model is an excuse btw
i was literally listening to that like "why do so many people want kyle dead?" like wtf was that?
Yeah if that was my kid I'd end that dispatcher. no fucking excuse for that failure
Right? What a douche
As a former E/dispatcher every call is an emergency until proven otherwise. Kyle gave them everything they needed to get him help. His death was so unnecessary.
It's a fucking tragedy. Think of all the people who couldn't even call for help, but he did! The sheer incompetence of the people who's jobs are to help people and they couldn't even save him.
This is called social murder
Yes so sad 😢
... hence the apparently fully justified lawsuit.
That’s Cincinnati.
If I were Kyle's parents, I might've ended up in jail myself after hearing those 911 recordings.
stfu, ur not tough
💯
The last story is absolutely heartbreaking. That poor kid knew he was going to die and no one helped him.
So sad the miscommunication
At last somebody has mentioned that poor boy! The others are more interested in Mr Ballen 's channel 😢😢
it was so weird the last time he called, no one answered
It was absolutely pathetic on the part of not only the dispatchers but the police officers themselves! I understand that everyone makes a mistake but it wasn't just one person who made a mistake that ultimately played a part in that young man losing his life! It was several"professional" public service workers that made several mistakes that ultimately played a part in this young man dying so very tragically 🥺😞
I know that any kind of settlement that the family may get from this young man's death will not bring them any satisfaction but at the same time it's the only way that these individuals can be punished and maybe some kind of light will be shown on this type of problem and it will be resolved I pray that family gets some kind of peace brought to them😇🙏🏼
I remember seeing that on the news and being pissed at the 911 dispatcher
Kyle's story drives home the point for me. I'm an emergency dispatcher for a local utility. I often get criticized for overreacting and "wasting resources" (this was actually on my last job review) but quite frankly I don't care. If someone calls me and says "I'm in danger" "I need help" "I think I might die" --I'm going to send the big guns. Police, fire, EMS whatever...I refuse to make headline news as "the dispatcher who failed to do her job." I sleep with a clear conscience every night.
May you stay in such jobs until you're heart change directions, and your efforts are recognize and valued.
thank you peach sangria
PEACH SANGRIA --- This is something many critical caregivers encounter.
I pray you find peace within in spite of the criticism leveled at you.
I applaud your determination and devotion to do right.
Your legacy will never be forgotten by those you help, and those who will follow your example. God Bless you always.
Thank you, may others learn from you, one day your efforts will be recognized 👏👏
Respect to you!
"Gareth's death was an accident" is the most sickening English joke ever told.
Agreed. I agree with speculations that it was a cover up because why else would his death be categorized as an accident instead of undetermined or murder?
"probably" an accident 🙄
Accidentally got assassinated
yeah if it were the Russians, they would have just said "the russians got him" It was MI6
Okay thank you I was hardly seeing any comments about that one and its infuriating to think anyone could look at this absolutely horrendous crime and rule it out as an "accident" how does one accidentally stuff their body into a bag, lock it and wipe all the fingerprints off of everything? They obviously knew that the body would also decompose faster with the heat on as well.. just beyond screwed up
imagine if kyle had called his parents instead, they would have been there in minutes to save him
😢 such an injustice
I'm thinking it may have been difficult for him to speak, maybe he was giving the command 911 to Siri as it was easier for the software to recognize it. The dispatchers were idiots for not escalating the call so they could track it.
Thats exactly what I thought. I would have called a family or friend closeby. They would have been there instantly. The system has failed us
@@Kirushy007 or maybe Kyle's common sense had failed him..?
@@somerandoinoceania was that necessary? Smh
If Siri understood Kyle then the dispatcher should have been able to at least get the important words needed to rescue him
Nothin but fax
Exactly! THIS!
not necessarily, phone calls are compressed making the audio harder to understand, ofc this doesnt matter in a normal situation but when your phone is on ur pocket and then the audio is compressed it would not have been easy to understand
@@surtmcgert5087 But Siri cant understand you when you're talking directly to it? I believe you tho. It's just frustrating knowing what he went thru
@@tiffanye9776 yeah it is frustrating lol
The last story should be criminal negligence
Huh I see your comments on these videos alot
@@turtlepsycho3558 I like the channel.
Me too lol 😊
a
It really should be. But it's way too common. Dispatchers are notorious for things like the final story. They're generally the sole reason people blame police for not showing up or being "unreliable".
As a former law enforcement dispatcher, I am DISGUSTED that poor young man had to suffer and die that way!!! Whatever "dispatchers" caused his death should be convicted at the very least of manslaughter! So sorry to the family. 😪
I remember Kyle’s story on the news. It was horrifying. The people you’re supposed to be able to trust in an emergency just refusing to believe you or not caring is so devastating.
I think the words for that are "negligent homicide", imo.
*Finds body in duffel bag with padlock on the outside*
Police: “oh it was an accident”
Omg I just killed a guy and put him in a body bag and locked it with a padlock and left the key inside the bag... OOPS!!
More likely...
MI6: Police Chief, you announce it was an accident
Police: It was an accident
"Arkancide" Is LITERALLY the official description of his death...
@@GrislyAtoms12 Someone needs to check, and see if the Chief knows the Clinton's...Plot Twist: He was working on an algorithm to determine the odds of all the "suicides" of people that had any interaction with her...
And also shut the case 🤔
Everyone's a gangsta until the strange dark and mysterious is delivered in story format
LMAO
Not true.
Iam G even after.
@@sunstar2310 why are they people like you who ruin jokes
That is a good one
@@pheniox1578 because then theres no control and people like you are out there to run wild as you please.
Yin-Yang.
Balance baby
These dispatchers need to face serious consequences when they don't properly route and give all information on calls. He absolutely could have been saved and it's heartbreaking that he lost his life that way.
I live close to where that happened to Kyle. It was absolutely tragic. It broke my heart. Not only did his family do more to find him than the police but it came out that they had the coordinates and they could have found him sooner. When he told the dispatcher, “tell my mom I love her” I lost it 😢 heartbreaking
@Witty Witty yeah I’m sure he loved his dad too but come on, the poor kid was dying, you gotta cut him some slack
@Witty Witty Iidot. He could hardly get ONE word out. And everyone wants their mom when they're terrified and alone. There is only one who you want - and it's always Mom. (How do you not know this?)
@@lisahinton9682 because some people have shitty moms? damn... like if you grew up knowing its only ever about dad, and hes the only one there for you, thats who youre thinking about while you die. I absolutely dont think about my mom in an emergency. I called her once as a teen and she said "who?" and had to clarify "your daughter....". Not everyone lives the same life as you.
@@bm-ww8kb All I can say is you are VERY MUCH the exception to the rule. Your mom probably was distracted, doing multiple things to get her day's tasks done, or have dinner on the table when the family arrived home, and you called once... ONE TIME.. and she said, "Who?" and your entitled sensitive ass takes it that she didn't care about you to know your own name.
Come on, b m (aptly-named, by the way!), grow up and stop holding that ONE phone call against your mom. Grow up, call her up, apologize for being a DOUCHE BAG, and get on with life.
@@lisahinton9682 lmao. naw, mom was just trashed at a bar. i feel for her though as she has a severe substance problem. You saying this is a one off is strange as I only gave you one example. That doesnt give you the right to tell me about my relationship with my mom. Look, the truth is that not everyones moms are loving. She wanted nothing to do with me but had a legal obligation after my dad offed himself. Trust me, she wasnt rushing to make my chicken nuggies lol.
As soon as I heard that Kyle had gotten a different dispatcher on his second call, I thought the story was going to end happily.
I had no idea the second dispatcher would somehow be worse than the first one.
Poor Kyle! He was so young! That dispatcher should be guilty for his death, in my opinion.
I thought exactly the same
I thought so too, but later realized that if Kyle was saved the story would probably not make national news and would not end up on this channel. Sad story!
This was heartbreaking. How can people be so incompetent in the most dire of situations?
I knew he wouldn’t make it when I heard would have
Bruh he tried so hard. He wanted to survive. He was so close. Yet the dispatchers were stupid. So disappointed
I wonder what would happen if he would have called his dad
@@cryptonitegaming5284 Ikr he literally would've survived if he called someone from his school or his parents.
@@aryavjaiswal4033 yeah I think people from his school or his father would have know exactly which vehicle it is so he would have been saved
seriously, I was actually impressed by his clever idea of using siri to call 911. poor kid tried his hardest to get help but was failed yet again by our system. shame
@@arabelllaxo if only he called his parents he would have been potentially alive..
Poor Kyle he did everything right to help himself 😢 I’m angered by the incompetence of the dispatchers and the series of unfortunate events that led to a delay in locating him. It breaks my heart to imagine the anguish he was in😔
Well put.
This story really got to me. Normally, I can listen and I have no issues. But the gross negligence of these two dispatchers is disgusting. God bless that boy who died a horrible death. My prayers to his loved ones ❤️
The fact that MI6 didn’t check on one of their agents tells me all I need to know about what happened to him.
Exactly!
Yep!!
I know. It's like a forest ranger going missing and the rest of the forest rangers are too busy to look for him.
Mi6 get evidence on pea doh files in power so they can be easily blackmailed. My money is on the code breaker finding evidence of this so was killed off. Or hillaried for those in the states
@@allanlegg1983 pedophiles?
"probably an accident" has to be the worst explanation I've ever heard for a body being inside a locked duffel bag with no fingerprints anywhere. Seriously?
It´s a theory that the reason it was labeled an ¨accident¨ is to be a cover up for those responsible, so that nobody looks into it
Yah I accedently get myself stuck in a duffle bag
Yeah, right!
It just shows how government services can just end you and it doesn't matter how suspicious it looks, they get away with it. Everyone knows its mi6 who did it.
It’s kinda sus if u know what I mean
i highly appreciate including that story of that tiny traffic cone, kinda like a wholesome break between the other darker stories.
I could not imagine being Kyles Mom 😭 I have a 15 yr old son and this was absolutely heartbreaking ! No amount of money can bring your son back.
Or his dad, who found him. I can’t imagine
Ah yes the old “accidentally padlocked myself into a duffel bag” happens all the time 🙄
Yeah I hate when that happens 😂
Every time! It's gotten so embarrassing I've even thought of _not_ crawling into duffel bags and using my psychic powers to lock them every Friday D:>
and after factory reseting the phone and bleaching the entire flat too, just typical isn't it. lost count of the amount of times thats happened to me
ohh Hillaryous
I mean OhBammur
The fact that "trained dispatchers" couldn't easily save Kyle actual infuriates me to my core. Idiots. I hope they get sued for millions.
The word idiots is an understatement
@@codywhittenton6144 most definitely is
We need a better synonym for it! I couldn't find any suitable word. 😤
Kyle is so sad. :(
@@redheadwithafierytemper5668 Don`t want to be rude, but please next time if you gonna try to recreate something that killed someone, at least have somebody with you during that test.
Calling these dispatchers useless would be an insult to useless people.
Update on Kyle. His family reached a 6 million dollar settlement with the city and the 911 center has implemented a 5 year plan to improve its operations to help prevent this from happening again. It's devastating how resourceful that kid was and how he told them exactly how to find him and they still failed him.
I kept saying to myself during the last story, “please find him, please find him.” The absolute incompetence of those dispatchers is unbelievable. Poor kid. He did everything he could and those who are suppose to help, failed him.
I'm always hoping we know this information because the person survived. And this one was tough 😥
That one was rough to listen to, not only because he died, but also because he knew the entire time he was.suspended that he was going to die AND DESPITE THE FACT HE USED WHAT PRECIOUS AIR HE HAD LEFT IN HIS LUNGS TO CALL 9-1-1, THE INCOMPETENCE OF THE OPERATORS TRUMPED ANY DESIRE KYLE HAD TO GET OUT OF THAT MINIVAN ALIVE. That poor kid. I'd rather be shot or have a massive heart attack and be dead instantly vs. having to endure that kind of hell prior to my death. I hope his family is able to get whatever justice they are seeking.
It is Ohio, so incompetence is what you can expect from police, dispatch, 911, everyone everywhere at all times! Sheesh
I have a friend who goes to seven hills and like all the families were pissed and shit
I remember reading about this and being shocked to hear 911 failed so completely!
"Paul was allowed to keep his traffic cone", :D
Hopefully he doesn’t inhale it again :)
Good for Paul 😌
Yay :DDDDDDDDDDD
Happiest ending of any ballen story ever maybe
Swallows it again
I've dealt with some police dispatchers and also watched enough true crime stories to know that they really need to train some of these people people better! We called about on our street that was on fire and the lady asked what color the car was! I feel terrible for Kyle's family! Money won't bring him back bur I sure hope theyvget a ton of money from that city and some people lose their jobs! What a senseless death!! RIP Kyle. You are missed!
There's high turnover for 911 dispatchers. That's not an excuse for the two dispatchers in this story, but it explains the gross incompetence we hear about in these cases. Government needs to invest more money in auditing and ongoing training for their dispatchers as well as free therapy and higher pay to incentivize good 911 call dispatchers to stay, but there's always budget concerns and people willing to kick the can down the road.
I have a story similar to Kyle’s. I’m a 20+ year van lifer. Decades ago, I was replacing a few things in my van by myself in the parking lot of auto zone. I was laying on my belly trying to removed the screws of the backseat/futon. I removed three screws just fine but one was rusty. After tugging on it with all my little strength, it finally unscrewed popped out. The whole seat fell on top of me. So I’m trapped underneath the seat on my belly screaming and crying for help. Everyone at auto zone were busy. I was parked on the side trying to stay out of the way until it was my turn. Some Walmart workers walked by going to ihop for lunch and found me. Thank goodness for them. I don’t make major changes to my van by myself anymore.
As if Kyle’s story isn’t infuriating enough, it turns out that the police & dispatch had Kyle’s exact coordinates before even arriving to the parking lot. They just decided not to use them for some reason. According to the police department itself, the coordinates were so precise that his van was less than 5 FEET AWAY from the pin on the map, telling them exactly where he was.
Wow… I truly have no words. I hope his family is able to gain some sort of peace and justice
Oh my word!
And obviously nobody will be accountable for that because when the police are at fault, it's never theirs fault.
@@xminusone1 because it wasnt the polices fault, it was the dispatchers fault
I have a friend that would probably do this if he was a dispatcher, has to have everything spelled to him in black and white, like everything needs exact clarifications, so annoying and disgusting sometimes when you just want to have a quick conversation. People like that shouldn't be in jobs like that when a simple hesitation could spell life or death. If the guy is slow, then let it be known, have everything spelled out for you is like making your brain slow down to a crawl
That dispatcher was useless. If you hear someone say they think they’re gonna die, why on earth would you not say he was in distress 😳
I hope they win their lawsuit. That's ridiculous. Both dispatchers should be fired.
Not just that, i just searched for the recording and the second dispatcher didn’t even say anything. First one is dumb for putting low priority, but second one is manslaughter cause they saw the number called earlier and didn’t bother saying anything. Even a “I’m a retard 911 dispatcher, how may I help you?” Would be better.
@@hikari1690 exactly!
American police be like
Better yet, why weren't more people privy to hearing the 911 call. I'm sure if other police/dispatchers heard it they could have figured it out. I've heard a lot of horror stories about incompetent dispatchers.
I love these episodes that start off with something more light-hearted. It truly brightens my day, and it's honestly probably more healthy to hear something positive every once and a while anyway haha. Keep up the story telling, my guy; it's a blessing to hear whether you're doing something creepy, incredulous, or just plain funny!
Oh...Kyle's story just broke my heart but also made me angry that 911 dispatchers don't take their work seriously. It resulted in a senseless death of a young boy. I hope the parents win the case.
They did. And they got $6 million from it
I'm also furious that the dispatchers did nothing to help him
Kyle’s story is so unbelievably sad…. I don’t know how those two dispatchers can live with themselves.
Those two dispatchers should be charged with murder. Because this can't even be considered negligence.
@@dasik84 As a father myself, I can tell you that they wouldn't be charged with murder, but instead, I would be charged for double homicide.
Imagine collecting your paycheck when you couldn't relay simple info and police leave this boy. These dispatchers probably just make excuses for themselves to justify.
Probably they are encouraged to act that way by supervisors but trained to not do so just to cover the city's butt. It's likely a reality versus daily practice thing. Unfortunately
Let’s hope those dispatchers took their own lives because that’s what they deserve
“Kyle Plush: $6million settlement for family of Ohio teen who was crushed to death in 2018
Historic settlement awarded by city of Cincinnati after police failed to find teen, who was being crushed to death in the back of a minivan and twice called 911
The family of a Ohio teenager who was crushed to death by the seat of a minivan after emergency responders failed to find him in time has been awarded a $6million settlement.
As part of the settlement, the city has pledged to improve its 911 call centre, including spending $250,000 hiring experts to evaluate changes over five-years, and publishing six monthly reports available to the public.”
His family won the case but still lost their son, so I’m glad they won the case, but still angry and heartbroken that this even happened. Rest easy, Kyle
Shouldn’t we be asking questions about the safety of these minivan seats also? I mean, this is still a danger to anyone who owns one.
$250k for "experts"? Sounds like corruption to me.
I was thinking they could have sued honda as well just for the fact that the van had no inner latch to open the trunk. Every vehicle legally needs to have one i believe in case someone ends up locked in a trunk.
I'm glad to hear his family won the settlement, not that it will change what happened. I just really wanna know what happened to the dispachers because they should both be held criminally liable.
Dispatchers should face criminal charges.
I’ve heard Kyle’s 911 call. The dispatcher infuriated me. Poor Kyle 😞
This case is just heartbreaking. I'm really glad that the families won the case and that it wasn't ruled as an "accident" or whatever else the police might have come up with. R.I.P. Kyle and may his family find peace
Update on Kyle Plush. His family settled with the city for $6 million. Part of it goes to improvements to the 911 call center and part of it goes his foundation. I'm so sorry his family had to go through this. The silver lining on this dark cloud is that it's bringing about change to the emergency services of Cincinnati.
Ty for update
Very sad
Next they should sue the makers of that death trap they call a minivan.
I hope that change includes firing said dispatchers. Thanks for update
What happened to the dispatchers?
And the award for the most frustrating story of the year goes to...............The kid who called 911 multiple times as he was literally being crushed to death only for the dispatcher to ignore his cries for help.
Are you stupid? "ignore his cries for help is completely inaccurate"
Multiple operators failed him too,
not just one.
@Blaine Fiasco seems pretty accurate to me.
@@jmklind Don't be stupid. They didn't ignore him they couldn't hear him dipshit
@@blainefiasco8225 same thing basically, they didn't help him
The fact that BOTH of those dispatchers were so incompetent is border line criminally negligent in my mind. That was so effing smart of him to use Suri tho I do kind of wonder why he didn't try to call anyone else. His parents, a friend...the school literally anyone...because you're not supposed to have to call anyone else in any emergent situation other than emergency services. 🤦♀️ That's such a senseless way to die and he was so young. My heart breaks for his parents. I can't believe this poor dad had to find him. Those dispatchers didn't kill him directly but they sure AF didn't do a thing to save him either which is the very antithesis of their job SMF1H and they have to live with that for the rest of their lives. I am so livid for his family. RiP Kyle
I called 911 one time using the voice command. It made me exit emergency mode by touching the screen. Without doing that I couldn't call anyone else.
In a emergency situation, majority of people won't be thinking straight and it's hammered into our heads to call 911, so that's probably what was going on. He couldn't think rationally to call anyone else.
Huh, you know, I just had a horrible thought: since 911 dispatchers hardly ever get punished, I'm sure there is actually an underground community of 911 dispatch "serial killers" that purposely do a crappy job on calls they know are serious, just for the sick thrill of knowing they contributed in someone's death, and that nobody will probably catch onto their scheme😳
I didn’t know you did a story on the kid that crushed himself in the car… I remember when this happened! I could not get over it was so sad
Is there any update about this horrible case?
@@palatina6626 what update would there be? He passed away from it.
@@nicoleyoung3927 Update about the case I think he means.
@@hobbitpsi was there a case?
@@nicoleyoung3927 Were you not paying attention to the story? the parents sued the city over this. Yes there was a case.
The dispatcher should have been charged with manslaughter in the final story.
2nd degree right?
both of them
Both of them, if there were two separate ones.
That was intentional the dispatch chose not to relay the info making it 2nd degree murder
Not sure about the second dispatcher, but it kinda seems like there wasn't much the first one could do. If they can't hear anything he was saying, they would have no way of relaying the information or knowing the severity of the situation.
Stories like Kyle's should be a part of all of the 911 dispatcher training. That just broke my heart.
I'm a dispatcher. His sad story is part of training. I believe his parents are also going around doing lectures on the importance of us sending the right help to where it is precisely needed. I think about him all the time.
@@striven82 that story pierced my heart like no other has ever done for some reason…probably because the dispatchers seemed to not care…at all…😭
@@LilyAmongThorns so heartbreaking💔 that poor young man😢
This was one of the most preventable deaths of all time. All the two dispatchers had to do was pay attention, care, and not be lazy. The parents would much rather have their son, but I hope the city and those workers are taken for a mint.
Not only should the city be sued to the point of bankruptcy, the two 911 dispatchers should be in jail for at minimum manslaughter. The lack of urgency and recognition of how dire this situation was by those two 911 operators makes my blood boil.
The story about Kyle is devastating. The negligence is horrific.
Yeah, he should have opened his trunk instead of leaning over the back of the seat.
I feel a lawsuit may be in order; idk.
Why wouldn’t he call one of his friends at school? 😂 dummy

That last one was so sad. That poor sweet kid. His dying wish was for someone to tell his mom that he loved her. What the heck. Poor baby :(
Right!? 💗💗💗😭
Paul's story makes my wonder if the tooth I lost and swallowed when I was 6 is actually in my lung. Hope that doesn't come back to bite me later.
My grandmother was a 911 dispatcher and she had some stories of people that were fired and people that should have been fired. Kyle is not the only one who has been injured or died due to dispatcher negligence.
My aunt, who was a dispatcher for many years, heard Kyle's 911 call after the fact. She said there was no reason for those dispatchers to not have made that a high priority call. It was easy to hear that the kid was in trouble and with just a bit of patience they could have figured out where and how to help him. She said it was absolutely their fault he died.
@Nikki Lauren what??
@@tojisbitch8909 She got one word wrong, but you can gather exactly what she meant. “If you’re Aunt is good (a good person) she knows the absolute difference between a prank and a distress call. 🙄
@@danileighdeardorff3799 Ik, I just never saw how what you said was necessary pertaining to what the guy said.

That pisses me off that the 911 operator didn’t do more to help him. His parents should sue the shit out of them
They are suing.
Did you not listen to the end of the story where he says "Kyle's family is in the middle of wrongful death lawsuit"?
@@ryantoper79 Thank God! 911 operators are pure scum😂
What's crazy... is that calling his parents may have been a better option than calling the cops.
A parent slwouldve been scared shitless that their child is calling them in distress AND might know where to look for him
@@TheyCantC it’s really shitty that the 911 dispatcher didn’t forward the information to any patrol vehicles in the area they should be held accountable.
I couldn't breathe for the whole of Kyle's story. The story telling is phenomenal
Kyle's story broke my heart. Poor little guy! God bless him!
Those dispatchers should be fired and tried for negligence.
100%
Absolutely!!! FACTS!!! 💯💯💯🚓🚔🗡⚰💩💩💩💩☠☠☠💀💀💀🤮🤮🤮🤮
at very least
The second dispatcher was given administrative leave. I really hope it does end in her being fired
I thought they automatically trace the number and location if there's a suspicious call. I reported a fire once with good directions and she said she can't send anyone without a addresse 😂
That last story really pissed me off to be honest. I kind of wish Kyle had just managed to use Siri to call his Dad or something and not bother with 911 at all, 'cos fat lot of good it did him calling "Emergency Services"
Valid point. Sadly. 😔
I wondered why he didn't call home too.
@@janb.9046 he might not have had the ability to call home with how fast he had lost breath and maybe he didnt know his home phone number or something
@@skylerexe8028 but you can go "hey siri, call dad/mom"
@@Masked_muscle_mommy we dont know what kind of phone he had and what if he didnt have there names as that?
I love this series. I have been binge-watching these videos and I love how "new" the stories are; ones I haven't heard from other channels! I love how interesting, freaky, and weird they are! Thanks for always delivering amazing content.
For anyone wondering, Kyle’s family reached a $6million settlement in 08/2021 w/ the city and they have pledged improvements such as making changes to issues brought up by experts, having outside experts review internal investigations, increasing personnel and staffing, updating training, and adding a way for more information to be inputted into the system.
They should have got $60 million.
Cheapskate city.
Idk seems like the city could just simply put an effort into hiring the proper people that are responsible for SAVING THEIR CITIZENS. No amount of equipment and training can reverse stupidity.
@@jackrosado746 agreed. But we all know how government officials are, so something is better than nothing.
@@BrookeWinter82 I've been in a situation where you receive money and improvements. Take it from me, you're much more interested in the improvements than the money. It was not anything like this btw.

we know a 911 operator and that's actually what he does usually between calls...or Among Us.
I hope the 911 operator was fired. I just heard the audio from the call and honestly, it is clear that he's in trouble, he's dying. He might have lived had that crucial information been passed on
@@pawtcha I’m not sure about fired, both call handlers should be in jail.
@@tipoftheicebergicy6448 I agree
The Kyle story is one of the saddest I’ve heard on here!! Poor kid, let down badly by the people tasked with helping people. I hate pointing fingers, but this one is pretty hard not to!
The first one was much better than the last 2 but equally well narrated, as per usual. I’m so sad for Kyle’s family-so senseless and awful how he didn’t receive the help he needed!!
I was literally holding my breath for Kyle to be rescued. We need higher standards for 911 dispatchers because this isn’t the first time incompetence cost someone his/her life.
There are instanses were the dispatcher says
"You know what ma'am don't disrespect me. You can deal with this yourself" and hangs up!!!! Her friend was dieing and she was stressed, but the dispatcher just left the friend to die.
Absolutely agree 100 percent. I think everyone should learn how to call for emergency in different scenarios and this is one challenging scenario. If you are bound and cant hear the phone but are able to call... we should learn different techniques to communicate or make a perfect distress call that will enable rescue to find, locate and rescue you. I believe there should be a class in high school where we learn to make proper calls to 911 in different situations. There's even ways to text 911 if you are not able to speak. Technology has evolved but many of us, myself included still need to learn to use it. I feel so disheartened for Kyle.
@Ian Leinweber No, there is no "secret codes", as a 911 dispatcher of close to 20 years who has worked in 2 different states (NY & FL) and holds several advanced training certs I can tell you that is a falsehood spread by social media and popular culture
@@devinedeeem6705 There definitely should be more community education related to 911 use, one of the big problems is the widely varied abilities of different agencies based on hardware, software and training of staff. Text to 911 is a great resource but has very limited availability, meaning depending on where you are, if you text 911, there may be nobody on the other end receiving that message. Locating callers are another issue, many people assume we know where they are, but it honestly depends on lots of things (make/model of phone, phone service provider, physical barriers like buildings and mountains, weather, etc). Stories like this really highlight the need for standardization of systems and trainings available for 911 psaps
@@robertleclair4739 I just wanted to thank you for your service. I appreciate it, sincerely.
Ah yes. I accidentally lock myself inside a duffle bag in the bathtub all the time
Me too! 👍
and then accidentally factory reset your phone, and accidentally wipe down all the prints! how clumsy
Oh yeah. It's my favorite past time.
God I hate when that happends
Facts 😂
That poor guy summoning all of his strength, making the first call, then the second call thinking that certainly they would figure out where he was calling from, but them never showing up? The incompetence is mind blowing.
I’ve recently discovered these videos and couldn’t help but binge them; and I thought about taking a break bc of how the collection of these stories made me feel- the reality does hold weight on the mind and heart and it’s credit partially to your ability to tell these people’s stories and most of the time, unfortunately their deaths- but this last one is legitimately made me break out in tears - I mean god damn! He did everything creative or right
It’s gotta get to you sometimes researching these stories and creating these vids. And mostly now I was continued watching them so maybe I can learn from them- bc Jesus it really doesn’t seem, like we see these things coming. I hope to God these families find peace and that we all as best as possible, remain safe. I would say something like this it closest to the strange dark and mysterious I hope anyone of us is fated to but these people are more than a story. That is the most unsettling, that it doesn’t disappear or end once the vid ends.
How could Siri understand him and not the police 🤦♀️ Siri mixes up anything you say even if it’s clear
🤦🤦🤦
@@racheldianeames3729 What does that mean?
@@steveescher1554 that is the facepalm emoji.
Which is used to show disbelief, shame, or exasperation.
not in any way defending the dispatchers, but all siri had to understand was "hey siri", not a location and description of the emergency. not forwarding any of the most useful information to the patrol units should rightfully hang on their conscience though
@@alexallen1554 “hey Siri call 911” is what would’ve been said and Siri has trouble hearing me say “hey Siri call mum” so those dispatch callers are completely in the wrong and should be punished for not being able to do their job
"Paul was allowed to keep his traffic cone"
*Everyone liked that*
The same thing happened to my baby sister
40 years later Paul came back.
Cuz he inhaled it again.

Good for him
That was seriously the tiniest cone I’ve ever seen! lol! 😆😆😆 what a wild story
I can relate to the last story. While working at a bar a guest who was extremely intoxicated and much larger than me was threatening me. I asked him to leave but refused and threatened to physically harm me. I had managed to contact non-emerrgency and told them I needed help immediately. The dispatcher asked me a million questions causing more anxiety. Buy then the guest assaulted others and sexually harassed one of the female servers. All the while they could have just sent someone
The “Minivan” story was just heartbreaking. So many times he could’ve been saved 😢
u should listen to the 911 calls. The dispatchers doomed the kid.
@@MegaLqlq I swear it seems like 90% of 911 operators are always on the verge of falling asleep meanwhile their listening to the screams of the damned and telling them "it's not that bad" or something similar.
@MaskedSuper EvilHero he did 😐 it was when no one responded that he said that did you not watch the vid. Also you try to stay calm in a situation where so much as moving wrong and your gone.
@@MegaLqlq 😭
@MaskedSuper EvilHero keyword “accident”. He called for help and did as much as he could do in the situation he was in. I would love to see you in that situation. Remain calm while trying to breath and explain your situation while a 100lb chair is lodge against your chest.
The 2 dispatchers should be held personally liable & their pensions should be going to the poor kids Mom that never got the message from her dying son.
@@Catherine-wt3st agreed! Who are they to dismiss a call & not give all the details because they're f'n lazy!?!
even if you call and hang up they're supposed to track the call and send someone in case it's some kind of kidnapping or something else. This is gross negligence and murder.
My thoughts exactly. Take every thing.
I'm still seething over this. How could you not know the difference between someone messing around and someone in distress. Unreal.
I don't entirely disagree. But a ruling like that would cause that no-one would ever want to do the job of dispatcher anymore.
Pauls story is so incredibly sad but beautiful... I hope he could recover..
I remember the traffic cone one from a news article... And the red duffelbag story from a news article... I apparently read a lot of news articles because I seem to be familiar with a lot of these stories. I just love the way you tell them.
The reason the first emergency dispatcher didn't mark it as an emergency and the reason the second emergency dispatcher did not convey the information to the police in the area is pretty much the same reason - apathy. They don't really care. In recent years, there have been cases where emergency dispatchers would hang up or say they don't care or tell the person in severe distress to calm down, and many of these times this behavior would lead to the people who called in to die. One dispatcher who was dismissed after her boorish behavior to a deceased victim sued for wrongful dismissal, won, and went right back to the same job in a different district. *smh*
“Probably an accident” yeah damn I hate when I accidentally put myself into a duffle bag and padlock it with the key left on the inside 😂
Damn I thought I was the only one with that problem
This happens to me all the time so I can’t believe anyone would think it was anything other than an accident! I mean, who doesn’t randomly find themselves in a duffel bag in a bathtub 🤣
This is just like the time I locked my keys outside of my house...
Sounds like a Wednesday night!
@@Sam_the_Sham_and_the_Pharoahs Yep, exactly like that
That moment when calling mom in an emergency would have been better than calling 911...
that's what I was thinking... I would have called my parents as well.
But maybe he was panicking and didn't think of it. Either way, it's a terrible tragedy :(
@@captainkylie2458 well, they always says to call 911 that they will send help, so it's expected that they hire competent people, not fucking morons that can't hear a fucking cannon firing right next to them
I thought the same thing. But what if he did try calling his parents and they were busy. That's not something that would make this a good story so it might have been left out.
@@edwhite7078 yeah, that's a good point. Very unlucky either way :/
Exactly. Call your mom. So sad!
So many stories we hear have tragic endings that I was very happy to hear the story of the man who swallowed the traffic cone and after doctors removed it, he got better and suffered no adverse effects from having swallowed it in the first place. I know this is an old story but somehow I either missed it when it first came out or I had totally forgotten it but thanks for telling this particular story because I just needed to hear a little good news today. In fact, having seen the comments about the next story in this video, I think I will just skip to something else and leave with memories of that good story in my mind. I'll check out the other stories when I am in a little better frame of mind.
Your crazy humor and ability to make these stories so vivid makes me return daily. Thank you. I do prefer watching you during the stories as opposed to the podcasts but only because you're purty. ...lol...kidding ......your facial expressions adds a lot to the stories... a lot. Thanks again.
The last story was very difficult to listen to. I can’t imagine what that young man went through.
Very difficult.
I could feel myself becoming more and more uncomfortable thinking, "this is awful...please, please someone find this kid".
Heartbreaking.
You have my last name!
Literally started to choke up because I thought what if that was me or one of my family members.
Now I’m scared it 11:23 pm
Kyle’s death is absolutely heartbreaking. The situation he got into was so unlucky, and the dispatchers made such huge mistakes, it cost him his life even though he tried so hard. I can only imagine the panic he went through, leaves me with a heavy feeling.
Me too. So unfortunate...
The first story is probably the most wholesome one on this channel
I was eating Doritos when you said small orange triangle. Guess what I thought the small orange triangle was?? 🤣🤣
“Garreth just wanted to do his job and be left alone” SAME, why do people have a problem with that?? lol
for some reason people think there's something terribly wrong with you if you don't wanna socialize
The fact that he was an actual Spy and the agency didn’t report anything at all concerning his non showing up for work? Yeah, sure it was an accident. If that’s how it officially ended it was due to what that agency may do to those who point out their involvement.
I felt that personally too. So relatable!
I hate that so bad. I just wanna work and live my own life after but everybody keeps thinking you need to talk and laugh to stupid jokes and socialize and so on. I even lost jobs because of that. For being quite. I hate humans.
@@jackdurden466 Gotta let that body decompose abit before revealing their magic trick
Kyle’s story made me so sad, just the “Hey Siri, Hey Siri until it went silent” but the operator was actually listening and knew he needed help and did nothing. He kept asking for help until the end. Condolences to his family.
yeah, that's extra messed up if you think about it. 1st attempt using siri to call didn't work. So he tried again, and got a 2nd operator. Good call. But it also didn't work. But he couldn't try again, couldn't make a 3rd attempt. Because he was still on the phone w/2nd operator, who heard him trying to activate siri again. At least the 1st operator, as much as they failed, ended the call, giving him another chance to call someone else and maybe get a better result. But the 2nd operator, by staying on the line w/him and doing nothing, the 2nd operator kept him from making a 3rd attempt, like maybe calling his dad instead of emergency services or what have you. If i understand the specifics correctly, that's what it seems like. Haven't actually heard the call, just this description in this vid. But if I interpret it right, the 2nd operator was a double whammy not just for misresponding to the seriousness of the matter, but also for keeping his line busy robbing him of a chance at a 3rd try to get across his imminent need to someone.
@@SmegInThePants Actually, he did the right thing calling 9-1-1. Remember, he could not hear his phone so he would not have known if they answered. 9-1-1 is supposed to stay on the phone until it is resolved - as in help dispatched.
Operators are given a list of things to ask in specific order and they follow it like it was the word of Allah, they are nonflexible and that causes problems. Ive had fighters without ability to adjust their approach fast, do you know what i call them? Either lucky or corpses. When lives are on the line, you become flexible and change things that dont work immediately! Those who cannot do that are just in the way of others and cause deaths.
Those two dispatchers should be charged with murder. Because this can't even be considered negligence.
I love these! Stumbled on them one day and weeks later I'm still watching.
That last story about the kid in the minivan. I hope the family wins. I'm a med professional. I have basic understanding of what 911 callers and paramedics deal with.
That operator is negligent. Both of em.
So sad.
This is so sad as a mother of two I swear I can't imagine and hopefully never will have to go through 😢 the pain I see in the eyes of this mother God bless her and her husband & family 🙏 going up for them
BOTH of those dispatchers from the 3rd story deserve to be found criminally negligent. That shit was truly heartbreaking.

Omg. Useless dispatchers. That is so sad 🥺 I'm a parent and i just cant imagine finding your child like that and having to hear those 911 calls of him pleading for help. My thoughts are with Kyle's family. As an avid true crime fan, I've listened and watched hundreds if not thousands of 911 calls and body cam vids, and it makes me crazy when i can clearly hear what the caller is saying and the dispatcher is like "huh? What? I cant understand you." I get that its a high pressure job and can be very stressful when you're speaking to a very disrressed and animated person, but thats why it's not for everyone. You gotta be alert and focused at all times. Kyle shouldn't have died that day.
“Paul was allowed to keep his traffic cone”
😂😂😂 I don’t know why that killed me.
I died with that one!
😆😆😆
That part had me cryin 🤣💀😭
I remember Kyles case. They did him wrong and he didn't get justice for it. Dispatch didn't do their job correctly and got away with it. A life was lost for no reason. May he rest in peace.
Unfortunately there is a U.S. Supreme court decision that makes suing any police agency a no go look up cracked why the police won't help you
If you're being stabbed to death
But this death was both sad and a terrible tragedy that must be learned from or else Kyle died in vain
Guy, I'm so grateful for competent police & emergency workers. Just as I am disgusted by the incompetent ones.
This is one of my favourite "sound fake but are 100% true" videos
Mr Ballen is an absolute legend 🖤
I don't care what the dispatcher thought was happening, if they could hear banging and yelling you find that cell phones location and send someone there even if it could be a prank. That second dispatcher was absolutely covering for the first one. I didn't even know this boy and my blood is absolutely boiling. That poor boy must have been so scared.
@@minimm2013right! If it turns our to be a prank arrest them once you figure it out, but it's better to have a cop show up and find out it's a prank than it is for a cop to not go and let someone die.
After hearing Kyle's story I seriously hope that both dispatchers (especially the second one) got immediately terminated from their job and were given hell for negligence.
That’s not enough…
Same! What pos
After a short dive into recent news about it, as of 2018 they were given a week probation then brought back to work. Their personnel reports are nothing but glowing reviews. Oh, and the department received nearly half a million dollar budget boost to 'hopefully prevent' incidents like this. No justice whatsoever, but that's to be expected at this point.
@@dillpicklefig That makes me absolutely angry

I hope Kyle’s family gets everything the sue for. That story was incredibly infuriating and heartbreaking all at once, I couldn’t imagine listening to those calls as a parent 🥺
