Is that... Saddam Hussein?

[–] wetsoggybread@lemmy.world 45 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (5 children)

Close, its related to the nutty putty cave rescue in which John Jones fell head first into a hole while cave crawling, got stuck, and couldn't be rescued and died stuck upside down

Guy gets trapped and dies in a horrifying way.

Have a look around

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Goddammit this comes back to haunt me like once a year, I swear.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

First time I heard about it a few years ago I couldn't stop thinking about it for like a week. It was his fault, he used very bad judgement, but nobody deserves to die in such a horrible way.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I think about his two kids and wife as well, since I have a family of my own. Poor wife also endures online harassment apparently, since she remarried. So cruel.

If it's any consolation, they managed to get an IV in his leg and got him some anxiety and pain meds to make it a little easier.

[–] emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If they got to him before he died, why couldn't they pull him out?

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

This was his situation.

There wasn't enough room to pull him out, even with pulleys. IIRC, he died within about 36 hours so there wasn't enough time to drill him out or something like that.

Cavers weird me out man. Its one thing to explore a cave you can walk around in, but like why go through passage that's barely big enough to fit through on your stomach?

[–] Admetus@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He went the wrong way thinking it was a mapped area that involved a narrow passageway to a larger space. So you can go with confidence knowing there's an out.

Trouble is, he falsely identified and went down the wrong passageway, and moreover slid too far in.

[–] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

No only that but he was way too big to be navigating those passages in the first place. Just a lot of bone headed decisions made by that guy.

In the same category of 'Guy is underground and is going to die soon'

[–] wetsoggybread@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's a body underground innit?

[–] Saapas@piefed.zip 3 points 2 days ago

So is my gramps but not really close to that

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

Thanks for the nightmare fuel

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago

I think it's that guy that climbed into a cave in a space that he could not be extracted from.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This was a trial hiding spot

[–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The trial did not go well.

[–] wetsoggybread@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Trial period went so well he decided to stay forever

[–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 34 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This is my bishop-hole

It was dug for me

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Drr drrr drrr

So Saddam died from playing chess.

[–] Delphon@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 3 days ago

This post is traumatizing

[–] MeatPilot@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's the flogged bishop's pee hole.

All you had to do was not say that you know

[–] schmorpel@slrpnk.net 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Are we asking the wrong questions here? Should we ask instead why the bishop is shaped like a butt plug?

I thought it was screaming, and for a moment it made sense.
