3 Terrible Tragedies That (Maybe) You Never Heard Of....

[@rhedosaurus2251]

A salute to Orion. A true heroic dog.

[@locomike102]

We don't deserve them.

[@sa_exploder]

Dogs are such fascinating animals. Orion had no search and rescue training, no handler, and had been separated from his owners. And yet, he pulled off the rescue of 37 people. I wonder what was going through Orion’s head as he was pulling those people out of the mud and water. Was it pure instinct? Or was there something else going on? Either way, what a big goddamn hero.

[@PhilWood82]

The first tragedy took place in my country; I was 16yrs old when it did. This was the first cult I knew about before Jonestown! Thank you for covering it! For the longest time; even up until now, it was called Kibweteere's cult coz he was the 'face' & main speaker/recruiter. But further investigations showed Mwerinde was the real mastermind & the one pulling all the strings; Kibweteere had more of the charisma & money. Uganda has a tendency of easily 'moving on' or sweeping things under the carpet. Thats the reason the leaders have never faced justice. After a few months of anger & uproar, life as we know it has to continue......sadly! PS: You did do your best with the pronunciation of their names!

[@ItsJustLisa]

That’s awful! One would think the families of the dead would want justice for their loved ones.

[@DarknessUnresolved]

Was there even an attempt by the authorities/govt. to arrest the cult leaders - for murdering around 1000 people - or was it more of a nuisance for them to even do their jobs?

[@chatteyj]

I really was hoping that the criminals had faced justice and were rotting in a jail so when I heard they escaped justice I was saddened. I really think you should bring these monsters to justice now, what they did was probably the worst crimes against humanity during peace time.

[@MrTonaluv]

@joselineayikoru2310 do you think the leaders are still alive and well? No one can be bothered to prosecute them?

[@lowtechredneck6704]

Even outside of the horrific tragedy for every family, the nation's overall economic future was probably affected to a statistically significant degree; South Korea averages less than a child per woman, and this outrage had a disproportionate effect upon children.

[@e.mjohnson9675]

That is an incredible story and I can't understand how it's been kept so quiet. It's really mind boggling. And it's somehow not surprising that director is now running a Google company

[@danielquick7541]

While I dislike the loss of life and the horrible things that happen to people in most of your videos, I really like how you research your videos and record them yourself. It demonstrates that you take this seriously and the quality of your videos shows through. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to seeing your next video.

[@NotTrundle]

This channel always provides well researched, and respectful, retellings of tragic events. You can always tell there is a great deal of reverance and respect for the victims. These videos are not meant to take a leering look at mass casulties, but instead, provide a solemn memorial to the lives lost. Thank you.

[@cmonkey63]

I know that kind of mud from northern Canada. It's largely clay. When wet it flows smooth but sets like concrete so hard I had to use a screwdriver to get it off my mountain bike. Imagine being buried by it.

[@Aliciapaige777]

Ohhhh, that beautiful, loving, special dog, is a true blessing and hero. He brought a smile to my face.. 💙💙💙🐾🐾🐾

[@ClefairyRox]

I learned about the South Korean humidifier sterilizer scandal recently from a true crime podcast called Rotten Mango. They go way more into depth about what happened there, and I recommend giving it a watch if you want to learn more. The other two stories are new to me, although I want to say that the Venezuelan mudslides sounds vaguely familiar. I didn't know about the dog that had saved thirty people, though! Orion was a very good boy!

[@RedFawcett]

I will admit I'm not a dog lover but a massive shout out to Orion and his accomplishment. Truly a braver creature I would regret not knowing about.

[@ellenbryn]

Thank you for bringing these to attention. I knew about the Vargas landslides from a geology perspective, because those are probably the most catastrophic landslides in modern history, but even there I only know of the city of Vargas built on the delta of past landslides - a common problem in mountainous terrains, see the city of Tahoma - and didn't realize just how many settlements were engulfed, nor the human z(or canine) element and aftermath. It's reslly valuable that you're digging beyond the major stories that a lot of disaster channels tend to cover sooner or later (but you were one of the first). Other than the most infamous stories like Bhopal and Lake Nyos, news from non-English-speaking or southern hemispheric countries is all too often a footnote or crowded out by sports and pop culture coverage in the English-speaking north (presumably in Oz and NZ as well).

[@maryscott9430]

The story about the humidifier cleaner was covered on the yt channel rotten mango and i think the title was something about 1500 child victims. Its a great deep dive into the case!

[@daphne8406]

The first story reminds me of this quote; «Beware of the man whose God is in the skies» by George Bernard Shaw.

[@elliottprice6084]

The first tragedy in Uganda reminded me of the story of Jim Jones, a seriously weird cult leader who ordered the slaughter of his cult. The Korean scandal just left me speechless on how quickly it could have been prevented, but it took far too long. And I had heard briefly of the Venezuelan mudslide tragedy, but I'd never heard of Orion, the heroic dog. What a legend

[@htos1av]

The group of cultists in the first story-dollars to doughnuts says they're here in America.

[@hewhoneverdies001]

The case of the Ugandan Christian Commune reminds me of a recent case that is being investigated in Kenya. I may not be remembering the details 100% correctly but here goes; over 100 bodies have been found so far, apparently some cult convinced a bunch of followers to starve themselves so that they could meet Jesus, or something like that. Some victims also appeared to have been murdered.

[@arnoldhenry]

These three tragedies, like all the others The Raven's Eye do, are never heard of because some are not newsworthy, especially in the United States or Europe. Unfortunately, the heads of television and radio stations make the decisions which stories air on their newscasts. Same thing with newspaper editors. For TV and radio, time restraints and newspapers, paper space. Costs also factor into the decisions.

It’s that we’ve been caught red handed sneaking military grade weapons inside designated “aid convoys” that go to secret armies who conduct terrorism and coups.
