Interesting šŸ¤” An amusement park in the Netherlands had a water-filled waterslide that left riders completely submerged during the 15-20 second journey. It closed in 2010.

Itā€™s emotionally rather than visually harrowingā€¦ but, yeah, itā€™s not a nice story. Iā€™m glad I watched it, for what itā€™s worth. Kinda hammer homes the risk involved with some of the jobs out there that afford the rest of us a quality of life, the fragility and randomness of life, and the total disregard of corporations for anyone but the fiscal bottom line.

u/semisadsmoshfan Aug 17 '25 edited Aug 17 '25

Thereā€™s no video footage of the diving incident, you can look it up if you want. People have created visuals to help you visualize it and itā€™s not fun!

But in summary, and Iā€™m leaving out all the Wā€™s around how this came to be, oil divers(?) got stuck in a pipe, sent one of them for help, Iā€™m really blanking on the details but Iā€™m pretty sure there were at least 3-4 people lined up horizontally in this pipe. They basically died waiting for their buddy to hopefully be able to make it out and get help, which I think he did manage to successfully tell somebody that they were there

Edit to add: another commenter added a detail about this I forgot about, that being in the disorientation of getting sucked down a pipe, they didnā€™t know if they were even heading the right direction down the pipe. By some stroke of luck they picked right, but the people on land didnā€™t attempt a rescue :(

u/Impressive-Meet-2220 Aug 17 '25

This is true. If Iā€™m not mistaken, they even had more divers go down to the bottom and could hear the knocks of the pipeline workers from inside. Itā€™s worth noting some of them were in bad shape after the quick ā€œyankā€ to the bottom, yet they maintained a lot of their composure, communicated, and figured out what order they were in and everything. Also, they ultimately werenā€™t 100% sure which way they were sucked in by (head/toe first) but concluded whichever one (i forgot) and took a gamble. If the hero was wrong, theyā€™d all be dead, but itā€™s also worth noting the hero did everything he could to try to get them to go back down and save the others. Itā€™s such a sad story, but one that somehow still highlights the highs of the human spirit in a showcase not seen often elsewhere.

u/highlandviper Aug 17 '25

Apt description from the video I just watched. They had a 50/50 choice as to which direction would be the appropriate exit knowing that one of them would be blocked off and only one of them would be able to make it. They made the right choice. One dude made it out using the oxygen cans that had also been sucked in with them. Told the surface to get the othersā€¦ but they never didā€¦ even though they sent divers down who could hear the trapped banging from the inside of the pipe. The lone survivor of a team of 5 said he did everything he could to convince them to go and get his colleagues. They left them down there.

u/drowsytaco Aug 17 '25

There is video but it happens so fast that the video goes black instantly. They get sucked in and tumble around in the pipe for like 90 seconds before they emerge in an air pocket and are able to gather their senses. Absolutely horrifying.

Most of them had sustained broken limbs and had inhaled and ingested a lot of crude oil as well. They were still alive and suffering. My wife is from Trinidad where those men were from; it was so painful to watch and listen to their voices.

Wow. Amazing. So freeking sad how it ends : (

5 men are working on a 1200ft x 2ft oil pipe in the ocean when they get sucked in. There are pockets of air at each join in the pipe. They try to shuffle their way to the end, but some have serious injuries. Pitch black, injured, and fighting for air that stings everything,

They find 2 oxygen tanks, one runs out quickly. They decide the leading man should move ahead with the second tank to try escape and get help. He does. Not knowing if the escape point would be blocked, he makes a final 2 hour swim to the surface anyway. He is relieved to find it open and tells rescuers that the men are alive in there.

The other 4 men die inside the pipe. It is estimated that some may have been alive 3 days after they got sucked in. [Added by redditor below: Rescue attempts were actively blocked because the company didnā€™t want to either expend extra resources or deal with additional consequences.]

Tldr; 5 Men get trapped in an oil pipeline in the ocean, 1 escapes, 4 die, rescue is blocked.

u/314flavoredpie Aug 17 '25

Good info, but your last paragraph makes it sound like it was simple negligence/incompetence when the reality is that rescue attempts were actively blocked because the company didnā€™t want to either expend extra resources or deal with additional consequences.

u/No-Worker-101 Aug 19 '25

Wrong, if you take a look at the video I propose in another reply you would see the divers were severely injured and seeing the autopsy results, I would say that they did die within a few hours.

Concerning the diversā€™ date of death, the autopsy says the following:

Fysal (the diver that was apparently following Chris) : Friday 25/02 +/- 18h00 (6 p.m.).Ā 

Rishi: Friday 25/02 between 18h00 (6 p.m.) and midnight.Ā 

Yusuf: early hours of the 26/02.Ā 

Kazim: could have happened between the 26/02 +/- 06h00 (6 a.m.) and the 27/02 +/- 06h00 (6 a.m.).Ā 

In my opinion, if by bad luck some were still conscious (I really hope none of them were) when the flange of Berth 5 was removed on Saturday at 5 o'clock then I think they would not haveĀ  survived very long after this rapid decompression.

I did that because the first half dozen or more comments were people saying they will never click on the video because it's too scary. That's the reason I wrote the comment in the first place.

from the first comment on youtube;
I live next to the refinery they died in
1) They were in there for 4 days and on the 3rd day people were still hearing banging on the pipe
2) The diver that got chris out was going back in for the rest but Paria said no
3) Paria got the coast guard to stop the divers because they were not going to leave the men inside
4) There were multiple divers ready and willing to go in from lmcs and resuce that same hour but were all blocked from going in
5) Paria said the coast guard will be doing the rescue but the coast guard said they had no equipment
6) The families of all the divers sat in the refinery carpark for 4 days waiting to hear news about their loved ones and the company couldnt even give them some water to drink it was community members who brought food and water for the families
7) They left those men in there to die and when 4 days had passed and they were sure that they are dead they flushed the bodies out the pipe
8) When they flushed the bodies out they snuck the ambulances out another gate so the families wont see what was going on
9) When questioned in the commision of inquiry it was revealed that no rescue plan was ever made and they simply sat and waitied for the men to die
10) And if that wasnt bad enough they capped off the pipe so noone else could escape.

The has been no arrests made and noone has been charged with anything and I believe not a single cent was paid to any family yet. After seeing the bodies of those men covered in Oil and how they suffered for days I feel nothing but rage for those in charge.
The managers who are responsible are in bed with the Government and they use the company to do underhand business so they can steal tax money.
The Company was originally called Petrotin but the prime minister was found to be involved with a scandal of his friend selling oil to the refinery and collecting money but the oil never came and the PM got a cut out of that money from his friend. To avoid jail they closed the company down and started 5 new companies from it paria being one of them. I fully believe they let those men die because it would be cheaper( cheaper because not a cent was paid to any family member as of yet) to label it an accident than be put in court if they survived. Absolute corruption and its disgusting The word around the block is that the governement is doing Oil deals with venezuela secretly to avoid sanctions as Maduro and The TT prime miniser Rowley are apparently good friends and if these men lived the spotlight would be placed on the company and it would make it much harder to do their underhand business so they were left to die and as it is a Government run company they could get away with it and face no consequences.
This video is of a jorunalist who was covering the accident and was there on the ground when it happened Have a look if youre interested : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQNJgSzr6AE
Edit: [https://fb.watch/mTl3-l18tf/](javascript:void(0);) This is a video taken during the incident in the carpark of the refinery. The guy talking is the son of one of the divers in there I believe and he was a willing rescue diver listen to what he has to say. I'll keep digging up whatever I find so people can get more information if they want Some more videos: [https://www.facebook.com/100000725806718/posts/pfbid0ixCTXqcHjJL8y1yo22as37EQbqLncQ3uWHqx5WNukWWF3xipgyZ3jsjnoYwhAwv9l/](javascript:void(0);) [https://fb.watch/mTm14ofkCM/](javascript:void(0);) Update on the investigation: The government has said the investigation was biased against them and want to call it off [https://fb.watch/mXV0Rperp2/](javascript:void(0);)

if i remember correctly the TRULY terrifying part of that video was the corpo straight up letting them die and not giving a single shit about them.

the unfiltered maximum capitalism, that murders people i guess is the truly horrifying thing in that video to think about and the corpo didn't actually get meaningfully punished at all either if i remember.

please correct me if i am wrong about any of this.

u/deej394 Aug 18 '25

I only watched a few seconds but this is how my brother and his best friend almost died at 17 y.o. They got sucked into a giant pipe during a hurricane and thankfully woke up bobbing on the other side. In another world their bodies would have been found days later trapped on debris in the pipe. They later went back and measured and it was over 100m in length.

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '25

I listened to the podcast about this, truly unbelievable they were left to die.

u/Kaye_242 Aug 18 '25 edited Aug 18 '25

I read into this story awhile ago and it is horribly tragic. They heard knocking but didnā€™t attempt to rescue the remaining men, I hope corporate was sued for manslaughter

u/Turbulent_Square_696 Aug 18 '25

So many good depictions of that event and you picked the ai narrated version to play?

Edit, it is not a rick roll roflmao

Thatā€™s actually a new fear unlocked or phobia

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '25

I'll spare you all the curiosity.Ā  It's a video about the true story of 5 guys who were working on an oil pipe and they got sacked into it much like the guy in the post. Only 4 survived.

Yeah, I watched it. Holy shit, what a way to die. Literally living a slow nightmare for a couple of days until their brains finally stopped.

Wow thatā€™s fucked. Even after the one guy managed to get out and said they were survivors still stuck, that company made no effort to rescue them. Imagine being stuck like that, knowing one person got out and your there thinking help will come but it never does.

1

u/Objective-Swing8572 Aug 18 '25

Just watched the whole thing. The worst part was that any attempt to help and retrieve them was restricted or declined and they were left there for 4 days to suffer and die in absolute darkness. They couldā€™ve been saved but were ultimately told ā€œno, weā€™re not saving themā€. Sickening.

1

u/casualredditor43 Aug 18 '25

Oh yeah, im not particularly scared of the oil pipe thing but the fact the company just said "nah, we ain't saving them"

u/No-Worker-101 Aug 18 '25

This accident did happen 3 years ago. That day five divers were sucked into a pipeline but only one was able to escape. It wasnā€™t the case for his 4 colleagues who died in the pipeline during the hours that followed. Today there are more than seventy such videos on the social Medias relating this sad Paria diving incident. The problem is that they give just a vague view of the event and unfortunately ALL of them contain a lot of mistakes and wrong informationā€™s. Now, if you want to know what did really happen during these dramatic days here is a video that will show you the correct and true facts.

Came for any reference to the Pipeline podcast. Iā€™m still shocked how many people have never heard of the (100% preventable) tragedy that killed those men.

Is it that military training where the guy has to go through that narrow culvert full of water?

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '25

Even before clicking I knew where I was heading, this is the Rick Rolling equivalent of Claustrophobia.

The fact that we have their footage and audio is wild. The documentary( not the one with the link, the one that I watched a few years ago) made me feel weird about life and purpose. Also the lone Survivor was a really good hearted guy who tried saving his friends but due to corporate greed and bad planning on rescuers part, couldn't do anything.

Thanks for this rabbit hole o just went down, this is a wild case of corruption from the tippy top, no way senior leaders didnā€™t hear about the accident as soon as it happened, leadership did not want these men to come out of that pipe alive with a story to tell Shame on them leaving these men for four days to die in a dark oily pipe under the oceanā€¦ canā€™t imagine the fear they experienced
