So sad the way he passed away. He seemed like a very nice young man. RIP.

This poor man. To live such a short life, and under this condition. Must have been so tough, physically and mentally. I hope and pray he has been happy and at peace since he left this cruel World ♥

Oh man he passed so young. 😢

He died so young. My only son is autistic, he has been fascinated with Robert Wadlow since he was a very young child. So glad you did this.

I remember reading about him, probably in the Guinness Book of World Records. It’s unbelievable he died the same age as my youngest is now.😢

He was a giant.

He's not of this world...R.I.P.

Less than 5 years later penicillin was developed and other antibiotics came along and he never would have died from that skin infection.

Amazing man. Peace be with you

Life must have been hard for him,l hope he is somewhere beautiful

Rip sir 🙏🏼 😢

❤ I loved the way you narrated his whole life in a very resepectful way. Very succinct. ❤

Wow I didn’t realize he was so young when he passed away

"22!" OMG! He passed away so young!!😢🙏 I like that picture with the sign "that's me"😂😂 He looked like a real gentle GIANT 👍😁🌹😊RIP

Only 22!! What a tragedy. He seemed like a really good person.

A towering of a young man, must have been tough on him having to deal with all the attention he was getting for not being "NORMAL" . May he rest in peace in the Lord's house, may bless him, guide him, lead him and comfort him.with his kindness and Love. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen ! 🙏🕊️❤️

Poor boy, I always felt so sorry for him. His life was short, but I believe he was well loved by his family and had enjoyment while he lived.

His height will probably never be equalled or exceeded in the modern world, since the condition he had can now be treated medically.

There was a guy in my high school that had this. He was mean and foul. He seemed to hate everything and everyone. He said the doctors told him he would never stop growing and that he would die young. He was in my gym class. He was not a guy you would want to get on his bad side. Evil. Never found out what happened to him after graduation.

Been fascinated by Waldo ever since i was a kid. I've also always felt sorry for him. Just an amazing life story. RIP and Thanks, Ed!

How Tragic For Poor Robert Wadlow...A Blister Stole His Life At A Heart-Breaking Young Age Of 22 Years Old. I Remember "His Chair" At Niagara Falls. Thank You.

He seemed like a nice man Too bad he died so young RIP to the true Giant 😔

Shame that people had to kick him to see if he was wearing stilts.

Rest peacefully Robert,there is a shoe store in Alton that has his shoes on display! Those would be some pretty big shoes to fill! I am 5 ft. He could of squished me😮

Robert Wadlow is really well known celebrity to me a native from missouri .

God bless the Alton giant. Amen

I like your videos and glad I got to see you

First read about jim when i was a kid in book of world records, 1972 edition. RIP 🙏🙏

🤔 So it is possible a long time ago people were giants like him. Fascinating!

Amazing ❤

Just to think life must have been hell for him, ceiling fans. special clothes and shoes had to be made and transportation, just to name a few things.

A real life giant!! Compared to me, i would've been slightly shorter (I'm around 6 foot tall, I'm taller than my mom)

He would have been an NBA legend if he would have lived longer playing for the Celtics or Lakers.

To young to die. Rest in peace Robert 💐 💐

Awww what a shame he passed away so young

It was hard for him to walk.😥😥😥☺️

And people say giants aren’t real

Giants suffered so much more than normal sized human beings. My husband and I knew a family that has a giant son. He was actually 2 months premature but grew to be 7’1.

May He Be Guided By Eternal Light Lord Hear My Prayers

RIP Robert

Awe so young he died

My house is a mile away from his birthplace and was built 30 years before he was born.

Very sad😢

WOW 😳 They kicked 🦵 him to call him out for faking 💥 Karens of the Early 1900s Geez 🙄

He looked frail, but its been well documented that he was extremely strong and could easily rip a car door off if he wanted to, and lift 200 pound men like they were a bag of groceries.. But he was a gentle giant...

R.I.P

A shame-he seems like such a nice guy

Rest in peace dude 😎

His was a tuff life . RIP

RIP you gentle giant ❤.

To big a heart for this harsh world.

Died from a heel blister. Stunningly mythic. How Achilles of him.

It's crazy how people just don't take care of their wounds and die from infections.📡🇺🇸👽 Wow 22. Dang.

I was born in Alton in 1962. Bad place to live today.

💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💫

Rest in peace

His shoes are on display at pike place market in Seattle, they are huge

He was kind and intelligent yet, ended up in a circus! What a shame

Poor man.

This is really depressing. He died so early. I feel like he would’ve had a better life if doctors were more interested in improving his life, the mobility of his legs. Likely he would have reduced chance of injury, so it’s sad to know a community did not have any interest in providing him a good life. I guess you could blame the family, but this type of knowledge was uncommon. Shame. Rest In Peace my dude. I bet there were quite a few difficult moments. Ain’t much size comparison in Heaven.

Too much for his heart

you know when your friend or sibling takes something from you and holds it up so you cant reach it.. yeah

Dude had some serious testosterone going on

In 2024 Robert wadlow would be 23 years old if he was alive in 2024

Interesting!!!

Could hypertrophia of the pituitary gland be more common in the past confirming giants??

MY Father, has a photo with him ❤

Before antibiotics... risky life. I hope his life on earth was good

Me: H ow did he die? Roberts descendants: Oh, a blister.

That's the long and short of it

Alton is my hometown. There is a statue of him in upper Alton by the dental school.

I have the same problem I’m 19 feet tall n still growing

Many among the Philistine's of ancient times were very tall and huge. Goliath , who David killed with a sling and stone was at the very least 9 feet 6 inches and possibly was over 10 foot tall.

Proof giants are real

WOW

Yet people insist Giants don't exist

He must have had really super good aim when peeing in the toilet. 😂

Imagine him being in front of you in a concert 😂

❤

I also have stood next to his statue in the ESB lobby.

😢

Imagine him on your basketball team or as a goalkeeper

Now to me he is considered a giant. Not a culture of people like some say existed

Sad

Even Shaquille O'Neil looked small next to him. 🏀

Oh he was special he was..

This dude is awesome! He was able to meet the fattest person alive when he was still alive.

Woww,that is tall.😮👍 👍 👍

Those are not Giants of Lore, they are uncoordinated misfits, not like legends.

The tallest person in recorded history was Goliath of Gath 9’6”

HAMLEYS TOY STORE,HAD LIFE SIZE WAX WORK OF HIM IN BIRMINGHAM UK, IN LATE 80,S

Size 37 😮 i try finding giants to see what my sons gonna go thru hes projected to be 7ft 3 to 7ft 8. Give or take some they always sd thats jist his projected 😮 37 😢

I bet his dad stopped yelling at him at some point. Otherwise dad may have got hammered into ground like a nail on a wood plank. 😂

He was related to my cousins on their daddy side.

Its like his life was sped up by his condition i know he must have gotten tired of being stared at everywhere he went and not be able to do some normal things that everyone else enjoyed doing i hate he died so soon his life was just about to begin.

Poor bloke

This is the man that I was referring to as a giant 8 feet 8 inches, his body metabolism is not normal ..now could he be a DNA of the Nephlim, in Iraq they found a cadaver that was over 9 feet in height .

Tnis is amazing. Goliath of Gath was 9 feet. 9 inches. Just Amazing The GOOD Book of books. Recorded history. Begs to differ ! I believe the KJV. any day thur Eternity JulieKilburn

How long was it?

One of the last of the nephilim .🤔
