00:00On August 7th, 2016, at the Schlitterbahn water park in Kansas City, Kansas, a summer day of fun turned into horror.
00:07The park opened like any other, alive with the sounds of families, laughter, and rushing water.
00:13But inside the towering frame of the Veracht waterslide, tragedy was about to unfold.
00:18Veracht, meaning insane in German, had opened just two years earlier, in July 2014.
00:25At 168 feet, 7 inches tall, higher than Niagara Falls, it was marketed as a record-breaking thrill ride that would push boundaries.
00:33That morning, among the park's visitors, was 10-year-old Caleb Schwab, son of Kansas State Representative Scott Schwab.
00:43Caleb boarded the ride with two adult women he had never met, as the slide required groups of three to evenly distribute the raft's weight.
00:50But on that day, the balance wasn't enough.
00:55As the raft plunged down the near-vertical drop, it picked up more speed than it could safely handle.
01:24On the second hill, it lifted completely off the slide, a flaw that had already been flagged during safety tests.
01:30Caleb was thrown from his seat and struck a metal support bar for the overhead safety net, killing him instantly.
01:37The impact was so violent it decapitated him.
01:39The two women riding with him suffered severe facial injuries, including a broken jaw and multiple fractures, but survived.
01:46The slide was designed by John Schooley, with input from Jeff Henry, co-owner of Schlitterbahn.
01:52The project had been rushed to meet a self-imposed deadline, partly so it could be featured on a Travel Channel special.
01:58The prototype was built in just 36 days, without input from licensed engineers.
02:03Even before it opened, warning signs were clear.
02:05By 2014, at least 13 riders had been injured, some in incidents where rafts went airborne.
02:13Yet the slide continued to operate.
02:14I don't know why people think this is a criminal case.
02:17It makes no sense to me that it's a criminal case.
02:19It's just not.
02:21Investigators later uncovered a disturbing pattern of negligence.
02:24Internal tests from 2014 revealed that the rafts were prone to going airborne, and accelerometers and test runs had issued warnings of potential serious injuries.
02:34Warnings that were ignored.
02:35Just three weeks before the tragedy, the ride's braking system was flagged as faulty.
02:40In 10 days prior to Caleb's death, it had already failed.
02:44Despite this, operations manager Tyler Miles refused to shut the slide down.
02:48He was later accused of covering up previous injuries, including incidents involving the very raft Caleb had ridden.
02:54The bigger picture was even more troubling.
02:56Emails showed that Jeff Henry had imposed unrealistic deadlines, and lead designer John Schooley had signed off on false safety certifications.
03:04It became clear that profit and publicity had been prioritized over human safety.
03:09In 2017, the Schwab family settled for nearly $20 million, receiving payments from multiple parties,
03:15including the water park, and companies involved in the ride's construction.
03:19Then, in 2018, a grand jury filed criminal charges.
03:24Jeff Henry, John Schooley, Tyler Miles, and the park itself were indicted on counts,
03:30including second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, and reckless endangerment.
03:35However, in February 2019, Judge Robert Burns dismissed the charges,
03:40ruling that the prosecution had presented misleading evidence,
03:43including dramatized footage created for television that could have biased the jury.
03:48The dismissal sparked widespread outrage, with many believing justice had not been served,
03:53and the responsible parties had escaped accountability.
03:56Meanwhile, the Verricht slide never reopened.
04:00Its demolition began quietly in November 2018, and was completed within two months.
04:05Today, the site is being redeveloped into a multiport complex.
04:09What happened to Caleb Schwab was not a freak accident.
04:13It was the tragic result of rushed deadlines, ignored safety warnings, and a cover-up of critical failures.
04:19But I think you and your attorneys believe that negligence caused the site of an accident.
04:23Oh, yeah, yeah. It's an accident.
04:25But there's an accounting, because someone was negligent.
04:28There's times where you're just like, I can't look at that right now.
04:31Yeah.
04:32Then there's other times, you know, you can't sleep, you want to look at it.
04:35What do you miss most about Caleb?
04:38Giving him hugs.
04:39Hugs?
04:40A child's life was taken, not by chance, but because responsible adults who should have intervened,
04:46chose to look the other way.
04:48And to this day, no one has been held fully accountable.
04:51On a calm summer evening in June 2021, in the normally peaceful town of Holly Springs, Georgia,
04:59just 35 miles north of Atlanta, where life typically follows a predictable rhythm,
05:03an ordinary traffic stop unexpectedly escalated into a tragic event no one could have anticipated.
05:10That night, two officers were on duty.
05:36Sergeant Andrew Drake, a veteran of the department, and Officer Joe Buren,
05:41just 25 years old and still early in his career, but respected for his discipline and steady demeanor.
05:47Sergeant Drake initiated a traffic stop after clocking a vehicle at 72 Mbph in a 40 zone,
05:53blowing through the intersection at Harmony Lake Drive.
05:56It should have been routine.
05:57A ticket, maybe a warning, but the man behind the wheel was no ordinary driver.
06:01He was 29-year-old Annie Dolce, a known member of the Violent Money Murder Gang, a subset of the Bloods.
06:08Dolce was on parole for robbery in New York, facing an open domestic violence case in Illinois,
06:14and had been off the radar for nearly two years after removing his GPS ankle monitor.
06:19The U.S. Marshals had been tracking him for weeks,
06:22including surveillance near his mother's home in Waleska, Georgia, just days earlier.
06:27During the stop, Dolce gave a false name, his brother's, and could not produce a driver's license.
06:33The officer smelled a strong odor of marijuana,
06:36and in plain view saw several labeled baggies, along with a canister of leafy green material.
06:42It was clear he was hiding something.
06:44Dolce stepped out of the car, repeatedly asking to call his mother or an attorney,
06:48requests Officer Buren denied.
06:50When Sergeant Drake moved to arrest him, events took a deadly turn.
06:54How come you have a fleet tag over the registration sticker?
06:58You advise 73 of 93, 73 of 93?
07:01Who's your aunt from?
07:02Hertz.
07:03Hertz.
07:03Okay.
07:067-23-93.
07:17Don't call my mom.
07:19Sorry?
07:20Can you call my mom, please?
07:21Uh, not right now.
07:24If you're being honest with us, we'll get you out of here shortly.
07:31After we're done, though.
07:32Is there a lawyer?
07:33Sure, you just have a six-week code for it.
07:35Not at the moment, no.
07:37Oh, boy.
07:38Why do you need a lawyer if what you're telling us is true?
07:41Because you guys are about to arrest me.
07:43Why?
07:4323-18.
07:45Sorry?
07:46I know the drill.
07:46You said you smell pot, so you're going to search the car, so you're going to arrest me and detain me.
07:50Is there pot in there?
07:51How much?
07:56No, no, no.
07:57Just, no.
07:58Stop.
07:59Stop.
08:00Go back.
08:00I'm sorry.
08:01I was going to the car.
08:02You're going to the car.
08:03You're going to the car.
08:06Get on the ground!
08:11Get on the ground!
08:13Stay on the ground!
08:14Comptown, touchdown.
08:21Comptown, 49, 59, 49, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45.
08:26Where do you count seven?
08:27Get it.
08:27Get it by your bag!
08:28Get it by your bag!
08:31Get it by your bag!
08:33Carry on unit.
08:35Get it by your bag!
08:36Without warning, Dolce lunged back into his car, threw it into gear and sped off, dragging
08:53Officer Buren who was partially caught through the driver's window.
08:57The vehicle surged forward for nearly 1,000 feet, gaining speed as Buren clung on, trapped
09:02between duty and survival.
09:04In those desperate final moments, Buren drew his weapon and fired multiple shots into
09:08the car, striking Dolce.
09:10The vehicle swerved off the road and crashed into a guardrail.
09:34The vehicle swerved off the road and crashed into a guardrail.
09:42The vehicle swerved off the ground, H-29, up to 2,000 feet.
09:46Check now unit. What unit was that was it? 16 or 17?
09:572. I'm clear. 17 and 29. Degree at Harmony. Degree at Harmony.
10:03Officer Buren, likely mortally injured in the initial impact, was rushed to the hospital, but later pronounced dead.
10:25Dolce, struck multiple times by gunfire, dies shortly after at a nearby medical facility.
10:31The Georgia Bureau of Investigation conducted an exhaustive review, resulting in a two-on-51-page report that deemed Buren's use of deadly force justified under state law.
10:41The district attorney noted that had Dolce survived, he would have faced charges including felony murder, aggravated assault, obstruction, and numerous other offenses stemming from his attempt to flee.
10:52There were no official reparations or large city settlements, but the local community raised roughly $90,000 through a PayPal campaign for Buren's grieving family.
11:04What should have been a routine traffic stop, resolved with nothing more than paperwork, ended in tragedy.
11:10Officer Joe Buren, there simply as backup, never made it home.
11:14And the man who had spent years evading justice chose flight over surrender, sealing both of their fates in under a minute.
11:20In a quiet moment afterward, Sergeant Drake said Buren had saved his life, and that not a day passes without the weight of that memory.
11:28Because sometimes, it takes only one stop, one choice, and one second for everything to fall apart.
11:34On May 26, 2013, off the coast of Nigeria, the tugboat JASCON 4 was carrying out a routine task, stabilizing an oil tanker in Atlantic waters, when, without warning, disaster struck.
11:47Whether caused by a rogue wave or sudden mechanical failure remains uncertain, but the outcome was swift and catastrophic.
11:55The vessel capsized within seconds, plunging nearly 100 feet before coming to rest upside down on the ocean floor.
12:02Eleven crew members were aboard, and none were expected to survive.
12:05Three days later, on May 29, South African saturation divers from DC and Global were sent to inspect the wreck, and recover what they believed would be only bodies.
12:16Instead, inside the dark, overturned hull of the JASCON 4, they found something no one could have imagined.
12:23Sealing, yeah?
12:24Sealing, yeah?
12:24Sealing, yeah?
12:25Okay.
12:27What's that?
12:27What's that?
12:28Okay.
12:29All right, you found one, yeah?
12:31He's alive, he's alive.
12:33Okay, keep him there, keep him there.
12:35All right.
12:36Just, just, all right.
12:39Hold him there, okay?
12:40Just keep him there.
12:44All right, just keep him there, keep him calm, okay?
12:48All right, just reassure him, pat him on the shoulder.
12:53All right, let's, let's get that hat on his head so we can reduce the CO2, please.
13:12He wants to keep calm, okay?
13:14Are you feeling okay?
13:16Are you sore?
13:18Have you got any injuries?
13:22Okay.
13:22What's your name?
13:28Harrison.
13:29Okay, Harrison.
13:30My name is Colby.
13:34Again, I'm going to bring you home, okay?
13:37And the diver that's helped you now, his name is Nico.
13:40Okay, that's Nico, okay?
13:42You mustn't take your hat off, okay?
13:45Let's just breathe nicely, yeah?
13:47All right, let's go.
13:51You hold your pillow, and you listen to me, okay?
13:54All right, we're going now.
13:56Put your head under water and breathe comfortably, okay?
13:58Harrison O'Keen, the 29-year-old cook of the JASCON 4, had been in the bathroom when the vessel suddenly flipped.
14:05As frigid, black seawater surged through every corridor, he somehow avoided drowning, filling his way through the overturned ship until he reached the engineer's office.
14:14There, in total darkness, he discovered a single air pocket, about four feet high, just large enough to keep his head above water.
14:22For the next 60 hours, O'Keen remained trapped, breathing stale, dwindling air, surrounded by silence broken only by the groan of twisting metal and the distant sounds of sea life feeding.
14:34Occasionally, debris shifted with a dull thud, and the water carried the smell of his deceased crewmates.
14:40When a recovery diver first spotted a hand in the murky water, he assumed it was a drifting corpse, until the hand gripped back.
14:48Startled, the diver recoiled, then shouted through the radio,
14:51He's alive.
14:52The team quickly equipped O'Keen with a diving helmet and prepared for a delicate extraction.
14:57At that depth, bringing him to the surface too quickly could have killed him instantly from decompression sickness.
15:03After his rescue, he spent another 60 hours in a pressurized chamber, allowing his body to slowly readjust before finally being released, weak but alive, into the arms of his shocked and grateful family.
15:15According to National Geographic, an air pocket of about 13.5 cubic meters, the size of the one that saved O'Keen, could sustain a person for roughly 56 hours before lethal carbon dioxide levels set in.
15:29He survived almost exactly that long.
15:32Many would later call it a miracle.
15:33But for O'Keen, it wasn't just physics that kept him alive.
15:37In those endless hours of isolation, he recited Psalm 54, the same verse his wife had texted him earlier that day, over and over.
15:45A whispered prayer for deliverance that gave him the strength to stay calm, not to panic, and to endure.
15:51The light went off and the vessel capsided.
15:54And I was there trying to, like, and the WC fell on my head and teared my head.
15:58And I was there struggling on how I could be able to open the door.
16:01When I was riding in the water, when I have access to nothing, right down inside the water, I thought of my family, thought of my mom, my brothers, my wife.
16:13I have access to none of them.
16:15No way to get to them.
16:16And I was riding in the water and I know I'm going to die.
16:19But the only thing I could put my hope and trust in and my confidence in is God.
16:24I don't know if it's up to three days because I was thinking it's just a day, maybe it's getting to the evening.
16:28I was going to keep on praying, praying, praying, praying, praying.
16:31When I prayed for some time, I stopped.
16:33And I said, God, let that will be done as it is in heaven because I have tried my best.
16:37And I have called on you and you have never fed me before.
16:40And you will never fed me at all in my life.
16:43Since I say that to me, if death comes, let it come.
16:47If death didn't come, I know he's going to rescue me.
16:52Since I was there like that, I kept calm.
16:56And I was bored because I was not afraid anymore because I know his life and death, the line is already drawn.
17:03If he wants to come, let it go.
17:03The other 11 crew members were not so fortunate.
17:06Harrison O'Keen was the sole survivor of the Jaskon 4, a man entombed beneath the sea,
17:12clinging to faith, instinct, and a shrinking pocket of air to keep from becoming just another name claimed by the deep.
17:18On July 17, 2007, a domestic flight headed to Sao Paulo's Congonhas Airport, one of Brazil's busiest and most notoriously difficult airports,
17:28became the scene of one of the country's deadliest aviation disasters.
17:31TAM Airlines flight 35E4, a routine road from Porto Alegre to Sao Paulo, departed at 519 p.m. local time.
17:39The aircraft, an Airbus A320-233 powered by two AEV-2500 engines, had joined TAM's fleet just six months earlier, in January 2007.
17:49Although it had logged over 21,000 flight hours, it was still relatively new by commercial standards.
17:54On board were 181 passengers and six crew members, including Captain Henrique Stefanini Ducco,
18:00an experienced pilot with more than 13,000 flight hours, and First Officer Kleiber Lima, who had over 1,700 hours himself.
18:10One important detail about this aircraft was that the thrust reverser on Engine 2 had been deactivated,
18:16a condition allowed by aviation regulations, but one that made handling the plane during landing more challenging.
18:22This factor would soon prove critical.
18:24As Flight 30O5D4 approached Sao Paulo, weather conditions worsened.
18:28A steady rain had left the runway slick and treacherous.
18:31Congonhas was already known for its short runway and lack of grooving, a safety feature that helps drain water efficiently.
18:38That day, the runway was unforgiving.
18:41At 6.48 p.m. local time, Flight 3054 touched down on Runway 35L at roughly 142 knots.
18:49What happened next was not immediately visible to those watching, but within seconds, it became clear something was seriously wrong.
18:58The aircraft failed to decelerate.
19:22Later investigations revealed that the flight data recorder captured a crucial error during landing.
19:28While the left thrust lever was correctly pulled back to idle and then to reverse thrust, activating the left engine's reverser,
19:36the right thrust lever remained set to climb power.
19:39This caused the right engine to keep pushing the plane forward at high speed, while the left engine attempted to slow it down.
19:46The result was a disastrous case of asymmetric thrust.
19:50Neither the auto brakes engaged nor the ground spoilers deployed.
19:54Within seconds, the jetliner was careening uncontrollably down the wet runway.
19:58Unable to slow, it veered sharply to the left, slid off the pavement at nearly 90 knots,
20:04crossed a major road, Avenida Washington, Luis,
20:07and crashed into the TAM Express cargo building beside a Shell gas station.
20:12The ensuing explosion was instantaneous and catastrophic.
20:16Fueled by the aircraft's full load of fuel, the fire engulfed the entire structure, burning fiercely for hours.
20:23The destruction was so severe that identifying the victims took days.
20:27All 187 people on board died instantly, along with 12 individuals on the ground.
20:33Brazil's Center for Investigation and Prevention of Aeronautical Accidents, Sene-PA,
20:39concluded the primary cause was pilot error, specifically mismanagement of the thrust levers during landing.
20:45However, the findings sparked widespread controversy.
20:48Critics pointed to the aircraft's mechanical setup, while others blamed the airport's infrastructure,
20:54its wet runway, lack of grooving, short length, and inadequate overrun area.
20:59Many also questioned why TAM allowed a flight to land under such adverse conditions with a known deactivated thrust reverser.
21:06In 2011, criminal charges were brought against several TAM executives,
21:11including the airline's Director of Safety and Vice President,
21:14but all were acquitted by 2015.
21:16Meanwhile, TAM's insurer filed a $156 million lawsuit against Airbus,
21:22which ultimately failed, as Airbus denied responsibility,
21:26attributing the accident to pilot error.
21:28As with many tragedies, the truth likely lies not in a single mistake,
21:33but in the combination of multiple factors.
21:35Poor weather, insufficient runway design,
21:38a partially malfunctioning aircraft system,
21:40and a critical error in judgment in the cockpit.
21:43These factors converged at the worst possible moment.
21:46When the dust settled, the fire was extinguished,
21:48the wreckage cleared, and lawsuits stalled.
21:51199 lives were lost in what remains Brazil's deadliest aviation accident,
21:55and one of the most tragic, involving an Airbus A320.
21:59The disaster left a profound scar on the nation.
22:02The runway was eventually rebuilt,
22:04safety protocols updated,
22:06and debates over infrastructure,
22:08maintenance,
22:09and pilot training continued.
22:11Yet for the families left behind,
22:12no changes could ease their grief.
22:14Only a silent stretch of tarmac where Flight 3054 was meant to land,
22:19but never did.
