Chris was in the Navy. He and his friend tied their boat to a yellow buoy -- anyone with any basic training in seamanship knows a yellow buoy means the zone they are in is hazardous and to stay away (this includes dangerous submerged structures). Suing the power plant is absolutely ridiculous. He's lucky he's alive given his foolishness.
@pambrown8692o Жыл бұрын
I think the first guy who ignored the guardrail when he went to see the volcano 🌋 in Hawaii was the one in the Navy. It doesn’t really matter though. Mr. Ballen said that Chris, and his friend Robert(story #2) had been diving together all their lives. Which would mean they knew what the yellow buoy meant. They looked at each other decided not to find out what was written on the buoy, and went diving down to the underwater structure anyways. hey deliberately ignored reading what the first There was a 2nd warning sign(mesh covered opening) that was clearly more serious than the first one. Instead of being adults about it they again made the decision that they’d ignore the signs, and proceed past the mesh covered opening into the unknown. This happened in 2015. All they had to do was Sw back to their boat, get on their smartphones, and find out what those underwater structures were. The actual arrogance, and audacity a person has to have to sue the company whose warning signs YOU intentionally ignored not once, but twice. And 👐🏽surprise surprise👐🏽 you almost died because these warning signs weren’t just decorations, but actual signs trying to keep people from being total dumb fuks. This dude is fuk!ng arrogant. What a twatwaffle.

My anxiety usually reduces once I notice that the story is still being told through the perspective of the person in the situation. Specifically when they are alone and we're being told details of their thoughts and actions. Because the only way we could know about these details is if the person survived to tell the tale. Unless there were recordings found to give a good idea of what had happened. But usually hearing phrases like "they realized/realizing they, they thought/they were thinking, their reaction, they reacted, etc" or any other specific details that the person was feeling/thinking about, could only be told from their perspective. Edit: I accidentally pressed enter before I finished writing.

the story is not clear at all, its hard to find good information about it, the company says he removed the mesh and he swam intentionally into the intake pipe but Blake and Le Cun don't mention any of it, they say they swam near does buildings when they felt the current and for one of them, it was too late to get out. the only warning was that buoy that said "stay 100 feet away" there was no sign stating does structures underwater are deadly dangerous. the reason for suing could also be to prevent this from happening again, this was the second time this happened. Florida Power and Light has not a good reputation, they had over 40 lawsuits and a lot of deadly incidents.

Glad the mask on the diver helped. Perhaps because the third squid couldn't bite into his flesh, it signaled to the others that this "prey" isn't food or able to be bitten, maybe thinking that he just had tough skin that couldn't allow them to reach flesh, but it was just the mask.

Disney made a big payout to a family that lost their child after they went into water that had a sign saying not to go in it but didn't warn of deadly predators in the water. Ballen did another story of a group of kids who explored a floating deck that turned out to be infested with a certain type of spider, as they were told to stay away but not why. Even in the story here, the company could've put warning signs around the underwater structure.

People also forget how often we learned from observing the wildlife and land around us where we are trying to survive. For blowfish, I’m willing to bet that if there is another predator out there that would eat it (in or out of the water, although I’m not saying that I know anything about that - in fact I wouldn’t be surprised if they have none - but maybe if a bird decided to try and eat a dead one?) that whoever decided they were gonna try used them as a cue. Or yeah it could have been anything, it’s just lessons I’ve been taught. I live in the middle of nowhere in the subarctic and am super interested in learning to live off the land as much as I can but I have to really listen to everyone’s stories and teachings. So many are about observing the things around you and going from there. I find we lose that narrative a lot of the time and focus on humans alone.

I have thalassophobia. A lot of people think it’s just fear of sea creatures, but it’s really fear of deep, open water (sometimes as well as creatures or what might be in it). While I’m naturally afraid of predatory/dangerous creatures, my actual fear is just of the depth and vastness of open water. I’m terrified of how deep it may go, of sinking into “holes” or deeper areas that may be there unbeknownst to me, and of unknowingly being pulled further from land. This fear developed over time and now I won’t go near open water. I also have a similar fear of space (outer space) and the vastness and darkness of that. Needless to say, I also stay away from going into outer space 🪐 😂

To be fair, the power plant (or it's constructors at the very least) does bare some of the responsibility for not securing the structure in a way that makes it so a random diver can't easily gain access, as they were able to here. Sure there was a warning on the single buoy, but they can't disregard the possibility of someone not seeing it or associating it with the structure. It can be argued that not having clear warnings on the structure itself at least identifying what it is, and at the very least not having the mesh covering the openings secured in place in a way that they can't just be easily pulled aside is negligence on behalf of the operating body of the power plant/whoever was hired to construct/maintain the structures themselves. So while I'm not in any way saying the divers weren't at fault, nor that they weren't playing stupid games to win stupid prizes, from a legal standpoint it's on the owners to make blatant hazards clear to those unknowing and to put reasonable safety measures (I would argue that a mesh grate that isn't fixed to anything and could easily be pulled aside doesn't fit that criteria) in place to avoid such accidents. So while you might find such a lawsuit ridiculous, there definitely seems to be merit to it based on what limited information is given in this video if for no other reason than to make sure nothing like what happened to them can happen to anyone else.

And while the mesh was on all sides and the openings were too big for their bodies to make a seal, it still reminded me of this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d6uklamexKnOdWQ.html Everyone should be extremely careful about diving near drains, mesh, grates, etc. Both of these guys need to reevaluate their diving knowledge. Doing stupid things like this could not only result in their own death, but also the death of their friend or possibly one or more rescue workers.

Reminds me of that kid in another video who jumped a fence and ignored a sign on some cliffs while vacationing in Hawaii. Spoiler: he died. His mother petitioned the county or local goverment to put a grate on the hole that sucked him in and out to sea. They replied that he should have stopped by the fence and read the sign and realised he didn't know better than the locals who put up those and respect the power of nature.

@@pettersaethre you shouldn't just open any door even if it doesn't have a lock. Especially since they did see the sign but were too lazy to get near and actually read it. I actually think they intentionally didn't read it or they did read it but curiosity took over. People know not to just enter anywhere. Whatever you're saying is just entitlement because just like the diver you just chose to ignore something because you believe you're entitled to not follow signs, rules and closed doors. Only in the US people feel entitled to sue anyone because they're mad their privilege didn't work out. Like people suing McDonald's over hotcoffee or the woman putting an animal in a microwave. In the rest of the world it's assumed people have basic knowledge. In the US they probably accept that stupidity is an acceptable thing instead lettingpeople live with the comsequen.

I'm willing to bet that the squid stopped attacking him in the final story because they were astounded that not only were they not seeming to damage the strange creature they were attacking, it was also able to actually fight back against two of them. They likely had never encountered such resistance before.
