These are the kinds of friends we all need in our lives ❤

They genuinely look like a very good , nice well raised group of guys . RIP blake

The EMT kid who talked about being sad that blake was alone at night then he retrieved the poles from blakes body the next day.. he is such a sweet, vulnerable soul. Makes me cry.

This group did everything right and they were so prepared, but disaster still found them. Life is so fragile. I'm glad this band of brothers were together, and I hope that those of them who remain are still close. Many blessings to them.

I remember this story years ago. What a nightmare these guys went through. And the love of true friends fighting for their survival with everything they have.

God bless the medical team that fought their way to get there to help❤

The classic helicopter that shows up then flies away 😂

This was such an emotional, heartbreaking and ultimately uplifting rescue Ive ever seen. Cant imagine the 48 hrs of pain and fear after you’ve already lost your best friend. A great group of guys pulled together and did everything they could save Sam. Losing Blake had already broken their hearts and definitely had Angels watching over them. I don’t think they did anythings wrong either. The wrath of nature is unforgiving, no matter how much planning and practicing you do. They did not go in half hazard and were experienced in this kind of skiing. Still so terrifying… RIP Blake I hope your baby made it safe into the world and carried out your legacy through the years ❤️‍🩹

Man all I got to say is, putting yourself in these situations must be one helluva adrenaline rush! I could NEVER! My common sense just won't let me. At least these guys have beacons. Damn what a tear jerker this one is! 😢

Great group of friends that worked as a real team! Outstanding. Its so sad that going to have some fun ended so horrific. Rip Blake!❤

It's good to see the group had covered all bases incase of emergency. They all had beacons, they had a good camp set up, they had snowmobiles and phones. This brought a hopeless situation up to dire. Even with all that, they still lost a friend. Heart breaking. RIP Blake.

Chris is a Hero he was The Medic and The Leader, his a Doctor you can really trust

You have an amazing friend group. There are people who wouldn't have gone back up there.❤

Bloke who played Matt was gorgeous ❤

Wow this was an amazing and heartbreaking episode.

A VERY touching story. Thank you for sharing

I thought when they left to go back to the snowmobiles, it showed keys on the table and i was like NOOOO THE KEYS lol but yeah holy Christ this is heartbreaking. Rip Blake. So horrible he never met his kid.

Man. Thank God 4 KZfaq🙏 A lovely learning platform

Thank you for sharing how fragile life is.

If only they had left that envelope unpushed. These programmes are excellent, so well acted and narrated.

This story brought me to tears, so heartbreaking.

I've yet to see an episode that hasn't stirred deep inner emotions and a feeling that I'm apart of these incredible life and death truly unimaginable stories !

Wow this episode had me sobbing wheh blake died then the part where they got back to basecamp and said how sad they were that blake was alone in the dark. 😢😢😢😢

These are real men !! Amazing men who know real love ❤️ God bless Blake’s soul 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️

This is what happened in Dyatlov Pass - an avalanche (although so many people speculate about conspiracy instead of using these situations to teach caution)

This was an amazing story 😢

Such a sad heartbreaking story😢 You know the danger that you face expecially in doing certain things but you are always hopeful for a good outcome, which unfortunately is not always going to happen.

I’ll never ski, when I was a kid one neighbor died skiing in Austria in Europe, I think it was similar to this

My heart was in my mouth the whole time 😨 Rest well Blake.😢 Btw,superb acting.

I remember this story years ago. These guys endured a nightmare and the love of your buddies trying to save each others lives with everything they had. So tragic and sad they lost one but saved Sam against all the odds. I’ve been in a similar situation with my femur snapped in half. When I woke up in hospital my foot was just below my knee. The swelling of the muscles pulled the broken bones up side by side. I had a 5 % chance of surviving from this injury as well as most of the bones in my body being broken, blood loss and severe head and organ trauma. They had to cut pieces of my skull off to allow the brain to swell. When I finally pulled through the worst of it they flew me to another hospital, strapped me to a Gurnee, hooked my foot to a machine and slowly over 3 days pulled my foot stretching my leg to full length as I screamed in pain slipping in and out of consciousness before surgically reattaching my femur bone with rods, plate and screws. I got help immediately after my accident and barely survived and this guy Sam had to rot away for days before getting to a hospital. What a fighter. That would if killed a lesser man for sure. He has a great wife to stand by him through this. Many women would of left that problem in the wind. And such a Good group of guys. What a story.

If you go to isolated areas to go skiing, etc. and people can’t reach you. It costs a few bucks to rent a beacon/ satellite phone.

Having something with background of EMT knowledge was a good thing profound program

Rip Balyke❤

Bro when they pulled the boot off I felt dizzy bless them all

It's too bad the helicopter pilot couldn't lower a basket, thereby saving time. Thk God the helicopter could land. Prayers for all 🙏

Omg this man is incredible 🎉

I feel so bad for the EMT kid having to go back up there. I actually think he should’ve stayed behind since he was the one with the medical experience. God bless them all.

I don't understand why people deliberately climb a mountain that has the potential of an avalanche. (that can be very deadly) It would be kind of like buying a Vehicle that has intermittent break failure. You don't know when or where they will fail. Who would drive a vehicle like that?

RIP BLAKE!!!!

No journey is long with good friends!

GOD BLESS THESE GUYS ; SO DEVOTED TO EACH OTHER🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😢🌈

Rescue guys are amazing beautiful people...

We just had 27 year old and a newly appointed captain in CAF and his fiancé died in avalanche in Switzerland.

Aww man I'm so sorry RIP Blake 💔

Does anyone know how Blake’s wife and baby are doing?

This is one of those situations where lack of preparedness would've probably ended two lives, rather than just the one. Chris being a paramedic helped profoundly. I feel very sad for Matt's family and Blake.

Dude really left the guy who was buried to deal with a broken leg. They all should have kept digging and he should have done cpr as soon as they got him out.

"There was 2 seconds left and then just a soft landing" - that's what our economy needs

Unlike the people in most episodes of this show, these guys were actually prepared, and did everything right. I’ve watched enough of these by now to know that when a member of a group isn’t part of the narration, and when other members start talking about that persen in the past tense, it means they’re dead. So I knew just a few minutes into this episode that Blake didn’t survive. Knowing that made me tear up when he announced that he was going to be a dad. His poor wife, and the child who never knew their father. Thank God for the friends who did all the right things so Sam could go home to his wife and children.

❤😢❤ R.I.P BLAKE ❤😢❤

Why not keep snow on the wound instead of under a warm blanket, to keep it from rotting faster.

Best friends

Crazy. To go through the emotions of avalanche to your friend dying to your other friend needing serious help and going to die. Horrific. How do you even process that

If they think they were so good, then they should not make a comparison to others, because they should know that it can happen to the best and most capable people

The guy said they were making good solid judgments but a couple minutes later said they were taking an unconscious risk by going higher up the mountain.

Experiencin an Avalanche is unnervin, even from a viewer POV

Extremely stressful situation. They did everything right. But when things went wrong in similar critical incidents these things may have helped, I’m no expert, but.. After avalanche speed to get blake breathing rREAL determination was needed FAST. Concentrate on Blake because he wasn’t breathing. Should they have tourniquets Sams leg? To stop bleeding or would he have lost leg because no circulation. Think ahead-take ski poles. Then clean Sam’s leg at tent. Could have carried skis up to get poles so didn’t have to walk down next day. Could have got poles at night by following footsteps up at night to save time in the morning. Helicopter should have dropped pain killers, dressings and antibiotics for EMT to give-anyone can give Panadol & antibiotics-but EMT can surely give injections? What about proper cleaning and dressing of wounded leg, splinting properly? I think you have to ask the’what ifs’ Have plan B in case A doesn’t work. Sadly: 1-couldn’t get Blake breathing 2-couldn’t clean, splint and dress Sam’s leg or give him pain relief 3-couldn’t get help to him 4-Couldn’t get him to help. However They certainly did try their very best to revive Blake and obviously it wasn’t possible. They did their very best for Sam and it was a success. I am sorry about what happened to really great guys. I can’t imagine what it was like getting down after the shock of Blake dying. We don’t know why things happen, it’s a mystery of life that we all deal with. God bless you all.

I don’t understand why they don’t drop off food, water and medical supplies off in these circumstances when they can’t land. Anybody enlighten me?

if you enjoy these you HAVE to check out the film "Touching the void" produced by the same team in the same style. Saw it at the cinema when it was released - amazing.

What happened to Blake's body afterwards? 🤔🤔 Is his body still lying in the snow? 🤔🤔

I've never had any criticism for this show before but those pumps on the chest are entirely inadequate.

Rip Blake

I really hope that the actual CPR was done better than in this film depiction.

i 😢 a lot for Blake n the suffering of hod best friend

Blake was having a baby on way. Omg. Rip, hopefully the other friends took that kid under their wings

22.15 it is TERRI loosing a friend like this.........

I'm surprised he didn't get gain green lucky man

I was about to say, where's the beacon and probe use?! I still have a beacon from back then I think

I know definitely, that if I ever decide to go on another long adventure in the woods or actually anywhere that mother nature is in charge I will have a satellite phone for sure

Not one of these 5 guys having a satellite phone is almost criminal

Well would have been nice to know if they all remained friends after 2 still live in the same state at least I would imagine they remain friends

I feel sorry for the guy who lost his life........

What I wanna know is what exactly happened to Sams leg for it to be fractured like that

I just wanna be there ilike slot the ace the mountains

I feel bad for Blake

watching sam do that to his leg as a kid was a mistake lol. i still have the memory of it to this day.

Alcohol & dangerous circumstances don’t mix

crazy how chris decided to become a doctor

I guess they were not on their A game lol😂😂 We know the risk for an avalanche but to hell with that we are stoked lol 🤣🤣 Did you get what you wanted?

Have they decided to ski down a mountain in the wilderness??? How is that exciting or fun? The apres ski is rough…an avalanche! Apres ski in a nice ski lodge, at least you could have a nice cup of cocoa warming up by a fireplace. A ski lodge would’ve had groomed & well maintained ski slopes.

AVALANCHE!!!!!!!!

This is the first I shouldn't be alive where they deserve to live through this ordeal

Blake should have been at home with his pregnant wife on New Years in the first place...

Guy said he would be a dad and died 😢 destiny

I’m surprised the helicopter isn’t aloud to drop a med pack maybe to give them antibiotics and a turn a kit

Shoaib ap Sojao Jan me do Video dhekti hu Fir Sojaugi mera Tabyat tik Nahi or Ap Aram karo ok I love you so much mery Jaan Hamesha 🙏😭💵

Would hv been nice to see Blakes body retreived and handed to his family

They would have been fine had they just been riding snowboards.

They said they weren’t in offices, so why did they not carry flares?

Lot's of yee-haw!

😢

Stay away fr Montana

Sam is a lie lol he didn't twist his leg 180 degrees.

Te can si drink is Arizona ice te

Please upload in urdu language too

Was it worth it?

you being witty? why you crying when you see a video on YT

Going back for ski poles also proves how inexperienced these guy are. Also sounds they like they have zero knowledge on how to start a 2 stroke motor.. most likely any motor tho.

The reenactment in this episode was poor. Didn't convey any urgency when trying to dig out and then revive their friend.
