The WORST Deaths In History - Vol.1

Hisashi was an incredibly strong man for struggling to live for his loved ones, regardless of the immeasurable pain he endured. I'm sure those 83 days felt like years.

"worst deaths in history??? that sounds awful" - proceeds to immediately watch.

There are others who were more radioactive than Hisashi but his death was by far the worst through sheer length of his torture.

Thank you for mentioning György Dózsa, for even his death. He was mainly romanticisied in Hungary during the communist era, a proletar who climbed the ladder going againts the ruling elite oppressing the common folk, he appeared on the 20 Forint bill along with a guy holding a hammer and a handful of grain. His rebellion was short, however his death shows the fear he put into the hearts of the nobelity. Teaching peasents early guerilla tactics and that their number was their greatest strength, he is still remembered and respected in Hungary for what he was. A man of the people.

Komarov's wife making them look at his remains and very strong of her. She made them have an open casket for him, and showed how much she hated them for their easily preventable death. It was pointed out to the higher ups that the whole thing wasnt ready - but they wanted it ready for the anniversary. He had told his wife before he went that he loved her and he basically knew he wasnt coming back alive

thank you for not talking about hisashi's doctors as if they were just some team of mad scientists who were torturing this man as a guinea pig for treatments. they were doing their job under pressures few people can even imagine, never mind understand, and like you said, he told them he wanted to try and fight it while he was still able to speak. the way people describe their attempts to treat this man and provide answers and hope for his family as some cruel, cold attempt to study an unusual case is truly disgraceful -- especially when reading about how kindly they spoke to his family and tried to ensure they had all the information the doctors did. it's a horrifying way to die, undoubtedly, but the doctors were only ever doing what they joined the medical field to do

Komarov's death was so avoidable, the parachute compartment was coated with a sticky resin resulting in the parachute sticking to it and not opening. Gagarin was scheduled to be launched a few days after Komarov and his capsule was also coated in the same resin and he would've died too.

Thank you for mentioning how Hitashi's story was exaggerated. There's also a picture floating around of a severely burned person meant to be him but it's not.

For anyone interested in more details and the more emotional side of Hisashi Ouchi's story: Wendigoon made a wonderful video about this situation. Definitely teared me up at some points.

Thank you for clearing up the misinformation on that image if you search up Hisashi's name. That's an image of a burn victim from a textbook

Generally I always believed starving to death was one of the worst ways to die, as of how constant it’s been throughout human history. No matter if through famines such as the Holodomor Great Leap Forward, or intentional starvation like Andersonville, you waste away into a living skeleton.

Another terrible death was in WW2 (I'm a huge history buff). A German fighter ace named Josef Pohs died in 1943 in the ME-163 Komet rocket aircraft. The plane had high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and mostly water. The fuel was very dangerous, as it could explode randomly. In 1943, Josef Pohs was flying his Komet. The dolly used to make the Komet take off went off the plane, but since the Komet was close to the ground, the dolly hit the Komet and caused one of the T-stoff fuel lines to rupture. Josef went to make an emergency landing, touched down on the rough ground, and flipped over his aircraft. The workers at the airfield were relieved that the aircraft didn't explode since the fuel was so explosive, but when they turned the Komet, they saw the T-stoff leaking from the ruptured line, and Josef dissolved alive while he was unconscious. (Put this in a video maybe??)

the story of Hisashi makes me so sad, cause his family really thought he could recover from his chromosomes basically being corrupted, and I feel so hard for him and his family

I am so glad I found this channel. The music and author's story telling are spot on. My all time favorite video of the author's so far, is the Battle of Stalingrad. It's a perfect historian's bed time story. Thank you Disturban for your good work.

Love your straight up, factual, well researched and presented vids. Thanks 💙

as soon as you said pics of burn victims have been attached to hisashi ouchi story, i knew it instantly that you have spent considerable amount of research into it. thank you for doing that.👍

You're videos are factual, interesting and devoid of hype and sensationalization. I glad you hit my feed today.

The Astronaut/Cosmonaut death/s that disturbed and depressed me by far the most was Apollo 1. They didn't even launch or plan to; it was a training exercise; but entire crew was cooked alive. 😱 If I'm gonna die for a space program, I better be in or on my way to space damnit!

Wendigoon's video on Hisashi is great yet horrifying. There is a very slight possibility that he felt everything. Which would mean he would feel himself decomposing. His wife never let him see her cry, and she only cried when he died.

hiyashi wasnt actually the person to receive the most one time dose of radiation ever. he is up there on the list of most, but his story is most significant because of the medical trials. the most radiated person ever died just a couple days after exposure
