It’s finally that time again? A new video from Internet Historian??? Hell yeah
Wendigoon is modeling for stock photos I guess.
Can’t watch this, its too much.
I’m not claustrophobic but holy moly this was a tough (but good) watch.
Internet Historian is really showing that he can deliver despite deviating from his “internet meme analysis” roots. It’s also a very fitting story for him to choose, because despite taking place long before the internet was a thing, you just KNOW this would have been a internet sensation in today’s day and age. [(see: Tham Luang cave rescue a few years back)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tham_Luang_cave_rescue)
That was so tense. I barely made it through.
And this is why I will never cave dive.
That was a great video
Oof 5 minutes in, and I don’t think I can keep going. Everything about this is giving me a panic attack.
I’ve spent the last month binging stories about caving and cave diving accidents so to learn that internet historian has made one makes me so happy.
Wow, I can’t believe i watched the whole video, that was an amazing story.

A new internet historian video?? what’s next, a new lemmino video?
I definitely believe evolution wired us to react strongly when other people are trapped in a cave. It is always a sensation and garners a huge response.
Like when the thai soccer team got trapped and it was an international incident. Totally unproportional response compared to all the other stuff that can and does kill us.
this gives huge claustrophobia vibes. great watch while eating for those who don’t suffer from it tho.
even the promo was entertaining haha, genius
I was shocked when he revealed how they knew he was still alive. Almost by happenstance they were able to measure his periodic breathing through small changes in resistance or impedance or whatever of a copper cable that stretched from the cave entrance to a lightbulb resting on Floyd’s chest that was set up earlier to give him some light.
One of the few creators I’ll actually sit through an hour long video for.
The solution to get him out was so simple. It’s so surprising that no one at the time could see it. They could have just downloaded World of Tanks and used the code TankMania.
Awesome video. IH is a fantastic story teller
I think he’s just really selfless, giving each streamer a solid hour of content, particularly with all the drama they have.
Oh god it feels like years since the last video.
Half a million views already in less than 5 hours. This man can do no wrong
When the first 5 minutes of Internet Historian get you more on the edge of your seat than any movie in the last 10 years… Amazing.
“It fucking moved!”
lol even the narrator couldn’t control his excitement.
Internet historian does not miss. Fuck I got shit to do and he got me for the full damn hour.
People can be the worst. The guys who send the telegram and the ones at the end are the worst.
I was literally watching a Wendigoon video on the Backrooms before watching this, just to see Wendigoon trapped in the cave lol.
I will never be able to understand cavers. Don’t know what they’re hoping to find down there that is worth the risk of this kind of thing happening. Pretty sure I have a phobia of passages like “the squeeze” as well. It’s just madness to me that anyone would want to basically paralyze themselves and spend an hour inching through that with nothing but their toes, often not even knowing whats on the other side.
It’s just kept going. Right when I thought ok its over, that’s the end of the story. Nope another 20 mins
I’m glad Internet Historian didn’t continue the “meme overload” format of Area 51. It felt like he really stretched that video out a bit too long. This and Cost of Concordia are among his best for sure.
Is that Wendigoon?
Billy Wilder made a movie about this called Ace in the Hole that’s quite good.
I actually feel ill after watching this, what a horrible story and a great video
I love the casual footnote at 48:34.
This is up there with Cost of Concordia for me. Another masterpiece! Well done to all involved.
One thing that always bothered me is, why didn’t Collins first make the “the squeeze” larger first? His intention was to show off the inside to tourists, surely tourists would not want to go down such a narrow hole to get there.
He could have maybe planned to do it later, but to me it seems a lot easier to first sort out that hole to expand it and then work on the hole he was working on that got him trapped, it would have maybe made it easier for rescuers to get to him and possibly have saved his life.
This seems like a story that would absolutely make a great, tense movie. It makes me wonder how many amazing real life stories like this would make great films, but studios pass on them because they have bummer endings.
Ok seriously though, is IH the same guy as Alt Shift X?
I’ve been casually caving. It’s pretty freaky even in relatively safe caves with no tight areas. It is amazing how your brain has so much trouble navigating a truly 3d space rather than the stacked planes we live in normally.
Watching this video at 2am, snuggled up in my favorite blanket and knowing absolutely nothing about the story beforehand- just wow.
It was so scary, with highs and lows and with actual *characters* beyond just their name and profession. I was at the edge of my seat the whole time, and while I am glad I watched it, I am also saddened by the knowledge that I can never watch it “for the first time” again.
Internet Historian is the perfect example of “Quality over Quantity”
about half way into the video I spoiled the ending on my self because the anxiety was killing me.
Internet Historian story telling is impressive.
Made it as far as the Squeeze, couldnt do it. Dont know how people actually do this stuff.
You know that had he survived, it would have been made into an Oscar worthy movie featuring Tom Hanks as his brother in the early 90s.
It is blood boiling that the reason the cave collapsed and ultimately killed him was bc a crowd of mouth breathing degenerates were using his predicament as an opportunity to have a fucking fair ground. I hope all those people in attendance doing nothing felt deep shame about that.
Although I guess they did stop the rope guy from pulling the poor guy in half the second time so there is that
