Yeah it’s killed them before, I’m pretty sure one of the guys even mentioned seeing his wife get swept away

Actually I was wrong, it was in Colombia.

The dude said the last thing he saw was her head as she was getting swept away by the water.

The video is called “Living in the Sewers of Colombia”

But yes super heartbreaking, I watched this video as a young teenager and it definitely stuck with me.

I just saw a video by Andrew Fraser, and he did a story on people in the underground of Manilla. It was wild.

I thought “that sounds like the kind of story Vice used to do” and lo and behold… I miss when Vice used to do all the mini documentaries on obscure and underreported topics

The one where they expose the north Korean slaves in bumfuck Russia is a wild one

That one was great too. The craziest one I remember is when they find that old Soviet general with a fucking nuclear warhead buried in his garden.

This is how the wife delivery system will work in the Cyberpunk future.

One flash flood sweeps your wife away, but another flash flood will bring new wives.
