TikTok star comes 'close to dying' after getting trapped under frozen lake

Watch The Video

Jason Clark, a TikTok star with over 415,000 followers, attempted to swim under the ice on a frozen lake in Utah, but struggled to find his way out A terrifying video has revealed the moment a TikTok star almost died after getting trapped under the ice while filming for his channel. Jason Clark, a TikTok star with over 415,000 followers, attempted to swim under the ice on a frozen lake in Utah. While he initially started strong, he quickly became disorientated, and struggled to find the hole he’d made in the ice to get out. He explained: “I have never been this close to dying. I didn’t think my eyeballs would freeze so quick. “The surface of the water where the hole was didn’t look any different than the bottom of the ice. When I flipped around and felt solid ice I thought I was at the hole.” When Mr Clark realised he wasn’t at the hole, he decided to follow the dust that he’d kicked at the beginning.

However, the dust had drifter, and led him even further away from the hole. He said: “I then tried to break the ice with my back, you can see in the video. I don’t know what made me turn around one last time. “I was so short on breath I couldn’t really see anymore. I had accepted that was it and I wasn’t going to make it. “I swung my hand at what I though was just a lighter spot of ice and my hand came through. I then got a ton of energy to stand up. It took 2-3 breaths to regain my vision after resurfacing.”

Reasons the Nuremberg executions go wrong in 1946

The execution of the men responsible for the destruction of millions of lives in Nazi Germany was meant to be a swift and controlled act of justice at Nuremberg.

On a cold night in October 1946, inside the prison gym in Nuremberg, the final punishment of the leaders of Nazi Germany, who had been convicted during the Nuremberg trials, was about to be carried out.

But just as the men were about to meet their end, everything changed. One of the biggest Nazis of them all, Hermann Göring, took a cyanide capsule in his cell and cheated the hangman.

Joachim von Ribbentrop followed next.

Master Sergeant John C. Woods, a U.S. Army sergeant, was placed in charge of the executions. However, the execution equipment was poorly constructed. The wooden trapdoors for the hangings were too small and caused problems during the process.

Ribbentrop struggled to die as his full weight suddenly dropped to the length of the rope, with the frame of the trapdoor hitting him in the stomach area and the back of his head.

The same fate met Wilhelm Keitel. His fall was not smooth either, as he also hit the frame of the door, leaving marks on his face.

Many other men followed, including Julius Streicher and others.

The historic Nuremberg trials, intended to hold those responsible for Nazi atrocities accountable, ended with a deeply troubling final scene.

Execution of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss

Rudolf Höss was hanged on April 16, 1947, in the inner courtyard next to the former crematorium at Auschwitz. Höss was the commandant of the Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp. There, he was responsible for the deaths of nearly one million Jews and other camp prisoners.

After the war, Höss lived under a false name for a time, but in March 1946 a British team located him. He later testified at the Nuremberg Trials. The Allies handed him over to Poland because Auschwitz was located in Polish territory during the German occupation. Therefore, he was tried in Poland.

Höss wrote his autobiography in his cell, in which he expressed regret for what had happened but denied guilt. He claimed he had only been following orders. In March 1947, the judge found Höss guilty and sentenced him to death.

A chip of steel flew off a piece of drilling equipment on a rig near Seminole, Oklahoma, and went into Wiley Post's left eye

A chip of steel flew off a piece of drilling equipment on a rig near Seminole, Oklahoma, and went into Wiley Post's left eye. Infection set in and the eye had to come out. He was twenty seven years old, a cotton farmer's son out of Van Zandt County with a grade school education, and he had just lost the one thing anybody would have told him a pilot cannot do without.

The state cut him a check for it that fall of 1926. One thousand six hundred and ninety eight dollars and twenty five cents, ordered against the drilling company's insurance carrier. He took every dollar of that settlement and bought a wrecked, second hand Canadian built biplane.

Then he set about learning to see again. He spent roughly two months at his uncle's place in southwest Texas doing almost nothing but practicing depth perception with the eye he had left, teaching himself to judge distance the way the rest of us do it with two. The government licensed him anyway after a probationary stretch of about seven hundred hours.

It is worth saying that he had been jumping out of airplanes before he had ever ridden in one. He heard a flying circus was coming through Wewoka and that their parachute man had been hurt in the previous show, so he volunteered, having never once been off the ground. He made better than a hundred jumps over the next two years, for as much as fifty dollars a show.

Here is what that eye's worth of money finally bought. In 1930 he won the nonstop derby from Los Angeles to Chicago in a hair over nine hours. In 1931 he flew around the world with an Australian navigator in eight days, fifteen hours and fifty one minutes. And in July of 1933 he did it again alone, in seven days, eighteen hours and forty nine minutes, cutting twenty one hours off his own record, sleeping in snatches while a prototype autopilot he had nicknamed Mechanical Mike held the airplane straight. Nobody matched that flight until 1947.

Two years later he flew Burbank to Cleveland, two thousand and thirty five miles in seven hours and nineteen minutes, at moments making a ground speed of three hundred and forty miles an hour in an airplane whose own top speed was a hundred and eighty five. He was riding a river of wind that nobody had figured out how to use yet. He did not discover the jet stream. He was the first man to fly up into it and put it to work.

He died that August in Alaska alongside Will Rogers, in a hybrid airplane he had put together himself out of two wrecks. Twelve thousand movie screens across the country went dark for two minutes.

In 1943, Shoichi Yokoi served in the Imperial Japanese Army on the island of Guam

In 1943, Shoichi Yokoi served in the Imperial Japanese Army on the island of Guam. When US forces invaded the island in 1944, he retreated into the jungle. Because he did not believe reports of peace to be credible, he constructed an underground bunker using BAMBOO and foliage.

All of his fellow soldiers eventually died, and for decades afterward, Yokoi survived entirely ALONE.

Yokoi was discovered by TWO hunters on Guam in January 1972. Upon learning that WWII had already ended twenty-seven years ago, in 1945, HE was stunned to discover this fact.

Upon returning to Japan in February 1972, thousands of people came out in droves to celebrate his survival. After spending thirty years isolated in the jungle, Yokoi struggled to adjust to the hustle and bustle of contemporary URBAN life.

His military experience prevented Yokoi from enjoying his reunion with civilization. Ultimately, he remarried, assumed the role of a farmer, AND maintained anonymity throughout his remaining lifetime

Yokoi's experience demonstrates how powerful the psychological impact of war may be upon an individual.

Two French soldiers after their capture by the Germans near Lille, May 1940.

The visibly distraught West African rifleman is comforted by a fellow soldier whose collar bears the number "38", identifying the 38th Infantry Regiment.

Part of the 25th Motorized Infantry Division, the regiment fought in Belgium before being encircled around Lille, resisting until May 31.

The African soldier probably belonged to a different colonial unit. His identity and the exact location remain unknown, but the photograph (a German soldier who took part in the campaign) captures the human reality of the French Army’s chaotic retreat.

Their names remain unknown.
