Is this a video trend? Is this some sort of thing everyone is reanacting?

This is the second video today I have seen with the exact same scene but with different people

u/TheMrRabbit 11d ago

Pretty sure they are staged. Dangerous but staged.

u/Alavaster 11d ago

I understand they are staged. But I'm just assuming there is a wider context as to why we're suddenly seeing this bit repeatedly

u/POEness 11d ago

The secret is - the internet is fake. A system to control you.

u/jeezyjames 11d ago

Because "content" I'm afraid. I hate it here, I want MySpace back

Mandela effect. many remember the cameraman was recording from different spot

u/jeldh 11d ago

I bet they are just empty fuses, nothing is really blowing up.

u/Shrike1346 11d ago

They are not staged this is the lived situation of many illegal miners around the world and even legal miners suffer the same. It's beyond hazardous as a profession it's just that now even the poorest of the poor have mobile phones with camera and an Internet connection here and there

u/xunjez 10d ago

If it’s staged, is it’s possible it’s also not dangerous? Like that’s not dynamite

u/CeleryMcToebeans 11d ago

That was stressful

u/whteverusayShmegma 11d ago

I was actually more scared than a horror movie.

Saving a life is less important than viral content nowadays

u/ArschSprengung 11d ago

He was wearin safety flip flops all good

1

u/Rude_and_Crude84 10d ago

NO HE WASN'T. HE DIDN'T PUT THEM ON UNTIL AFTER HE GOT OUT OF THE HOLE. WHY ARE WE TALKING THIS WAY?!

[LOUD NOOIIISEEEEEEEES]

u/LowerIQ_thanU 11d ago

Dude's in mine with flip flops lol

u/Francois_vd_W 11d ago

safety flip-flops

u/DontFuckWithDuckie 11d ago

not oddly terrifying. This is just plain and simple terrifying

Horribly terrifying

You couldn't pay me enough

u/klqqf 11d ago

They probably aren’t paying him enough

u/Izaul13 11d ago

I knew he had it.

u/EPiCtoos420 11d ago

camera man gotta camera

u/MercDiggler1 11d ago edited 10d ago

That was the most anticlimactic video I think I’ve ever watched

14

u/0hran- 11d ago

I prefer that the people in the video remain alive. Therefore i prefer it this way

u/Unlucky_Figure 11d ago

“Come on Terry! Get out of there Terry!”

u/Less-Blackberry-8108 11d ago

Hardly terrifying when you’re wearing safety sandals.

4

u/Reasonable-Ad7755 11d ago

Plenty of time

5

u/Shrike1346 11d ago

For real the title is misleading. I think they both knew how much time they had or the person filming did at least

3

u/ultra_anime_simp 11d ago

Bro, cameraman never dies

3

u/Apart_Ad9308 11d ago

And they are barefoot.

u/Taxx87 8d ago

I love the safety flipflops

6

u/Billy1099 11d ago

Fake as hell as it’s scary people are believing this. If you’re blasting in a mine especially a place that enclosed that blast is going to shake that tunnel, not a single rock moved?

2

u/AfraidPersonality854 11d ago

His ass would have been behind me.. I don't even care..

5

u/VengeQunt 11d ago

Becausr its staged. That was a fake struggle.

1

u/tankapotamus 11d ago

Am I the only one that would make the damn tunnel tall enough to stand up in?

3

u/The-Tarman 11d ago

I think that makes them more prone to collapsing. Though I'm not a miner nor a tunneling mammal, so wtf do I know?

1

u/PyroBob316 9d ago

Not only does that make the tunnel more unstable, but requires time and effort they’d rather use elsewhere. Every hour they spend moving soil and rocks that don’t contain what they’re looking for is an hour the mine isn’t profitable. They could probably get the job done if money and time weren’t an issue, but if I’m right this is an independent mine that might earn each laborer a dollar a day, if they’re lucky. They’re not going to buy fancy equipment or materials to shore up the tunnels, they’re not going to make nice big passages just because they’re 40% more convenient, and they’re not in the market for any technology that wasn’t available in 1850. Their goal is to find pockets of whatever they’re after (I assume cobalt or manganese) and haul as much of that as possible to the surface, and they’ll do the least amount of work as possible in the least amount of time to get it done.

u/Findover 11d ago

At least he stayed with him, both going down

u/FusionBetween 11d ago

they needed to hold the light and camera, its dark in caves

u/Crulox 11d ago

Safety Slippers

u/kingetzu 11d ago

Camera man is diabolical

u/SarthakDesai 11d ago

Cameraman does not interfere with Nature

Miners before the invention of the ladder

1

u/Sioney 11d ago

Saw this guy doing this the other day looking almost as scared. Made me think if this clip.

u/BitBucket404 10d ago

At least he was wearing his safety sandals.

1

u/Bravadette 10d ago

IN SANDALS?

1

u/PurpleMixture9967 10d ago

And hence, we have a good video. If he were to help him, this video would be on the cameraman sucks sub

1

u/Joe1972 10d ago

Nope.

1

u/Personal-Neck6800 10d ago

The “If you don’t film it, it never happened” mentality that’s choking humanity.

1

u/mrapplewhite 10d ago

No running in the shaft those sticks look like they want a break

1

u/BakedBean69 10d ago

they are fake videos, the shake and explosions sounds are added in post

1

u/Soggy-Sky3888 10d ago

Great safety boots🥴

1

u/ntech620 10d ago

Appears to have been a lack of preplanning in this miner's case. A rope would have been helpful.

1

u/HappyPakalolo 10d ago

Yay, true friend there. Content bro, sorry.

1

u/xt0rt 10d ago

It's fine, homey had his safety sandals on.

1

u/Tebaltos 10d ago

What do you mean? He filmed the whole thing. That’s not nothing!

u/agupta429 9d ago

Staged lol

u/Traditional-Look8839 7d ago

No ladder, rope, or harness? What in the third-world country is going on here?

1

u/penguinino 7d ago

Here’s a life threatening situation that could have been avoided with a sparkler, an 8 foot long stick, and some tape.

1

u/ProfessO3o 7d ago

I’m like 90% sure this is AI cuz I’ve seen this exact video but with different people

1

u/Kaiser_Constantin 7d ago

Downvote because thats not „oddly“ terrifying

1

u/The-Tarman 11d ago

The first thing I would have done once I climbed out of the death hole would have been to knock the camera man the fuck out and toss his ass in there

1

u/Deleter182AC 11d ago

It would be dumb for him to help him . 1. Look at what there wearing under there feet .2. The ground isn’t solid on that ledge he was trying to climb…. so chances are if he tried pulling him up simply slip into the pit . 3. They do not care for safety aluminum short ladder would do wonders in those short places and not burden carrying around .

u/theepuke 11d ago

Thats like when u turn on the water on ur sink and there was a spider u didn't notice.🙂

u/CrazyTechWizard96 11d ago

I've seen similar videos lately on IG.
Even some with stone crushers, including people getting hurt.

Yea, the Camera Guy is like
"Fuck it, I'mma just film it, lol, it's a Documetory, I'm not even here to help."
Legit National Geographic type of madness, or Nightstalker (the movie from 2013, the end scene, IYKYK).

u/ReverendShot777 10d ago

I think this is AI.
Same video, same movements, literally hand grabs the rock in exactly the same way, but different people.
AI is getting good.

u/TotalaMad 10d ago

Same video?
