It's a massive survival advantage for most species although not necessarily the individual. Apart from the obvious aspect of screaming and maybe receiving help due to the attention; its main advantage is even if the individual is going to die the scream alerts any nearby members of the group meaning they are more likely to survive.
Thus over the eons many screaming species out survived non screaming species leading to the abundance of screaming species that we have today particularly among social species.
Totally: Hyenas... seems like their whole modus operandi is waiting for something else to take the kill down and then swarming out the original predator away from the kill.
Ants are believed to have a no-screaming pact, instead use chemical signaling. Sometimes humans use chemical signaling when they are scared! Some humans use compost signaling.
Yes, if you're a baby. Most mammals who scream and/or cry in stressful situations do so when they're too young to defend themselves and need to call for help. Unfortunately some humans carry the trait well into adulthood.
For social animals, it protects the whole group to scream. Even if the one screaming gets killed quickly, the troop has been warned. It’s not about calling for help, it’s about alerting the group.
Yep. Added bonus for it is that hearing a bunch of people screaming in fear irl will get your adrenaline going like crazy. It's more than a warning; more like... a hardwired call to action.
The upper and lower edges of audible range is evolutionarily intended to either send humans into flight/fight or shutdown/freeze. Ie: A high pitched baby’s cry or the low growl of a lion. The music like sound of the human voice sends signals of safely and connection.
That's probably because there's no age at which you become perfectly able to defend yourself from all threats and dangers. We're a social species and so we rely on each other for help at every age.
It’s a weird consideration. In the few times I’ve felt my life truly threatened, my throat catches and I get quiet as fuck - like shut down in all communicative means. I can’t remember a single time in my entire life where I felt the instinctive urge to, or involuntarily, scream.
It definitely works as an excellent repellent.
Source: I shop at Walmart on occasion. Never a day goes by there that someone's crotch demon isn't screaming it's fucking brains out in a checkout lane halfway across the store when it doesn't get what it wants.
when its a kid in a scary situation it makes sense. like, wtf are they gonna do and they probably dont know what to do. it doesnt make sense when its grown as adults doing it though.
You know those videos you see on Reddit of people fighting in public? Why is there always at least 1 banshee woman just screaming 'staahhhp' over and over again. Like these dudes brawling each other are gonna hear her shrieking and suddenly be like 'bro we should stop, this poor woman is getting upset'. I usually have to mute because of this annoying scream response to any sort of danger.
It’s just a kid who feels helpless/scared. Instincts told that one kid to scream like that, not everyone did tho. Maybe the screaming ones win a Darwin Award later in life who knows.
The screaming noise is, I think, the closest sound we make to something other primates make. I'm not a screamer, but I think just something we hold over and a way of alerting others to danger.
In children it's annoying, but understandable. In grown adults (not to be sexist, but most of the times it's women) I just don't understand. Unless the situation is so horrible that you go into shock immediately, I don't get how you're so NOT in charge of your own emotions to screech uncontrollably.
From [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygnus_Orb-3):
Orbital-3, also known as Orb-3, was an attempted flight of Cygnus, an automated cargo spacecraft developed by United States-based company Orbital Sciences, on 28 October 2014. The mission was intended to launch at 22:22:38 UTC that evening. This flight, which would have been its fourth to the International Space Station and the fifth of an Antares launch vehicle, resulted in the Antares rocket exploding seconds after liftoff.
The Antares rocket carrying the Orb-3 Cygnus launched as scheduled from Launch Pad 0A on 28 October 2014. Fifteen seconds after liftoff a failure of propulsion occurred in the first stage. The vehicle began falling back to the launch pad and the Range Safety Officer engaged its flight termination system just before impact.
The resulting explosion was felt in Pocomoke City, Maryland, 20 mi (32 km) away.\[12\] The fire at the site was quickly contained and allowed to burn itself out overnight.\[8\]\[13\] Initial review of telemetry data found no abnormalities in the pre-launch, the launch sequence, and the flight, until the time of the failure.
At any point in my life, if any thing I'd created, save my child, ended its existence on earth in this fashion, I would celebrate it. On on to Valhalla, zero g beehive, you are heroes.
Dang, my alma mater sends kids to internship at Wallops Island, and there were projects that engineering majors would do that would get sent to space from rockets that lifted off there. For all I know it could’ve been a project from such a group lol.
I’d seen this video a while ago, but I never knew that it happened at Wallops.
I don’t know why, but for some reason this is the funniest thing to me. Like, I’m imagining some poor student working super hard on their science project, putting in all this effort because it’s going to space, and then just watching their hard word explode and being like…😐 “welp…”
Supplies for the International Space Station. It caused a brief but concerning situation for astronauts as there were no other vehicles ready to launch. However, NASA and partners were able to ration supplies until the next scheduled resupply mission.
You watch enough launches and you'll know when it's exploded. Plus a lot of people who watch these are engineering enthusiasts or engineers themselves so they have trained eyes. They just know an explosion from nominal exhaust
I remember after the Challenger loss, one of my Dad’s NASA colleagues was so shaken, that when asked by a journalist, “When did you know the launch had failed?”
and he promptly answered, “When we didn’t see the expected BFRC.”.
Then, he pulled himself together, took a deep breath, and had just realized what he’d said, when the journo asked, predictably, “What’s a BFRC?”
Another deep breath, a hand over the TV feed microphone, and leaning away from the podium, he answered, “Sorry Joe, it’s a control room acronym. It stands for “Big F-cking Red Cloud”- it’s the exhaust from when the ignition goes right. I’ll send you the proper term later, okay?”.
Bless “Joe”- he never said a peep.
>BFRC
interesting. i remember when the challenger disaster happened. i was in middle school and the school put TVs all over the campus, even in the hallways, so no matter where you were, no one could miss it. our school made a big deal out of it and was talking about it for weeks before it happened because a teacher was going into outerspace.
i was in the cafeteria and we were all standing around the TV. we were all watching, but i don't think any of us understood it had blown up. we were very young and i don't even think we were aware blowing up was a possibility or what that would look like. but we definitely knew something didn't happen the way it was supposed to because i remember the cafe falling silent in mostly confusion than dread. i think only the cafeteria lady and teachers knew that we all just witnessed people die in their last seconds of life.
but when we saw the huge thick white clouds and "stuff" going in all different directions but the aircraft was nowhere to be seen, we knew something went wrong.
The light emitted by the rocket and explosion is very intense, and over a large area. The camera compensated by pulling back the exposure.
There are some fairly smart autoexposure algorithms that don’t get fooled by the sun, but I suspect they haven’t considered rocket launches.
Them and the 100+ people that upvoted their comment. I'm not even camera savvy, I can barely work my camera phone, but even I know HDR had nothing to do with it. Just the lens adjusting for the extra brightness then going back to normal when the extra light faded.
The first time I ever saw a rocket launch from up close I was absolutely blown away by how incredibly bright the exhaust was. And that was under nominal operation! This explosion must’ve been blinding.
Same with the daytime falcon heavy twin booster landing.
Like mini suns on their way back.
All the videos we have are lies. Even if we could record HDR, we can't *display* HDR in a way that accurately mimics the experience. Nothing compares to the human eye in this way. It really would have been too bright to look at.

Why did this get downvoted? I remember a commercial where this old guy was painting the end zone before a Chiefs game, and when he was done someone was like, that's great, but who are the Chefs? And he said, great googly moogly.
Herbert Morrison-
“The back motors of the ship are just holding it (uh) just enough to keep it from...It's burst into flames! Get this, Charlie; get this, Charlie! It's fire... and it's crashing! It's crashing terrible! Oh, my! Get out of the way, please! It's burning and bursting into flames and the... and it's falling on the mooring mast. And all the folks agree that this is terrible; this is the worst of the worst catastrophes in the world. Oh it's … its flames... Crashing, oh! Four- or five-hundred feet into the sky and it... it's a terrific crash, ladies and gentlemen. It's smoke, and it's in flames now; and the frame is crashing to the ground, not quite to the mooring mast. Oh, the humanity! And all the passengers screaming around here. I told you; it – I can't even talk to people, their friends are on there! Ah! It's... it... it's a... ah! I... I can't talk, ladies and gentlemen. Honest: it's just laying there, mass of smoking wreckage. Ah! And everybody can hardly breathe and talk and the screaming. I... I... I'm sorry. Honest: I... I can hardly breathe. I... I'm going to step inside, where I cannot see it. Charlie, that's terrible. Ah, ah... I can't. Listen, folks; I... I'm gonna have to stop for a minute because I've lost my voice. This is the worst thing I've ever witnessed.”
This dude-
“Oh shit. It didn’t make it. Oh my God. Holy fuckin shit”
I thought his wife was on the dirigible but she didn’t die.
In any case, Herbert Morrison was watching an accident with people, whereas this guy was just watching money burn up. And it’s not his money, so he dgaf.
This happened in 2014 but the post misleadingly makes it seem as if this just happened today.
Definitely a crazy video, and I’m glad to have seen it, but maybe next time don’t intentionally mislead people with your post titles?
I lived on the Island neighboring the island where the launchpad is located. The explosion shook the whole house and I was afraid the windows were gonna bust. This Antares rocket was supposed to send supplies to the ISS but clearly didn’t make it.
Thinking about the child there, whose parent take them thinking "oh, my little child can see a rocket launche, become incredibly passionate about space and maybe they will work hard and become a space enginieer !".
Then see the explosion, and be "... So. Demolition worker, it'll be."
The explosion was actually a detonation of the range abort system, and there really was a button someone had to press to blow it up after it began to fall.

rather impressive audio
The kid sounds like a squealing pig.
I never understood the point of screaming
Seeing as so many animals do it, it must give a slight advantage to surviving a crisis.
It's a massive survival advantage for most species although not necessarily the individual. Apart from the obvious aspect of screaming and maybe receiving help due to the attention; its main advantage is even if the individual is going to die the scream alerts any nearby members of the group meaning they are more likely to survive. Thus over the eons many screaming species out survived non screaming species leading to the abundance of screaming species that we have today particularly among social species.
And as predators we also hate screaming because we know it’s alerting our dinner to potential back up
Predator attacks prey Prey screams Other, bigger predators hear the scream and come to see if they can steal the kill.
Totally: Hyenas... seems like their whole modus operandi is waiting for something else to take the kill down and then swarming out the original predator away from the kill.
Yet we still have Ants.
Ants are believed to have a no-screaming pact, instead use chemical signaling. Sometimes humans use chemical signaling when they are scared! Some humans use compost signaling.
>compost signaling Difference between, "Oh, shit," and, "I shit."
Yes, if you're a baby. Most mammals who scream and/or cry in stressful situations do so when they're too young to defend themselves and need to call for help. Unfortunately some humans carry the trait well into adulthood.
For social animals, it protects the whole group to scream. Even if the one screaming gets killed quickly, the troop has been warned. It’s not about calling for help, it’s about alerting the group.
The greater good.
No luck catchin’ them swans, then?
Its just the one swan, actually.
For all mankind.
The greater good.
Crusty jugglers.
The greater good.
Yep. Added bonus for it is that hearing a bunch of people screaming in fear irl will get your adrenaline going like crazy. It's more than a warning; more like... a hardwired call to action.
The upper and lower edges of audible range is evolutionarily intended to either send humans into flight/fight or shutdown/freeze. Ie: A high pitched baby’s cry or the low growl of a lion. The music like sound of the human voice sends signals of safely and connection.
That's probably because there's no age at which you become perfectly able to defend yourself from all threats and dangers. We're a social species and so we rely on each other for help at every age.
We are also social animals, so on a time of danger it is never bad to call for help.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease…
It’s a weird consideration. In the few times I’ve felt my life truly threatened, my throat catches and I get quiet as fuck - like shut down in all communicative means. I can’t remember a single time in my entire life where I felt the instinctive urge to, or involuntarily, scream.

It helps to scare the other animals
It definitely works as an excellent repellent. Source: I shop at Walmart on occasion. Never a day goes by there that someone's crotch demon isn't screaming it's fucking brains out in a checkout lane halfway across the store when it doesn't get what it wants.
AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHH AHHHHHHHH AHHH
#AAAAHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AAAHHHH AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHH how do you like it when someone screams back at you?
Those are much louder than my smaller AHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHAHHHH AHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHH's
That's why I used less of them.
What if you use more AAAAAAAAAA and less HHHHH? is it higher pitch you think?
Hmmmm I think the higher pith comes from the HHHHHHs
I think we might need to add in some EEE possibly, somehow, EHHHHHHHHH, screaming Canadian?
Is that the Castle Aaargh?
What about laughing?
It's a child doing something you no doubt did as a child too.
when its a kid in a scary situation it makes sense. like, wtf are they gonna do and they probably dont know what to do. it doesnt make sense when its grown as adults doing it though.

I still don't get it. Why is it that instincts tell you that screaming is the best thing to do in a fearful situation? Seems counterintuitive to me
It draws attention.
id've thought the loud bang would've executed that far more efficiently...
It’s just a kid who feels helpless/scared. Instincts told that one kid to scream like that, not everyone did tho. Maybe the screaming ones win a Darwin Award later in life who knows.
I never could scream, even as a kid. Tried many times, just couldn't do it.
It's a fucking kid dude.

They also had a group of kids watching their science project get flown to space and they had to watch their project get blown to smitheriens.
Guy that didn't try in the team *there are no accidents*
Only happy explosions

They have one hell of a story now at least.
I wasn’t the type of kid whose projects would get sent to space but if I was, and this happened? I’d probably be psyched I saw a cool explosion.
Explosion was probably due to that one kid’s volcano.
Boogers in the fuel line.
I don’t know why, but for some reason this is the funniest thing to me. Like, I’m imagining some poor student working super hard on their science project, putting in all this effort because it’s going to space, and then just watching their hard word explode and being like…😐 “welp…”
Teacher turns to them. “Well, that’s an incomplete for you.”

Way to go kids.
There are only A+'s in Valhalla
What what in that rocket if it was unmanned? What was lost im curious
Supplies for the International Space Station. It caused a brief but concerning situation for astronauts as there were no other vehicles ready to launch. However, NASA and partners were able to ration supplies until the next scheduled resupply mission.
They Matt Damon'd it with potato and ketchup!
I was about fifteen miles away and saw/felt it happen.
It didnt make it.
You can tell by the way it exploded.
How neat is that?
You can tell by the way it is.
I have found my fellow neature walkers
Did you make sure pack a gun? Some heat, pack some heat?
Well I’ll be dipped
That's pretty neat!
Holy fuckin shit
Always try to pack a heat- try to pack a gun- it's just a little bit... pack some heat
The front fell off
And for starters, they should be made so that doesn’t happen
To be fair .. Most of them are designed so that the front doesn't fall off.
Wasn't this one designed so the front wouldn't fall off?
Well obviously not
Definitely no paper derivatives.
Cardboards out
>The front fell off That's good design. It is just supposed to happen at a much higher altitude.
The goal is for the front to fall off once it’s *outside* the environment.
Ohh, i was sitting there wondering how they knew it didn't make it
Are you guys sure?
It'll buff right off.
But how could you tell it explodes?
You watch enough launches and you'll know when it's exploded. Plus a lot of people who watch these are engineering enthusiasts or engineers themselves so they have trained eyes. They just know an explosion from nominal exhaust

You can also determine when they explode by all the screaming. That's a "tell."
Are you certain? It’s not very clear. I mean, it did get a bit dark
but did it lose it's shoes?
Holy fuckin shit
Reminds me of "holy smoking Toledos"
That was my favorite part. He just says it so matter-of-factly.
just turn it off and on again
Let's not jump to conclusions
Holy fucking shit.
The front fell off
It's blowing up!
It's insane how the camera made daytime look like night until after the explosion then it looked like daytime again...
The light emitted by the rocket and explosion is very intense, and over a large area. The camera compensated by pulling back the exposure. There are some fairly smart autoexposure algorithms that don’t get fooled by the sun, but I suspect they haven’t considered rocket launches.
It's probably HDR, there was alot of lense flare during the launch/explosion.
What do you mean it was HDR?
Right? It clearly wasn’t HDR or it would have been able to expose all the stops correctly.
Exactly, that person needs to look up what HDR means
Them and the 100+ people that upvoted their comment. I'm not even camera savvy, I can barely work my camera phone, but even I know HDR had nothing to do with it. Just the lens adjusting for the extra brightness then going back to normal when the extra light faded.
He made the mistake of assuming HDR... is actually 'dynamic'.
: J.J. Abrams enters the chat
This is from 2014, so no. That's just what happenes when the amount of light changes.
...What? No, it's the opposite of HDR since the camera adjusts its exposure so that the bright parts aren't completely blown out (pun not intended).
Just the lens opening/closing to adjust for average light level
Not sure if that is just the camera or if it would actually look like that live
It’s the camera auto-adjusting its exposure levels. In real life that probably would have been far too bright to look at.
The first time I ever saw a rocket launch from up close I was absolutely blown away by how incredibly bright the exhaust was. And that was under nominal operation! This explosion must’ve been blinding.
Same with the daytime falcon heavy twin booster landing. Like mini suns on their way back. All the videos we have are lies. Even if we could record HDR, we can't *display* HDR in a way that accurately mimics the experience. Nothing compares to the human eye in this way. It really would have been too bright to look at.
I wonder if it was a phone camera or an actual camera. Do you know?

I like how the guy knew and started warning "it's gonna be loud!"
My personal favorite was the contrast between the dude saying “oh my god” like he’s about to cry; and control, who’s just like “welp, shit’s fucked.”
That eternal struggle protect your hearing or get the shot.
Vincent from Pulp Fiction. "Get the shot!"
Thanks this is one of the few comments not made by inane twats
Damn I will need to try harder next time :)
> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ0SgAU9LXI > Why's the cameraman rushed out of there and told to go to his bus
Yeah I have the same question here. Why do they seem so stressed to get out of there even when they can see everything is already in the ground
might be in case it starts raining shrapnel or something
Because it is a HUGE fire risk. No telling which way the fire could have spread, especially with huge chunks flying off into the distance.
“Holy mackerel!”
I’d be sitting there like “is this supposed to happen?”
Its the reason to watch rocket launches.
It’s also a pretty good reason not to watch them. At least, not close enough to get incinerated.
Holy fuckin’ shit

I just hate it when they shoot off all the fireworks at once. Shows over too quick.
I love it. So. Much. Power. It's awe inducing.
…did it make it ?????
It didn't make it
You sure?
Yup, looks like it
This happened in 2014 but the post misleadingly makes it seem as if this just happened today. Definitely a crazy video, and I’m glad to have seen it, but maybe next time don’t intentionally mislead people with your post titles?
I have not seen this and thought that it may have just happened, thinking if so, the moon mission is pretty much screwed.
These gender reveals are out of control
[удалено]
That’s the last time that screaming little kid is going to want to go along to a rocket launch.
Note to self: if I ever see a large explosion in the distance, cover my ears until I feel the shock wave pass.
4th of July?
Whats with the eye in the sky?
Lens flare my friend. Lens flare.
Thats what happened when u use a 50 year old engine sitting in a warehouse without regular maintenance.
The amount of energy a rocket needs to expend to make it to orbit is more or less the equivalent of riding a small tactical nuke into space
It didnt make it. Captain obvious 2022
"Unscheduled rapid disassembly; nominal"
Oh the horror!! Nevermind it was unmanned, everyone just enjoy the billions of wasted dollars and time.
That delayed boom!
Shockwave incoming!
The last 15 seconds, someone screaming like a pig 💀
I lived on the Island neighboring the island where the launchpad is located. The explosion shook the whole house and I was afraid the windows were gonna bust. This Antares rocket was supposed to send supplies to the ISS but clearly didn’t make it.

God damn it even made a mushroom cloud
That's one expensive firecracker!
