  • Well, I never knew Matt personally. But it is impossible not to be moved by this tribute. I swear I did not believe he had died and whenever I watch a rerun of discoverychannel I am moved again. Will be marked smile and happiness on his face from him after that interception. I believe that today he is an Angel of the Winds. Congratulations storm chasers, we want Brazilian Strength and Happiness!

  • po sacanagem o cara era gente boa!!

  • For all of you get your facts straight, it said he died of a fatal accident sustained at home. The Discovery channel once again lied to us about what really happened. He committed suicide

  • @bamagirl098 They aren't going to give details like that. They didn't lie to us.

  • god bless u...

    

  • We'll miss you Matt from now and days to come.

  • When this aired I was sitting down in the living room wayching this and at first I was so happy I was cheeseing and when Matt's picture popped up and said that he gone I was about to explode in tears. I don't even know him and it felt like I had known him like I was close friends with him.

    To me I feel that no matter where you're from,how old or young you are, wheter you're a storm chaser or not, a meteorologist or not if you love or have a strong interset for the same thing, then we're all fam

  • @Kistofer94 I did and felt the same!

  • ...a reason for storm chasing is the memories from storms and places, recalling the exhilaration at your first twister--as if you had not changed or aged at all, but were again young and free as the winds you followed. And there are memories of family, friends and good times… --Dave Hoadley, 1982

    I will always remember that smile on Matt’s face after his successful intercept. I hope that wherever he is--he is in that joyous moment, free as the wind.

  • why

  • He didn't kill himself. He was in a fatal acciendent.

  • @cloXandXem Explain? :O

  • @Kiewicz92 Sorry, this was when I didn't know that he commited suicide. Now I know.

  • Maby he ran to close to the tornado and died

  • How sad that he died :(

  • @bozerabc.. i don't think he did kill himself he might of fallen down stairs or if he did.. so what this video wasn't so you( any of you) could call him an asshole it was to praise his success and remember him as a brave n couragous storm chaser RIP Matt :)

  • Wow. What an asshole. Fucking stupid fucking kills himself. Dick

  • @bozerabc123 You, Quit talkin' bout yourself like that. Matt Hughes was Happy as a storm chaser, You could see it all over his face. To commit such an act isn't always stupid, sometimes the world out there just seems too much better than this one here. So, next time you disrespect ANYONE, I suggest you think about it for a LONG time first. And that goes well sais for anyone else, too. So shut your face. Thanks, Sweety.

  • @dominodot321 are you a fag?

    

  • @bozerabc123 You are hilarious. No, I don't happen to be a French Cigarette. But I've met one. XD Now, you disrespectful piece of poo, Shut your face please(: You shouldn't talk to ladies like the way you are.

  • R.I.P :(

  • Once you reach the top found your goals,

    , where do you go? The only way is down. Thats depression. Hopefully you bounce right back but otherwise you feel lost, like there is nothing left to find.

  • I cried when they showed that moment on the episode, probably because they used such an emotionally hitting song. One thing about it is, you may not cry, but you'll definitely feel that knot in the back of the throat.

  • No matter how bad you feel from an illness like depression suicide is not the answer, it's a permanent solution to a temporary problem. talk to someone get help .

    The pain of those left behind is to costly a price for the release. Believe me things can and will change.

  • HOPE TO JOIN U SOME DAY EVEN THOUGH I'M 15

  • I'm sorry for how bad u feel:(

  • as it is called the subject

  • he was awsome RELLY AWSOME

  • How can u guys give mean comments about this happy person. You all know life is not a game where u have unlimited lives. I wish luck to his wife and kids. Rest in peace, Matt Hughes. You will be missed.

  • Comment removed

  • I'll HAVE to throw those 12 people into the tornado....

  • He's chasin' tornadoes in the great beyond now.

  • God is forgiving. Too bad hateful people are not. R. I. P. Matt. You will be missed by those who count

  • I enjoyed watching Matt's dreams come true while storm chasing.  It is a shame to see so many hateful comments about someone else's tragedy. It's the reason we will continue to see people commit suicides from those who suffer silently from depression. Without understanding, how can anyone feel like they can seek help. May u haters never suffer the way he did and have people spit on ur grave. That is the true sin. God don't like ugly! Shame on u. At least Matt is now where he won't be judged.

  • Couldn't help wonder if his wife actually found him hanging with his pants around his ankles and his pecker in his hand and just pulled his drawers up and told people he was depressed.

  • I liked Matt he was so awesome he will always be with the tiv ;(

  • :( Sad.....

  • 12 people have no heart, you heartless son of a bitches

  • He was one of the greatest stormchasers.

  • how can some one dislike this??

  • didn't he jump in the tornado and kill his self i am still thinking why would he do that??

  • @isabelle56232 No. He committed suicide. He tried to hang himself.

  • @DarkMistHD how did he fail at hanging himself? They said he died a week later, if he tried hanging himself..that doesn't make sense. He must have tried another way

  • @whole27 From TMZ. TMZ confirmed with Valley Center PD ... on May 14 they responded to a suicide call at Hughes' home. According to the police report, officers concluded Matt, who was still breathing, was drinking before the suicide attempt.

    We're told Matt was taken to a local hospital -- but passed away 13 days later. The Medical Examiner's report lists "Hanging" as the cause of death.

  • I don't get it, he looked so happy in every single episode, why would he commit suicide?

  • @MrBornwarrior Unfortunately, all I can say is... You cannot judge a book by it's cover.

  • @Tediz5 True that

  • @MrBornwarrior

    Unfortunately, it's rather difficult to explain to someone who doesn't suffer from depression. I suffer from it and my cousin killed himself from it back on Halloween of '99. Despite the fact I have family and friends who deeply care for me, it's hard to ignore sometimes the loneliness you feel. People probably want to say, well, why dont you just become happy? It's not that easy, at all.

    Sometimes people use happiness as a front, sometimes it's real, but it still claws at you.

  • @Lazera I understand you, I'm 14 and I had my downs in life to before, but still, he had wonderful friends, he could've talked about it

  • @MrBornwarrior he commited suicide?? really?? thats terrible, cuz the video said he died from a fatal injury, either way it's still tragic, r.i.p man

  • @MrBornwarrior That's the thing about severe depression. Matt was so happy in his chasing atmosphere, but what about at home, or away from the fun? It clouds even the best of people's judgement until suicide is the only rational way out to some sufferers. Many people have loathed Hughes for his actions and leaving his family behind, but unless those people have inherited clinical depression from either side of their family, they can't assume they know what his intentions were.

  • @MrBornwarrior He was actually very depressed.

  • R.I.P. Matt Hughes

  • OMG!! I didn't know he died. That's just sad and that he went the way he did, is shocking.

  • =( i made a slideshow about him. i miss him sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much

  • We will all miss him

  • Comment removed

  • We will miss him greatly! Im glad he got to see and be in a tornado before he passed.

  • Cindyvision fuck off. Why don't you tell everyone else the same fucking thing, they are post comments just like mine. Get your head out of your ass.

  • Sean is a dick. He let matt navigate one time. And he got into a tornado. Then he died. How does sean feel

  • @13bobear You are a prick for even making such a statement. Where do you get your facts from? Oh yeah, that's right, a heavily edited TV show.

  • @13bobear t's easy to say that after the events ... I think Sean seemed to feel badly! No matter what you died Matt, we miss you, rest in peace !!!

  • @SuperChillaz - Theres no peace for a person who ends their own life. His soul is in Hell. Thats the price we pay for ending our own game. Suicide is a greedy and spinless thing to do to those who love you.

  • @HardRokMiner If there is a hell then it is for hateful pieces of shit like you, not for the depressed.

  • Rest in peace matt. You are very loved by the whole storm chasing comunity. Where you are up above I hope you are having fun.....and perhaps now you can see the inside of a tornado. <3

  • But how did he die.........RIP Matt

  • @123pkerdevil Matt Huges atemptted suicide on may 16 (Due to depresson.), but failed to die. He sufferd from a magor ingury, he died 10 days later, not long after his torenado intercept. R.I.P. Matt Huges, May 26, 2010.

  • @t3hl34tne55 thats a leaf

  • @t3hl34tne55 whats a orb??

  • Let remember people he took his own life. Now that's a sin. No matter what's going on in your life deal with it figure out how to get through it, by taking you own life you may have fixed your problem but now you have fuck up your kids,wife and family for ever.

    Fuck him. I work as a medic and seen the aftermath of them killing them selves. It suck and it stays with you for ever.

  • @natdan1125 Nobody gives a shit about your beliefs. He's dead and that's all that matters.

  • That is so sad! I so wish he hadn't taken his own life! But at least he got to have the intercept he promised.

  • Matt you were a very generous and caring man. We miss you every day buddy.

  • Ow man, this makes me cry, and remebers me of my dark days when my family almost lost me...

    R.I.P Matt

  • R.I.P from SLOVAKIA

  • we all miss you matt

  • thks matt make me happy!! miss you

  • what was the title of the at 1:12???

  • @aeuogoiu123 over the rainbow

  • You know, Matt battled a demon that ultimately destroys many of us... unfortunately he fell victim to that demon. Depression is no joking or laughing matter. He had no control of it, and even though he looked happy, that last chase was probably the happiest he had been in years. :`( When a depressed person faces the fact that they may not be that happy again in a long time, then that's when the demon strikes... and all to often it kills when it does. I will miss you Matt, RIP my friend.

  • what was the title of the song 1:12 so i could remember him, Matt Hughes, the best storm chaser on earth :(

  • @enavilarc29 over the rainbow

  • What a selfish bastard leaving his two sons and a wife behind . Coward

  • Matt may your soul Rest In Peace in heaven with almighty god

  • At the end of the show I was so happy Matt finally got the respect he deserves and proved to Sean that he was worth it. I told myself I would finnally sleep good tonight, until I saw the ending. My face fell and I defenetly did not sleep good that night.

  • @FiveCentsPlease, I was referring to the full episode on TV, not this YouTube clip. It was only at the very end of the hour-long episode that they divulged that he died at home.

  • This episode was deceptively edited to imply that Hughes' death was the result of the tornado they were chasing. The show opens with the dedication to his memory, but no mention that his death was not storm-related. Then the editors stitched together every segment to suggest that Hughes' death-by-tornado was coming up after each commercial. It was a crass, tasteless enticement of viewers' bloodlust. If they wanted to honor his memory, they shouldn't have used his death as a suspense device.

  • @colipoo

    The captions said he died at his home. It can't be any more explanatory than that. Put down the tin-foil hat.

  • @colipoo The episode states he suffered "a fatal injury at home". I'm not sure how you'd necessarily conclude that it was because of the tornado they were chasing, considering he wasn't even injured.

  • @MeanGene79 As I said before, they wait until the VERY END of the episode to explain that he died at home. At the beginning, they just say that he's dead, and that this is his "final chase." Then every commercial break is preceded by a tease that something catastrophic is about to happen. It was a clever move by the editors -- clever and tasteless.

  • @colipoo Well, I guess I should admit I heard the rumours of Matt's suicide before this episode even aired. I guess that's why I didn't read that much into the captions in the episode.

  • someone should make a wiki page of him

  • How can people think their life is that bad, that they need to kill themelves...

    How could you be so god dam selfish, now 2 kids are going to grow up without a daddy because he couldn't man up and face his troubles; I have no sympathy for him whatsoever.

    Sure he may have had depression issues, who dosn't? It makes me sick to think he found his life so bad that he needed to end it.

    My condolences to his wife and children they don't deserve this.

  • Its so sad what happened to Matt. When watching that episode who could have known it would have been suicide. I mean they had some tense and stressful situations but he seemed so happy when they actually did use the TIV to intercept the tornado. At the begining of the episode when they said it was dedicated to the memory of Matt Huges. I thought he was going to die on that episode by a tornado related accident. In any case its very shocking news and so sad. He was a great guy. RIP

  • RIP Matt! You were awesome! Sincere sympathy to his family..The show won't be the same as it was..

  • Unbelievable. This is a tribute to Matt; a tribute! As I read all of wasted words below, I hang my head in disbelief. Watch this, remember Matt and respectfully leave it at that.

    R.I.P Matt.

  • I cannot understand or reach the idea of why this man commited suicide :S

    he was a very great man and a very skilled Storm Chaser, and I loved his last chase and how excited he was.

    RIP Matt

  • Twelve people were pointed at and laughed at by Matt Hughes.

  • @ShadowRun221 STFU!

  • I was just through watching season 3 of this fantastic series, I wanted a sneeky peek at season 4 and found this video, I must say, I am saddened by the loss of a great storm chaser with the ability to find a storm and head into it with no fear whatsoever, it truly is a sad feeling to me to find this video.

    Rest in Peace Matt, I will not forget the contributions you made to the series and ultimately, science as a whole. Perhaps the work he did will improve the tornado warning system.

  • R.I.P Matt, you will be missed, so glad that he managed to get inside a tornado on his last chase, and all you sick bastards, why is it any of your business how he died, I'm sure if his family had wanted you to know, then we would have been told in that episode. :(

  • What happened  too him

  • Bye Matt,:(

  • @sychiphantt he was depressed I didn't want to commit suicide and it is sad so please don't call him a coward. Btw rest in peace Matt you will be missed
