The TERRIFYING Last Minutes of Agnes Milowka - Cave Dive Accident

Agnes Milowka (23 December 1981 – 27 February 2011) was an Australian technical diver, underwater photographer, author, maritime archaeologist and cave explorer. She gained international recognition for penetrating deeper than previous explorers into cave systems across Australia and Florida, and as a public speaker and author on the subjects of diving and maritime archaeology. She died aged 29 while diving in a confined space.

Don't put a photo of a completely different deceased person in a completely different location in your thumbnail with an arrow pointing at it. That is completely misleading, and disrespectful to both people. Then you make it even worse by showing footage of Yuri Lipski, without saying that it is not footage of her!

[ADELINODESousa]

One thing is Certain! Never, ever trust a person who says they are not afraid of dying, sooner or later that person will not only be screwed but also will screw the people who are by their side!

[mdedes]

Unfortunate, but one must always understand limits. It's worth living for. Not dying for.

[DGH]

These people can not be surprised when they come in to situations when they get stuck . It's like playing Russian roulette there are no surprises

[grigoriosdelaportas]

I learned a great lesson when I pushed my limits in skydiving where I almost killed myself. It was pure stupidity.

[esquared]

I don't understand why in this modern age cave divers don't first send a small underwater vessel/drone/robot with a strong light and camera to explore narrow areas (like at 9:59) to see where it goes/ends, if there is another exit, if there is space to turn around and come back the same way, etc, rather than just blindly squeeze yourself into a narrow space with bulky diving equipment.
Respectfully... it's just stupid not making use of technology.

You couldn't pay me enough to go Cave Diving to where I cannot get my own breath

[aaronclark]

Man it gets hard to breath just watching this...

[paulbee-qp]

when you realise youre starting to create more dangerous expierences in diving, thats when you stop. after more than 800 dives, i was doing the same. so i quit. because, to die in a pointless self induced challenge is just stupid. enough with the inspiring rhetoric bullshit, take away from her death this one lesson : she could have lived and loved for many more years, her CHOICE was to lose that.

i dived with Agnes on the great barrier reef. i was sorry to hear of her passing when i herd. She had a smile i will always remember :)

Nobody should have to risk their lives to rescue you if you do things this stupid

[clener]

I honestly found the video to be misleading. I thought it was going to be an explanation of how the accident occurred but the first 8 minutes of video appear to just be a biography and only a few moments of the last 5 mins seem to say something about the event itself. Got here off YT recommendations on FatalBreakdown videos but looks like the recommendation was mismatched.

“ Don’t do stupid stuff “
Proceeds to cave dive* 🤦🏾‍♂️

[davidcritchley]

When they refer to them in the past tense. You know what to expect!

[candyabarca]

the video you showed was not of Agnes but of Yuri Lipsky. He was also a scuba diver but he died while diving the Blue Hole in Israel.

[fedupwithem]

So I guess she died doing what she loved? Panicking and then painfully convulsing as her body was dying from lack of air... It's a suicidal "sport", and nobody should have to risk their lives to retrieve the dead body of a suicidal person.

[Azuria]

she was ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED OF DEATH when she knew it will happen soon, she lost half of her life for an addiction

[impulse_xs]

Pretty impressive how you talked for 8 minutes before actually saying anything worthwhile.

[vladislavgorshkov]

she either got stuck in narrow space and couldn't change the tank, or she was disoriented in complete darkness and had not enough air to change the tank

[AlphaMikeCharlie]

she wasn´t one of the first cave divers/Explorers.
Where did you get that from?
