This week's Fascinating Horror episode made me really sad :(

If there's one thing I've learned from watching hundreds of hours of disaster analysis content online (autism?!), it's that you should never listen to someone telling you to stay put during a disaster. Maybe with one exception being if you're on a plane. Flight attendants know their shit, and where are you gonna go. Boat crews? Train drivers? Hotel staff? Politicians? Park rangers? Hell no. I am getting the fuck out of there the second shit starts to go south, and no uniformed bellboy saying 'stay put, everything is fine' is gonna fool me.

Ngl, I think the BEST April Fool's jokes are the videos posted by Fascinating Horror on YouTube...

My favourite recurring April Fool's tradition has to be Fascinating Horror covering the events of a disaster movie.

This is the most uplifting, heartwarming disaster video I think I've ever seen. If you need your faith restored in what humanity is capable of, give this 10 minute video a watch.

Fascinating Horror is a great channel. Despite the name, the videos are never horrific, grotesque, or sensationalized. The narrator speaks respectfully of those involved, and ends his videos with a look at the good that came of the disaster- new safety regulations, rebuilding efforts, etc- that ends the videos on a surprisingly positive note.

The videos are nicely bite-sized, around 10-12 minutes apiece, and are also actually captioned, which I sincerely appreciate.

We don't know if you've happened upon this youtube channel yet, but if you haven't, take ten minutes and watch.

It's called Fascinating Horror, and it is fascinating and absolutely horrific, but it's so much more.

It's history. Tales of the mistakes of humans that led to greater safety measures, enforcement of laws already in place, and awareness of the public to the many ways in which disasters can occur.

So many of them, you'd think could never happen. We know better. But we know better because of these incidents.

These are the stories of What Can Go Wrong, Will Go Wrong.

And this man is a great story teller.

Enjoy.

I don’t think many understand how effective an opening the first mental break incident in Persona 5.

This shit is terrifying.

“On the 29th of October 1998 a fire began inside a community centre in Gothenburg, Sweden. That night the venue was supposedly hosting a birthday party for around 50 people… but when the fire service arrived on scene they were confronted by an unexpected and horrifying reality: the building was packed with more than four times that number, many of whom were already beyond saving.”
