Is that Santa at 27:18?

The pilot who let his kids fly the pilot would have to fight me in the afterlife

The aeroflot disaster was so sad, a guy with no control over his pride took the lives of 75 people.

imagine a search party so incompetent they cant find the patient 20 feet away from where she went missing.

Lynn was in renal failure … she had a buildup of urea in her bloodstream which led to her mental “confusion”. Her confusion was then compounded by the dehydration she would have experienced during the time she was “missing”. A person can go without food for about two weeks, but not water … what an ugly death she must have had.

That first story is TERRIFYING. Like what the hell? How could someone be so irresponsible? This is a plane containing real people. How can you let your kids just play around like that? Now him and other innocent people paid the price for HIS own actions.

if that emergency door was right there by her room, it is the very zenith of mass stupidity that nobody checked those balconies.

Today i went with my friend to a very old abandoned bridge that was for trains, made probably in the late 1890s early 1900s. When walking through the old weakend wooden planks at night i noticed the bridge was very high from the ground and i stopped and said to myself. "You know, i really dont wanna be on a mrballen episode in a few months" I JUST DONT

that last story scares me so much and is the reason why im so paranoid. if i hear someone screaming from an empty house i will be telling people. if i see bodyparts peeking out from somewhere i will be checking if theyre real. it horrifies me that many people couldve been saved if people just cared a bit more.

Omg for the first story I just kept thinking "are you f*cking joking me??" HE LET HIS KIDS FLY THE PLANE??!! Wow....just wow. May they all RIP

Flight 593 is the one airplane crash that haunts me every time i think about it… so preventable

Hello. I am her son and this is her account. Long story short my mother died from a failed ostomy surgery and suffered from extreme agoraphobia and panic disorder. She would spend years in bed suffering from pain. But she loved your youtube channel and it was running almost all the time. She didnt even know fully what amazon prime was but instantly bought it to access more of your content and faster. I was planning to pay you for a short 30 second "Hi" video for her on the ride when she came home I just wanted you to know how much your content helped her while she was alive. Thanks!

At the time that story The Blue Door occurred, I was working Healthcare Security at a hospital in California about 100 Mi away from San Francisco General. When the story came out what happened in San Francisco, a new procedure was implemented immediately, that Security was be responsible for checking every stairwell in the hospital on every shift and hand signing a written log in each stairwell, to prevent something like this from happening at our Hospital. If anything went awry in one of the stairwells, the log was used for accountability.

It's insane to me that it never occurred to ANYONE that maybe Lynn went out the emergency exit literally right next to her room! She wanted to go home, where would you go if you wanted to escape the hospital? The emergency exit right next to your room or down this long hallway where you might be caught? It seems like common sense to me. What a terrible shame!

One thing I've learned from Mr. Ballen's videos is to never, ever use a chimney as a means of entry.

I would recommend to watch a full aeroflot flight 593 breakdown. It's full of mindblowing details. The most heartbreaking part is that the situation could have been fixed twice during that time and even the kid pointed out that something was wrong, but it was ignored until it was too late.

The last story is similar to Joseph Schexnider of Abbeville, Louisiana who suddenly disappeared without a trace one day in 1984. Fast forward 27 years later in 2011 and a renovation crew was tearing out a chimney in a bank right there in town. When the workers were removing the bricks, they found human bones. When the police retrieved the remains, they found Thomas’s identification. He had been right there the entire time. The police believed he got stuck in the chimney like Thomas, and remained entombed until they found him. Even had he screamed as loud as he could, the sound would have been directed upward and no one on the street would have heard him. The bank had never used fireplaces, and both of them had been sealed off when the space was occupied. That must have been a horrific way to die, but he played a stupid game and won a stupid prize.

I'm a nurse who works with dementia patients. The emergency exits would be the first places we would have looked. That's just negligence for not checking there immediately

The second story is crazy to me. I am a nurse and one time we had a confused patient go missing. We literally went room to room and checked everywhere including walking up and down every single stairwell. We knew the likelihood this patient could even go down or up stairs was very small we still checked them. Patient was found in another room safe.

I love how you tell us which photos are “real.” It shows that you have integrity in your storytelling. I also love that most of the time in your videos is just you talking to us/ the camera. you’re just a guy in a flannel who doesn’t need a bunch of gimmicky clips or special effects to be interesting. I wish more of the world was like that.
