Top 3 Strange But True | You won’t see this coming

[@MrDrokkul]

The pilot probably wasn't able to even attempt lying because the black box in the plane records all control changes/adjustments and what the pilot and co-pilot say to each other. It's a way for officials to figure out why a plane crashed and his goose was cooked.

[@jacobsheber6803]

Apparently the pilot tried to save some of the passengers on the plane before he passed out and that's probably why he was given a short sentence

[@violetpuddins]

Imagine you’re on a flight and you die just because the people flying you are “bored”. Really shows that anything can happen at any time.

This comment made me laugh so hard. And it's so devastatimg for that family that i felt guilty But it's just like oh my God, we can't even beat potatoes rotting if we're not careful.

[@ZeallustImmortal]

Last story is quite something, isnt it? Betrayed by everybody he cared about, a broken man with nothing left to lose except his sanity. Definitely not justified though, absolutely batshit insane. Its the kind of shit people say they feel like doing in those scenarios but never would. The overblown exaggeration of "i could get back at her in the worst way" except dude actually went and did it.

[@dopeatcod7]

YES!! I love your MrBallen reactions so much

[@TDM1138]

The first story is sad because it was the result of absolute stupidity. I don’t care how bored you are, you have people’s lives in your hands. 15 years wasn’t enough. The second story is just all around sad. That’s awful. I’ll just not comment on the third. Good god that was rough.

[@ZeallustImmortal]

He was tripping hard af. No relationship is worth all that.

[@DisorientedWanderer]

I agree with chad on the last one. That was a full psychotic breakdown caused by shit after shit piling on too fast and him trying way to hard to hold it all together. I honestly thought he brought a different part of the guy at first. I legit don't know which is worse.

[@ZeallustImmortal]

If Ballen didnt put so much emphasis on the fact the brand of the bag was head i would have assumed the other part too.

[@MistaBaze]

[@mannyegarica12]

13:38 Your face that learns that potatoes can be poisonous is a real thing, and it's not just in Minecraft. I think that the poison comes from the eye of the potatoes, the green roots to fight off predators

[@Thegoat152]

You have to understand with the first story this is the Soviet Union we are talking about. 15 years was a life sentence. By American standards 15 years seems light for his crime, but in the Gulag system 15 years means no one‘s ever going to see you again.

[@989meechy]

[@Ruebz_f30]

he had 2 of the most important people in his life commit the ultimate form of betrayal. both of those people, he would kill for and die for. His brother in arms and the mother of his child (or so he thought). I don't agree with his actions but I understand his state of mind.

[@ZeallustImmortal]

Ive certainly felt betrayal enough to seriously hurt somebody (not murder, just an ass beating), but i couldnt imagine staying that angry long enough to do everything he did though, there was plenty of time for him to "snap back" to reality during that whole process, yknow?

[@katakovacs2066]

The first 2 story are horrible to think 70 people would die because the pilot was a jackass or at you whole family would die because of toxic potato gas is just crazy. Honestly though in the 3rd story i can't feel bad for Gregory or the wife and i rather sympathize with the killer. Yes he's a mrderer bu Steffan was both horribly betrayed by his best friend and his wife with a crazy and disgusting cheating like that i'm sure a lot of people would do something crazy like that in the heat of the moment. I'm also sure his sentence was later reduced (they often do with reasons like this).

[@TheShadowCookie]

While all three stories were tragic, the last one definitely wasn't a matter as simple as "just move on with your life" and find a new mate. People, especially these days, can feel emotionally unstable, and they need a partner to survive. To them, such a betrayal truly is shattering, and moving on is often mentally impossible. Now, immediately resorting to murder definitely indicates some underlying issues, but just the fact that he felt crushed and unable to move on doesn't surprise me at all. I myself am on the emotionally weak side of things, have a miserable past, and my girlfriend of 16 years keeps me going. Were she to suddenly disappear, I would certainly not end someone else's life, but mine would feel over for sure.

[@mothified1676]

[@pedroguerrero3862]

Honesty I'm not shock or surprise that the first story happened, the Russian plane industry is filled with horrible events like this. Two similar events are Flight 821 and Flight 593. Flight 821, the pilot was completely drunk and on Flight 592, the pilot allowed his young boy to fly the plane.

[@OUTTA-TYME88]

There was another 1 where a 14-year-old was it allowed to fly the plane Because his father was one of the pilots. he had both of his kids with him and both him and his kids died when the plane crashed leaving his wife a widow and childless.

[@DoNkEy_LoVE]

That 1 wife put visine in her husband's water or tea or something. And it got in extremely sick for like, a week. So then she waited a couple months now that she knew that it worked. And the next time she did it. She put like a whole bottle of visine and his drink, and he died in extruciating death. And She tried to say he felld down the steps But really, she had pushed him down the steps after he was dead.

[@greedlike]

A cheating spouse would drive me insane as well.

[@aleksandarkirik6978]

Why were they even keeping the rotten potatoes? As soon as something starts to rot, you throw it away. 🤔

[@katakovacs2066]

It' probably an unpopular opinion but i rather sympatized with Steffan than Gregory who he killed or his wife. He was betrayed and went through the worst and most disgusting cheating anyone ever could go through. He basically lost everything and was humiliated. A man who lost everything is the most dangerous man after all. It's easy to judge his action but who can say any of us in the same situation whouldn't do something crazy like that? It's also crazy how the pilot in the first story got 15 years (and i heard he only had to serve half of it) and he killed 70 people because he was bored yet Steffan got life in prison becaus he killed his 1 friend who betrayed him and f%cked his wife

[@gnarlynikki]

I was married and my husband and I worked at the same place (don’t recommend). He started a relationship with a married woman that we both worked with. Everyone found out & I was so humiliated. I kicked him out of our apartment and found a different job. Now I’m with the love of my life. Know your worth & move on.

I? I can say I would not become a murderer and go to jail forever over being cheated on, that is insane, you would just need to break up and get with someone else , you need to be very sick in the head for murder to be your go to

[@katakovacs2066]

Sure sure, don't know about you but this was the worst of cheating, like nothing can top this. It's really easy to say you just need a break up and it wouldn't affect you hard when it's not happening to you but a lot of people would be destroyed by something like this and when that happens murder is not an uncommon thing@@MayMay-20000

Yeah even though the last story the woman cheated on her husband with her husband's best friend that in no way means the guy deserve to have his head chopped off. Maybe he should have gotten punched in the face and she should have gotten cussed out and lost everything in the divorce but what he ended up doing was too far. But hell it seems like he had a psychotic break.

I hate to admit it but I did and changed my life but I had A dog And I would only go by there to pick him up and take him with me. But there would be some nights that he would be there overnight and I remember coming home one time and the potatoes II don't know how long They had been town there, but they have grown sprouts long enough to start tearing up the countertop, put it that way, and that horrifies we didn't. Know that they were probably also letting off the toxic. They could Have kill my dog. I thought I would Deserved It if they killed me but hayden it but luckily I guess apartment is ventilated enough

Yup and I don't think it's much about the guys ex wife as it is his supposed "best friend" betraying him for his own woman. It doesn't get any lower than that from a "best friend" there are so many women out there why would you go for your supposed "best friend's" wife. Very weird and he kinda had it coming tbh, I personally probably wouldn't do it because I don't wanna spend life in prison, but I would definitely fantasize about it.
