![Chino Pacas - Modo Capone (with Drake & Fuerza Regida) [Video Oficial]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/zjv8TQ0gBkg/mqdefault.jpg)
It’s at 15:57 monster inc guy on your top button
Well done!
Its Mike Wazowski!!! Good eye!!!
Ha, I finally saw one. Great catch
U must have eyes like a hawk. Well done
How in the world did you see that?? Wow!
Wow... Mr Ballen’s stories don’t usually end well for dudes like Chris.
You're absolutely right! GREAT story, unexpected ending!!
Mr. Ballens stories usually don’t end well for anybody 😂
Why do you have so many thumbs?
@@user-kk6ht1id5e true
Frfr
Poor Chris. I'm so glad he's ok
Everyone should watch the documentary about this story, Last Breath. It's on Netflix (in the US)
@@timwentz4913 thanks I will definitely check it out
I didn't expect the story to end that way at all.
damn some of my fav RUclipsrs all in one place
Yoooooooooo. I didn’t know you watched me.ballen. Sub here.
I was really stoked that Chris survived in the last story. People rarely make it out of a MrBallen story alive 👏👍🎉
Anytime he has spoken about a diver, someone has died. As soon as Ballen mentioned that Chris resuscitated, I just gasped! I was waiting to hear the tragic "d" word (deceased) and instead heard about a miraculous survival.
Yes, a Mr. Ballen story is a dangerous place to be.
This video had 2 stories where the person survived! I was amazed lol
This has to be the first one 😆
I immediately lost my Sympathy for him upon hearing that he went right back to doing the Same Job. 😠
Chris's story made me feel so anxious, but hearing that he survived and there's a happy ending made me so relieved.
she got the same amount of time other people get for carrying a weapon so no, not a happy ending
@@scsorluv Chris was the last story. Mike was the one with no justice.
@@scsorluv agreed but that isn't the story he is referring to.
he is talking about the last one with the ocean
Yeah he got the names messed up but the one with the dive bell made me get out of bed with fear like I was in the dark abyss with him with thinking of my line snapping and being left behind omg I was all fucked up about it I needed a cigarette I love the ocean and ocean mystery and the wonder of possible monsters like nessi or megalodones and krakens but that one place I don't want to explore without 100% safety like imagine your alone looking for treasure then a family of island size whales then try to pass sees you and investigate you and your just there with casual water gear I would immediately have a heart attack then they talk ( I bet ya making a whale noise) that shit a hurt our ear drum
“He didn’t intend to launch a dummy off the building”
Yes, yes he did.
Lol
BAHAHAHA Amara you fucking legend!! I haven't laughed that hard in ages, thank you!
OH. that. was. good.
took me a few seconds
Most underrated comment ever lol
chris was just blessed to have good friends who wouldn’t leave without atleast retrieving his body.
And how about the captain who rebooted the ship, something you "just don't do"? That risk paid off!
And they didn't so quickly as if they still had hope. Maybe very little but at least they tried.
Not to mention the mouth to mouth, kissing the homies pays off ig
Freaking awesome 😎
I'd say he was lucky to be working with true professionals, fuck friends lol. I can tell you that there were people in the Army I *hated* with a passion. But a situation purely does not exist where I'd have left them behind, risk to my own life not being a considered factor. Friends will leave you behind and say nice things at your funeral. 🤷♂️
The fact that everyone still went back & his friend still gave him cpr knowing he was already dead is #friendshipgoals
He is alive
@@lunamoonwill6955 Yes, but the point is they must have truly believed he was dead when they tried to revive him anyway. And that's why they were so shocked when it actually worked.
Couldn't ask to have a better friend than that 💯❤️
That's why you should always try.
ikr. all the things they did as a team! whether its small or big (some untold things as well!) if they had missed one action, Chris wouldnt be alive right now. its so amazing.
First of all, Dave is an absolute legend and fearless hero. His only fear was losing his friend. Leapt back into darkness, climbed the structure, grabbed Chris, pulled himself and his buddy back, then proceeded to will him back to life even though it should have been too late. Second, Chris is an absolute legend and fearless fighter. He did literally the impossible, facing impossible odds, and did it anyways. Then woke up alive again, and proceeded to go back to work like dying once was just a minor inconvenience. Lastly, that captain is a legend and a leader. God bless.
There was a great documentary about this I saw on Netflix a little while ago you should check out. Dave wasn't really friends with Chris, he mostly just went back as a sense of duty. Still a tough ass dude, nonetheless!
I remember this documentary of this same thing happening. At the very end I remember the radio telling Chris " dont go and die on us again"
Well said
what a crew
Chris's wife ; " So, how has work been honey?"
Chris ; "Well, everything has been great. I died a couple of days ago, but I'm back at work now!"
Poor Mike, he didn't turn the lights on because he didn't want to wake up his wife, it really seemed like he loved her. And the woman not only destroyed his business, she tried to kill him in his sleep too, crazy how heartless some people can be
woman moment
and only got out a year later
That's what's a difference between men and women
Not even just in his sleep, but while they were getting ready and during the car ride
@@Phoenixhartley the law is the simp king
She shot him in the head, trying to kill him. Gets out after 1 year?! How's that justice?!
And feminists cry about "male privilege".
that's crazy
Because vagina.
@@Violetbunnyfish As a woman, I'm sure everyone knows that women are punished far less severely than men in court
@@Violetbunnyfish One correction. 'Criminal haters', not 'women haters'. Maybe once you grow up a little you'll understand why it's okay to hate on murder attemptees. Till then, eat your veggies
Chris’ story actually makes a lot of sense. When my grandpa had a heart attack and died and was without oxygen until he was found at least 15 minutes later, the hospital intentionally induced hypothermia because it not only slows, but actually somewhat repairs damage to the brain caused by oxygen deprivation. If you’re going to die, doing it somewhere incredibly cold buys you more time to be revived. That’s why victims who drown in very cold lakes have a higher survival rate than people drowning in the average body of water.
I’m not a doctor so I don’t actually understand *how* hypothermia slows the death of the brain from oxygen deprivation but it’s pretty cool.
The most incredible thing about his story is that they didn’t give up. The captain even rebooted the entire ship, risking them all, at just the shot to recover his body. They had no way of knowing that they were actually going to get him back, but they took a chance. Imagine how many people would’ve just left him, or recovered his body and not attempted CPR just assuming that there’s no way anyone could survive that long without oxygen. Everything had to happen just right for him to be recovered and revived. I imagine he probably feels like he has a new lease on life because he was obviously meant to live.
What pisses me off is he went back to do that dangerous shit
@@alfonsoperez8535 someone has to and it pays vey well
"Chris’ story actually makes a lot of sense. When my grandpa had a heart attack and died and was without oxygen until he was found at least 15 minutes later, the hospital intentionally induced hypothermia because it not only slows, but actually somewhat repairs damage to the brain caused by oxygen deprivation". THIS. This is a scientific fact.
yeah, but no. you don't repair brain damage, if its broke its broke.
Freezing temperature prevents damage by massively slowing down the process where cells starts to die.
Also.
"The captain even rebooted the entire ship, risking them all." you apparently don't know ships and how they work. that ship was never in any danger, neither was the divers in the bell, rebooted the entire ship lmao, electrical systems yeah sure. but there are other mechanical systems in place that are redundant and they will take over when the ship has no power.
The Captain just did what was right, he retrieved his crew, dead or alive.
dang that's so interesting!!!
Chris’s story is absolutely incredible! His colleagues are super heroes to try to retrieve & revive him like that, when most would simply give up. More survival against all odds stories, please!!!
Props to that diver who decided to administer mouth-to-mouth to Chris, even though they thought he was already gone! What an amazing story! Thanks for posting, Mr. Ballen! 👍🏻😊
I was thinking the same thing, without medical training it might not be your first instinct expecially after a traumatic event with a blue and very dead looking man in front of you. That definitely suprised me in a good way!! Absolutely amazing instincts.
They were clearly good friends. There was no way they weren't going to atleast try. Reminds me of the Thoros of Myr and Beric Dondarrion from Game of Thrones, Thoros thought his buddy was dead and just happened to reccesitate him.
@@gfdereus8967 Men do what a man has to do
@@A_Black_Sheep94 anyone would do that
@@gfdereus8967 EVERYONE who works for the oil industry has to pass a basic emergency trauma course, including CPR. I took them up in Alaska, and they still use the compression pants for lower body trauma injuries to prevent bleed outs (Some areas of Alaska are still rural enough that it'll be a couple hours flight to get to a trauma hospital). I was a glorified receptionist with security duties, and worked inside the city, and I still had to certify as an Emergency Trauma Tech with the state. The dude would have had at least basic training on what to do if someone isn't breathing. It's also mentioned in the video I watched about this particular story (before Mr. Ballen covered it) that the diver who went to get his body, and who gave him rescue breaths was a close friend of his.
Wow. That ship captain and crew are hero’s. They were trained well and acted with honor. They could have just assumed he was dead and abandoned the position but lucky for Chris, they kept searching. I bet the knowledge of his badass crew gave him the confidence to dive again.
True LEGENDS!
Its a very happy ending for a crew that did everything right. Even launching the drone sub was brilliant and quick thinking from part of the crew to assist in the search. But even despite all of the right decisions it almost ended in tragedy just shows how hazardous the job is.. I like to think the universe saw how hard everyone was trying and doing the right thing and decided to give them all a break.
@@futureemp3084 I have absolutely no experience in this, but I kind of wanna write a spec script of that movie. If done properly, it could be super suspenseful and scary, but everyone goes home happy at the end. Like Gravity meets Apollo 13 meets the Abyss.
@@BlyGuy right the idea of Chris running out of air in the pitch black of the freezing cold ocean triggers almost all of my worst fears.
it’s either continuing the search or be prosecuted for abandoning him…better a fruitless search than a trip to jail
“Chris was alive”
Me: OH MY GOD yes I’m so happy
“He went back to diving-“ (shows pictures of him diving again)
Me: THAT BEAUTIFUL IDIOT
When god spits in his eye Chris spits back.. damn.
Well, someone has to do this type of job anyways. Besides, it is well payed.
*RUclips comments*
bruh...FACTS
I wonder if him being without oxygen under immense pressure somehow stopped him from becoming brain damaged or brain dead. It's almost like without oxygen in that intense pressure his body just went into sleep mode and then the second he got oxygen again it restarted back up. What we know is a drop what we don't know is an infinite ocean. We know almost nothing about how the human body reacts under immense pressure like that. All we know is that humans can survive under that pressure and slowly acclimate back to normal pressure without causing any damage to the body. That's literally it. But we don't know for sure what really happens to the human body when it loses oxygen for 20 minutes under that immense pressure. Or how the body would react to being injured under that immense pressure. Maybe because he was under such pressure and in such cold water it slowed his heartbeat so much that he was able to survive without his heart stopping so his brain was getting just enough blood and oxygen to not be damaged. There's another true story of a woman whose car broke down and she had to walk really far away in a snowstorm and passed out at these people's front lawn and they thought she was dead because she was totally frozen but she was thawed out at the hospital and woke up with no permanent injuries.
The first one made me sad. A lot of great inventions were made because the inventors/engineers had the courage to try out the concept for the first time and some died trying and paved the way for improvements that would lead to a working invention so I can't help but admire Franz's courage.
It's not courage. It's stupidity.
Damn that guy Chris went back to sat diving after that. He's got the balls of steel.
Balls of steel act as ballast at that depth
It was his profession after all, Probably the only thing that paid his bills
The guy definitely does not need a weight belt.
Now Chris was an idiot because he allowed for the slack to be made and he wasn't paying attention to it and allowed for it to accidentally get caught
@@XxDatBoyFly1xX - Maybe. Making 350k+ a year is a lot of money. I'm sure he has some saved up, he could work somewhere else and still be fine. Especially with his mechanical aptitude
Those divers and ship crew are absolutely amazing to never give up on trying to save Chris, incredible!
I’m so used to the ending being a revelation about some new horrible way to die that I hadn’t considered before.
It was awesome to have a happy ending to spice things up.
Hey calm down bud some of us don’t like spoilers
I completely agree with you on that! I just could not believe he survived after that long!! 😲😲
There’s a doc about the dive accident on Netflix called ‘Last Breath’. Incredible story.
@@thedieselguy4733 If you don't like spoilers, avoid the comment section of any video until you finish the video. That's what I do.
Was looking for this comment, agreed for sure
I bet Franz would be amazed to know that Wing suits are a thing today and very close to his idea if not design.
I was thinking that. He was not so far off!!
But I think you use wingsuits in conjunction with a parachute. Ive never seen a wingsuit video where they actually landed with the wingsuit. They always fire the parachute for that.
Yeah you can't land with a wing suit, so not exactly what he was going for.
Ya lets just say he was on the cutting edge....which he fell off @zombiechicken7114
A year?! That lady got a year for shooting someone in the head?!
Justice system moment for sure
Justice fail system
White privilege
@Slade Hoodlum part of white privilege is pretending it doesn’t exist
@TiddyBlaster so I need more then being her son and being there while he tortured her but this dude van put what ever he wants and it's facts lol no even close
This episode was a bit refreshing. Only 1 death and that last story seemed like those divers had a great captain and crew.
There’s a documentary on this on Netflix called “last breath”, very good documentary with all the divers involved
yeah i like when they dont die honestly
@@Dkuzzi I was just going to reply that this would make an awesome movie some day! Ok, documentary... but still! lol
For real. That last story I thought was gunna leave me not in the mood for anything cool or fun for the rest of the night. Which this isn't exactly something ID chose to wait he when I had plans to do something fun. But this came on automatically and I couldn't help get drawn in. Thank god it ended pleasent.
@@Dkuzzi ive seen this twice, even though i knew what happened the second time its still insanely intense
I'm so happy Chris was ok, they saved his life by not leaving him down there. That must feel really good to know you saved someone's life like that
Saving someone's life doesn't "feel good" you feel extream relief then after the adrenaline and thank yous your left to think over all the mistakes you could've made. You think a lot about death and its finality. At least for me, it's never made me "feel good" like an accomplishment does. Just allows a little less panic when the death of a loved one is staring you in the face The next time
@@Jacksonluv81 Well I’m sure some people feel good. It’s understandable if you don’t, but it’s not a factual thing
Thank you for spoiling the entire story
@@evandias4433 You literally dived head first into comments realistically knowing that they're going to be talking about the video. What the heck else would they talk about in the comments? You spoiled the entire story by yourself. Don't read comments until you're done with a video.
@@Incompetences exactly 💀
Strangely enough, the last story here might be the most positive, even 'heartwarming' one in this series. It's honestly more incredible and inspiring than it is 'disturbing'.
The photo is what's disturbing
Mike didn’t want to turn the lights on and wake his wife...when in fact she tried to permanently turn his lights out
"Damn, she'll kill me if I wake her up. Better not turn the lights on."
how they take bullet out of it so easy?
That's what everyone would do...shot the spouse so they can't find out your finance mistake.
Gotta love how she only spent a year behind bars! #Justice 😂😂😂 what a joke
The judicial system is bs this case is an example. Getting a plea deal on attempted murder bs.
I literally teared up when he said Chris came back to life. Complete shock and awe.
There is a great documentary that goes into detail about this. It is told much better.
Same here, so much tragedy on this subscription, I like it when there's good news!
@@hollystiener16 do you happen to know what its called?
@@bpulley1 last breath
I've never heard this story before but seeing it wonder if it was the cold that saved him
I’m so happy Chris survived🥺 I love stories like this with such a happy ending💗
Same here! 😃. It's a rarity for this channel to have a happy ending!
@@dudeman5300 I never mentioned anything about that. Was just happy he survived. I’m allowed to be happy the guy lived.
I'm happy when a story that begins with Florida man and has a happy ending.
Chris is a Chad for surviving for so long and his friend is a flipping hero for providing CPR no matter how bad the odds were.
You almost chad me there for a flippin second.
Honestly, the only thing that makes any kind of sense is that the combination of cold and pressure somehow helped him survive. But that's the biggest fluke possible to somehow survive that
There's a saying in emergency medicine: You aren't dead until you're warm and dead. The fact that Chris's body was rapidly cooled is what protected his brain and ultimately saved his life.
As an EMR, this is true. You can't pronounce a drowning victim or hypothermic victim dead unless they're warm and have been warm for a while and you are unable to resuscitate them. If the victim is breathing (respirations) but has no pulse, don't pronounce them dead! If they have a pulse but aren't breathing, don't pronounce them dead until that heart and respiration rate ends!
@@sons_of_durin3329 how can someone be breathing, but also have no pulse? I’m truly curious. I understand that people can stop breathing, but still have a pulse. The latter though really confuses me.
@@vholt1000 In this case, the breathing would be agonal, meaning it's more like gasps than breaths. It's the body's natural response in trying to get an adequate amount of oxygen, yet without the proper blood flow, the body begins to shut down.
That's what I was thinking but, I'm not trained. I'm so glad he's okay ❣️
@@sons_of_durin3329 ok interesting. Thanks for the clarification! 👍
Holy shit that last scene where it's revealed Chris LIVED literally had me look away from my drawing shouting "WHAT THE FUCK???"
Same. He's the luckiest bastard who ever lived. He should have bought a lottery ticket after he came round.
mate the documentary is INCREDIBLE. I think @mrballen linked it. Until the last moment you're sure he's gone and THEN the guy is ALIVE!!! absolutely nuts, absolutely recommended.
It had me smiling so hard haha I was so happy!
@Mitch Hart any one can under the right conditions, especially if you are not moving or already unconscious
Omg, you're also drawing while listening to him!?
Omg, so glad that Chris dude lived , thought for sure he dead, thank God his buds didn't give up on him
Yeah, that was glorious.
I’m surprised too
Dude...he went BACK to that job too. Like wow. Not only did he almost die, he almost was never found had he not found the platform to climb up on.
An amazing miracle that he lived and fully recovered. Surprising he didn't quite. And I am surprised Chris, as well as Duncan and Dave are still working there. May they stay safe.
The get paid really well and I doubt they would leave, it is an amazing story.

Oh shit this made me laugh my ass off. Poor guy though that must’ve been fucking terrifying. I imagine it was just a second or two but watching the ground, as you plummet towards it, that’s an experience I would only wish on the worst of humankind.
@@AshPlaysHorror He didn't really deserve death, obviously, but at the same time I'm sure that he wouldn't mind some people having a small chuckle at the circumstances of his death. At least I know I wouldn't mind
I really love that story that the diver Chris survived. I wasn't expecting that what an amazing story to tell. So terrifying though, I don't know how he has the courage to keep diving.
I just started this story and am shocked, that's one crazy job to want to do for a living. Glad he survived.
$50k a month makes men very brave
@@brandonzzz9924 yeah I looked it up you're right it's about that much.
As an older guy, this channel takes me back a bit. The channel is the perfect mix old school mystery theater (radio) , the intrigue of old art bell coast to coast stories minus all the boring crap and just enough of a pinch of unsolved mysteries. Perfect for the modern short attention span.
I CANNOT AGREE MORE! I myself have a very short attention span so I like for things too starting in very quickly. I have a hard time watching a series on television or Netflix because I want to hurry up and get to the end so I can find out what happened! 🤣🙄🤦🏼♀️ That's why I just prefer to watch movies 😊
I'm with ya.. AWESOME 👌..✌ Old G
The doggo in the pic looks like a very good boiiiiii
The only mystery radio I remember is Guy Noir but I used to love it as a kid though I'm sure most of it went straight over my head.
That last story was anxiety inducing as hell. I'm glad Chris survived and that his team didn't give up on him. I'm thinking the cold ocean coupled with the gases inside kept him alive. It's quite remarkable how we as humans can sometimes defy all odds. Awesome story for sure!
Honestly. The last story. I've been listening to so many scary true stories over the past ten years but this one was definitely the most stressful so far. I am so glad Chris survived.
The whole time, I was like, Oh no, oh no, oh no....but finding out Chris was just fine,I actually yelled OH YES!!!!! I love happy endings :)
When Mr. Ballen says he’s going to show a photo/video that is famously associated with the story it’s like the school teacher saying we are going to watch a movie today
I know right 😂😂
That is so true! 😂 That is absolutely be perfect way to describe the feeling that I get!! 🤪💯😂
Gigglesnort. True
Ohh shit ur right!!! Haha so long I forgot. Thanks kiddo
The excitement is unreal

hahaha glad we could get it In!!!!!
I love the people survived stories.
I'm so glad that there's some stories where people actually live. His stories of ultimate survival are amazing.
I actually felt so relieved and happy that Chris survived and even after all that he went back to diving, mad respect
Finally, A saturation diving story that doesn’t end in tragedy.
Spoiler!!^^
Netflix has a special about it
@@MydieLy don't read comments and nothing will be spoiled

@@MydieLy just watch the vid first then
You don't know the relief and happiness that came over me the second you said Chris came back alive. Amazing!
Mr ballen really should have a Netflix series by now
Yes
@@buffhelpy947 Ay we have the same name
Agreed
Aye Connor gang where you at
Facts
Gotta say, hearing "Chris came back to life!" with that gentle, hopeful music cue in the background... I cried a lil bit. So nice to hear one of these that ends well!
Same. That story is so blessed.
As a former Army diver, Chris' story really got to me. I never sat dove, but I went on a few surface supply deep dives. I couldn't think of a worse thing than what he went through. So glad he made it!
Netflix Last Breath, you must see it.
Franz: *breaks his legs jumping from his apartment building*
Franz: I'm sure this will go better if I jump from a much higher height.
Narrator: It did not go better.
Franz was a complete idiot. He broke his leg jumping off his roof, yet expected a completely different outcome jumping from the Eiffel tower! That's just insane!
@@samanthafairweather9186 Tbf he did tweak the design
@@StanbyMode but it didn't exactly help!!
@@samanthafairweather9186 It's funny because even though Franz was an idiot for risk his life for something that (1) wasn't worth it and (2) lacked the data to predict a favorable outcome, he apparently understood aerodynamics better than you do; a parachute needs time to be able to deploy (time that is obtained with the distance to the ground, the height), to think that they behave (or should behave) in the same way regardless of the height from which they are launched is to ignore the most basic of their fundamentals and I ask you not to try to prove otherwise by taking a modern parachute completely functional to throw yourself from the roof of your home.
@Norbert women have a higher life expectancy than men because men tend to be fucking stupid and do shit that women know not to do. And don't give me that garbage about men doing more dangerous jobs and research and inventing because they're supposedly tougher. Women have historically been prevented from doing many of those things BY MEN, to such a great extent that, for example, women were only allowed to join the US infantry less than twenty years ago. It's hard for women to break into certain industries and have their research and inventions taken seriously because of piece of shit men, like yourself, who hate them, for no fucking reason.
That last one is probably the most intense story he’s told yet
Agreed! I was so happy to hear he survived. I was like, no way. Totally unexpected.
BIG smile when it said the guy gasp for air.
Can't wait now & I'm only a couple minutes in 🤘👁
I was an insurance investigator for 47 years & I handled deep diving claims. No one would believe the stories I told about deep diving. Maybe now they will listen. It has got to be the most dangerous job job the planet.
There’s a brilliant documentary about it, I think it’s on Netflix
The deep ocean is the scariest thing on this planet. I could never imagine myself working a job that requires me to dive 300+ feet into the abyss. The people who do this have major cojones.
Yeah, my dad is a master diver of 40 yrs and now a level one certified free diver and I still get paranoid about it... Esp bc he is 69 yrs old!
Ever been underwater CAVING???
I don't mind caving... AND I don't have a problem with the water or depth...
I AIN'T GOING into a cave underwater... ;o)
Maybe the cojones as so big the owners of the tumescent testies think they will help their buoyancy
I've worked in enclosed spaces for 18 years. You have to trust your coworkers alot. Not the same thing as working underwater but doing majors repairs in some emptied acid pipes/ chemical vats that can go off if don't controlled correctly. The worst job I've done was at a copper refining plan.24 inches pipes diameter pipes inspection. 200 feets long. If someone opened the wrong valves, you get a shower of 450F sulfuric acid. We can ear the acid coming in the pipes that were next to the one we have to check. Each times we asked ourselves if they turned the wrong one on. Each one of thoses pipes took 9 hours to check properly. You can't absolutely be claustrophobic and you have to keep your composure. Panicking is not an option.
my ears would implode way before reaching 300+ feets
As a commercial diver, I appreciate how well you explained saturation diving! 👌
as far as I know, MrBallen himself is/used to be a diver for the Navy so that's probably why he explained it so well and why he covered many diving cases already
It was so refreshing to have a survival story for once! I was so happy it turned out like that! Go Chris - and especially his buddies who didn't give up on him!! 👏👏👏
Has anybody got a tally on how many times Ballen has taught us about decompression stops?
No but we enjoy each and every time we hear about it.
I’m at 8😂😂
😂😂
😂😂
17 so far 😳
I was so sad when Chris died. He was alone. In the dark and cold. So glad he made it against impossible odds. That was a miracle.
Good decision on the part of the captain to do a hard reset.
@@tov5392 and a scary one when the weather is nuts
Why did you say he died?
Why did you say he died?
@@barbaramason3145 Initially, i thought he died. I misspoke. I should have said I thought he died, not that he did die.
Ship’s captain: “Have you tried switching it off and back on again?”
it works for most things lol
You could've knocked me over with a feather when I heard that Chris lived! I've watched a lot of MrBallen's videos in the last few days, but this is the first survivor I've heard of! Thank God Chris lived!
There is an incredible documentary on Netflix called “last breath” about the dive. I was bawling the whole time! I completely recommend!
I watched it on the bBC a few years ago, I'm still scratching my heed why he didn't get killed, and the guy who saved him really dislike each other, I thought in the documentary, he was ice cold whether he survived or not
@@wchurchillflippingthebird3545 thanks for letting me know imma watch it now
@@rodneymorton6973N.B. But I'm not 💯% certain whether or not it was the bbc, I only presumed it was bbc coz it was a 🇬🇧 diving crew & 🇬🇧 documentary & I know I didn't watch it online, I do recommend it tbh
thanks
Holy $hit that was so good.
"Hey Chris, don't fuck it up this time" 😂
Oh wow. Chris's survival story is one of the best I've ever heard. His chances were all but nil. It's so cool that his diving partner hadn't given up on him, instead dragging him into the dive bell, pulling all that gear off and giving him some breaths. It's just an incredible story of survival.
i was already feeling sad for him half way through the story, but then he survived! yay!
I will never go into the comments before finishing the video again. Lol
My breath actually hitched when you got to the point where Chris came back to life. That was amazing.
i love the friendship the divers had. they didnt care if he was suppose to be dead, they were still trying to save their friend. they were all determined to get him back, and they did everything they could. I would feel very safe working with people that i had a bond with like that.
She was released after a year??????
She literally shot someone in the head while they were asleep!
Right?!
Why would they even offer a plea deal when he confessed. Jesus Christ the justice system is retarded.
That’s what I’m thinking! She tried to KILL her HUSBAND! I just can’t believe she was allowed outta there smh
@@lovelylittleluma364 I think any attempt of murder, murder, rape and pedophile should be locked up forever
@@michaelburmudzija3584 commonplace occurrence in real life. Quite a stark difference from the imaginary world espoused in social sciences and academia as a whole.
So the 2nd story She rather Kill and admit to shooting her husband but she couldn't admit to failure? The human mind is full of more pride and shame for all kinds of things.
She also failed at killing him
Not the first case of it. This channel covers a case where a guy almost killed his entire family instead of admit he never graduated from med school.
Also only gets 1 years jail and then released. If the roles were reversed, he would have had a decade in jail.
And continues to sleep after getting shot in the head
I was wondering the same, it doesn't make sense to me either.
Wow! Good for Chris 🍀 my dad was right about this quote: “if it’s not your time to go yet.. you will miraculously survive in any situation”
i was thinking the same thing, it definitely was NOT his time! and yes, your dad was right.😊😊
I gotta disagree because (and this is a very sad fact) around 20,000 to 30,000 children die *everyday* and most of them could be saved with basic medical treatment.
@@Gorguruga god wants to take their life back to bring them back to another life which is basically happier
@@namenotfound614 that’s an awful thing to say
@@natalyn139 who cares?
Most of these stories do not end well, but I was so glad to hear Chris made it out alive despite his horrible predicament.
That final story was so heartwarming. I'm so used to people just dying in any underwater story. Can't imagine the gratitude Chris felt, and the relief of his buddies when he gasped for air.
I got soooo excited and happy when Chris turned out to be alive. I can't imagine the feeling of those people seeing him coming back to life.
Wish they would make a movie out of it but knowing hollywood they would probably add sea monsters. Even though the story is scary in itself.
😂😂😂😂😭
@@Ilovegrunge123 There is a movie, it's called "Last breath". It's on Netflix.
@@alexis415 I'll check it out.
Only a year in prison for attempted murder in a cold hearted manor. What a joke
America f@ck ya
if it was the other way around he would’ve got 50+ years what a damn joke
@@untze0 lmao
1 year in prison for putting a bullet in someone’s head while they sleep. Essentially assassinating them.
My thought as well.
I get SO invested in these stories, lolz! 😂😂😂 Story #3 was SO captivating, that I literally CLAPPED MY HANDS 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 (while saying rather loudly) 🗣"YAY!!" when Mr. Ballen said that after Dave gave Chris MtM Resuscitation, Chris came back to life; even after being _without oxygen _*_for 30 minutes!_* What an incredible story!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Mr Ballen: says that sat dives rarely goes wrong.
Mr Ballen: proceeds to tell multiple sat dive story’s going wrong
He should say they rarely go right.
Hahaah
As soon as I saw the rig in the background I was like 'that can't be good'
Hahahaha 😂😂 🤦 you are right about that,so funny, even Mr ballen found it funny!! 😂😂
I think its just one of those things that it rarely goes wrong but when it does its terrifying, like commercial airline crashes
Always satisfied with these stories. Yeah Chris and two friends who revived him. Such a great ending. Had me on the edge of the seat the whole story.
After watching your story about Chris, I found the true story film ‘Last Breath’, a truly amazing film. I found myself holding my breath without realising.
Even knowing he survives, it still makes for a very hard watch.
What each person involved went through during that time must have been so awful, the waiting and not knowing. Chris really clung to life with everything he had. A true survivor.
That absolutely wonderful thing about it was that they refused to give up on Chris, and that determination saved Chris' life. Well done to all.
This man could talk about dust and I would gladly watch. He makes everything so interesting
Wat a dumb example ,I love dust.
"Dust is created by dust mites when they poop"
There's a good channel on RUclips called Dust. Sci-fi short movies! Got nearly 3 million subs.
Couldn’t agree more
I can't imagine how scary being in the pitch blackness of underwater would be...the balls on that guy to continue working that job after going through that, absolute mad man.
If you knew the kind of money underwater welders make, you'd probably jump right back in too. I just do structural - a few different types and I make really good money. Those UW guys live the high life but have to get out after about 15-20 years. That's their life expectancy. By then they'll have a multi million dollar house and all the toys. Assuming they don't waste it on hookers and blow (high probability if you know any welders).

MIkes wife:

That one was so weird I never understood why she didn't just tell the truth. Would've been easier than being in jail for a year.
@@brianawhittaker8152 still only 1 year for attempted murder is insane
1 year for attempted murder AND lying to the police, she wasn’t even cooperating lmao. Male privilege tho
How tf she only get one year?! I gotta look into this 🤯🤯
I know right?
I curbed my husbands brand wheels on his brand new BMW after 30 mins of him owning it. I didnt think oh no! I'm going to kill him... I thought I would just plead innocents 🤣 I told him in the end though... when he sold the car. What is wrong with people?
Im glad that his diving buddies actually went down to get him, they could of just thought that hes dead and no way to save him, also that he found the structure is crazyy!!!
On the diver's story...David Blaine went into detail about those exact type of cases...almost the same thing happend to a young boy who fell thru ice, was under for like 40 mins, unconscious, but bc he never inhaled water, it's like the body went into a self preservation/shut down mode and the boy likewise was also 100% okay.
Yeah same as insects to. U can freeze a fly rock solid and then thaw it out and it springs back to life
The same happened with Jean Hilliard, who was rock solid frozen for six whole hours in a snow storm at night. She survived. You can look up her documentary/photos online. It's quite fascinating.
There was a Swedish woman who fell into icy water after a skiing accident. She found an air pocket but suffered from circular arrest after 40 minutes. Her body temperature was just 13.7° Celsius (~56 F) when they found her, 80 minutes after she fell into the water. She also survived and was fine again but it took a while. Her name is Anna Bågenholm.
The diving story was one of the best stories you have done! I was so damn happy when you said he survived! I wish more of your stories had happy endings! Great job crew!!
Awesome channel!!
the way you are able to vividly paint a picture of being at the bottom of the ocean floor in these saturation diver stories is amazing and anxiety inducing all at the same time to the point where I can imagine MYSELF being at the bottom of the ocean floor and getting thoroughly creeped tf out. I've swam in oceans and such, but I've always been terrified of the unknown the oceans/seas carry as well. def doesn't trigger me to the point I can't listen to these stories, but still gives me the heebie jeebies thinking about it.
That Chris fella, he’s got big, big balls. It just won’t his time to die. What an amazing story. Enjoyed the video!
❤️💜💚
Wasn’t
@@alexhamilton4084 I stand corrected. Thank you.
❤️💜💚
"He didn't intend to launch a dummy off the tower" Sure he did.
Yup, he was the dummy.
Took me a second!
Hahaha i got it.
ZING!
Damn right he did
Such shocking stories! I fully expected Chris to not make it and was shocked and relieved he miraculously lived! Love these stories! I've stopped watching ALL my streaming service shows and only watch this channel! I cannot get enough!
I'm so glad Chris survived...So many of these stories end in death and the emptiness of the ocean is one of my biggest fears
I have a phobia of sharks, crocodiles and alligators!!
I’m not a flannel guy but Mr. Ballen’s flannel game is next level.
Dude has every single flannel shirt ever made
And the hats to match.
I’m a flannel guy, I agree we both got game. Mr. Ballen got me shopping tho...
Dude is ON IT!
He's through playin' around. 😠
🤣 that’s funny shit right there !!
I didn’t know I was a fan of the strange,dark,and mysterious told in story format till I found Mrballen
That last story has to be my all time favourite! Truly happy ending when usually the endings are grim. Love the way you tell your stories, thanks.
Poor Chris. I also can't imagine how the people on the boat felt when they saw his body laying on the structure like that. Glad he made it out okay.
imagine mike telling his wife that he has a headache after his wife shot him.
Lol I thought that too. I bet she was like I knew I should have spent a bit extra on a magnum but I had to buy shoes as well as a gun.
Right!! But the fact that your wife would elbow you soo hard that your ear would bleed - and that’s ok or a normal thought to you - speaks volumes... that is not a healthy marriage
He did think it was an accident or a twitch in their sleep. Still wasn’t a healthy marriage because she tried to kill him lmao
Shot husband in the head and gets out of prison after 1 year due to a plea deal? I cannot comprehend what kind of justice this is 🤨
Just shoot em again
"The back up computer also failed." .. Take a lesson from Star Trek Engineering and have secondary backups for absolutely everything that could even be remotely associated with life and death.
I’m guessing that also would have failed XD. The grim reaper had it in for him that day!
Awesome story about Chris. Nice to have a miracle ending once in a while. I think the cold and pressure combined with him passing out, pushed more blood into his brain, maybe caused shallow breathing making the oxygen last longer, saving his brain and body from damage.
I love the last story, i was expecting a sad one, but it was awesome that chris survived
Oh man...that last story, i had my fingers crossed the whole time and then when you said they found him blue and dead....wow! Then they grabbed him and started mouth to mouth and he lived!!!! Praise God! What a great story, John...thank you!!!!
💯🙏🏼😇 GOD IS GOOD.. ALL THE TIME! 🙏🏼 Yeah his time was definitely not up here on Earth he still had a purpose to fulfill!
@@sunnysunshine6237 I agree with you wholeheartedly...and if that diver didnt know Jesus when that happened, I sure do bet he does now! 😉
Story #3 was just so damn heartwarming I can't... totally not something I'd expect from Mr. Ballen's channel, but a great surprise nonetheless!
I really thought it was another death story. I'm amazed that Chris survived.
And I'm shocked he still does this job, although he almost lost his life there
So happy to hear a story with a happy ending. So glad Chris survived!
This was the first time I've ever cheered out loud and clapped while watching a MrBallen video, but I cheered and had tears well up in my eyes when the diver was brought back to life! Those are truly brave men.
I never knew there was so many diving horror stories out there until Mrballen. It's both fascinating and terrifying and I want to hear more of them!
Look up the saturation chamber that exploded.

Have u ever seen no mount cave diving? I'm sure u have, but if not, go check some of those videos out. They really freak me out, being somewhat claustrophobic.
