Part 1 of 2.

During a routine maintenance check on a submerged oil pipeline, a team of five experienced divers encountered a catastrophic event. An unforeseen error during their work triggered a powerful suction effect commonly referred to as DELTA P within the pipeline, rapidly pulling all five divers into its depths.

00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:05.599
I I thought it.

2
00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:12.199
An unbelievable nightmaent your eyes burning every time I tried

3
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:13.519
to open your eyes.

4
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:14.400
A burning.

5
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:19.800
Out.

8
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:52.159
During routine maintenance on a submerged oil pipeline, a team

9
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:57.600
of five experienced divers encountered a catastrophic event. An unforeseen

10
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:02.320
error during their work triggered a powerful suction effect commonly

11
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:07.000
referred to as delta p within the pipeline, rapidly pulling

12
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:11.319
all five divers into its depths. While the situation was dire,

13
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:16.439
the possibility of rescue remained. However, a series of missteps

14
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:21.120
during the subsequent rescue operation meant that no genuine attempt

15
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:24.200
to save the trapp divers was ever made. In the

16
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:28.719
aftermath of the tragedy, a series of accusations of prioritization

17
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:32.280
of cost cutting over human life were made. Four of

18
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:36.480
the five divers tragically lost their lives. Only one diver,

19
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.640
against all odds, managed to survive the ordeal and escape

20
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:45.719
the pipeline's deadly grasped. His name is Christopher Boudram, and

21
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:47.760
this is his story.

22
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:02.200
I think everyone had a bit of a fascination with

23
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:03.519
the dark side.

24
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:09.520
I myself Wilways love the dark side as well. I

25
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:13.000
think it's something that everyone secretly longs for in walks.

26
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:21.120
But then our second it was like, I just remember

27
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:24.639
going oo, literally pipe an unbelievable speed.

28
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:40.039
The dark Side, the dark side of the dark Side.

29
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:48.159
The Pariah diving disaster occurred on February twenty fifth, twenty

30
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:52.840
twenty two, around three pm, when five divers were conducting

31
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:56.520
repairs on an oil pipeline owned by the Pariah Fuel

32
00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:01.120
Trading Company near point A Pier in Trinidad. Trinidad is

33
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:03.479
an island that can be found off the north coast

34
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:07.039
of Venezuela in the Caribbean Sea, and Point A Pier

35
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:11.080
is known for being the site of the country's largest

36
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:15.240
state run oil company. The divers in the pipeline that

37
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:20.319
day were unaware of a dangerous differential pressure situation often

38
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.759
referred to as delta p that had been created when

39
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:26.599
the pipe was cleared of oil almost a month earlier.

40
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.000
As four of the divers worked to remove an inflatable

41
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:34.240
plug from the pipeline, the differential pressure caused a vortex

42
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:37.919
that immediately sucked them into the pipe. The immense force

43
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.840
of the suction made it impossible for them to resist.

44
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:44.560
They were sucked down fifteen meters before hitting a sharp

45
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:48.159
right angle at full force. The impact is likely what

46
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.919
crush some of the diver's bones, and then they were

47
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:55.159
dragged two hundred meters Laterally, for my fellow Americans, that's

48
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:59.319
about two football fields or two soccer fields, going at

49
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.560
the speed of about two meters per second, dragged through

50
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.960
oil in the dark on a bed of hard metal pipe.

51
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:12.360
One of the divers, Christopher Budrum, miraculously managed to escape

52
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.960
by crawling through the pipeline for three grueling hours until

53
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.920
he finally reached safety. Sadly, the four other divers were

54
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:23.600
unable to escape and lost their lives inside the pipeline.

55
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:27.680
Their names were Kasim Ali Junior thirty six years old,

56
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:30.439
who will be referred to as Kaz in the story,

57
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:35.399
Yusef Henry thirty one years old, known as yuz Faisal

58
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:40.199
Kurban unknown age known as Phizi or Phiz, and Rishi

59
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:45.560
Nagasar forty eight years old. A GoPro camera was recovered

60
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.279
from one of the deceased divers, and it provided a

61
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:52.600
harrowing account of the tragedy. The audio recording captured the

62
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:55.480
voices of all five men as they were suddenly pulled

63
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:58.879
into the pipeline. They can later be heard praying, comforting

64
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:02.120
each other, and express icing their fears and desperations as

65
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:05.680
they realized the gravity of their situation. The following is

66
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:09.160
real unedited footage from that go pro camera.

67
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:41.759
Yeah, I don't know.

68
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:56.680
The Pariah Fuel Trading Company was a state owned company

69
00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:00.480
responsible for the pipeline, and they faced severe critics for

70
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.160
their handling of the rescue efforts. Perile was criticized for

71
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:08.160
having no existing rescue plan, yet they asserted that they

72
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:12.800
held quote no legal responsibility to rescue the men. This stance,

73
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:17.680
coupled with reports that Pariah had actively blocked external rescue attempts,

74
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:23.000
sparked public outrage and intensified scrutiny of the company's actions. Finally,

75
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:25.879
a commission of inquiry was launched to try to find

76
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.079
out exactly what happened on that day on the barge,

77
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:31.920
and it is through this commission that we now have

78
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:36.920
access to the testimony of Christopher Boudram, the one surviving

79
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.399
member of the team. I want to play for you

80
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:42.959
Christopher's testimony, but first I have to make a disclaimer

81
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:47.759
of sorts. Sometimes this audio is hard to understand, and

82
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:51.879
sometimes even when you can understand it, Christopher's heavy Caribbean

83
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:55.120
accent makes it hard to understand exactly what he's saying.

84
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:58.839
At other times, I think his statements are quite clear,

85
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:01.399
and so I'm I'm going to try to find a

86
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:05.040
middle ground while we listen to this testimony. I want

87
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:08.680
to explain his words when it seems like he cannot

88
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.560
be understood clearly, but I also don't want to go

89
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:15.480
overboard and explain every single word that he says. So,

90
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:17.319
like I said, I'm going to try to find a

91
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:21.199
middle balance here. Please excuse me if at times I

92
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:24.079
get it wrong, but I'm going to try my best

93
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.519
to explain what needs to be explained without overdoing it.

94
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:31.600
And now let's go to the courtroom and Christopher Budram's testimony.

95
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:33.800
I am to be sworn in.

96
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:36.439
Yes, peace, Yes, I say.

97
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:43.079
Christophologio suddenly solomly sway, so that the evidence that the evidence.

98
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:45.800
I shall give to the corpse, I shall give in

99
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:46.399
this case.

100
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.560
Christopher Boudrum is finished being sworn in, and the Head

101
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:53.480
of Commission, Jerome Lynch assures Christopher telling him that if

102
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:56.079
he needs to take a break, simply speak up and

103
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.879
let them know and they'll be happy to pause momentarily.

104
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.639
Mister Bram, please feel free to sit down. We are

to patreon dot com slash Tapes from the dark Side.

119
00:08:57.159 --> 00:09:02.759
Okay, mister Budram, you are a un water diver. Yeah,

120
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:06.519
and for how long have you been an underwater diver?

121
00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:10.600
Approximately twelve years.

122
00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:14.440
Proximately twelve years. On the twenty fifth of February twenty

123
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:18.919
twenty two, you were employed with LMCS Limited.

124
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.879
Yeah, and you were employed.

125
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:27.679
As a diver. Yeah, on that date. Could you tell

126
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:29.120
us what happened.

127
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:36.559
Rechiever Cooly, because we have requested to.

128
00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:41.840
Reach Avera Cooly and you attended a meeting on that

129
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:45.360
morning I believe.

130
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:49.639
So we had a little Can I try to recall

131
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.480
you had a toolbox meeting that day about the ti ive.

132
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:54.039
Yeah, I was want to reach any badge.

133
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:57.759
I was going to go on the badge on the

134
00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:59.279
job site.

135
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.799
So you you enter the toolbox meeting that day, and

136
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:06.720
that was in respect of a job that had to

137
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:07.120
be done.

138
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:13.120
Yeah, so we we had the toolbox meeting concerning.

139
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.080
Yes, raise a job that we wasn't that in question.

140
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:22.840
So they had a toolbox meeting about the riser in question.

141
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:26.080
From what I gathered, a toolbox meeting as a kind

142
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:29.120
of brief safety meeting before the day's work.

143
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:34.559
The safety officer also talked to us a little safety briefing,

144
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:38.360
you know, the hazards of the job and whatnot.

145
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:43.159
Okay, let specie if I could. And the job was

146
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:44.559
to change.

147
00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:48.399
A riser, so yeah, what you had to do we

148
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:51.879
had to we actually the job that day was actually little.

149
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:56.720
It was in stages before putting in the riser. We

150
00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:00.000
had to on board the blank, right, we had to

151
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:06.799
tako the We had to tako the mechanical plug all right,

152
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:11.919
akba tests and after the CAABA test was cleared or

153
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:14.399
fast or however, I don't want to do it, then

154
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:20.279
we proceed thick ody, plug the inflatable plug and install

155
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:24.960
the as this this is a this is the steps

156
00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:28.159
in hodetulas we had to do it.

157
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:32.480
Let's do a quick review. The job was in stages.

158
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:36.080
So before putting in the riser, they had to unbolt

159
00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:38.840
the blank which is basically a cap or a top

160
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:42.440
that is extremely heavy, maybe one hundred and fifty pounds.

161
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:45.200
Then they have to do a KABA test, and then

162
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:48.279
after the Kabba test was passed, they would take out

163
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:51.080
the inflatable plug and then install the riser.

164
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:55.000
I wonder, can you just tell me. We know that

165
00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:59.600
there was a habitat or a chamber over the top

166
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:04.000
of this rise, yes, and you and your work colleagues

167
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:08.720
were working inside that chamber, all right, and the first

168
00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:11.120
thing you had to do on that day, from what

169
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:13.360
you said, is to remove the blank plug.

170
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:13.559
Is that right?

171
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:14.279
Yeah?

172
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:18.879
Not plug the blank yeah, yes, that's like a cap top, right, Yeah,

173
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:20.679
So that was the first thing you had to do.

174
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:22.080
Was it.

175
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.639
The blank is not like something that they could just

176
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:27.919
lift off. You know, the blanket by itself is maybe

177
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:31.440
about one hundred and fifty pounds. Because they're talking about

178
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:37.320
that titty inch diameter pipe, you know, with half inch

179
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:39.159
stick sheet plate.

180
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:42.440
Whether we used to make the blanket so that by

181
00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:44.440
itself is not easy to a little.

182
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:48.399
Cup chain blocks, chain blocks or something like our annual

183
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:50.039
Greene fait.

184
00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:50.600
To be done.

185
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:54.159
See if you need more than two men, because they

186
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:57.559
actually need two men to guide the the flanks. He's

187
00:12:57.559 --> 00:13:00.759
supposed to know while one man of already chain block

188
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:03.279
and the next man who overviewed that nobody don't put

189
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:05.879
a hand in any pinch areas.

190
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:09.799
To remove the one hundred and fifty pounds blank required

191
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:13.519
hooking up chain blocks with a manual crane with three men.

192
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:17.120
One man would guide the flange down, one man would

193
00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:20.039
operate the chain block, and one man would make sure

194
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:22.320
that no one had their hands in the pinch area.

195
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:24.200
This is not the first time we do this job.

196
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:25.480
We never in contact.

197
00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:29.679
No hazards on this job as sorry, no, you never

198
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:34.840
get into any complications because all I'll be competent and

199
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.759
know what we're doing. Forget about what Let me think

200
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:42.639
about the type of equipment or the the the suits.

201
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:44.600
I've been doing this for years, all.

202
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:48.480
Right, mister Maart is going to pick up the secrets

203
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:50.559
of events. Yeah, it's quite important that we have the

204
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:51.639
secrets of events.

205
00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:55.559
So after removing the blank what is the next thing

206
00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:57.159
that we all did?

207
00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:03.440
After remove any blanc, we we had to remove the

208
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:04.440
mechanical plug.

209
00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:06.440
We have to use a span a.

210
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:10.200
No normal pipe wrench or crescento spankle wok because you

211
00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:13.960
can't find space inside the pipe pipe.

212
00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:17.799
Next they remove the mechanical plug with a spanner. A

213
00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:21.279
spanner is essentially a kind of specialized pipe ranch.

214
00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:25.720
So we meet a a tool with a socket extension

215
00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:29.000
on it and a cross piece on top of something

216
00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:35.159
resemble a capital T. Sluck a the the bulls. The

217
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:38.399
mechanical plug does work that when you tightened the bulls

218
00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:45.960
in series around its expand and how the inside of

219
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:49.639
the the diameteric pipe and.

220
00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:51.159
Cause a seal.

221
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:55.240
Right, but in order to remove it, you you.

222
00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:57.039
Have to slacking out all those bulls.

223
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.399
Lock on it, okay, right, take it out, jack it

224
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:06.519
up with the chain block, bring it outside right after

225
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:11.039
taking that out. We we didn't drop it three sea bed.

226
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:14.600
We went and shackle it up on the outside of

227
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:20.279
the the habitat. So you came back and what happened

228
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:21.519
after going out.

229
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:25.120
They would loosen all the bolts on the plug and

230
00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:27.720
then jack it up with the chain block, and then

231
00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:30.679
they shackled it on the outside of the habitat. The

232
00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:34.759
habitat is essentially the small enclosure they're in to access

233
00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:37.519
the entrance to the pipe, and then they would have

234
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:42.080
one last task before launch, the Kaba test dexter.

235
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:47.639
If they finished test was done at the same time

236
00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:50.960
I saw the booth. MC has had some discussions on

237
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:55.759
whether or not they should go for it. However, they said,

238
00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:58.399
tell us take lunch. We took lunch from them.

239
00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:05.039
Okay, we'll be right back after a quick commercial break.

240
00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:07.679
Don't go anywhere.

241
00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:17.120
Before we dive into the heart of this story. There's

242
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:21.080
a term that we should probably define. We've already mentioned

243
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:24.559
it a couple of times. And to understand exactly what

244
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:27.840
happened to Christopher and his friends when they remove the

245
00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:31.399
inflatable plug in the pipeline, we need some kind of

246
00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:37.360
working knowledge of delta P. Delta P which is denoted

247
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:40.000
with a triangle symbol in front of a capital. P

248
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:44.799
stands for differential pressure, which is the difference in pressure

249
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.320
between two points in a system and is commonly used

250
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:52.120
to measure pressure drops across components like filters or pipes.

251
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:57.480
Differential pressure is typically measured using pressure sensors or transducers

252
00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:01.080
that are connected to two points of interest within the system.

253
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:04.960
This can be expressed in units of pressure such as pascals,

254
00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:08.640
pounds per square inch, or bar, and these sensors can

255
00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:12.799
be analog or digital and may use various types of technology.

256
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:15.079
But the thing to note is that in the Paria

257
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:19.599
tragedy there were no delta P pressure sensors that we

258
00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:24.279
know of. Monitoring and controlling differential pressure is crucial in

259
00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:29.720
industrial and engineering applications because by understanding pressure drop across

260
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:35.400
various components, engineers can optimize system design and also made safety.

261
00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:39.240
I found this neat little safety video on delta P

262
00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:43.559
on YouTube that I think explains the concepts Sincly.

263
00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:49.640
Delta P stands for differential pressure. Our discussion refers to

264
00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:53.559
situations where the pressures between two bodies of water are

265
00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:57.680
dramatically different. In a situation like this, the bodies of

266
00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:03.160
water continuously seek to equal themselves. In this example, the

267
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:06.240
body of water on the right wants to rush to

268
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:08.720
the body of water on the left by means of

269
00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:12.400
the pipe between them. The pressure exerted on the valve

270
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:15.920
stopping this water transfer can be enormous, depending on the

271
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:18.599
difference in the depths of the water and the diameter

272
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:22.319
of the pipe. If the valve was suddenly opened and

273
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:25.480
your arm was near, it would be sucked into the

274
00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:29.160
hole instantly. Trying to remove your arm would be like

275
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:32.319
trying to lift a car completely off the ground with

276
00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:36.400
one hand. You could only remove your arm if the

277
00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:39.720
pressures between the two bodies became nearly equalized.

278
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:43.200
Let's now return to the courtroom with this newly found

279
00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:47.599
knowledge to Christopher Budram's testimony will pick up right after

280
00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:49.279
the crew got back from lunch.

281
00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:51.480
I want you to take a time and tell us

282
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:54.480
as far as you remember when you came up from

283
00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:56.480
lunch what happened.

284
00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:03.440
Went in gabitat as we went in, we had then

285
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:11.680
deflat the inflatable plug. All right, that fast spaner because

286
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:14.000
apparently the believer was.

287
00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:15.319
Jammed or something like that.

288
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:19.920
That the gun just release the the air.

289
00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:24.240
So they asked for a spanner because apparently the lever

290
00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:27.480
was jammed and they couldn't just release the air. This

291
00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:30.519
is when they were deflating the inflatable plug.

292
00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:35.400
At the same time, Casmi Jr. Came in and we

293
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:38.720
tell him we needed a spanner. He went out collect

294
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:42.759
the spaner, bring it back in, gave me this spaner

295
00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:45.960
and as he came back in and I, after I

296
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:48.960
do that, and I turned around. After I turn around,

297
00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:56.599
I saw what any in the in the chamber satirized,

298
00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:59.279
and I say, like, going on, you like this thing

299
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:05.039
falling up there? And I jump and I jump. Yeah,

300
00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:10.559
I feel like in seta sinking in water. I feel

301
00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:11.559
like I was fluting.

302
00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:18.000
This is the moment we've been anticipating. After loosening the

303
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.079
inflatable plug with the spanner, the delta pe event occurs

304
00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:26.440
in a flash. Christopher remembers water rushing in jumping, and

305
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:29.480
then the sensation of falling as he and his four

306
00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:33.799
diving friends were violently sucked down into a cold, black

307
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:38.480
oily pipe. And this exact moment of the delta pe

308
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:42.319
event occurring was caught on camera on the GoPro which

309
00:20:42.359 --> 00:21:17.319
I will now play.

310
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:07.440
Mm hmm and like it had no gravity, you know,

311
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:11.759
I feel like and then after but then I second

312
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:17.759
it was like Tony, everything just spinning and beating it

313
00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:25.160
up and tappened so fast it can't react. The onlyest

314
00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:28.599
thing I remember able to do was cover my head

315
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:31.240
like any fatal position.

316
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:33.640
After that, all I remember.

317
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:37.440
I didn't even remember actually getting poor lean pipe. I

318
00:21:37.519 --> 00:22:10.799
just remember going literally pipe at unbelievable speed. M I

319
00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:14.279
feel like if I even I can't now one twenty

320
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:14.559
on the.

321
00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:17.880
Iway, I feel like, if you're.

322
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:19.400
Going to that kind of speed every time I try.

323
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:22.279
After I realize that any pipe and I go into

324
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:27.880
the pipe every time I try to just stop myself jam.

325
00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:30.000
An the walls that the pipe out.

326
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:33.000
I feel my hands burning, toot the wet so while

327
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:35.920
going down here, I feel a little debris hitting here

328
00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:40.559
and you kind of stop and that kind of slow

329
00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:44.720
down and I was able to stop myself at this time,

330
00:22:46.839 --> 00:22:50.880
I can't hold my breath no longer. My truth when

331
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:54.799
in their birth and will en their birth for too long.

332
00:22:54.839 --> 00:22:59.359
After a while, your body along the fight. They try

333
00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:03.559
the guy and when you forced and yeah, we exclose

334
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:14.480
as your noise. Actually that's why I was seeing M

335
00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:19.519
your buddy's suffering the A.

336
00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:23.640
That last part was a little hard to understand, so

337
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:25.599
I want to try to clear it up. He said,

338
00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:28.880
when you're holding your breath for too long. After a while,

339
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:32.119
your body fights to try to gasp of breath. And

340
00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:35.200
when you're forcing and your airway is closing, you hear

341
00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:38.759
a noise. That is what I was hearing. Your body

342
00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:40.240
is suffering to pull air.

343
00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:06.960
We'll be right back after a quick break. If you

344
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:09.559
want to skip the ads and support the show, go

345
00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:14.119
to patreon dot com slash tapes from the Dark Side.

346
00:24:20.279 --> 00:24:23.599
And at that point, I tell myself I was gonna dead.

347
00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:28.839
I tell my I see God, I come in, MA.

348
00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:32.039
Look over me.

349
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:37.119
I was expecting to be dead there and all of

350
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:41.000
a sudden, I just out you water and get up bread.

351
00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:47.720
Wasn't a set that panic realizing that, all right, Danny Pipe,

352
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:52.440
I just known aally dead. I'm not sure if you're alive.

353
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.039
I ain't sure where is the fine hell? I fine heaven

354
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:08.680
a pipe? And then I would I believe it was

355
00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:12.400
casually calling out to me as the first person I

356
00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:16.680
are calling, and I assumed he was outside the pipe

357
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:20.319
and calling me, I think, and that I falled long the.

358
00:25:20.359 --> 00:25:22.680
Pipe, Yeah, but who's that? But yeah, well who's that?

359
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:24.599
By incidy pipe, inciey pipe?

360
00:25:24.599 --> 00:25:37.720
By yeah bye yeah, by insidey pipe too.

361
00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:52.559
Yeah. I can't come up.

362
00:25:54.039 --> 00:25:56.559
After going to Survival Moody and now I still living

363
00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:01.160
because I ain't somebody talking unless he did too. I

364
00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:03.599
had to find out, and I start going to the

365
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:07.359
voice close and close. I still didn't actually make out

366
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:11.119
who it was until I reach on him. And I

367
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:13.400
reach on him, I touched him on foot, touch him

368
00:26:13.400 --> 00:26:18.480
because I was going backwards, because I guess sockting the pipe.

369
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:19.559
And in my.

370
00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:24.319
Head I thought that I guess opting head first because

371
00:26:24.359 --> 00:26:26.160
I tried jumping out foot first.

372
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:30.079
So the pipe up here, right.

373
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:31.599
And if I jump here and I end up an

374
00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:34.119
the pipe, so I thought I guess opting head first.

375
00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:38.640
So Christopher thought he had been sucked in head first

376
00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:41.200
because he thought he jumped in the air and that

377
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:43.480
the suction had grabbed him by the head.

378
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:47.960
I tell myself that if I get socked in head first,

379
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:51.960
well foot first is the way out, you know. And

380
00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:57.240
cousin Ali and whoever whoever else was that there was

381
00:26:57.279 --> 00:26:59.599
close at the riser and it was like right here

382
00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:02.519
right because I how it's sunging, you know.

383
00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:06.319
So when I reached a cross now.

384
00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:11.480
And i'll something so I'll pull it back. So because

385
00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:15.759
I wasn asked it that right? I said, who's that?

386
00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:16.400
What? He said?

387
00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:16.720
What me?

388
00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:17.000
By?

389
00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:17.160
Me?

390
00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:20.839
By said me you were? He said, because said because

391
00:27:20.920 --> 00:27:21.359
you all right?

392
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:36.720
Y yeah, m h yeah, right, all.

393
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:38.400
Right, you're right. I mean.

394
00:27:43.079 --> 00:27:43.400
You know what.

395
00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:54.400
You said? Answer, so who is that what you said?

396
00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:54.680
Me?

397
00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:59.720
By? Christ but said you said you all right? By? No?

398
00:27:59.799 --> 00:28:06.160
Why my foot break? But I I feel my footbrik

399
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:07.640
to what we gotta go? That is.

400
00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:11.240
That is Chris?

401
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:14.680
Hears a voice saying it's Yusef, and Chris asks, are

402
00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:18.160
you all right boy? Yusuf says, no way, brother, my

403
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:21.680
foot broke, and Chris says, all right, brother boy, I

404
00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:24.920
feel my hand in foot break too. But we're gonna

405
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:28.160
come together and get out of this. It was difficult

406
00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:30.920
to find an exact match, but I believe this part

407
00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:34.319
of the conversation happens roughly at this part of the

408
00:28:34.359 --> 00:28:53.640
go pro footage.

409
00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:05.279
Yeah, I don't know, I.

410
00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:17.880
Yeah, boiling any gron, I said who is that?

411
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:18.119
Now?

412
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:22.200
Who is that? Bost I said, who is that?

413
00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:29.440
He said, I said, phy phyzy see yeah, yeah, I say,

414
00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:31.920
all right, say yeah, is.

415
00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:35.720
Anything wrong with you? Say no, So what you're boiling for?

416
00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:37.279
I do know?

417
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:41.359
I said, all right, what's movie to get with? That

418
00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:44.440
is what is good you're gonna come with? That is

419
00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:46.640
let me pray.

420
00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:51.279
Keep in mind that Phizy is file Curban. Chris refers

421
00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:54.480
to him as both Phizy and Fiz throughout, and then

422
00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:57.440
Chris says, God is good. We're gonna come out of this.

423
00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:00.279
And then the men do perhaps the only thing they

424
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:13.799
can do at the moment, and that is pray.

425
00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:22.599
Pray O cosm, O cosm.

426
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:24.279
We could come out A yea, what we could do?

427
00:30:24.319 --> 00:30:26.160
What I think? What we could do? What we could do?

428
00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:29.119
Think Chasm, how can we get out of here? What

429
00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:29.799
can we do?

430
00:30:31.039 --> 00:30:32.559
We said that.

431
00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:37.279
Chasm replies We're gonna die, and Chris says, no, don't

432
00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:37.759
say that.

433
00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:44.279
No going dead any we come, No going any We're

434
00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:49.759
coming out. So yeah, we went on. We can't we

435
00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:53.519
can't stand with. We gotta go and come back. We

436
00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:54.759
could move, let me move.

437
00:30:55.640 --> 00:30:58.160
We can't stay and wait for help. We have to

438
00:30:58.240 --> 00:31:01.480
go and come back. Who Ever can move, will move.

439
00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:07.480
Surf ice you push yusef yusef you push cas and.

440
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:08.039
I go pull.

441
00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:13.440
No before that, I say, I think we have to

442
00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:16.680
go backward. So because I think I come in foot first,

443
00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:20.240
cousin said, no, we come in head first. No, we

444
00:31:20.319 --> 00:31:22.000
come in foot I think we come in head first.

445
00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:25.400
Cousin said, no, we come in foot first. I said, no,

446
00:31:25.559 --> 00:31:27.559
we can't come in foot first. You say yes, yousef

447
00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:29.640
say yes. By Chris By, are you sure? Are you sure?

448
00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:33.640
Are you sure we come in foot first? Chris He

449
00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:35.799
said yeah. I said, well, all right, well we're done

450
00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:38.839
in this. I can't fight all if we added that,

451
00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:39.559
we added it.

452
00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:42.359
Let you go a a good one.

453
00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:47.319
Let's see, there's a bit of a prolonged disagreement about

454
00:31:47.319 --> 00:31:50.599
which way the men came in. Chris is convinced that

455
00:31:50.640 --> 00:31:53.200
they all came in headfirst, which would mean to get

456
00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:55.720
out they would have to go foot first. But the

457
00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:58.559
other men are convinced that it's the opposite, and they

458
00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:02.559
outnumber Chris, and so Chris puts his faith in trust

459
00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:06.759
and his men and decides he will follow them headfirst out.

460
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:10.119
Chris knows full well that if his men are wrong,

461
00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:13.799
then they're headed to certain death, for there is only

462
00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:18.559
one exit from this pipeline. There's a break in the

463
00:32:18.640 --> 00:32:21.480
go pro footage here and I think we lost quite

464
00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:24.039
a bit of tape. And I think this is probably

465
00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:27.119
where they're talking about the head first versus foot first thing.

466
00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:31.119
Maybe the GoPro got turned off or the audio was corrupted.

467
00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:32.880
Here's where the brake happens.

468
00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:42.920
Oh, I know what we.

469
00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:47.720
What?

470
00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:50.599
You?

471
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:50.799
What?

472
00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:57.000
You right now?

473
00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:05.279
And them then we are dead inside. It was like

474
00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:12.440
an unbelievable night. Man, your eyes burning every time I

475
00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:16.319
tried to open your eyes at burning a pitch blocker,

476
00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:23.200
can't see nothing, your truth booning, your ears, ringing your body.

477
00:33:23.720 --> 00:33:30.319
So well, do you want to rise or do you

478
00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:32.880
happy to sit for a moment? What would what would

479
00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:33.440
you like to do?

480
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:36.920
I thought about that minute.

481
00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:40.920
Of course you can please take him out from moment,

482
00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:41.680
please somebody.

483
00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:47.200
And Chris starts to get a little choked up at

484
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:50.680
this point in the courtroom testimony. He asks for a break,

485
00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:53.880
and actually when they come back is when Chris has

486
00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:57.440
a full on breakdown. But he does push through it,

487
00:33:57.680 --> 00:34:01.720
and we'll get into that footage right after this quick break.

488
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:14.920
Don't go anywhere, don't feel inhibited in asking again if

489
00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:17.199
you need another break? All right, at any point, right,

490
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:20.880
don't don't We don't mind sitting taking a few minutes, alright,

491
00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:23.920
say if you need it, you ask, all right, take it,

492
00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:24.480
take a time.

493
00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:29.440
I would amend that at least I gotta be here

494
00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:34.119
and I would have feel living everyone.

495
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:37.320
Chris says, I owe the man at least to be

496
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:41.159
here and do this for them.

497
00:34:41.239 --> 00:34:48.679
Oh oh, apologize.

498
00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:52.840
There's no need for an apology, absolutely none at all.

499
00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:58.639
Do you think you need a little more times? Let

500
00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:01.440
me just go over with that, of course. Well, then

501
00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:08.679
take a moment, go to there.

502
00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:16.400
Okay, mister go drown.

503
00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:20.079
What I will do I will let you continue from

504
00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:22.880
what you were saying, but then with leave of the commission,

505
00:35:23.480 --> 00:35:26.960
I would show you your statements and ask you whether

506
00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:29.840
what you said and those contents of the statements are

507
00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:34.039
true and correct. Okay mm hmm okay. So the last

508
00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:37.199
thing you told us just before the break, take your time.

509
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:41.039
You said that there was your phone, not human chain,

510
00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:48.760
and and cousin was ill. Could you tell us what

511
00:35:48.840 --> 00:35:55.639
happened after that? As far as you can recall.

512
00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:58.559
Pull it on, jag and shouty, let's pull it on jargon.

513
00:35:58.599 --> 00:36:02.000
Shud be a bucket.

514
00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:06.719
Pulling and dragging through the air pocket. Essentially, the men

515
00:36:06.840 --> 00:36:09.719
have formed a human chain. At this point, those who

516
00:36:09.800 --> 00:36:12.679
can push are pushing, and those who can pull are

517
00:36:12.719 --> 00:36:14.639
pulling those with broken bones.

518
00:36:14.880 --> 00:36:18.960
Can I ask you at this stage was was there

519
00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:22.360
any water or fluid in the pipe at all? Or

520
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:25.039
were you in a dry area of the pipe.

521
00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:28.400
Where I where I ended up?

522
00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:29.920
No?

523
00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:32.320
No, I noticed that I was close. I realized that

524
00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:33.000
than they.

525
00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:37.239
Were, right I was. So you were at the front effectively,

526
00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:39.360
So you must have been the last person to be

527
00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:43.880
sucked into the pipe, correct, right, while.

528
00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:49.639
I was there, there were some water maybe, like I will.

529
00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:55.000
Eat the ten inches right, and we're talking about a

530
00:36:55.039 --> 00:36:58.159
thirty each pipe. We have a hoopiet somewhere, so it's

531
00:36:58.400 --> 00:36:59.679
not a great big amount of space.

532
00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:00.599
We have a hoop.

533
00:37:02.039 --> 00:37:08.000
Yes, that that that that is about an inch smaller

534
00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:11.280
on either side for the sort of pipe that you

535
00:37:11.320 --> 00:37:12.920
were in. That's the so that we can get a

536
00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:16.199
visual that's the diameter approximately of the pipe that you

537
00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:19.440
were in. All right, so we can now picture the situation.

538
00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:22.079
If you were to reach out your arms and try

539
00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:25.559
to form a hoop that is roughly the size of

540
00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:28.679
a thirty inch pipe. Of course, it depends on how

541
00:37:28.719 --> 00:37:32.880
big your arms are. But imagine a medium to large

542
00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:34.039
sized hula hoop.

543
00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:38.360
You're down there. It's completely dark, so you can't see anything,

544
00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:41.159
but you can hear, all right, then you can touch.

545
00:37:42.039 --> 00:37:45.119
There's about did you say eight inches or so of water,

546
00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:47.239
something like fluid.

547
00:37:47.199 --> 00:37:48.039
The six inches?

548
00:37:48.199 --> 00:37:53.960
Yeah, well liquid, yes, yeah, gonna exactly if it.

549
00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:57.199
Was you're oil or.

550
00:37:57.199 --> 00:38:03.480
But it wasn't mixed, right, I understand what there's no.

551
00:38:02.199 --> 00:38:05.480
Right, and and the walls of the inside of the

552
00:38:05.480 --> 00:38:07.480
pipe with a slippery I mean, how did it.

553
00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:10.880
Feel they were tickling with oil?

554
00:38:11.199 --> 00:38:11.360
Right?

555
00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:12.960
Right?

556
00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:16.599
Quite old pipes, so obviously they wouldn't build up of

557
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:19.599
that material on the inside. So was it slippery as

558
00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:21.559
you were trying to crawl along it?

559
00:38:25.320 --> 00:38:26.400
Every time? A dragon?

560
00:38:26.480 --> 00:38:30.480
If you don't like, yes, did you have any idea

561
00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:34.800
about how far away you were from the vertical pipe?

562
00:38:35.880 --> 00:38:37.119
Any sense of that at all?

563
00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:42.039
No? I could tell it wasn't. I don't think it

564
00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:47.320
was shortly No, all right, but I feel like inside.

565
00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:49.960
Anyway you were telling you were telling, mister mah raj Anda,

566
00:38:50.360 --> 00:38:52.440
what were you were doing? And push, pushing and pulling

567
00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:55.400
and making away along the pipe?

568
00:38:55.159 --> 00:38:55.280
Right?

569
00:38:55.679 --> 00:38:57.800
Did you encounter any more fluid.

570
00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:02.159
While going back to well, it was was like about

571
00:39:02.159 --> 00:39:04.159
sixty eight and just when I reached back to them,

572
00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:06.079
the pipe was totally dry.

573
00:39:06.639 --> 00:39:11.199
Right, Are there any gun gunny inside?

574
00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:11.079
Right?

575
00:39:12.800 --> 00:39:14.840
All right? Soon, so you'd.

576
00:39:14.639 --> 00:39:19.280
Gone backwards first of all, shuffling backwards with your feet first. Yes,

577
00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:22.000
and now you've made your chain. You've told us you're

578
00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:23.679
now making your way forward again.

579
00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:24.519
A right, right.

580
00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:26.960
They persuaded you that that was the right way to go,

581
00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:30.880
and then and so off you did. Off you went.

582
00:39:31.079 --> 00:39:33.320
Now as you're going forward, you start going back into

583
00:39:33.360 --> 00:39:36.000
the fluid, and then then tell us take it from

584
00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:38.159
there and tell mister Maharaj will help you.

585
00:39:38.239 --> 00:39:43.679
Long it wasn't like as just back in the f

586
00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:45.880
I'd like the short version of it, you know. In

587
00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:51.639
between ada I stopped and brigsns right, I was prettying

588
00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:55.039
with you guys. Asked them to pray too, you know,

589
00:39:56.880 --> 00:40:04.199
usef prey phizy say, because tells the prey as it?

590
00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:07.199
Boy, my wife, is that Catholic assation you?

591
00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:12.039
Unfortunately, the video of the courtroom footage breaks up again,

592
00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:16.480
and when it resumes, we're talking about now one of

593
00:40:16.559 --> 00:40:20.000
the oxygen tanks that they found and how they begin

594
00:40:20.159 --> 00:40:23.400
to share it around, each taking small SIPs of air

595
00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:23.840
from it.

596
00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:26.679
After I finally done at the lem, I say, yo,

597
00:40:27.119 --> 00:40:33.599
watchmen reading this air for long, get me delirious and

598
00:40:33.960 --> 00:40:36.280
get me nofs and we start thinking, all kind of

599
00:40:36.320 --> 00:40:40.800
ship we need to start taking in the val SIPs

600
00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:44.480
our air from the town. They keep clear oxygen in

601
00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:47.159
your sister, we can't be it right to because we

602
00:40:47.199 --> 00:40:49.280
will need it so because just pull it and reread it.

603
00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:52.519
So all lem I say, I would give body beat

604
00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:56.639
the chasm, if you know. And again, after pulling unpushing

605
00:40:56.719 --> 00:40:58.000
on me exhausted, we take two.

606
00:40:58.039 --> 00:41:02.800
You pull fresh air right there any tank.

607
00:41:04.159 --> 00:41:07.840
Not much and we shared so we don't know how

608
00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:09.880
longer we would need these thanks for you know, we

609
00:41:10.039 --> 00:41:13.599
don't even know if that's more inside got this stage.

610
00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:18.320
It was in my mindset, not knowing what's going on outside.

611
00:41:18.320 --> 00:41:20.800
What caused this incident. I'm not sure if it was

612
00:41:20.840 --> 00:41:24.639
the explosion. I'm not sure if the whole both on fire.

613
00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:30.840
We don't know, you know, And I understanding I'm thinking

614
00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:34.480
all of that, trying to take calm, to keep them

615
00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:37.519
for us calm was one of the hardest thing I

616
00:41:37.599 --> 00:41:38.519
had to do in this life.

617
00:41:40.960 --> 00:41:45.159
And I was using one on because this sun was pinned.

618
00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:50.000
The son was pinned behind my back, and every time

619
00:41:50.039 --> 00:41:53.400
I tried bringing it forward, it was an excuseating pains

620
00:41:53.519 --> 00:41:54.800
with a I.

621
00:41:54.840 --> 00:42:01.400
Thought it was broken, so it was using one leg,

622
00:42:01.639 --> 00:42:08.840
my ankle. It was damage. I thought that was broken

623
00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:10.079
to I do know.

624
00:42:14.239 --> 00:42:18.280
The men are suffering from various broken bones, broken arms,

625
00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:23.119
broken ankles, and yet they keep trudging. This is the

626
00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:27.239
last piece of GoPro audio we have. I want to

627
00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:29.880
play it for you, and then from here on out

628
00:42:30.039 --> 00:42:32.719
we'll rely on the courtroom testimony alone.

629
00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:51.039
God right, God, everything alright? And I haven't bread.

630
00:42:54.519 --> 00:42:54.880
All right?

631
00:42:56.920 --> 00:43:05.480
Bye? Anything, I'm you, Hi, God, anything, I'm here, you

632
00:43:05.639 --> 00:43:06.639
have anything.

633
00:43:12.000 --> 00:43:14.239
Him.

634
00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:27.880
We'll be right back after a quick break. If you

635
00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:30.440
want to skip the ads and support the show, go

636
00:43:30.599 --> 00:43:35.079
to patreon dot com slash tapes from the dark Side.

637
00:43:42.760 --> 00:43:46.760
I found the goopool audio earlier.

638
00:43:47.159 --> 00:43:50.239
Yes, I found out, and I said, well, by the

639
00:43:50.320 --> 00:43:51.280
good pooh, yeah right.

640
00:43:51.239 --> 00:43:54.480
Become the goopo. When I was quit and rs, I

641
00:43:54.599 --> 00:43:58.960
was thinking or leaving our message from my family because

642
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:04.440
already I already started to realize what.

643
00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:08.360
Was the old Coomaris With that group in my hand,

644
00:44:08.679 --> 00:44:11.519
something just on the Boido proclaimed that in your life,

645
00:44:12.920 --> 00:44:16.760
trust in Jesus and just the way I do a.

646
00:44:18.280 --> 00:44:19.239
Prayer again.

647
00:44:21.199 --> 00:44:25.400
Pro At this point, Christopher finds the go pro and

648
00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:29.679
he contemplates leaving a message for his family, but decides

649
00:44:29.800 --> 00:44:32.360
not to quote proclaim death.

650
00:44:33.079 --> 00:44:36.679
If you come across any more fluid, Yeah, we are,

651
00:44:38.199 --> 00:44:39.840
and we bunce up, we bounce up water.

652
00:44:41.000 --> 00:44:43.119
I realized the water that's that gain high and higher.

653
00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:48.280
So I take a measurement from top of my nose

654
00:44:48.320 --> 00:44:54.480
to the top of the pipe, and I had six inches.

655
00:44:54.559 --> 00:44:57.920
I said, take a measurement from the top party water

656
00:44:59.360 --> 00:45:00.360
the the top party pipe.

657
00:45:02.039 --> 00:45:07.440
He had to eat all right, say up on, say

658
00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:10.199
by what I get in higher and high?

659
00:45:11.400 --> 00:45:16.320
I went forward maybe so about maybe fifteen feet and

660
00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:19.000
as I went in more into the work that the

661
00:45:19.039 --> 00:45:21.760
whole pipe was too thrill.

662
00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:25.119
Yeah, so did you take one of the tanks and

663
00:45:25.159 --> 00:45:25.960
the regulator with you?

664
00:45:26.440 --> 00:45:29.960
Yeah? I went in, awho fifteen feet inwards?

665
00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:34.119
And I realized that I can't jog them with the

666
00:45:34.159 --> 00:45:41.519
piercing move in fifteen feet over. So I understand I

667
00:45:41.599 --> 00:45:46.719
had to go and get up and come back for them.

668
00:45:47.880 --> 00:45:54.760
So I come back, prepare my mind mentally mentally because

669
00:45:55.719 --> 00:45:58.920
at this stage, I'm still not sure if you go

670
00:45:58.960 --> 00:46:03.320
in any correct direction, right because everything inside my whoop,

671
00:46:03.360 --> 00:46:04.280
and I rescue.

672
00:46:05.639 --> 00:46:10.480
Everything inside of you open. You know, nobody was making

673
00:46:10.559 --> 00:46:14.960
out to rescue me. You know what I mean?

674
00:46:18.039 --> 00:46:25.079
Right? I understand that I know so how far that

675
00:46:25.159 --> 00:46:29.159
is what I and I don't tell myself. I'm in

676
00:46:29.280 --> 00:46:33.360
a comeback from this soo, but I had to know

677
00:46:33.880 --> 00:46:39.440
to try because it is just as good as dying.

678
00:46:40.360 --> 00:46:42.400
I don't know, it makes sense that you're still on place.

679
00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:42.559
On it.

680
00:46:48.960 --> 00:46:52.880
The boot drum. You told us that you went back

681
00:46:53.320 --> 00:46:56.840
to where the others were and he was steeling yourself

682
00:46:56.920 --> 00:47:01.400
to tell them what you were going to do. Did

683
00:47:01.440 --> 00:47:01.800
you do that?

684
00:47:02.800 --> 00:47:07.880
So I've come back and after preparing myself mentally or

685
00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:13.119
what I had to do, I to Lemna, Yo, we

686
00:47:13.239 --> 00:47:16.760
can't go no more food like this. I make them

687
00:47:16.840 --> 00:47:22.559
under stannny situation. I told Lemna I'd be there. Tell

688
00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:25.320
them fellows go back a little bit, but it will

689
00:47:25.320 --> 00:47:29.760
be coughed because we're earned so much out water. Everybody

690
00:47:29.840 --> 00:47:32.239
had to keep the nose jammed.

691
00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:35.840
Ony body pie, So you were you were upside down,

692
00:47:37.159 --> 00:47:39.760
I say, on your back rather yes, So you're all

693
00:47:39.800 --> 00:47:43.559
on your back at the stage, and so you're saying

694
00:47:43.599 --> 00:47:45.840
to them, go back to where there's more air with

695
00:47:46.079 --> 00:47:48.920
a larger air pocket, where it was dry actually where

696
00:47:48.960 --> 00:47:53.039
they were, and you were going to go forwards and

697
00:47:53.239 --> 00:47:55.480
see it and get help, all right, So you've taken

698
00:47:55.599 --> 00:47:58.679
all of the texts. What about cousin Ali, what happened

699
00:47:58.719 --> 00:47:59.000
with him?

700
00:48:01.280 --> 00:48:08.039
Father Maliakma said, chris I said, I had to go

701
00:48:08.239 --> 00:48:10.400
very bab He said, you not to go.

702
00:48:12.599 --> 00:48:19.239
Still with him and leaving, are just going to get help?

703
00:48:19.280 --> 00:48:22.400
And I'm coming back by by Albert, coming back for

704
00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:25.840
He said, so good, Chrysli said, but I'm not leaving

705
00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:28.599
over no, And I say something of that, but I

706
00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:31.400
know I don't just think coming back for.

707
00:48:33.280 --> 00:48:37.840
Christopher mentally and emotionally prepares to begin the journey of

708
00:48:37.960 --> 00:48:41.760
his life. The lives of himself and his four friends

709
00:48:41.920 --> 00:48:45.440
hang in the balance. If he reaches safety, he might

710
00:48:45.519 --> 00:48:48.119
be able to gather help and come back to save them,

711
00:48:48.880 --> 00:48:52.239
but if he fails, his life and his friend's lives

712
00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:52.840
are doomed.

713
00:48:54.760 --> 00:48:58.440
I spin it round and come on my belly right

714
00:48:59.239 --> 00:49:03.880
and the tank and front of pushing the tank with

715
00:49:04.360 --> 00:49:06.320
the regulator in your mouth, right.

716
00:49:09.159 --> 00:49:11.360
And as I entered our water, because I know I

717
00:49:11.440 --> 00:49:14.920
do much care, I have a limited amount. I don't

718
00:49:14.920 --> 00:49:18.159
know how far ago. As I entered that must up

719
00:49:18.199 --> 00:49:21.199
every piece of strength, everything in method.

720
00:49:21.320 --> 00:49:25.119
Just push, just move.

721
00:49:25.039 --> 00:49:29.039
As fast as I could move. Brianna asked, go take him.

722
00:49:28.920 --> 00:49:30.960
Any strength, and I just go on and started to

723
00:49:31.119 --> 00:49:35.280
just run to the water. I started to move to

724
00:49:35.400 --> 00:49:41.840
the water while going through the tank. That are good

725
00:49:41.960 --> 00:49:44.280
dry Yet there's no even if you don't have our gage,

726
00:49:44.320 --> 00:49:46.800
I experienced I, but there's no money. Regulator. Start to

727
00:49:46.840 --> 00:49:51.880
get hard on your regulator doesn't make a little singing noise.

728
00:49:51.960 --> 00:49:53.920
Minds well, I didn't even know if that was mine.

729
00:49:53.960 --> 00:49:56.719
The tank that I wasn't making any noise, but I

730
00:49:56.840 --> 00:50:02.000
know thank was going to again. So when I realized that,

731
00:50:02.719 --> 00:50:06.639
I could only hope are reaching that air bucket or

732
00:50:06.880 --> 00:50:09.880
I start feeling if I could feel a tank or

733
00:50:09.920 --> 00:50:12.119
anything like that too, So I pushing our feeling. I

734
00:50:12.239 --> 00:50:13.159
pushing our feeling.

735
00:50:14.320 --> 00:50:20.840
At this stage, I forcing that from I know it'll

736
00:50:20.880 --> 00:50:21.760
do recreational life.

737
00:50:21.760 --> 00:50:24.559
And say, no, what I mean by forcing If you

738
00:50:24.599 --> 00:50:26.880
ever do that, it's like it's sucking all that about.

739
00:50:26.599 --> 00:50:28.440
It, like you're ringing it dry. I feel like that

740
00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:32.559
forcing to get some air.

741
00:50:33.559 --> 00:50:36.960
Christopher's tank is about to go dry, and he's literally

742
00:50:37.199 --> 00:50:39.920
sucking the last a little bit of air out of

743
00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:42.519
the tank, forcing it into his diaphragm.

744
00:50:43.079 --> 00:50:45.519
My tank hit the next tank. I don't.

745
00:50:46.880 --> 00:50:48.239
Like with this tank, and I run up and I

746
00:50:48.360 --> 00:50:50.440
scramble out one and I feel, I feel, I feel

747
00:50:50.480 --> 00:50:53.559
fait when I feel like I getty the mode piece.

748
00:50:53.599 --> 00:50:57.400
It had no when I get it. The second stage

749
00:50:57.440 --> 00:50:58.480
is that normal piece on it?

750
00:50:59.280 --> 00:50:59.440
Right?

751
00:51:00.400 --> 00:51:03.280
So I pushed the whole thing remoted was like eating oil,

752
00:51:03.519 --> 00:51:06.639
the oil inside, and I pulled it.

753
00:51:07.400 --> 00:51:10.320
I guess, thank you Lord.

754
00:51:11.280 --> 00:51:13.199
And then the tank that is in front of him

755
00:51:13.360 --> 00:51:17.320
hits another tank. Chris hears a tong sound and he

756
00:51:17.440 --> 00:51:21.079
scrambles to get the new tank. There's no second stage

757
00:51:21.159 --> 00:51:25.519
on the mouthpiece, and Christophers starts eating pure oil as

758
00:51:25.559 --> 00:51:27.960
he desperately tries to gasp another breath.

759
00:51:28.519 --> 00:51:29.960
And I just started to go again.

760
00:51:31.719 --> 00:51:33.719
Maybe I'll posed it for a minute. What did you

761
00:51:33.800 --> 00:51:36.800
do with the empty tank? Did that hoss by you?

762
00:51:37.360 --> 00:51:37.559
Yeah?

763
00:51:37.760 --> 00:51:40.039
Yeah, I left the There was enough room for it

764
00:51:40.119 --> 00:51:42.280
to pass by, so you were able to leave it

765
00:51:42.360 --> 00:51:44.519
in the in the and then carry on with this

766
00:51:44.639 --> 00:51:45.079
new tank.

767
00:51:46.559 --> 00:51:49.159
I remember I look in the reach as fast as

768
00:51:49.280 --> 00:51:52.039
I want to go, as fast as possible. I don't

769
00:51:52.039 --> 00:51:59.880
need no extra baggage. So that's for what I was doing.

770
00:52:00.639 --> 00:52:05.880
That's all my mind that at same face fright or

771
00:52:06.000 --> 00:52:06.960
flight or something like that.

772
00:52:07.159 --> 00:52:13.039
I was just forward and as I keep going, and

773
00:52:13.239 --> 00:52:17.760
that our air pocket. But the son wasn't totally dry

774
00:52:18.400 --> 00:52:21.559
like the last one. This son was like halfway the

775
00:52:21.639 --> 00:52:29.280
pipe with water and liquid. You know, I hold up

776
00:52:29.559 --> 00:52:32.760
see if in my hair and trouble sent Judy water off.

777
00:52:33.880 --> 00:52:35.679
Are you able to say how long that was?

778
00:52:35.760 --> 00:52:36.079
For that?

779
00:52:36.199 --> 00:52:37.480
There was this air pocket.

780
00:52:38.719 --> 00:52:44.480
At this stage, I've been honest with you, after trying

781
00:52:44.559 --> 00:52:47.639
to use all my senses and understanding and whatever skill

782
00:52:47.679 --> 00:52:51.599
I had to with them. Fellas at this stage when

783
00:52:51.639 --> 00:52:54.280
I did and I started to move, it was like

784
00:52:54.440 --> 00:52:58.880
me running from my pito. But I wasn't thinking how

785
00:52:58.960 --> 00:53:02.559
far it is anything that I was just my mind

786
00:53:02.679 --> 00:53:09.039
was just setting forward, forward, forward, Yes, we'll.

787
00:53:08.880 --> 00:53:14.039
Be right back after a quick commercial break, don't go anywhere.

788
00:53:21.519 --> 00:53:29.760
So just before it came to voice Christopher, Christopher, yeah, fies.

789
00:53:30.880 --> 00:53:34.840
As you pause, you say away, I said, all right here,

790
00:53:34.880 --> 00:53:38.519
we are all right here, say right ther way, I say,

791
00:53:38.559 --> 00:53:41.280
I dimy pipe was all right here, summer right here?

792
00:53:42.440 --> 00:53:45.239
Say wait from is back way? Better?

793
00:53:45.639 --> 00:53:48.039
Beating down here too long? We stay down here too long.

794
00:53:48.079 --> 00:53:51.480
We need to move better away. We're down here too long.

795
00:53:52.239 --> 00:53:54.679
We have to save anybody we had to get out here.

796
00:53:54.719 --> 00:53:57.400
I can't stop, We can't take no breaks. If you

797
00:53:57.519 --> 00:53:59.400
need to take a break, stop and take a break.

798
00:54:01.239 --> 00:54:03.960
Once I reach out and I get as coming back

799
00:54:04.000 --> 00:54:09.079
for you, Chris Weird, Chris Weird, way fight that guy.

800
00:54:12.000 --> 00:54:16.880
Chris hears Phizi's voice, Remember that's phiz Alkurban fiz is

801
00:54:17.000 --> 00:54:19.519
asking Chris for them to stop and take a break,

802
00:54:19.800 --> 00:54:23.079
but Chris knows this would be like signing their death sentences.

803
00:54:23.800 --> 00:54:25.119
There can be no breaks.

804
00:54:25.760 --> 00:54:34.199
That before, when I realized the pipeline flooding out, I did, boy,

805
00:54:35.400 --> 00:54:36.360
how this thing happened?

806
00:54:36.440 --> 00:54:44.840
By now yeah we have.

807
00:54:46.519 --> 00:54:49.800
Chris realizes the pipe is flooding now and they need

808
00:54:49.880 --> 00:54:52.840
to get out a sap. There's no time to pontificate

809
00:54:52.960 --> 00:54:56.559
on what caused this disaster. That can wait right now.

810
00:54:56.719 --> 00:54:59.639
They need to move and as Chris says, have faith.

811
00:55:02.119 --> 00:55:06.360
Will Chris make it out alive? We'll find out on

812
00:55:06.480 --> 00:55:10.000
the next episode of Tapes from the Dark.

813
00:55:09.920 --> 00:55:22.000
Side, because no I going unfeast either depth or life right.

So it's either light above you or.

815
00:55:24.199 --> 00:55:28.880
Not make up of mind to die for the two

816
00:55:30.760 --> 00:55:31.320
