I love how Charlie's videos are so structural that something as small as his cat walking in is a huge event

Aww, I remember when Charlie’s cat literally fit in his palm. Good to see how big she’s grown!

I feel so terrible for the father... Imagine losing your child and it just gets discarded like a shoplifting charge.

That sentencing was basically "I know that an innocent person has died and you have other criminal charges stacking up but here's a slap on the wrist. Oh, and if you're well behaved in prison then you'll probably do much less". No wonder the father says it was "unresolved". Because there's really no resolve for this.

That bit where it mentioned him putting the needle into his kneecap unlocked a new fear in my head. That's some absolute wild shit

it's really hard to listen to a parent discuss their child's death. i cannot imagine how terrible it must be to lose a child.

I think another big testament to Oki's documentary making skills is the fact the family was willing to talk to him. You see award winning film documentary directors get snubbed by victims' families because of their insensitive approach to the crimes involved. Knowing that the family are happy to work with a documentary maker says a lot about the behind the scenes discussions, and the intent of the documentary maker.

seeing askia's father talking about losing his son actually made me cry, i feel so bad for his family :(

There is something super sketchy about a guy who is known for wearing a full fire proof suit having a fire in his home. Probably a coincidence but that alone makes me question whether it was an accident.

i am shocked that this guy got away with building an actual death maze under his house even though the only signs he brought up that he even remotely tried to help (the gas canisters that just "disappeared") were never confirmed

I feel so sorry for the dad, you can tell by looking at his eyes that he is in deep pain. A parent should never have to bury their own child. Has to be soul-crushing

"Someone must've walked off with them" His tone when he said that is the same tone cartoon characters have when they tell a lie.

I could imagine a scenario where Askia was murdered and the house was burned to cover it up. Lying about the canisters means he has something to hide, and walking into a negligence-causing-death scenario seems like the best way out of a murder charge.

Spoiler alert but the most heartbreaking part for me was when Askia's dad said: "You know what's peculiar? That judge was an elected judge. And I voted for her." It wrecks me every time I think about it.

I knew this guy. he was a nuisance in the Phone Loosers OF America community specifically the Snowplow Show. He would always leave weird voicemails on the show that were crazy conspiracys. Then it was silent and a few weeks later someone found the news article.

I can’t decide if I want to believe he killed this kid out of delusion, or if he’s one of those people who was so invested in how “criminally intelligent” they are that they try and see if they could get away with murder

NO WAY MY DAD HAS BEEN TO THAT HOUSE. My dad worked in Montgomery County as an arborist and that was either the neighbor by his client or his client. Something like that- but I remember him telling me this EXACT story and having troubles working in the area because of this guy and his tunnel.

13:03 "It's crazy what you can ignore when you have that much respect for someone..." Perfectly explaining every stan... like ever.

It's amazing how big the cat got. Feels like Charlie JUST got him.

Damn Oki's might be the first of this type of content where most of the footage is original and custom made and stuff, interviews from himself, footage at the house w in person narration, so cool

This is such a sad story. Askia was definitely murdered by Daniel. It shows the serious lengths of how bad mental illness can get as well. I hope Askia is resting easy.

i struggled for around 3 months with extremely distressing paranoid delusions while i was switching medications when i was 15 and it was absolute hell. delusions like beckwitt's can be so immensely distressing however i think it's absolutely outrageous that he didn't get help for these delusions and i completely agree that it was a murder. may askia rest in peace.

Daniel was a regular caller into the Snow Plow Show, a prank call show here on YT I've been listening to for years. The guy who runs the show, Brad, actually gave a short interview in this vid but Charlie happened to not show any of it. I remember hearing Daniel leave voicemails where he would say weird stuff, and then hearing Brad mention this situation after it started to unfold, but he never had any real details. Finding out about the whole situation through this video was crazy. Daniel actually gave Brad a prank idea where he calls people and tells them he's been digging tunnels throughout the neighborhood, and he's under their house right now for various reasons lol.

That fake crying was disgusting. He's clearly faking it and has no remorse. Sickening.

He couldve used all that money to legitimately create a well built underground bunker

Appreciate the hell out of that prepping spiel. There's absolutely rational and responsible ways to prep for some kind of disaster. People do it all the time for natural disasters and the same ideas can be applied to other scenarios without much change in the supply list. Just don't forget to stock a little extra so you help others too.

Can always count on someone in charlies chat to be unhinged

Daniel beckwith was so paranoid that he made askia put on a blindfold whenever he was brought through the house into the basement. He was led through the hoarding maze that was setup so that if you didn't know the way out it would literally take forever. When the fire broke out the smoke was super heavy so he had to crawl through the maze of junk which often purposely led to dead ends. Daniel attempted to rescue Askia by calling his name and screaming for him to get out but the fire was spreading so fast that Daniel ran out of the house. Askia eventually made it to a basement window but discovered there were bars on it that prevented him from escaping the flames so he stood there screaming for help then fell backwards into the fire and died a horrible death.

I want a bunker. Not for doomsday prepping but because it would be cool to have a secret hideout.

You’re so kind to the people you respect. You shit on the people you don’t, without second guessing it. I respect it and you dude

Take a shot every time Charlie says “bulletproof vest”

That rant at the end about his sentencing is true. There are so many people that need to receive punishment, but for some reason don't get full sentencing.

The most ironic thing about this crime is the death of that man revealed the location and existence of the bunker to everyone.

I remember this vividly from Blab. It was wild how a lot of people in the Blab community celebrated Daniels existence (3alarmlampscooter) because he was so smart & connected to the Martin Shkreli streams. People would idolize this man and convince Askia that he was an intelligent person who was almost 'God-like'. It was ridiculous. People were so into the idea of him building tunnels and being 'as smart as Martin'. I'm telling it like it is, I witnessed him show his explosives and talk about ideas of building tunnels to access underneath government places to bomb them or monitor them. He showed his tunnels several times in streams and coerced people to believe a grandiose identity. He is a very dangerous man and I'm very concerned that he managed to get away with what he has done to Askia & the motives behind his actions were close to terrorism, but now he is a free man. Sad world & RIP Askia & big love to anyone in the Blab community affected by this. - Elethal

So you’re telling me he essentially tried to build a “vault” nuclear bunker underneath his home in Bethesda

Charlie giving chat the smackdown for being idiotic is my favorite part of these stream segments

One of the underground tunnels had a secret locked room that Daniel didn't want Askia to go into. The fire marshal declared the tunnels unfit to enter, so they haven't been investigated. But I would like to know what's hidden in that room.

11:32 exhibit a: charlie's brain shrinks by 30% immediately upon engagement with twitch chat

If i remeber this correctly he would blindfold the person, have them walk through a fake maze, up and down stairs, while also repeatidly spinning them in a circle. This would make it impossible to find an exit in an emergency.

I remember hearing about this through a KZfaq channel called Mr. Ballen. The story is very tragic, and the kid definitely didn’t deserve to die.

"Might be multipurpose bunkers, also work for general apocalypse scenarios" "Whoabublububbub" Fucking killing me such a great reaction

Nah but imagine having a dope ass bunker to chill in Like a gaming bunker

11:27 Charlie realises discussion is senseless.

Oki is loved by everyone even Charlie's cat

Another thing that doesn't get mentioned much. Is the size of the fire itself. Autopsies say he was burned from head to toe. Even his father said he was "Practically Cooked!" Yet In the documentary, the firefighters were able to put out the flame with a few sprays of water?

Charlie during an apocalypse: I probably shouldn't have made fun of bunker guy.

That "oh man I could have saved him I was so close" sent chills done my flipping spine

I think having a bunker with food and supplies ready at any moment is smart in case of anything happens but it really depends on how you go about doing it. If i had the money i would do it i think it would be a cool idea

15:59 “How could anyone watch this, and not think it was a murder?” Some people aren’t too bright Charlie.

Charlie's constant astonishment at chat's single braincell is always my favorite part of these types of videos

Whats really sad about this is that Askia just want his project to thrive and out of desperation he seeks out help from the wrong person.

Came for the crazy basement stayed for Charlie’s cat lore

Oki's documentaries are magnificent. You can tell the amount of care he puts into his work & his commitment to getting information from primary sources is admirable and should be a standard for documentaries

so hard watching the dad talk because its obvious that he's felt so much pain that it's just numb now

Love how Charlie plugs others when he can! I’m so excited to binge Oki’s stuff!!! It’s right up my alley :)

A bunker is one thing we use to advertise people to have their own bunkers all the time back during the Cold War but an entire maze is way to much lol 😅

When I watched the video I never considered that he never bothered to save him due to his fear of him knowing where his house is, I thought it was just severe neglect for others but that's the level of sociopathy Daniel was at. Askia's dad seems very intelligent and the concern he showed for him seemed very realistic, that he was working for some sketchy rich guy hoping to become rich himself. Truly heartbreaking stuff, Oki makes some of the professional stuff tho.

Okis weird stories, blameitongeorge, Nexpo, and LEMMiNO collabing would make the best video documentary of all time

One other reason to kill that guy, it has happened throughout history, kill the builder so that only one person would know the layout and the location.

You know that mentality is bad when Charlie is struggle to proceed a though after guy said: Those bunkers could be useful for any apocalyptic event

The amount of work and effort Oki puts into his videos is absolutely mind boggling.

Oki always does solid work. I'm glad that this channel introduced me to his documentary content, because it's always an interesting deep-dive.

11:27 Charlie having an aneurism about multipurpose bunkers I love it

3:34 that pause with the face in the background made me laugh quite a lot for some reason

I think Charlie missed a major detail, the basement was filled with trash in a maze like fashion, and the guy was blindfolded when being led through it. The reason he couldn’t find his way out is because it was full of smoke and he was literally trapped in a maze of trash and fire.

Always love when Io makes an appearance

This reminds me of the ancient stories of a lord putting to the sword the builders and architects of their castle so no one else would know the secret passages and details of the construction. I get the same vibe here.

12:25 I agree. Everyone has fears but it becomes extreme when it interferes with daily life

He definitely should've gotten A much longer sentence. That man is a menace to society. RIP Askia

By “not resolved,” the guy, I’m assuming the father, meant that there is no justice in the case-the man still died in a fire, so no conviction of Daniel will bring Askia back. None of the charges pertained to Askia’s death because he voluntarily worked for Daniel and died in an accident, so the guy/father will not get justice for Askia’s avoidable death. Also, screw Daniel. I can’t believe he assigned the blame to Askia for failing to find a window without bars. How can this guy not accept culpability in this death? If this guy didn’t have a hoarder house, Askia could have fled to safety; also, if he didn’t build a pointless bunker under his house, Askia would never have been there. As of now, I can’t exactly say it’s a murder because there is no irrefutable evidence of motive and method, but it was entirely avoidable.

Charlie: "Dick Rocket is such a hype name its just unfortunate in the situation here because it's a super sad story" I never thought i would hear charlie say those words combined into a sentence

Being afraid to fly isn't irrational Charlie. We don't fly, that's a normal fear to have.

I’m so glad you’re covering this video! His fathers words seriously made me cry. RIP Askia

I love OKI. He's criminally under subbed but it is growing slowly but surely.

This dude is beyond crazy. A buzz lightyear to insanity and beyond crazy, and I'm sure he is a big fan of the fallout Bethesda games.

I literally just found his channel last night and subbed because of this story, I feel so sorry for the mother and father 😢, absolutely no justice for that poor boy who only wanted to make a difference a achieve his dreams, I just wish he would have listened to everyone giving him the warning signs

The sound Charlie made at 11:32 absolutely killed me

Charlie realizing his viewers might just be crazy apocalypse peppers is gold.

13:30 Charlie being surprised is quite interesting to me as a latin american, here everyone has bars on their windows because of the insecurity

"I was so close!" *puts his head in his own arms and pretends to cry*

Oki would go through the seven circles of hell just for a 5 minute interview in his video

Not even a hot take, but getting on a plane is one of if not the safest way to travel. It's spooky the first few times but being scared of that is way less rational than preparing for doomsday. I love his takes but the fact that he can't wrap his head around that is the smoothest part of his brain doing the thinking.

The psychopathic trifecta in children: 1. Firestarting, 2. Harming animals and younger children, 3. Later than usual bed wetting.

Charlie's Twitch chat has got to have some of the most clueless people I've ever heard of

15:47 when you miss the bus and you have to go explain it to your mom

psychosis by itself is sad enough for someone to deal with, but when they have a lot of money and power enough to get other people involved is even worse. you can tell from the inside of the house and the behavior on reddit that something was off with this guy.

6:52 don't worry, i didn't think it'd go anywhere either.

kinda crazy watching you cover this, he was my friend in HS I wrestled with him for 3 years, RIP Askia

I am so glad that you and the kitty are getting along so well =)

11:00 Personal opinion: it’s completely rational to be afraid of nuclear bombs and build a bunker. Being afraid of planes is one thing but being afraid of world ending bombs is on whole other league. For most people they have the choice whether they want to go on a airplane and it’s not like a airplane is going crash down on a neighborhood and kill a family, nuclear bombs on the other hand are completely out our control, also nuclear bombs are a very real subtle threat if used in war would end the world. Now the chance of a nuclear attack is super low, but it’s never going to be zero since no country with nuclear weapons is going to completely get rid of them. It’s the whole reason NATO was founded so If the Soviet Union were to attack the U.S would retaliate with nuclear bombs. If I was a super rich person I would have a bunker built just in case so that my loved ones could survive, now I wouldn’t be super paranoid and wear a bulletproof vest but nuclear bombs are really completely out our hands and with tensions between the major powers of the world, it would take one powerful dumb idiot with nothing to lose to send a nuke and end the world Edit: now this guy in the video is a piece of shit and super dumb since the whole point of a bunker it to make sure YOU and hopefully your loved ones are safe and secure, and can’t really have that when everybody knows your location and layout.

This man will definitely re-offend if this case doesn't change. The abuse of animals, absence of empathy & general creepy/menacing behavior like duct taking Askia's eyes.. Seems pre-meditated esp w/ his history & the testimonies of those who grew up with him. RIP Askia, I hope justice if reached someway somehow.

Beckwitt went to my college and lived in the same dorm as me. He was a bit of a odd guy, didn't seem to have many close friends there, but I remember him talking up bitcoin around the time it started. When these stories came out a few years ago, my friends and I were astounded at how insane things got.

Tbh I think Charlie’s take on the nuclear thing would be perfect literally a year ago. Most of the large countries with nuclear capability have literally been threatening to drop nukes the last few months.

just hearing that man’s voice sets my hair on edge. instantly untrustworthy

My brother is a year younger than me and has been preparing our family for any type of event that could potentially cook us. He invested in a 40$ first aid kit, he keeps canned foods and water in his room in the basement, bought a bulk of blankets he keeps put away and is mentally always prepared for something to go down. My family picks on him for it but I know the day we need it will be the day they regret talking all that cash shit. He’s not building tunnels and mapping out the nearest silos but he is prepared and tbh I’d rather be prepared than be dead

I remember finding OKI and binging his channel. His pieces are so incredibly good.

It's fun watching Charlie be disappointed about his twitch chat lmao

charlie got me rethinking conceal and carry w this one

So wholesome how Charlie shouts out the creators he watches regularly on his stream💕💕

Hell yeah I love Oki's channel ❤ he's always so considerate of his interview subjects and the situations themselves. This one in particular I liked how he focused so much Askia as a person. Thanks for highlighting his channel
