The one about the pirate was the best. More entertaining and rewatchable than any capeshit or movie from the last few years. Or would you rather watch TENET?
He's fricking moronic, he was trying to widen that part of the cave in the hope of attracting tourists, but nearly nobody was willing to go through the narrow passage where you had to crawl through sharp rocks and not exhale in order to fit, even to try and rescue him. He should have worked on that part first, he was never going to get anywhere with his stupid little project.
The only generous explanation I can come up with is that he didnt know how big that room at the end was and wanted to know if the payoff would be worth it or if it was just a thing he could see through the opening. Still completely moronic though.
this tbh, he’s lucky no one died trying to save his dumbass.
Its awful what happened but its kind of hard to not look at the event as entirely brought on by his poor decisions
Weren't those invented thousands of years ago? It seems like they could have anchored one in the rock wall across from his head and made the rope pull method work more effectively.
As people have said, he could have been rescued if they weren't quite so dumb. All they had to do to make the rope pull work was to insert a pulley across from the guy's head. Or for the jack, get something more stable than 2 blocks of wood. Maybe one slightly bigger piece of wood. Covering the hole would have helped the rain. Venting away the exhaust from the machines would have let them work faster. There's tons of little shit that could have been done that would have made the rescue a success
Just watching the video, he coulda been saved had they tried digging down to him immediately, or they could have gone with their original plan if hundred of dipshit gawkers hadn't come by and caused the cave-in. He was killed more by lack of organization than anything else
How is watching this youtube doco any different from a boomer sitting down to watch an episode of Air Crash Investigations? No, really. What is your arbitrary rule based off of.

It wasnt nearly as funny or as interesting for such a long video
His worst video to be quite honest fellow anonymous posters
I was unfamiliar with the story, so I was engaged, expecting the first half of the video just getting him out, and the second half dealing with the media attention afterwards. Sad to learn they failed.

It was an interesting video, but it wasn't an internet historian video
he could've just as easily not been in the video too, his actions throughout are
1. he orders the survey guys to check the cave
2. he watches the diggers carefully
I think thats it
They're not meant to be ignored moron, it's for comedies sake that he has his youtuber friends play characters, or uses stock photo models when they isn't a good picture of someone.
God you fricks are such annoying little shits aren't you? Shall we swap out Wendigoon for an image of the hick's decomposed remains whilst we are at it?
Nicely done video on interesting content. Better than most the shit on TV these days. Youtube creators will being to take over the market. Networks will buy the content from the creators and remake it for their own services, or they will just copy the content and put it out themselves.
>nicely done video
Its barely a step above Rock memes with stock photos and needless meme injections everything. IH was clearly grown on Cinemaphile soil and it shows
I'm just saying that it's a boring, overused "haha I'm ironically not even trying here's alamy pic" reddit format. It makes even less sense that it takes the gay fricking years to produce one video.
Doja cat can upload herself having diarrhea and it would break the internet, trending means nothing to me. His previous video on oh-so-topical-people-still-care Area 51 couldn't even hit 10 mil, how much money can he actually make off of it?

IH hasnt created a video like that in a long time. Last one was probably Fallout 76 but even that had limited appeal cuz u needed to be an epic video game nerd. This hole shit hits every demographic.
It was probably possible; the biggest issue was time and various mistakes they made while going about it. It's possible they could have saved him if everyone got together immediately and began building the shaft immediately on top of him.
they didn't have the widespread support initially, so probably would not have had the manpower. a rope pull with a pulley, or maybe getting a single wood block instead of fricking around with two wedge shaped pieces for hours were probably his only hope. props to miller for sticking his face in the sausage powered shit pile floyd was laying in, I guess.
Just watching the video, he coulda been saved had they tried digging down to him immediately, or they could have gone with their original plan if hundred of dipshit gawkers hadn't come by and caused the cave-in. He was killed more by lack of organization than anything else
>bro just dig through 60ft of solid rock lmao
Did you not watch the video, moron? Even with around the clock fresh workers it took them over 150hrs to get there, it was an impossible plan until the governmnet got the wind of this shit
Only because of weather conditions and the worsening stability of the cave. By the time they got around to digging the hole, most of the people involved were already too exhausted from spending literal days doing one moronic scheme after the other.
Did you? They realized almost immediately that the gov't machines would be of no help and ended digging the entire way with picks, shovels and some dynamite
They could have got all the people unwilling to do the squeeze to start picking a hole from the top while simultaneously the journalists guy and the brother dig him out from the inside. But they were moronic kentucky inbreeds who couldn’t think of basic problem solving
>The news becomes your average /misc/ /b/ board when they don't believe he's actually trapped and it was all a publicity stunt so they arrest the men trying to save him
The rescue was taken a lot more seriously but they ended up sealing the cave to leave him there forever. One of the rescuers ended up banging the guys wife though.
This was a fun topic but this has nothing to do with the internet. He used to report on crazy shit we did in the past and now he is doing normie tier shit
Cinemaphile's been a boring overly moderated shithole ever since the election and the split. I don't even know why I'm still here, guess I just got nowhere else to go, I'm like a battered wife
I find it funny how trought history, people are always people.
The way the crowd stood around asking stupid questions and giving their "hot takes" while doing nothing.
Everyone in the country gossipping about the fact, and fake news about it being a ruse spreading around.
The government only moving their fat ass when they see it has become a famous matter.
Absolutely nothing has changed, only people's abilities to see how fricked up everything is. It must have been pretty comfy living in 19th and early 20th century America and believing that people are mostly good, and are not mostly dumb, and the government is in no way incompetent and self-centered.
It was never about saving him. It was a story about the sheer fricking hubris of man. Notice how they don't even bother utilizing children? Kids back then were doing this shit for fun while collecting coal.
I wonder how embellished the story is, because everyone important seems to behave like a cool brave gigachad cracking oneliners, including the guy who coincidentally wrote about the whole thing after totally rejecting a million bucks deal and representing himself as the biggest hero even though he probably wasted most time coming up with quck schemes like trying to crowbar a ...whole cave. Was the "squeeze" really just 9 inches? Were turn of a century mutts all midgets or some shit?
I don't get the hate over this, it was literally a hundred times better than the area 51 one. It wasn't funny but was kind of interesting
>If they did another rope attempt they would have seved him but people seethed too much at the rope guy
Most likely, i didn't even get the crowd's reaction the circumstances has changed why did they think it'll definitely fail again
How the frick did they fail with the rope?
First of all, they should've brought on a bunch of grease and lubed Floyderino up, the whole cave should've been slicky like a homosexual's butthole. Homer should've been pressing down on him to minimize tension instead of yelling like a moron, they could've chiseled away parts of the cave that were in a way.
One underrated point at which this could have been avoided is if the guy who got trapped had mapped the route once and then chiseled the pathway to the salt cave from the outside in. Like get each stage as wide as you actually need for tourist access from the outside in rather than for some reason starting at the bottom in such a way that you have to chisel lying down.
exactly what I was thinking, this was meant to be a tourist destination right? Obviously not too many people were keen on going pass the turn around point, let alone the crawlspace after. Not only was he making his job more difficult but he wasn't preserving anything of value. It would make sense if it was his first time and he was just scouting it out.
mountains!=caves
never been to a cave, but i can imagine that the feeling of dread in a tight claustrophobic dark wet cave would overwhelm a lot of white people, you need to be desperate or dumb to venture in one of these, especially alone and without some backup plan
i'd be less scared of submerging into depths than crawling in these kind of caves really
>hurr durr if you don't do dangerous shit you're not white durr
Doing things without planning, intelligence, and preparation is the Black person way. Floyd's story is basically the same as of that 127 hours guy who got stuck between rocks, or of McCandless. They didn't prepare, didn't take any precautions, didn't inform anyone around, did things in the most dangerous way possible, and got rekt. Their fate is tragic but hard to empathize with. And Floyd wasn't exploring the cave for some epic exploration spirit, he was trying to make a buck by turning his land into a tourist hotspot. Which ironically happened because of his death lmao.
I wouldn't go near a cave like that for all the money in the world, I just don't get it. Crawling like a fricking molerat through those tunnels sounds like my worst nightmare, and there are people doing that shit for fun?
people who do it for fun are actual headcases. same with those dudes that free climb and shit. theyre no different to that schizo grizzly guy treadwell
I just don't fricking understand why he was clearing rocks so far down
there was barely anyone moronic enough to go through the first chute let alone the squeeze, why the frick wasn't he clearing out rocks from the start so it would be easier for literally anyone to follow him?
>the squeeze caved in >floyd laid there alone for several days with no food or water >light went out >he died around 24 hours later thinking he'd just been abandoned
Imagine that last day. Fricking jesus man. I'm never going into a cave.
>cave starts sagging as soon as people start crowding around it and there's a flurry of activity inside/nearby >Floyd initially wanted to turn this into a tourist attraction
I feel like I'm the only one wondering how the frick this could've been turned into a tourist attraction if the heat of nearby fires was enough to start melting the entire place down? I know you can solidify the structure with wooden beams eventually but still.
>know you can solidify the structure with wooden beams eventually but still.
I'm guessing he wanted to take a look inside the "crystal room" before making that decision, and if it was actually as beautiful as he had suspected, he would've shored everything up and dug it out so you could crawl on your hands and knees instead of wriggling like a worm.
I'm surprised that the dude somehow survived 250 hours lying on a cold damp soil unable to move. Even if he were rescured he probably didn't have a chance of surviving longterm
As soon as I realized I had more odds of not making it, I would've asked for someone to slit my throat. Especially when it became a real possibility that the cave would erode further and leave him trapped with no light, food and water.
Cavers are hands down the most annoying people on the planet. They're the "vegans" of having a hobby. They literally do it to get attention and have people saying shit like "oh wow I would never do that, that's crazy" so they can show off how "out there" and "different" they are. One of the people in my friend group does this shit and every single time he brings up how he's going to "explore another one this weekend" I keep hoping that stupid motherfricker gets stuck and dies. They're the type of people who keep bringing it up when nobody cares.
>Hey John, how have you been? >Yea hit's been hectic man, went through this crazy cave last weekend and scratched myself up, the gap in the wall was like 1 inch thick and I squeezed myself through it hahaha... how? Oh, I don't know, I just do it, it's mind over matter you know?
And jesus christ good luck if you actually feign interest in this shit, they'll start ranting about their homosexual caves at you for like 5 hours, most of which is probably 100% fiction about how last friday they turned themselves into liquid to squeeze through a 1 milimetre gap in the wall of a cave 50 feet down underground and start spouting "caving terms" (which they'll annotate to you as "caving terms" as soon as they mention it). They literally jerk themselves off on the idea of someone asking why they do it or what's the point or if they're scared to get stuck so they can get off on some speech about how they've been doing it for a long time and how if you get scared in a cave you're already dead or some gay shit like that. If you ever meet someone who says they do caving - just ignore it. Don't bring it up. Don't ask, you'll see them anxiously bring it up more and more to a point where they'll literally derail unrelated conversations to let you know they do caving.
I'm not anti youtube videos, this guy is just so shit that you know he has bots etc. Bethedsa video is mildly funny and deserves about 500k views. but it has 10 fricking million. more than like .. plinkett phantom menace or the any video you can think of that was the most funny thing you've seen
I'm a professional caver who has been doing this for about a decade and a bit, I've done plenty of tight squeezes. There's actually very little fatalities that come from people getting stuck in this regard, you'd be surprised at how maneuverable the human body can be in tight spaces.
You're more likely to die in caves from falls or flooding not properly anticipated.
Can someone explain why he was digging in the deepest part of the cave? If it's going to be a tourist attraction he'd have to make it walkable for people, so why not start at the beginning of the cave instead of the end? Why did he do this in the most dangerous way possible?
It led to a cavern that looked really cool, full of unique looking formations and stuff, the rest of the cave that he had gone through so far was unremarkable, so he was trying to clear a way to what he considered an actual selling point for his cave
The majority of people were just gawking like idiots and also couldn't fit in the hole even if they tried
He could have made it out if they just stuck with digging out the gravel like they were doing originally but hindsight is 20/20
Parts of the story that feel like bullshit:
1. The Squeeze is presented like some event horizon of danger that everyone except the bravest b***hed out of, but I doubt it was so bad considering they end up casually dipping in and out of it every 5 minutes. I think it was more of a case of people just being unenthused to risk their lives for a local moron who got his ass stuck in a cave for 10th time this week.
2. Floyd is already incoherent 30 hours in but 100 later suddenly starts dishing out cool anime speeches about never surrendering (only paperman was there to hear it hmmmmm), thats not how human bodies work, likely he was borderline braindead for a long time, maybe even comatose
3. I keked when two 'heroes' of the story both went into the cave alone but got absolutely rained upon by 5000lbs rocks (source: dude trust me) so they just HAD to leave. So drama, so badass.
4. I'm supposed to hate the landlord for parading Floyd's body around, but really, if you think about it, Floyd's horseshit ended up costing millions of dollars in unpaid labor and expensive mining equipment carted across state to dig him up
5. I like how his brother gets sick and peaces out of the whole thing ;^)
>costing millions of dollars in unpaid labor and expensive
Hello moron. Did you miss the part when 10,000 people turned up to the town meaning literally every townsperson made money from this?
Cave diver here
One thing that isn't really talked about by normies is how bad the air is down there.
In a cave that's undisturbed for god knows how long, people go in there, there is dust kicked up and you're breathing that shit in.
It's awful.
Your sinuses will be fricked up for weeks after.
It's even worse if the cave's got bats in it, that shit is rank.
That smell stays with you.
>be stuck in a cave for 40 hours, body numb and hurting at the same time, sanity slipping away >finally someone shows up, rescue!!! >"Hello sir, would you answer a few questions for our local magazine?" >...homie frick you >Breaking News: Cave City Man Says He Won't Give Up The Fight
what was the deal with the large cave on the other side? Wasn't that already known and reasonable easy to access? Couldn't they approach from that cave and remove the stone pinning him in place?
I thought he did it to open up a route he could use to do tours and earn money and that other people had already claimed the more accessible cave entrances?
Yeah, but he was dieing the whole time. He had to sit there for hours in the dark, stewing in his own shit and piss freezing and loosing his senses knowing full well the long it went on his odds of surviving plummeted.
To quote him from the vid >I have faced death before; it doesn't frighten me; but it is so -long-
I understand that it may not have been as painful as say, burned alive, but it still has to be one of the worst ways out of sheer sadness and despair over being buried alive and abandoned
Unless I don't know how hard the rocks were but with all those people around, couldn't they just start breaking down the rocks near the entrance and start making bigger openings?
Dozens of people standing around and no one wanted to start swinging pickaxes and hauling chunks of rocks away to make space.
>put large rock near guy's head to act as balance point >bring long bar to act as a lever (they could rivet smaller bars together after taking them through the squeeze) >??? >free guy plus profit
Hire me. I'm a holing professional
why did gerald leave? he saw some success at digging away some of the gravel but then only showed up later after 5000 morons from out of town drove in and essentially caused a cavein
>muh meme internet historian
cringe tier terribly researched memes for Cinemaphile incels
You make a youtube video then.
3 million have watched 1hr+ video.
Better ratings than commercial TV right now.
god knows why, it was boring as frick
maybe if you ask the internet historian nicely, he'll condense it down to a 1 minute tiktok to cater for your short attention span
I get the feeling he's just pushing his internet friends now. Costa Concordia was arguably his best video.
That one was pretty good. I enjoyed too the one about furries
Wrong, he hasn't been kino since the Kony video.
I liked the area 51 one
His best video in my opinion. Absolute banger. I’ve seen it 3 times front to back
The one about the pirate was the best. More entertaining and rewatchable than any capeshit or movie from the last few years. Or would you rather watch TENET?
>Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeve!
Post a non-boring youtube video then. I seriously want to know what a depraved individual finds entertaining.
He won't. His only identity is being contrarian. The only thing he enjoys is disliking what others like.
It's because they're tasteless low IQ shitskins that want to fit in
no different than when meme shows like strangers thing is on
a view doesn't mean watching the whole video or anywhere near it
So you loved it?
brutal take
>t. still mad about varus video absolutely destroying your ass
I agree if only because now normie cringegays are going to bring it up more often
They failed to come up with better ideas until it was too late.
He was extremely lucky anyone even attempted to rescue him. Fricking stupid caver frick.
>stupid redneck hick does moronic shit
>you're supposed to feel sorry for him
>wants to make it a tourist attraction
>almost everyone b***hes out of the cave before even getting to the hardest part

this tbh, he’s lucky no one died trying to save his dumbass.
Its awful what happened but its kind of hard to not look at the event as entirely brought on by his poor decisions
it's not like he asked for all the media attention and everything that happened
He knew exactly what he was doing and had tons of experience in that cave. It was just one innocent frickup that doomed him.
Could he have been rescued with today´s tech?
yes, they have things called pulleys now
Weren't those invented thousands of years ago? It seems like they could have anchored one in the rock wall across from his head and made the rope pull method work more effectively.
Anchored it how and with what?
hammer a steel anchor into rock.
yes, that was a joke. unfortunately everyone involved, including the guy in the hole, was moronic.
yes
I dont think you understand how fricking cramped that cave is
I don't think pulley would help. His leg was stuck, remember.
they were going to ignore that when they tried to pull him out
>losing your leg
>losing your life
pick one
Those aren't mutually exclusive options.
Nutty Putty
As people have said, he could have been rescued if they weren't quite so dumb. All they had to do to make the rope pull work was to insert a pulley across from the guy's head. Or for the jack, get something more stable than 2 blocks of wood. Maybe one slightly bigger piece of wood. Covering the hole would have helped the rain. Venting away the exhaust from the machines would have let them work faster. There's tons of little shit that could have been done that would have made the rescue a success
Just watching the video, he coulda been saved had they tried digging down to him immediately, or they could have gone with their original plan if hundred of dipshit gawkers hadn't come by and caused the cave-in. He was killed more by lack of organization than anything else
It was never about saving him.
Was his dad really such a moron?
Shouldn’t you know, Satan? I’m sure you’ve got him down there.

This video gave me anxiety attacks. People who unironically go into these caves are more psychopathic than every Dahmer and Bundy combined

Nooo he should go out to the place that man got stuck and take photos himself!
I'm just saying that it's a boring, overused "haha I'm ironically not even trying here's alamy pic" reddit format. It makes even less sense that it takes the gay fricking years to produce one video.
He's top 3 in trending whenever he releases a video. I doubt he give a frick about constantly releasing videos.
Doja cat can upload herself having diarrhea and it would break the internet, trending means nothing to me. His previous video on oh-so-topical-people-still-care Area 51 couldn't even hit 10 mil, how much money can he actually make off of it?
seethe harder

He probably makes way more money on Storymode where he does like none of the work but its got consistent uploads
>Doja Cat can upload herself having diarrhea
And I would watch it
He makes money off of sponsorships morons
those ads he does in the middle of his videos are lump sum payments in the tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands range.
It's unironically harder to do it his style due to the layers involved. He talks about it in his Costa QA video
>Youtube creators will being to take over the market
Already have
More established film directors than guys like Steven Spielberg
They could've easily saved him. They were just too stupid to do so.
It was ok. I like IH but I don't think he's a good fit for these kinds of stories.
Is this another hour+ long youtube documentary that can be condensed (as it was probably just lifted from wikipedia articles) into 5-10 minutes of reading time?
So don't watch it and just read the wikipedia pages instead
Yeah, exactly.
>bro, you WATCH movies? You realize you can just read the plot on wikipedia, right?
>Internet Historian makes yet another surface level video but it has "da memes" in it
>completely mindbreaks Cinemaphile's mind every time
God this place is so homosexual
>surface level
He was trapped over 50ft deep, dummy
>completely mindbreaks Cinemaphile's mind every time
IH hasnt created a video like that in a long time. Last one was probably Fallout 76 but even that had limited appeal cuz u needed to be an epic video game nerd. This hole shit hits every demographic.
Does he have any other video that is as good as this one?
HOW DARE YOU NOT LIKE MY FAVORITE YOUTUBER (MY BEST FRIEND)
HOW FRICKING DARE YOU
>seething homosexual pretends other side is seething
you forgot the meme arrow, therefore that is actually you in that picture
YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO LIKE SOMETHING!! I HATE EVERYTHING BECAUSE THAT MAKES ME SO ABOVE IT ALL MAN!!!!
Because of the way he was trapped there was no way to pull him out. They explain it in the video, did you watch it?
It was probably possible; the biggest issue was time and various mistakes they made while going about it. It's possible they could have saved him if everyone got together immediately and began building the shaft immediately on top of him.
they didn't have the widespread support initially, so probably would not have had the manpower. a rope pull with a pulley, or maybe getting a single wood block instead of fricking around with two wedge shaped pieces for hours were probably his only hope. props to miller for sticking his face in the sausage powered shit pile floyd was laying in, I guess.
>keep onlookers away from cave
>dig a hole directly to the guy right away
Those 2 simple things could have saved him.
>bro just dig through 60ft of solid rock lmao
Did you not watch the video, moron? Even with around the clock fresh workers it took them over 150hrs to get there, it was an impossible plan until the governmnet got the wind of this shit
Only because of weather conditions and the worsening stability of the cave. By the time they got around to digging the hole, most of the people involved were already too exhausted from spending literal days doing one moronic scheme after the other.
Did you? They realized almost immediately that the gov't machines would be of no help and ended digging the entire way with picks, shovels and some dynamite
They could have got all the people unwilling to do the squeeze to start picking a hole from the top while simultaneously the journalists guy and the brother dig him out from the inside. But they were moronic kentucky inbreeds who couldn’t think of basic problem solving

He's free in under 2 days.
>The news becomes your average /misc/ /b/ board when they don't believe he's actually trapped and it was all a publicity stunt so they arrest the men trying to save him
A story as old as time. I am more amazed by the fact the dude was there because for some bizarre reason caves are considered a tourist bait.
>because for some bizarre reason caves are considered a tourist bait.
They didnt have shit to do back then, you still get people cave spelunking and shit too
Is the nutty putty incident just as bizzare?
How do you mean?
The rescue was taken a lot more seriously but they ended up sealing the cave to leave him there forever. One of the rescuers ended up banging the guys wife though.
>One of the rescuers ended up banging the guys wife though.
Fricking based.
he had already died
>be me
>cave explorer
>get stuck in cave
>guy who is supposed to save me is too busy exploring my wife's caves and I die
Many such cases
>government only comes to save him when they see it as beneficial to their popularity

This was a fun topic but this has nothing to do with the internet. He used to report on crazy shit we did in the past and now he is doing normie tier shit
Maybe because this website doesn't do cool stuff anymore.
What can he even report on? How /qa/ got overrun by basedjaks and nuked?
It's because of mods. Even HWNDU threads were being deleted from here
Cinemaphile's been a boring overly moderated shithole ever since the election and the split. I don't even know why I'm still here, guess I just got nowhere else to go, I'm like a battered wife
thats when you know it's time to rope bucko
4chins the last stop.
Is this Internet Historian? Why isn't anyone saying so? He should be covering stuff like hwndu, AI dungeon, stable diffusion, etc. Not this trash.
Last interesting thing we did was HWNDU.
>we
He's shifted true, now it's just shit that interests him. As long as the quality is still good I'm not too upset
Hes not your friend even if you pretend him to be. Go outside and get real friends, instead of defending e celebs online
It's turned out pretty clever naming because he can easily transition to being "historian on the internet" rather than "historian of the internet"
Name like 5 topics worth making a video on based around Cinemaphile that havent already been covered by one of the other internet storyteller gays
I find it funny how trought history, people are always people.
The way the crowd stood around asking stupid questions and giving their "hot takes" while doing nothing.
Everyone in the country gossipping about the fact, and fake news about it being a ruse spreading around.
The government only moving their fat ass when they see it has become a famous matter.
Absolutely nothing has changed, only people's abilities to see how fricked up everything is. It must have been pretty comfy living in 19th and early 20th century America and believing that people are mostly good, and are not mostly dumb, and the government is in no way incompetent and self-centered.
moral of the story? FRICK LANDLORDS they must all be put to the guillotine
>watching ecelebs
shiggy
you are so fricking based for not engaging with [popular thing]
>guy is stuck between rocks
>lets feed him hot dogs so he'll become bloated and constipated
Mutt moment
And coffee a diuretic
It was never about saving him. It was a story about the sheer fricking hubris of man. Notice how they don't even bother utilizing children? Kids back then were doing this shit for fun while collecting coal.
People in the 20s sure were fricking stupid
I wonder how embellished the story is, because everyone important seems to behave like a cool brave gigachad cracking oneliners, including the guy who coincidentally wrote about the whole thing after totally rejecting a million bucks deal and representing himself as the biggest hero even though he probably wasted most time coming up with quck schemes like trying to crowbar a ...whole cave. Was the "squeeze" really just 9 inches? Were turn of a century mutts all midgets or some shit?
I hate british accents so much it's unreal
? Historian is Haitian.
he's a kiwi moron.
damn homie you must be moronic or sum shiet
tis a good story and I've been to mammoth cave
>Hole
Why don't they just make a human sized core drill and drill him out?
I'm still watching maybe they do that and save him at the end
If they did another rope attempt they would have seved him but people seethed too much at the rope guy
I don't get the hate over this, it was literally a hundred times better than the area 51 one. It wasn't funny but was kind of interesting
>If they did another rope attempt they would have seved him but people seethed too much at the rope guy
Most likely, i didn't even get the crowd's reaction the circumstances has changed why did they think it'll definitely fail again
>I don't get the hate over this
Just contrarians.
>FLOYD
>sup
How the frick did they fail with the rope?
First of all, they should've brought on a bunch of grease and lubed Floyderino up, the whole cave should've been slicky like a homosexual's butthole. Homer should've been pressing down on him to minimize tension instead of yelling like a moron, they could've chiseled away parts of the cave that were in a way.
His leg was stuck
Watch Ace in the Hole (1951) instead for actual kino
Autism containment thread
Good video tho
One underrated point at which this could have been avoided is if the guy who got trapped had mapped the route once and then chiseled the pathway to the salt cave from the outside in. Like get each stage as wide as you actually need for tourist access from the outside in rather than for some reason starting at the bottom in such a way that you have to chisel lying down.
exactly what I was thinking, this was meant to be a tourist destination right? Obviously not too many people were keen on going pass the turn around point, let alone the crawlspace after. Not only was he making his job more difficult but he wasn't preserving anything of value. It would make sense if it was his first time and he was just scouting it out.
I feel as though Internet Historian stuff should at least be from the era in which the internet existed
He's just a stupid youtuber. Doesn't matter
Your move, cave
this god damn
how did no one think of a pulley or wench system
would take like a few hours at most to set up
>wench
Lmao, I was thinking this, I was wondrering if these were invented yet.
It'd be too difficult to get it through the squeeze
if floyd could bring a lantern through and they could bring supplies down they could have brought the parts of a wench system
>if floyd could bring a lantern through
He brought the lantern through in an unorthodox way
>Fine take him then, but im keeping the leg!
Who the frick looks at that cave entrance and thinks "yeah, lets see whats in there."
It even looks like the mouth of a fricking monster.
Non white detected.
mountains!=caves
never been to a cave, but i can imagine that the feeling of dread in a tight claustrophobic dark wet cave would overwhelm a lot of white people, you need to be desperate or dumb to venture in one of these, especially alone and without some backup plan
i'd be less scared of submerging into depths than crawling in these kind of caves really
>hurr durr if you don't do dangerous shit you're not white durr
Doing things without planning, intelligence, and preparation is the Black person way. Floyd's story is basically the same as of that 127 hours guy who got stuck between rocks, or of McCandless. They didn't prepare, didn't take any precautions, didn't inform anyone around, did things in the most dangerous way possible, and got rekt. Their fate is tragic but hard to empathize with. And Floyd wasn't exploring the cave for some epic exploration spirit, he was trying to make a buck by turning his land into a tourist hotspot. Which ironically happened because of his death lmao.
Most South Americans love cave diving, it's massive over there.
>cave diving
South Americans call it cave diving, everyone else calls it sodomy
Why didn't he just carve stairs down to the hole first?
They would have gotten him out if hundreds of people didn't go into the cave and set up fires right outside it messing it all up.
>Aggregates board content and shitposts
>makes money from it
>board then talks about it signal boosting
I hate you all so much

>I'm supposed to hate the guy and hope he doesn't make money for some reason
Why
And?
I hope rusty cage cleared enough gravel for flyod to touch his weiner
Becuase they were in bumfrick nowhere in 1903. Hindsight is 20/20 and the experts weren't involved till too late.
imagine being stuck for 6 days. that sounds brutal
How bad did the tunnel smell after a few days of shitting and pissing
Reminder that this guy brought a bunch of newbies here with his shitty Cinemaphile videos
yea lemme just squeeze through there
I wouldn't go near a cave like that for all the money in the world, I just don't get it. Crawling like a fricking molerat through those tunnels sounds like my worst nightmare, and there are people doing that shit for fun?
people who do it for fun are actual headcases. same with those dudes that free climb and shit. theyre no different to that schizo grizzly guy treadwell
Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope, dont care whatever magical cave lies on the other side, nightmare tier.
frick this
I just don't fricking understand why he was clearing rocks so far down
there was barely anyone moronic enough to go through the first chute let alone the squeeze, why the frick wasn't he clearing out rocks from the start so it would be easier for literally anyone to follow him?
unironically freaks me out and makes the hair on the back of my neck stick up every time I watch it
The squeeze doesn't seem to bad to be honest, not sure why people were scared, on the other hand the hole where he got stuck is really fricking tiny.
what was his endgame exactly? what's in these fricking caves?
>UHH HE'S CALLED INTERNET HISTORIAN HE CAN'T MAKE VIDEOS THAT ISN"T ABOUT INTERNET PHENOMENA
>the squeeze caved in
>floyd laid there alone for several days with no food or water
>light went out
>he died around 24 hours later thinking he'd just been abandoned
Imagine that last day. Fricking jesus man. I'm never going into a cave.
I'm convinced cave explorers have some kind of vore fetish or something.
Some men really just like being underground.
"Cool hole bro."
>"Thanks."
>"Wanna help me dig?"
"Hell yeah."
literally 6-14 yo me everytime I went to the beach
Women just don't get it.

Because men are civilization builders, women are just baby incubators.
>I'm never going into a cave.
Ye you should choose an other outdoor activity like hiking/camping in the woods
im europoor we only have gnomes in our forests
imagine if the rock came down on floyd's neck instead of his ankle hahaha
>cave starts sagging as soon as people start crowding around it and there's a flurry of activity inside/nearby
>Floyd initially wanted to turn this into a tourist attraction
I feel like I'm the only one wondering how the frick this could've been turned into a tourist attraction if the heat of nearby fires was enough to start melting the entire place down? I know you can solidify the structure with wooden beams eventually but still.
>know you can solidify the structure with wooden beams eventually but still.
I'm guessing he wanted to take a look inside the "crystal room" before making that decision, and if it was actually as beautiful as he had suspected, he would've shored everything up and dug it out so you could crawl on your hands and knees instead of wriggling like a worm.
I'm surprised that the dude somehow survived 250 hours lying on a cold damp soil unable to move. Even if he were rescured he probably didn't have a chance of surviving longterm
As soon as I realized I had more odds of not making it, I would've asked for someone to slit my throat. Especially when it became a real possibility that the cave would erode further and leave him trapped with no light, food and water.
>tried to trap the last guy who came to see him
I'm not sure if this was real or just creative license but I was laughing off my ass off at that part.
>"Hey pssst kid, come closer, it's safe here. Why don't you stay here a while... you can ignore the shaking. No haha don't leave, you're so cute"
eh. yeh. sure.
Men would rather climb inside the bowels of some ass-tight cave instead of going to therapy
Cavers are hands down the most annoying people on the planet. They're the "vegans" of having a hobby. They literally do it to get attention and have people saying shit like "oh wow I would never do that, that's crazy" so they can show off how "out there" and "different" they are. One of the people in my friend group does this shit and every single time he brings up how he's going to "explore another one this weekend" I keep hoping that stupid motherfricker gets stuck and dies. They're the type of people who keep bringing it up when nobody cares.
>Hey John, how have you been?
>Yea hit's been hectic man, went through this crazy cave last weekend and scratched myself up, the gap in the wall was like 1 inch thick and I squeezed myself through it hahaha... how? Oh, I don't know, I just do it, it's mind over matter you know?
And jesus christ good luck if you actually feign interest in this shit, they'll start ranting about their homosexual caves at you for like 5 hours, most of which is probably 100% fiction about how last friday they turned themselves into liquid to squeeze through a 1 milimetre gap in the wall of a cave 50 feet down underground and start spouting "caving terms" (which they'll annotate to you as "caving terms" as soon as they mention it). They literally jerk themselves off on the idea of someone asking why they do it or what's the point or if they're scared to get stuck so they can get off on some speech about how they've been doing it for a long time and how if you get scared in a cave you're already dead or some gay shit like that. If you ever meet someone who says they do caving - just ignore it. Don't bring it up. Don't ask, you'll see them anxiously bring it up more and more to a point where they'll literally derail unrelated conversations to let you know they do caving.
>Yeah Idk bro I'm just different.
>Dude has passions and is passionate about something
>You try to bring him down every chance you get.
I bet you live a fulfilling life and have done some really amazing things you are proud of.
Life of the party and everyone loves being around you.

Whats the deal with people being anti-youtube videos
they're flat out more entertaining than legacy media
I'm not anti youtube videos, this guy is just so shit that you know he has bots etc. Bethedsa video is mildly funny and deserves about 500k views. but it has 10 fricking million. more than like .. plinkett phantom menace or the any video you can think of that was the most funny thing you've seen
You know his voice is great, his sense of humor is great and the effort that is put into editing puts him at like 0.001% top creators
>his voice is great
Do people seriously enjoy a kiwi doing a fruity fake British accent?
My two cents I find him on of the few watchable YouTubers. Him and E;R take me back to a comfy 2008-era Cinemaphile
Elon Musk would have saved him
yall make fun of him and then go back to minecraft without seeing the irony
The first organised attempt only started after it was too late.
I'm a professional caver who has been doing this for about a decade and a bit, I've done plenty of tight squeezes. There's actually very little fatalities that come from people getting stuck in this regard, you'd be surprised at how maneuverable the human body can be in tight spaces.
You're more likely to die in caves from falls or flooding not properly anticipated.
I genuinely think he could've wiggled out if he tried harder.
The stone was only like 30 pounds
t.cave
Cringe voice acting, the fact that they all had an outro credits for each of those homosexuals is hilarious
Can someone explain why he was digging in the deepest part of the cave? If it's going to be a tourist attraction he'd have to make it walkable for people, so why not start at the beginning of the cave instead of the end? Why did he do this in the most dangerous way possible?
It led to a cavern that looked really cool, full of unique looking formations and stuff, the rest of the cave that he had gone through so far was unremarkable, so he was trying to clear a way to what he considered an actual selling point for his cave
The majority of people were just gawking like idiots and also couldn't fit in the hole even if they tried
He could have made it out if they just stuck with digging out the gravel like they were doing originally but hindsight is 20/20
The first 5 minutes sent my fight or flight response off the charts

I disagree
>Newspapers suddenly printing stories calling the whole thing a hoax a week into the ordeal
Has the media always been corrupted?
Well to be fair, I also have difficulty believing people as moronic as cavers exist
You thank this guy for a lot of the shit we have now
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Randolph_Hearst
he wanted water. he wasn't thirsty. he knew the end was close and he wanted someone with him.
that was dark.
His last known act was trying to trick a guy into committing a gay suicide with him
What an ass hole. Im glad he's dead.
Parts of the story that feel like bullshit:
1. The Squeeze is presented like some event horizon of danger that everyone except the bravest b***hed out of, but I doubt it was so bad considering they end up casually dipping in and out of it every 5 minutes. I think it was more of a case of people just being unenthused to risk their lives for a local moron who got his ass stuck in a cave for 10th time this week.
2. Floyd is already incoherent 30 hours in but 100 later suddenly starts dishing out cool anime speeches about never surrendering (only paperman was there to hear it hmmmmm), thats not how human bodies work, likely he was borderline braindead for a long time, maybe even comatose
3. I keked when two 'heroes' of the story both went into the cave alone but got absolutely rained upon by 5000lbs rocks (source: dude trust me) so they just HAD to leave. So drama, so badass.
4. I'm supposed to hate the landlord for parading Floyd's body around, but really, if you think about it, Floyd's horseshit ended up costing millions of dollars in unpaid labor and expensive mining equipment carted across state to dig him up
5. I like how his brother gets sick and peaces out of the whole thing ;^)
>they
it was like 3 guys out of the hundred there
>costing millions of dollars in unpaid labor and expensive
Hello moron. Did you miss the part when 10,000 people turned up to the town meaning literally every townsperson made money from this?
Do you think he heard the machines and all the digging?
Once people couldn't bring him food and water any more he probably quickly started being delirious and fading in and out of consciousness again.
Frick surface dwellers
That fricking moron deserved to die
Yes, but not like this.
Dying that way was perfect for the colossal idiot.
It wasn't the first time he got trapped and his friend had to save him
Better not be nutty putty
Cave diver here
One thing that isn't really talked about by normies is how bad the air is down there.
In a cave that's undisturbed for god knows how long, people go in there, there is dust kicked up and you're breathing that shit in.
It's awful.
Your sinuses will be fricked up for weeks after.
It's even worse if the cave's got bats in it, that shit is rank.
That smell stays with you.
Prolly got cancer now.
>Cave diver here
why are you doing the thing that you are doing
>all the best documentary filmmakers are just posting their films for free on youtube and not touching streaming or television
but why
Getting into TV or film is based on nepotism, while online success is based on talent.

>finally someone shows up, rescue!!!

>Breaking News: Cave City Man Says He Won't Give Up The Fight

Imagine taking of his shoes, then pouring vinegar on his soles so a goat starts licking them aggressively.
>Internet Historian? More like Internet My Best Friend
what was the deal with the large cave on the other side? Wasn't that already known and reasonable easy to access? Couldn't they approach from that cave and remove the stone pinning him in place?
no you dummy,. Thats specifically why Floyd risked his life to dig the hole.
I thought he did it to open up a route he could use to do tours and earn money and that other people had already claimed the more accessible cave entrances?
That’s what they ended up doing… to retrieve the body a couple months later
This had to be among the worst ways to die right?
absolutely. In the dark, cold, hungry and thirsty, with a few people giving you hope but failing again and again.
Fricking moron deserved it.
He just went unconscious and died, I doubt he felt much pain past the initial shock, he died from exposure not hunger or thirst
Yeah, but he was dieing the whole time. He had to sit there for hours in the dark, stewing in his own shit and piss freezing and loosing his senses knowing full well the long it went on his odds of surviving plummeted.
To quote him from the vid >I have faced death before; it doesn't frighten me; but it is so -long-
He literally slowly froze/suffocated to death in complete darkness essentially having been burried alive
I understand that it may not have been as painful as say, burned alive, but it still has to be one of the worst ways out of sheer sadness and despair over being buried alive and abandoned
Unless I don't know how hard the rocks were but with all those people around, couldn't they just start breaking down the rocks near the entrance and start making bigger openings?
Dozens of people standing around and no one wanted to start swinging pickaxes and hauling chunks of rocks away to make space.
there's a lot of stone that would need moving and the cave was at risk of collapsing from the get go
the epilogue about his remains is so hilariously disrespectful
>put large rock near guy's head to act as balance point
>bring long bar to act as a lever (they could rivet smaller bars together after taking them through the squeeze)
>???
>free guy plus profit
Hire me. I'm a holing professional
you have no idea how tight that tunnel is
If their arms could fit, then 3 arm-sized bars could fit. After the childhood friend dug him out, a lever makes infinitely more sense than a jack
thy should have got like 100 sticks of butter and melted it on him and just slid him out
I don't want to sound like a weirdo for bringing this up, but he must've died soaked in his excrements?
Sounds really bloody disgraceful.
completely unfunny video. sorry, IH, try again next year.
why didn't he get deep vein thrombosis? People have died from being scrunched up in a car or airplane for only a few hours. He was there for 15 days
It was another time, people were built different
After day 7 or so, even his closest relatives and friends had to been hoping for him to just die at that point.
I'd instantly ask to be stuffed with sleeping drugs or something and to be killed asap, at that point i'd accept i've lost
>6 guys pulling on a rope couldnt dislodge him from the gravel
The problem was that the rope was just pulling him upwards, towards the rocky ceiling, and crushing him
why did gerald leave? he saw some success at digging away some of the gravel but then only showed up later after 5000 morons from out of town drove in and essentially caused a cavein
