most disturbing and what better way to

starve than with a relatively unknown

case that has haunted me for years

[Applause]

Saturday June 14 2008 a Japanese TV

station called television Miyazaki is

running its standard live programming

which on this day was set to feature a

game show like segment in the remote

rice fields of takachi hocho the game

itself was simple competitors stood back

to back on a small wooden stand above

the shallow muddy water below and when

given the queue they would attempt to

shove their opponent into the water

without turning their bodies around in

the end and the one left standing on the

platform would be declared the winner

with a loser being left humiliated in

the mud

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

one goes off without a hitch resulting

in the losing contestant being covered

head to toe in a thick brown sludge with

the whole atmosphere perfectly

encapsulating the craziness and high

energy charm that you would expect from

a Japanese game show made at the time

and so far everything was all in good

fun with this excitement only escalating

as the contestants convinced one of the

show's hosts a man named tasuchi

yanagida to join in on the competition

it took some convincing but eventually

tetsuchi agrees to compete much to the

enjoyment of everyone spectating and

from there the comedy writes itself as

immediately after the round starts it's

apparent that he stood little to no

chance

foreign

instantly losing his balance tasuki

reacts in a split second and dives off

the platform Landing head first into the

muddy water below which causes his body

to fall limp

the water that he had just dove into was

merely six inches deep with the rest

consisting of a thick layer of mud which

his head would strike directly instantly

causing his neck to break and in that

very moment tatsuchi would be

irreversibly paralyzed leaving him

unable to move from the neck down

it was a tragic accident however the

accident itself is far from the most

awful part of this live broadcast with

that coming immediately after unaware of

tesucci's severe injury the crew

believed that he was merely playing a

prank on them and just joking around and

so they left him there face first in the

water and proceeded to shove his face

even deeper and deeper into the mud

splashing even more on top of his head

to rub in the fact that he had lost

[Applause]

come on

they had no idea that during their

Antics hisuchi was in a desperate fight

for survival as in those six inches of

water he was slowly drowning and

completely unable to pick up his head to

breathe this lasts for an excruciatingly

long 15 seconds before they begin to Bob

his head up and down and eventually pull

tasuchi's face out of the water but this

reprieve was short-lived as the

contestants proceed to drop him back

into the mud face first

[Music]

it is so incredibly painful to watch and

made all the more disturbing with the

over-the-top hysterical laughter coming

from everyone around him who are

completely oblivious to the situation in

front of them

finally after what feels like in

eternity tsuchi is hoisted above the

water and the camera switched back to

the main broadcast ending both tesucci's

and the viewers Pain by some stroke of

Good Fortune tsuchi would survive the

ordeal but just barely as it's estimated

that even just a few more seconds in

that mud would have likely led to his

death but thankfully this wasn't the

case and according to his Facebook page

tasuchi has learned to live with his

body-wide paralysis and even went on to

rejoin the show years later in some

capacity ending the century off on

somewhat of a bright spot despite this

otherwise being one of the more

unsettling and appalling broadcast

accidents than I've ever seen

had been in a coma for the previous

on the topic of broadcasts that have

left an impression on my life I would

say none have had more of an emotional

impact than a story run by 60 Minutes

about a man named Donald Herbert the

story starts back in 1995 just four days

after Christmas when a fire broke out in

a home in Buffalo New York in an attempt

to put out the blaze firefighter Donald

Herbert was standing on the roof of the

building when suddenly it gave way as a

result Herbert would fall into the attic

where he would be trapped in the Smoke

unable to breathe he would lay there

without oxygen for six whole minutes

before they finally were able to pull

his body to safety with a whole ordeal

being filmed and shown on local news

somehow Herbert managed to survive this

accident but being without air for that

long caused him to lose most of his

brain function leading to him spending

the following years in a minimally

conscious State unable to eat unable to

breathe and seemingly unable to

understand the world around him

eventually his condition led to him

being placed in a nursing home where a

feeding tube was the only thing keeping

him alive for all intents and purposes

the man was gone but then something

happened on April 20th 2005 a staggering

nine and a half years after his accident

Donald Herbert

woke up

in the nursing home where he had spent

most of the years unresponsive he would

suddenly turn to a nurse and ask for his

wife Linda while displaying signs of

being fully Lucid which prompted the

staff to immediately call his family who

rushed to see him and sure enough

despite Herbert being completely blind

he was not only fully responsive but

recognized almost all of his family

members the moments following were all

captured by cameras and later shown on

an episode of 60 minutes with the

footage being some of the hardest

hitting and emotional that I've

personally ever seen

[Music]

Halloween

quite a while quite a while oh 10.

10 years

the pain in discovering that he had been

gone for 10 years all that time missed

robbed from a man who was just doing his

job is indescribably gut-wrenching but

it's what happens after this footage

that proves to be the most upsetting

part

for nearly 16 hours the newly awakened

man spoke with his family catching up on

every little detail that he had missed

and though from that point on he had

moments going in and out of his Lucidity

his long-term prognosis actually seemed

hopeful throughout the next few weeks

Donald was surrounded by family members

at all times not only to take advantage

of every single second that Herbert was

awake but also for his own safety as

well as sense his Awakening he would

thrash violently in his sleep as if he

still believed he was trapped in that

Blaze and so to ensure his safety at

least one family member would be

stationed with a man while he slept

though on one night one of the family

members on duty had grown too exhausted

to stay any longer and from the first

time since he became Lucid Donald

Herbert was left alone

and during that night he would again

start to thrash violently with Herbert

flailing so hard that he would fall out

of his bed and strike his head against

the floor causing his brain to start

bleeding

from that moment on Donald Herbert would

never become Lucid again and as a result

of his injuries he would pass away one

year later from pneumonia

[Music]

if anyone had ever thought that such a

horrendous thing Could Happen obviously

we would have stopped

The Twilight Zone throughout its lengthy

run this television series provided some

of the most entertaining and memorable

moments in all of Television but for

this section I'm going to be cheating a

little bit as rather than looking at an

event surrounding the show itself I'll

be highlighting the far less memorable

movie version of the series simply named

Twilight Zone The Movie the film was

broken up into multiple sections serving

as sort of an anthology work with three

separate storylines and for the sake of

this story only one section and really

only one scene Bears discussion

the scene was intended to simulate a

battle in the Vietnam War in which the

protagonist a character played by actor

Vic Morrow is attempting to outrun and

attack helicopter and escape the area

the footage was intended to serve as the

section's dramatic conclusion with it

being described as the following in the

scene that served as the original ending

Bill the character portrayed by Maro

stumbles into a deserted Vietnamese

village where he finds two young

Vietnamese children Left Behind when a

U.S army helicopter appears and begins

shooting at them Mara was to take both

children under his arm and Escape out of

the village as the hovering helicopter

destroyed the village with multiple

explosions based on that description

alone shooting the scene was going to be

tricky and likely a very intense process

on the set as all the effects used were

set to be done practically meaning that

they would require an actual helicopter

and real pyrotechnics not only this but

the director a man named John Landis

wanted to use actual child actors for

the scene which given that it was

planned to take place at night and near

explosions was technically illegal in

the state of California

despite the laws in place however Landis

decided to shoot the scene regardless

enlisting seven-year-olds Mika din Lee

and six-year-olds Renee Sheen Yi Chen to

play the roles of the Vietnamese

children and with all the pieces now in

place the cameras began to roll and what

was said to be the stunning conclusion

to this particular section

[Music]

as the scene starts the spectacle of it

all can't be understated as the lighting

setting and the pyrotechnics truly set a

haunting tone however unbeknownst to the

production team there was a major

problem developing

as stated prior all the effects you see

here are real and during the scene there

was an actual helicopter flying just

above the actors which by itself was

already very dangerous and made even

more so due to the pyrotechnics for the

pilots the explosions lodged in the air

created Fireballs in the sky making

things much more difficult to navigate

but those on the ground were never made

aware of this and being pressed to make

things look even more and more intense

the crew decided to double down on their

explosions launching two massive charges

back to back a decision that proved to

be a costly one as the second blast was

so strong that it dislodged the

helicopter's tail prop causing the craft

to spin uncontrollably and within mere

seconds as the cameras roll on the three

actors trudging their way through the

water

foreign

the craft crashes directly on top of

them

somehow everyone on board the helicopter

survived the wreck though those on the

ground weren't so lucky as in one Split

Second the blade of the helicopter

slashed into Vic Morrow and Mika din Lee

instantly decapitating them and as the

craft slammed to the ground Renee Shin

Yi Chen would be crushed beneath its

massive weight

in one frame there were three living

actors and in the next there were none

in retrospect it's not hard to see the

red flags and the dangerous practices

being used by the production team

however following several long legal

battles no one would be found liable in

the deaths of the three actors and

Landis himself would go on to enjoy an

incredibly successful career the

twilight's own film would eventually be

released years later only with a

different ending

oh they're not going to demolish it

there's nobody will come in here I'll

fight force with Force

our final story takes us to the quaint

Countryside of buttsfield England where

a man named Albert Dryden had been

living a fairly solitary life following

his retirement from steelworking Albert

dedicated his life to building up a plot

of land which he had purchased in the

area his main goal was to construct a

bungalow for his elderly mother where

she could live during the Summers while

also planning to build some sort of

Fallout bunker on the same plot but

right from the start he ran into issues

as his permit request to build these

structures on his land was promptly

denied this did not stop Dryden however

as despite the ruling he began his

construction anyway believing he had

found a workaround with the law as

rather than building the house in a

standard manner he instead dug a deep

hole into the ground and began to

construct his home there labeling it as

the home in a hole due to this the home

only stood about eight feet or so above

the ground which Dryden believed made

the construction legal however he was

wrong in his assumption and the building

swiftly caused agreement between the man

and the Derwent Side District Council

with this Rift growing more and more

Amplified as time went on in the midst

of this ordeal a man named Harry

Collinson was appointed as chief of the

council and assigned to handle the case

as his first order of business and he

did so by initially sending dried in a

letter demanding that he stopped

construction and also tear down what he

had already built Dryden however decided

to counter with a court appeal which was

swiftly denied leading to the Court's

final order that the building be

demolished within three months

it was around the same time that the

local news began to document the ongoing

feud between Dryden and the government

and despite the numerous rulings against

him Dryden still refused to give in to

the government's demands and eventually

the council decided to take matters into

their own hands and decided to demolish

the structure themselves so on June 20th

1991 Harry Collinson a demolition team

and a group of police constables

traveled to dryden's property to

demolish the structure before this group

arrived the decision was made that

should drive an attempt to escalate the

situation they were to immediately back

off and come up with another plan to

avoid any sort of physical altercation

at the scene numerous reporters had

already began gathering at the property

line including a cameraman for the BBC

who was there to document the feud in

real time and right from the start he

was clear that Dryden was not going to

be going down without a fight the gate

to his property was chain locked with

Dryden standing behind it pointing to

two letters that he believed proved that

he should be able to keep his structure

intact at least for the time being read

that as an official letter and as an

appealia that an inspector coming out on

this site in five weeks

[Music]

chapter coming out and find this game

well all is I'm asking us to waste five

weeks of the outcome maybe six weeks

it'll take a week after he's been out on

Spotify now but there's nothing in these

documents that affects the legality of

the enforcement notice that the

inspector has confirmed

however dryden's request for more time

was clearly falling on years and

realizing this Dryden began to grow more

and more agitated with his tone quickly

turning far more menacing if you don't

open the gate now

we'll have to we'll obviously have to

take the fence down with the machine so

if you want you can have

some time to remove the fence yourself

to minimize the damage do you want to do

that

any damage that subsequently caused as a

result of you preventing us doing that

will be your liability well you might

not be around

through the outcome of This Disaster now

we've been warned in this thing remember

that well I'm not going to explain but

if you had any sense you would go away

now and be excited

right that's my last word on it if you

show me the letter referring the letter

we will continue to call you where the

letter is at this point based on their

initial plan the crew should have

certainly turned back as he was now

getting to the point that Dryden was

outright threatening Collinson warning

him that if you were to step on his

property that something awful was going

to happen and though this did cause

colinson to take a few steps back He

Still Remains steadfast in carrying out

the task and remained on the edge of the

property line standing his ground even

when Dryden escalates the situation even

further

and what the Lord don't know

[Music]

can you get a shot at this gun

has the two stand face to face Dryden

brandishes his pistol and points it

directly at Collinson and wanted to

ensure the man's combative Behavior was

being documented Collinson asks the

cameraman to get a shot of his gun which

subsequently leads to this moment

a shot at this gun out of it

in an instant with cameras rolling

Dryden fires a shot directly into the

chest of Harry Collinson and then fires

another at the crowd standing before him

leading to things devolving into a

chaotic scene of running and screaming

as more shots were fired from a pistol

the camera crew and Luke North reporter

Tony Belmont ran for cover

we were standing

we were standing watching what was going

on and then a shot rang out the chief

planner fell to the ground and I

I felt a shot in the arm and I've

clearly been shot here in the arm as the

camera crew finally gets to a safe

distance and catches their breath it's

revealed that one of the journalists for

the BBC had been struck in the arm along

with one of the officers though in the

midst of all this Carnage we see no sign

of Harry Collinson as by this point he

was likely still on the ground where he

had originally Fallen dead from his

gunshot wound with his final words being

and he got a shot at this gun out of it

following the incident police would

engage in a standoff with Dryden who

claimed that he had set up booby traps

and landmines along with other

explosives on the property though this

would turn out to be a bluff and

eventually he would be grabbed by

officers and taken into custody where he

would subsequently be tried and

sentenced to life in prison and despite

his actions on that day Albert Dryden

would go on to become somewhat of a

national hero growing a legitimate fan

base for the way he stood up against the

government

Dryden would live out his time in prison

until 2017 when he suffered a massive

stroke to which he was let out on a

compassionate release with a man

eventually passing away just one year

later though his actions that day will

forever be immortalized as one of the

most notorious and darkest moments in

television history
