Although focused primarily on disasters, this channel is all about the interesting, the strange, the unsolved, the tragic. Our world has a varied history full of terrible tragedies, bizarre tales, unexplained events, and extravagant people. I hope you enjoy some of the fascinating stories we have here.

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.

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.

[@jolaynemichaud4377]

The smile for the dog at the end of the video was a thoughtful touch.

[@DamianMaisano]

That injured number of the humidifier disaster is insane. They have less than 52 million people, so that would be percentage points of the entire population.

[@ShadeEmberi]

And just 7 years and he wasn't the only guilty one. So many should have been in prison

[@seanpetaia]

[@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

[@dd198111]

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.

[@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.

[@ohhkayy0919]

[@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).

[@antlerman7644]

The best disaster channel on YT. Thanks for not being sensationalist, and reporting diligently.

[@ramblingrob4693]

Tragedy Tales is better

[@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.

[@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!

[@chocolatechip12]

I had not heard of any of these. Thank you for telling these stories that deserve to be told.

[@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!

[@kedeglow2743]

Thank you for narrating this yourself--you have a nice voice, a lovely accent, and I think you did a great job on the names. Thanks also for recognizing Orian! Dogs are a huge part of my life.

[@MrNelmo2]

So much pain, suffering and death in the world - pretty depressing. I imagine these 3 cases are tip of the iceberg...

[@lyedavide]

So much tragedy that is the fabric of "humanity" has been glossed over, downplayed and outrightly denied that it's a surprise that you managed to even discover these trio of calamities. Thanks for keeping the memories of those who were lost and those whose lives were destroyed alive. And Orion is a true hero!

[@6Haunted-Days]

Or ya know LOST TO TIME. You do know tragedies didn’t just happen in the 20th century….most of the worst tragedies well never know about 🙄 just floors me how often people are just ignorant and don’t THINK for even second how much human history has come WELL BEFORE this century and the last……the last century is a BLIP a tiny blip in time compared to all of humans past……

[@susanlynch1966]

Fascinating as ever, thanks for sharing these stories.

[@stevea1288]

Thanks again for your videos, these tragedies would never get any recognition otherwise. Raven's Eye is one of the best channels KZbin by far ❤

[@marknestbox]

One KZbin channel like no other, and consistently astonishing. I know someone that watched all three stories in a stunned trance, and when Orion was detailed, that someone sat there blubbering. This is what KZbin is really all about. Thank you.

[@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

[@timmied8461]

I too, have never heard of these Three Terrible Tragedies! Thank you for bring them to light! Orion is a True Hero❣

[@danchilds6915]

All shockingly terrible stories well told as always ... that last story the last bit ... Best boy ever . Wot an absolute hero

[@antlerman7644]

Wow those two stories are horrifying. The fact that the CEO got away with it and got to run Google is absolutely disgusting. Corruption is Rife in South Korea.

[@irishbilly1175]

The only thing that surprises me about the ceo getting away with it is that he works for Google and not Amazon now.

[@JennRighter]

Please do a video about the tens of thousands of people who have died doing the Haaj pilgrimage.

[@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.

[@benp4339]

God damn

[@JosieJOK]

I actually did hear about the Vargas slides, but the other two were new to me. Thanks for bringing lesser-known tragedies to light!

[@urbanmidnight1]

Not gonna lie, the bit at the end about Orion brought a tear to my eye.

[@disaster988]

The only reason I know about the Vargas Tragedy was an old Discovery Channel documentary called "Billion Dollar Disasters"

[@daphne8406]

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

It's crazy that there was literally a whole other Jonestown massacre that wasn't really talked about(at least, not that I ever heard). That's so strange to me. That dog is awesome. I hope he's enjoying retirement going on adventures with his person and getting daily bellyrubs😊 I subbed

[@calvinbaII]

Hey Raven's Eye, if you do another one of these videos with smaller disasters combined into one video perhaps you could do a short one on the 1989 Cormier-Village Hayride Accident in New Brunswick Canada. A logging truck tipped over going around a turn and fell on a hay cart with families on it going on a "hay ride" at a family reunion. There should be archive photos and news reports from CBC or youtube.

[@theravenseye9443]

Sure - I will keep it in mind.

The Oxy Ssak Ssak one made me think of an ad I'd seen for a powdered make-up ( foundation I think ), and how I thought that it couldn't be good to be inhaling that fine dust. I wonder if that will be a scandal in the future.

[@StrongDreamsWaitHere]

Depends on what it's made of.

[@mothMagnets]

@@StrongDreamsWaitHere Probably and I doubt it's anything toxic. But my concern would be that the regulations for cosmetic products don't consider that someone might be inhaling them on a regular basis. It's generally not good for anything to get into your lungs.

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.

The only reason I know of the last tragedy is that a colleague of three years of mine was working in one of the neighbouring countries when it happened. The organisation she worked with decided that "yeah, we'll divert our efforts to Venezuela". There was, so she told me, a lot to do and much help needed after the tragedy.

[@WouldntULikeToKnow.]

[@reachandler3655]

The religious commune in Uganda, I expected tragic loss of life, but hadn't expected it to be so brutal, I truly hope the leaders and those who helped them burn in hell, they deserve to experience the pain and horror of their victims. The Korean tragedy is horrendous! Did the victims get compensation? Makes a change for someone in charge to take responsibility and be held accountable, although 7 years for 14,000 deaths and 6,000 life-long injuries seems lenient. Not testing products was irresponsible and negligent. The Vargas mudslide is another example of the terrifyingly destructive power of nature. It's hard to comprehend how so many could be killed in such a short space of time. Thankyou for telling us about Orion, truly man's best friend and true hero!
