Mr Ballen this is my original poem to you: (from the perspective of the like button) At first it was little and nothing to fear However one day this ordeal became increasingly severe. Abuse turned to torture it became a streak Now posting up to 3,4 even 5 times a week Those words still haunt me not this nor that The strange, dark and mysterious delivered in story format.

Andrews story is famous here in Australia. He was repeatedly told that it was extremely dangerous but he didn't listen. When his wife and son went to Auckland to wait for him at the dock, the media were also there. I think that he might've been hallucinating due to hypothermia and thought he could see land, jumped into the ocean to try to swim, then drowned. I feel so bad for his wife and son, never knowing what happened to Andrew.

[@dragonmaster9360]

He was a selfish jerk who, because of his ego, betrayed both his wife and child. Instead of "I'm a husband and father now, time to grow up and accept my responsibilities, it was all about "look at how wonderful I am...." Too bad he died but he was a loser. No different then a parent who abuses drugs and alcohol and neglects their spouse and children.

[@katjohannessen6009]

More info about Ouchi: while he did hate the amount of pain he was going through, he kept agreeing to treatments because both he, the doctors, and his family believed he would survive. Eventually when he stopped responding, either due to the pain being too high or him being completely brain dead, his body would still occasionally show signs that it /might/ revive itself (ex. Stomach mucosa linings returning, some of his skin regrowing, his sisters bone marrow transplant taking, his platelet count going up) and this sliver of hope made the doctors and his family hopeful that he'll recvover. Eventually though, most of his organs would fail and get replaced with machines. After dying 2 times for 45 minutes, he essentially went 100% brain dead and the lead doctor decided that he couldn't keep trying to keep a man alive who was more machine than man. Amazingly though, despite loosing almost all muscle matter in his body, loosing almost 2 liters lf fluid a day through his skin, and having almost all of his organs fail, his heart was completely unharmed and healthy. Which is weirdly poetic in a sad way.

[@thedemolitionmuniciple]

I was hoping someone would know this. I don't blame MrBallen, he is probably saying what he read somewhere else, but yeah most sources completely botch the story.

[@yourresume373]

And the image that he's talking about was revealed to actually not be of him, it was a victim of another kind of accident (burning, maybe? I don't remember).

[@BunnyQueen97]

Yeah i will never say this enough: Ouchi was only kept alive for so long because his family demanded it. Doctors pleaded with them to let him go, but they were convinced they had to give him a fighting chance. This is really common with people in hospice, this was just an incredible extreme.

[@icerose21]

Just going to jump in with a common misconception that has been floating around about story 3. I believe the more "graphic" picture of Hisachi Ouchi that you are referring to is the one of him supposedly strung up by his fingers and calves (for the feet have been amputated), looking like a skeleton with pink membrane covering the body because all of the skin has basically been melted away. This picture is actually NOT Hisachi Ouchi. This picture was most likely taken of a poor soul at a hospital in Texas that specializes in burns, in fact a textbook on burns seems to have a secondary picture of this person from a different angle. Ouchi never had his legs amputated, and his skin was not completely gone at the time of his death. The bed and equipment in the picture do not match the ones used on Ouchi during his time in the hospital. Lastly, Ouchi was constantly wrapped in specially medicated gauze at all times except during changings. There are many more misconceptions, some mentioned in this video, that did not occur or at least cannot be confirmed from the information that we currently have. A redditor did an extremely in-depth post about this and explains it much better than I ever could. Thank you for not showing the other photo MrBallen. By trying to avoid youtube's censor, you also managed to keep away from perpetuating a falsehood about this poor man's death. Still makes you wonder what happened to that other poor person though. www.reddit.com/user/willowoftheriver/comments/7czmvt/83_days_of_radiation_sickness_the_death_of/

I've been fascinated by Ouchi's story for so long. Depending on who is telling it, it was the hospital and medical team that kept him alive inhumanely.

With all this finger-pointing, the true villains slip through the cracks. His employer, that ordered him to bypass safety in the name of expediency.

Andrew’s story is just sad. He knew for DAYS before his distress call that he didn’t think he could make it, but instead of pushing his distress beacon and being rescued when he was still in marginally good condition he waited till he was in emergency distress and that ultimately lead to his death. It was so preventable, but his pride got in the way.

A failed and reckless adrenaline junkie who destroyed his familiy by removing himself as a father for reasons beyond all rational belief. Written by an enabler, clearly in denial, far away from all realities. All in all a bunch of self-pity, mixed with the personality of a submissive wife that desperately tries to polish up the fading reputation of her irresponsible, drowned husband. A pathetic book.”

It doesn’t matter how proud, or confident you are, if something looks wrong, stop doing it and either turn around or get help. So many stories of people either going missing or just simply dying because they pushed themselves when they shouldn’t have. If you know something is hopeless, then seek help. It’s sad to listen to all these stories of people perishing when really they could have survived. Rest in peace to all of them. Their deaths leave a very important message behind that hopefully others will learn from.

Andrew the kayaking cretin had no right to risk his life so recklessly - he had a small, dependant child, and a responsibility to raise him to adulthood. Once you bring a child into this world, you forfeit the right to make selfish choices and play fast and loose with your mortality like that. He was a lousy example to his child! I hope his widow found a better man with a big enough heart to be the father to his child that he was not.

Radiation sickness is such a scary thing. In the ending stages it gets so bad they can’t administer any morphine so you’re just laying there rotting. Gives me chills every time

I watched a documentary on that radiation blast and it's crazy how long they kept him alive. Complete torture.

There is actually a documental video here in KZbin about him where they show actual pictures of his body, it is very traumatizing, I do not recommend watching it. Even though I watch a lot of stuff like that and I am not easily traumatized, that picture will always be on my mind.

Random fact: there is a woman who appears in the documentary "Zach and Addie" she was a friend of the couple and talks about their relationship. A few years later her and her partner would be arrested and charged with kidnapping and dismembering an exotic dancer from a club in the French Quarter. Strange how these things seem to work out!

from what ive heard and seen, the picture usually associated with Ouchi’s story is not actually the real picture of him. It’s of a severe burn victim instead, but many just label it as him instead.

[@helenbunnehmummeh5154]

I read a book about #3. It’s pretty much a day by day analysis of his deteriorating state. It’s called a slow death, 83 days of radiation sickness. It’s a harrowing read, not only because of his catastrophic injuries, but also because of how his family appeared to not realise his prognosis and they kept making origami’s and wishing him to “do his best” to recover. It’s deeply affecting to read.

reminds me a tiny bit of the book “A Thousand Paper Cranes” about a little girl in Japan iirc who was affected by the radiation from the two nuclear bombs the US dropped (might be getting details wrong but she suffered greatly and it described her decline from the poisoning). Read it in elementary school and never forgot. Thank you for mentioning the book you read, I have to check it out!
