The 3D rendition of the cave structure at 5:09 is so well-done in showing how far down Floyd was. I can't imagine how brave he was to go cave-exploring on his own.

@D.W. Stratton its not the gov job to make your life easy or better.

@Jess H only middle aged people can use certain words in YouTube comments. Got it. I certainly couldn't have been affecting a polite tone on purpose, it's because I'm old. I use proper grammar and punctuation on the internet as well, must mean I'm old, not that I care in a personal way about clear communication, right?

@Galen Schultz You sound pretty old. You're at least 50, using Mr. in a youtube comment.

@MoonmanHayatei so how did his brother end up with a better job?

@MoonmanHayatei so how did his brother end up with a better job?

@ChaosAndBunnies the Unabomber was wrong while being right. Civilization and it's consequences (including the industrial revolution) have been a disaster for the human race.

@Caleb OKAY I'm sorry, but did you just repackage the Unabomber manifesto?

My man really went "The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race."

@Galen Schultz Ok I won't put words in your mouth then, even though I've literally copied 2 things you actually said.
People weren't "built different" back in the day. They were built exactly the fucking same as we are now. There was simply no available technology that existed for the government to be capable of helping out huge swathes of people who actually needed welfare.
And your idea of people's grandparents not expecting the government to be a safety net is bullshit too. My grandparents grew up during WWII. They literally expected their government to save their entire nation from being destroyed. So....
Saying we should be wary of welfare is a ridiculous statement. Not everyone on earth is some kind of rugged individual who can fend for themselves.

@President Panda Is there any progress that is not good?

Also, that's poppycock. If it were just as popular then, we'd not have all the intervening reality from which to progress to modern day.

@Galen Schultz It was just as fashionable back then as it is now. Just because you personally do not see the progress made as a good thing, doesn't mean it isn't.

@President Panda I didn't say the idea was recent. I said it's only been recently fashionable with any great number of people. I try to pick my words carefully. I also didn't say societal welfare, I said the attitude toward the state of parent/safety officer/source of sustenance.

Also, I don't think it's so easy to label everything we've done to our living and working conditions as "better". I also think it's going to be fruitless to have the conversation.

Capitalism and the industrial revolution started is sumerian times? When human started farming and wasn't bound to foraging for food all day they build giant cities to live in, and form communities govern by leaders, farmers had yearly quotas to fulfill or (in most civilization) face severe consequences. The industrial revolution and capitalism brought abundance in food and freedom of labor, the poorest person of today still lives a better life then the serfs and slaves of yesterday, your hatred is missguided, the thing you should hate is democracy, in the end only liars and cheats reach the top there.

@Galen Schultz everyone seems to be cutting your head off but I really agree with what your saying friend.

@Galen Schultz what special wisdom is gained from contracting silicosis from silica dust in a mine in Kentucky, Dying in your mid thirties? At least the nanny state didn’t test your employer’s mine for dust levels?  Rugged individualism is a psyop to let people with way more money than you off the hook for poisoning their workers.

@Galen Schultz In what way is the concept of a societal welfare a recent idea? There were entire revolutions and political movements in the late 19th and the entire 20th century to create better living conditions and working conditions.

@Caleb OKAY a man after my own heart. There are people working on this problem, of you're interested. In my opinion their focus on saving civilization while throwing out the bad stuff is futile, but there's multiple angles folks are attempting to solve the problem you laid out. Game B, the Dark Renaissance, there's some deep thinkers out there if you're interested in some cave exploration of your own.

@Morgan Everything you mention is form the 19th century, which is the century that began the collapse of mankind. In the past when people were more self sufficient, I mean as far back as Medieval Europe, their lives were far better and more fulfilling. There are millions of mis conceptions about the past, and when you actually dive into real history, you start to realize just how better life used to be compares to today. The industrial revolution is objectively the worst thing to happen to mankind. We were better off before the concept of capitalism and the hyper police states we live in today existed.

@ChaosAndBunnies It's not a "kids these day" rant it's a fact lmao. The reason why people think the government needs to be a safety net is thanks to the industrial revolution and the advent of socialism. See, before we were industrialized centralized governments and government control was always seen as a bad idea. In the past people would have too be self sufficient. That is an objective fact. Thanks to capitalism and the industrial revolution, the working class was abused like never before. People stopped being self sufficient and started living in big cities and working in huge factories, using advanced tools for farming as all the land was slowly being bought  out by robber barons and corporations. This environment is what led to the invention of socialism, and now here we are. <br>Anyways, nanny states suck, capitalism sucks, and the modern world sucks.

I always come to Internet Historian to feel claustrophobic and uncomfortable

@Youdontget that’s a pretty lazy interpretation. If you never had the bravery to risk anything in life, you would never accomplish anything. It was either this, or die in poverty with his drunk dad. At least he brought his community together and died on his feet… in a manner of speaking.

@Thicc Thicc Thicc I can tell you one thing I certainly don't like is you putting words in my mouth. Kind of you to take the worst possible meaning you might attribute to my words and run with it. A credit to our political system, you are.

@ChaosAndBunnies What's your point? Your words mean nothing.

@ChaosAndBunnies What's your point? Your words mean nothing.

Brave? Lol<br>Brave is when you risk your life saving a woman from being kidnapped or sacrificing your life to save that of a loved one. Crawling into an extremely dangerous cave for no good reason is pure stupidity.

@Galen Schultz TFW you're built so different you don't like it when people help those in need.

@Isaac Morgan difference between him and other people who go into caves is other people do it for fun and die,he did it because he needed money and died. A much better reason when you have no other option because the states only form of attraction is fucking caves of all things. Sounds like a bad place to live imo.

@Isaac Morgan he was either gonna go homeless,cause he needed fucking money, or die trying for a better life. He never expected to die down there of course, but he damn well didn’t plan on being poor. You should know this if you watched the vid, he needed money.

@Morgan I disagree that it is inherently noble because everything has tradeoffs. You are never given something, there is always, always, always a price. You are never given safety, because safety from one danger must mean exposure to another. For instance a helicopter parent might keep their child safe from the dangers of falling off playground equipment but at the cost of a child learning to manage their own physical risk. Don't be so hasty to sign up for things "given" to you.

@Galen Schultz my brother in christ, be that as it may we have an obligation to those who come after us to make the world better than we found it. Being built different meant people dying at 19 of black lung, or being caught in threshing machines, or a monopoly buying your house for pennies on the dollar because they found oil underneath the foundations. Giving people security and safety so they can contribute healthily to society is an inherently noble thing.

I noticed you'd spelled it "brave" instead of its proper spelling "idiocy"

@colin young Mr. Young, you've the words of an old soul.

@colin young Mr. Young, you've the words of an old soul.

@ChaosAndBunnies Interesting you went after me and not the guy moralizing over "gubmint those days" instead. And look at yourself, inserting yourself into a conversation you weren't a part of, in the comment section on a documentary of a man slowly dying alone in a cave even. Very classy.

@Galen Schultz The utter disconnect from the reality is astonishing. If no one is productive who is failing who then? Nature doesn't do handouts.

@D.W. Stratton Kentucky has failed damn near everyone that's ever lived there. Harlan County USA is probably the greatest documentary ever made and that's basically about how shit it is to live and work in Kentucky.

@Galen Schultz You're really gonna pull a "kids these days" rant on a documentary of a man slowly dying alone in a cave. Very classy.

@D.W. Stratton In death, sure, but remember that once upon a time people didn't expect the government to be their parents/safety officer/source of sustenance. It is in fact only VERY recently that this became fashionable among any large number of people. Your grandparents would remember that's not normal. Probably your parents too. People were made different, once, because the world is not nice and they intimately knew that.

@J It's desperation from financial destitution and a brazen hope for a better life. The United States and the state of Kentucky failed this man and his family in life and for another 60+ years after his death.


I will never understand people that willingly put themselves in these kinds of situations. It's the embodiment of "fuck around and find out".


This makes 127 hours look like child's play


I choked when I looked up, having had the video on as bg noise, and saw Wendigoon staring back.


Couldn't get him out with an army.
In 1 week, 7 guys got him
Wtf


It's terrifying. I knew how this story ended, but knowing HOW CLOSE they got absolutely hurt.

I've seen another video on this and only now realize how many mistakes they made trying to rescue him. It's good to know the effort wasn't hopeless. Rescue was very foreseeable.

@Erwann Mariot this is legit why i will never do caving without a way or two to off my self cause FUCK dieing like this

Knowing that if it hadn't rained he would probably hve been rescued is soul-crushing. His story and similar ones make me so anxious. I would have asked to be killed by the third day or something.


This is the most intense youtube video I've ever watched.


the "he was dead..." just hit me like a large fucking truck...


And this kids, is why I'm never going caving


You should do Woodstock 99 next, the Fyre Festival of Rock festivals


From scary, to uplifting to depressing, to batshit insane.

That’s my life. All of those in that order- over and over.

I hope the father and the man that made a tourist attraction out of Floyd's body burn in hell.


Wow, sometimes reality is crazier than fiction


bro went from internet historian to full on historian


The squeeze is the most uncomfortable and horrifying experience to be stuck


"This is MY hole! It was made for me!" - Floyd or something idk


Floyd had the best friend and best brother in the whole world.  I cannot imagine how hard it must have been to just drop everything and just rush to save someone in just a slow and painful way of digging him out.

True logalty, true brotherhood. Those 3 men though not all related were the embodiment of the word family.

bro the minecraft cave sound at an hour and 5 minutes scared the shit out of me because i was playing minecraft but i was above ground so i was sitting here for like a good 5 minutes tryna figure out what was going on


50:41 "It's a good old fashion hole diggin. By gar it's been a while"


It’s crazy that an animated video with wendigoon as the protagonist can still mess with my claustrophobia

It's not about the animations but the story itself. I got no claustrophobia but the idea of being stuck in some cave like that terrified me from the first couple minutes.

@HexCodeFF dude, its fucking animated, let it go.

@Glass of Water my long lost brother, at last.

@Jade Greenleaf He's probably a twitter leftist who thinks "ratio" is a simple command that he can use to get his braindead followers to like his comment instead of an organic counter-reaction to someone being incredibly stupid by getting more comments mentioning how stupid they are than likes on their tweet.

@[BB] animation is the illusion of motion, correct. Yet, the displayed motion can't exist itself, virtually, digitally or in reality. Otherwise it would include any and  all displays of motion via video.
Any movie would therefore be animation. That is why I take issue with your definition and prefer mine.
I would call this video a "motion graphic".

edit: A useful rule to figure out whether or not something can be called an animation is to ask the question whether or not you can draw a vector between two frames of the sequence.
Yes: Then it is puppetry/motion graphics.
No: Then it is animation, most likely.

What your definition of animation doesn't include either are non-video animations, like flip-books or zoetropes, which include the only form of 3D animation ever created.

@HexCodeFF Animation is just the illusion of motion by displaying still figures in a sequence of poses. Which is exactly what this video is. CGI is just computer generated imagery - it can be animated or static depending on how its used.

I think Wendy just messes with my claustrophobia by his manly randy eyes

I don’t even have claustrophobia, but fuck that shit!

You're alright mate, now you're just typing in a tight little box with no escaping or breaching the confines of, inside two windows that exiting will lead to a dead end screen (most likely of some anime chick that's underage seeing how you're a gamer).

I get why some people call CGI "animated", but why this?

the squeeze part gave me chills and made me light headed

I am on 7th minute, yet "FU*K NO" counter is already beyond two digit line :D

Dude for real. I'm only six minutes in and I'm freaking out!

I don’t even have claustrophobia normally and this is still actively triggering primal fear in me!

This is why I'm never going into a cave, even if they paid me for it. Hell no

I know right? As someone with claustrophobia this video still manages to mess with it.

i didn't mean to shoot that vietnamese farmer but-

@DodgeThis! wtf do you mean you dont even have a single like


What if Homer would stand back against the rock towards/above Floyd and push the rope down towards the other side with his foot while everyone else was pulling? That should've made the rope pull more horizontally. I'm sure some of the power would be lost but with that many men pulling could it have been enough force and towards the right direction?

.....fuck... That was the plan but the mob fucked him over. Shit. :(

Hey and 30:30 when his torso is available the rope can be secured around more of his body and it wouldn't cause as much trauma when being pulled.


Thanks to Tanks of War for sponsoring this pertinent videographic excretion.

this is the best episode of peaky blinders i've ever watched!


I'm so infuriated by the way the public ended up making this so much harder. I was so fucking relieved when Gerald finally made everyone leave. Get you a friend like Gerald, someone who tells everyone their support is best appreciated from a distance because their physical presence is making it worse.

i honestly think the mob of peasants hanging around to see whats up were not even aware that their presence was doing damage to the cave's structural integrity.<br>think how stupid people in general are even by todays standards, and then think how bad it must have been back in the early 1900's where large portions of most country's populations were still illiterate, and even if everyone was literate they still had no internet and were still relatively isolated in their home countries.

Literally! Gerald was such a good friend

This is why rescue services tell you to get back nowadays. The public only makes things so much worse.

@NotSoClassy that's the exact reason that history is taught. We must acknowledge past mistakes and shitty decisions, lest they are done again and history repeats itself. Unfortunately, even when we have the upper hand of knowing the history, people think you can do the same thing with different results. It's moronic.

Let's be honest the American public would still do the same shit today that they did then, history always repeats it self very consistently

Yeah now you know why the founders only wanted land owners to vote. People that had skin in the game. Most people are sheep and beg to be led and in turn they want the rest of us thinkers to be shackled with them.

@pedro vega wtf? y would you "blame" him, that was somehting positive

@Ekkehard B. I don't blame him I would be ashamed if I didn't try my best In this situation

Gerald also moved half a ton of the rock off him on his first go

@Mayo Poppins <br>gerlad should have dropped a big rock from the ten foot drop onto floyd

@Mayo Poppins
gerlad should have dropped a big rock from the ten foot drop onto floyd

@UnknownGamer40464 i knoww, i was literally so mad, i cried a bit honestly 😞😞

Way too late though, maybe they could've saved him if not for them weakening the integrity of the cave early on


I remember hearing about this for the first time when I was a kid from the Black Stone Cherry song


Bro the medal of honour allied assault music used definitely goes well!!


"G O D  W O R K S  I N  M Y S T E R I O U S  W A Y S"
   "I T 'S  A P A R T  O F  T H E  P L A N"

     "Y'all profited off of Floyd Collins' tragedy, didn't ya? Gawking sumbitches."


About 4:50 though and my claustrophobia has got me feeling like I'm in the Turnaround Room.


Floyd luring the man down during the cave in just so he wouldnt be the only one trapped actually scared me pretty bad.

Yeah, that was so haunting. Really, really dark.

@Demoulius<br>He claimed he was thirsty but then refused once offered a drink. He definitely knew he was about to be truly trapped, and wanted someone there with him.

@Demoulius
He claimed he was thirsty but then refused once offered a drink. He definitely knew he was about to be truly trapped, and wanted someone there with him.

I think he just didn’t wanna be alone, he knew that a cave in would happen and he just wished that someone else was there with him but alas he was left alone

I dont think he was trying to lure him into certain death, I think he was genuinely desperate to be helped out asap. And who knows how it would have gone if someone was around to dig from 2 sides of the tunnel at the same time. Maybe they would have succeeded.

@Aesir Unlimited would've died from dehydration waay before he starved

@Aesir Unlimited not to mention he'd have to piss and shit all over where his head is.

Reminds me of Matt Damon's character in Intersteller.

It's really heartening to know I'm not the only one who got super freaked out by that. It's not like you can blame him for doing it, but god, the panic really set in in that moment for me.

It’s probably for the best that he was alone. If the dude was trapped in there with him he probably would’ve killed him and then cannibalized his corpse until the rescuer’s came.

It gave me chills but you can’t really blame Floyd, he was at his wits end. I can’t imagine how painful it was seeing the person crawl away as the tunnel caved in.

Also if your wondering what death by exposure (the reason Floyd died) means it’s basically being to hot or cold. Like dying in a snow storm would be death from exposure.


i would pay for this content to see in a theater ngl


Probably shoulda expanded the turn around rooms entrance first.


I like the “wolf among us” theme it’s a beautiful game


if they just kept removing the gravel instead of trying all that weird different stuff...


I don't fault that one guy for abandoning him when the section of the cave was about to collapse but its still heartbreaking.

@Francesco Mazzei Floyd probably would've lived if someone was there with him.

@hula hula He surely would have had better chances, though having your blood down in your feet for many days maybe would be a problem.

Imagine if he stayed, and ended up getting save by the digging crew

A death man is better than two death men


i am still shocked they threw his body into a bush


I'm getting an ad exactly every two and a half minutes. I'm watching on console so these ads are double and most of which can't be skipped, I like this channel but I'm 20 minutes in and I've watched all the ads I possible can at this point. Doesn't matter how good this video is it isn't worth the amount of ads I'm being forced to watch.


at the end i was just waiting for the host to say SIKE but he never did.


Really became interested with the video name being "Man in Cave." It's such a brilliant tittle.

Hi thanks for watching congratulations you have been selected among my shortlisted Halloween winners text me to claim a prize now.


the way Internet Historian presented the story is better than most high-budget documentaries out there, truly tense

@DomDiggity

I would tell you to get Grammarly, but this is too incoherent to be fixed. Are you trying to type on a McDonald's touch screen?

Documentaries never made me feel anything, this video did. I would rather watch this 1 hour video than a 30 minute documentary. He can talk about anything and make it enjoyable. There's humorous moments, there's tense moments, and its just a nice experience all around.

"Lol you must not have actually seen any actual high budget documentaries than" -- Said under a comment where someone compares this to high-budget documentaries (which he supposedly hasn't seen).

@DomDiggity can you reccomend some that interest you?

@DomDiggity ahh, don't be such a Domdiggity downer

Lol you must not have actually seen any actual high budget documentaries than… I hate these types of comments that try hard to exaggerate a video to justify it

That's because modern filmmakers of any kind are dogshit.

Internet Historian had nothing to do with it, this was all WORLD OF TANKS BABY!!

Better than most movies too. Don't worry though, some out of touch Hollywood asshole will try to capitalize on this story only for it to come out as some half assed trash.

Someone just give Internet Historian a 50 million dollar budget and let him do it for fuck's sake.

who needs a production crew of 40? Give this man premiere and 10 layers!


Hey historian, you should do a recap of the gme/amc stock saga that’s been raging on


I wanna know how this ends, but the story is told in such an obnoxious way… that i can’t and will never know.


so technicially all those people who just stood around where the reason for the cave in?


infinite coldness of the universe: 0<br>indomitable human spirit: 1

infinite coldness of the universe: 0
indomitable human spirit: 1


This story is such a rollercoaster of emotions... hope, belief in human kindness and sacrifice, disgust at selfishness, sadness over a terrifying death of a man who only wanted a good life through his hard work...

@👺samurai boi The Gawkers never went in and those that did turned back. I said that the people who went in and fed him were cool- the gawkers who sat outside lighting fires and doing nothing but destabilizing the cave were complete jackasses though. His brother? COol. The Reporter? Cool. The Fireman? Cool. The cave stability checking folks? cool. The miners? Cool. The gawkers who sat there and watched served no purpose and not only did nothing helpful but actively contributed to killing Floyd because their fires unfroze all the snow and ice holding the cave stable. Please learn basic reading comprehension.

@lucas mcalpine they if you call them bad people why they go in there to fucking feed him put up a whole as mining station plus having almost two presidents dealing it and thats during his alive times and even after his death that one team still had compassion to bring him to peace.

well, In a bitter sweet fate all of us know floyd's story and what he had done

The only ones I was mainly mad at (So far, I haven't seen all of it) was the gawkers. The firefighter, the reporter, the cave team, they all did their best, against their judgement telling them to leave, going into the tightest area with spikey painful crystals along it. Yet many people who fixed themselves as "Heroes" weren't willing to be courageous, to be determined, to do their damnest despite the obvious danger. I'm no hero, I couldn't do that but those people were sickening if I'm being honest.


Wait… this isn’t internet history. This is just regular history…


58:03 hey thats Jeff's voice from storymode 🙂


Oh, my mom used to take me and my siblings on tours of Mammoth Cave when I was a kid


I don't have claustrophobia but I was starting to have a panic attack when in the first mention of the 9 inch hole


Crawling into your own cold, dark grave with no way out and dying alone in absolute darkness is easily one of the <b>worst</b> fates imaginable.

Crawling into your own cold, dark grave with no way out and dying alone in absolute darkness is easily one of the *worst* fates imaginable.

@Giorgio Bergonzoni These people are fumny😂 Everything was created by god and happens by his will, yet he has to bear 0 responsibilites as you "cAnT bLaMe gOd". Make it make sense

@Arthur Duckett Hell is anti human because an infinite punishment is disproportionate compared to a finite bad action, or sin, which is even more problematic since the concept of sin has changed quite a lot over millennia and over different denominations. Fun fact: once I met a christian who believed that hell existed but it was actually empty because "jesus forgives everyone", I thought it was a nice way of "fixing" hell

@Arthur Duckett Secular humanitarianism is a thing. Also hell is a inherently evil concept.

@Arthur Duckett Quite a few, actually. (Or well, opened not in the name of any particular faith or lack thereof.) Religion doens't have a monopoly on kindness and generosity my guy.

@Geri Ott How is believing in hell anti human and evil? How many soup kitchens and orphanages have been opened in the name of atheism?

@DrTuSo great recommendation, Fascinating Horror has a great video on it that makes my skin crawl just thinking about it!

There is something worst : being born as Neillan.

@Kat S. <br>Nobody forced him in there in the first place.

@Kat S.
Nobody forced him in there in the first place.

@Zuniroa Buddy, who supposedly created EVERYTHING including all the rules that make good people deserving of eternal torture? How is it that you God doesnt give a fuck if you have done good deeds, but only cares that you are a slave to him or else be punsihed? Free will? Did my free will create cancer  and earthquakes? Fuck religion.

@Cory C Are you seriously using this as a way to push your religion? You're saying "if you don't follow my religion then this is your fate". Its just fear mongering and it's honestly disgusting. For a religion that's supposed to be based on love, it sure takes a lot of fear and hate to trick people into joining. Just stop.

@Zuniroa exactly. People dont want to have consequnses at all

@Kat S. Imagine blaming God for your own free will and accord

@Cory C Sorry my nihilistic side shown threw a little there. If you believe that god shares your specific sense of morality that’s your business. Wish you luck either way, and hope you find happiness in whatever way you chose.

@Cory C God may exist, but why would he give two sh*ts about us? Nothing more than primal stupid apes with an exceptional tool making ability.  There is no reality in which a perfect being could be even remotely human, we are just a game of sims.

@Kat S. I mean he was a greedy man so yeah he might’ve fuckin smited him

@Cory C Just how horrible is your religion that that is one of your beliefs you hold strongest and WANT to hold? Disgustingly anti-human and evil and you call it love. Like they say there is no hate like christian love.

@Kat S. Bud, Floyd went into that cave on his own.  The big G will NOT stop you from being stupid.

@Kat S. I don't think god exists as anyone might be able to comprehend. But if there is some sort of conscious decision making high power you must know that god is either not all powerful or not all good.

Don't listen to my SH#T its not ready yet

@Cory C if you believe in god, god is the one who tortured Floyd in the first place.

It's probably what Hell will be like.   I pray we all put out faith in Jesus so we go to Heaven with Him instead.   Hell will be so scary and isolated and dark and disappointing.  I pray you all find the Truth in Jesus of Nazareth.


I don't know why I thought he would survive but I was so disappointed


Whats ironic is now thid video is creeping toward 10M views making Floyds story sensational again for a third time

What a gripping story.  I'm sending this incredibly happy story to my grandmother


already from the first minutes, the video hits fucking intense


Why was Floyd trying to open an entrance to the gypsum caves before opening up the Squeeze first? Did he really think some tourist was going to squeeze through a hole the size of a sandwich to see some rocks?? Like bruh😂😂


They should’ve just put a torch down then all the falling gravel would break


Could anyone find out where the animation of the trees moving at 14:03 is from?

Moral of the story, don't let windegoon enter caves.


They really should've just dug him out from the get-go, but I suppose they didn't have the momentum for it. Sadly, stories like this resulted in the robust rescue operations we have nowadays. If he was trapped down there today instead, he'd probably have been out within a day or two.

For those wondering if Floyd's dream of reaching that section of Crystal Cave was ever realized, here's an excerpt from William Miller's (aka Ordinary Things) wikipedia:

"In 1954, [Miller] returned to the Mammoth Cave National Park area with a group of 32 people (journalists, scientists, and explorers) who were eager to study the famous Crystal Cave that Collins had originally discovered in 1917. They entered it, and spent an entire week exploring; Miller told an Associated Press reporter the Crystal Cave, with its "flower-like formations of gypsum" was like an "orchid paradise" and despite its role in the tragedy of Collins' death, it was still a place of amazing natural beauty"

The sad irony of this is that if he had survived, he would have a direct tunnel to the cave dug for him.

@mrshmuga9 What do you mean how? That quote was almost 40 years later, technology improves, knowledge improves, etc.

I’m glad Collins could discover something so majestic and for it be discovered by the public, despite his tragic end.

@mrshmuga9  well when they we’re talking about how his brother recovered his body they did talk about how they got to the far side of his body and removed the boulder that pinned his leg, so if that’s true then they likely used the same entrance to enter further into the cave later.

@mrshmuga9 they have drones and all sorts of stuff now. And they dug it up

How did they get in though? The cave entrance and dirt hole were covered. If it was accessible, did anyone else ever go back and take pictures?

SHUT THE FUCK UP, I WANNA KNOW IF HE’S ALIIIIIIIVE!!!!

Holy fuck nonono.<br>Just the first 5 god damn minutes was ore horror than I needed in my life.

Holy fuck nonono.
Just the first 5 god damn minutes was ore horror than I needed in my life.


The guy would have survived if they just thought about the problem for a few moments... Like pulling him directly up? Like wtf were they thinking?


so glad wendigoon got an hour long sponsor video


This story has it all: unspeakable claustrophobic terror, Kentucky carney hijinks, the unrelenting perseverance of the human spirit, wacky 1920s technology, and a whole bodysnatching epilogue. It really is gut-churningly horrifying and a completely absurd comedy of errors at the same time and nobody could have told it better.

@NTDM so he had a weeks worth of shit in his pants?

Still missing how he managed to shit while stuck down there though🤔

I could see this as a Coen brothers movie, but yeah this was really really good telling

@TimRT Howard It has been 5 days and anyone deciding to read the comments before finishing the video shouldn't be surprised to see spoilers


11:15 man can afford himself a month of Twitter Blue


This was hard for me too watch, i have a little brother.

Pray too god this never happens too anyone ever again.


Hey tanks for the video, a nice anxiety inducing watch at 1am


Wendigoons face crawling around LMFAOOOO.


It’s so sad Wendigoon wasn’t rescued faster. I really liked his content. I hope he left a sizeable backlog of videos to give us the impression that he’s still with us.

what i came to the comments for because why is nobody saying anything. I didn’t know he went through this!!


I thought I was tripping when I saw wendigoon’s face


Whoever's image you used for Floyd looks exactly like me. Its uncanny


18:19 damn! even Tommy Shelby was trying to get the guy out!

Hi thanks for watching congratulations you have been selected among my shortlisted Halloween winners text me to claim a prize now.


Crazy how there is no movie based on this yet


It’s insane that I knew that he died. I know the story already, I know he doesn’t make it out. But for some reason, this video had me tense and hoping that every attempt he would be rescued. I felt deflated when you said he died. This is such a great video.

reminds me of a joke I read in a joke book a while ago

Two friends were watching an old cowboy movie.

It gets to a chase scene towards the end of the movie and one friend turns to the other and says, "I bet you $20 he falls off his horse," the other friend accepts. The hero falls off his horse and the friend pays out but the one that made the bet tells him "No I can't take your money; I've already seen this movie"

The other friend, "So have I, but I didn't think he'd do it again!"

It's called Titanic Syndrome. When you watch the movie, the ship is approaching the iceberg and a small part of you is screaming 'C'mon! Turn damn you turn! You can do it!'.

We're human. Hope is in our DNA.


No one would venture the squeeze

Arthur Morgan: well hell I'll do it got nothing to lose


40:10 This is a missed opportunity to make Casey Jones stand in for TMNT's Casey Jones


this video was how i found out im extremely claustrophobic


But why had he gone 12 days without food? Idk if I missed something but I didn’t think it had been twelve days since he was closed off right?


What’s really emotional and just outright disturbing is that apparently rescuers had said that Collins’ last words were “You’re too slow.” as the caves walls were beginning to close in.

@Messy Misha<br>Everyone processes information differently. It's completely natural for someone to find such a thing to be oddly morbid or disturbing. This entire story in general is heartbreaking at its core regardless of how you feel about that particular detail.

How do they know that those were his last words? He could have said stuff after the cave closed up.

@eat hot chip and lie exactly, people are quick to believe something someone said in an era known for sensationalism and extreme stretches of the truth in journalism

Sounds like a cool tale someone spun to make the story more scary. I'd like to believe it, but I mean come on.

Definitely odd maybe strange but disturbing thats rather excessive if u aks me

@Taterds If he’s about to die, I don’t think he’s going to be able to scream loud enough to produce an echo

@Team Inflament did you forget that sounds echo inside caves

"YOU'RE TOO SLOW" i just imagine the sonic game over theme and collins waving his finger at the camera before being buried

@the 𝓯𝓾𝓷 has 𝓪𝓻𝓻𝓲𝓿𝓮𝓭 yeah me too, kinda ruined it a little not gonna lie, but it also improved it

@the 𝓯𝓾𝓷 has 𝓪𝓻𝓻𝓲𝓿𝓮𝓭 ahahah im dying lmao

fucking help me i read that in sonics voice

There is no way that World Of Tanks is anywhere near as good as this ad for World Of Tanks.


How to spot a paid-off judge without saying that he was 100& a paid-off  judge


kinda sad that people berated robert like that, he meant well but it just didn't work out, if maybe they pulled at a different angle it might have worked


Was it not feasible to approach from the same way they got his body out? Digging down to the side that had his legs?

Hi thanks for watching congratulations you have been selected among my shortlisted Halloween winners text me to claim a prize now.......


Gerald is a freaking unit, he is incredible, it feels if he had appeared just a bit earlier and if there wasn't much commotion, he would've gotten Floyd out,,

Gerald, Miller and Homer were incredible in this story! It's so frustrating that the crowbar method could've worked if the cave didn't collapse when it did :(

Oh, definitely, that guy was a machine! I wonder what happened to him after all the craziness.


Soo.. all of that and at the end we don't have a good photo of what he wanted to show people?! Fuck, I hoped at least they managed to put a camera and take some photos of that awesome place


I'm only 5 minutes in but already I'm thinking if he was going to chip away at anything couldn't he make the 9 inch gap bigger to start???


You can tell someone's a genuinely skilled storyteller when you already know the outcome to the story and yet you're still utterly captivated the whole time anyway. A+ man.

Absolutely true, I wasn't familiar with this story before this video but I've already rewatches it three times and everytime I physically tense at parts


Y’know what? It was the 1920’s. Let’s just call it even.


this needs to get turned into an A24 movie


@49:33 they used the cave rescue creepers to blow up a path to him


These cave videos just scare the absolute shit out of me, even recreations in the manner of Internet Historian.. ugh

Hi thanks for watching congratulations you have been selected among my shortlisted Halloween winners text me to claim a prize now......


As tragic as this story is, it's also kind of inspiring to see these instances of people putting huge amounts of effort and taking big risks just to save one life.

@Taydra Cole-Williamson but the publicity was shittier

@platypi pope restores my faith for humanity

today, huge amounts of effort are put into killing babies. how far we have fallen smh

@geek TUrD starship troopers by Robert heinlein, chapter 7 or 8 I believe

Reminds me of the Thai cave rescue, which had a much happier ending.

It's kinda beautiful, in a way.

Humanity has its merits.

There's no damned point to civilization if we don't take care of each other.

@mitchel Jackson if "uhhh actually..." Was a person...man do some soul searching lmaoo

Goes to show you, people really do care even if it feels like they don't. It's the opportunities you aren't in that's the problem, not you personally. Everyone has value.

At some point, it almost starts looking more like an act of defiance against that damn cave.

@mitchel Jackson a. its a quote from a book<br>b. often does not mean on average

@mitchel Jackson a. its a quote from a book

14:18 it’s pronounced Lou-uh-vuhl or lu-vul for short


Would he have heard the dynamite and digging sounds?


That moment when he said he didn't want to be alone when the cave in happens, I didn't think much of it at first cause still believed he was gonna get out. That was actually the very last time anyone saw him alive. And I just thought back to that moment. Even though they still tried like hell to get him out after that, he'd never know about it. For all he knew, they already gave up by then.

@gz He must have lost hope at some point.

@gz To be honest, during the last couple of days he was alive he probably couldn’t think at all. I’m sure he was completely delirious, more like in a coma than actually living

he knew the lightbulb was still on and lived until it died and he lost the warmth.

I doubt he thought they had given up, since he told Miller that he would stay patient.

But it's possible that he lost hope that they'd be able to get him out, especially after it collapsed


How were you able to hold my short as heck attention span, that couldnt even bare a 15 second ad, to watch an hour of cave pictures with moving cutouts and narration??


Second time watching this and noticing the peeky blinders as the crowd in the background 👍


in the end, he did find something special that attracts tourists. himself.


Does anyone know where the modeling at 5:22 is from?


Was at Mammoth Cave National Park recently where they told Floyd’s story during the tours, but the rangers didn’t tell the story nearly as good as you did. Though to be fair, I don’t think I could handle watching this video while being inside the very cave system in which it happened. Thank you for being a beautiful storyteller.

@Iron Pizza It's absolutely misinformation when he purposely builds a new story around it, puts all the time and effort into it knowing it's not correct. Besides, that's only the first of by my estimation, around 15-20 things of this scale or bigger he gets entirely false.

The story he's telling is equivalent to Titanic but replace the iceberg with a U-Boat, and the break up as sinking solid. Major things that affect everything else around it. Plus it makes for a less impactful telling all around.

@C Porter I got your statement wrong and misunderstood it. The way you explain things in these comments is not too easy to follow. More sentence stops, more breaks in text, and less unnecessary details.<br>Anyways sure he left it out but is that really misinformation? It absolutely could have been included in the video, but I don't think he had any ill intent in doing so. I hope your video turns out well. I'll be checkin it out when it releases.

@Iron Pizza How the fuck is it a small detail? Crystal cave is an entirely different fucking Cave Sytem that's so much larger than Sand Cave ever could be, and has a legacy that directly helps Mammoth Cave's existence. It literally changes his entire motive for going into Sand Cave in the first place, which IH purposefully ignores since he specifically wrote Crystal Cave, a extremely large part of the Mammoth Cave reigon already. It's not obscure either, it's incredibly well known, which even more shows how he deliberately reconstructed the story with the intent to create a fake account of the Floyd Collins Tragedy. I'm making a video right now about all the major stuff he left out. WAY to many to list here. So you'll have to see it in the video. Idgaf if it gets 6 views or 600 either like people are trying to make me out to be.

@C Porter Your example of IH doing little to no research is a small detail of the caves name and who owned the land. Could you list anything else?

@C Porter i'll be real with you my guy. your time and effort would go to far better use if you used the algorithmic relevance of Floyd's story rn and made a real, true and honest documentary-esque take on the tale. doesn't need cool moving pictures etc, few people come to video essays for visuals in the first place. i would 100% watch that video be it 10 minutes or 10 hours. but i can guarantee you i will not watch the response video. you are barking up the wrong tree by trying to insist this video was meant as a true and honest documentary. this isn't the megalodon or mermaids 'documentary' where IH insists it's true and brings in some actors pretending to be historians to echo his claims. this is a haha funny video that brings attention towards a fascinating story and entertains the viewers. you claim the flying bit was in ill taste but from my POV, it was meant to represent further just how ridiculed the poor man was by exaggeration. i thought it was amusing but i didn't laugh, it was sad thinking that THIS is probably what it felt like from the perspective of his family. using the real photos in these skits would be 100000% times more disrespectful so i don't really see where your anger comes from.

use the attention this brought to the story and who knows, if your account is as true as you say, it might get boosted by other historians that aren't comedians. you could be up there with other well received video essays. though the stories that are heard don't tend to start with "i am going to act superior to a funny man"

@C Porter...Reread the warning at the beginning of the video..

 Journalistic and Satire in nature... No shit I could tell he wasn't treating it as serious as a documentary! He's made sure to completely change faces and such to make sure we aren't even laughing at them, I could recognize  near all the YouTube playing their parts. It's kinda like reacting a play, you can call it fucked buttt it's not too much of an argument on that end

@dzthfbn cbvm So you're saying he's somehow less important because he "willingly crawled into a cave" then? Would it be the same for an astronaut who launches himself into space to die on re-entry or a mountaineer who falls to his death while climbing Everest then?  Their lives don't matter because it's not some giganitc event that turned the tides of human history in the last 100 years? Of course, because if it takes risks to do something, it's that person's fault they die no matter what happens then, that's what you're saying. Pretty shitty to think that it's automatically lesser then and undeserving of the same respect and research put in just because the circumstances of how someone met their fate is different. Why don't we just then throw out all the research books and documentaries into Floyds' death then and say that "God held him in that cave because he wouldn't repent and give himself to god" like his fucking father Lee thought.

And for fucks sake, this is barely 50% accurate. If this video was even 80% correct, I wouldn't be making all this noise about it.

@hecks soda I'm not too much just because I seem to be the only one who cares enough to actually hold him to the same standards as literally everyone else on this platform is held to. If you're gonna make a video about something and have a ton of shit wrong in it, then by default you should be expecting backlash from viewers on whatever scale. Just so happens that I'm the guy who has to call him out on his shit because no one else will, and is fine with just mindlessly believing everything said. His own source he lists the one time even contradicts what he says in the video, that's how low effort of research he put into it.

@C Porter Dude, you're too much. Do you realize that your emotional reaction is rather strange and dismissable from an outsider perspective? I think you should make the Floyd Collins video, it's something you clearly care about. However you should very well expect an Internet Historian video to have tongue-in-cheek embellishments and dramatizations, as you claim to be a veteran viewer of his content.

@C Porter Chill pard'ner, I think you've just got a mighty strong urge to explore Collin's cave and are having trouble expressing your jealously towards IH's popularity and being the one to bring attention to dear Ol' Collin's drippy wet cave holes that're so tight, they'd strangle a worm to death. Eyup.

@C Porter Honestly the fact that you're going around to everyone praising this video peddling this stuff about inaccuracies while not elaborating but instead insisting that you're gonna put out this awesome response video seems like you're just trying too hard to get attention for your own channel. Which is ironic considering the recurring theme in this vid about terrible people taking advantage of a bad situation to benefit themselves.

It would be funny if they played this video there though.

It would be funny if they played this video there though.

TO EVERYONE FOLLOWING IN THIS THREAD: First, yes I'm being rude in this, but as you all will see in time--if you end up watching the video i make--it is more than deserved, plus the arguments of: "it's a minor detail" followed by "Who cares", "If you don't like it, don't watch it", and "it's just a video for entertainment!" are the weakest and most predictable arguments out there, and it's clear you've put no thought into it.

Second, I'm going to ignoring or commenting a lot less here as I can, as right now I'm trying to focus all my efforts on this video I'm making. With this video, my thoughts will be a lot more clearly laid out. Don't expect the visuals to be as fantastic as this video here. If you want a visual reference, I got documentaries i've done across my channel.

Three, My passionate interest in Floyd Collins has went back over 4 years time. Started from hearing the 1925 Andrew Jenkins song in Sept 2018, and since I've studied deeply into this. If you look through my channel, I've uploaded several of the original 78rpm records of this song, with varying descriptions talking about the tragedy pulling from my research. Plus look at other Floyd Collins videos on YT, and you may see me in there, and discussing him with others who have looked into it even deeper than ME too sometimes.

I care about the truth being put out, with proper context, and not furthering the disrespect and misrepresentation this man and his family has faced from people of influence not caring enough for nearly 100 years now.

@C Porter You really want to compare 9/11 and the holocaust, events of murder that affected people nationally and globally even to this day, to the mistake one guy made by willingly crawl into a dangerous cave? And you want to hold the standards of an internet comedian to that of an actual historical documentary? As for drawing the line, it would be if this same video was meant to be taught in a history class and claimed to be 100% accurate. Why? Because I'm aware this is not to be taken 100% seriously. If I wanted an actual documentary I would go watch one and you know what? After I watched this, I went to go watch and read up on what happened in Nutty Putty as it was a similar situation because it peaked my interest and I wanted more facts. So I went to seek as such from <b>not</b> a comedien.

@dzthfbn cbvm The attempts at humor in this is not misinformation, but it sure as shit is in bad taste. The video can't decide whether it wants to be a meme video, or an actual documentary piece, or something that truly tells the story right. There's nothing minor about this, unless you mean to say that anything historical is minor at the end of the day. Where do you draw the line? Does it have to be as big as the holocaust or 9/11 for it to be something major?

@Luis Rodriguez I'm not able to cancel people, not only is it too risky for me, but this guy literally has millions of subs and a ton more influence than a 78er who makes music history videos with actual cited sources, and made with true care and understanding of the subject.

@C Porter You're right it is fine. It just seems that IH's flavor of humor doesn't sit right with you and that's okay too. If your video is merely about the incorrect information I see no problem with it but if it goes into the points you brought up about the faces being replaced and calling something like THAT misinformation then it's...a bit silly because we all know it's not actually their faces. Even said so at the end of the video who was used as replacements. Of course you can still do what you like regardless of what I say, but I just end up seeing videos like those get laughed at instead of taken seriously  or create a mob with pitchforks over something minor and losing the actual meaning of your video as well.

@C Porter IH usually does follow up vids when there are mistakes his audience points out. He did with the Costa Concordia one, for instance.

So he does care to correct any mistake. I kinda get the feeling you are trying to cancel him instead of just, you know, point out the details he got wrong.

@dzthfbn cbvm Dark humor is fine if it's done with taste and respect at the end of the day. Such as with The Dollop's podcast episode on the Floyd Collins tragedy, though they still leave out a lot of other details. I highly recommend it.

@El tio Fresca You watched this video of 1 hour and 10 minutes length just fine, so you can watch mine of less than half that time when it comes out.

@C Porter Those things you listed are flavors of his comedy. Not misinterpretions. Misinterpreting is like what you mentioned in your previous post about the incorrect naming and reasoning. Seeing a body fly across the sky...I guess you haven't watched his other videos on other retold events? Because he does that silly dark humor with everything.

@LZKN8 ngl, It may take a few days before it comes out, because unlike IH here, I'm actually caring about getting things correct.

@C Porter just say it, unless there isnt

@C Porter just say it, unless there isnt

@C Porter Well, I'm interested to hear more about him. Looking forward to watch your video

@C Porter Well, I'm interested to hear more about him. Looking forward to watch your video

@dzthfbn cbvm So it was respectful how he animated his body flying up in the air all magic like? or how he added sex jokes in there for no reason? How about replacing every photo of the actual people present with stock photos or literal costume designs for Chris fucking Kringle? This video has done nothing but misrepresent the story of Floyd Collins even more than it already is.

@eh I literally just listed the first of fucking many. This isn't a typo either, how the hell could it be? He did EVERYTHING you just mentioned in that comment. How can you watch the video even without this and not realize how fucked up it is? Animating Floyd's body flying in the air and laughing at it? Some of you people are legit hopeless.

@C Porter I look forward to your video but just as a heads up, IH is a comedian and all his videos are in this same style of silly ways to spread information. If he got facts wrong then by all means will be interested in hearing what's right and wrong. But if this is about his tone of the video, it came off as respectful enough to me. He obviously sympathize with the family and if anything, this story felt more like a jab at the way people have treated his situation in both stupid and admirable ways.

@C Porter Bein honest this is a very weak point against him. I thought he did something real FUCKED UP by downplaying an aspect lie family or the severity of the story. I know it's just one point but this detail is basically at most a minor typo or something lol

@woah now Already did show one, look in the comment section, but i''m working on this video to show you all, as you can be rightfully mad at him for what he's doing wrong.

@El tio Fresca look to others in this comment section.

@El tio Fresca look to others in this comment section.

@ServantoftheKing Well stay tuned then for my video, hopefully it will be up in the next few days. (Notice on my channel I have several videos on the songs about Floyd Collins on their original 78rpm records, one dating back to 1925 itself.) I'm going to expose this guy for what he truly is, a shitty source, who puts influence and visuals over the actual content, which has as many holes in his telling and lack of respect for it as the yellow journalists who sabotaged the progress of Floyd's rescue in 1925.

@C Porter ohhh this is interesting. I thought you meant a ranger at the cave told the story badly but you mean IH. It feels like IH would have a lot to lose for doing poor research so I’m interested in what points you bring up

@woah now I'll give you this one for now, but really I'm trying to spend as much time on this video to get it out soon:

Internet Historian explains Floyd's whole mission to dig out Sand Cave for tourism, but says it as this is the cave that he found on his property. This is not even close to true; the cave that was found on his property was Floyd Collins' Crystal Cave, years beforehand, opening in 1917. Sand Cave, which was a name that the press came up for it by the way, was found in the later months of 1924, with an agreement from the actual landowner which was Bee Doyle, for a 50/50 split of revenue for when the cave was opened, if one could be found.

( there may be typos in here, but literally I'm spending a lot of time working on the video right now)

@Benji I probably will afterwards, but a response video is entirely needed first. Because of how horribly he made his video, and how much disrespect towards the actual incident is there, he needs to be called out. There has been so much disrespect over nearly a century's time for Floyd Collins and the entire Collins family, it's time that people actually get some sort of negative consequences for it. I.H. holds absolute responsibility for telling stuff like this correctly, and it is abundantly clear to me that not only did he do little research, but he purposely left crucial details out and reconfigured the entire story around. It's not like that there's little to go off of anyways; there are several books, one of which being exhaustively long that was made about it, as well as documentaries and a attempted true story movie made about it by Billy Bob Thornton in years past.

Woah ten dollars! Thank you so much for the money!

Woah ten dollars! Thank you so much for the money!

@C Porter a response video? just make your own video detailing the whole event how you know it.

@C Porter a response video? just make your own video detailing the whole event how you know it.

@woah now that’s why he’s making a response video

@woah now that’s why he’s making a response video

okay but like, care to share a few examples? Because if you don't your just mad.

okay but like, care to share a few examples? Because if you don't your just mad.

@C Porter lmao no one will watch your pile of crap

@C Porter lmao no one will watch your pile of crap

he told the story shittily, got so many details wrong with it. I'm working on a response video right now to show it.

EDIT: I've lost nearly all patience for defending myself through people's hopeless wails of "it's just a video" or "who cares" and the condescending "it's not supposed to be 100%, just get over it lmao" toxic cancer. Instead over the last several days I've been making a video that will address and explain everything I'm talking about. There are far too many things to list here, along with their context, as to do tell it correctly, telling it in 1 or 2 sentences isn't enough for commenters to beleive these things are incredibly crucial, and cant be left out.

I was in and out watching this and woke up to this scene. Very spooky to wake up to.

I was in and out watching this and woke up to this scene. Very spooky to wake up to.


Scary interesting did this months ago. This is done well as well.


Apparently Floyd was played by Matt Berry.


If only there were some WW1 tunnelers there to help


prolly the best vid from internet historian so far


I'm late, but god damn was this entertaining. Bravo.


I'm from Kentucky and did not expect the first 5 words of this video to be  "In the State of Kentucky"


this is just anti asmr for someone with claustrophobia


Internet Historian found about this cave story through random YouTube recommendations like me.


He's just... Historian now. Amazing retelling of events.

The people claiming the reality of Floyd being trapped was a conspiracy theory because the basic facts were too scary for them to contemplate is essentially a parable about the internet.

News paper was the internet of its time so it counts

A historian on the internet, so the name still checks out.


Wow Floyd sure looks a lot like Wendigoon


Has anyone else noticed Thomas Shelby is an npc in this? Great Easter egg!!!


Jesus Christ, every second for the first 59 minutes got me on edge, the anxiety....


you'd think the animation and cut out characters would take away from the tenseness of this whole ordeal but internet historian manages to tell a great story using them

He did the same thing when he was talking about Stede Bonnet


I always use to bypass this video seeking it was too long for my attention.

Today it was the day and boy this was an amazing 1 hour session.


49:32 the marines rescue team. Guy on the right could have made it worse imo.


Honestly what a goofball. Why didn't he start opening it at the entrance of the cave? Did he think the tourists we're gonna crawl through the squeeze?


Wait did some of the original vid get cut? I could have sworn he did more with the "it's been 100 years, let's call it even" instead of just two people. Thought there was at least 1 other he did that to.


This story encompasses the most noble efforts of humanity, as well as its most depraved inclinations. It’s truly incredible that even knowing from the start that he wasn’t going to make it, the way you told the story still gave me hope right up until the end. Kudos


This thing is the most American thing ever. From banding together to help a man in dire need against all odds to digging up that same man's corpse and putting it on display for some money.


jesus, I knew people were a little fucked in the head back then but starting a carnival over a literal trapped and dying man is so horrible


Legendary vid. Medal of Honor music was a nice touch 👌👌


It is actually scary to imagine the cave as this living existential being that refuses to let Flyodd leave the cave, dead or alive.

@Caleb Ottoson it was a good video but sadly it’s a fake thing. Imagine if that did exist though

not to mention the 2 dudes that threw his body and the leg that was trapped under the rock, the one Floyd didnt wanna cut off being cut off, and his body still being put back inside the cave but with chains now

Floyd: breaks rock
Cave: "And I took that personally."

Floyd: *breaks rock*
Cave: "And I took that personally."

@domenica I see you are a fellow slave to "Fate" as we all are.

Q҉u҉i҉l҉i҉b҉e҉t҉

What's scarier is Vlad's 216 bone requirement for skills

@Tundra Sounds like someone visited The Mystery Flesh Pit's baths! I don't suggest bringing your kids to that part of the park.

@Caleb Ottoson The Mystery Flesh Pit in Texas?  Best vacation I ever had!  Worth every penny, and the memories will last a lifetime.  Make sure to bring your kids when you go, they'll never forget it.

Wendigoon made a video summarizing a story about a living cave system. It called The Mystery Flesh Pit and it is as terrifying as it sounds

Thanks for my next Dungeons and Dragons plot.

I'm not normally a superstitious person and even i gotta say that cave's gotta be the most haunted thing i've ever heard


Curse you sand cave why must you torment Floyd so much!


Was this even real or just another matrix story where no real soul was harmed?


Wow. It reminds me of weird animated documentaries of the 69s and 70s by the National Film Board of Canada.


When IH said "He's dead." I audibly gasped and hunched over. I was so invested in this story and I had such hope that he'd make it out. I couldn't imagine being the Miners or the family of Floyd, going through all the hardship and effort put into his rescue, just to find out they'd barely missed him. May God cherish his soul.

@MK Ultra I can only assume so.
The smell has to of been...

Thick.

@Diogenes' Lantern And you scrolled into the comment section, where people comment about the video

@Stormborn Apostle Did Floyd piss his pants while trapped down there?

@Diogenes' Lantern I'm going to spoil your derriere cherriere Ricahrd Simmons style.

Honestly with everything going on, I thought he wasn’t dead and just passed out or something and was gonna pop up like “I LIVED BITCH!”

Yeah dude, it got to me. <br>I almost cried.

Yeah dude, it got to me.
I almost cried.

@The Boshy The comments are a place to discuss the video, don't go into them without watching the video if you don't want to be spoiled. Like come on guys lol.

Well, he had been without food/water for >5 days. I gasped too, but rationally it's obvious that he was going to be dead.

bro it took them how longagain? over 100 hours to reach him? i knew he was dead by then. imagine how long he was without water and food
i was like 90% sure he was dead
and you can hadrly say they BARELY missed him, 3 days is a long fucking time

Okay you dont have to mass reply to the dude. Jesus! I kind of get it personally, I told myself not to read comments bcause i didnt know the ending and it was compelling. Just because its a historical event and old doesnt mean <i>everyone</i> knows it.

@Diogenes' Lantern They hated Diogenes because he told the truth.<br>This is a historical event. But it is obscure, and for 99% of viewers is new. And is considered entertainment by them.

@Diogenes' Lantern What did you expect to find when you read the comments to the video before watching the video exactly? Like this isn't some video about the first episode of Breaking Bad with a comment that spoil the last episode here, this is a comment about the information we find out in this very video! That's not a spoiler, that's just what commenting is!

@Diogenes' Lantern At this point, going to the comments prior to watching the video is consent to be spoiled.

@Diogenes' Lantern This isn't Avengers Endgame bruh this was a real event that happened over a century ago lmao I didn't "spoil" anything

@Diogenes' Lantern This is literally a CENTURY-OLD HISTORICAL EVENT.

And then you spoil it for EVERYONE else.


4:15 Do you mean 15 kilograms or 150 kilograms? Because 15 kilograms is around 30 lbs and 150 kilograms is around 330 lbs.

Amazing video.

@Freya He's nott your mom but it's a common sense

@Zac I’m pretty tough don’t under estimate me!

I’ve kicked 2 Furrys asses so far in a fight!

@Freya He may not be your mom but if Bruce Willis gives you advice, you better take it.

@Freya always read the comments AFTER the video


I’m from Chautauqua and listening to you pronounce it was painful hahaha great video


Even the freaking Peaky Blinders were there lol


Miller is the embodiment of Chad journalism.


Wait a minute! This isnt internet history. Its just regular old normal history!


I feel so bad for the brother. Did everything he could, pushed himself beyond his limits and still couldn't save him

@Venkteshprasad Maya Rao That should just be common knowledge.

Due credit to Gerald too, guy clearly knew his shit but nobody would listen to him, tried damn hard too

I wish i had seen this comment before spending time with a video that was only going to make me feel horrible

@BDSM gaming This is one of the most evocative comments I've ever read.

I hope Floyd's enjoying his resting place, exploring the caves of heaven, hopefully not stuck like a step sister in a washing machine this time

@Venkteshprasad Maya Rao<br>LOL sorry. Actually I commented before I finished the video. I watched a documentary about this guy years ago and think about him every time I'm near a cave

@Venkteshprasad Maya Rao
LOL sorry. Actually I commented before I finished the video. I watched a documentary about this guy years ago and think about him every time I'm near a cave

It's really upsetting that they tried SO fucking hard to help him and ultimately, just couldn't.

The way he was treated after passing is absolutely disgusting too, at the point where it's noted he wore out 4 caskets I literally shouted "just bury him!".

Homer sounds like he was a really good brother who genuinely cared. To learn that people repeatedly screwed him and floyd over is heartbreaking.

Note to self: Do not look into the comments before watching the entire video.


Holyshit, now I just learnt that i have some degree of claustrophobic


What a putz.  I'll tell you Dunning And Kruger really planned this guys life out for him!


"For instance... here's a subway sub." - 12 inches. <br>STOP

"For instance... here's a subway sub." - 12 inches.
STOP


Love how there’s characters from peaky blinders


This is one of the scariest ways to die. The way you described the events as they unfolded really accentuated the hopeless despair of Floyd's situation.

Nutty putty cave guy was stuck upside down. What a silly goose.

@Józef Lucifuge Korzeniowski ooof I remember hearing about that novel from Jacob Geller and I am scared of even attempting reading that. It's quite literally an incomprehensibly unbearable position that, by the way it was presented, you would HAVE to bear. Ugh, makes me shiver in disgust.

I think the Jacob Geller video "fear of depths' is also about this case and fuck, I've never been more scared in my life than watching that video. It's incredible, I can highly recommend it.

it's some bleak, "i have no mouth and i must scream" shit


...until hour 411 it would have made a decent movie featuring a young Tom Hanks


14:00 why didn't the peaky blinders help floyd?


I just watched this like two weeks ago. YouTube recommended it again so.... again we watch.


Ok, we’ve got music from the original The Sims game at 1:08:00 and the theme song to Medal of Honor: Allied Assault at 1:04:08 . Someone on the editing staff is a connoisseur of early 2000s video games.

Hi thanks for watching congratulations you have been selected among my shortlisted Halloween winners text me to claim a prize now........


This was a genie wish. "I wish my cave is so popular people set up a literal carnival and everyone comes to visit."

Kept thinking about that throughout the story.

i kept thinking the same thing every time IH mentioned that more and more people came to town. i was really hoping he would get out alive and be like "hey i guess got my wish yuk yuk yuk" but instead im sad now

A real the Monkey's Paw curls predicament.


Tank you for putting in such time n effort


IVE BEEN TO MAMMOTH CAVE I WONDERED WHY THAT CAVE SEEMED FAMILIAR


At the end they got to him in a week? Wtff😭😭

Hi thanks for watching congratulations you have been selected among my shortlisted Halloween winners text me to claim a prize now.


Just ended the video, shit got me shaking rn no joking great history


The story of Floyd's attempted rescue and the cruel treatment of his body shows both the best and worst instincts of mankind

@KoiranKarva You spoiled it yourself going to the comments

Rathers shows how people are money hungry in USA even since then

@ImmenseWraith I didn't forget. I was just reading the comments while watching and the sentiment in the video was that they weren't necessarily happy to just leave him there - risking lives to bury him(nice but not worth it), I couldn't even imagine what freaking americans could come up with.

@Jan Smyčka no worries haha it gets worse

@Jan Smyčka you forgot the part where they showed off a mangled corpse of a man who died brutally over the course of weeks

@Morticia Fattyms Mostly people were saving him for competition and self worth, the only genuinely good ones were his brother, friend and the writer the firefighter was a piece of shit who was just saving him as fast as possible to be praised as a hero

This video was a rollercoaster of "Aww, good people" and "OH MY FUCKING GOD I HATE PEOPLE"

@GoTi4No 😅, might have been commenting too fast. Haven't finished the video 🙈

@Jan Smyčka putting his body on display, in the same fucking cave he died in, is cruel.

@Jan Smyčka At that point no one was risking their lives.

@Jan Smyčka he means saving the body, and then putting it on display as a tourist attraction.

@Jan Smyčka the shitbag dentist displaying his corpse for cash is the worst instinct he’s talking about.

Sorry but risking lives to rescue a body is not worst instinct of humanity...


they way the rescuer make themself to be so heroic i think they might be some cap involevd


I like how most of the crowd is just Peaky Blinders PNG


Gotta ask, 29:07

Is that a silhouette of Joe Biden falling up the stairs cleverly snuck in?


24:20 Cool! He's using music from Outer Wilds!.....................................................oh no, he's using music from Outer Wilds 💀


I think what ended up finally killing Floyd was that the light bulb burnt out. The heat from it no longer kept his vitals warm, he was without food so his body couldn't do it, and he was wet so he was losing heat plentifully. Most importantly, I think he gave up at that point. I think after the light went out, he decided they must have given up on him and that there was no hope for him, so he gave up on life. The indomitability of the human spirit rests on our will to live.

@Maxim Pikalev that's way better than being the ass that got stuck in a cave.

if you lived during that era you would've been one of the bystanders offering completely obvious and pointless solutions without actually doing anything

Given he was in a cave filling with water, I'm gonna say he probably didn't die from lack of water.

@IcyMix god dam, you didn't have to do him like that 🤣

Bro he was without water and food for at least 12 days, I think that probably did him in

@Skarloey Thomas This is the funniest YouTube comment I've ever read

@Skarloey Thomas Well, yeah, obviously...

@Skarloey Thomas I cerebrate you’re leaving a replication because you had a noetic conception. The neurones in your encephalon fired and engendered a phrenic conception, and you determinately ended up parsing that thought into motor activation, most importantly I cerebrate it was in your fingers, so you could inscribe the phrenic conception into a comment and hit send. The inexorability of human publication reposes on our faculty of opinion.

He didn't have anything to drink for how many days? (I can't recall now) one can live a month without food but a handful of days without water

@Orange Juice it means you didnt read and just <b>type type</b>

@Orange Juice it means you didnt read and just *type type*

@Orange Juice I think you’re leaving a reply because you had a thought. The neurones in your brain fired and produced a thought, and you finally ended up parsing that thought into motor activation, most importantly I think it was in your fingers, so you could type the thought into a YouTube comment and hit send. The inexorability of human publication rests on our faculty of opinion.

Well, yeah. Obviously it was the light bulb that went out which killed him. He literally says in the video that he died around the same time the light bulb went out.


Just remember, that this is a YouTube creator produced/created video, and you are most likely watching this for the 7th/8th time.


Cannot wait for the video about Elons purchase of Twitter 5 years down the line


All I see is a sad tale of how few few people actually Do things. And so many more just.....breathe.

It really does represent Humanity in a microcosm. Or at a more generous assessment...an aspect of it.


I know i'm throwing a stone to the ocean, but would you pay some money to me so I would make spanish subtitles for this? This is a masterpiece

Hi thanks for watching congratulations you have been selected among my shortlisted Halloween winners text me to claim a prize now.....


Miller was amazing. He risked his life for a complete stranger. So were homer and gerald. True heroes.

Big respect for them.

But i got so mad at the people who are just sitting outside. Being no help and actually making it worse.

 I hate it so much when something bad happens today and the first thing peopledo. is to get their phone out to film it. Yes things should be recorded. so it may not be forgotten but when everyone do it. then be useless and do it for the cloud. It's makes me so mad.

Raise a glass to Homer, seriously, what a fucking stand up guy he was all around

That trio are the best ones in this story, absolute Chads

Yeah no kidding, as someone who comes from a large family, the way Homer immediately went down to help his brother no questions asked hit me hard

Ambition is often confused for heroism. Practically everyone in the story is desperately seeking shekels.

Miller had no experience with cave dwelling I assume, just unbelievable bravery and moral fortitude to throw yourself into so something dangerous that you know nothing about to save someone you don’t even know. A testament to human capacity for kindness and self sacrifice


Cracks me up that it's the Peaky Blinders in the crowd in the background 😂😂


What happened to the cavern he was trying to open up?


Oh shit, I'm not even 5 min in and my watch thinks I'm running a marathon. I might have a slight issue with tight spaces.


I always come to Internet Historian to feel claustrophobic and uncomfortable

Most people have to do it the old fashioned way when their creepy uncle babysits

It's the same with the people that he dates.

Yoooooo act man in the wild let’s goooo.

internet historian’s ‘Hide the Pain Harold’ 10 year old meme facade always makes me want to giggle.  I love ❤ you internet historian.   you are the voice of my generation

Collaboration with Internet Historian or guest appearance on In The Field when?

I had to tell myself to stop relating to Floyd because god is that some grade a claustrophobia.

oh damn its the acting male man, how you doing?

Ive always loved the IH for my bi-yearly scoop of uncomforting and downright disturbing Information condensed into 1 hour segments

Those videos replying to the false copyright claims and drama with quantum were hilarious- I appreciate your channel and hope all is well!

this is nightmare fuel for people with clustrophobia


As horrible as Floyd's fate was, at least he technically accomplished his dream of turning Sand Cave into a major tourist attraction, albeit in the worst way possible. <br>Probably one of the most effed up "be careful what you wish for" moments in history.

@pyrobeav2005 Yeah, considering the "turnaround" point, he would've needed to make that cave WAY wider and way more stable before people would consider going in.

Fate has a funny way of doing things

Except it wasn't funny in this case... it was morbid.

I am sad to say I have just been informed that the number has changed from 420 to a less cool number. I hope we can cometogether as a community and fix this.

thx

I mean, the cave had fucking TEETH! I really don't know how else he thought it was going to end.

I like this comment but want to leave your like count at 420

What's the status of that inner crystalline cavern now?

Floyd's Lost Leg goes on to become a new horrible variety of Monkey's Paw.


Man, i went to hell and back on that one 😅


Wait, wait. Hold on. The guy is dehydrated, and they give him coffee? Wouldn't that just dehydrate him further?

I doubt the coffee they were getting him was anything like the stuff we drink today.


Hi thanks for watching congratulations you have been selected among my shortlisted Halloween winners text me to claim a prize now......


2nd time watching this. Just noticed the crowd is just the peaky blinders... lmao


William Miller is such a chad. Actual good journalist, brave enough to plumb the depths and responsible for bringing so much interest and so many resources to this situation!

@Woosh Bait but if there was no interest there would be no incompetent people to do that

@Ikashio Oh god. Yes, there is interest, but ultimately what happened in the end was people being incompetent and stepping into the cave that caused it.

@Woosh Bait But if there was no interest, those people wouldn't be there. They wouldn't be there to not follow rules.

@Ikashio  It wasn't necessarily the interest that collapsed the cave. It was because people were being incompetent. They were told to stay out of the cave because running around in it could make it collapse. And once again no, Miller did not bring interest to the cave. This was quite literally covered by multiple journalist before Miller came and already had crowds forming.

@Woosh Bait and why do you thing hundreds of people were at the cave? the interest.

@Ikashio No it wasn't. It was because hundreds of people were at the cave.

@N3cr0 X3n0bi4 Well, journalist have always been like that. That's why he was exceptional and outstanding! No other reporters of his time were willing to brave the tunnels.

Gerold though, Half a ton of rock in one session!

@N3cr0 X3n0bi4 I mean I'm sure William was motivated by filling his pockets too, until he arrived and was moved by the direness of Floyds situation

I think people back then were just too bored.

All the good journalists have been assassinated by the Clintons by now.

@N3cr0 X3n0bi4 There’s always been journalists like that. Even in this story, people were publishing rumors about the whole thing being fakes without any real evidence to back it up. Just goes to show that clout chasing has been a thing for centuries.

@Kade Bah they were all such idek if I would do what they did but I definitely wanted everything to be done during this story and the end was so disappointing

Miller & Homer were chads but Gerald was definitely the chaddiest

@N3cr0 X3n0bi4
Journalists today:

Top Ten Actors to Play the Next Wolverine

the interest is also what caused the cave in though

Shame current day journalists are more worried of filling their pockets than doing good for the people.

Imagine going all that way thinking you're just going to interview a couple people, then going caving for the first time in your life, in a cave where someone was dying. And then going back again and again and again

@Timeward tbh, thats probably the reason he went in. He probably didnt know any better,

@Timeward Bizarre inversion, isn't it? Course, it could just as easily have gone that he got himself jammed in the Squeeze, further delaying rescue attempts, maybe causing Floyd to die earlier and maybe getting himself killed in the process, and everyone would be raging at the dumb-ass city boy who thought he could be a hero. But, I'm glad that didn't happen and he was one of the few people initially on the scene with the balls to do the right thing.

Just goes to show the line between bravery and stupidity is razor thin.

Dozens of grizzled farm men chickened out of that cave after seeing the squeeze, meanwhile this one determined city boy comes in and pushes through despite being totally inexperienced and scared shitless, simply because he feels so ashamed to turn back, knowing someone is on the other side.

From covering the story to becoming part of the story.


Dear Historian, please do Donner Party. Only you can do that subject justice. Love.


I now understand the fear of claustrophobia


they better add this place into project zomboid.


Despite knowing how Floyd's story ends, I still had SO MUCH hope that he'd make it out alive, gotta love the storytelling for these videos.

I had no idea, thankfully I finished video before reading comments. I'm so depressed now, wanted my boi to make it ;_;

@Kyle Bergman actually what did you expect going into the comments.

Fuck. Guess that'll teach me for reading some comments while the ads running.


Could this finally be THE "Sex Pistols at St. Martin's College of Art Show" moment for Youtube? The world waits...breathlessly...for the answer... X D


It wouldn't have happened if Subway made bigger sandwitches


damn Miller must have been an actual champ to be able to  get all the way down there despite his lack of any experience with caves, like damn man was determined

this is the most stressfull video i have ever watched on youtube


Best part was that I was playing World of Tanks while watching and then the advertisement came up


This is, unironically, one of the most terrifying videos I ever saw. Just imaging being in that situation just makes my skin crawl and gives me the shivers. Thanks IH, Wendigoon, and the rest

The nutty putty cave incident was way worse. Guy was upside down. In a smaller hole.

Eh, the nice thing is this doesn't happen to anyone on accident. It takes putting yourself into this kind of situation. That guy who was just driving around with his wife and a piece of metal came off the semi truck in front and decapitated his wife with their kids in the back seat is far more terrifying that it really happens to people.


I'm only 2 minutes in and dying with anxiety


This video is listed as a source on Floyd Collins wikipedia article


That The Sims song at the ended the video perfectly!


That first line “… demands a sacrifice” sets such an ominous tone. So well done, what a story

For a bit there I thought this might have been the cave from Night in The Woods


How did floyd go to the restroom?<br>You said this man ate like 8 sausage sandwiches.

Hi thanks for watching congratulations you have been selected among my shortlisted Halloween winners text me to claim a prize now.......


Having never heard of this before, I genuinely had a lot of hope that he would be rescued, and now I just feel so empty inside. The determination with which his brother, his friend and that incredible reporter pressed on is so admirable, but knowing now how it all ended, it's just so heartbreaking.

@Şakir Abdullayev why would you read the comments

whelp - guess i don't have to watch the video now....

@TheHopelessGamerz it does make them less talked about sadly though. This was a huge story at the time but no one knows about anything about it cause it just has a very sad ending. Heroism is only really celebrated if there’s a result unfortunately

I’ve never heard of this but all the other stories I’ve heard of people getting stuck in caves end the same way sadly. Nutty putty is an insanely horrific story

@GoklasM are you being obnoxious on purpose or

Yes everyone dies, but the story is how this one man died in a cave after hours of trying to get him out. That's not the same thing as any random person dying lmao

@Şakir Abdullayev Next time don't read the comments before finishing the video?

What? A man lived in 1925 is dead?<br>Everything dies. No spoilers here.

What? A man lived in 1925 is dead?
Everything dies. No spoilers here.

That bastard that displayed him back in the fucking cave...just fucking evil

Unfortunately that is life, some of the most heroic acts in history result in failure. That does not make them any less heroic.

i felt the same but its kind of an optimistic story that they never stopped fighting and trying to do the right thing despite all odds, and finally removed him from the cave.

Man i feel the exact same. Such a tragedy


This was better than any Marvel movie in the past few years... Bravo isn't enough to describe such wonderful work.


Video : talks about a man trapped in a cave with pure horror and dread

Ad : WORLD OF TANKS, USE CODE TANKM-


Why didn’t they drill a gear in the wall facing the entrance for a more clean pull combined with someone crowbarring the boulder holding his foot in place with a much longer crowbar?

There were like 8 different points where I was like "well certainly this story has to be almost over" only to realize there was like 35 minutes left in the video. What a crazy story.

@Coffeeisnecessarynow Damn, sorry for your loss


My god this is so frightening and claustrophobic


This story should've been called "American Capitalism: The Movie".


Look up the song Ghost of Floyd Collins by Black Stone Cherry 🍒 the whole album is about Kentucky folklore and superstition.

So, uh... is his foot still under that rock?


This story displays the entirety of the human condition in one linear plot. It's actually wild if you think about it.

I wonder if the Grinner condition is different in any way


This all could be avoided by playing World of Tanks.


My greatest mistake was watching this a night
