Top 3 places you CAN'T GO & people who went anyways... | Part 10

i didn't think there was anything more claustrophobia inducing and terrifying than being trapped in an underwater cave that is until i discovered today's top story but before we get into today's stories if you're a fan of the strange dark and mysterious delivered in story format then you've come to the right channel because that's all we do and we upload three four even five times every week

daniel dukes always seemed to have an issue with respecting boundaries in 1996 when daniel was 24 years old he became obsessed with this video game series called ultima which in the early days of pc gaming was this huge hit it was this open world role-playing fantasy game daniel figured out where the creator of this game lived and in the middle of the night in the spring of that year he went to this guy's house and he knocked on the door and when the creator did not answer the door daniel's frustrated and he leaves but comes back a couple hours later and proceeds to break a window climb inside this guy's house he goes upstairs and he goes into one of the bedrooms where he crawls into one of the beds and falls asleep the next morning when the creator got up he finds daniel laying in one of his beds and he starts yelling at him to get out of his house and daniel's totally unfazed and he just wants to sleep in this bed and so the guy calls the police the police show up and daniel's still in bed and so they haul him out and they arrest him a year later daniel would be arrested again for trespassing this time in orlando florida at sea world where daniel had after hours snuck into the manatee exhibit and was swimming around with the manatees because apparently he wanted to play with them but despite his criminal history daniel was far from a hardened criminal in fact many people that knew him described him as a very gentle pot-smoking hippie who just adored animals in 1999 when daniel was 27 he joined a small religious community of people that practiced hari krishna which is a branch of hinduism they get their name from their chant hari krishna that devotees repeat over and over and over again during his stay with this community daniel basically blew off all of his responsibilities he didn't really practice the religion he didn't help out around the temple instead he spent virtually all of his time feeding the wild birds that came to roost inside of the temple's garden and he kept this notebook where he diligently tracked who had come into the garden which bird and how much he had fed them and what they looked like basically all he cared about were these birds after a month of living in the hari krishna community daniel abruptly tells the other worshipers that he's going to be taking a vow of silence and this really confused the others because hari krishna does not encourage its members to take vows of silence this was something daniel was just going to do on his own and so right before he took his vow of silence he also informed them that he would be leaving so he takes his vow of silence he packs his stuff up and he leaves after departing daniel committed a series of petty offenses through south carolina washington texas and then ultimately in florida one of his offenses in florida was stealing a candy bar at a 7-eleven and in court because of his vow of silence that he was still living up to he had to write on a piece of paper that he denied the charge but ultimately he was sent to jail for three days after his stint in this florida jail daniel gets out and he decides he wants to go back to orlando florida and go to the sea world where he had previously jumped into the manatee exhibit and so he was going to go and presumably check out the manatees as well as some other animals when he got to the park he made his way over to the killer whale demonstration where some trainers were going to be swimming around in this enclosure with these massive killer whales and witnesses said they remember seeing daniel in the stands watching the show being just totally transfixed and open-mouthed and fascinated with what he was looking at but apparently daniel's biggest reaction to any part in the show was when the trainers brought out tilikum the biggest killer whale ever held in captivity measuring over 22 feet long and weighing over 12 000 pounds daniel was just totally taken with tilikum so that night after the park shut down and everyone went home daniel came back now wearing a bathing suit he hops the fence and he sneaks back into sea world the same way he did a couple years earlier when he snuck into the manatee exhibit and somehow he managed to go through the park without being picked up on a camera and he makes his way over to the killer whale enclosure he hops the fence he takes off his shirt takes off his shoes so he's just got his bathing suit on and he jumps into the massive pool with tilikum when daniel jumped into the manatee exhibit he had said he just wanted to play with manatees and so it's assumed that when he jumped in with tilikum he just wanted to play with tilikum and apparently tilikum was really eager to play with daniel because tilikum quickly played with daniel by biting his shorts and bringing him to the bottom of the pool and dragging him along the bottom until daniel drowned and then after he drowned tilikum basically thrashed him around throwing him up and down ripping off pieces of him until finally he draped daniel's body over his back and that's where telecom kept him the next day when the staff showed up and made this discovery they couldn't get daniel's body away from tilikum because telecom wanted to keep his toy and so they had to use a special medical hoist to lift telecom up into the air to recover daniel's body daniel's death was ruled an accident as a result of his poor decision making and so as such tilikum was not punished [Music] in 1910 miners drilling inside of the nika cave in chihuahua mexico punctured through the ground and discovered this flooded cavern after pumping the water out and stepping inside of this cavern they were amazed to see these massive gypsum crystals that had formed on the walls and the ceiling all over this cave although the crystals were beautiful they were far less valuable than what these miners were after which was silver so instead of trying to you know mine out these crystals they told the locals in the area that they had found this cave and that they really ought to come down here and protect it because it's this amazing natural wonder and so for the next hundred years the locals in chihuahua mexico basically kept this cave that they nicknamed the cave of swords under lock and key so that no one would go in there and destroy these amazing crystals fast forward to the year 2000 and two men are inside of this mine not the nike mine where the cave of swords is located but a mine that was right up against it and they're drilling down and they're actually at the same level of where the cave of swords is located and they don't know it yet but they're drilling underneath the cave of swords and they eventually puncture into the rock revealing this underground flooded cavern now these two men are not tracking that this is right underneath the cave of swords so they're not thinking there could be crystals inside of this flooded cavern they're thinking there could be silver down there so after pumping all the water out of this cavern they crawl down inside and it opens up into this massive cavern with these enormous crystals coming out of the ceiling the walls everywhere and they are like 10 times 15 times bigger than any of the biggest crystals inside of the cave of swords these are literally the biggest crystals in the world and this cavern looks like superman's fortress of solitude it's this unbelievable landscape this new cave would be dubbed the giant crystal cave and like its counterpart the cave of swords it would be handed over to locals to protect now you'd think people would be lining up like crazy to get inside either of these two caves to see these natural wonders but the truth is nobody wants to go inside of these caves because they're death traps even though both of these caves have had the water drained out of them their humidity level is still 100 which means if you're in there too long in either of these two caves you run the risk of your lungs starting to fill with water effectively drowning you in fact scientists speculate that it would take about 10 minutes for this to happen to you if you were inside one of these caves assuming you were not wearing a special breathing device that was pumping dry air back into you but even if you were wearing these special air tanks the cave would still kill you in about an hour because the temperature exceeds 130 degrees fahrenheit and so if you combine the extreme heat with the humidity and the tight enclosed nature of an underground cave you have a natural oven that if you stay in there too long it will cook you alive so the only people that go inside of these caves are researchers that wear all the special equipment and they only go inside for a couple of minutes at most but in 2001 so one year after the discovery of the big crystal cave one of the workers who helped drain out the big crystal cave decided you know what i want a crystal for myself and so using his understanding of the mind and his access to this particular section of the mind he made his way down and got inside of the big crystal cave now the only special equipment he had was a saw because he figured he could get in there and saw off a piece of one of these crystals and get out of there in just a couple of minutes certainly well before anything bad would happen to him so he gets inside he identifies the crystal he wants and he starts sawing off the bottom of this crystal but it dislodges a huge chunk of the crystal that falls on him now when it fell on him that didn't kill him but it pinned him inside of this cave at this point reality must have sunk in very quickly for this guy he didn't tell anyone where he was going because what he was doing was illegal and he knows that nobody checks inside of these caves to see if people are trapped or stuck because they don't expect people to go into these caves and they're off limits a couple of days later researchers went down into big crystal cave and they discovered this guy still pinned underneath the big crystal he had cut from the ceiling it was unclear whether he had died from drowning or from being cooked alive but either way he was deceased to this day big crystal cave and the cave of swords are strictly off limits to the public [Music] on june 30th 2002 an 18 year old named daniel dick was on vacation with his mother and his two younger brothers in hawaii daniel had just graduated from his high school in los angeles where he was the student body president he was known to invite all of his classmates over to his house all the time for dinners and girls would call him all the time to try to get advice about their boyfriends and daniel also would befriend troubled teens in an attempt to kind of pick them up and get them back on the straight and narrow when he and his family left for this vacation he had been working part-time at a grocery store and was getting ready to attend california state university in the fall that morning daniel went down to the beach where he planned on doing some swimming and maybe laying out in the sun for a little bit and pretty quickly he met three girls and after about 30 minutes of chatting with them he asked them if they wanted to climb over the fence and check out the blowhole a blowhole is a fairly narrow hole that is situated on rocks right near where water is crashing and this hole is usually formed by molten lava that is passed through underneath and what happens is this hole is connected to a tunnel that feeds down and out into the water so when the waves come in they go through this tunnel and they get rocketed up this little opening causing a massive geyser of water now if you don't go near the blow hole it's not dangerous at all it's just a very cool natural phenomenon the beach that daniel and these girls were on was situated right near an infamously dangerous blowhole called the halona blowhole the reason it was so dangerous is because the water it connected to through that tunnel was some of the most violent in all of hawaii so when those waves came barreling through the tunnel it would shoot 30 plus feet in the air and so to make sure everybody understood you're only allowed to watch the blowhole from a distance they actually put up a fence all the way around it and put up signs saying do not go any closer to give you a sense of how powerful the water was that was churning through this tunnel if you were standing on the other side of the fence watching the blowhole from a safe distance you could feel the ground shaking as the waves would rumble through the tunnel and then explode out of the blowhole according to daniel's family and friends he was not a reckless person he was just a very adventurous person and so something like this blowhole really piqued his interest and he just couldn't handle being on the outside of the fence he really wanted to get right up there and get a look at it in fact he told these girls he wanted to feel the power of the water hit him in the chest that was his plan the girls told him this was a bad idea but he was insistent and he began walking over to the rocks where he could climb up and jump this fence the girls went with him but they stopped short of the fence as daniel made his way over to the rocks he passed by a couple that was laying on the beach he waved to them he climbed up the rocks he climbed over the fence and he made his way over to the blow hole and he timed it to where a wave had just come in and shot a geyser up and then as soon as the water went down and there was a break he walked over the edge of this hole that was not very far across and he kind of arched himself over it so his chest was hovering right over where the water was going to come up and initially a wave came through and the water shot up and it hit him in the chest and kind of staggered him back for a minute and at this point the three girls and the couple that he had passed are now yelling for him to get away from the blowhole that it's way too dangerous but it was too late he leaned back over the blowhole right as a massive wave came barreling through the tunnel it rocketed up and it lifted him off the ground about five feet in the air and it turned him upside down so his head is pointed down and when he fell he went directly into the blowhole the couple and the three girls that saw this happen described his body position as being the perfect dive and in order to actually get into the blow hole you would need the perfect body position because the opening is very narrow and it goes down eight feet of just this narrow narrow tube and at the bottom of that it opens up like the inside of a teapot then inside of there is this just vicious churning water that connects to this underground tunnel that feeds out to the sea and so when daniel went head first down his momentum along with his perfect body position forced himself down through that hole into that section that's kind of like the inside of a teapot and once you're inside there's no way to go back up again the opening is too tight there's nothing to hold on to you wouldn't have the ability to force yourself up through that hole again so the only way out is through the underground tunnel that leads out to the sea but there are constantly waves pounding their way up this tunnel into the section where daniel had fallen into and so realistically anybody that tries to swim through this fairly long underground tunnel is only going to get so far before a wave forces them back or traps them in some way in this underground tunnel as soon as daniel went into the blowhole the couple and the three girls immediately climbed up the rocks hopped over the fence and began looking into the tunnel yelling for daniel and as they're sitting there yelling for him and yelling for people on the beach to call 9-1-1 they would feel the ground start to shake as another wave would come to the tunnel and erupt through the blow hole and they know every time that happened daniel if he was alive he was completely submerged in water for 30 seconds or so every iteration that this blowhole erupted by the time the police showed up daniel has been trapped inside of this blowhole for some time and no one's heard him no one's seen him and so it's starting to look pretty grim and the police would say it's nearly impossible for anybody to survive being inside of this blowhole especially at high tide which is when he went in in fact the police would say we can't even send divers in there until low tide because if we send someone in now they're gonna get killed inside of this blow hole it's too violent inside of there and so the best they could do was put a weighted line into the blowhole anchored on the outside so that if by some miracle daniel was still alive he'd be able to grab this line and pull himself up he probably would not be able to pull himself through the hole to safety but at least he could keep himself out of the water until rescuers could get there the next day at low tide but when low tide came the next day and divers went out to the water they discovered daniel's body it was floating near the area where water actually gets sucked into the tunnel and out through the blow hole during low tide he must have been pulled back out through the tunnel out to sea it's unclear how long daniel was alive once he landed inside of the blow hole or whether he ever attempted to actually swim through that tunnel out to sea but at some point he did drown daniel's mother petitioned to have a metal grate put over the blowhole so that nobody else would fall in and meet the same fate as her son but this proposal was met with criticism from the locals who said the problem was not the blowhole the problem was people not respecting the power of nature and so while offense still surrounds helona blowhole telling people to stay back the entrance to the blowhole is still uncovered so that's gonna do it guys if you found the secret in today's episode let us know in the comments what it is and where you found it so give us the time stamp and if you're the first to
