How fascinating. I can't imagine finding a deep hole in a mountain range and thinking "You know what? I'm going down there."
Ah, yes. The fear of heights and claustrophobia, all in one.
That guy was insane to attempt to go down that cave by himself, I don't care how much experienced a caver he was that was insane.
The biggest irony here is that to get into the cave, you have to go up a 7500 foot mountain--which means that even once you are at the deepest point of the cave, you are still higher up than when you started.
So the russian team members saved Jeff´s and Robbie´s lives as they let the less experienced climbers go ahead while they stayed back down in the rising flood. These guys are incredibly brave.
13:18 "One team member was even carrying a stove and four sleeping bags attached to his harness." WHAT A LEGEND
"One team member was even carrying a stove and four sleeping bags attached to his harness." Guy hauling all that ensuring his buddies will eat and sleep as well as possible in such a dire situation, what a badass!
The fact that Sergei had researched and planned out this trip for a year and didn’t bring stirrups for his ascenders is mind boggling
i cannot even begin to fathom the mind of that man. he hiked up a mountain in the Caucuses in the winter to the worlds deepest cave, by himself, without telling anyone where he was going. then went down into the cave for days in total solitude and darkness. it's utterly brainless how he went about it but the sheer confidence and willpower he had is just incredible to me.
I found a skeleton when I was young while caving in Ireland, I reported it and never heard anymore about it after showing them where it was, it had clearly been there a very long time, but it was still haunting to imagine a person sitting down for the final time in this dark pocket in the earth
I can only imagine the unparalleled fear hearing then seeing the water pouring/flooding down, WHEN YOURE ALREADY 6,800 FEET DOWN A CAVE. The fact that people even went 7,200 feet underground in a CAVE is mental. Then again, we literally have been on the moon. Humans are nuts.
Sadly a few years later the groups leader Pavel Demidov died in another cave in the same area I forget it’s name but he had gone back to get some more rope for him and his caving partner and his buddy noticed he had been away longer than normal so he went back and saw that some rocks fell on Pavel and killed him. He was a very knowledgeable brave cave spelunker.😞
I have been to a cave before. Unexplored as far as I could tell. I walked in as far as the light reached….. then every fiber of my being told me to exit immediately. That was my caving career. Idk whats going on with these people that causes them to be completely immune to fear.
Can we take a moment to realize that this cave is so deep, complex, and isolated, that if any explorer's light source were to go out, it would mean guaranteed death.
Mad respect to the Russian guy who managed to carry a stove and other equipments through that torrential whirlpool of water and emerged at the other end without any scratch. Such a badass!
I'm genuinely shocked no one died in that first story. Those people are incredibly strong. The guy with the stove deserves more props!
Listening to the "main story" of the original cave explorers with the water gushing in was HORRIFYING!!! I was so worried for them the entire time and the fact they made it out alive was AMAZING, especially the guy carrying 4 sleeping bags and half a kitchen - after the ordeal he just sat and had a cup of tea and was LAUGHING?!!! MANIAC!
I've had to deal with two rotten bodies in caves here in Jamaica over the years. The smell is horrible, but as for deadly gases from the decomposition - not in my experience. I suppose if it were in a very confined space it might be different. RS Stewart - Jamaican Caves Organisation.
Thank you for being one of the only disaster/tragedy channels with actual dynamic narrative ability. Seriously. Some drone on almost unbearably, thinking their voices have to sound as grim as the content. Others get caught in the same inflection loops through the whole video. Narration really is a talent. Thanks for having it. Cheers!
I can’t imagine the fear he felt before he went to sleep for the last time. He was wet and freezing unable to get himself back up to the camp likely knowing he wasn’t going to get back out of that cave. He probably thought of his family who would never know what happened to him or where to even begin looking for him. I hope he didn’t suffer for long.
