“Scary Interesting”
In this video, we’re going to go over two more of the worst disasters in history. I have to warn you: although these two accidents are completely different, they’re both absolutely horrifying nightmare scenarios. Probably some of the worst that have been covered on this channel. So, although…

If you think apartheid was so bad, please do a follow up video of South Africa today. 🙏
A father of a friend of mine when I was in high school was in a mine accident where the train car to descend into the mine had a brake failure. There was no speedometer, so he has no idea how fast he was going, but he ended riding the loop at the bottom for several minutes until the car was slow enough to jump off of. He had no idea if he would survive a derailment at that speed. There wasn't even any documentation of a near miss. Just a work order to repair the brakes.
I have been FALLING for THIRTY MINUTES!
goal of everyone everywhere,
don't end up on scarry interesting 😅
Dudes just rambling on about nonsense this is annoying 🤮
Dead man switch, hahaha, my father was an engineer and he and many other engineers used to put a fuse/road flare on the pedal of the switch to hold it down. I witnessed it many times as a kid when I got to ride on the engine. Smh.
So sugar is indeed harmful
Correction: Apartheid was a system of institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination in South Africa, with white people enjoying superior rights and privileges over black, colored, and Indian people.
The ruling class = white people. Let's call a spade a spade.
I know the molasses story was horrible…but can we all recognize there was only one human on earth that rode a tidal wave of molasses on his bed thru town picking up his sister on the way?…..I thought I heard it all!
imagine getting vaporised because a fucking train derailed and broke your elevator
I didn’t except an ad for elevator parts when I clicked on this video but I guess it is fitting
Not much different from the super pit in Kalgoorlie. I left there due to very dangerous conditions that were ACTIVELY ignored.
Both stories are incredibly frustrating, especially the molasses one. They knew it was badly constructed, and the man with the shards in his hands being ignored was the worst. RIP to those poor souls who died because of shoddy construction and the USIA avoiding obvious issues until it was too late.
Damn, I've seen some dumb racist shit (I'm American), but I've never seen segregated stairwells before.
I've been wanting someone to cover Vaal Reefs for years now and no one ever does! i mostly just wanted to understand how the train ended up in the mine shaft. thank you!
Also, on a positive note, I am glad that you also covered that the owners were found guilty of murder, an investigation happened, and workers got compensation – and how different that was from apartheid. It was a horrific accident that should never have happened, but thank God it at least didn't happen 6 years earlier.
The first two men responding to the first accident must have never been the same. Imagine spending 60 hours in that hell on earth.
Such a shame that a formerly semi prospering country, S. Africa, is now close to becoming a fourth world nation.
Dense urban cityscapes now needing to be avoided just to keep your life because of the animals that roam those streets and buildings… being like roaches and scavenging anything left while not bothering to upkeep anything built and lacking intelligence to build anything new…
I always try and think of the noises you would hear if you could witness these events as a ghost.
As a SamONella enjoyer i am well familiar with the 2nd story
I dont think I need to say this, but somebody had to seriously f*** up in order for a TRAIN to fall into a MINE .
Why fall over a kilometer just walk around it 💀
"There's nothing to be concerned about as the tank is still standing" has to be one of the most fate tempting responses to be spoken.
As one historic figure have said "Molasses clearly does not play".
What the fuck is a kilometer?
Uhhhh, Johannesburg is NOT the capital of SA.
The face I made when I suddenly realized what the second story in this video was going to be…. Oh man.
Owners being automatically guilty of murder unless they can prove proper safety measures were taking is a super based law.
