Dr Disrespect and four other streamers who faced terrifying situations on stream

1) NilsLegend

Earlier last year, in February, Swedish Counter-Strike: Global Offensive streamer NilsLegend was live on Twitch when he found himself in a rather distressing situation when it became apparent he was being robbed. Just as he prepared to engage in the tactical first-person shooter, a series of loud and persistent bangs reverberated from his front door, interrupting the moment's tranquility.

Startled by the unexpected intrusion, NilsLegend cautiously rose from his seat to investigate the source of the disturbance, only to quickly retreat to his streaming setup with visible trepidation. The situation's intensity was further revealed through a translation by Redditors on the r/LivestreamFail community, shedding light on the Twitch streamer's desperate plea for assistance.

"Ugh, they're knocking. The neighbors are knocking the... wait I need to open. What are you doing?"

In a moment of urgency, NilsLegend turned to his trusted channel moderators, individuals who shared a personal connection with him, and implored them to contact the police for assistance.

"What? What are you doing? Can someone call the cops? Call the cops, you know where I live."

2) Sajdene

This is possibly one of the earliest recorded terrifying incidents on Amazon's coveted streaming platform that took place way back in 2014. Prominent figures of the Dota 2 community Nikki "Sajedene" Elise and Shannon "SUNSfan" Scotten, were robbed at gunpoint while on stream.

Amid an enjoyable Dota 2 session, the atmosphere shifted as unsettling sounds of banging and shouting pierced through the couple's door. Reacting swiftly, Sajdene sprang into action, keen to assess the unfolding situation.

Within moments, a chilling sight appeared on the streamer's webcam: a figure donning a full-black attire and a face mask, brandishing a firearm. As the Twitch streamer watched in shock, the intruder ransacked the room, methodically pillaging various items for approximately three minutes.

3) Dr Disrespect

During a live stream in 2018, the then-popular Twitch streamer and current YouTuber Herschel "Dr DisRespect" became aware of a concerning situation while streaming a game called Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. During all the action, Doc 'distinctly' heard gunshots aimed at his residence. This prompted him to leave the vicinity of the camera to investigate and assess the incident before returning to his microphone to explain the circumstances briefly.

“Broke the f**king upstairs window. This is the second shot, someone shot yesterday, at our f**king house and someone shot again right now, connected with the house, upstairs.”

Following the unfortunate occurrence, Doc promptly contacted the local authorities to report that his residence had been targeted by gunfire while he was streaming. Thankfully, the streamer's family members remained unharmed throughout the incident, providing relief amidst the unsettling circumstances.

4) Kirmizikep

The next entry on the list features yet another terrifying situation, with the notable difference being it was caused by the forces of nature instead of human agency. Turkish streamer Burak "Kirmizikep" found himself in a harrowing situation as an earthquake struck the area while broadcasting live on Twitch. As the tremors intensified, the streamer swiftly vacated his seat, seeking refuge, possibly under a table, while the camera captured the intense shaking before the connection was lost.

This chilling video quickly spread across the internet, captivating viewers' attention and sparking numerous discussions, including on the popular subreddit r/LivestreamFail, where people expressed deep concern. It was later revealed Turkey experienced a devastating earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale. The impact was felt in multiple regions of the country, resulting in the tragic loss of over 50,783 lives and leaving approximately 107,204 injured across 11 of the 17 affected provinces of Turkey.

5) JadeyAnh

During an incident in early 2021, Twitch streamer JadeyAnh encountered one of the most unsettling moments ever witnessed on a live stream. A disturbing turn of events occurred when an unknown individual, who had obtained her phone number, called her during the stream. JadeyAnh courageously shared alarming revelations about a persistent stalker who subjected her to verbal abuse, culminating in terrifying threats for her family's safety.

On the call, the caller demanded that she engage in inappropriate behavior in front of the camera, accompanied by a shocking threat to harm her father if she refused.

Thankfully, it was later revealed that the threat was a cruel hoax. JadeyAnh acted swiftly, contacting the authorities after the call concluded, and it was confirmed that her father was safe and unharmed.
