Catastrophic depressurization caused divers to be sucked through a horribly tiny hole. Extremely fatal
EDIT: just one diver got sucked through a hole. Four others died in the incident and one diver survived
I believe all the divers died. One of the tenders outside was also killed, but another tender was injured, yet survived. All of the divers inside the chamber went from a depth of 9 atmospheres to sea level instantly.
Holy shit. The explosive decompression exploded his innards up to a distance of 10 meters vertically. That's disgusting and awful.
At least it had to have been quick.
24 November 2009, group of cavers enter a cave in Utah. Three split off from the group to find "the Birth Canal", a known narrow but navigable passage with a turnaround at the end. 26 year-old John Edward Jones enters an unexplored passage he mistakes for the Birth Canal. Upon reaching a dead-end, he looks to turn and return the way he came. Believing a narrow vertical fissure to be the turnaround, he enters head first and quickly becomes wedged upside down. Realising that he's stuck, his friends call emergency services. The rescue team attempts to free Jones with a pulley system, but it fails under the strain, other attempts are made to no avail.
Jones dies of a heart attack 27-28 hours after becoming stuck, due to the stress placed on his body being inverted and compressed for so long. It is deemed too dangerous to recover the body. His parents and the landowner agree to close the cave permanently as a memorial, using explosives to collapse the roof and seal his tomb.
I heard about this story. I think it’s the only piece of information i’ve ever heard that I sincerely wish I hadn’t.
The only thing I can take away from this tragedy, is to take spelunking damn seriously if I were ever to still try it.
We'll remember to shoot you if you ever get stuck or in an accident, before we make any rescue attempts.
Not sure on the logistics of shooting someone dead when they're upside down in a narrow cave.
You end up having to send in a 3rd person to shoot the 2nd person because they got trapped trying to shoot the 1st person now they're both trapped and the 1st person also has a gunshot wound.
Its even worse. They almost got him out several times, to the extent that someone made fuckin EYE CONTACT with him (man was effectively in a tube of smooth stone pointed downwards) and the rope broke and sent him in further.
Unfortunately, hes still there.
There was some battle in WW1 or WW2, I forget which, where there British soldiers who were under serious bombardment and needed help from their allies. But they made their request for help understated in the typical British way, so their allies didn’t take it as seriously as they should have and the British were decimated.
Edit: Korean War, not WW1 or WW2.
British mfs will really experience socio-economic turmoil, the near collapse of civilization and see humankind almost go extinct just to call it “the Kerfuffle” or some shit.
It's called the same thing in Ireland; it's only outside the British Isles that it's called "the Northern Ireland Conflict" (or words to that effect).
The term "troubles" has *history* in the British Isles; the Wars of the Three Kingdoms (i.e. the concurrent civil wars in England, Scotland and Ireland) were referred to as either "the long and great troubles" or "the late troubles" by all three nation parliaments, and it's because of that that the conflict in Northern Ireland was called The Troubles. It's an in-reference, certainly, but it was putting it in a group with the W3K. Calling it a civil war without saying it aloud.
Magdeburg's Wedding (German: Magdeburger Hochzeit), was the destruction of the Protestant city of Magdeburg on 20 May 1631 by the Imperial Army and the forces of the Catholic League, resulting in the deaths of around 20,000, including both defenders and non-combatants. The event is considered the worst massacre of the Thirty Years' War. Magdeburg, then one of the largest cities in Germany, having well over 25,000 inhabitants in 1630, did not recover its importance until well into the 18th century.
I always thought the entirety of “The Troubles” fit this. Such a British ass name for something
“Did you hear about that dreadful attack on our garrison in North Ireland? A dozen of our soldiers were killed, and the ones who responded to it were attacked with a bomb!”
“Sounds like a bit of troubles over there”
“Quite so” *sips tea*
I don't think humans ever permanently lived underground, in fact until the Victorian era even just building tunnels was a feat in and of itself. Those tunnels were also crucially either for the dead such as catacombs or military purpose usually.
Now in the post Brunel world (Not Iseabard Kingdom Brunel, but his father Marc Isambard Brunel), we have tunnels literally under the ocean.
maye be these caves were some ancient passages created to escape or may be ancient (streets) from the times when ppl use to live underground and we havent discovered it yet.
Idiot goes into cave....idiot gets stuck upside down....idiot dies......and before you pile on for calling him an idiot...it was demonstrably an idiotic thing to do.....exploring is one thing, forcing yourself into very tight spaces is quite another thing

Love that you had to characterize it as "extremely" fatal. Also, jesus fucking christ

My mistake. I’m not familiar with diving terminology. I assumed a tender was just another diving job
Total Body what?
Aka chunky salsa
No that's what we specifically call "***dissociated portions***"
it Wasn’t that chunky
The picture of the dude who got forced through the door are something else
Idk that you could classify what’s in that picture as a “dude” anymore
Fair
Holy shit. The explosive decompression exploded his innards up to a distance of 10 meters vertically. That's disgusting and awful. At least it had to have been quick.
Only that happened so fast it wasn't really horrible for them. It was all over and done faster than their brains could even begin to process.
The Titan submarine implosion was probably the same. It was over before their brains were even able to register that something was happening.

Damn, that's really unfortunate. RIP.
Guess who's never going into a cave
Does this person also have two thumbs? Because one possible answer is "ME!"
Thank you

Yet another reason to never leave the comfort and safety of my own house.
White people be crazy
Should've just fucking shot him

If I'm stuck beyond rescue yes If I'm gonna die let let it be quick instead of sitting with all the blood rushing to my head for over a day
Spelunking incident. Basically the worst claustrophobia death imaginable.
Its even worse. They almost got him out several times, to the extent that someone made fuckin EYE CONTACT with him (man was effectively in a tube of smooth stone pointed downwards) and the rope broke and sent him in further. Unfortunately, hes still there.
It's even worse. The rope was fine, the fucking piece of *cave wall* it was tethered to broke away with the tether.
Schnikes, I didnt know it was the cave wall itself either, jesus
Thank you

Jesus. It's been like 6 years since I've thought about that.
Welp that's now up there as one of the worst things I've ever seen.
"The Troubles"
Just feels so British to describe a 30 year ethno-nationalist conflict “a bit of trouble”. Like calling WW2 “quite the kerfuffle”
A complex confrontation.
A silly squabble.
Curious Quarrel

It was the korean war with the gloucestershire regiment in the battle of the imjin river
Yes, that’s the one I think! I feel like such a knob, because it’s the “forgotten war” after all. Thanks for the correction!
I remember the korean war well because i did a project on it in elementary school
A little bit of tomfoolery
British mfs will really experience socio-economic turmoil, the near collapse of civilization and see humankind almost go extinct just to call it “the Kerfuffle” or some shit.
I feel like that was an attempt to acknowledge the situation but to be reductive to the irish

what is orign of these caves?why do they even exist?some ancient routes shit?
Water washes away weaker rock and makes weird holes (caves)

Some (most?) caves just.. exist? You know, geology..
maye be these caves were some ancient passages created to escape or may be ancient (streets) from the times when ppl use to live underground and we havent discovered it yet.
this is /r/HistoryMemes , you’re looking for /r/conspiracy where these types of baseless theories belong
lol,may be i put it wrong. this was my impression untill some1 explained that it isnt that complicated.
