The Darkest Moments in TV History 3

[@NickCrowley]

UPDATE: This video was removed because of a copyright claim from the WWE. I had to trim a portion of chapter 4 out which is why the edit might seem jarring. The video is still under dispute and unfortunately might be taken down again so enjoy it while it’s here! The whole situation is really disappointing as this was one of my best performing videos before it was taken down, but I’m just happy it’s back up again.🙏🏻

For those who don't know: it used to be that the pilots flying news helicopters were responsible for reporting too. This crash changed a lot, now reporting is done by reporters and not the pilots.

[@MrWolfSnack]

Yes, people like Bob Tur became professionals at both piloting and reporting at the same time, a one man army in the sky. They had cameras on a dome under the chopper to both monitor the live shot and the aircraft at the same time. Eventually due to cost news agencies would have a pilot/cameraman combo and the pilot would narrate what the cameraman is also taping.

As a Chilean, it really cannot be overstated how much the plane crash impacted the country. Not only did pretty much everyone watch calle 7 every night, as a family, but also Felipe Camiroaga was and is somewhat of a symbol, especially for elderly women of the country. Before hes death he was an idol, but after he became somewhat of a divine figure (not exaggerating, look up some photos of homemade shrines or calendars of him). Sad stuff all around, I vividly remember the night that I saw that calle 7 episode live, since I was around 8 years old or so, my mom made me and my sister get out of the kitchen and covered our ears so as to not hear.

[@Housesider]

It's worth pointing out that Benoit did a lot more than just "strangle" Nancy. He drugged his son and had him die in his sleep, but Nancy was brutalized almost beyond recognition, and the crime scene was said to have looked almost like a tornado had gone through the house. She was conscious for the majority of the assault. -He had also killed the family's pets and left them inside the family pool, one of the final text messages he sent to Chavo Guerrero was "The dogs are in the enclosed pool area."- (Edit: He apparently didn't kill the dogs, he put them in the pool area on leash, probably so neighbors/police wouldn't be afraid to investigate the house. Bizarre) The case was so much worse than what was said in the video. You can listen to Nancy Benoit's sister talk more about it in-depth on an older episode of Chris Jericho's podcast, Talk is Jericho.

[@BrickFighter13]

I think what hurts more is David Benoit (Chris’ first born) heard that his whole family all died. In an episode of Dark Side of The Ring, he said that one day him and Daniel would become Tag Team champions. That is just painful, the pain he has to live through to not only know that his parents and brother gone, but his Dad was the one that did it and has since been treated like dirt by other people because of it. From what I’ve seen he’s a good kid and he deserves better.

As someone who is into photography, there is something about documenting your last moments and preserving the last records of yourself and the people around you, when no one outside the plane would have otherwise shared your experience the same way, idk. It’s incredibly haunting, and yet there is something so genuine to it that almost makes it beautiful as well as horrifying. It’s the memories, and taking steps in your last moments to keep them safe, knowing that you won’t be there for when the people see them, but wanting to share your experience anyway. I’m not sure I’m wording this well. I don’t want to come off like I think it’s just beautiful and that i feel it’s not tragic and it very much is horrifying, to have any idea at all of what they were feeling, it’s tragic, but there is something so human about wanting others to know. It’s so very personal to preserve it for others, to share your last moments because you yourself won’t be there to remember them. To be remembered. To possibly share even a little of what it felt like. To do what you can to keep those images safe for others to see. I don’t know how to explain it, it’s moving. It’s expressive. It leaves your memory. You feel a connection and it’s incredibly tragic. It’s tragic that this is the last way they had to make a connection. It was deliberate as well. Those pictures weren’t taken by someone else, they were personal and intentionally shared with the people they left behind. It’s like a letter someone left behind in their last moments, but the story is told without words

The Chris Benoit situation is such a sad case. I didn't become a fan of wrestling until 2009, but my Dad has been a life long fan and was a big Benoit fan. I remember him being so upset, like not crying, but just sad he was gone. A fact left out of the video is that they actually got the details of the deaths being a murder/suicide during the actual tribute show. The following night on another WWE show (ECW), the WWE's owner Vince McMahon dedicated the show to those effected by Benoit's actions. WWE then proceeded to remove most mentions of Benoit from their website and has only made brief acknowledgments about him since then. They also offered little to no support for Benoit's other son, David Benoit or Nancy Benoit's sister who took Daniel in after everyone's passing. If there is one saving grace from all this, it's that because of Benoit, concussions in pro wrestling have been taken far more seriously since then, with moves that could potentially cause them being banned/rarely used.

Don't waste your money people. If you are on the internet, your data is something you will never be able to fully or even partially keep private.

Another important note about Chris Benoit is that he was severely depressed and (by all accounts) not the same after his best friend Eddie Guerrero passed away 2 years prior. There’s a moment during Eddie’s tribute show where Chris is giving his own testimonial and completely broke down by the end of it live. He was severely depressed, his performances in the ring weren’t as exceptional as they used to be, and he was just completely lost. The one silver lining in both instances is the effect both passings had on the business itself. Eddie’s death lead to more in depth drug tests due to him dying of steroid abuse from years prior, and Chris’ death lead to the banning of certain moves that involve damage to the head in order to prevent another tragedy like this from happening.

One person made the choice to end three lives. Two people including a child did not get to make that choice, so fuck Chris Benoit, they should've thrown his ass in a wood chipper and left out for scavengers. Anybody who tries to justify his actions deserve the same treatment his wife and child got

CTE also killed Dave Mirra and Aaron Hernandez. Chronic Tramatic Encephalitis.

Atleast these 3 did for sure. Some people can lose the ability to talk or move limbs. It's devastating to the ones experiencing their decline.

[@Housesider]

Benoit had lost a lot of close friends by the time even Eddie had passed, but Eddie definitely broke him. His heart was in terrible condition as well from decades of hardcore steroid and substance abuse, to the point his docs had informed him he didn't have a bright future in terms of longevity. Not only that, but his rocky marriage with Nancy, where both were physically violent with each other throughout their relationship (there was an incident in the 90s where Nancy stabbed Benoit during an intense argument) certainly didn't help matters.

[@Pirateman493]

I knew that Chris Benoit was eventually gonna be featured in this series. The Incident is still the most shocking, out of nowhere tragedy that I can know of.

whats even more sad is that during that time people didnt know how easy it was to trick and pass a polygraph test and lie the entire time. i have a family member who is a drug user and many years ago he was brought into the station for questioning and given a polygraph test numerous times. he passed it every single time despite being 100% guilty of exactly what they were after him for. ultimately he had to go to court for something and the judge asked for a polygraph test and he bragged that he has beaten them so many times that this one would be no different and her proved them right. they asked for his legal name, his address and even the color shirt he was wearing and he lied the whole time to prove he could. needless to say he did get charged of multiple crimes related to drug usage and had to pay a hefty fine as well. so for a show like "the value of truth" a person with the right mentality and determination could easily lie their way passed the polygraph and win all the money the show would offer. there is a very good reason why a polygraph is no longer used in courts to prove innocent or guilt, they can be manipulated easily and a nervous person who is in fact innocent can fail it despite being honest. its sad that she died, but thats also what happens when you're honest and admit on live TV that your lover means nothing to you and is just a place holder for a bigger fish. she didnt deserve to die of course but she knew the risks involved.

This led to a situation where news helicopter pilots were regularly distracted with literally trying to do two jobs at once, all swarming around the same general area of the crime scenes. This was more of a case of an inevitable tragedy rather than a freak accident.

[@TheRealCeeJai]

There were SIX news choppers all occupying the same air space at the same time. That only two collided is actually somewhat of a small miracle.

[@sammysamlovescats]

@@TheRealCeeJai That in and of itself isn't inherently the problem. Don't get me wrong, it ain't great, but they did have procedures for who would occupy what area, and there would usually be communication between them. Several of them probably knew each other or were friends. But it was that with the combination of pilots being the reporters instead of solely dedicated to flying safely ultimately led to it

Back somewhere around 1991, the Buffalo news showed a video of a newlywed couple who had taken a hot air balloon ride which ended in them slowly drifting into power lines. You could hear them screaming helplessly as they gently floated toward their deaths. It was so horrific that it haunts me to this day.

[@smolsammichowo]

Whats even more sad about the Chris Bennoit incident is that the media instead of focusing on the family & victims ( being his wife & son ) they used the tragedy to say steroids or other things even before the brain scan was done were involved while sometimes barely or not even bringing up the two innocent lives that were lost. While steroid use / drug use in pro wrestling is of course a bad thing, the loss of those two should not have been used like that.

[@ThatGuySizzleMac]

CTE is always a no-no whenever discussing anything full contact sports at least up until the mid 2010s. The WWE and NFL used to try and throw as much litigation against news agencies whenever they would come up as motive especially whenever it was becoming apparent that was the case in a lot of former wrestlers and players un-aliving or other extreme behavior (i.e. Junior Seau's death and the letter stating he wanted his brain scanned as to why he did it (severe CTE), the whole Antonio Brown saga, and Razor Ramon's drug abuse and 2nd Degree Murder charge in the 80s). The news agencies would just say drug/steroid abuse back then just cause they feared that they would get sued into oblivion.

[@AlphaOmegaKnight77658]

I don’t think it would have looked good for them to focus on the victims too much because people would assume they were doing it to get off the hook and/or to look good amidst the tragedy. Sometimes people just want privacy for their deceased loved ones too, they wouldn’t want all the attention.

there was another factor at play for the benoit tragedy: eddie Guerrero. eddie was a fellow wrestler and chris' best friend in the world. a year before, eddie died in his hotel room, found by his nephew, chavo. when chavo called chris, who was in the same hotel and was waiting for him to come down for a group work out, he told him what happened and let out a gutteral scream that chavo never knew chris could make. needless to say, eddie's death had a massive impact upon him but it was felt that he never got the chance to mourn for him.

My family and I had tickets to that show in Corpus Christi, and I was genuinely not upset knowing about what had happened, even feeling bad for Beniot. Of course, knowing what I know now, i can't say much about my respect for Beniot. As someone who is now training to be in the industry, speaking with guys who wrestled him and knew him, they all say the same thing. They say yes, he was a great performer, but he killed his family and that's not something people can just excuse.

[@profoundpunk]

A TBI doesn't excuse someone's actions, but I think it's fine to appreciate someone's life or career within the context of knowing what they dealt with. I've known a few individuals with Alzheimer's, and it turned them into totally different people. They could be angry, belligerent, or change moods on a dime. Those memories suck, but it doesn't change the fact they were wonderful people before their illness took over. I'll admit I'm not a big pro wrestling fan. Do they screen for TBIs or take other precautions to ensure something like this doesn't happen again? Either way, I hope you're staying safe while training and have a great career ahead in the industry.

[@BrainJuiceTX]

@@profoundpunk Because of this there have been numerous moves blacklisted and banned, although I'm a huge fan of hardcore wrestling, I think I'm going to do more brawling styles without the chairs and tables.

One thing no one ever seems to mention about The Moment of Truth is that Bryan and Ruth broke up _before_ the show. Bryan was abusing her and convinced her to do the show for money, browbeating her until she agreed. Ruth _did not want to do it._ It was _Bryan's_ idea. At some point, shortly before the day of filming, Ruth finally had enough of the abuse and dumped Bryan, but they were already scheduled to appear and backing out had a hefty cancellation fee, so she agreed to go through the motions and pretend they were still together. Bryan already knew everything she was going to say, so this "crime of passion" nonsense is just that-nonsense. After the program, Bryan was mocked by _some_ people in his community, but overall he received massive support, meanwhile Ruth was publicly shamed and bashed from all sides. Even the media treated her like some kind of monster, calling her a slt and a sx worker. In reality, she simply hosted at a local night club and only accepted money for sx twice... _to pay off Bryan's debts!_ He encouraged her to do it because he needed money! There's also evidence to suggest he planned to kill her long before the show. Ruth's family members have gone on record multiple times to say that the show had absolutely nothing to do with Bryan's actions and that he was simply using it as an excuse to escape responsibility. Even more awful, Bryan's uncle and cousin also allegedly encouraged him to kill Ruth, with his cousin allegedly driving him and Ruth's body to the dump site where he buried her.
