Posted by fr00tCake I feel for the families, what an awful way to go. But NOT going with rain in the forecast is rule number one of tunneling. Not smart. Not smart at all...... |
Posted by Doug I guess it was to be expected... link |
Posted by EsseXploreR Tragedy aside, anyone notice how many anti-exploring articles have been coming out lately? We are all collectively being painted in a very bad light. The best of us are judged by the actions of the worst of us. It's really quite frustrating. |
Posted by fr00tCake Yup. I 100% blame YouTurd fucktards and the like.... |
Posted by Aran Word on the grapevine here in the Midwest was that these five had no affiliation with the local urbex community, and were in fact rookies- hence why they didn't realize that trying to run Triple Helix when thunderstorms had been forecasted for that night all week was borderline suicidal. Anyone with the slightest bit of experience in draining would've known better. That's where a lot of these tragedies are coming from- kids and college students who don't understand the danger running into these places, not members of the exploring community |

Posted by Doug I remember getting to an age... early 20s probably, and thinking "how did I live through my teens relatively unscathed?". Now that I have kids I can see it in them - they just don't have the ability to say "Maybe I shouldn't do that". I think there's a tidal wave (bad pun?) coming of these kinds of explorers. Continuing on from my previous comment, another thing I've noticed with quite a few tiktokkers is that they're really into shooting a short video than the explore - if you ask them if they saw the main feature quite often they're like "nah, we just shot a few videos in the main section and left". Not sure what my point was there in the end |
Posted by Steed They sound like they're learning from their elders on Instagram and YouTube. |
