In 1629, when the Dutch ship Batavia wrecked off Australia's coast, over 300 survivors stranded on barren islands faced not only starvation but also a devastating mutiny led by Jeronimus Cornelisz, who murdered more than 100 survivors over several weeks, demonstrating that when civilization disappears, human nature can reveal its darkest impulses.

DID YOU KNOW? SHIPWRECK SURVIVORS TURNED INTO KILLERSAjouté :
What happens when survival turns [music] into savagery?
In 1629, the Dutch ship Batavia crashed into a coral reef off the coast of Australia.
More than 300 survivors reached small barren islands in the middle of nowhere.
No food, little water, almost no hope.
But the real danger was not the ocean.
It was one of the survivors.
A merchant named Jeronimus Cornelisz [music] slowly seized control of the stranded group. Then, the killings began.
Men, women, and children were hunted down across the islands.
Over the following weeks, more than 100 survivors were murdered. Some were drowned, some were stabbed, others simply disappeared in the night.
Fear consumed the islands.
But a small group refused to surrender.
While chaos spread, a handful of survivors escaped and searched for help.
When rescue ships finally arrived, the mutineers faced brutal [music] justice.
The Batavia disaster became one of history's darkest survival stories.
Sometimes, the greatest threat is not nature, but what humans become when civilization disappears. [music] Do you think people become monsters when survival is at stake?
