First, boiling temperatures at the elevation of Yellowstone is 199 F (92 C). The accident described here is not actually very common. While is is a dumb (and extremely painful) way to die. I was working in the park the year a tourist stopped off with his dog. Failing to place his dog on a leash the dog, who loved the water, ran out and before anyone could stop him jumped into the water. Witnesses said the sounds the dog made were the most horrifying sounds most of them ever heard. It proved too much for the owner who pulled his shirt off and before anyone could stop him he to jumped into the water. 199 F is hot enough to cause 3rd degree burns to human and canine skin instantly. As both dog and owner were completely submerged both suffered 3rd degree burns over 100% of their body. There is simply no way to survive such terrible burns. The worst part is, the water is not hot enough to destroy the pain receptors in your skin as a fire will do. So this means every pain receptor in the mans skin did nothing but send massive levels of pain to his brain for the rest of his life. It was a very long three days.

@@13699111 Precisely! This is where modern day meatheads, ego maniacs and Neanderthals get confused. “Survival of the fittest” and “Strongest survive” are misleading quotes and are NOT scientific fact or theory of our evolution. In FACT the fittest and strongest do not always survive but idiots take it literally and do all kinds of bizarre and extreme activities to try and chase this and put themselves physically in the fantasy of this reality they have created. The actual scientific theory and fact is that the most “adaptable” species are the ones that survive and prosper. Sometimes it is through fortune and chance but regarding humans (homosapiens) it has been through intelligence. Case in point, Neanderthals were actually much bigger than humans, far far stronger, had much bigger brains and were ferocious HOWEVER human beings developed their intelligence and were able to problem solve and creatively adapt their ways of hunting and gathering to ensure that they would get their prey and thus food source whereas Neanderthals were far far more explosive but tired very quickly and lacked the intelligence to adapt and it is believed that they lost access to food sources because of this and developed poorer health and disease which led to their extinction. The question now is can human beings adapt to not wiping out the entire planet and ourselves through a combination of intelligence and our beastly instincts.

A UN plane went down in DRC in 2010. My friend was the co-pilot, there was no survivors. The reason it crashed is widely believed to be that it wasn’t carrying enough fuel as the ground crews somehow ‘fixed’ the fuel weights so they could sell the excess, it also crashed on approach in the ‘other Congo’ across the river, near Brazzaville. Apparently it burnt up more fuel en route from Goma than expected as it had to fly around unexpected weather conditions. To cover it all up the DRC investigators said that a crocodile had been sneaked aboard and that it had attacked people. Exactly the same story as this.

Of course, there is the infamous death of the singer of the band Chicago, who put a revolver to his head to the horror of his friends who begged him to stop. He displayed the gun and indicated that the loaded chamber was not in the barrel, as it was in the position just prior to the barrel.

The second man is shocked and runs over to the edge just in time to see the first get pulled into the building. A few minutes later he is back on the roof and says, "I told you" "I gotta try this" says the second guy, so he downs the rest of his beer, walks up to the edge, jumps off, and falls to his death.

He crouched down and kept kinda duck walking towards the cubs looking through the view finder. That view made objects look further away. When he snapped the shot, he realized he was only about 5- 6 feet from the bear. He dropped the camera and ran back to the car.

I feel worse for the crocodile than the people. It got stuffed into a duffel bag and did nothing wrong just to get killed.

[@cnukem]

So sad

[@tumslucks9781]

It got stuffed into a duffel bag and then became luggage!

[@FogelsChannel]

One crocodile feeling discomfort causes you more pain than an airplane full of humans dying in a fiery crash. Jeffrey Dahmer said the same thing.

They died as fools died. Yet it is appointed on to man once to die and after death, judgment.

Thank you for immediately converting Fahrenheit to Celsius 😅🙏🏽🫵🏽

[@weboquixotic6828]

I just have to nitpick one detail... At the altitude above sea level in which those natural features are found, water does not boil at 212°F. It would be boiling at appx. 205°F due to reduced atmospheric pressure. Don't get me wrong, that is still deadly. But my high school physics teacher would throw a fit over that detail. The moral of the story is to finish school kids.

[@davewilson4493]

If the water has stuff dissolved in it, especially stuff sufficient to dissolve someone overnight, while it may well not be boiling at 212F, it might not be boiling at 205F either.

[@erictaylor5462]

3:45 Boiling temperature at the elevation of Norris Basin is actually 199 F (93 C) This is still hot enough to cause instant 3rd degree burns on any skin placed in the water.

Frogs and lobsters are smart enough to shun boiling water. But this fellow obviously wasn't😅

[@mystikmind2005]

This is my short list of what i think are the stupidest ways to die; 1) riding motorcycles recklessly and or like a smart arse - this one has got my tick as the stupidest of all time, hands down. Lets be honest, nothing else comes close. 2) Substance abuse. 3) walking out in traffic while heavily intoxicated. This above lot could take up all your Darwin awards a thousand times over, no need to talk about anything else.

[@nedflanders3769]

LMAO at the bloopers!😅😅

[@eekamouse-js8lr]

Let me guess. The sole survivor of that plane flight was the owner of the crocodile.

[@CrabbyOldLady]

It's insane how many people at Yellowstone stick their hands in the thermal pools to test the temperature. On my most recent visit, I saw three people do the same idiotic thing in a single day.

[@gshenaut]

Survived by his wife, Louisa Anna (McMahon) Vallandigham, and his son Charles Vallandigham, [Vallandigham] was buried in Woodland Cemetery in Dayton, Ohio-Wikipedia So, since he had a child before dying, he is unqualified for the Darwin Award.

[@dublkrossr2059]

In the UK or America the Crocodile would've been deemed as a "support Animal" and been cleared for flight

[@floydlawsen]

If it were a support animal and people knew about maybe they wouldn't have panicked.

I hardly think panicking and running away from s crocodile is worthy of a Darwin Award

[@nowinter7355]

Agreed, but it still made for an entertaining and dark story, wouldn't you say?

[@ZontarDow]

It was for the guy who brought it on board

[@keepthechange2811]

They literally panicked to death....

[@nonna_sof5889]

Also you're not eligible is your stupidity kills others. So even the person who brought it in the first place couldn't get the award.

[@DarisT-qc1fw]

It was for the idiot who snuck a frikkin crocodile onto a frikkin plane.

[@Martin_Siegel]

I'm not sure that Vallandigham removed himself from the gene pool. At the age of 41 he was most likely married and had kids.

[@Mechmaster0]

You're quite right, he had a son and is therefore ineligible for a Darwin award.
