- 0:00Speaker 1: I've covered a lot of cave diving stories on this channel,
- 0:03Speaker 1: and today is no different. I'm going to cover another one.
- 0:05Speaker 1: In fact, it's our top story today. But it's unique.
- 0:08Speaker 1: There's not another cave diving story like it, and it
- 0:11Speaker 1: might just be the scariest situation you.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Could ever be in.
- 0:15Speaker 1: But before we get into today's stories, if you're a
- 0:17Speaker 1: fan of the strange, dark and mysterious delivered in story format,
- 0:21Speaker 1: then you come to the right channel, because that's all
- 0:23Speaker 1: we do and we upload three, four, even five times
- 0:25Speaker 1: every week. So if that's of interest to you, please
- 0:27Speaker 1: offer the light button a bag of pistachios after you
- 0:30Speaker 1: have meticulously removed all of the statios that can be opened,
- 0:35Speaker 1: and you only leave in the bag the ones that
- 0:37Speaker 1: are complete. The only ones in the bag are completely sealed.
- 0:40Speaker 1: Only ones left in the bag are completely sealed up. Also,
- 0:44Speaker 1: please subscribe to our channel and turn on all notifications
- 0:47Speaker 1: so you don't miss any.
- 0:48Speaker 2: Of our weekly uploads. All right, let's get into today's stories.
- 1:03Speaker 1: Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan, rising up
- 1:06Speaker 1: to three thousand, seven hundred and seventy six meters, and
- 1:09Speaker 1: it's actually a volcano. It's dormant. The last time it
- 1:12Speaker 1: erupted was in seventeen oh seven, but geologists still classify
- 1:16Speaker 1: it as active.
- 1:17Speaker 2: Tourists are allowed to climb.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Mount Fuji, but only between July and September because in
- 1:22Speaker 1: the winter months the mountain gets completely treacherous.
- 1:25Speaker 2: There's snow and ice and the wind picks up.
- 1:27Speaker 1: It's very, very dangerous, so it's off limits. Now, thrill seekers,
- 1:31Speaker 1: if they really wanted to, they could climb Mount Fuji
- 1:34Speaker 1: in the winter because there isn't a security guard posted
- 1:37Speaker 1: up at the bottom of Mount Fuji checking people in
- 1:40Speaker 1: and out.
- 1:41Speaker 2: It's on you.
- 1:42Speaker 1: If you want to climb it when it's off limits,
- 1:44Speaker 1: well then you're climbing at your own risk, because basically
- 1:46Speaker 1: it's a terrible idea. But if you have the right
- 1:49Speaker 1: equipment and you have all the right training, it is doable.
- 1:52Speaker 1: One thrill seeker, a forty seven year old named ted Zu,
- 1:55Speaker 1: decided he wanted to hike Mount Fuji in the winter
- 1:58Speaker 1: of twenty nineteen. He wanted to live stream his entire
- 2:01Speaker 1: journey to the summit. Now ted Zu might have been
- 2:03Speaker 1: a thrill seeker, but he certainly wasn't a mountain climber.
- 2:06Speaker 1: He did not have the experience, nor did he have
- 2:08Speaker 1: any of the equipment necessary for a climb up Mount
- 2:10Speaker 1: Fuji in the winter. Wearing only street clothes and carrying
- 2:14Speaker 1: nothing more than climbing poles and his smartphone, he turned
- 2:17Speaker 1: on his live stream and he began hiking up the
- 2:19Speaker 1: Shubashiri trail. Viewers began tuning in as ted Zu happily
- 2:23Speaker 1: made his way up this ash covered trail, and then
- 2:26Speaker 1: the ash turned into light snow, and then light snow
- 2:29Speaker 1: turned into really heavy snow and ice and wind, and
- 2:31Speaker 1: then ted Zu began complaining about how cold he was
- 2:34Speaker 1: and how he couldn't feel his hands, and his viewers
- 2:36Speaker 1: are egging him on to keep going, keep pushing through it,
- 2:40Speaker 1: and probably because of the pressure he felt from his viewers,
- 2:44Speaker 1: he kept going when really this would have been the
- 2:47Speaker 1: moment to turn around, When you're realizing that you don't
- 2:49Speaker 1: have the right equipment and it's getting really cold and
- 2:51Speaker 1: you're probably not even halfway up, that's.
- 2:53Speaker 2: The time to turn around, but he didn't. He pressed on.
- 2:56Speaker 1: As he moved up the mountain, the path he was
- 2:58Speaker 1: on continued to narrow and become increasingly more covered in ice,
- 3:02Speaker 1: and the guard fence that straddled the side of this
- 3:05Speaker 1: path was getting to the place where it comes to
- 3:07Speaker 1: a stop, signaling the most dangerous section of the hike,
- 3:10Speaker 1: which is the last leg up to the summit. He
- 3:13Speaker 1: gets to that point where the fence comes to an end,
- 3:15Speaker 1: and now he's on this narrow stretch where the wind
- 3:17Speaker 1: is just whipping across, and it's all ice, and he's
- 3:20Speaker 1: trying to walk across the ice with this totally inappropriate footwear.
- 3:24Speaker 1: He should have had on at least crampons, the metal
- 3:27Speaker 1: spikes that go on the bottom of your shoe to
- 3:28Speaker 1: grip ice. He just had tennis shoes on, and so
- 3:31Speaker 1: he's slipping and sliding as he's walking up this icy trail,
- 3:34Speaker 1: and then he finally staggers and falls, but he catches
- 3:36Speaker 1: himself and you can hear him laughing on the live stream,
- 3:39Speaker 1: joking with his audience how how dangerous and slippery it is,
- 3:43Speaker 1: and his viewers begin to change their tone a little
- 3:45Speaker 1: bit and they're like, hey, you might want to consider turning
- 3:48Speaker 1: around now, but ted Zoo is totally focused on getting
- 3:51Speaker 1: to the top. So he stands back up and he
- 3:54Speaker 1: continues to kind of shuffle his way towards the summit
- 3:56Speaker 1: on this stretch of ice, he finally gets right up
- 4:00Speaker 1: low the summit to where on his livestream you can
- 4:02Speaker 1: actually see the top of Mount Fuji. And you can
- 4:05Speaker 1: tell that his footwear at this point is basically not
- 4:08Speaker 1: able to handle how slick it is. He's basically constantly stumbling,
- 4:11Speaker 1: and you can see he notices a little stretch of
- 4:13Speaker 1: small rocks that seem to almost make stepping stones up
- 4:16Speaker 1: to the summit, and he begins walking over very carefully
- 4:19Speaker 1: on the ice to try to use these rocks to
- 4:22Speaker 1: get himself up to the top. And right as he's
- 4:24Speaker 1: trying to step for one of these rocks, he loses
- 4:26Speaker 1: his balance and on camera he says, wait, I'm slipping,
- 4:29Speaker 1: and then he falls and begins rocketing down the side
- 4:32Speaker 1: of this mountain. Now, when you fall on a steep mountain,
- 4:35Speaker 1: you have one, maybe two chances to self arrest. So,
- 4:39Speaker 1: for example, if you had an ice pick and you
- 4:41Speaker 1: were like ted Zoo and you start falling, you would
- 4:44Speaker 1: want to roll over and dig the head of that
- 4:46Speaker 1: ice pick into the ground and basically anchor your knees
- 4:49Speaker 1: and elbows and drive everything you can into.
- 4:51Speaker 2: The snow to stop yourself from falling, and so.
- 4:54Speaker 1: If you can't do that in one or two attempts,
- 4:56Speaker 1: your momentum will pick up and you'll be going too
- 4:58Speaker 1: fast and you won't be able to stop yourself, and
- 5:01Speaker 1: then you just got to.
- 5:01Speaker 2: Hope he survived the fall.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Ted Zu did not have a nice pick or any
- 5:05Speaker 1: other tool to help him self arrest, and he didn't
- 5:08Speaker 1: have the training.
- 5:09Speaker 2: For what to do in a situation like this, so he.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Didn't even attempt to roll over and dig his elbows
- 5:14Speaker 1: or knees into the ground to try to slow down.
- 5:16Speaker 1: So he just goes flying down the mountain. He's on
- 5:19Speaker 1: his back, he's not slowing down, and he knows he's doomed,
- 5:22Speaker 1: and he says on camera, well, it can't be helped,
- 5:25Speaker 1: before he flies over the edge and falls hundreds of
- 5:28Speaker 1: meters down to his death. His viewers who watched this
- 5:31Speaker 1: happen alerted authorities, who found his body the next day,
- 5:34Speaker 1: over one thousand meters away.
- 5:36Speaker 2: From where he had first fallen.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Unfortunately, every year there is a handful of people that
- 5:40Speaker 1: attempt to climb Mount Fuji in the winter and they
- 5:43Speaker 1: meet the same fate. On May second, two thousand, at
- 5:50Speaker 1: approximately midnight Eastern Standard time, the US government discontinued its
- 5:55Speaker 1: use of selective availability. Selective availability was the intentional degradation
- 6:00Speaker 1: of public GPS signals. It guaranteed that civilian GPS users
- 6:05Speaker 1: would not be able to pinpoint locations on a map
- 6:08Speaker 1: using their GPS. They could get to within maybe fifty
- 6:11Speaker 1: to one hundred meters, but that was the best they
- 6:13Speaker 1: could do. Prior to the year two thousand, there was
- 6:15Speaker 1: some concern that if you gave the general public the
- 6:18Speaker 1: ability to use GPS to precisely locate things on a map,
- 6:23Speaker 1: that that presented an elevated national security risk. But that
- 6:26Speaker 1: line of thinking became antiquated, and so on May second,
- 6:29Speaker 1: just after midnight, the so called Great Blue Switch, as
- 6:33Speaker 1: GPS enthusiasts referred to it, was flipped, and instantly tens
- 6:37Speaker 1: of thousands of GPS receivers received this incredible upgrade. People
- 6:41Speaker 1: who were following this development were eager to test out
- 6:44Speaker 1: this new capability, and one such GPS enthusiast, a guy
- 6:48Speaker 1: named Dave Olmer, who lived in Oregon, decided he wanted
- 6:51Speaker 1: to create a sort of GPS treasure hunt. So he
- 6:54Speaker 1: got this box and inside of it he put a
- 6:56Speaker 1: notebook and a pen and he brought it out to
- 6:58Speaker 1: the middle of the woods in Oregon, and he got
- 7:00Speaker 1: the precise GPS coordinates of where he put it, and
- 7:04Speaker 1: he took those coordinates and he went to an online
- 7:06Speaker 1: forum and he posted the coordinates and he said, go
- 7:09Speaker 1: to these coordinates, and when you get there, if you
- 7:11Speaker 1: find what you're looking for, there'll be a notebook. Record
- 7:14Speaker 1: yourself in the notebook, and I'll be out there to
- 7:16Speaker 1: check who's done this, and if your name's in there,
- 7:18Speaker 1: I'll give you credit on this forum. And so this
- 7:20Speaker 1: treasure hunt went viral and lots of people all over
- 7:23Speaker 1: the world thought it was a really cool idea to
- 7:25Speaker 1: use this new GPS technology to create treasure hunts all
- 7:29Speaker 1: over the world. So people started hiding not just treasure
- 7:31Speaker 1: chests with notebooks, but all sorts of random things all
- 7:35Speaker 1: over the world and then posting their coordinates online for
- 7:38Speaker 1: people to find. This activity was given a name geocachhing,
- 7:41Speaker 1: and it's alive and well today and it's streamlined on
- 7:44Speaker 1: the official geocaching app. But as geocashing has evolved over
- 7:48Speaker 1: the years, so too has the level of difficulty at
- 7:52Speaker 1: finding some of these caches. Sometimes it requires geocashers to
- 7:56Speaker 1: climb mountains. Other times it requires them to dive underwater,
- 7:59Speaker 1: and in one case, geocashers in the Czech Republic had
- 8:03Speaker 1: to climb into the strictly off limits five kilometer long
- 8:06Speaker 1: underground tunnel where the only two entry points were on
- 8:08Speaker 1: the two extreme ends, and to get to the geocash
- 8:11Speaker 1: you had to go to the middle of the tunnel,
- 8:13Speaker 1: and of course, periodically this tunnel completely floods. On June ninth,
- 8:18Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, four geocashers in the Czech Republic decided, you
- 8:22Speaker 1: know what, we're going to go down into that tunnel
- 8:24Speaker 1: and we're going to get that geocash. So they made
- 8:26Speaker 1: their way over to the Mitulski Brook tunnel, which was
- 8:28Speaker 1: one of the two entry points, and they climbed down inside.
- 8:31Speaker 1: The reason this tunnel periodically floods is because rainwater gets
- 8:35Speaker 1: dumped in there, and the second entry point is literally
- 8:39Speaker 1: sitting in a lake. There is literally water sitting right
- 8:42Speaker 1: up against the lip of this entry point, so even
- 8:45Speaker 1: light rain will get the lake to rise just enough
- 8:47Speaker 1: to where all the lake water pours into this tunnel.
- 8:51Speaker 1: And so the day these four geocachhers are going into
- 8:54Speaker 1: this tunnel. The weather forecast called for torrential downpours flash flooding,
- 8:59Speaker 1: and either these four geocashers were not paying attention to
- 9:02Speaker 1: the weather or they somehow thought this wouldn't affect their
- 9:05Speaker 1: ability to get this geocache. So these geocashers get down
- 9:09Speaker 1: into the tunnel and they start making their way towards
- 9:11Speaker 1: the center to collect their prize, when outside it starts
- 9:14Speaker 1: pouring rain. It rained so much, so fast that the
- 9:18Speaker 1: lake entrance started dumping tens of thousands of gallons of
- 9:22Speaker 1: water in on one side, and then on the other side,
- 9:24Speaker 1: where this other entrance was at the bottom of a hill,
- 9:27Speaker 1: you had all this water rushing in. So it was
- 9:30Speaker 1: like two huge waves of water crashing in on them.
- 9:33Speaker 1: And in fact, the survivors would say, because they were
- 9:35Speaker 1: right towards the middle of the tunnel, they heard what
- 9:37Speaker 1: sounded like a car or like a train. It was
- 9:40Speaker 1: getting closer and closer and closer, and that's when they
- 9:43Speaker 1: realized it was two waves of water crashing in on them.
- 9:46Speaker 1: In a panic, they turned and started running back towards
- 9:49Speaker 1: the entrance they came in on. But as they're running,
- 9:51Speaker 1: they're hit with this wave and two of the geocashers
- 9:54Speaker 1: got sucked underneath, and the other two were pushed up
- 9:57Speaker 1: and were basically bodies surfing their way towards the lake entrance.
- 10:01Speaker 1: And so as they're moving forward, the wave from the
- 10:03Speaker 1: lake comes in and hits them, and now the water
- 10:05Speaker 1: is dangerously close to the ceiling. And the two that
- 10:08Speaker 1: have been pushed towards the lake entrance, they don't know
- 10:10Speaker 1: what's happened to the other two, but they're just swimming
- 10:13Speaker 1: as fast as they can towards the lake entrance. And
- 10:15Speaker 1: they swam almost two kilometers in this tunnel as the
- 10:18Speaker 1: water get higher and higher and higher, and they're barely
- 10:20Speaker 1: able to breathe by the end. They only had about
- 10:22Speaker 1: a couple inches of clearance by the time they got
- 10:24Speaker 1: to the lake. And they finally pop out and they
- 10:26Speaker 1: get in the lake, and then luckily there was someone
- 10:29Speaker 1: that saw them and brought their boat over and picked
- 10:31Speaker 1: them up.
- 10:32Speaker 2: As for their two.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Friends, unfortunately, they didn't get out of there in time
- 10:35Speaker 1: and they both drowned. There's an island off the coast
- 10:42Speaker 1: of Croatia called Shulta, only nineteen kilometers long by five
- 10:46Speaker 1: kilometers wide. This tiny island is a short ferry ride
- 10:49Speaker 1: and an ideal day trip from Split, which is Croatia's
- 10:53Speaker 1: second biggest city. It's a hilly island with these beautiful
- 10:56Speaker 1: pebble beaches and absolutely crystal clear water, very popular tourist
- 11:01Speaker 1: destination that's actually famous for its honey, as well as
- 11:05Speaker 1: an underwater cave that kills virtually everyone who goes inside.
- 11:08Speaker 1: On September tenth, two thousand and two, thirty one year
- 11:11Speaker 1: old Miroslav Kuklis was enjoying a vacation with friends.
- 11:14Speaker 2: On Shulta Island. It was a little after.
- 11:16Speaker 1: Eight thirty in the evening when one of his friends
- 11:19Speaker 1: suggested they go scuba diving. Because of its beautiful clear waters,
- 11:23Speaker 1: Shulta Island is a very popular scuba diving destination, and
- 11:26Speaker 1: so as such, scuba diving takes place really at all
- 11:29Speaker 1: hours around Shoulta Island, but the vast majority of it
- 11:32Speaker 1: takes place in these safe, little alcoves where it's not
- 11:36Speaker 1: very deep and you can see fish and wildlife and
- 11:38Speaker 1: it's very controlled. But Miroslav and his friends didn't want to.
- 11:40Speaker 2: Do regular scuba diving.
- 11:42Speaker 1: They wanted to check out the underwater cave they had
- 11:45Speaker 1: heard about just south of Shulta Island in Poganica Bay.
- 11:48Speaker 1: They had heard this cave was extremely dangerous and only
- 11:52Speaker 1: expert divers were allowed to go in there. And even
- 11:55Speaker 1: though they were not expert divers, they were barely novice divers.
- 11:58Speaker 2: They thought, you know what, how bad can it be.
- 12:00Speaker 2: Let's go check it out for ourselves.
- 12:01Speaker 1: So they convinced one of the boat drivers to drive
- 12:03Speaker 1: them out to the area in Polganica Bay that sat
- 12:06Speaker 1: over where this cave entrance was, and so they put
- 12:08Speaker 1: on their gear, that hop in his boat, they drive out,
- 12:10Speaker 1: they jump in the water, and sure enough, right below
- 12:12Speaker 1: the surface, about ten meters down is this hole on
- 12:15Speaker 1: the seafloor, and that is the single entrance into this cave.
- 12:19Speaker 1: When you go in this hole, you have to go
- 12:20Speaker 1: down head first because it's so tight. And once you
- 12:23Speaker 1: go down about ten meters, you reach this junction where
- 12:26Speaker 1: to one side it leads to the shallow gallery, which
- 12:29Speaker 1: is the space that goes down to thirty six meters
- 12:32Speaker 1: and there's no other caves or entrances or anything off
- 12:34Speaker 1: of it. It's just kind of like a chasm inside
- 12:37Speaker 1: of the cave. From the junction, if you go the
- 12:39Speaker 1: other way, it brings you to the deep Gallery, which
- 12:42Speaker 1: is just a bigger version of the shallow gallery, and
- 12:45Speaker 1: it goes down to fifty seven meters. Inside of the
- 12:48Speaker 1: deep gallery, however, at the very top on the ceiling,
- 12:51Speaker 1: there is a very thin air pocket. Now, there's a
- 12:53Speaker 1: few reasons why this cave is so dangerous beyond just
- 12:57Speaker 1: being an underwater cave, which in and of itself is
- 13:00Speaker 1: quite dangerous. The first one is the visibility inside of
- 13:03Speaker 1: the cave is basically zero. The only light that comes
- 13:06Speaker 1: in is through that single entrance that leads to that junction,
- 13:09Speaker 1: but the light doesn't make it past the junction into
- 13:11Speaker 1: the two galleries, so it is truly pitch black. Inside
- 13:15Speaker 1: of those two galleries. You also have all this silt
- 13:18Speaker 1: that's caked to the inside of the cave, So as
- 13:21Speaker 1: soon as you get in there, your flippers and your movement,
- 13:23Speaker 1: it kicks the silt off the wall and muddies the
- 13:25Speaker 1: water around you to where even if you had a flashlight,
- 13:28Speaker 1: it's like driving in fog. The lights only pick up
- 13:31Speaker 1: the fog right in front of you. You can't see
- 13:33Speaker 1: beyond the fog. Well, in a tunnel, you shine your
- 13:35Speaker 1: light on silt and you're just going to see the silt,
- 13:38Speaker 1: not beyond it. So basically, going into this cave, you're
- 13:41Speaker 1: going to be blindfolded. Another significant danger of being inside
- 13:44Speaker 1: of this cave is after you've gone down to your
- 13:46Speaker 1: respective gallery, whether it's the shallow or the deep gallery,
- 13:50Speaker 1: when you're going back up again on your ascent and
- 13:52Speaker 1: you're getting to that junction point, it is possible to
- 13:55Speaker 1: confuse the other entrance to the other gallery with the
- 13:59Speaker 1: exit to the cave. And so if you make that
- 14:01Speaker 1: mistake and you go into the other gallery, remember you're blind.
- 14:05Speaker 1: He got silt kicked up, it's already dark. You need
- 14:07Speaker 1: to by touch figure out you've made a mistake, and
- 14:10Speaker 1: then backtrack and go out the right way you came.
- 14:13Speaker 2: And so if you're low on air and you make
- 14:15Speaker 2: this mistake, you.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Better hope you catch it fast enough that you can
- 14:18Speaker 1: get out before your air runs out. So a little
- 14:20Speaker 1: after nine to fifteen pm, Miroslav goes in first, followed
- 14:23Speaker 1: by his other two friends. Miroslav reaches the junction and
- 14:26Speaker 1: he turns towards the deep gallery. He goes all the
- 14:29Speaker 1: way down to fifty seven meters, he touches the bottom,
- 14:32Speaker 1: He turns around and he starts.
- 14:33Speaker 2: Making his ascent. On the way up, he gets to
- 14:36Speaker 2: the junction and.
- 14:37Speaker 1: He makes the critical mistake of going into the shallow gallery,
- 14:41Speaker 1: believing that is the exit of the cave. He probably
- 14:44Speaker 1: got in there, bumped his head, started feeling around, He's
- 14:47Speaker 1: kicking up silt, he's starting to panic. He's looking for
- 14:49Speaker 1: the way out again. He finds the exit to the junction,
- 14:52Speaker 1: but instead of taking the exit out of the cave,
- 14:54Speaker 1: he makes the same mistake again and goes into the
- 14:57Speaker 1: deep gallery. And now he's in the deep. He's feeling around,
- 15:01Speaker 1: he's running low on air, and based on his dive computer,
- 15:03Speaker 1: he was fumbling around in there for quite some time.
- 15:06Speaker 1: And having spent some time underwater myself in the pitch
- 15:09Speaker 1: black as an aavy seal, I can tell you that
- 15:11Speaker 1: it's very easy to imagine, you know, oh, it would
- 15:14Speaker 1: be so easy to stay calm and have your bearings
- 15:16Speaker 1: and know where you are, But when you are completely
- 15:19Speaker 1: in total pitch black underwater, it actually is hard to
- 15:22Speaker 1: tell what's up what's down. You can feel the pressure
- 15:24Speaker 1: in your ears, that's a good way to tell where
- 15:27Speaker 1: you are in the water. But you know, realistically, it's
- 15:30Speaker 1: totally possible to get completely disoriented underwater. And my guess
- 15:34Speaker 1: is Miroslav was totally disoriented, and so he stopped and
- 15:37Speaker 1: he's trying to make sense of what's happening. And at
- 15:39Speaker 1: some point Miroslav must have looked at his air gauge
- 15:42Speaker 1: and realized, I'm out of air now, and he made
- 15:45Speaker 1: one last push to try to get to the surface,
- 15:47Speaker 1: but he hit a ceiling and that's when he realized,
- 15:50Speaker 1: based on maybe the touch and feel, maybe he took
- 15:52Speaker 1: his gloves off and he's feeling around, he felt that
- 15:54Speaker 1: he was in the air pocket, that thin amount of
- 15:56Speaker 1: air that sat right at the top of the deep Gallery.
- 15:59Speaker 1: He must have realized at this point that there was
- 16:01Speaker 1: so little air down here that he probably only had
- 16:04Speaker 1: maybe a few minutes that he could be down here
- 16:06Speaker 1: breathing before he was going to drown. And in terms
- 16:09Speaker 1: of making his ascent to the surface on a breath hold,
- 16:12Speaker 1: the only place where there's an air pocket is the
- 16:14Speaker 1: deep Gallery, and so probably he knew that, and so
- 16:17Speaker 1: he's thinking, I'm, you know, maybe forty to fifty meters
- 16:20Speaker 1: under the surface right now, and I could barely catch
- 16:23Speaker 1: my breath. Now, I'm not going to be able to
- 16:25Speaker 1: hold my breath to the surface. And so, staring down
- 16:28Speaker 1: a certain horrific drowning death, he pulled out his dive
- 16:32Speaker 1: knife and he plunged it into his heart, and when
- 16:35Speaker 1: they did his autopsy later, it would show he did
- 16:38Speaker 1: not drown. He died because he had a knife in
- 16:40Speaker 1: his heart. Back on the surface, the other two divers
- 16:43Speaker 1: had gotten out successfully and they're in the boat and
- 16:45Speaker 1: they're waiting for Miroslav. But after over an hour went
- 16:48Speaker 1: by and he hadn't surfaced, they contacted the police. The
- 16:51Speaker 1: police show up and they send two special divers down
- 16:54Speaker 1: into the cave to look for Miroslav. One of those
- 16:57Speaker 1: divers was a twenty five year old named Oliver Merritt.
- 17:00Speaker 1: And so these two divers go down and they're looking
- 17:02Speaker 1: for Miroslav and they can't find him, and they're running
- 17:04Speaker 1: out of air, and on their ascent, Oliver marriage makes
- 17:08Speaker 1: the same mistake that Miroslav did and gets trapped inside
- 17:11Speaker 1: of the shallow gallery. The other diver initially made that
- 17:15Speaker 1: mistake but managed to get out again, but Oliver went
- 17:18Speaker 1: back and forth between the deep and the shallow gallery
- 17:20Speaker 1: until he too drowned in that cave. It would take
- 17:23Speaker 1: three days for the police to find and remove Miroslav
- 17:26Speaker 1: and Oliver from this cave. And to this day, the
- 17:29Speaker 1: police warn divers not to go in this cave unless
- 17:33Speaker 1: they're experienced enough to be going in there. But year
- 17:36Speaker 1: after year and experienced divers tried their luck inside of
- 17:39Speaker 1: this cave and they make that same mistake, they get
- 17:42Speaker 1: trapped and they die.
- 17:43Speaker 2: So that's going to do it. Guys.
