In the hours before the accident, the group of youtubers had already uploaded several videos to their channel where they recounted how the adventure was going. An action that logically they did before knowing that their recklessness was going to end in tragedy.

Everything we do is for you, the more support you give us, the more expensive and fun content we will bring, between bets, challenges and jokes of all kinds, we will try to make you laugh at all times”.
