I don't have claustrophobia, but thinking about this dude is about as close as I get. What an awful way to die, and I can't imagine how insane you have to be to enjoy this hobby.
- You'd have to be really nutty.
  
  Nutty putty?
- Dude had a very long time to contemplate and regret every choice he made that caused him to end up in that situation
  
  Not that long. Once the blood started pooling in his head, things probably got weird.
  
  This is the time where I'd be like you can break whatever is needed to get me out of this fucking hole. I'll scream but keep pulling.
- This hole was made for me
- You've clearly never heard of underwater spelunking
  
  Cave diving is next level crazy.
  
  Spelunking terrifies me, but I'm actively working towards my cave diving cert.
  I can always cut my straps and squirm out of my gear if things get tight, and I don't have to worry about gravity.
  
  You mean suicide with hops?

Damn I thought Saddam Hussein had it bad
- At least he had a fan and an air vent
- There's only an 80° difference between then.
- My exact thought lmao

Watched internet historians youtubevideo about the dude.Damn horrible situation...
- Now go watch hbomberguy's video about plagiarism to be aware of how much of this Internet Historians video is stolen.
  
  Cool, looks like a lot of video to watch, I'll take your word for it. Not too surprising thinking about it.
  
  The one thing about that which I find worth defending, is how much his video made the story entertaining. I wouldn't have read the article but his video kept me engaged . Even if the writing was copied, he still added a lot to it.
- This is a different man in a cave.
- Which one? Are either of them still up? I heard he got hbomed.
- That wasn't this guy, it was different cave. Turns out lots of people have died horribly in caves.
- Was this Man in Cave? Because I definitely heard about it...

But that isn't my hole. It wasn't made for me.
- DRRRRRR
  DRRRRRRRRR
  DRRRRRRRRRRR

We should really have a spelunking agency go around closing off these "no room to turn around" passageways because as fun as these caver types are personally, they're also the kind of morons who see a very obviously dangerous hole off the recommended path and think "LEZZDOIIIIIIIIT!" Basically most of the cast of "As Above So Below", "What's that, this supposed passageway to hell is shifting in ways to reveal passages that are unknown even to this expert catacomb guide despite his tag being on the walls? LET'S KEEP GOING!"
- Abandoned mine explores too. Hey! Arsenic water and 100 year old dynamite! Geotechnical hazards! LETS GOOOOOO
  
  YOOOO whats up dingleberries its ya boy Ser Sploresalot, and today we're dry-panning for gemstones in Wittenoom gorge!
  
  Like the guy in Cerro Gordo?
- I like to imagine the horror of going down an "unexplored" hole, being unable to turn around or back out, and crawling face first into the previous explorer's boots.

The story about a man stuck in a cave that gave me nightmares forever, after watching the video, this new story can't hurt me anymore:

Watch it, the way the story is told is great, a classic! 10/10 nightmares, will watch again!
Edit: I was made aware that the video plagiarised heavily an article by someone else, so I leave the link to the original work here too: https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/544782/1925-cave-rescue-that-captivated-the-united-states-floyd-collins
- Just FYI, that whole video is plagiarised from an article written by someone else.
  
  The video credits an article in its description and its author: https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/544782/1925-cave-rescue-that-captivated-the-united-states-floyd-collins Is it this one?
- For any cave dweller who haven't seen it, here's Hbomberguy talking about the history of this video and it's plagiarism, as @Mago alluded to. https://piped.video/watch?v=yDp3cB5fHXQ&t=5071 (if the timecode doesn't work, it's arond the 1:24~25 mark.
- Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

  I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Just seeing this image gives me anxiety at a whole different level
- This happened. Look up nutty putty cave incident. Very sad story

Reading about the attempt to rescue him gave me claustrophobia.
Nutty putty cave incident for those that are curious.

okay but what if I'm only going to stay there 24 hours and then die? Do I still have to pay for a whole month?
- Please arrange a professional clean prior to vacating or we will arrange our own and the cost will be forwarded to you. Thanks.
  
  But I'm not vacating my cozy nook after I die. Do you still require tenants to pay rent when dead?
- Yes. Plus security deposit. We're going to need to hire security for the crowd that will gather outside when we pull out your corpse.
  
  Ummm...
  They never pulled him out. He's still in there buried in concrete.

Geothermal heating and cooling!

Is this hussein?
- search 'nutty putty cave'
  
  No, I don't think I will
- No that guy is a med student. For what it's worth he really really really wants to get out of there.
  
  Actually, he seems to be at peace with it now.
  Jesus christ, I'm horrible.
  I'll see myself out...unlike others.
  Holy mother of God...

This incident gave me trauma

Ffs this is so dark yet I expelled air very fast from my nose

Nightmare fuel that whole incident.
