0:28
Speaker 2: let's get into today's stories.
0:42
Speaker 1: On December twentieth, twenty nineteen, fourteen year old Harley Dilly
0:45
Speaker 1: was on his way to school. It was the last
0:47
Speaker 1: day before vacation and he was furious with his parents.
0:50
Speaker 1: The night before, he had gotten into a huge fight
0:53
Speaker 1: with them and as punishment, they had confiscated his phone.
0:56
Speaker 1: That afternoon, Harley did not come home, so his parents
0:59
Speaker 1: called the school to say, hey, hey, have you seen
1:00
Speaker 1: our son? And they said, well, we know he was
1:02
Speaker 1: here today, but we don't know where he went after that,
1:04
Speaker 1: So the parents called some of Harley's friends, and none
1:07
Speaker 1: of his friends had seen him after school. His parents
1:10
Speaker 1: were worried, but they had seen this kind of behavior
1:12
Speaker 1: before when Harley.
1:13
Speaker 2: Got really mad.
1:14
Speaker 1: He had a history of running away from the house
1:17
Speaker 1: and staying out overnight.
1:18
Speaker 2: He usually crashed with some friend and they would cover
1:21
Speaker 2: for him, or sometimes he.
1:22
Speaker 1: Would even sleep in abandoned buildings, and so that day
1:25
Speaker 1: the police were not called.
1:26
Speaker 2: The next day, when Harley still didn't show up, the.
1:29
Speaker 1: Parents started to get a little bit more worried, and
1:31
Speaker 1: because their son didn't even have his phone, they had
1:34
Speaker 1: no way of getting in touch with him, and so
1:36
Speaker 1: they finally said, we've got to go to the police.
1:38
Speaker 1: And so the police launched a formal search for him,
1:40
Speaker 1: and right away there was no leads.
1:42
Speaker 2: Nobody knew where he was.
1:44
Speaker 1: Weeks went by and the family was putting up posters
1:47
Speaker 1: all over town telling their son that you're not in trouble,
1:50
Speaker 1: please come home, and everybody in the community is out
1:52
Speaker 1: there looking for Harley, but there was just no sign
1:55
Speaker 1: of him. Finally, almost a month after he had gone missing,
1:58
Speaker 1: the police received a tip. The house across the street
2:00
Speaker 1: from Harley's house was a vacant home because the owners
2:03
Speaker 1: were actually renovating the property, so they weren't living there,
2:05
Speaker 1: but they had cameras set up on the outside, and
2:08
Speaker 1: one of their cameras, when they reviewed it, picked up
2:10
Speaker 1: Harley walking towards their property on the day he went missing.
2:13
Speaker 1: And so the police show up at this property. The
2:15
Speaker 1: owners show up, they give them the key. The police
2:17
Speaker 1: go inside. They're yelling for Harley. They check all the
2:20
Speaker 1: doors and all the windows and everything is locked. There's
2:22
Speaker 1: no sign of a break in. They go upstairs and
2:25
Speaker 1: in one of the bedrooms they see there's a jacket
2:27
Speaker 1: lying on the ground, and it would turn out to
2:28
Speaker 1: be Harley's. It was the same one he had on
2:30
Speaker 1: when he went missing. And next to the jacket on
2:33
Speaker 1: the ground is this weird metal plate. And so after
2:35
Speaker 1: seeing this, the police believe Harley must be up on
2:37
Speaker 1: the second floor somewhere.
2:39
Speaker 2: He must have been hiding out in this vacant house
2:41
Speaker 2: the whole time.
2:42
Speaker 1: They don't know how he got in, but clearly this
2:44
Speaker 1: is his stuff, and so they start yelling for him
2:46
Speaker 1: and walking around the second floor and it's silence. There's
2:49
Speaker 1: no sign of Harley, and so they go back in
2:51
Speaker 1: the room where his jacket and his plate is and
2:53
Speaker 1: they look up on the wall and pretty high up
2:56
Speaker 1: there's a hole in the wall and it looks to
2:58
Speaker 1: be about the same size as this metal plate, and
3:00
Speaker 1: they realized this plate is actually a vent cover, and
3:03
Speaker 1: that is a vent. Suddenly police believe this could be
3:05
Speaker 1: a lot more sinister, that perhaps someone had harmed Harley
3:09
Speaker 1: and then taken evidence and stuffed it into.
3:11
Speaker 2: A vent inside of a vacant house.
3:13
Speaker 1: So one of the officers gets a stool, they put
3:15
Speaker 1: it in front of this vent. They climb on top
3:17
Speaker 1: and they reach in to feel around for more evidence,
3:19
Speaker 1: and as soon as they reach in, they'd touch something
3:21
Speaker 1: and they pull their hand back out and they say
3:23
Speaker 1: there's a person in there.
3:24
Speaker 2: And it would turn out the person inside of there
3:26
Speaker 2: was Harley and he was deceased.
3:27
Speaker 1: Although no one knows exactly what happened to Harley, the
3:30
Speaker 1: leading theory is he climbed onto the roof of this
3:33
Speaker 1: vacant home on the day he went missing, and he
3:35
Speaker 1: looked down the chimney. There was no cap on it,
3:37
Speaker 1: and from his perspective, it looked like he'd be able
3:40
Speaker 1: to fit all the way down to the bottom.
3:42
Speaker 2: But What he didn't know was.
3:43
Speaker 1: This chimney was wider at the top, and then as
3:45
Speaker 1: it went down it got narrower and narrower and narrower,
3:49
Speaker 1: and in fact, the most narrow section towards the lower half,
3:52
Speaker 1: he never could have got through. This was an impossible
3:55
Speaker 1: thing he was trying to do. But regardless, he went
3:57
Speaker 1: in feet first and he began making his way down,
4:00
Speaker 1: and then about the halfway point, he started to get stuck,
4:03
Speaker 1: and he believed it was because of.
4:04
Speaker 2: His big, bulky jacket.
4:05
Speaker 1: And as it happened, he was right in front of
4:07
Speaker 1: this hole in the wall which was the vent, and
4:09
Speaker 1: so he managed to punch the metal plate off of
4:12
Speaker 1: the vent. He got his jacket off, and he forced
4:14
Speaker 1: it through this hole, thinking that would give him a
4:16
Speaker 1: little bit more room, and it did.
4:18
Speaker 2: He began to sink a.
4:18
Speaker 1: Little bit further, a little bit further, and then he
4:21
Speaker 1: decides to put both arms over his head to try
4:24
Speaker 1: to make himself as narrow as possible, and it works.
4:26
Speaker 1: He starts to move down, but at some point he
4:29
Speaker 1: gets completely stuck, and he's struggling to breathe because the
4:31
Speaker 1: chimney is tight in his chest and he's got his
4:33
Speaker 1: arms over his head, and he's starting to panic and
4:35
Speaker 1: he lets out a scream. But as soon as he
4:37
Speaker 1: does that, the air coming out of his lungs causes
4:40
Speaker 1: his chest to compress, and he sinks just a little
4:43
Speaker 1: bit lower into that tight section of the chimney. And
4:45
Speaker 1: as soon as he comes to a stop, he tries
4:47
Speaker 1: to breathe back in again, but his chest can no
4:49
Speaker 1: longer expand to its full size, so he can't get
4:52
Speaker 1: a full breath, and so over and over and over again.
4:55
Speaker 1: As he's screaming and yelling for help, he's compressing his
4:57
Speaker 1: chest and.
4:58
Speaker 2: Sinking farther and far into this inescapable.
5:01
Speaker 1: Trap, until he reaches a point where he cannot go
5:04
Speaker 1: any lower, and his chest is crushed by the chimney.
5:07
Speaker 2: He can barely catch his breath. His arms are stuck
5:09
Speaker 2: over his head and his feet.
5:10
Speaker 1: Are dangling off the ground, and that is how he
5:12
Speaker 1: would stay until he suffocated to death in two thousand
5:19
Speaker 1: and two. Sean Doyle was a twenty five year old
5:22
Speaker 1: bartender who worked at a restaurant in Lower Manhattan in
5:24
Speaker 1: New York City. His regulars described him as a little
5:27
Speaker 1: guy who was very cordial and very friendly. He lived
5:30
Speaker 1: not that far away from the restaurant in an apartment
5:32
Speaker 1: building with his sister Shannon and his dog Emmett, And
5:34
Speaker 1: just down the hall from him was his good friend,
5:36
Speaker 1: forty seven year old Michael Wright.
5:38
Speaker 2: Sewn and Michael made.
5:39
Speaker 1: An odd pair, not only because of their age difference,
5:42
Speaker 1: but because Michael was actually a huge guy, so the
5:44
Speaker 1: size differential was massive, but they were best buds and
5:47
Speaker 1: they hung out all the time. On December thirteenth of
5:49
Speaker 1: that year, Seawn had just worked a double. He got
5:52
Speaker 1: back to the apartment building and he was ready to
5:54
Speaker 1: cut loose for the weekend. And as soon as he
5:56
Speaker 1: got onto his floor, he looked down the hall and
5:58
Speaker 1: he saw Michael and his girlfriend get ready to go
6:00
Speaker 1: out for the night, and they flagged him down and said, hey,
6:02
Speaker 1: you should join us, and.
6:03
Speaker 2: Sean said, perfect, this is exactly what I wanted.
6:06
Speaker 1: And so he ran in his apartment, he dropped his stuff,
6:08
Speaker 1: he changed, came back out, and they headed to the
6:10
Speaker 1: bars that night.
6:11
Speaker 2: The trio had a great.
6:12
Speaker 1: Time bar hopping all over Lower Manhattan, and then sometime
6:15
Speaker 1: in the early morning hours of December fourteenth, they decided
6:18
Speaker 1: that they had enough to drink, and it was time
6:20
Speaker 1: to go home. Now where they were was only a
6:22
Speaker 1: couple blocks away from their apartment building, so they decided
6:24
Speaker 1: they would just walk, and so they get out of
6:26
Speaker 1: the street and they start walking home, and at some point,
6:29
Speaker 1: Michael gets the impression that Sean is hitting on his girlfriend.
6:32
Speaker 1: It's unclear what gave him this impression, but apparently he
6:35
Speaker 1: really believed it, because as soon as he saw it,
6:37
Speaker 1: he launched an attack on Sean and started just beating
6:40
Speaker 1: him up in the middle of the street. Witnesses who
6:42
Speaker 1: lived in the apartments that were overlooking the street would
6:45
Speaker 1: later say they heard a scuffle outside, and they looked
6:47
Speaker 1: out the window and they saw a big guy wailing
6:50
Speaker 1: on a little guy. Then, with the whole neighborhood watching
6:53
Speaker 1: the big guy, Michael picked up the little guy, Sean,
6:56
Speaker 1: and shoved him, and Sean flew backwards and he ran
6:59
Speaker 1: into this plastic chimney that was over this man hole.
7:02
Speaker 1: It was there to let steam escape and also to
7:05
Speaker 1: make sure nobody went in the manhole. But when Sewn
7:07
Speaker 1: rammed into it, it toffled over, exposing the man hole,
7:10
Speaker 1: and Sean fell eighteen feet to the bottom of it.
7:13
Speaker 1: As soon as he landed witnesses would say they heard
7:16
Speaker 1: a blood curdling scream. It would turn out the hole
7:18
Speaker 1: he had fallen into was filled with boiling water and
7:21
Speaker 1: scalding steam because of a nearby steam main leak. When
7:25
Speaker 1: police and paramedics arrived, they heard Sean screaming from the hole,
7:28
Speaker 1: and so they ran over and they get to the
7:30
Speaker 1: edge of the hole and they try to look down
7:32
Speaker 1: to get a look at Sean, but they're hit with
7:34
Speaker 1: the steam and it's so hot, and to back up,
7:36
Speaker 1: and finally the steam clears and they get a look
7:38
Speaker 1: at Sean and he's just standing in the middle of
7:40
Speaker 1: this hole, up to his waist in water. He's obviously
7:42
Speaker 1: an excruciating pain, and he's just reaching up for them
7:45
Speaker 1: as back as arch and he's pleading with them to
7:48
Speaker 1: get him out of this hole.
7:49
Speaker 2: They turned off the steam mane.
7:50
Speaker 1: And they tried to lower something down to him to
7:52
Speaker 1: try to pull him out, but his body was starting
7:54
Speaker 1: to shut down and he couldn't grab on, so they
7:57
Speaker 1: considered sending a person down to try to put a
7:59
Speaker 1: harness on him and try to get him out that way,
8:01
Speaker 1: But even with the steam maine off, it was over
8:03
Speaker 1: three hundred degrees inside of this hole, so no one
8:06
Speaker 1: could go down there, and so knowing they could not
8:08
Speaker 1: help him, police, paramedics and other onlookers just had to
8:12
Speaker 1: walk around the outside of this hole with their hands
8:14
Speaker 1: on their heads, listening to Shawn's desperate pleas for help,
8:18
Speaker 1: and finally, after ten minutes of.
8:20
Speaker 2: Agony, it went quiet.
8:21
Speaker 1: It would take four more hours for that hole to
8:23
Speaker 1: cool off enough that they could send someone down to
8:25
Speaker 1: retrieve his body. Judy Melanich, the famous New York medical
8:28
Speaker 1: examiner who did Shawn's autopsy, wrote in her book Working
8:32
Speaker 1: Stiff that Shawn's death was the worst one she'd ever
8:35
Speaker 1: seen in her entire career. His fight with Michael and
8:38
Speaker 1: his fall into the hole did not contribute to his death.
8:41
Speaker 1: His actual cause of death was being steamed alive. But
8:44
Speaker 1: what makes this the worst death ever is that steam burns,
8:47
Speaker 1: no matter how severe, do not destroy nerve endings the
8:51
Speaker 1: way flames do, which means Sean would have felt everything.
8:55
Speaker 1: Michael was charged with second degree murder, However it's not
8:58
Speaker 1: listed online whether or not he was found guilty or what.
9:00
Speaker 2: His sentence was.
9:05
Speaker 1: In two thousand and three, twenty seven year old Kurt
9:08
Speaker 1: Smith was employed as an engineer for the German shipping
9:11
Speaker 1: company called Hapag Lloyd. Over the past year, he had
9:14
Speaker 1: completed two separate four month long deployments with this company,
9:17
Speaker 1: and he enjoyed the work enough that he asked for
9:19
Speaker 1: a contract extension. It was granted, and on July eleventh
9:22
Speaker 1: of that year, he boarded the CM London Express to
9:25
Speaker 1: begin his third deployment. Three months into it, one of
9:28
Speaker 1: the ship's pistons broke. The piston is the part of
9:30
Speaker 1: the engine that goes up and down inside the hollow
9:33
Speaker 1: cylinder of the engine block.
9:34
Speaker 2: They would need to turn off the engine in.
9:36
Speaker 1: Order to make this repair, and so they made an
9:38
Speaker 1: unplanned stop in Savannah, Georgia.
9:40
Speaker 2: Once they got there.
9:41
Speaker 1: Kurt, along with seven people under his command, headed down
9:44
Speaker 1: to the engine room to begin the process. Over the
9:46
Speaker 1: next several hours, the men were able to extract the
9:48
Speaker 1: broken piston and put in the new one.
9:50
Speaker 2: But this was backbreaking work.
9:52
Speaker 1: It was so hot, and the engine room, what they're
9:54
Speaker 1: moving around is so heavy and cumbersome, and they're all
9:57
Speaker 1: bickering with each other, and at some point Kurt called
9:59
Speaker 1: out the foreman for being lazy, and the foreman did
10:02
Speaker 1: not like that, and he was very popular amongst this group,
10:05
Speaker 1: and so by the end of getting the piston back in,
10:07
Speaker 1: everybody in there just totally resented Kurt. But ultimately they
10:10
Speaker 1: got it done and Kurt cut everybody loose except for
10:13
Speaker 1: the foreman. He told him he needed to stay back
10:15
Speaker 1: and help him ensure all the pistons were properly installed.
10:18
Speaker 1: To do that, they would need to go inside of
10:20
Speaker 1: something called the Scavenger air receiver, which is this tube
10:23
Speaker 1: that's fifty five feet long by five feet wide with
10:26
Speaker 1: access hatches on either side, and it sits right next
10:28
Speaker 1: to the engine block. Each hatch on either end had
10:31
Speaker 1: three latches on the outside that were called dogs. And
10:34
Speaker 1: so Kurt undid the three dogs on his hatch.
10:36
Speaker 2: And he opened it up.
10:37
Speaker 1: He crawled inside of the tube with a flashlight and
10:39
Speaker 1: he began crawling, and on his left side were these
10:41
Speaker 1: square cutouts, these windows called scavenger boards, that looked into
10:45
Speaker 1: each of the engine cylinders, And so Kurt crawled along,
10:48
Speaker 1: counting the different cylinders until he got to the sixth one,
10:50
Speaker 1: which is where they had replaced that piston. Meanwhile, the
10:53
Speaker 1: foreman went around to the aft hatch. He under the
10:55
Speaker 1: three dogs. He opened up the hatch and then using
10:57
Speaker 1: a remote controlled device, he was able to bring the
11:00
Speaker 1: pistons into positions safely so Kurt could inspect them through
11:03
Speaker 1: the scavenger port. The procedure on the ship was if
11:06
Speaker 1: you were inspecting one cylinder, the expectation was is you
11:09
Speaker 1: would inspect all of them, and that entire process took
11:11
Speaker 1: about an hour, and Kurt just didn't feel like doing it.
11:14
Speaker 1: He was tired, he had a bad day, he was hungry,
11:16
Speaker 1: and so after he was certain the new piston was
11:18
Speaker 1: working just fine, he kind of rushed his checks on
11:21
Speaker 1: the other cylinders, and after only about twenty minutes he
11:24
Speaker 1: told the foreman that yep, we're good.
11:25
Speaker 2: We can leave. So he and the foreman got out,
11:27
Speaker 2: They dogged their hatches.
11:29
Speaker 1: And they headed up to their rooms to change their
11:31
Speaker 1: captain had been told they had to leave port no
11:33
Speaker 1: later than nine thirty that night because a huge tanker
11:36
Speaker 1: was coming in and there'd be no space for them.
11:38
Speaker 1: But at eight pm, as everyone is running around prepping
11:40
Speaker 1: the ship, somebody noticed Kurt was not at his workstation.
11:44
Speaker 1: The chief engineer called down to the engine room to
11:46
Speaker 1: ask anyone down there if they had seen Kurt, but
11:48
Speaker 1: nobody had, so a sailor was sent down to Kurt's
11:50
Speaker 1: cabin to see if he was in there, but he wasn't.
11:53
Speaker 1: At this point, because they only had about an hour
11:55
Speaker 1: until they were departing, they had to find Kurt.
11:57
Speaker 2: So they sounded the alarm on their ship, which.
11:59
Speaker 1: Was a lot little bit premature, but they figured, let's
12:01
Speaker 1: get everybody involved and just find Kurt, and so everybody
12:04
Speaker 1: stopped what they were doing and began searching the ship.
12:07
Speaker 1: During the search, a sailor was down near the Scavenger
12:09
Speaker 1: air recovery space and he noticed on the forward hatch
12:12
Speaker 1: there was a little piece of rag poking out of
12:14
Speaker 1: the top right corner of the forward hatch and the
12:17
Speaker 1: lower two dogs were not set. He knew they were
12:19
Speaker 1: having issues getting a good seal on this particular hatch
12:22
Speaker 1: because there was a dibbot in one of the O rings,
12:24
Speaker 1: and so he figured someone must have put a rag
12:27
Speaker 1: right over that dibbot to try to help seal this hatch,
12:30
Speaker 1: and they just forgot to shut the two lower dogs. Now,
12:32
Speaker 1: it did cross this sailor's mind that Kurt could have
12:35
Speaker 1: gotten inside of the Scavenger air recovery space and then
12:38
Speaker 1: somehow got locked inside, and so he did want to investigate. However,
12:42
Speaker 1: there was a very strict policy about who was allowed
12:45
Speaker 1: to actually open up these scavenger air recovery hatches, and
12:48
Speaker 1: it wasn't the sailor. It was only the foreman, the
12:51
Speaker 1: chief engineer, and Kurt. And so this sailor decided to
12:54
Speaker 1: play it safe and just close the lower two dogs,
12:56
Speaker 1: and then told his superior that there was this weird
12:59
Speaker 1: rag poking out of the forward hatch and that someone
13:01
Speaker 1: should go down there and open it up and see
13:03
Speaker 1: if Kurt's inside, And so his superior went and told
13:06
Speaker 1: the chief engineer. And so as the chief engineer is
13:09
Speaker 1: making his way down to check on this strange rag situation,
13:12
Speaker 1: the foreman, completely independently had gone around to the back
13:15
Speaker 1: of the scavenger unit to the aft hatch, so not
13:18
Speaker 1: the one with the.
13:18
Speaker 2: Rag poking out of it, and he unlocked the three dogs.
13:21
Speaker 1: He opened the hatch, he looked inside and shined his light,
13:23
Speaker 1: didn't see anyone, shut the hatch, locked all three dogs,
13:26
Speaker 1: and then began to walk away, right as the chief
13:28
Speaker 1: engineer came down and saw him, and he saw him
13:31
Speaker 1: securing the scavenger air unit, and he said, hey, I
13:33
Speaker 1: was just coming down here to check to make sure
13:35
Speaker 1: Kurt wasn't in there, and you just checked, right, He's
13:37
Speaker 1: not in there.
13:37
Speaker 2: And the foreman said, yeah, no one's in there. It's
13:39
Speaker 2: all good.
13:40
Speaker 1: And so the two of them, the foreman and the
13:41
Speaker 1: chief engineer, did not check on the rag.
13:43
Speaker 2: They just left.
13:44
Speaker 1: The search for Kurt continued on the ship, but they
13:46
Speaker 1: could not find him, and so as nine point thirty
13:49
Speaker 1: was approaching, the captain called the poort authority. Then he said, hey,
13:52
Speaker 1: we're down someone. Can you please send someone out to
13:54
Speaker 1: look around? And so a search on the land began,
13:57
Speaker 1: but they couldn't find Kurt, and so finally nine thirty
13:59
Speaker 1: came around and the big container ship that was supposed
14:01
Speaker 1: to come in and take their place was just waiting
14:04
Speaker 1: right out in the water for them to leave. And
14:06
Speaker 1: so the captain did his best to linger for another
14:08
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen minutes, but finally they were forced to lead,
14:11
Speaker 1: even though they had no idea where Kurt was.
14:13
Speaker 2: So they fired up the engine and they left.
14:15
Speaker 1: The general consensus on the ship was that Kurt must
14:17
Speaker 1: have fallen overboard and drowned, or maybe he ran ashore
14:21
Speaker 1: and ran off, but that was very unlike him, and
14:23
Speaker 1: so an investigation was launched, but it would probably be
14:25
Speaker 1: a while before anybody found out.
14:27
Speaker 2: What happened to him.
14:28
Speaker 1: Finally, two days later they arrived in port at Norfolk, Virginia.
14:31
Speaker 2: They powered off the engine and they got.
14:32
Speaker 1: The ship ready to be put into harbor mode, where
14:35
Speaker 1: basically they opened up all the hatches and they prepped
14:37
Speaker 1: it to sit there for a while. And during that process,
14:39
Speaker 1: the foreman went down to the Scavenger air recovery space
14:42
Speaker 1: and he opened up.
14:42
Speaker 2: The forward hatch and he found Kurt.
14:44
Speaker 1: Although no one has all the details of what happened
14:47
Speaker 1: to Kurt, the leading theory is two days earlier, when
14:50
Speaker 1: he had done that abbreviated check of the engine cylinders,
14:53
Speaker 1: when he had basically cut it short with the foreman
14:55
Speaker 1: because he just didn't want to do it, he had
14:56
Speaker 1: gotten back up to his room and started to think
14:58
Speaker 1: to himself that if anything goes wrong with any of
15:01
Speaker 1: those pistons, that I'm going to be to blame because
15:03
Speaker 1: the foreman was with me, and I called the foreman
15:05
Speaker 1: lazy earlier. He doesn't like me, and so he's bound
15:08
Speaker 1: to turn me in. So Kurt decided he would go
15:10
Speaker 1: back down and do a more thorough check. But he
15:12
Speaker 1: didn't want anybody to know he was second guessing himself,
15:15
Speaker 1: and so he was going to do this alone, even
15:17
Speaker 1: though it was a huge no no to go inside
15:19
Speaker 1: of the Scavenger air unit by yourself, because if you
15:22
Speaker 1: managed to get stuck in there by yourself, horrible things
15:25
Speaker 1: are gonna happen to you, and there's nothing you can
15:27
Speaker 1: do to stop it.
15:28
Speaker 2: But Kurt was confident, so he headed down.
15:30
Speaker 1: He undogged the forward hatch, he swung it inside, he
15:32
Speaker 1: climbed in with a flashlight, and then somehow, once he
15:35
Speaker 1: got inside, he managed to fall backwards and hit the
15:39
Speaker 1: hatch door so hard that it swung shut, slammed, causing
15:42
Speaker 1: the upper dog to swivel and rotate down and lock
15:45
Speaker 1: him inside. He knew that nobody knew he was in there.
15:48
Speaker 1: He had made sure that nobody knew he was in there.
15:51
Speaker 1: He's screamed for help, but nobody could hear him. The
15:53
Speaker 1: ship was so loud as it was, and being inside
15:55
Speaker 1: of this tunnel, no sounds getting out of it.
15:58
Speaker 2: And so he's looking around.
15:59
Speaker 1: Thinking what he should do, and he looks back at
16:01
Speaker 1: the door, the one that's sealed right behind him, and
16:03
Speaker 1: he sees the very top crack, there's a tiny sliver
16:06
Speaker 1: of light. Because even though one dog had sealed him in,
16:09
Speaker 1: because the other two had not, there was a little
16:12
Speaker 1: gap in the seal. And so he thought, if he
16:13
Speaker 1: can just wedge his dirty rag into that little space
16:16
Speaker 1: and push it out onto the other side, someone will
16:19
Speaker 1: see it, will clearly recognize there is a foreign object
16:22
Speaker 1: hanging off of the forward hatch, and they'll have to
16:24
Speaker 1: open it up and they'll find me. And so once
16:27
Speaker 1: he wedged his rag up and threw, he was confident
16:29
Speaker 1: he would be found. And so he slouched down against
16:32
Speaker 1: the back of the hatch and he just sat there.
16:34
Speaker 2: Waiting to be found.
16:35
Speaker 1: And then a little while later he heard the sound
16:37
Speaker 1: of somebody not opening the hatch behind him as he
16:40
Speaker 1: thought they would, but instead locking the two dogs making
16:44
Speaker 1: sure it doesn't open. He must have got up and
16:46
Speaker 1: turned around and screamed for them, but again they can't
16:48
Speaker 1: hear him.
16:49
Speaker 2: And then a couple.
16:50
Speaker 1: Of minutes later, on the other side of the tube,
16:52
Speaker 1: fifty five feet away, the aft hatch opened up briefly.
16:56
Speaker 1: Somebody shined their light in, it didn't hit him. He
16:58
Speaker 1: tried to yell for them it didn't hear him, and
17:01
Speaker 1: then he saw them shut the hatch and he heard
17:03
Speaker 1: the sound of them locking all three dogs. At this point,
17:06
Speaker 1: you got to figure that Kurt's fear is at a
17:08
Speaker 1: primal level. He knows, at any moment, if somebody doesn't
17:10
Speaker 1: get him out of here, this is going to become
17:12
Speaker 1: a death trap. And so as he's looking around just
17:15
Speaker 1: wondering what's going to happen, he would have felt the
17:17
Speaker 1: incredible pressure start to build up in his ears. It
17:19
Speaker 1: would have taken him to his knees, who had been
17:21
Speaker 1: crushing in his skull, and he would have heard the
17:23
Speaker 1: sound of each of the hatches being pressed up against
17:25
Speaker 1: their o ring as the room began to pressurize. And
17:28
Speaker 1: then he would have heard the sound of the pistons
17:30
Speaker 1: beginning to churn inside of the engine cylinder right next
17:32
Speaker 1: to him, And at that point he would know there's
17:35
Speaker 1: no hope, and slowly, horribly, that room would begin to
17:39
Speaker 1: heat up until Kurt.
17:40
Speaker 2: Was cooked alive. So that's going to do it, guys.
