Reacting to MrBallen | This man is about to live a nightmare

[@toecutterjenkins]

I remember when this happened. The world was not happy that Russia didn't let anyone help. The entire world would have done what they could to save those men. This was supposed to be a revolutionary sub. The Russians didn't want other countries to see it and any tech on board.

[@Kaybri0526]

Wow, so to protect and keep the secret of the sun and the tech on board they let all of these men die. Wow.

[@d2ndborn]

I was in the US Navy when this happened. As it was said we and several nations offered help. They said no! It is sad. Even if in a different Nave we are all bothers. Thurstan I hope you and all of your family really have a great Christmas. Get your shopping done,lol.

[@strpdhatldy]

I remember this too. They would not let anyone help, even though they might have been saved.

[@begging4music]

Secrets, pride, ego, it ain't worth it. Good video. Happy Winter Solstice.

[@ajc5903]

I saw a movie (The Command) about this on Netflix a few months ago it was really good . Definitely worth a watch.

[@davidbrannon2627]

Shoutout to mrballen.......almost 5M subs so damn fast! . The man is great at storytelling.

[@CriticalityIncident]

Has it already been 20+ years since this happened?! Feels like not that long ago. I'm getting old.

[@davidbrannon2627]

FYI ......although he accepts "MrBallen".......it is actually MrBAllen .....his name is John B Allen .....even I still refer to him as MrBallen. Old habits are hard to break .......this guy is a legend.

[@LeesReviews69]

Just last week KZbin finally recommended me MrBallens channel! It is perfect to listen to before sleep

[@Nostripe361]

Also seen the idea that the first explosion may have been caused by faulty welding on the training torpedo allowing sea water to mix with the the torpedo’s fuel and cause a chemical reaction.

[@lorettascurato2692]

I remember this incident, but these details make it even worse 😭. Honestly, I would have preferred being killed outright because I couldn’t have tolerated the extended terror. God Bless them all.

[@Tshetyles]

I was a U.S. submariner, this is terrifying stuff. You should check out the submarine wet trainer video if you want to get an idea of what flooding would look like onboard a submarine. I remember hammering my buddy's hand while he held the plug in the hole. "Im hitting your hand I can't see anything " "Just keep going I can't feel my fingers anymore anyway" The water was so cold.

[@gerardc6070]

I remember watching this on the news, with my dad (US Navy). I remember him saying that they (russians) didn't want the US having a look at the russian hardware so probably won't let the US help.

[@LeesReviews69]

I watch your channel a lot a lot now. Thanks you!

[@queenbutterfly7519]

Merry Christmas to you Luka and all your family and friends ❤ love you and hope you found everything you were shopping for 🎄🎁

[@theamaranth8825]

Mentioned before but would be cool to see you react to Mr Ballen's "3 places you can't go and people who did anyways" stories, that's my favorite series. Also if you're going to do more of his "3 photos with disturbing backstories" the #1 story from part 6 is one of my favorite stories of all time

[@staciehenderson6982]

Claustrophobia inducing stories like that one mess with me more than just about any other type of story. Another story of that sort is David Shaw's death at Bushman's Hole. There's a good but obviously sad documentary about it called Dave Not Coming Back.

[@RogueJyn]

These days I dont respect Putin. But they really compensated those families. 10 years salary, housing and full college tuition. That's amazing. I'm glad they really cared about the families that were affected.

[@nihilityazathoth2298]

Happy Christmas Eve or Christmas day Lav Luka and everyone wish you all a merry Christmas ☃️☃️☃️☃️🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@kingkeesietv]

Love the vids❣️ keep it up

[@procommunistdestruction2318]

I didn't realize Mr ballen was a navy seal

[@mohammadjavadmonjezi]

such horrifying story...

[@MRDPS1]

yes more MrBallen!!! love to see it, happy holidays Thurston! 🔥🥂🎉

[@cfromcass]

Good reaction. Merry Christmas all.

[@steeljawX]

Just remember Lav, "Bezos Claus" is always happy to deliver the perfect gift at the cost of your soul. Also, you don't have to try to guess what your friends and family want from "Bezos Claus", Amazon Gift Cards are just "soul IOU"s to Bezos-bub.

[@chadmccarthy1898]

Any of Mr ballens videos are good that man is simply a great story teller

[@douglasostrander5072]

Yah that's a Merry Christmas story.

[@ryanje8147]

Wait......how did the note not get wet if it was only in his pocket and he was drowned in water???

[@firebird7479]

🎶 I'm Popov the Sailor Man...🙄

[@shadynasty8729]

Kursk or Cursed ? What a sad story. Oh well, Merry Christmas.

[@andrewmunguia3586]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[@MFCOOL83]

Merry Christmas Eve and Merry Christmas everyone. ❤

[@nwj03a]

Awful leadership above them. I don’t like Russia, Americans don’t like Russia, but those were human beings. Frickin help if you can, it’s basic decency.

[@jahnj2523]

Oh my days

[@TheCinder24]

I love it when he says that. Thurston has such a good heart. I hope it never changes.

[@lmchatwin77]

Merry Christmas

[@bradb3248]

Please react to, Mr Ballen , This Island Held a Very Dark Secret Until 2004

[@trollmasterstayhigh4209]

Hope u had good luck or have good luck looking for good presents

[@mikehunt368]

not sure this is completely true regarding the letter… writing in pitch black…. water filled up the compartment but didn’t mess up the letter? waterproof paper?

[@mikehunt368]

@Jeff Gordon he said that “he found the last open spot on the note and wrote ________” or something like that… if it’s pitch dark you aren’t going to find “the open spot” and then write something … sorry

[@SqualingtonConstantine]

​@@mikehunt368 It's not that he "found" a spot to write in pitch darkness, he just remembered where he previously wrote his possibly final words on a piece of paper.

[@mikehunt368]

@@SqualingtonConstantine doubtful… the story is true, the note is fabricated for entertainment purposes… which is kinda sad

[@momentary_]

@@mikehunt368 I'm sure they have his handwriting on other documents and can match it to the note.

[@momentary_]

@@mikehunt368 Also, it was the Norwegians who found the note, so you're saying the Norwegian divers planted a fake note written in Russian on his body?

[@edwardbrady1698]

Do reactions to Mr Ballen with Fatboy

[@trollmasterstayhigh4209]

First

[@Hey_Jamie]

Lol, I just find it difficult to sympathize with Russian military. If that never happened, that sub and those torpedoes would have America’s name all over them.

[@MohammedAli-hl4mr]
