10 Real Videos You Can’t Find On The Internet
As we move into 2013, a large number a cities around the world have
started to use video surveillance in order to help solve crimes. In
many cases cameras have been installed on public streets and in office
buildings to watch over the area. This has made it extremely difficult
for important events to go unrecorded and helped authorities uncover
mysteries. The advancement was never more evident than on April 15,
2013 when two bombs exploded at the Boston Marathon. After the
terrorist attack, thousands of videos and pictures of the event were
taken which helped police find the culprits.
Since surveillance has become so prevalent in the world, a large
number of crimes have been recorded and used as evidence in court. In
many cases, these tapes are extremely sensitive and sealed from the
public eye. This is to protect the families of the victims and prevent
the spread of the videos via the Internet. However, this doesn’t stop
people from searching the web for the clips. This article will examine
ten real videos that you will not be able to find on the Internet. Most
are part of an investigation or display sensitive material.
In the research for this article I came across a large amount of
urban legend clips that supposedly show a wide range of disturbing
images. These videos were not included in the list because I intended
to focus on real videos. In some cases there have been videos that were
thought to be lost forever and then suddenly appeared on YouTube. One
example is the 1969 short Mickey Mouse in Vietnam. The short is one
minute long and shows Mickey Mouse being shot to death in Vietnam. It
was thought lost until April 22, 2013 when a silent version of the video
was uploaded to YouTube. The clip has since been removed from YouTube
and is once again hard to locate.
10. Brussels Airport Diamond Heist Video
On February 18, 2013 eight masked gunmen stole approximately US$50 million in diamonds
from the belly of a plane at the Brussels Airport. The heist was
carried out after the men accessed the airport through a hole created in
a security fence. After breaching the airport fence, the criminals,
who were dressed like police officers, drove two vehicles directly to
the area where the a Brink’s armored van was moving diamonds to the
plane. In 15 minutes, the robbers loaded 130 bags of diamonds into
their vehicles and left. They used automatic weapons, but never fired a
shot during the heist.
It is thought that the robbery was an inside job because the
criminals had prior knowledge of an unlocked gate, construction work at
the airport, and arrived immediately after the diamonds had been
unloaded. The men also showed knowledge of how to quickly work the
plane’s hatch and had military training. The heist occurred during a
five minute window in which the diamonds were being transported to the
plane. It has since been realized that a large percentage of the
diamonds were uncut, which makes them extremely hard to trace.
The entire event was captured by the airport’s security system. The
police have since attempted to identify the culprits, but have not been
able to because of their masks. The video remains sealed to the public
and it is unlikely to be released in the near future. This has caused
some people to express concern because exposure of the tapes could help
find the diamonds. It is possible that somebody could recognize
specific mannerisms of the criminals.
In May of 2013, it was announced that police in France, Switzerland,
and Belgium had arrested more than two dozen people who are thought to
be involved with the diamond heist. The police confiscated a
significant amount of cash and diamonds. However, a huge percentage of
the stolen gems remain at large. It was reported that one of the people
arrested in France is thought to be one of the eight masked gunman who
participated in the heist. It has also been reported that the robbers
thought they were stealing money instead of diamonds.
On three separate occasions in the last ten years a major diamond
heist has been carried out in the middle of February. All of the events
have been connected to Antwerp. They include the 2003 Antwerp diamond
heist, the 2005 Schiphol Airport diamond heist, and the 2013 Brussels
Airport diamond heist.
9. Sesame Street Episode 847
On February 10, 1976 episode #847
of the American children’s series Sesame Street aired on television.
The episode features Margaret Hamilton in her famous role as the Wicked
Witch of the West. The Wicked Witch is one of the most notable villains
in history and the character seems to have an influence on children.
Hamilton was aware of her impact on children and continually tried to
explain to kids that she was just acting. Margaret even appeared on an
episode of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood in which she showed children how
she dressed up as the witch. Despite this, when Hamilton is viewed on
television as the witch, kids get freaked out.
In episode #847, the Wicked Witch comes to visit Sesame Street and
loses her broom. The broom falls into the hands of David, who refuses
to give it back to the witch. This doesn’t make her happy and the witch
threatens to turn Big Bird into a feather duster. Meanwhile, Oscar the
Grouch becomes friends with the witch. As the episode continues, the
witch tries to regain her broom in a variety of ways. Even dressing up
like a harmless old lady in order to deceive the group. The educational
curriculum for the episode is fear and the value of planning, which was
used by the witch to develop methods for retrieving her broom.
After the episode was aired in 1976, the television station received a
large amount of complaints from parents. It was reported that children
were scared by the show and refused to watch any more Sesame Street.
Some kids had problems sleeping and others experienced fits of terror.
The response was so abundant that the creators of Sesame Street decided
to conduct an experiment with the episode.
The group organized a large sample of kids who were willing to watch
the episode in the presence of their parents. It was reported that the
children were much more attentive during the scenes with the witch.
However, the emotion of fear was difficult to judge as the kids had
their parents present. After the experiment was completed it was
requested that the episode with Hamilton not be shown on television
again. The creators of Sesame Street agreed and the episode has not
been aired since 1976. It is currently impossible to find on the
Internet and has not been released on DVD.
8. Armin Meiwes Tapes
One of the most disgusting stories you will ever read is that of Armin Meiwes.
In 2001, Meiwes ran an advertisement on a website named The Cannibal
Café looking for a willing victim to be “slaughtered and consumed.” A
man named Bernd Jürgen Armando Brandes from Berlin responded to the
message and agreed to meet Meiwes. On March 9, 2001, the two met at
Meiwes house in Rotenburg, Germany and Brandes was killed. The entire
event was filmed on a 2 hour long videotape. The details of the
massacre are gruesome and hard to describe.
Meiwes started by amputating the penis of Brandes and the two ate it.
Meiwes then slaughtered Brandes and placed the body on a meat hook.
Over the next 10 months Meiwes consumed approximately 20 kilograms (44
lb) of the flesh. He even ground up some of Brandes’ bones and tried to
use the substance as cooking flour. All of the events were recorded on
the video, which was later seized by authorities and forever sealed
from the public.
In December of 2002 Meiwes was arrested by the police after they had
received a phone call from a concerned man who had seen a new
advertisement from Meiwes on the Internet. It was also discovered that
Meiwes had bragged about the crimes in chat rooms. On January 30, 2004,
Armin Meiwes was convicted of manslaughter and given a prison sentence
of eight years. It was ruled that Brandes was a voluntary participant
in the killing, so it was not murder. However, in 2006 the case was
revisited and Meiwes was convicted of murder and given a life sentence
in prison. It has been written that Meiwes is sorry for his crimes and
has become a vegetarian in jail. He believes that there are about 800
cannibals living in Germany.
7. Timothy Treadwell Death Tape
Timothy Treadwell
was a bear enthusiast that was fatally mauled at Katmai National Park
in Alaska on October 5, 2003. At the time of his death Treadwell was
with his girlfriend Amie Huguenard, who was also killed in the attack.
For thirteen straight years, Treadwell had visited Katmai in the summer
months to spend time with grizzly bears. He loved being with the bears
in their natural habitat. Treadwell recorded over 100 hours of
videotape at Katmai and took countless still photographs. The material
was later used by filmmaker Werner Herzog to produce the documentary
titled Grizzly Man.
In the years before his death, Treadwell had received a considerable
amount of media attention for his annual trip to the park. He appeared
on U.S. talk shows and was often criticized by researchers for his lack
of safety in the presence of bears. In October of 2003, Treadwell and
his girlfriend decided to stay in the park for an extra week in order to
locate a bear that had not been viewed that summer. It was a dangerous
decision because grizzly bears always become more aggressive in the
fall months as they fatten up for hibernation.
On October 5, 2003 Timothy spoke to a friend in California on a
satellite phone and indicated that he was having no problems with the
bears. The following day, a Kodiak air taxi pilot went to pick up
Treadwell and Huguenard and discovered an abandoned camp. Park rangers
were called to the scene and it was revealed that Timothy and Amie had
been mauled and partially eaten by grizzly bears. The rangers located a
bear protecting the camp and shot it. A few minutes later a smaller
bear charged the men, so they killed it as well. It was the first time
in the history of Katmai National Park that a human had been killed by a
bear. The deadly bear can be seen in one of Treadwell’s last
recordings in which it is referred to as “The Grinch.”
In the moments leading up the mauling, either Treadwell, but probably
Huguenard turned on a video camera and captured audio of the attack.
The camera was either in a bag or had its lens cap on because the video
is completely black, but the audio is chilling. The tape lasts roughly
six minutes in which Treadwell can be heard screaming for two-thirds of
the time. Sadly, Timothy struggled for his life. The bear makes very
little noise during the attack and it was reported that only small
growls and grunts can be heard from the animal. Towards the end of the
recording, Treadwell is heard being dragged away from the camp by the
bear.
After Treadwell is killed, the screams of Amie become extremely loud
and the tape stop. It is believed that Amie was mauled shortly after.
In the film Grizzly Man Herzog is recorded listening to the tape with
headphones on, but no sections of the video are played in the movie.
His reaction to the material is horrifying and Herzog urges the videos
owner to destroy the tape. The recording has since been placed in a
bank vault by Treadwell’s ex-girlfriend Jewel Palovak. In 2008, a
section of the clip was supposedly leaked to the Internet, but the
recording is thought to be faked. The real recording has never been
released.
6. Karla Homolka Tapes
The Scarborough Rapist is a man named Paul Bernardo who terrorized
the community of Scarborough, Ontario during the late 1980s and early
90s. In 1988, the police began to realize that a serial rapist was
attacking young women in Scarborough. In response they created a task
force to find the rapist. Between 1987 and 1989 Paul Bernardo attacked
around 20 separate women and raped half of them. In 1990, the police
gathered DNA evidence from 130 suspects in the case. One of the
suspects was Paul Bernardo, who submitted DNA evidence and was released
in November of 1990.
In 1990, Bernardo also got engaged to a woman named Karla Homolka
and became infatuated with her younger sister Tammy Homolka. Bernardo
eventually convinced Karla to drug her sister and allowed him to rape
her. The two videotaped the event and mocked Tammy. During one attack
on Tammy she began to vomit and choked to death. In response, Karla
took the camera and filmed herself in Tammy’s clothes and pretended to
be her. After an investigation, Tammy Homolka’s death was ruled an
accident.
On June 15, 1991, Paul Bernardo kidnapped a young girl named Leslie
Mahaffy and brought her back to his home with Karla Homolka. The pair
attacked the girl and videotaped themselves torturing her to the music
of Bob Marley and David Bowe. The following day Leslie Mahaffy was
murdered by the couple. Bernardo claimed that Homolka killed Mahaffy
with an overdose of Halcion, while Homolka claimed that Bernardo
strangled her. In April of 1992 both Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka
abducted a girl named Kristen French. French was taken back to the
couple’s house where they filmed themselves torturing her in horrible
ways. The following day Kristen was murdered.
Twenty-six months after his DNA evidence was submitted, Paul Bernardo
was linked to the Scarborough rapist case and arrested. However,
authorities could not implement him in the murders, so they turned to
Karla Homolka who was given a plea bargain deal in order to testify
against him. Homolka accepted the deal and was sentenced to 12 years in
jail for her role in the murders. During the trial, Karla painted
herself as a victim to Bernardo and in 1995 Paul Bernardo was sentenced
to life in prison. He is eligible for parole in 2020.
In 1993, after Homolka was given the plea bargain deal, Bernardo led
the police to a collection of videotapes that were hidden in his house.
He also confessed to over thirty rapes. The tapes showed Karla Homolka
participating and instigating the crimes. She was seen sexually
assaulting and drugging multiple victims without Bernardo in the room.
If admissible in court, the content of the tapes probably would have led
to a conviction of murder for Karla Homolka.
In response to this fact, the Canadian media began to refer to her
plea bargain as the “Deal with the Devil.” In December of 2001,
Canadian authorities determined that they had no need for the torture
tapes and destroyed them. An interview taken with Homolka as she
watched the tapes with police remains sealed to the public. In 2005,
Karla Homolka was released from prison and is currently living in
Guadeloupe with her husband and three children under the name Leanne
Bordelais.
5. Christine Chubbuck’s Suicide Tape
On July 15, 1974 Christine Chubbuck
committed suicide on live television during her program Suncoast
Digest. The program was a community affairs talk show in which Chubbuck
interviewed guests on a wide variety of issues. Chubbuck started her
career with WXLT-TV as a reporter and then was given the opportunity to
host the talk show. WXLT-TV was an ABC affiliate station in Sarasota,
Florida. Leading up to her suicide Christine was said to be severely
depressed. She had told her family that she was having a hard time
connecting with people and had not had a boyfriend for a long time.
Three weeks before the event Christine did a news story on suicide
and visited a local sheriff’s department to discuss the risks. During
the interview, a police officer explained the most efficient way to
commit suicide, which was said to be a gunshot to the back of the head
with wadcutter target bullets. Sadly, Chubbuck used the same method to
take her life. In the week leading up to her suicide Christine told a
news editor at the station that she had brought a gun to work and joked
about killing herself on the air. She was also disappointed with the
news stations decision to focus on “blood and guts” stories instead of
educational and inspirational news.
On the morning of her suicide, Chubbuck told her co-workers that she
had to read some news stories before starting her Suncoast Digest
interview. Christine covered three stories and then started to discuss a
shooting that had occurred in a restaurant at the Sarasota–Bradenton
International Airport. The station attempted to run a short clip of the
shooting, but the tape jammed and the camera went back to Chubbuck. At
this time Christine spoke her last words: “In keeping with Channel 40′s
policy of bringing you the latest in blood and guts, and in living
color, you are going to see another first, attempted suicide.” She then
drew a gun and shot herself in the back of the right ear. It was
reported that Chubbuck fell violently forward, hit her head on the desk,
fell to the ground, and then began to violently twitch. The camera
quickly went to black and the station ran a public service announcement.
It was later realized that Chubbuck had scripted the entire event,
including her suicide. She told her colleagues to list her condition as
“critical,” which they did. Chubbuck died at the hospital 14 hours
after the shooting. She was only 29-years-old. Following her death,
Christine’s family filed an injunction against the news station to
prevent the release of the video footage. The tape was seized by the
police and then given to the family. No copies have surfaced and the
video is thought to have been destroyed. The event occurred before VHS
tapes were widespread, so it is unlikely that it was recorded by a
viewer. However, it is possible that someone captured the event with a
primitive form of videocassette recording, such as the U-matic.
4. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Dropping the Bomb
On April 15, 2013, two pressure cooker bombs exploded at the Boston Marathon
and caused horrific damage, including the deaths of three people and
the maiming of dozens. Due to the location of the bombs, thousands of
videos and pictures of the event were taken. The FBI immediately asked
the American public to send in videos to help with the investigation.
Others conducted their own investigations over the Internet in an
attempt to locate suspicions characters.
A couple of days after the attack, the FBI directed their attention
to a pair of brothers named Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev. A manhunt
was carried out for the brothers and they were located in the Boston
suburb of Watertown. After a shootout in which a MIT police officer was
killed, Tamerlan Tsarnaev was shot dead and Dzhokhar escaped only to be
captured alive later in the day. It was realized that the brothers
were born in different republics of the former Soviet Union, and are
half Chechen and half Avar. They hold strong Extremist Islamic beliefs
and blamed America for wars in Muslim countries.
One of the main factors that caused the FBI to directly target the
brothers was video surveillance footage. It was widely reported that
the police hold a video of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev dropping his backpack at
the site of the second explosion. This is an extremely important piece
of evidence that can be used to prove that Dzhokhar planted the bomb.
For this reason, the video should be released under public domain for
all to see after the trial has taken place. However, it appears the
video could be sealed from the public.
A huge collection of conspiracy theories have emerged surrounding the
bombings The attack sparked one of the largest Internet investigations
in history, which caused many people to be misidentified and accused.
One of the most notable cases involved a Saudi national named Abdul
Rahman Ali Alharbi who was detained at the scene of the bombings and
later released. In the wake of the disaster, conservative radio talk
show host Glenn Beck insisted that the Saudi national was responsible
for helping the Tsarnaev brothers.
On the day of the attack, it was reported by multiple witnesses that a
bomb squad drill was being conducted at the marathon. People were
warned not to be alarmed by the large presence of officers at the scene.
It was also widely reported in the wake of the disaster that multiple
bombs had been discovered and that a controlled demolition was going to
take place, but this information was later disregarded.
Probably the most prevalent conspiracy theory surrounding the bombing
suggests that a series of members from the elite private security firm
Craft International were behind the false flag attack. This has been
suggested because in the initial days after the bombings numerous
pictures surfaced on the Internet of team members at the marathon. The
men were filmed with communications gear and wore large black backpacks.
One of these individuals was photographed fleeing the scene with his
backpack missing. To add more fuel to the fire, the black backpack on
one of the Craft members looked very similar to one used in the first
attack. A couple months before the bombings, the leader of Craft
International Chris Kyle was murdered.
3. American Airlines Flight 77 Videos
On September 11, 2001 American Airlines Flight 77
was hijacked by terrorists and flown into the Pentagon near Washington,
D.C., killing all 59 people on board as well as 125 people in the
building. The event was witnessed by dozens of people and was recorded
by a large number of security cameras surrounding the Pentagon. Despite
the large amount of footage, the FBI confiscated the tapes and refused
to release them to the public. This has caused people to speculate
about why the videos are being kept secret.
In the wake of 9/11, it was widely reported that a Citgo service
station right next to the Pentagon had recorded the impact of Flight 77
on its security cameras. The plane traveled over the gas station at an
altitude of 50 feet and crashed three seconds later. The FBI visited
the gas station minutes after the event and gathered the tapes. In the
wake of the crash, the FBI confiscated approximately 85 surveillance
tapes, including one notable clip from the Doubletree Hotel.
Despite all of the evidence, the U.S. government initially refused to
confirm that the videos showed the crash. In response, a group named
Judicial Watch filed a request on December 15, 2004 under the Freedom of
Information Act to gain access to the “Nexcomm/CITGO gas station,
Pentagon security cameras and the Virginia Department of Transportation
videos.” On May 16, 2006, the Department of Defense released the first
official videos of the crash with only one video showing Flight 77. The
clip was taken from a security camera at the Pentagon and shows a
blurry image of what appears to be a plane for 1 frame. The Citgo and
Doubletree videos were also released, but Flight 77 is not visible.
Despite the release of the videos, the FBI continues to hold at least
84 surveillance tapes of the crash. There is currently an ongoing
lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act to have all the tapes made
public. According to Special Agent Jacqueline Maguire of the FBI’s
Counterterrorism Division, the FBI has gathered approximately 85 tapes
that are “potentially responsive,” but the plane was only captured on
one, which was released in 2006.
2. Steve Irwin Death Video
Steve Irwin was a wildlife enthusiast that devoted his life to helping animals. On September 4, 2006 Irwin was killed by a stingray
while traveling in Port Douglas and filming an underwater documentary
titled Ocean’s Deadliest. During the event, Irwin was snorkeling at
Batt Reef (part of the Great Barrier Reef) in Port Douglas, Queensland
when the weather turned bad. In response, Steve entered the shallower
waters of the area and decided to film some segments for his daughter
Bindi’s television program named Bindi the Jungle Girl. As Irwin
approached a stingray in hopes of getting some good television shots,
the creature turned and jabbed its spine into Steve’s chest.
The spine of the stingray pierced Irwin’s heart and caused extensive
bleeding. Steve was pulled from the water, but it was too late and he
died shortly after being struck. It is believed to be the only time in
history that a person’s death by stingray was caught on video. After
the tragedy, Irwin was given a private funeral at the Queensland Zoo,
but it is unclear if he currently holds a grave at the location. He was
not given a coroner’s report and very little specific information is
available on his death.
It has been reported that Irwin’s last words were “Don’t worry, they
usually don’t swim backwards,” which shows that he recognized the
stingray was acting strangely. After the accident, the video of Steve
Irwin’s death was reviewed by law enforcement, but was eventually
destroyed at the request of his family. Despite the fact, millions of
people continue to search the web for Steve Irwin’s Death Video.
1. Sandy Hook Surveillance Video
On December 14, 2012 Adam Lanza shot and killed 26 people in Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Following the tragedy, it was reported that the school had recently
upgraded their surveillance system and installed video cameras, so
visitors who attempted to enter the school during business hours were
required to be individually identified by video. The system was placed
at the front of the school, but it is unclear if other cameras were
spread over the grounds.
At about 9:35 am, which was five minutes after Sandy Hook had locked
its doors for the day, Adam Lanza shot his way through a door at the
front of the school with a Bushmaster XM15-E2S rifle and started the
killing spree. At this time, he was caught on camera by the school’s
security system. However, the tape has yet to be released to the public
for viewing. The police have not even released a still shot of Lanza
at the school, which has only fueled the incredible amount of conspiracy
theories that exist around the event.
Immediately after the shooting people all over the Internet claimed
the attack was a false flag attempt by the U.S. government to pass more
severe gun control laws. The media initially made numerous mistakes in
reports about the shooter, how he entered the building, what weapons
were used, and his social history. Helicopter footage was taken at the
scene of two men running from the school into the woods. These men were
later identified as SWAT police officers, but it was never explained
why they were fleeing the scene. During the attack, it was reported
that the school’s principal turned on the intercom system and a
collection of different shooters were heard by witnesses. In some
accounts, one shooter is said to have been tackled and taken into
custody.
The culprit in this attack was an expert in the area of high powered
weapons, military tactics, and assassination. This has caused some to
step back and wonder how a 20-year-old American boy could have carried
out the Sandy Hook shooting. In the Sandy Hook Elementary attack, every
victim was shot multiple times by Adam Lanza. He made sure that the
victims were deceased. In one case, he shot a victim 11 times. In
response to this, it has been suggested the massacre looked like the
tactics of a trained death squad.
A large collection of bizarre conspiracy theories have been presented
on the Sandy Hook shootings, including one that says the entire event
was staged, which is quite absurd. Others have pointed to smaller
coincidences, such as the fact that the words “Sandy Hook” appear on a
map in the movie Dark Night Rises when Commissioner Gordon is talking
about an attack on “Strike Zone One.” Others have pointed to the fact
that Lanza’s father worked for GE Energy Financial Services and that
Adam committed suicide with a handgun that was initially not identified
among his weapons in the school. In response to all of this
information, it would be nice if a short section of the video of Adam
Lanza in the school was made public.
