☠︎ 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!! ☠︎
22:42 thumbs up in your chest!
?
I see it
Good eye Lottie! 👍🏼
Omg everytime , lol I can't see it
Holy crap!! That’s bloody good eyesight!!!
I’m not saying that Pippin murdered his wife. But Pippin murdered his wife.
He definitely murdered his wife. Like the guy who packed and checked his wife's parachute that was rigged to fail
Yeah that dude 100% killed his wife
he couldnt let her beat his world record
@@Arandombott pro gamer move
If he didn't kill his wife then I'm lady gaga.
Note to self: Never allow the husband to be the only inspector of life-saving equipment.
The Spouse
Or the wife. Let me know when they invent a trigger a woman can’t pull.
Or allow them to attempt resuscitation under water.
That happens all the time. Family & lovers always think their eyes and ears are better when dealing with their loved ones.
Yeah he killed her
Second story:
1. The husband was regularly criticized in the no-limits free diving community for being reckless, and had already the blood of two former staff members on his hands
2. The husband was responsible for all the safety in this particular dive
3. The husband was rushing this particular record attempt by not having enough stand-by divers and medical personal on-site and on-shore
4. The husband didn't want any other people inspecting the ascending balloon, when normal procedure would have at least two other people inspecting this absolutely crucial piece of equipment
5. The husband kept her under water for a couple additional minutes trying to resuscitate her... under water
6. The record holder at that point was the husband
Yeah, I really wonder what happened...
Murder
I read a Reddit post where it said that the medical personnel on standby was a dentist. Was it true?
Ding ding ding
He'd have to be stupid to do that. Really stupid. I think he was probably egotistical and thought he could do anything and everything free-dive related. He couldn't. But I can understand why he'd think that. I don't think anyone gets to be the world record-holder of such a ridiculously dangerous 'sport' as free-diving without having supreme self-confidence.
No, I blame the stand-by diver. The excuse that getting air from him would kill her on the ascent due to expansion ignores the fact that one of the first rules they teach you in scuba diving is to constantly let out a steady trickle of air at all times, but especially during ascent. This is precisely to avoid the dangers of expansion. I'm only a rookie scuba-diver and I'm well aware of that. If the instructors saw you not letting out that trickle of bubbles during any of the underwater exercises they'd immediately call you on it, even the exercises as basic as clearing your mask of water.
She may have been free-diving but I'm sure she was an experienced scuba diver too, so she would've known the procedure. And even if she didn't, the stand-by diver would've known. He could've just controlled the pace of their ascent if he couldn't make her understand what she needed to do. But it's so easy to communicate that. You just point to your mouth and let out a trickle of bubbles, then point to them. Couldn't be easier.
And blame has to also go to her, for continuing with the dive even after the 30 sec delay. That would be a stupidly long delay in a free dive. There are a lot of people who couldn't hold their breath even that long. She should've aborted. There would've been much broader margins for recovery at that point, at the very least.
It's an unfortunate story but I don't think you can pin it all on him. She knew the risks. It's a stupid sport period. Very high risks, minimal gains other than fame. And if you want to risk your only life for fame you kinda deserve to lose it. Sorry, not sorry.
the only thing I can add is that the wife knew all this and went anyway
nevertheless, he should have faced consequences
I have to object that Audrey was "feeling confident" about the dive. From what I understand, she was pressured by her husband to do this dive, and if you've seen the video footage of her final dive, you can see how totally zoned out and empty she looks. People have speculated that she was in an abusive relationship, and I think that rings true. R.I.P. Audrey Mestre
Thank you! I wish this detail was covered! I’ve seen a whole hour long documentary on it & seen the footage & you’re exactly right- she did not seem like she was wanting to do that. I’m guessing he forced her to do a lot of things she didn’t want to.
What a prick. Can’t believe he didn’t get charged. When I bump into him in hell he’s in for some payback.
100% a victim of abuse. I don't even need to see a picture to no know. Bu the 'zoned out' look really is the cherry on top for confirmation.
@@QrtuopThe book “The Last Attempt” by Carlos Serra details how Audrey had marks and bruises she reported were from Pippin and that she was in the process of leaving him. There’s a good amount of evidence that he was abusive and pretty short-tempered.
Peenuses dangling down like a rain forest. Hundreds of dangling peenuses. Monkey runs and jumps off a cliff qand grabs a peenus! The monkey swings and jumps from peenus to peenus and goes across the whole forest off flaccid peenuses

Who else found this guy one day and started to watch him ever since
Me
i love Mr. Ballen's channel!!
I went back and watched everything he ever posted too
Binged watched his channels
That's me. He's kept me going through lockdown number 3 in the UK
As soon as he starts a story with the word “diver”, RIP to that person
😂Yep!👍
Yeah I only remember 2 with survivors, the diving group that lost 2 to the depths and that deep sea one where the cable snapped...
The deep sea is no place for humanity.
Well the story were the captain save 18 of 30 people there was 32 people I believe.
@@Raccon_Detective.
Amen... 🦖 🐙 🔱 🦑 👍🏻
I love how you describe the lives of these people who have passed. You’re so respectful and sympathetic. Really keeps them alive.
If you truly mean that, you outta check out, "Humans."
Grace focuses on the victims & their life.
She's pretty new & it's basically the other side of the story that these true crime channels focus on.
Mr.Ballen is a hack. If you want a good story, he's great at that & twisting the facts around. If you want a true to the facts story, not so much.
@@_MjG_ I noticed how some stories are missing parts. They are not as truthful as they could be. It’s too bad. I completely trusted him at first. Now I fact check or I’ve heard a story from another channel. Maybe it’s the people working for him to blame but he is ultimately responsible. I didn’t listen for the last couple years but it’s at the very least entertaining. I don’t believe in the supernatural junk though.
@@-youtalkingtome Yes, Mr.Ballen is great at telling stories. Unfortunately he has his own narrative, doesn't stick to the facts on some of the stories. I was only addressing the real life stories as well, not the very likely 100% fictional supernatural & mythical creature stories he has told.
I've researched over a dozen Mr.Ballen stories after I first noticed a huge obvioua error to myself in one of his stories. That made me realize how some of his stories have around half a dozen or so key errors in them, but to his credit about half his reality based stories are reasonably close to what actually happened.
I just think that some of Mr.Ballen's stories are sensationalized to make them sound more entertaining at the expense of not sticking to the facts.
@@_MjG_The fact that you dedicate your time to sabotage mrballen instead of just having fun and watching his content, says more about you than mrballen. You aren't a detective because you waste hours of time, fact-checking a channel made for entertainment

Right?
☠
😂 I thought the same thing
Underrated comment
The husband in the #2 story literally killed his wife.
He didn't follow protocol with her safety equipment
He didn't have the required staff on board during the dive
He kept her under water for TWO MINUTES extra
All the factors that caused her death has HIS fault
(Some lovley people comments have have mentioned some things I did not think of. I'd reccomend you check it out)
I also don't understand why the diver next to her didn't give her an extra breathing apparatus. He didn't have one or what. Because what he said about air killing is bs in my opinion. I'm not a diver so correct me if I'm wrong but using common sense couldn't she just ascended slowly so the expanding air in her lungs was under control?
@@Michael2137. it could take a lot of time to ascend, too much time.
The only factor that wasnt his fault is that she willingly took on a risky challenge like this, she either supported her husbands risky methods or hated it and didnt do much to prepare
should've called it off for weather. wait for stabler conditions. professionals do it all the time
@@Michael2137. you do know MrBallen was a Navy Seal right? I’m pretty sure he knows what he’s talking about when it comes to this kind of stuff bud.
I was a plastics nurse a few years ago. Do you know how many people we had with mangled hands, digits amputated etc from machinery accidents. It's scary how often accidents happen
I used to work as a paramedic in a service area that had a lot of manufacturing plants in it. We were always going there for injuries. Most of which where caused by poor training or simple negligence.
Plastics nurse?
@@timtags plastic surgery nurse
The third story really resonated with me. I have first hand experience with robots like were described, including being stuck by them on 2 different occasions. Once was my own fault, but on both occasions the place I was working had no rules about lock out/ tag out and absolutely should have. I should have known better, but at the time I was barely 18 and had NOT been trained at all. Many times, I was also expected to just figure out maintenance issues myself, despite absolutely no training.
No company's bottom line is worth risking your own life. I hope even one person reads this and it helps them keep from making such a fatal error, just please always be more careful than is asked of you. It could mean the difference between life and death if you aren't careful
Even if Audrey's husband didn't murder her on purpose, he still contributed to her death through negligence at the very least. Why he never was held accountable for that negligence is beyond me.
That wat I was thinking 😂😂
Was thinking the same thing cassi
What the HELL kind of "safety diver" is there that doesn't even know how to "buddy breathe"????
If I'm a safety, diver, and it's already time to "screw the record, save her life", you can bet YOUR ASS I'm yanking ol' girl off that rig and swimming up to control her ascent WITH ME, and we'll just trade the regulator back and forth along the way... ANYBODY who suggests ANYTHING different is getting reported for plotting to murder whatever diver is on that rig...
AND if there's straps involved, I'll have a bladed instrument that'll take care of them...
I think they BOTH need charged. The "buddy breathing" (swap regulator back and forth) procedure has been around since Cousteau. There's no excuse. I'm not sure when they established multiple reg's on "the octopus" BUT I do know that's the standard for rescue classes today.
I'm sorry, and it's CERTAINLY NOT on Mr. Ballen here. That story totally pissed me off! ;o)
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 Right no as you should be! I know small things can pile up into a disaster when diving, especially in an extreme form like this, but many of the factors in this case are far from small. Calling it criminal negligence might be understating it. Audrey's death was preventable period, and it's beyond frustrating that she ended up facing this injustice and lack of care.
@@cassini4052 Well, from binging Dive Talk most recently, but even long before I ran across them, it's long been a saying that "No single issue has ever killed a diver."
I'm not certified, so just that "Discover Scuba" stuff, and sinus issues are kind of a b*tch, BUT I've been around, and there are plenty of perfectly healthy divers among cavers and motorcycles... both activities I enjoy relatively regular if not frequently...
On a bike, any single issue can turn deadly almost instantly... It's why we wear gear and work constantly to increase our collections of GOOD gear over whatever we could scratch together when we got our first bike(s)... haha...
But all the longest career holders in scuba are very Zen about stuff. They believe in "think your way through" and they always have contingencies, improvisations, and believe in the proper equipment... AND whenever I've been around SAR swimmers or Safety Divers, those guys are PRICKS about doing their jobs. They're not brazen anti-social types, but don't get in their way. A single person at risk to one of them is like the balance of the entire world on their shoulders.
I just don't get a safety diver sitting there watching her like that. There may well be a situation where even as a safety diver I'd have to accept that there's nothing I could do, but that sure as hell wasn't it. Nobody's going to tell them they can't save someone right in front of them... That's just not in the culture... extreme sports or world records be damned... AND damn whatever "the boss" says about it.
SO maybe if that rig had rocketed up to the surface, she'd have been put at risk over a single gulp... OR if she'd tried to close her throat to hold her breath on the way up... BUT not buddy breathing. AND Cousteau originally established that you had to be able to take a tank of air down to around 100 feet, hang the rig on the rope, and leave it, for your ascent to be certified for open water... SO it's not like you can't physically go up on a single breath from compressed air at depth if necessary. You just need to know to get rid of the air as fast or even a little faster than it expands as the pressure comes off. It's easiest on you to do so with a controlled ascent, at about 30 feet per minute (recommended) and you just about can't screw it up... BUT lots of people panic all the time, and "bolt for the surface" at double or more that speed without consequences other than getting bitched at when they're back on the dive boat...
In any case, we're at risk of navel-gazing at this point. I just couldn't help how her story really pissed me off. That has murder-plot written all over it and an idiot could figure it out. ;o)
I can never spot the hidden secrets. Mr.Ballen's eye contact is so engaging it feels rude to not give him my undivided attention.
He definitely grows on you. I cast him to my TV for the first time the other day and I was mesmerized by the color of his eyes. He's intense!
I would just usually just set him down and listen.
I’m not even sure there is a hidden secret
@@ashleysmith91 I have seen it after someone posted where it was. 😉
Hahah I feel the same exact way! He always has me so tuned out into his dang soul! He's so good at telling stories. I never miss a word but I always miss the damn hidden thing. Lol
These stories make me horribly uncomfortable but I can't stop watching 😅
Me too!
Get comfortable being uncomfortable. That's one of the Secrets of Life. If it's raining, go outside. Whatever you find difficult, head towards it and I promise you, it'll shrink back in fear of You. Nothing is as bad, or as good, as your mind believes it is.
I just found him and almost every one of his stories makes me squirm, some of them make me forget to breathe for a minute.
Story 3 is right up my alley. I work maintenance at a tier 1 supplier for European cars: Mercedes, BMW, VW, Audi, ect. The company should have had a lock-out/tag-out procedure along with a safety switch on the door tied to the e-stop circuit along with signage stating the dangers and qualified entry signage. These companies always want to save a dollar and cut corners… it is despicable.
That is why I am in a Union. We have to be trained in safety by OSHA in various things. Lock out/ Tag out is a big one. I am an electrician.
So not only did her husband stop anyone else from checking the diving equipment, but he also reported it as being safe even though it wasn't and on top of that he kept her under the water even longer claiming he was trying to save her.... Under water.
He sounds Absolutely DODGE to me. ABSOLUTELY
He knew what he was doing. Any basic diver knows being on the surface is where you want to go in an emergency.
Dont forget he then decided to put on a scuba gear tank etc..when she never surface after allocated time , instead of being there ready to Roll , he killed her
You mean Dodgy
@@michelmurphy7152 Dodge’ is an abbreviation for dodgy - spoken in a U.K. accent
Seemed he already killed 2 people out of negligence. Are these French laws that allow him to get away with this?
And I thought other countries were pretty bad...
“Tries to revive wife underwater for 2 additional minutes “ that’s bold of you to think he’s trying to revive her.
They're just arguing in sign language about if the oven was left on or not
^^I didn't understand this phrasing, either XD
@@MissSorceress what didn’t you understand?
@@pumkin610 lol
Don’t forget “my wife will be dead in 2 minutes so I need to spend 1.5 minutes putting on scuba gear before I dive in to rescue her.
Regina's story reminds me of when I worked at Nestle. They didn't train people half a crap and ended up with me having my hand crushed and them thinking they were going to show me a safety video and trying to back date the form I had to fill out so I couldn't sue. Like I couldn't read
So did you sue?
So you just gonna give us a story and not follow when someone asks you if you sued ? Real Douche move buddy , Thanks 👍
TELL US IF YOU SUED!!!
He must have sued...
@@markpatjoebilldinousar1111 You do know ppl don't get notified for EVERY single comment right? So quit with the name calling. I got a notification for a recent comment from a video a year ago, I saw I had a few comments above that one from a year ago that YT never notified me for.
I work in a pharmacy in a grocery store. The store has a cardboard bailer and a trash compactor. Because it has those pieces of equipment everyone who works there has to learn about lock out/tag out procedures. Even though I will never work with this equipment I had to do that training. The gaps in those workers training is shocking.
Yeah pippin wouldn’t let anyone else inspect his wife’s gear then insists on performing cpr underwater? Give me a break, he killed her.
Yeah he did didn’t he .
Who resuscitates a person underwater? He was definitely drowning her.
we can all think that but there is no proof he did it while yes it questionable what he did he may have been he may have been truely trying to help her and just panicked we dont know that my first though but from doing some more digging i think everyone involved had a part in her death the negligence that took place was the biggest part of it why didnt she check the gear herself just before going why didnt the crew take a step back due to the weather and just cause she did a test run the day before that went fine and the photo of here sitting in her wetsuit she just had a look of she knew something bad was going to happen and she was just making peace with it and there is a a theroy that maybe she set this up her self cause she had scoliosis and the only time she felt free was when she was in the water cause she had to wear a big back brace so the only ones who know for sure are pippin her and god they did a documentary called no limits i havent seen it yet but its on youtube i plan on watching even if is innocent legally he is morally guilty of his wifes death for allowing the dive to take place with out all the safety measures in place
@@tauntdragoon
It's really easy to just blame pippins, thank god that the justice system doesn't work on assumptions.
Like you said the crew is also to blame, it's not like they were just friends hanging out at sea, they were all professionals with sever hundreds of thousands in equipment and salaries... yet nobody though to bring a medic?
Pippins actions from this video does make it sound like he definitely did it, but that's also how MrBallen kinda chose to portray it.
But then again if you look at the suicide angle it could be that Pippins already knew what was going to happen, and he made sure that he would stay true to his wife wish of dying in that dive, so he made it so that he was the only one to check the sled because they both knew it was going to fail.
@@svampebob007 ever heard of okkam's razer or whatever?
Simplest explanation is USUALLY the correct one.
Probably killed his wife
Audrey even wanted to check the balloon and valve herself, which everybody would and should do. But her husband prevented her from doing so, telling her that it was unnecessary and he had already checked it. Big red flag there.
Suspish
My theory The husband was jealous bc he knew she could go further. What a shame
Came straight to the comments to see who else thought sabotage.. he killed her.
Also a bit sus they didn’t have a doctor or anyone medically trained on standby
Even if he didn't murder her on purpose... It was all still his fault. So fuck him, either way.
As an automotive employee...what you said about making quota at all cost...that's absolutely correct. The automotive industry is EXTREMELY demanding.
I know it's easier said than done, but your mental & physical health, and spiritual health, comes first! I hope you're in another occupation. 😊
That 2nd story was so scary and sad. I definitely think her husband had something to do with her death. This story also gave me anxiety when I was listening to it because one of my biggest fears ever is drowning. So I can't imagine the fear and panic Audrey must have been feeling.
"People had accused Pippin of being very reckless" ... Nah, after the first 2, he's just a serial killer, albeit in a very strange way.
Finally a serial killer with a more complicated method than the guy in Death Proof.
The long con , if you will.
"Its like he knew exactly what to do
and did the opposite." - dr death or whatever that show is called
even if he didn't deliberately kill them, it's looking very clear that his involvement directly leads to bad, bad things
"No one else but me is allowed to look at this equipment"
*HUGE RED FLAG RIGHT THERE.*
I wonder who's call it was to not have any medical personnel while attempting something that can easily kill you.
And why would you try to resuscitate her under water for that long or at all. Why not just bring her to the surface then give her cpr?
yeah I'm glad I'm not the only one that's thinking that there was just way too much going on with that one
Oh absolutely I would looked i don't give a damn
Yea that was shady
Both of my parents have worked in the automotive industry for over 20 years, and my mother is a project manager at a supplier for the Japanese car manufacturers. She's told me about all sorts of horrible safety violations at the plants in Mexico... that the workers want. They'll jiggle things around by hand in constantly moving machinery without a second thought. They'll be adamant about doing things without safety precautions because that's how they know how to do them (and, because of that, it's faster). I don't think therr have ever been serious accidents that horribly maimed or killed anyone at any of the plants that my mother oversees on occasion, but stories like Regina's worry me immensely. If you work in a factory, please remember that your safety is worth more than the company's production (and that suing them for harming you is going to be way more expensive for them than any fine from a customer).
What happened to Mr. Nishimoto was terrible, but, thanks to that tragedy, Mr. Ballen gets to warn people about ANOTHER danger from trapsing around Hawaii. FYI, just because the active volcanos are on the island of Hawaii (aka the Big Island), doesn’t mean that the other islands are safer! In fact, depending on the age of the lava and how much it’s broken down, the ones on the other islands are more prone to crumbling and collapsing than the ones on the Big Island.
Second story - this is one more reason why people may not get married anymore…
Third story - and the story of corporate negligence and setting people up for failure continues.
Honestly sometimes I wonder why people are even allowed to inhabit the Island. It’s a freaking volcano and recently I believe one of the “inactive” volcanos erupted and many people died and many are still unaccounted for and everything is burning. It just doesn’t seem safe for people at all imo. The whole concept of living on a darn volcano is insane. Mother nature is unpredictable and humans are destroying the planet so there’s no telling what could happen.
Audrey: "I'm going to try to break the free dive record."
Pippin: "You mean MY record?"
Audrey: "Yes."
Pippin:
Audrey: "What do you think."
Pippin: "Great. I'll help you."
EXACTLY and the fact that he didn't ensure her safety by having a doc on board the boat is just super suspicious
If I knew her personally Pippin would be a in barrel right now.
I mean, she broke his record, so... what did he gain again?
@Jason NO. Please do not spread dangerous misinformation like that. This is NOT how life works beneath water. Although, I will admit I am confused seeing so many comments like this...
However, what I have learned is that: Her lungs would be so compressed at this depth that if she took even the slightest inhale of air down there; her lungs would explode.
The divers are most definitely not using regular "AIR" as you put it either, for the oxygen becomes toxic when you go below a certain depth. It is agreed upon that the maximum depth limit for a diver to use Compressed Air is 30 to 50 meters. Beyond this, a gas mixture other than air is suggested for use to prevent nitrogen narcosis. Again, they couldn't give her even a breath of that gas either because her lungs would explode at that depth since they were compressed by her holding her breath. The diver had been adjusted through breathing of gas on the way down, while her lungs were compressed by holding her breath, and so her lungs had become so small under the weighted pressure of the water above that she would be unable to take even a single breath from their tanks anyway. They always teach to basically never inhale on the way up, only on your way down. She was doomed.
Yup. He murdered her.
I feel so bad for robert. All he wanted to do was trim his plants
Robert plant approves
In the end he trimmed down his lifespan instead
Crazy
@@sansthecomic590 He was an old man when he died so his lifespan wasn't really trimmed. He would have died very soon anyway.
@@braetonwilson4296 so he was in a final destination senerio so he would have died anyway ? You do realize that even 1 millisecond counts towards his life span what would've happened to him if he didn't fall down the hole he would have had a heart attack? I really don't think you actually thought about your reply.
The story of Audrey is much deeper than what has been told in this story. I encourage everyone to look into the story of Pipin and Audrey and this fatal dive. Some say it was careless, some think it was malicious.
Honestly, just by listening to this video I believe that it was murder!
@@DBSK4TY Mr.Ballen definitely twisted some very important facts to make Pipen look worse though. Below is a list of facts vs Mr.Ballen's BS version. My source is the Audrey Mestre Documentary, which is a 50 minute film.
MR.BALLEN'S LIES: (#1-5)
1. The record was held by Audrey's husband, Pipin
FACT: Tanya Streeter held the record at the time.
2. Storm Clouds had started to roll in.
FACT: It was overcast, but the storm had stopped prior to them heading out & didn't re-emerge.
3. The bad weather caused the cable to sway & to cause kinks in the cable.
FACT: The weather wasn't bad. The water was still rough from the storm earlier in the morning. The cable was too light & not weighted enough on bottom, which cased it to drift at an incline, when it should've been at 90 degrees.
4. A cable kink caused the sled to stop at 164m & cost her 30 seconds.
FACT:The cable didn't kink at all. The sled never stopped or cost Audrey any time loss on the descent.The descent time was excellent.
5. Pipin had kept her underwater a couple additional minutes & he tried to resuscitate her underwater.
FACT: Pipin dove down 90m, grabbed her & immediately returned to the surface as fast as possible. The documentary made a point of how dangerous it was for him to descend & ascend so quickly. Pipin didn't try to resuscitate her until he got to the surface. Also, it's not possible to resuscitate anyone underwater.
That story about extreme negligence from the employers just hiring people to fill spots and quotas with minimal to zero training, sounds terrifyingly similar to my current workplace. Just sucks that I can't find a job with similar hours and pay so I can leave this place, so I'm just being extra cautious and triple checking everything where I work.
its crazy how good they pay you tbh
Let me get this straight, wife tries to beat husband's record. Husband is the only one to check her equipment, other people realize that something is wrong (not him who is apparently a professional), and only the husband gets to resuscitate her? Yeah, something ain't right here.
he did it under water too thats kinda sus
@@loveit1628 I think it’s his fault. It has to be.
"He threw on scuba gear".... like wouldn't they always have someone on hand ready to go? Sure sounds like he killed her to me.
Even if he did not deliberately kill her he was criminally negligent. His bypassing of normal safety measures and insistance to do it himself creates a large amount of suspicion as to his motives. Sounds pretty hinky to me.
i don't think you can jump to conclusions based on what little we know the husband may have just been reckless i mean you would have to be a bit crazy to free dive to 200 meters. I went 30 meters with a tank and got scared when we realised how quickly our oxygen ran out. Plus you can get nitrogen narcosis which is like being drunk and you can make fatal errors. Anyway i really feel sorry for the woman.
Who patiently waited the week for this amazing content?
Impatiently waiting lol it's been 2 weeks since we had videos love his channel hes awesome but I'm in withdrawal 🤣
Me but not patiently. I was hoping everything was ok with him. Was getting a bit anxious. Glad he’s here again. I guess we all need time off sometimes.
I did.
I waited...but not patiently 😂
I was checking every day
I had heard of the robot 23 story before from a safety meeting we had at an old job. It’s a sad story but when I heard they waiting on maintenance all I could think was typical maintenance department
I found you yesterday and have been binge watching you since!! Love, love, LOVE your channel! Never stop doing this, your fantastic!
For the free diving one, no no it wasn't accidental. After the third death because of the same lack of safety it's at the very least negligence.
Serial killer in the making - in my opinion 🤔
I feel the same way hella fishy
Yeah I think it was murder 🤬🤷♂️
@@taebae1824 ;)
cpr underwater should have been a huge red flag
Audrey wanted to break Pippins record, but Pippin wasn't having any of that.
That’s exactly what I thought....
Exactly and those 2 other that died on his watch the guys clearly got an ego
I love this guy always listen to him right before I go to sleep. On that last story about Regina being impaled. Good thing her family at least got a payout. My uncle recently died after a car crash. Not sure who gonna fight to collect.
when underwater, and holding your breath, the weirdest thing is if you can fight through the pain that sets in after a couple of mins it goes away almost instantly and you almost feel at home, it's exhilarating like a "runner's high".. but you can't push yourself or you'll pass out without knowing it basically.
same with having to poo honestly
I remember watching a documentary about The No limits dive, along with audrey history they follow her most direct competitor into achieving the same world record dive. Her competitor was also "managed" by her husband but the difference in preparation and safety measures were abysmal - that included the worst case scenario where the balloon fails (by mechanical or human fault, which almost happened due to her setting hypoxia) She had rescue divers at several depths that by simply passing her from hand to hand could pull her to the surface very fast, medical team on board and at the beach. Audrey had none of that. That dive was doomed from the very beginning, and that husband of hers..... I don't buy is innocence for one second.
Yeah even if he wasn't consciously trying to kill her, he was criminally underprepared for anything to go wrong.
@@mercurymay39 The thing is, you can’t be that criminally unprepared without trying to kill someone. Especially if you’re a master in your field.
I fail to see how taking a tiny breath of the diver's oxygen and then letting it out while ascending, then repeating, wouldn't have worked.
Gahhh how awful!!!
@@ValCronin the lung pressure thing that mr Ballen said wouldn't let it work i thought?
Regina’s story is exactly the reason why you shouldn’t go above and beyond for a job, wearing yourself out or putting yourself in bad situations. It’s just a job. There’s a million more that are better, have better pay and hours. Don’t sweat the small stuff.
Ok please clarify as going above and beyond for something such as the military can save lives.
Especially for $8.50 an hour
Dean, you don’t have much room to talk. You put yourself in bad situations all the time with your job.
I almost cried when I heard her story😥
@@misharron9579 You can read right? He said don’t go above and beyond for a job, and didn’t specify what jobs. I’m pointing out that sometimes it’s worth it to go above and beyond.
honestly the thing that shocked me the most in this whole video is that someone would actually pay $4000 for a wedding dress
😄😂
I feel bad about Regina’s story as I am a electrician maintenance worker in a car plant…usually as soon as you open the gates it’s automatically kills control power and pneumatic energy to anything inside the gate that is not guarded…maybe they have different safety rules in the states…robot was probably on a “wait” command and whatever she did satisfied those conditions…that’s unfortunate…
Earlier this year I was in a work accident where I nearly lost my life. Hearing the story about Regina made me almost relive my experience...
It is NOT worth it, to put yourself in danger in order to satisfy an employer and their production quota.. Stay safe....
damn you almost became the strange dark mysterious... but now ur still juan lopez :D
Glad your ok
they will replace you withing a couple of days if not weeks, you are replaceable, you are just another number in a spreadsheet to them, do not give your life for a paycheck.
RIP Regina. this tragedy happened when I was working in KMMG. It is NOT worth it, to put yourself in danger. please take care.
@@svampebob007 there is a great resignation. Glad Americans finally opened their eyes
Anyone else really appreciate how knowledgeable MrBallen is? He doesn't just tell a story , he gives you a full understanding of it and everything involved.
Heyy Zoe, I'm loving your picture. Do you have Instagram??
@@michaelrustenberg7943 oh Michael please stop
Thanks Zoe!
@@MrBallen 😮 You're welcome! I Can't wait for tomorrow's upload! 🙂
Agree
As a maintenance technician, I can't tell non technicians enough how wrong they are about how things work. Every day, I run into some know-it-all who (based on a few RUclips videos that they've watched) thinks that they've figured out what's wrong with the equipment that they've called us to fix for them. 99% of the time, they are wrong; even when they're right.
I've worked in several different industries that rely on maintenance technicians to repair, install and maintain their equipment. In my experience, it takes years of experience to develop high level skills as a technician of any kind. That means that even trained technicians often don't know how to fix certain problems, especially when it comes to emergencies. The safety measures alone takes a ton of studying and training, let alone the actual repairs.
The bottom line is, never try to fix a dangerous or hazardous problem on your own. It's fine to watch RUclips videos to learn how to do basic repairs but don't be an arrogant fool and put yourself and others in unnecessary danger. Call a technician and wait for them to arrive.
You are correct about the pressure a large car company puts on it’s suppliers. When I was a contractor most of our business was from Toyota and there is a clause in their contract stating that if supplier/contractors create downtime in a plant, the fine is 1.2 million dollars and hour for every hour they are down.
Some of Audrey’s closest friends (among others) still 100% believe that Audrey’s husband, Pippin Ferreris, murdered her through sabotage on that dive.
@srush not having the stigma of being a divorcee, countless men opt for killing their spouse instead of divorce because of the cost. He probably knew he could get away with it seeing how dangerous doing that record was.
@srush Audrey’s friends believe Pippin sabotaged Audrey’s gear so he could “save her just in time” and look like the hero. So he didn’t intend to kill her. He just wanted to be the center of attention.
Sounds like water cooler talk to me
@@guitarlover1370 it’s technically “underwater cooler” talk.
PLUS...attempting CPR underwater?? Like...who does that?!
The second one was a murder caught on video and the killer is living free... Rest in peace... A truly cruel world this is.
She took a huge risk and didn't seem to want to take extra precautions. But yeah it's his fault
@@pumkin610 apparently, you missed the part of the story where EVERYTHING he did is clearly suspicious. Most people, when their spouse is attempting a possible life-threatening stunt, would take extra steps to ensure their safety and success. The husband did the exact opposite at nearly every step.
@@pumkin610 It's his fault, obviously. But she was taking a HUGE risk (like jumping off a cliff) that she didn't have to and could have refused to do it unless there was the appropriate medical staff, extra dive team help people, all the usual safety devices ...all the safety people and devices that normally would be there. And she could have inspected the "balloon" herself too as the 2nd person. She just trusted her husband too much (like we all do sometimes and regret it), even tho he was known to be lax in the safety area and 2 workers had been killed under his command. I don't know if her death was on purpose by him, or if he just wasn't that smart and had been lucky until then (not counting the 2 deaths).
@@pumkin610 If he straight up rigged her gear to fail than ya, it was.
Negligent homicide in the least?
I'm on my second round of watching your videos because you're so good that I could listen to you all day, every day! 🥰 Great job John 🥰
It's a tragic story but the idea of someone performing CPR to a drown victim whilst still underwater is beyond parody😂
Man hearing stories about osha violations where people die or are horribly injured make me so upset. As a mechanical engineer who studied advanced robotics in school one of the first things our instructor drilled into us was that every osha regulation is built on the blood and lives of injured workers. Machinery can be replaced lives cannot, something big corporations tend to forget
I mean.. I'm sure they hired someone the following week to replace her on the line.
Yep. Even on job sites with strong and influential unions, not following lock-out procedures is usually grounds for instant dismissal.
To them life can be replaced because they can just hire more people. Human lives are expendable to them.
I don't think 'forget' is correct. 'Willingly turn a blind eye' is more accurate. 1.5 mil? How does that stack up against the usual fine that company would incur??? Pricks. It certainly isn't enough for the life of an individual with hope and promise.
@@baristaz8834 It's cheaper for corporations to pay for a wrongful death lawsuit than paying for someone's workers comp benefits for the next 20 - 30 years.
As a certified rescue diver, I can tell you that you can take a breath of air at 171 meters down and everything is ok, you can also swim up to the surface but, and most important, you must release the air as you go up. You can NOT have a full breath of new air in your lungs as you ascend to the surface, your lungs will explode, killing you, but if you release all of the new air, you will be ok. Divers must continuously breath as they ascend to the surface or they can explode their lungs, free divers dont have that problem as most of you know.
She could have taken air in to save her life at 171 meters down, but not hold it in as she ascends.
I believe the husband had something to do with her death because he wouldn't let anyone else inspect the equipment before the dive.
That's what surprised me the most about that story. Even as part of your advanced certification, there is a whole unit of study and practice on rescue diving and you learn about the importance of having air in your lungs but continuously expelling it as you ascend. A safety diver came to her aid but did not give her air, which makes me think they were not aware of this, which also makes me question if they were even certified in the first place (which would be par for the course considering the lack of medical personnel and safety regulations that were being followed).
Wow, thanks for explaining all of that. I think he killed her too. He had been known for getting people killed though, so maybe he was just incompetent? No, he probably didn’t want her to break his record.
@@cuppycakey5013 - that's what I think. He wanted to keep his record and killed her. He broke many rules that day but yet no investigation
@@casandrabarata8079
there were no safety divers on deeper water..
And yes he killed her..
Its an old story..
Thank you, I was thinking that. I just took a scuba class over the summer and the very first day I remember them telling us you need to just slowly exhale as you ascend because the air in your lungs will be expanding
Btw, DIVE TALK AND BALLEN, LOVE THEM BOTH. They helped me understand how being underwater works, and both channels actually make me want to dive. I have a friend who's going to take a class with me, and he's already certified. Great content.
I just read the report and it says nothing about why the airbag didn’t inflate. It only said that the cable was too thin causing problems in the decent. It also said the cable usually had a lead weight on the bottom that weighed 25 but this time it had a concrete weight that weighed 15. So it was definitely a cover up for the husband.
Tried to bring her back to life underwater. Forgot she wasn’t a fish. Found innocent.
That part - and that part alone - actually could make sense out of similar reasons as the 'no air because lung inflation' thing that stopped the diver to give her air.
@@ApsaraMenaka this lung inflation thing is bullshit.
If that sled was moving up so slowly, there would be plenty of time to breath that air pressure out and take a new breath. The scuba diver is breathing aswell.
@@anonanon3066 that would be true, if she still would be able to breathe in and out by herself at that point - but then she would not need resuscitation in the first place.
@@ApsaraMenaka of course she would need resuscitation. She doesn't have an air tank herself, does she?
@@anonanon3066 yes, and because she does not have air her lungs would not inflate like it should under water and the lungs can not slowly get used to breathe under normal pressure slowly like they have to to prevent a total lung collapse once she breathes over water. But I won't discuss this in endless circles. Either you understand this or you don't. I explained why. Doing this more than twice in a RUclips comment section isn't my thing. If you still think you are right I just hope your life never depends on that.
She worked there 6 months or so, 12 hours a day, 7 days a week sometimes, and they had never taught her, or any of her crew the lockout - tagout procedure for her machines. That is a criminal negligence and there should have been jail time involved.
The only way is to affect their profit. If it sells, why would they change it? Moral obligation? That has no power in a criminal system.
@@Gnossiene369 The last I heard, her mother was suing the company and the U.S. Labor Department fined the company and two staffing agencies $2.5 million for 27 safety violations. But I'm curious about your "Moral obligation? That has no power in a criminal system." Which part of what system do you find ito be a criminal system?
Usually, operators are instructed to never enter the caged off area of any robotic cell they work with. That is the job of the maintenance technicians and they are taught of the LOTO procedure. As soon as that machine failed, their productivity and target depended on the response time of the maintenance technician. She should have never stressed or bothered about entering the cell, they would miss their target with a good justification.
@@prolarka I'm pretty sure there's no justifying missing a quota to disgusting, greedy, selfish employers whose main and only concern is meeting a quota. That's why she did what she did.
This woman died because of greed and the way we are as americans brainwashed to think "no excuses just get it done". This woman wanted to be a DOCTOR but didn't know about LOTO. I have never worked in an industrial setting and have never been a maintenance worker but I know about LOTO. We're taught that safety procedures are all "common sense" and that you can do any job safely if common sense is applied so "just get it done, no excuses."
That is why she died. The lack of training is just the legal argument to get the family the financial relief they deserve. 3mil plus 1.5mil to the family? Its nothing. They should have been forced to pay out more to the family AND be forced to pay the amount in man hours they saved not training these people all of these years. Every single employee up to that point. The time it would take to give them a safety class multiplied by not their hourly wage but their labor value. It would bankrupt the company or give them such a hit that it would actually make it more cost effective to train the people instead of risking this.
Instead we have token justice.
I'm not at all surprised about poor Regina's story. My sister works for another major automotive company and not only is she battling with them over a workman's comp issue caused by something that was a safety violation (she was injured by a coworker who was poorly educated about safety procedure, and the injury makes it unsafe for her to be working on the floor even now, four years after it occurred, so she has to do supportive tasks), but she has a coworker who has filed, and WON, not once, not twice, but the times for over $1 million dollars. The coworker is very well off financially, but she has to continue her employment with the company because her medical bills are high now, and she couldn't possibly find another job that would cover her costs that she could actually perform. So, rather than find another job, she has to stay employed with them, and she can't perform most of the tasks. They actually make decent money at that plant, though, so most workers want to stay on despite the safety issues and other problems, because it only requires a high school education and most of the employees would never make comparable salaries anywhere else. She said they have a term for it, called: "The Golden Handcuffs," because everyone hates the job, but they all make very good money. Their benefits are even beyond excellent; they paid for expensive fertility treatments that led to my sister having twins after having suffered infertility for over a decade of trying to conceive. So, I can see why they have such a term for their job.
Wow thank you that is mr ballen level story telling ... i wish you all well !!
That last story makes me glad that 2 of the 3 places I've ever worked have been single location businesses and therefore were taken much better care of. The third only had about 1000 employees so it was relatively small but even at that scale there were already some problems so I can't imagine what these giant companies are like
Before this guy got on RUclips, I’m imagining his friends sitting in a circle around him, beers in hand, intently listening to his newest tale
Haha..I thought the same thing lol
Hey my thought was real close.. I thought "Dam I wonder wat his friends be thinkin" .. Dudes got stories for days
I'm sure he was a hit in the barracks.
L /m no lo
For real, imagine camping with this dude, you’re around a fire and someone says “anyone got any good stories”?
Wife, jokingly: "I'm going to beat your world record!"
Husband, extremely competitive and possibly psychopathic: "And i took that personally"
The sad part is that he was the one that wanted her to do it, she didn't wanted it. And she did that same exact depth the day before and it was completely normal she went to 171 and got out alive, but died in the day of the official record
The moment he said that the husband didn’t want anyone else to touch the air thing, I knew what would happen, and it was definitely intentional.
@raed tarshishi *break
Spent a couple more minutes trying to resuscitate her under water??? wtf 🤯🤯
The whole time I kept wondering if she had life insurance and whether he was the beneficiary, as it became ever increasing apparent he did not want her to survive. Then at the very end it came to me....no, it wasn't an insurance payout he was after (well, not entirely...if at all) but rather not wanting anyone to beat his record...especially a woman, especially his wife.
Fcking POS got away with it too 😠
I love listening to him tell the stories, I have a hard time paying attention when people tell me something like this, but his voice jus makes it more interesting and wanting to keep listening. 🎉🎉😊😊
Well working at Honda ive seen some crazy stuff, there is a huge robot line where all the shell of the car is joined together. One robot malfuction resulted in the shell being ripped in half. When it is working correctly it is a sight to behold, with all the robots working as a team and the spot weilds shooting off sparks in all directions like mini fireworks. You can watch it for hours and see something new each time. Incredible engineering.

While washing dishes, drinking coffee out in the carport, going on an errand, myself and my husband enjoy listening to MrBallen and its great.
When it comes to the last story, Im not a robotics maintenance guy, Im a car diagnostics guy, but even if I was neither of those, the rule number one is always to make sure there is NO power in the stuff you meddle with. Absolutely no power. No remaining charge in capacitors, no voltage, no spinning flywheel, nothing. If you dont follow this rule, you cant service any real piece of machinery, period.
The second story seems like murder. The fact he had decades of experience, ordered himself alone to inspect the equipment and the crew lacked a doctor is too coincidental.
... and tried resuscitating her underwater. Strange.
@@ashergarcia3076 facts who I’m there right Mind would think oh let me trying and save her still underwater

Me, I was hoping everything was alright with him. Not like him to miss a week.
I definitely have!!!!
@@WyattRyeSway same I was so worried about him
When I worked at a refinery, in Northern California, we had the same procedure called “lockout-tag out” you weren’t allowed to enter an area that was taped off without the person that had locked the area and written a tag, which is bright red with the time and date, and all the information required. for the 2 1/2 years I worked there we had zero major incidents on our crew.
I worked at a place where someone got crushed in a huge hydraulic press after-hours when the machine wasn't properly locked out.
The only thing left behind was a sort of metallic arm (must've been prosthetic) and what looked like some sort of computer chip.
The freediver Audrey Mestre story is actually WAY darker. Many people think it should be considered murder and that he purposefully messed with her equipment. It's rumored that he was abusive and they were having marital troubles. I think she also tried to back out that day because she wasn't feeling well but he made her do it anyways. The onboard doctor was also a dentist lol.
Omg 🤣 sad shit
I feel bad for her, and it’s all sketchy as hell, but ultimately it was her dive. As much as she may have been pressured, you can’t make someone go on a dive. She chose to do it despite the bad weather, despite the untested equipment, despite the lack of personnel, and despite not following procedure with the balloon inspection. And she ended up dying because of it.
@holly lambert That’s a good point; I didn’t take that into account. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he was abusive, and that would explain her decision making.
@@michaelh9649 Just gonna jump in here, lol. I can absolutely see a woman (or man) who is in an abusive relationship (think gaslighting etcetera) doing something they absolutely don't want to do. I wasn't in a battered relationship but was with a narcissist and let me tell ya, you're mind begins working differently and quite literally you are brainwashed to a degree. The degree in which you're brainwashed differs with everyone and the things you're brainwashed about also differ. Also, gaslighting and verbal/emotional abuse is something you would do about anything to avoid. If doing the dive put her in a "love bombing" phase of the relationship that would also make her actually want to do whatever he wanted her to as to make him happy and keep the relationship in the love phase. So, those are possibilities and I can understand this. It took me several years to get back to normal and normal ways of thinking, essentially un brainwashing myself which is hard work & needs support of loved ones. If this was her case her family and loved ones probably knew and likely disliked him. I don't know those details.
What!!??
How did it get ruled out as an accident!?
"No limits free-diving" seems like a death wish to me.
You’d think they would put a super heavy counterweight so the rope stayed straight....
Well it is a death wish if your husband is named pippin
I appreciate the engineering, but just do it with a dummy and have the actual diver sit like ten feet under water while the sled does it's thing.
Yes, I agree, but everyone is always looking for drama and are dead set on blaming the husband even when he was innocent according to the police.
as soon as a record is involved people don't care about savety, look up the world water record speed if you don't believe me, noone survived that.
I discovered this guy 5 days ago, and i've been watching him for 5 days so far
Omg your stories make me gasp. Especially the 2nd one where the girl quietly drowned! Excellent stories.
Very scary life these excessive daredevils lead!
She looked like she was sad like she knew her fate. I watched many documentaries about Audrey and this last dive was different. She wasn’t talking she wasn’t her usual self. As if she wasn’t ready but was pressured to break this record because someone else broke the record a few weeks earlier. Rip Audrey, my condolences and respect to her family.
The someone else was her husband, did you miss that and the 78 idiots that liked your comment, Pay attention.
Audrey's husband murder her on purpose, its the perfect murder. Someone need to check if she had life insurance and if he benefits for it or if he is have a affair.
@@keithbentley6081 It's 183 people idiots now, champ
He rushed this trial, he refused to let anyone else check the balloon gear, and he "tried to resuscitate her" underwater?
How much was her life insurance?
I just think they weren't prepared properly and this shit sound super dangerous anyway. You take your life in your own hands when you decide to push limits. Whether her husband was sus or not.
🚩🚩This case needs to be reopened! He has a reputation of getting other divers killed by being reckless. Then he refuses anyone else to check the balloon which ultimately caused her death and no one considered this a bright shiny red flag?!
I agree Jodi!! He tried CPR underwater?!! Doesn’t make sense. 😞
He murdered her.
I wondered if there was a life insurance payout? Just saying..could've been considered a motive. Wish this had been disclosed.

Let him take the same balloon ride see if he fairs better.
I love watching these videos so educational and be aware of our reality 😊
You are 100% correct about supplier companies. I've worked for one and it was hard labor. Safety violations left and right, and hard work. The main car companies themselves are good but the suppliers are criminal. I'd go as far to say don't work for a factory unless there are hundreds or thousands of employees in the same plant. There is safety in numbers. A plant can't get away with something when there are hundreds to fight against.
Im a maintenance mechanic that works on robotic equipment. A 4-6 axis arm like the one that impaled that lady could throw a car across the warehouse. Ours punch holes in the sides of trailers all the time, the robotic forklifts have killed people at other plants and just kept pulling orders till someone noticed the blood.
Wow that’s horrifying
You got a reply from Mr. Ballen
bruh
I did a tour through a car factory with those exact robots and the tourguide said there was an accident where a person got folded backwards in seconds by a robot. They are insanely strong.
@@saladasss2092 We are but flesh and bone we can't competteeee 😭😭😭 lol
I was a security guard for an automotive factory years ago. One night, I was messing around on my phone in the booth because it was usually a time of night when all was peaceful when suddenly, the entire ground trembled violently beneath my feet and I heard an explosion from inside the central heart of the assembly room to the right of me. I took off toward that area and when I got inside to document the problem, I saw what happened. The factory used molds that weighed anywhere from 50k to 100k, which were transported around the room by massive cranes attached to the ceiling. One of the crane cables had snapped and a 70k mold had come thundering to the ground. One of the managers was taking a desperate head count of his team surrounding him, all of whom were visibly shaken, some of whom were panicking and being held upright by their teammates. Against my better judgment, I wandered around the fallen mold taking pictures for my report. To my UTTER relief, the whole team was fine. No one had been standing where it fell. There wouldn't have been much left to return to the family if they had.
To my utter horror, a few days later, a message went out to all employees, including me even though I was contracted through another company, saying basically that this sort of incident is inexcusable and that everyone needs to focus on the factory quota above all else. They were then ordered to continue using the broken crane, which was hastily deemed 'functional' until a new one could be ordered sometime the following year.
About twenty people quit and I honestly went not long after. I was beyond disgusted by this point, having reported numerous safety violations and the constant appearance of aggressive drunkards on the property, to which I was told to just tell them to leave if I saw them. (I'm a tiny female going up against what can sometimes be two or three drunken idiots at a time. Yeah, I'm sure that would've gone down REAL well for a mere night guard.) This mess was the final straw. Someone could have lost their life and all this company gave a shit about was its bottom line.
Maybe don't be a security guard if you're a tiny female...
Yikes! Hope you found a safer job afterwards!
Make a BOLI complaint. (Bureau of labor Institute)
you did the correct thing
What company. Why not say who?
Yeah I worked in some factories like that production with hampering old machines it was insanity. I also worked at a gelatin factory,basically very relaxed work keeping the (slow) process going. When I had just started one of my jobs was to fill a huge tanke with x amount of bags of whatever powder. One day, looking over the edge, I dropped my lighter from my breast pocket into the tank. The blades at the bottom were off so I decided to get this lighter as I was ashamed it would turn up somewhere. I told some senior worker weeks later and he just told me to never do that again. There is a switch in the control room to turn on those blades. Now no one had reason to flick it at the time but he said it could happen by accident. I would have been a great story for mr. Ballen.
People very often no longer listen to their instincts (intuition) and should do so!! As we have heard many times, not listening can cost your life. So good advice is: ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR INSTINCT!!!

I was 16 when Audrey passed away. I remember hearing it in 2002 and thinking then that Pippin sabotaged her to avoid her breaking his record.
Well you thought wrong then. He (Pipin) didn't hold the record, Tanya Streeter held the record.
@@_MjG_ I didn't say the world record. I said his.
@@GAshoneybear I missed that, but it still doesn't make any sense. Pipin was training Audrey to go deeper & pushing her to go deeper. He wanted her to break his record. If you watched The Audrey Mestre Documentary, you would realize just how ridiculous you comment is. You could see in the Documentary just how badly he wanted her to break not only his record, but the world record. The others on the diving crew & those that knew the couple, back it all up with their commentary.
@@_MjG_ Ok
Man, I wanna have friends and family like Robert's friends and family. They checked on him. Called the cops. Everything. His people cared.
I lived in Hawaii for 6 years, its the Aloha spirit. Many seniors meet up at McDonalds for morning coffee snd breakfast once a week sometimes more. May your day be pleasant!
But you're bacon, everybody loves you! 🥓💚
Ima be one of those old people they find mummified in their house after no body missed them 30 years earlier.
I’m sorry, I would like this comment but it’s at 69
Haha! Yeah, I overdosed on drugs one night at a friends house 2 hours away from my home and woke up three days later with my car missing and not a single person in the trailer the friend had been renting. He had literally moved out and out of the six other people there that night not one of them called an ambulance for me or anything. I called the dude who I figured took my car to get back home, he and two others had rode up with me, and not only did they leave me to die he had been driving my car for the last three days because when I told him to come get me had said, "There isn't enough gas bro." I had filled it up just before getting to the friends house. Which meant in three days he had driven around 350 miles in my car. I told him, "I don't give a fuck! Borrow the shit from your mom and come get me!" He had his mom follow him and dropped my car off a block away and left so he didn't have to see me in person because he knew I was pissed. He only extended the time before he got his asswhipping, though, as he got what he deserved.
The lockout procedure at the end he's referring to is probably a "lock out tag out" procedure. Meaning the power is shut off or unplugged, and literally locked with a padlock or some sort.of severe preventative and not opened until the issue is resolved. A tag is supposed to be placed on this with the criteria for when it's to be removed. So you lock it out, and make sure the tag is out. Hence, lock out, tag out.
Training people on safety is important. I heard "make sure you have the lockout tag out material" for almost 8 years at my job before I found out what it actually was. And how? A RUclips video. That I googled. While trying to repair a machine. For me, was common sense to turn it off and unplug, but I had not been trained on the actual procedure. Every company does this crap. It's all about sales, while they scream "we love our employees, they're our backbone!" But scream at employees about quotas. It's all a show.
Or, locking down the equipment so it can't suddenly kick on and start moving.
I disagree with the verdict. She WAS properly trained. The training consisted of _don't go inside the cage. Dangerous robot inside. Your terminal is outside. Any, problem, call maintenance_ .
THAT was why they were standing around waiting and getting stressed over missing their quota.
Come on guys, if you've ever worked with super expensive equipment like those robots, you'd know the bosses don't want you to mess around with them, if you weren't properly trained. You could break something that shut down the line for days because you broke some weird part they don't have spares for on hand, because the thing you break don't normally break. She would have got in trouble for going in, even if she'd escaped unhurt. Ask me how I know. I tried to fix something that was not dangerous but was very expensive, a part that wasn't really "user serviceable".
If they'd trained her in this "lockout procedure" they'd have been even MORE liable. It'll suggest that they expected her to go inside, but then didn't train her properly to do maintenance.
If the factory was in a blackout because a tree fell on to the cables bringing in the power, was she going to hop on to a forklift and fiddle with the 500kV lines?
It's terrible that she died. But it was her own mistake. Made worse by the pressure to meet quota.
I think it’s very obvious that the Husband in the second story killed her. Too many things that went wrong that he was directly involved in or solely responsible for. And in story three, I can’t believe her wedding dress cost $4000. They’re broke. My entire wedding cost less than that. They don’t have to be expensive
You ever think of all the research must go into this channel? This man goes into such detail, and knows everything about every story. I mean how does he consistently find these stories millions of us have never heard of? It’s fucking impressive, and this is why I respect MrBallen so much.
Im pretty sure we all do. ?👏👏👏👏
If I was getting paid a lot of money through sponsorships and youtube ad revenue, I would spend a lot of time doing research too!
Top ten youtbers can never beat him
Amen!!
It's probably his full time job and it sounds like he has a team
Regina’s story was horrifying. Just heart breaking.
Yes.. That was tragic 😔
We worked at the Kia plant in ga
The worst part is that it was totally preventable.
Also, I'm calling BS that they didn't know they should lock out the equipment before going in there.
@@Warren_GG, the broad strokes of the story are probably still true though, right? Like, the point of all the details is really just to show that she's just a real person who was trying to do her best. The real point is to protect yourself from this kind of preventable incident.
My mother used to work on the line at Ford and the line was moving so fast that she wasn't able to fit a part into the truck properly. She immediately went and told her supervisor that one of the trucks had gone through to the next section without a properly installed part, but the supervisor told her to shut up and get back on the line and get caught up, because they had a quota. He told her to just leave it alone and worry about getting the trucks coming in fitted with the right parts properly instead so they could meet said quota.
Later on, that batch of F150s was recalled, and someone had to be fired over the mistake. It wasn't the supervisor who ignored the mistakes, it was my mom, who rightly reported the mistake within seconds of it happening.
This is a late comment but I wanted to add that I really enjoy listening to your videos while Im at work because the narative makes it easy to paint a picture in my head while keeping my phone set aside. Funny enough I actually work at an automotive factory (I work for Bosch and make steering systems for several different makes of vehicle) and we do work almost nonstop exactly as you described 10 or 12 hour days 7 days a week, but we have very strict safety measures. When one of our robotic arms goes down the only people authorized to fix it is maintenence and they have to LOTO when they perform work.
When a community of people who's sport of choice is "how deep can I go before I drown" considers you reckless... that's some serious stuff.
I live here on the big island of Hawaii and the scariest lava tubes are the ones in the river. If you go swimming when the water is especially rough and you swim over the wrong place you can get sucked in like a vacuum. A couple from the mainland decided to ignore the caution signs and went swimming regardless of it and no one saw them again. Its generally assumed they were sucked into one of the hidden lava tubes in that area.
Well thanks for the nightmare I'm going to have tonight. Good thing I actually pay attention to caution signs.
Oh wow that’s horrible!
If only there was a channel on RUclips that might tell that shocking story.... oh wait !!!
Damn....
Thank you for linking the whole story in the description.
who else has become a little traumatized from watching so many mr ballen videos and scared of the world lol
As someone who has worked in a car part manufacturing plant, I can 100000000% confirm that they are under Hella pressure, over work employees and cut just about every cost corner and safety regulation they can to keep the lines running and keep production going and you do develop a "production at all costs" mentality surprisingly quick
Pipin didn't want anyone beating his record, not even his wife.
Very sad
Yeah that was clearly murder
@@Hazbin-hotel-babe murder my ass more like a darwin award recipient...
Probably got a good insurance payoff too.
@@locoprospector3575 not really .
Man... I work in a UPS warehouse, and well, that third story is why I'm really thankful we have a union. You still get similar incidents, but people are more likely to be bold enough to refuse to risk their lives for the job when they know they'll have backup.
