I’d rather get attacked by tigers during a tsunami than get stuck in a cave
Weston agreed
You can say that again
Nuh uh! I had to leave the room as it had my claustrophobia kicking in big time!
Facts!!!
@@Baumer747 I don't have claustrophobia, but hearing enough of these stories where people get stuck in caves, started giving me claustrophobia while I was listening to this one.
I hate the cave case so much
me too
yup
That's the most disturbing one!!!
Yes. When i was listening to that story i felt claustrophobic and sick.
Yeah thinking you’re in an explored named cave but your actually not and it gets really thin
I get extremely uncomfortable in like a really emotional way when I hear someone is stuck where they passed away “to this day”. It’s so chilling and saddening.
It’s absolutely haunting.
fax
i know. even though he’s long dead the thought of john all by himself in the pitch black, stuck for all eternity makes my heart hurt so bad. it almost feels like homesickness
@@missfrizzler ikr!
I had been in that cave twice, in the 90’s. My younger sister even when into the “Birth Canal”. I was not happy with her for doing that. When she told me about a man getting stuck in that same part of the cave, 10 years after we had been there, and dying, I didn’t believe her. I thought…this has to be an urban legend, but….it was true. I was so sick to my stomach and full I’d dread. 😰
The story about John Jones and Nutty Puddy cave always makes me so anxious and sad. This is the first time I’ve heard in detail about how they actually tried to get him out. Something I’ve realized listening to Mr Ballen’s stories about people getting stuck: if you have to take a deep breath to try to get through something, you’re already f*cked.
There is another video on it with a lot more details and pictures, it's long though, maybe 45 mins, i will post a link to it if i can find it again. It even has a map of the cave, so you can see just how small that section is and how he would have had to bend to get to the point he got to. It's pretty anxiety inducing, and the rescuers tried so hard to get him out, until they realized it was hopeless, yet they still kept trying.
Okay, so it is only 16 minutes long, but it felt like forever to me!
ruclips.net/video/o-TaF2DbaWw/видео.htmlsi=SNJ5H3Yis70modh8
@@Biomess1 idk if I would want to watch it, tbh. Just hearing about it for the first time with almost no detail was enough 😵💫😣
@@jessicas.1645 I don't blame you. Out of the many cave death stories I've heard so far, that linked video was the saddest one. He actually survived upsidedown much longer than the doctors ever thought a person could. At least he got to say goodbye to his wife and child, the rescuers had put a radio down to him so they could talk.
A medical student really should know better but it's a horrible way to go. RIP John
That cave story is one of the worst things i could ever imagine.
Same
Ik
Has to be one of the dumbest things anyone has ever done. Not to mention that the guy had a kid and another on the way. I would never risk my life knowing that it could leave my son fatherless.
I had to fast forward through that one.
Same it makes me stop breathing
I'm never going into a cave EVER
Many caves have guided tours, are safe, and very beautiful.
I'm a cave tour guide. It's safe as long as you are with a guide. We know safety measures and don't allow people to do anything that could put them in danger
Do you play Minecraft?
Never
Same here.
The picture of the tiger standing over the guy is a perfect representation of our basic powerlessness when it comes to nature. Ultimately, it’s always in control one way or another.
Lessons from Mr. Ballen: 1. Don't go scuba diving. 2. Don't go into a forest. 3. Don't go into caves. 4. Don't go on vacation. 5. Don't go anywhere you're not supposed to go.
@@Queen74-g4t sometimes that’s not even safe
Don't go out the front door. Stay on the couch and watch MrBallen
But also, you're not safe in your own home. And your family members could also kill you...
I think I’ve watched every single one of Mr. Ballen’s videos, and that’s 100% true.
@@kenosjumpscaresI realize I'm replaying a bunch of them and you know I'm totally cool with it lol
Can we just appreciate the fact that he never clickbaits us
This has been copied tons of times
Hell yeah
@@averagefriend6291 or my personal favorite- any variation of “who got recommended this and is now addicted?”
Like everyone, the answer is everyone. This is why we are ALL here.
@@chesterfeildsofa you put something In the picture that dosnt shutup in the vod
@@hanster.gun.3438 Ah. Thank you
That poor tiger was like "Okay. I don't know what's going on, but this human shows up and I start getting hit by rocks. Maybe if I make him go away the rocks will stop."
he wasnt wrong
Well the people would have been scared and ran away so he wasn't wrong I don't know how people think throwing rocks at a wild animal wouldn't make it mad
@@VVguy1 right!? I understand the fear that makes people scream and panic, but rocks? If someone threw rocks at you youd be pissed! How is an animal different? No one understands that they need to just stay calm and quiet and not make the situation worse. 9 times out of 10 if your plan includes throwing rocks, it's not a good plan lol.
People are so stupid!! Had they not thrown rocks, this guy who was so fascinated by tiger placed himself in that situation and it backfired on him when people turn their stupid light on very brightly!! WTF is wrong with people. I feel sorry for the animals encaged in these facilities!
@@MY-zx6lz "turn their stupid light on very brightly" 🤣
I’ve heard this story before and it never fails to horrify me. As a Medical student, Josh would have known his fate. Without access to his airways, they couldn’t have intubated him to knock him out whilst they broke his legs & whatever else they had to to get him out. For me, this is one of the worst ways to die but I am claustrophobic. I found that out whilst caving/spelunking as a teenager 😱
I couldn't even go through a generous-sized hole in escarpment rock. It was big enough to get through but fear stopped me.
@@BMatrix-re6xi You are right!
Born and raised in Utah. I actually have been in nutty putty cave. I went there as a scouting activity about 17 years ago when I was 18. I don’t consider myself to be claustrophobic, but I remember getting really scared at some points and thinking how in the world no one has gotten stuck in this cave. I also remember having that huge sigh of relief when I came back out having been in there for about 3 hours. And then I remember this story coming out when it happened. I can’t begin to imagine the awful death. I feel so bad for his wife and kids he left behind. Truly a tragic story.
I am sorry, but how is it even possible for that cave to even be open for any visitors if it is that dangerous?
@@DD-vc7fq I believe they have since closed the cave ever since his death. But it was open up to that point.
John basically buried himself alive in what would become his tomb. That’s heavy shit.
Yeah 😭
That cave system will be haunted af now
He will be discovered after a few thousand years by a population in the future, I'm sure.
Ik it's hard to listen to
@labella Dior how!?
The fact that he said "I really want to get out of here" and they sealed him inside forever is terrifying
That’s incredibly terrifying... life has an extremely sick sense of irony sometimes
I literally could not watch the rest of the story it was giving me a panick attack. So did they just walk away and leave him or give him so drug to kill him faster? What a terrible situation.
FairMaid En good question ^
FairMaid En I was thinking the same thing. Administering a drug should have been an option, due to the tortured suffering. It doesn’t seem right to not get the. Body out of there.
@@katiephalen3483
IT wasnt worth the risk, and who was gonna get the body? They arent paid to retrieve corpses and the ones that do THAT job cant be afforded to risk getting that bloated corpse stuck in such a place without tearing the body to shreds. Only thing that could get to him are the insects, and they got him out, bit by bit until the cement closed kitchen for good.
I actually know John's family. They are absolutely incredible people. Hearing this story from the family was one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever experienced. RIP John, your family loves you dearly.
I knew the story of John Jones before, but every time I hear it it's just as horrifying.
I agree. Everytime I hear it I get anxious and feel like I can't breathe.
Totally chilling, every time!
The last one literally makes me cringe inside. That is one of my worst fears being stuck like that
Watch the movie about it.
It's called The last descent.
I'm right there with you. Tonight will be nightmares
Yeah that’s a nightmare!
Hammer Of Crom I agree, that one was wasaaaay to much for me! I literally could not watch to the end. I got to John sounding nasally and whoop! Nope can’t do this!!
Torturous, no doubt.
My great great grandfather always said “don’t go in caves unless you’re Batman” bless him.
Amen
Point made
Wait great great grandfather? So your grandfather's grandfather? When did batman exist
Cool.
@@evelynneclipse2069 well my aunt is a great grand mother and she is 45.
Those last ten seconds were like a big virtual hug 🤗 It was exactly what we needed after that last story. My heart goes out to all those who tragically lost their lives in the stories. Mr Ballen is the best storyteller ever. Bless your heart and bless your family 🥰
Seeing MrBallen with his baby at the end made me tear up a little. My adult kids just lost their father this week and it's through them that I found his channel.
I am really sorry for your lost. 🙏😔❤
I hope God will resurrect him. 🙏❤️
Jesus said about this:
Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment. (John 5: 28)
Also God promises in his word the Bible about the near future:
With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21: 3)
Very sorry for your loss! Hopefully time will heal you!
That nutty putty cave story is a total nightmare. Even the picture has me wondering WHO THE F would willingly go in such a tight space, gives me chills.
He was not prepared, ignored the, warnings, went in head first, didn’t have a map, it’s his fault he died, caving is safer than boxing in terms of death.
@@vibecountry I would rather let Mike Tyson box me down to death than suffocate down a cave for hours to death
@@vibecountry stfu
his body is still in the cave and its closed
Right?! Wtf
As soon as he said "extremely low tide" my stomach dropped. Living in Japan, I was always scared I would see that one day, and not have enough time to make it to safety
I live in the PNW of the USA. We too have been taught about the dangers of a sudden extreme low tide. You're at the coast, the water disappears..... you turn and RUN AWAY!!!!
Dude that sounds crazy I live where we get tornados and that's not nearly as scary as a huge wave splashing on you and crushing you
I'm from Croatia, so tornados and tsunamis aren't a serious danger to me, but we do have something even more terrifying...underwater caves
I've lived near the coast, Malmö. I've never experienced that, or been told so. Still, I know, if nature behaves odd - it's a sign of danger.
Like one story I was told by my former neighbour. She and her husband were out picking "molter" (Norwegian word, sweet wonderful berries that are exclusively found in or very near swamps) one day. A bit cloudy, but that's typical for autumn weather. Her husband decides to go to a different location, so they can pick berries more effectively. After about half an hour there is a sudden silence. The birds, everything, silent. And there is an odd feeling in the air. Something was very wrong. She wanted to go find her husband, but she couldn't leave either, in case he cam... and he did, just a few minutes later. He came running, and said, "WE HAVE TO LEAVE! NOW!".
They ran, with their berries, to their car, and got home safe. No spirits, not dark mysteries.
But the day after, they read in the local news papers that a man had been killed by a bear, not far from the area they were picking berries at.
If the forrest suddenly goes quiet - you are in danger.
If nature suddenly changes, if something really unusual or odd is happening in nature - BEAWARE.
Mine did too. I saw footage of the 2011 tsunami and it was terrifying, swallowing up swaths of land and sometimes people so fast. It gave me nightmares. Many lives changed or lost that day. And I did a bunch of research about tsunamis because that’s how I deal with anxieties, I learn as much as I can.
Of course, I live in the Midwest USA about as far away from an ocean as you can get, so unless I visit a beach, I only have to deal with tornados.
Ahhh. I wondered if you had the done Nutty Putty Cave story. A couple of my sons went into Nutty Putty with a good family friend just a couple of years prior to this incident and this really hit them hard when it happened. Absolutely terrifying, but luckily my kids didn't go that far in or do anything too risky.
I swear to god. The first story annoyed me SO MUCH
All of this could have been prevented
The guy could have lived
If those idiotic people actually had a brain
That is LITERALLY WHAT HAPPENED WITH HARAMBE
The gorilla was just watching the kid, and all people start freaking out and throwing things, and the gorilla gets mad and drags the kid away
Then everyone said it was harambe's fault
or the security's fault
I just hate people sometimes.
It 100% would have been prevented if the idiot never climbed over the fence. He is the only one to blame.
@@heidismith514 it still could’ve been prevented though? that’s the point, his fault or not he could’ve lived if the staff didn’t take their sweet time responding to such a dangerous event and if the bystanders didn’t rile up the tiger. doing something stupid doesn’t mean you deserve to die.
@@heidismith514 it’s a kid bro chill
@@astronova3508 the guy who went inside the tiger enclosure isnt a kid ,the kid was the one who fell into gorilla's enclosure
@@heidismith514 I'm glad you see that it is his fault, and they all made it worse so it's everyone's fault. that man shouldn't have jumped the fence, those people should have waited for the professionals and the professionals should have been faster or had contingencies in place. So very tragic but nothing can be done.
I can't even imagine what John's family felt when they ultimately had to go home from their trip but leave John stuck there dead in the cave. Those people's therapists would need a therapist after hearing about that it must have been a gut wrenching feeling.
Especially his wife who told him she was pregnant with their second child while she was talking to him for the last time. 💔
True but he was a bit of an idiot got climbing into a tiny hole when he is six foot but either way sad story
Goto yo be from US you guys are obsessed with therapist's
@@mattwroe4776 That's because the stupid education system likes to try and force "counselors" onto people at a young age and teach them to overall be absolute pussies and in time that turns into weekly therapist meetings for Rebecca because her Starbucks wasn't exactly how she wanted it.
@@towtruckaj maybe we wouldn't need counselors and therapy if we were actually allowed to be who we wanted to be and society didnt let everyone down
My uncle was in Thailand for that tsunami, luckily in a hotel up big hill. They slept through the tsunami, then puzzled at the strangely high tide. He was also in Japan during that big earthquake, and no-one will go on holiday with him any more.
I'm glad he's safe! I wouldn't go on holiday with him either 😅😛
Well, considering how he lived through both events unharmed, I'd totally go on a holiday with him! :)
The only reason why your uncle survived that tsunami because, he had the high elevation and ground.
Poor uncle. He's a loner now.
Hahaha
I went to Nutty Putty several times as a teenager. We were extremely naive and inexperienced. I never even saw a map of the cave. I moved from Utah and never heard about this until watching this video. I am extremely fortunate.
I’ve heard John’s story before, but there’s something about this iteration that just grabbed my heart and squeezed. The thought of what he went through is utterly terrifying. Leaving him there, I understand, but his family members must still be in gut-wrenching agony; I would be.
They didn't leave him there. After he died they painstakingly dragged him out of that tight space and then had to basically force his body through the cave, just to get him out.
People throwing rocks at Tigers: Dont worry We are helping!
Me Hearing this Story: "Thanos where are You bro?👁️👄👁️"
Bruh I was like what the hell did they think would happen the tiger just going to say oh my bad and walk away hell no if anything the people killed him not the tiger
I bet if they hadn’t done that the tiger wouldn’t have flipped
@@crowhold6715 exactly the only reason he or she did was because of the people
The people: Throwing rocks at the tiger will make it go away
The tiger: *MONCH*
The cave story gave me serious anxiety. Im claustrophobic, just hearing that made my heart race.
Same
I got the chills just him narrating it.
Same with me I hate listening to stuff like this
Im not claustrophobic and i still felt claustrophobic.
I'm not claustrophobic.
But I had nightmares for 2 nights
I've had your videos in my watch layer forever and I'm so glad I waited to binge them. So good.
This is one of the most terrifying stories I've heard so far. You are an excellent story teller, because I felt my chest get stuck as you described this scene.
If u cant walk in it, at least bent over, then it's not a cave it's a hole. Don't crawl in there!
Yup. If you gotta get on your hands and knees to go through an opening longer than 4 ft. you are crawling into a hole.
I love this comment. u savin people
Help stuck in hole
@@happysunfl0wer788 true, even though this should be common sense
But people tend to lack that, and a brain sometimes lol
I've crawled through some pretty scary catacombs in caves.
the guy probably would've been fine if the stupid people didnt throw rocks at the tiger

Totally love your work, your mom does a fantastic job researching. Well done to you both, and keep up the awesome work . Thank you so much 👍👍🇮🇪🇮🇪🙏
Your baby is sooo adorable and I love the giraffe jammies. Thank you for including that in this video. Who doesn't need a little baby footage in their lives to make it better? I know that made me smile.
Right I was looking for a comment regarding that
Okay? Indeed! 👶🏼Congrats, Ballen Fam! 🍼
the instant i can't stand up straight in a cave, i've gone too far in & it's time to turn around.
Hahaha that's funny 😁. I agree , not interested , anything but that
Hahaha yeah me too
True that chit
@@runningthunder6923 100%
The instant I make it to the entrance is the moment I’ve gone too far and turn around. 😂 I will NEVER go cave exploring.
Why would you throw rocks at a tiger when someone’s INSIDE THE CAGE
IKR they are making the tiger think he was hurting him
I think they wanted the tiger to turn around
Why would you ever throw rocks at a tiger it's just a bad idea 😅 even if there is a person in the cage or not.
We threw ice at the monkeys and they threw poo and hit our teacher.
IKR WTF??
Cute clip of your baby! Thank you for all of your great stories. I found you a few weeks ago and am hooked!
Buddy, every time I watch a video I keep a small amount of hope that there’s a sneak happy ending coming lol. How about a BallenTwist where you throw in a happy ending once in a while just to give us a sigh of relief lol. Either way, you’re awesome and so is the content. Glad I came across your channel.
That poor guy in the cave. I can’t even imagine. I literally just had a small panic attack listening to that story:( poor guy
Same, this is why I hate caves but I want to see what one looks like 😂😂
Same here
I'm not even claustraphobic, and I got so anxious. I'm gonna have nightmares.
I'm not trying to be mean don't get me wrong, RIP
But he went in head first and he went to an unfamiliar part of the cave if he would have gone in feet first he might have been able to be rescued
Claustrophobia in this scenario is the last thing that you would want to do
The worst part about John being stuck in the Nutty Putty cave is that because he was in med school he knew what was happening to his body as it happened. He understood he was going to drowned in his own fluids. He knew how long it would take and how it would hurt.
Before this happend I've been in these caves and understand how easily you can get lost and stuck. My friend and I did search and rescue and talked to the guys trying to get John out... he knew long before they were willing to admit that there was no way to undo what had been done. Its all so heartbreaking.
I’ve never been in a cave but will never after seeing this.
@@brittg9007 it may be scary, but it’s super safe if you’re prepared and educated on caving.
@@brittg9007 also there are some caves that you dont have to squeeze through. Just a pleasant walk.
Wait.... did you know him?
@@addy225 No I did not. I knew some of the search and rescue team.
Aw, now that end piece was absolutely beautiful! Makes my heart happy!💚💚💚
The bonus footage making me forget all the sadness I felt during the stories ❤ cute little squish!!
The cave one really broke me. I can’t imagine someone being in that situation and the pain, and fear they must have been feeling. I could barely take a normal breathe while listening
My Apple Watch reminded me to breathe like eight times 🥺😢
Stfu roblox kid
@@iibrents921
Who 😕
Same 😬
Why do it in the first place? I don’t see the point in crawling through caves.
“Got distracted by some small animal and ran after it and got fired by his employer”
That hits close to home
Sounds like my adhd
That made me laugh out loud
Lol yep I felt that
Lmao!!!
i like how he adds that fairytale element that makes some sort of moral sense of these stories. implying he deserved to be killed by tigers because he was a lil bit lazy.
Awww, the bonus footage was the best! 😍🥰
Whew Mr.Ballen, this is one of the most heart pounding stories I've heard from you. As you unfolded him going deeper I began to hold my breath and still was hoping for his getaway. It was like an Alfred Hitchcock movie when I was a child. You did a great job! W h e w
Everything about tight squeeze freaks me out and gives me anxiety just thinking about it
American Gadfly that story makes me queasy
Caves are actually pretty safe and most are not that tight. Jhon was unfortunately just unlucky.
@@crazymonkeygaming2229 ill have to take your word for it as im never checking for myself 😂 its the squeezing into a tunnel im never doing. Walking through a cave with clearly marked paths id do. Tourist shit
Same here I’ve heard that story before and I get nauseous,that’s gotta be the worst way to go
Good to know I'm not the only one. I went spelunking as a teen. This brought back flashbacks.
I’ll never understand people who go into these really tight spaces and thinking it’s a good idea. My heart started racing and I felt like I couldn’t breathe just listening to that last story. I could never!!!! Rip to that poor soul.
ya and he had a wife a child and another on the way... idk man i wouldnt be doing life risking things when i have a family to take care of and i think a lot of people can agree very foolish idea
They must find it thrilling, like skydiving or something. That could mean it’s only the dangerous sections that that make it fun for them.
I used to love the adrenaline rush from riding motorcycles on the edge of control. I knew it was dangerous, and I had to sell my motorcycle to quit when I became a father. I couldn’t bring myself to stay off the throttle.
Bro
Yes
Its just sad
Jesas godness...
i literally feel sick after watching it 😅
I'd say it's darwinism at play but he managed to reproduce beforehand so
The bonus clip was adorable! Its nice to see you with your family!
I'm really surprised that in the huge crowd on the beach in Thailand no one recognized the signs of a Tsunami. I remember reading about them on a standardized test as a child and committed them to memory, because you never know. I always thought this was fairly common knowledge. So sad so many people died for lack of that information.
Everybody knews....Everybody.
Definitely not common knowledge.
I'm not even sure why it seems to be so to you or to me, because "tsunami warning signs" isn't exactly a curriculum item in schools around here. You had that random reading comprehension passage; I read a ton in general, maybe some other people pick it up because others talk about it -- but if you don't know, you don't know. Certainly the fact that the Indian ocean is not prone to tsunamis and hadn't seen a major one anywhere in a very, very long time contributed.
I remember a story of one European girl somewhere in Thailand who did know, and warned her parents and the people around her, but her parents themselves had no idea.
Even now people who talk about it in comment sections like this don't necessarily know as much as they think they do. For instance that tsunamis aren't just one wave but many, and the first may not be the biggest; or that the water withdrawal doesn't always come first -- the wave might. So those people could hypothetically find themselves victim to a tsunami one day despite thinking they know what they're dealing with. Water recedes, let's go rescue people and see if our car is in one piece -- why are those stupid sirens still wailing?
No they don't
I only know, living in MICHIGAN is because it was reported at one tsunami that a child learned it in school and warned everyone
By wtf does a tsunami have to do with being stuck in a cave?
Tsunami: ayo run imma give u a head start
People: 👀 oooooooh 📷
At that time people was not aware of tsunami
@@naveenkishore2657 its a joke anyway?
@@naveenkishore2657 something flew above your head
@@naveenkishore2657 Well, they SHOULD have known there is something wrong. Especially those who lived there. It was human stupidity, causing their death. The same with other two person. They caused their own death. Can't feel sorry. Maybe in the case of the tsunami, I can give them some slack. But not much.
Shouldnt this be taught in prek if you live there? Shouldve been Living by the Ocean 101
The cave video still haunts me to this day. Such a tragic story. Also, what on earth is so intriguing about going into tight spaces underground?
If he didn’t go in head first he would of survived 100%
There's always an idiot
There is no a video of that
@@littlebugslug probably not. He’d have gone further without realising it was a dead end
Exactly. I hate tight spaces as well. I don't like going on packed Buses and Trains for crying out loud.
Sooo appreciate your downloads,
Especially the ones where there's not just a picture. Seeing the narrators face means a lot. Take Care o f Yourself & Your Family. 👍
You da Mang MrBallan!! Love your vids!!
Is it just me or can anyone else feel the anxiety and terror of that cave situation. Poor kid
YES IT TERRIFIES ME
Yes, and I am not even claustrophobic
OMG MCALLISTER 😳😳😳🤯🤯🤯 Edit: did he actually like my comment I know it’s prolly not the real McAllister but I literally watched all of the home alone movies so yeah that like from you still made my day tho I love the movies and I can relate to one of the movie scenes were the intruder stepped on that nail yeah I stepped on a nail when I was super young yeah (srry this is so long) (that’s what she said) (god dammit I need to grow up) thanks for liking my comment 😄😄
Kid? He was 26
How to survive this situation just don't go caving and don't make it a hobby
“Hey family let’s go cave diving!” Ugh, just go fishing man.
Weird..
Absolutely no one:
Them: "Let's go to a cold, lifeless, moist, mildew smelled, dark place that we once called "a home" and hated it to the point that we finally move out of it centuries ago and into houses and buildings for better living conditions?"
"Let's go there? Where it's cramped and uncomfortable?"
Also them: Sounds fun.. 😊
That was.... 😕 🤪
We have cave diving at home
That’s literally a family trip, our parents just want us to die unknowingly at this point
But not scuba diving! 😩
I know it's dumb but it only makes me want to go cave diving more
I've watched so many of these, that MrBallen is narrating my life in my head as if something strange, dark and, mysterious is going to happen to me at any moment😁💜
The way you tell these cave stories I get this visual in my head, and then you show pictures! My God I know it's horrible for the people that experience these events but it's almost as harrowing for me! Your a good story teller!
So sad why people lose their life because they dont use common sense is beyond me.... ;(
For real all these stories had that theme 😂👌
Because there's an award for it probably...
idk why they left his body there, like if he's dead get him out and give him a proper funeral ;-;
At least he could have some dignity then
All stupid mistakes, at least they don't pass down their stupid genes to the next generation.
@@hannahkamera829 they said it could take days to get his body out it's too much work but R.I.P to him tho
It’s crazy guys he actually responds on Instagram. Actually the most interactive RUclipsr
Omg bonus footage was awesome! ❤❤❤
I absolutely love your stories ... Lost of love from south African Cape town
I used to be an avid spelunker in my early 20's. Until I got stuck for a couple hours one day. I quit caving that day & never did it again! I got claustrophobic over that shit!
I hope you are ok that is so scary i cant Imagine how scared you must have felt
I would be so scared I would die of shock or fear before I suffocated
If I were get claustrophobic I will be in so much pain. I hate being in open spaces
@@Guidingsonar I can't tell if you're trolling or just dumb.
@@ZeddicusTheMage uhh, you do know I was meaning mentally in pain?
The story of the nutty putty cave literally makes me feel sick
I just can't imagine what's fun about crawling around in the dark , I keep thinking where's the fun part? That's a living nightmare to me. People actually do this....
@@webdapeeps9015 ong💀💀💀
Definitely one of the worst ways to go
Still to this day it makes me shiver and makes me not able to breathe. Even as a geo-gemologist hell no you couldn't pay me $$$$$ to climb into cave tunnels. Fuck that. Took me till my mid 20s to watch the Descent. Oof.
Yess!! I can't breathe or stay still just listening to it!!
Omg the bonus footage was awesome!!!!❤❤
I needed that bonus footage!!😊
I start feeling the panic creeping up on me just hearing him describe squeezing through that tight ass tunnel.
seriously. did fight or flight just never kick in?? i'd feel the first squeeze and 'nope' right out of there. i had to pause and walk away from my computer for a bit during that description. hoo boy.
Same. Even the pic gave me anxiety. People do that for fun? 😳
same
Lol Wait Till You're IN That Tunnel! It Was Definitely An Experience I'll Never Forget!!..
I would much rather be eaten by a tiger
I couldn't imagine the horror of being stuck like that. You would never catch me exploring a cave. Nope! Not gonna happen!!
Depends on the cave. If I can stand up, sure, let's check it out. If I have to crawl through a tiny tube of rock, hell no.
Bruh I don’t even go outside
I’m uncomfortable going into small bathrooms. No cave tunnels, or even just caves, for me.
A cave is one thing but spelunking is another, that’s a hell no, just like deep sea cave diving or mountain climbing.
SAMEEEEEEEEEE
Loving the bonus content at the end ❤❤❤
The spelunking horror and all such stories of people getting stuck in caves and chimneys and underwater tunnels and whatnot is the literal stuff of nightmares. Probably the most horrifying stories on here as far as I'm concerned. It makes me uneasy even listening to it...
The guy stuck upside down in the cave gives me nightmares. This has to be the worst way to die knowing rescue is right there but cant get you out. This poor guy and his family.
Mr ballen had stories of claustrophobia that are worse than this one.. It scares me
This traumatized me
Same here but I console myself in that it is 100% preventable. Stay the heck out of caves!!!!!!
Yeah, that story was ridiculously uncomfortable to sit through.
They is one About a boy, in a chimney, there is Stock, it is Even worse then this one!.. Young boy Stock for days and no ones knows where he is at and nobody Will Ever heer his Cry for Help... Is Willy Spooky to and claustroforpic
I went into Nutty Putty Cave years before this event ever happened. It was a pretty popular spot, honestly. To get into the main cavern, you have to army crawl on your stomach for about 15-20 feet. It was the most claustrophobic feeling I've ever had. The part where John got stuck was way back. I looked down in that direction when I was in there. You couldn't have paid me a million dollars to go further. My "don't go there" senses were screaming at me. How he pushed past that feeling I'll never know.
So if you hadn’t passed that feeling.. you would end up like john.... woah.
Your lucky and brave Rest In Peace John
I have had literal nightmares where I’m in a compressed tunnel and can’t freely move my limbs. I’m not claustrophobic but this just makes my lizard brain scream.
I’ll stay on the outside of rock formations thank you very much; I’ve trained the ‘stay away from heights’ part of my lizard brain to shut up. 🤣
I doubt I'd of even made it through that first army crawl you speak of! I also read that some years previous a rescue took place in the same, waist high, tunnel offshoot that John got stuck in (near Ed's push I think it's called), however this was a child/boy scout much smaller than John. What's worse is that John actually went 10ft further than where the child had gotten stuck...
Good thing you did not end up that way
❤❤ I just wanted to say thank you very much for your podcast and your videos that you put on RUclips. I love listening to them along with them and other videos that you put on as well. Thank you very much for enjoyable and entertaining videos to put on your page and love listening to them and seeing what you put on there everyday. Thank you for adding an enjoyable podcast. By the way, your baby is absolutely adorable even though I just saw videos of him/her today for the very first time.😅
I ended up forgetting one thing I wanted to say my dad just had bladder surgery cuz he had cancer in his bladder and it's been very enjoyable to listen to you and your videos the last few days. Thank you again for everything. We appreciate all you do. Thank you for your service as well! God bless you
I have been fascinated about the 3rd one since i first heard of it. i don't consider myself a claustrophobic person but this is all i seem to think about now. it has really shaken me to my core. I would never go into a cave now. saw a Instagram reel about a guy stuck in a pipe and it freaked me out. I feel like i would panic and have a heart attack in this situation.
I don't get why John didn't have the same reaction his brother did when it started getting tight. His brother said no way and backed out. Why would anyone just keep slithering.. exhaling.. dragging themselves... I just can't wrap my head around it. I would maybe"crawl" into a cave.. but slither?? There's no way. Think about how uncomfortable he had to be dragging himself further and further... For some reason... He just really wanted to be able to say he made it through the birth canal... Just doesn't make sense. I feel bad for everyone involved.
Clostaphobia is more debilitating than ANY I MEAN ANY condition ... I have severe anxiety and PTSD from pretty traumatic car crashes and rendered 100%disabled from it but I'd rather have 10 anxiety attacks than be stuck in a cave or tight space...as an on site manager I was unable to clean, oil, and maintain equipment and ect because of my fear of tight enclosed spaces
Hate to break it to you, but sounds like you’re pretty claustrophobic. Don’t worry, so am I.
@@amy6382 You can't compare him to his brother, because John's brother had the giant red flag of "John has just got stuck in this passage up ahead!". His brother had a screaming warning about the passage already. However, wondering why John kept going is reasonable on it's own.
remember paria diving tragedy
That spelunking one is terrifying to me. That is my actual real only phobia, crawling into something that I get stuck in, and can't get out. I"m not claustrophobic, it is all about getting stuck in something exactly like this, not being in a confined area, or in the dark, but stuck. This is why I have never gone spelunking.
This is not phobia it is logical. I am 200 pounds and a little over 6 foot tall if I can't fit my shoulders in I am not going that looks like he had his shoulders and ribs caught on the tunnel in the cave system
God its so terrifying. Just listening to the story freaks me out. I mean the fact that, that cave had sections that weren't explored and that hole wasn't covered up to begin with is just so bad. And the fact that it was so easily mistaken for another more famous track is just so bad. Why wasn't there like labelling or something!? God its so scary.
imkluu same
I feel like can't breathe just hearing this
Phobia of getting stuck is called cleithrophobia - I’ve got it too :/
I love how he evenly paces himself, totally present in whatever part of the story he is currently telling. Theres no trickiness trying to create suspense, he totally inhabits each scene as if it's the most important one. Excellent story telling skills.
Absolutely right. He has a real talent for telling a story. Notice that he includes all the right details needed to fuel the listener's imagination, but not too many. When he described John's ribs getting stuck on the far side of the lip, I cringed, physically.
He is a legendary storyteller. You can listen to his voice for hours on end and never feeling slightly annoyed by him talking to much.
@@PennPearson me too. I literally breathed in when he said it 🙁horrifying sad story
@@jt8162 for sure its 12.30am I'm still listening 😬
True, very good. I've listened to many of his, stories and never get irritated by his voice or story telling
U know something is about to go down when Mr. Ballen gives u the full date in his stories.
Johns story has always haunted me. After hearing it the first time I have refused to even fiddle with the idea of going caving. I tend to think about johns death everytime Im in some sort of claustrophobic situation, extremely unsettling way to die. Sometimes I wish I had never heard it but I’m also glad I did.
I know that man is an Idiot for jumping into a Tiger inclosure, but everyone else harassed the Tiger into attacking him, I know they were worried but If he isn’t attacking don’t do anything.
I know and that is because if You Get attacked by a tiger You die quick but if You Get stuck in a cave You have to starve to death and it would be a long death. But rest in peace every one in this video.
and the sheer stupidity of the guy climbing over the rails in the first place.
I have seen that footage, it was in India and the people were trying to save him (the only way they knew) as the Tiger got more and more interested in the intruder.
The tiger look like he just want a human friend those people are comeplete idiot's
@@Demo_spirit54 ..no 🤦🏻♀️ lol tigers do not want human friends. Thats probably what the idiot that got into the enclosure thought.. and look what happened to him.
In relation to the Tiger and Cave stories, I quote Abraham Lincoln: "Common sense is not very common."
Yup!
Lets crawl head first down into a cave weve never seen before at 8 o'clock at night!!!
2 gold plated Darwin Award winners for sure. I have a hard time mustering much more than fake sympathy for such people who do such things.
He missed to mention that person was mentally ill who jump into Tiger Cage.... Sometimes this RUclips people do that just be more dramatic 😂
Even the tsunami one connects to this quote lol.
Great stories as always, thank you
The Nutty Putty Cave death might be the worst way to go I have ever heard. I had heard that story multiple times before and everytime I do I can't help but imagine how unbelievably awful that must have been. And it's made worse if you Google an imagine of the cave system and where and how he got stuck. Have goosebumps just by typing this.
Also, keep up the great work Mrballen. You are the man!
So glad I finally found you covering the Nutty Putty caving incident. This story gives me anxiety like no other. John was literally crawling deeper into his own tomb.
I went to college not terribly far from Nutty Putty, back before it closed the first time. I had friends who jokingly suggested going spelunking in it on a lark, and I adamantly refused. It wasn't until years later that I learned it had been closed down the year I graduated due to people getting stuck, and then later reopened just months before John got stuck. This story gives me anxiety too.
The cave story was terrible to listen to
I can not get it out of my mind, the fact that you tell the story so well I felt like I was the one trapped in this cave!!
Of ALL of the Mr Ballen Videos I've seen and of All of the horrid accounts of death I've heard or have seen ,the Tragedy of John Jones is by far the saddest . I have seen other Accounts of this Awful Tragedy and I feel worse seeing This Account . That poor Guy,trapped ,terrified, and hopeless especially towards the end . Hopefully, the poor Young Man slipped into unconsciousness before the terrible pain and anguish set in . Please do not think that I am some terrible Monster for hoping this. Were I in that same situation - Being young,fit and strong yet even this not being of any help . Being alone and terrified as Body Systems succumb to the unrelenting crushing as Death slowly arrives . Alone and trapped within the wretched Darkness, with no hope of rescue despite everyone's best ,most Heroic Efforts ,I would want to mercifully go unconscious before the extreme pain and sorrow of dying in this manner comes to meet me . Rest in Peace John Jones .
Same it game me a heart attack basically
love the bonus content xo
I love the bonus content with your kid! Proud dad!
John Jones' story, no matter how many times I hear it breaks my heart. I couldn't even imagine.
😞
It’s awful, but at least he wasn’t alone
It Was Definitely a Place Where Everyone I Went with Said: Man I Can See Dyin In This MF Today!?..But Young & Dumb Right!..
Same, it's so disturbing and sad i can't imagine how John felt in his final moments, and also what his family felt after that
"Christmas" "2004" and "Thailand" automatically make me know what the 2nd story's about. I was only 12 then and I remember our teachers showing us the utter devastation.
I was at work when the news hit the radio. The girls in the other office came over to listen and we were in shock, absolute shock and the death toll continued to rise. We all knew someone who had ben, planned on going, or was currently on holiday in Thailand. Thankfully no one any of us knew was in that area at that time. Matt Damon's film did it justice, though not necessarily about the tsunami, but rather about The Hireafter
The tight squeeze has utterly freaked me out. I kept squirming and taking deep gulps of air while I was listening. A nightmare.
the worst part about john jones' story is he was a med student - he probably knew exactly what was happening to his body being upside down for that long.
Yep
the worst part, is that he had a wife and baby at home, that child will grow up without a father.
That's the worst part?! No. That's NOT the worst part. The worst part is that he DIED. He left behind a wife, kids, loved ones. Not that he was a med student. What kind of response was that? How about deleting it because you're a tool.
@@Cityhallfreak Obviously his death was the worst part but the fact be probably knew exactly what was happening and that he'd probably died from it while he was alive is definitely a worse part of his story. The person who wrote the comment isn't a tool.
@@scottjondansteve9343 Well no shit, but I think they're more focusing on how terrifying it was for John because he was aware of his fate. That had the most psychological impact on John in this scenario, is what they are implying.
im a fan of the strange dark and mysterious in video format. yall know where i can find someone who posts 3, 4 or even 5 times a week ?
I think I know a guy
😂😂😂🤷🏻♀️
✨I know a guy who knows a guy!😬😁
MrBallen I already memorized the intro. I say it everytime 😂
😂
It was this video that made obsessed with mr ballen. Iv now gone on to get my son hooked. We watch on the big tv 😀
Congratulations, Mr. Ballen!!!!
Dude, I appreciate that you always put up the metric conversion when you talk about miles and feet. I'm American, too, and it embarrasses me how little effort we make to communicate with other cultures. I also haven't heard you mispronounce any words in other languages. Thank you for representing us well.
I'm from a country where metric system is used and those conversions are really helpful
The metric system isn't culture based smh....People try so hard to be woke nowadays it's cringe as fuck.
@@Subxenox15 was it if not culturally based? And if you think it's "cringe" to try to communicate with the rest of the world on their terms that says more about you and your intolerant, entitled attitude than it does anyone else.
@@rome8180 You're using the metric system to try and get internet brownie points dude...You're showing how ignorant you are by thinking metric is some crazy sub saharan african voodoo...We use metric in SCHOOL dude...We use imperial AND metric in the U.S.
@@rome8180 do you think there’s some whiner in a metric country complaining about they don’t communicate with Americans on American terms?
God, Americans are so arrogant
Why didn’t he just get a job at the zoo???......
zubair because they don’t have the job he could’ve applied for at the zoo to get one. 😂😂😂😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
Zoo jobs are crazy competitive in the USA and you need degrees in biology, they are very hard jobs to get generally to be main keepers but their is always labor involved like cleaning up poop etc
He did get a job; feeding the tigers.
