00:01Reena James. We've all had them. Noisy neighbors. The stomping, the loud music, the arguments.

00:10It's enough to drive anyone a little crazy, right? Most of us, you know, we might bang on the ceiling

00:15with a broom, maybe leave a passive-aggressive note. But a Karen? A Karen takes it to a whole

00:22other level. Meet 43-year-old Reena James from Bedford, England. On July 4, 2022, Reena was

00:31enraged by the noise coming from her upstairs neighbors. Instead of, um, talking to them or

00:37calling the police, she decided on a more permanent solution. She grabbed a hammer, smashed her way into

00:45the flat above hers in Redwood Grove, and decided she was going to burn it down, with them inside.

00:52Her plan was, um, simple, I guess. She got a can of petrol and started pouring it through

00:59their letterbox. Just kept pouring, filling their hallway with gasoline fumes. Now, for anyone who

01:05paid attention in, like, elementary school science class, you'll know that petrol is volatile.

01:11The vapors are highly flammable. It's not just the liquid that burns, it's the air itself that

01:16becomes a bomb. And that's exactly what happened. The fumes ignited almost instantly. Maybe it was a

01:23pilot light, a spark from an appliance. Who knows? The result was a massive, devastating explosion that

01:30destroyed multiple homes. Three people, including a firefighter and two residents, were rushed to the

01:36hospital. And Reena? She was killed instantly by blast injuries. She was, quite literally, blown to pieces by her

01:44own rage-fueled stupidity. The irony here is hard to ignore. She went there to hurt someone else and

01:51ended up being the only casualty. The neighbors she wanted to harm? They survived. Reena didn't.

01:58She wanted to start a fire, and she ended up at the center of an explosion. Bro, you just can't

02:05make

02:05this stuff up. Natalie Buss. Sometimes, Karen behavior isn't about rage, but about entitlement.

02:14A deep, unshakable belief that you are the main character and that winning is the only thing that

02:20matters. Even if the prize is, well, nothing. On October 7th, 2023, 37-year-old Natalie Buss, an accountant

02:31and mother of two, was at a charity fundraiser for her son's rugby team in Wales. It was a happy

02:37community

02:37event. The DJ, a guy with 15 years of experience, decided to start some party games. One of them was

02:44a

02:44classic. Fit the most marshmallows in your mouth. Of course you know where this is going. Natalie was

02:51called up on stage. In front of her, dozens of pink and white marshmallows. The goal? Stuff as many as

02:59you can in your mouth in 60 seconds. And Natalie? Natalie was a competitor. She didn't just place a few

03:07in her cheeks. Nope. She started swallowing them. Handfuls at a time. Shoving them in. Swallowing

03:15them down. Trying to make room for more. She was going to win this game no matter what.

03:21She left the stage after the 60-second timer went off. She walked into a corridor. And then she suddenly

03:28collapsed. Her airway was completely blocked. The marshmallows, now mixed with saliva, had expanded and

03:36stuck together. Forming a dense, sticky plug that no amount of Heimlich could dislodge. An off-duty nurse

03:43rushed to help. Paramedics were called. But it was too late. They couldn't clear her throat. She choked

03:50to death right there at her own son's fundraiser. This is a special kind of Karen. The competitive mom

03:57who believes she can do anything. The entitlement that makes you ignore your own body's screaming

04:03signals to stop. She prioritized winning a stupid, pointless game over her own safety. And in doing so,

04:11left two children without a mother. It was a 100% preventable death, caused by nothing more than the

04:18desperate need to be a winner. The prize, in the end, was a Darwin Award. Wow.

04:28Sandra Macedo. Selfie culture. The desperate, all-consuming need to prove to the world that

04:36you're living your best life, even if it kills you. And for 44-year-old Sandra Macedo, it did.

04:45Sandra was… she was still new to Panama. A young PE teacher from Aves, a small town in northern

04:52Portugal, who had moved here to teach. A mother of two. She wasn't supposed to end up in a viral

04:57video.

04:58But on the morning of October 12th, 2018, around 10 o'clock, on a regular weekday,

05:04someone on a nearby building pulled out their phone and started filming.

05:09Sandra was on the 27th floor balcony of the Luxor Tower in the El Cangrejo neighborhood.

05:16She had a great view of Panama City, and she wanted the perfect photo.

05:20So, what does she do? She sits, like, half on the low balcony railing,

05:27230 feet in the air. With a selfie stick in hand, she starts leaning back to get the perfect angle.

05:35Construction workers on a nearby building saw her. They started shouting, screaming at her to get down.

05:41But, you know, with the wind and the height, she either didn't hear them or just… didn't care.

05:47The photo was more important. And then it happened. Local media say a sudden gust of wind probably

05:55pushed her just enough off balance. One second of wobbling, and then… the fall. Still holding that

06:04selfie stick. The most sickening part? The workers filmed the whole thing.

06:10In the video, you can hear someone say, she's mad. There she goes. She's fallen.

06:16Paramedics arrived quickly at the Luxor Tower, but there was nothing they could do.

06:21She was dead on the spot.

06:23The Panama Fire Service later tweeted a warning.

06:26Don't risk your life for a selfie. It's more important to lose a minute in life than your life

06:33in a minute. And Sandra wasn't alone. A study found that between 2011 and 2017, at least 259 people died

06:43taking selfies. Over 70% of them were men, but Sandra proved that stupidity doesn't discriminate.

06:54Chelsea Ake. And for our fourth story, we have a different kind of Karen. Not the angry entitled type,

07:02but the one who is so confident in her own expertise that she ignores basic safety rules. The one who

07:08thinks,

07:09I know what I'm doing. It won't happen to me. Meet 24-year-old Chelsea Ake, the night manager of

07:16a

07:16cryotherapy spa in Las Vegas called Rejuvenice. Chelsea was a huge believer in cryotherapy. She was

07:23from Hawaii, dreamed of opening her own cryocenter one day, and used the machines regularly herself.

07:29She was, you know, an expert. On the night of October 19th, 2015, after closing time, Chelsea stayed behind

07:39to do a cryo session by herself. The basic rule of cryotherapy? Never, ever do it alone.

07:46But Chelsea knew best. She was the manager, after all. She wanted to treat some muscle soreness.

07:52The next morning, a colleague arrived to open up. She walked in and found Chelsea, frozen solid inside

08:00the cryotherapy chamber. There's a 911 call from that moment. You can hear the colleague screaming,

08:06barely able to get the words out. She had been in there for about 10 hours, at temperatures reaching

08:18minus 240 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus 150 Celsius. The coroner ruled her death an accident, caused by

08:27asphyxia in an oxygen-deprived environment. Basically, she suffocated and froze to death. Investigators

08:35later called it operator error. She had set the machine up incorrectly, didn't get enough oxygen,

08:41and passed out. The spa itself didn't even have the right licenses to operate. The whole thing was a

08:47disaster waiting to happen. But Chelsea, the one who knew everything about cryotherapy, she was so sure

08:55of herself that she broke the number one rule, and she paid the ultimate price for it.

09:05And we're back to selfies. Because apparently, one selfie death in this video wasn't enough.

09:10This one, though, is on a whole other level of stupid. Anna Ursu was 18 years old, a student from

09:17Iyasi, a city in northeastern Romania. One day in May 2015, she and her 17-year-old friend decided they

09:24wanted to take the ultimate selfie for Facebook. And where do you go for the ultimate selfie? A train

09:30yard, obviously. The two girls snuck onto a railway siding near the station and climbed on top of a

09:37parked locomotive. Now, here's the thing about trains. Above them, there are overhead power lines. And these

09:44aren't your regular household wires. We're talking about 27,000 volts. That's enough to kill you

09:50instantly. A passerby on the platform actually saw them up there. He shouted at them, warning them to keep

09:56their heads down and stay away from the cables. But Anna and her friend, they didn't listen. They were too

10:01focused on getting that perfect shot. Anna lay down on the roof of the train and kicked her leg up

10:07in the

10:07air for the photo. And that's when it happened. She got too close to the power line. You don't even

10:13have to

10:13touch it. The electric field around a 27,000 volt cable is strong enough to arc through the air.

10:19A massive bolt of electricity shot through her body, creating what witnesses described as a fireball.

10:26Her friend was thrown off the roof by the force of the shock. She survived with minor injuries.

10:31Anna wasn't so lucky. The passerby who had warned them climbed up onto the train, risking his own life,

10:37and tried to put out her burning clothes. Anna had burns over 50% of her body and severe internal

10:43damage.

10:44She was airlifted to the hospital in Iyashi, then transferred to a burn center in Bucharest.

10:49Doctors said her entire body was burned and she had virtually no chance of survival. A few days later,

10:55she died. Her friend later told investigators that they just wanted the ultimate selfie. They didn't

11:01realize how dangerous the power lines were. 27,000 volts. For a Facebook photo? Seriously? That's the

11:09world we live in now. Catherine Chappell. Great that you're still watching. Our final Karen is a special

11:19one. A successful Emmy award-winning visual effects editor who worked on Game of Thrones. A woman who

11:25traveled to South Africa on a volunteer mission to protect wildlife. And how did she die? Well,

11:32let's just say the irony of how she died is almost too much to handle. Catherine Chappell was 29 years

11:40old from Rye, New York and working at Scanline VFX in Vancouver. She had just set up a GoFundMe to

11:46raise money for Wildlife Act. On her fundraising page, she wrote about wanting to help track, monitor,

11:52and protect rhinos, cheetahs, and African wild dogs. She wanted to set up camera traps to catch poachers.

11:59So yeah, she actually gave a damn about these animals.

12:02On June 1, 2015, Catherine was on a tour at the Lion Park in Goteng Province, South Africa.

12:09Now, this park has one very, very important rule. It's on signs everywhere. It's on the paper slip

12:16they hand you when you enter. Keep your windows closed. I mean, it's a park full of lions, not,

12:23fluffy kittens. Oh, and by the way, this park had a history. An Australian tourist had been

12:30bitten in the arm before for driving with an open window. A teenager on a bike was attacked by a

12:35cheetah. So, you know, they weren't joking around. Now, according to the tour company, Catherine had

12:41her windows closed during most of the drive. But at some point, she rolled her window down to take

12:46photos. And that's when it went wrong. Other tourists in nearby cars saw a lioness approaching

12:52her vehicle. They started honking their horns, trying to warn her. But Catherine, um, she just kept

12:59taking photos. The lioness got closer, stopped about three feet away. And then she lunged.

13:06There's a photo that exists, taken by someone in another vehicle, showing the lioness with her paws

13:12on the jeep, her muzzle forcing its way through the window seconds before the attack. It's, um,

13:19chilling, to say the least. The lioness bit Catherine through the open window and mauled her neck.

13:25She bled out and died at the scene. The 66-year-old tour guide Pierre Potgeiter was injured trying to

13:32fight the lion off and may have suffered a heart attack from the stress. The lioness, by the way,

13:38was with her cubs at the time. The park decided not to euthanize her. She was just being a lion.

13:44They moved her to a non-public area instead. And Catherine? She came to South Africa to protect

13:50wildlife. But in one moment, one decision to roll down that window for a better photo,

13:55she became another statistic. All she had to do was keep the window closed.

14:00So

14:00she called her to be a ghost.

14:18What?

14:19What?
