1. Did you know death is like a
Copy !req
2. really bad cold?
Copy !req
3. There's no known cure,
Copy !req
4. That's bad news for the girl
Copy !req
5. with the long, long legs,
Copy !req
6. Or the guy who tried to
Copy !req
7. recycle...
Copy !req
8. himself,
Copy !req
9. And the escaped prisoner who
Copy !req
10. wound up beached and leeched,
Copy !req
11. Then there's the guy with the
Copy !req
12. snake up his Butt,
Copy !req
13. And the fish story that'll leave
Copy !req
14. you gagging,
Copy !req
15. Take two aspirin and call me in
Copy !req
16. the morning,
Copy !req
17. It's the next episode of
Copy !req
18. 1,000 ways to die,
Copy !req
19. Death is everywhere,
Copy !req
20. Most of us try to avoid it,
Copy !req
21. others can't get out of its way,
Copy !req
22. Every day we fight a new war
Copy !req
23. against germs, toxins, injury,
Copy !req
24. illness, and catastrophe,
Copy !req
25. There's a lot of ways to wind up
Copy !req
26. dead,
Copy !req
27. The fact that we survive at all
Copy !req
28. is a Miracle,
Copy !req
29. Because every day we live, we
Copy !req
30. face 1,000 ways to die,
Copy !req
31. Tracy was getting ready for
Copy !req
32. another honest Night's work,
Copy !req
33. As a las vegas showgirl, her
Copy !req
34. long, shapely legs were her meal
Copy !req
35. ticket,
Copy !req
36. Working all night and sleeping
Copy !req
37. most of the day didn't leave
Copy !req
38. much time for mundane tasks like
Copy !req
39. shopping,
Copy !req
40. Ow,
Copy !req
41. Oh,
Copy !req
42. When Tracy cut herself with
Copy !req
43. an old, Rusty razor blade, her
Copy !req
44. death clock started ticking,
Copy !req
45. The blade that cut her skin had
Copy !req
46. a nasty bacteria on it called
Copy !req
47. group a strep,
Copy !req
48. It's the same kind of
Copy !req
49. bacteria, streptococcus, that
Copy !req
50. causes a strep throat,
Copy !req
51. But there are certain strains
Copy !req
52. that have a particular toxin
Copy !req
53. that makes them more prone to
Copy !req
54. causing these necrotizing
Copy !req
55. infections,
Copy !req
56. A "necrotizing infection" is
Copy !req
57. just a fancy way to say
Copy !req
58. "flesh-Eating disease,"
Copy !req
59. And a few days later, Tracy got
Copy !req
60. a rude awakening,
Copy !req
61. Oh, my god,
Copy !req
62. Oh, my face!
Copy !req
63. Holy crap,
Copy !req
64. This particular bacteria can
Copy !req
65. progress very quickly,
Copy !req
66. It can happen over a matter of
Copy !req
67. hours,
Copy !req
68. You can go from being perfectly
Copy !req
69. healthy to having a
Copy !req
70. limb-Threatening or even
Copy !req
71. life-Threatening infection,
Copy !req
72. The bacteria traveled through
Copy !req
73. her body and wound up breaking
Copy !req
74. through a pimple, and eating its
Copy !req
75. way across her face,
Copy !req
76. By the time Tracy wound up in
Copy !req
77. the hospital it was too late,
Copy !req
78. The infection had spread
Copy !req
79. throughout her body, causing
Copy !req
80. septic shock,
Copy !req
81. In a city that never sleeps,
Copy !req
82. Tracy the leggy showgirl went
Copy !req
83. lights out,
Copy !req
84. Jake believed that any day now
Copy !req
85. humanity would be wiped out in
Copy !req
86. some cataclysmic event,
Copy !req
87. He was determined to survive,
Copy !req
88. come hell or high water,
Copy !req
89. Living off the grid, alone and
Copy !req
90. isolated, Jake spent every
Copy !req
91. waking hour in a state of
Copy !req
92. paranoia,
Copy !req
93. He patrolled his land for any
Copy !req
94. intruder who might threaten his
Copy !req
95. space,
Copy !req
96. It was a job that required
Copy !req
97. constant vigilance,
Copy !req
98. While draining the snake in his
Copy !req
99. hand, Jake failed to see the one
Copy !req
100. in the bush,
Copy !req
101. Like a devil in disguise, a
Copy !req
102. six-Foot speckled King Snake
Copy !req
103. went straight for Jake's rifle,
Copy !req
104. Snakes'll often find
Copy !req
105. someplace warm to help heat
Copy !req
106. their body up,
Copy !req
107. And, uh, that way they can
Copy !req
108. digest their food,
Copy !req
109. Snakes don't make their own heat
Copy !req
110. inside, so they need to get
Copy !req
111. outside heat,
Copy !req
112. The snake wrapped itself
Copy !req
113. around the Butt of Jake's gun
Copy !req
114. and through the trigger loop as
Copy !req
115. Jake made sure not to let the
Copy !req
116. last drops go down his pants,
Copy !req
117. Those few extra Shakes would
Copy !req
118. prove fateful,
Copy !req
119. Uh!
Copy !req
120. Maybe the snake got spooked
Copy !req
121. by Jake and tensed up around the
Copy !req
122. trigger,
Copy !req
123. Maybe the snake was sent to
Copy !req
124. deliver a message,
Copy !req
125. But what's clear is the snake
Copy !req
126. managed to pull the trigger
Copy !req
127. right when the gun was pointed
Copy !req
128. at Jake's heart,
Copy !req
129. Snakes definitely like to
Copy !req
130. kinda wiggle into tight places,
Copy !req
131. and it may have just been
Copy !req
132. wrapped around the, uh, trigger
Copy !req
133. of the gun,
Copy !req
134. The bullet blasted a
Copy !req
135. four-Inch hole into Jake's
Copy !req
136. breast bone, piercing his heart,
Copy !req
137. Death was instantaneous,
Copy !req
138. In the end, Jake successfully
Copy !req
139. avoided the apocalypse by
Copy !req
140. Permanently isolating himself
Copy !req
141. from humanity,
Copy !req
142. But he never learned that if the
Copy !req
143. barbarians at the gate don't get
Copy !req
144. ya, the snake in the grass will,
Copy !req
145. Next up...
Copy !req
146. Escaped female prisoner learns
Copy !req
147. the hard way... Leeches suck,
Copy !req
148. Then, a mentally challenged
Copy !req
149. thief takes himself out with the
Copy !req
150. trash,
Copy !req
151. Carmen is a very bad girl,
Copy !req
152. A notorious crystal meth dealer
Copy !req
153. and convicted murderer, she was
Copy !req
154. sent to a texas prison with no
Copy !req
155. chance of parole,
Copy !req
156. She decided to take her own
Copy !req
157. chances, and busted out,
Copy !req
158. If she could make it across the
Copy !req
159. border into mexico, she'd be
Copy !req
160. home free,
Copy !req
161. But that was a long shot,
Copy !req
162. And the prison guards chasing
Copy !req
163. her were very good shots,
Copy !req
164. With no place left to run, she
Copy !req
165. hit the ice-Cold water,
Copy !req
166. But without knowing it, Carmen
Copy !req
167. had jumped out of the frying pan
Copy !req
168. and into the fire... Straight into
Copy !req
169. the clutches of a hidden enemy,
Copy !req
170. Leeches,
Copy !req
171. If you're... Like, for this
Copy !req
172. prisoner who's running through
Copy !req
173. the... the swamp, it's the perfect
Copy !req
174. place,
Copy !req
175. They're ambushers, they can
Copy !req
176. smell and feel the body heat,
Copy !req
177. and it's lunch,
Copy !req
178. And they'll swim very fast and
Copy !req
179. attach themselves almost
Copy !req
180. immediately, and within three
Copy !req
181. seconds they're drawing blood,
Copy !req
182. The lake was a chilly 55
Copy !req
183. degrees,
Copy !req
184. A half an hour would send Carmen
Copy !req
185. into a state of hypothermia,
Copy !req
186. A minute turned to ten, while
Copy !req
187. the sharpshooters carefully
Copy !req
188. scanned the area,
Copy !req
189. Carmen's breathing became quick
Copy !req
190. and shallow,
Copy !req
191. Her blood vessels constricted,
Copy !req
192. and her limbs became numb,
Copy !req
193. It was the perfect cover for the
Copy !req
194. leeches, who are made to suck
Copy !req
195. blood undetected,
Copy !req
196. They have an anticoagulant in
Copy !req
197. the saliva, and also a pain
Copy !req
198. killer, so you don't feel them
Copy !req
199. attaching, and you don't feel
Copy !req
200. the blood flowing,
Copy !req
201. So even when the Leech is full...
Copy !req
202. I would say 10 to 15 to 20 ccs
Copy !req
203. of blood, it falls off, you're
Copy !req
204. still going to Leak another five
Copy !req
205. to ten ccs of blood,
Copy !req
206. They'll literally drain you out
Copy !req
207. of blood,
Copy !req
208. After 45 minutes, Carmen was
Copy !req
209. finally able to crawl out of the
Copy !req
210. water,
Copy !req
211. Soon she'd be safe in Mexico,
Copy !req
212. mixing up new batches of devil's
Copy !req
213. brew... Methamphetamine,
Copy !req
214. But Carmen's Karma is about to
Copy !req
215. bite back,
Copy !req
216. She's so drained of blood from
Copy !req
217. the leeches feeding on her body,
Copy !req
218. she's too weak to move,
Copy !req
219. If she doesn't die from a
Copy !req
220. lack of blood or loss of blood,
Copy !req
221. she would die of exposure,
Copy !req
222. Too weak,
Copy !req
223. Couldn't even call for help
Copy !req
224. eventually, she'd just die of
Copy !req
225. exposure and she'd become a...
Copy !req
226. Basically a blowfly picnic,
Copy !req
227. wouldn't she?
Copy !req
228. Griff's an urban
Copy !req
229. Hunter-Gatherer,
Copy !req
230. The kind who mostly gathers
Copy !req
231. other peoples' stuff,
Copy !req
232. Knowing the security guard is on
Copy !req
233. his fourth coffee break, it was
Copy !req
234. time for griff to strike,
Copy !req
235. But even a rent-a-Cop can
Copy !req
236. sometimes stumble onto a perp,
Copy !req
237. Hey!
Copy !req
238. Hey!
Copy !req
239. Are you kidding me, man?
Copy !req
240. C'mere!
Copy !req
241. Hey!
Copy !req
242. C'mere!
Copy !req
243. Sometimes a desperate
Copy !req
244. dumpster dive is the only way
Copy !req
245. out,
Copy !req
246. Hidden underneath yesterday's
Copy !req
247. lunch, griff has once again
Copy !req
248. eluded the man,
Copy !req
249. But not the machine,
Copy !req
250. While he was getting cozy with
Copy !req
251. the cockroaches, fate turned his
Copy !req
252. world upside-Down,
Copy !req
253. Aah!
Copy !req
254. Hey!
Copy !req
255. Aah!
Copy !req
256. Falling on his head has left
Copy !req
257. griff groggy and disoriented,
Copy !req
258. A second load pins him down,
Copy !req
259. compactors create about
Copy !req
260. 64,000 pounds or 32 tons of
Copy !req
261. pressure to crunch and collapse,
Copy !req
262. uh, debris,
Copy !req
263. the first thing that happens
Copy !req
264. is that you can't breathe
Copy !req
265. because the external forces
Copy !req
266. disallow expansion of the chest,
Copy !req
267. once in the clutches of the
Copy !req
268. compactor, griff's bones will
Copy !req
269. start snapping one-By-One,
Copy !req
270. Eventually his vital organs will
Copy !req
271. burst from the severe pressure,
Copy !req
272. Ostensibly there's
Copy !req
273. disintegration of every known
Copy !req
274. structure in the human body,
Copy !req
275. Aah!
Copy !req
276. If he's lucky, he'll have
Copy !req
277. lost consciousness by then,
Copy !req
278. By the time they finally
Copy !req
279. discovered what was left of his
Copy !req
280. body, it probably would just be
Copy !req
281. mopped up with a sponge,
Copy !req
282. There you go,
Copy !req
283. A new way to reform a criminal,
Copy !req
284. Come to mama!
Copy !req
285. Coming up...
Copy !req
286. a fish tale that's hard to
Copy !req
287. swallow,
Copy !req
288. and...
Copy !req
289. what are you doing?
Copy !req
290. An ex-Con sticks it where the
Copy !req
291. sun don't shine, and doesn't
Copy !req
292. live to regret it,
Copy !req
293. what's the matter with you?
Copy !req
294. Ah, the great outdoors,
Copy !req
295. Where else can you enjoy a hot
Copy !req
296. Chick and a pole without blowing
Copy !req
297. your paycheck?
Copy !req
298. Kathy is every outdoorsman's
Copy !req
299. dream... a super sexy, pint-Sized
Copy !req
300. Daisy Duke who digs fishing,
Copy !req
301. Any guy would love to pull this
Copy !req
302. Spinner out of their tackle box,
Copy !req
303. Come to mama,
Copy !req
304. The problem was Kathy was no
Copy !req
305. angler,
Copy !req
306. She couldn't even catch a cold,
Copy !req
307. In all her days spent fishing,
Copy !req
308. she had yet to catch a fish,
Copy !req
309. So far, today was like all
Copy !req
310. others,
Copy !req
311. Cast after cast, the only thing
Copy !req
312. she reeled in was frustration,
Copy !req
313. What is this?
Copy !req
314. Kathy's bad day took a turn
Copy !req
315. for the better,
Copy !req
316. It started with a nibble,
Copy !req
317. Yes!
Copy !req
318. The nibble turned into a
Copy !req
319. bite,
Copy !req
320. Come on,
Copy !req
321. Oh, come on,
Copy !req
322. Oh, come on,
Copy !req
323. And finally, she had her
Copy !req
324. first fish on the line,
Copy !req
325. You're not getting away,
Copy !req
326. Come to mama!
Copy !req
327. She gave one last terrific
Copy !req
328. pull, and her fish was on the
Copy !req
329. hook and in the air,
Copy !req
330. What happened next makes This
Copy !req
331. fish tale one for the books,
Copy !req
332. Kathy's fish came soaring out of
Copy !req
333. the sky, into her wide-Open
Copy !req
334. mouth...
Copy !req
335. and lodged itself deep down
Copy !req
336. her throat,
Copy !req
337. The outside of a fish is
Copy !req
338. composed of thousands of scales,
Copy !req
339. which are like individual
Copy !req
340. plates,
Copy !req
341. On the outside of the plates are
Copy !req
342. bony spines, which will dig into
Copy !req
343. anything that grabs hold,
Copy !req
344. the more she pulled, the more
Copy !req
345. its scales dug into the walls of
Copy !req
346. her throat...
Copy !req
347. choking her to death,
Copy !req
348. In the end, Kathy was the one
Copy !req
349. that got away,
Copy !req
350. Damn, baby, you're like the
Copy !req
351. best thing I've seen in three
Copy !req
352. years,
Copy !req
353. I bet,
Copy !req
354. Out on parole, with $200 to
Copy !req
355. his name, Levinson was ready to
Copy !req
356. live it up on his first night of
Copy !req
357. freedom,
Copy !req
358. So, like any sensible man Who
Copy !req
359. knows where True happiness lies,
Copy !req
360. he bought himself a bottle of
Copy !req
361. Jack, rented himself a fancy
Copy !req
362. suv, and got himself a Hooker,
Copy !req
363. All I got is 50,
Copy !req
364. Think of this as a Charity,
Copy !req
365. All right,
Copy !req
366. Lucky Levinson was about to
Copy !req
367. receive a blue ball special,
Copy !req
368. You're an Angel,
Copy !req
369. Oh, I've been waiting three long
Copy !req
370. years for this,
Copy !req
371. Lost in the romance of the
Copy !req
372. moment, Levinson didn't notice a
Copy !req
373. cop car pulling up until he had
Copy !req
374. already pulled his pants down,
Copy !req
375. Oh, crap,
Copy !req
376. Take this,
Copy !req
377. What is that?
Copy !req
378. It's Pepper spray,
Copy !req
379. Take it,
Copy !req
380. No!
Copy !req
381. It's a parole violation,
Copy !req
382. I go back for two years for
Copy !req
383. this,
Copy !req
384. What are you doing?
Copy !req
385. Levinson had a can of Pepper
Copy !req
386. spray in plain view on the
Copy !req
387. console of his car,
Copy !req
388. And in the panic to hide it, the
Copy !req
389. ex-Con followed his instincts,
Copy !req
390. and shoved the contraband into
Copy !req
391. the first place he could think
Copy !req
392. of...
Copy !req
393. up his Keister,
Copy !req
394. What's going on here?
Copy !req
395. Nothing, Officer,
Copy !req
396. Just me and my wife talking,
Copy !req
397. Your wife?
Copy !req
398. Yes, my wife,
Copy !req
399. If that's your wife, I'm the
Copy !req
400. emperor of China,
Copy !req
401. Nice to meet you, emperor,
Copy !req
402. Get outta the car,
Copy !req
403. Got nothing better to do?
Copy !req
404. Get outta the car,
Copy !req
405. They say that when you get
Copy !req
406. pulled over, your first
Copy !req
407. impression dictates your odds of
Copy !req
408. avoiding trouble,
Copy !req
409. Exiting a vehicle with your
Copy !req
410. pants around your ankles and a
Copy !req
411. half-Pint of booze on your
Copy !req
412. breath... Not a good start,
Copy !req
413. Are you under the influence?
Copy !req
414. A little bit,
Copy !req
415. A little bit?
Copy !req
416. A little bit!
Copy !req
417. Hey!
Copy !req
418. Aah!
Copy !req
419. what's the matter?
Copy !req
420. When the cop shoved Levinson
Copy !req
421. against the truck, it set off a
Copy !req
422. raging can of Pepper Spray
Copy !req
423. inside his bunghole,
Copy !req
424. Oh, my god, it hurts!
Copy !req
425. What's going on?
Copy !req
426. When someone has Pepper spray
Copy !req
427. sprayed in their face, it
Copy !req
428. typically is in an open
Copy !req
429. environment,
Copy !req
430. When Pepper spray will go off
Copy !req
431. in, say, a closed Colon, there's
Copy !req
432. nowhere for that Pepper to
Copy !req
433. diffuse, so it's just constantly
Copy !req
434. gonna be irritating that lining,
Copy !req
435. causing more and more damage
Copy !req
436. getting close to the lining,
Copy !req
437. probably causing more severe
Copy !req
438. damage than, say, if you sprayed
Copy !req
439. it in someone's eyes or nose,
Copy !req
440. The hell is wrong with this
Copy !req
441. guy?
Copy !req
442. You'll figure it out,
Copy !req
443. I am so out of here,
Copy !req
444. What's going on?
Copy !req
445. What the hell's going on?
Copy !req
446. crime doesn't pay, But the
Copy !req
447. criminal does,
Copy !req
448. For Levinson, first he put up,
Copy !req
449. then he paid up,
Copy !req
450. Up next...
Copy !req
451. we all know that war sucks, but
Copy !req
452. what happened to one unlucky
Copy !req
453. navy man that really sucked?
Copy !req
454. Throughout history, if you
Copy !req
455. really wanted to tempt death,
Copy !req
456. you went to war,
Copy !req
457. In 1991, jd bridges was part of
Copy !req
458. Desert storm in the
Copy !req
459. persian gulf,
Copy !req
460. I went into the navy two
Copy !req
461. weeks after I graduated high
Copy !req
462. school in June of '88,
Copy !req
463. They told me that I was gonna be
Copy !req
464. on the catapults and arresting
Copy !req
465. gear on the flight deck of a
Copy !req
466. Carrier,
Copy !req
467. Stationed on the
Copy !req
468. U, S, S, Roosevelt, jd became a
Copy !req
469. member of the crew responsible
Copy !req
470. for landing and launching all
Copy !req
471. the aircraft on the massive
Copy !req
472. flight deck,
Copy !req
473. We launched a-6 intruders,
Copy !req
474. f-14s, f-18s, s-3s, e-2s...
Copy !req
475. we didn't have a day and a night
Copy !req
476. crew; there was one crew,
Copy !req
477. We didn't get but about two
Copy !req
478. hours' sleep a day,
Copy !req
479. To dominate the airspace over
Copy !req
480. iraq, the rooseveltwas running
Copy !req
481. missions 24/7,
Copy !req
482. And we was launching alert
Copy !req
483. aircraft just to always have
Copy !req
484. planes in the air, and it was
Copy !req
485. about 3:00 in the morning,
Copy !req
486. everybody on the flight deck was
Copy !req
487. tired and fatigued because we
Copy !req
488. only had one ship,
Copy !req
489. Preparing an a-6 intruder for
Copy !req
490. takeoff, jd stepped too close to
Copy !req
491. one of its engines,
Copy !req
492. The air intake sucked him in
Copy !req
493. like a rag doll,
Copy !req
494. It was basically an "Oh,
Copy !req
495. " moment,
Copy !req
496. I'm in big danger, but it...
Copy !req
497. There's nothing you can do about
Copy !req
498. it, as you can see,
Copy !req
499. But jd was still inside the
Copy !req
500. running jet engine,
Copy !req
501. It ripped his helmet off and
Copy !req
502. shot it through the combustion
Copy !req
503. chamber,
Copy !req
504. The force of the air rushing
Copy !req
505. through the intake pulled the
Copy !req
506. air outta my lungs so I couldn't
Copy !req
507. breathe,
Copy !req
508. They shut down the plane, and my
Copy !req
509. air came back to me,
Copy !req
510. I started breathing,
Copy !req
511. I knew I had to get outta there,
Copy !req
512. so I crawled out, and took about
Copy !req
513. two steps and I blacked out and
Copy !req
514. woke up in medical,
Copy !req
515. Jd escaped death with
Copy !req
516. amazingly moderate injuries,
Copy !req
517. I had a broken collarbone,
Copy !req
518. uh, I had to get ten stitches
Copy !req
519. above my eye,
Copy !req
520. I've got a couple little pieces
Copy !req
521. of steel that got lodged into my
Copy !req
522. body, but it's nothing major,
Copy !req
523. Fate, luck, or Miracle?
Copy !req
524. Jd Bridges is one serviceman who
Copy !req
525. can count some major blessings,
Copy !req
526. I guess it can be considered
Copy !req
527. a Miracle for the simple fact I
Copy !req
528. should've died and didn't, so
Copy !req
529. therefore I-I think everybody
Copy !req
530. has a purpose in life, and it
Copy !req
531. just wasn't my time to go,
Copy !req
532. I've got a purpose, and
Copy !req
533. somewhere down the road I'll
Copy !req
534. find it,
Copy !req
