Tbh I think he had ceased to be conscious (or at least ceased to be cognitive, aware of his surroundings and capable of thought) long before that point. If he died around the time the bulb went out then the heat from the bulb was literally the only thing keeping his brain from shutting down and freezing to death. The most tragic part to me is that the last day or two before he fell asleep and remained unconscious to his death probably wasn't spent alone in quiet contemplation but more likely in absolute madness from delirium, maybe even hallucinations and nightmares. Either way, I think it's fair to say that by the time Casey Jones almost got baited into being trapped with Floyd in there, Floyd was such a mess that he probably wasn't even sure himself of what he was trying to do. After all, for the entire 15 days ordeal, his head was partially submerged in cool temperature water, there's no way in hell he was in a state of mind to do any decision making.

There wouldn't have been that cave in and Gerald almost digging him out in one go was sign enough that that could have worked, they might have even realized 'we should go in the other side to remove the rock' or found another way to do it.

Not really, he was kind of screwed no matter what anybody did, the ground is still frozen solid because of how cold and frosty it is, so digging down to free his leg is either a) going to require melting all the nearby frost away, which risks a cave-in, cutting off the only sure way they have to him, making it that hole or bust, or b) digging through frozen earth, which is MUCH harder to do, and is consequently going to take much, much longer, which is more likely to cause permanent, likely fatal, debilitating conditions, like muscular degeneration, muscle and/or bone atrophy, and blood clots, in Floyd; so that even if they DO free him alive, he's not going to be that way for very long, or is going to require assistance to do literally ANYTHING for the rest of his life. The problem wasn't the crowds gathered outside, though they certainly didn't help matters, it isn't even really the cave itself, it was a combination of weather and seasonal climate.

Mammoth Cave, and the whole area around it, is sitting on large deposits of limestone. Limestone dissolves in water. All those people showing up, tearing up the vegetation, melting the snow, gawking in the entrance of the cave (adding the moisture of their breath), almost definitely caused the cave-in.

Floyd's brother, Miller and Gerald were the MVPs here They tried so damn hard. The fact that Miller came there for the story , but kept coming back to genuenly help was a show that he was a good human being Floyd's brother , even years later, just wanted to help his brother even if all he could do is give him a proper burial And Gerald was such a BOSS that the cave had to sucker punch him so he couldn't get Floyd out.

My family is from Appalachia, and this story is still really commonly known in the area, especially where there are lots of mines (basically caves) and natural cave networks like the one he got stuck in. My dad took me into a cave in Tennessee, with the sole mission of teaching me "never go in a cave, ever" and it worked-- Never got hurt screwing around known cave sites, but I knew plenty of people who did. Not only is the cave itself a hazard, but there is often abandoned TNT (decayed from age and therefore volatile-- wind caused by movement walking around can potentially set it off) which was left in place by miners/cavers, and other risks like hidden rusted tools and obviously unstable mine/cave walls and floors... Tons of gruesome stories. I'm glad IH's video has brought this story to a wider audience!

Two things I'd like to mention, First, when you think about it. They probably coulda reached him before he died, if there hadn't been so much interference from the public. Time was wasted during that two day court martial, and even prior to that, time was wasted with the locals arguing about what they should do to free him, while getting nothing done. Add it all up, and it shows that 3 whole days were wasted. It's tragic. Which brings me to my second point, Internet Historian told this tragic story brilliantly. He told it in a way where it felt like you're actually there watching it all unfold. Upon watching his other videos, he does this with some of his other videos, and he does it very well. But the fact that he's able to tell this story in a way that it gets people like me or Skitten to shed tears for a man who's been dead for almost 100 years, which is praiseworthy and admirable

@amathy9690

Жыл бұрын

Adding to your first point, less idiots disturbing the area around the cave decreases the chance of the cave-in happening. If that didn't happen he probably would have lived.

The most tragic part about this story is how close they were to getting him out of that damn cave. And not just once, a few times they were hours away from doing it. If they had started with a mind for shoring up the cave and being careful not to destabilize it further from the get go they would have definitely bought themselves enough time to get him out. But again, hindsight is 20/20. And its not like there were a bunch of experts there at first. Most of that time was wasted by dumb local Kentucky farmers who had no idea what they were doing. Out of the hundreds of people loitering outside, only three actually contributed to the actual work for almost the entire operation.

This is such a terrifying thought to have. Especially if you visit caves used as tourist attractions. The thought of getting trapped due to a cave in is such a horrible possibility.

The metal guardrails were obviously fine but the act of touching these rocks can damage and erode them., no touching.

As a person from Kentucky yes there this city is there. We would do many, many, many field trips out to mammoth city to go through one of the cave systems.

@@Chavezzslovakia sadly no last time I went I think I was 12 or 13. At the time mid 90's I didn't have cell phone. Plus the printed pictures I had at the time have been last.

​@@Chavezzslovakia oh I just remembered this if you seach for Mammoth cave there's a website for the National Park and I think they have pictures. I think it's just for the main caves that they do but still it's something.

The rope pull could have possibly worked had they applied a pulley system. The main complication would be securing it to the cave wall/floor, but it can be done. Also, it should have been somehow possible to direct the exhaust from the digging equipment away from the cave. Unfortunately it seems that help of a sufficient nature simply arrived too late. Shoring up the cave walls should have been one of the first things done. But I guess too many people wanted to stand around gawking and being useless. At the very least, we can hope his last few days were spent in unconsciousness or delirium. Better to not know you're dying than to be cognizant while it's happening.

Internet Historian story telling skills are so good that beginning segment had me so stressed the first time I saw it

this guy somehow managed to naturally commit chinese water tourture on himself, wow

YES! I've been waiting! Your guys' IH reactions are the best :3

Been waiting for it all week. Thanks Chavez.

Skitten: "So my answer is child labor and endangerment!" Ohhh mah gawd. Skitten PLEASE!

FINALLY YOU GUYS REACT TO THIS. And also, Skitten, I knew you would cry but this is a really good video to watch. Cried right along with you❤❤❤

I believe the movie you were referring to at beginning is called the descent

“There’s no nazis in Kentucky” well there is now but there is definitely no nazis in 1925

I love both your channels. I just love both of your content. I have waited so much. Like I see you have haha. For another internet historian video. But I have also waited for both your reactions to this story. Thank you both. And of course. Keep up the amazing work :)

I knew if Chavezz watched this with Skitten, it'll be like the Costa Concordia vid all over again

The best Internet historian video, combo’d with the best KZread reactors, what can I say

I've been waiting for you to react to this video! So happy you guys are finally getting to it.

The punch in the gut when they found him dead... Jesus man... I can't even wonder what went through Floyd's head as he was dying

Probably was driven completely bonkers to say the least.

First of all I was waiting for your reaction to this! I’m so happy you guys posted! Second of all, Skitten you look so cute with the plushie on your head 😂❤

Gladly my anxiety wasn't quite at panic attack levels my second time through. When I watched the original video, though, I had to take several breaks. My claustrophobia was turned up to eleven.

1:05 Internet Historian was born and raised in New Zealand but lives in Australia with his wife.

bruh why am i in tears?

This story get's more infuriating the longer it goes on. The people did not hesitate to squeeze every last penny out of this mans predicament.

I love the casual Wendi cameos

This was definitely heartbreaking to watch😢 on a happy note it was beautiful to see everyone come together to help

I already watched this video and I still felt the suspense and sadness.

My humanity is shook, was not ready for the realty gut punch.

I've been waiting A WEEK for this video to come out Love u guys

hi Chez and Skitten, I've been watching a lot of your stuff. it's awesome! I don't know why I hadn't subscribed sooner, but now I am. this was also my first "new" IH video. I watched it, and immediately thought of the two of you reacting to it. Have a great day you two. take care

I always love it when you two use mass effect music

if he had dug more and made sure the squeeze in the turnaround room was wider before continuing the cave clearing, this never would have happened.

Been waiting for this one 🙌🏼

I’m 99.9% sure he heard the dynamite going off

16:01 After hours of calculations, running endless simulations. I have concluded that Skitten is a lucky woman.

This has to be one of the funniest adds in a video I’ve seen in a while

I have been waiting for this reaction!!!

How in the world did you manage to write a 30 PAGE paper on Coolidge though?
