3
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:16.760
<v Speaker 1>and even elevators. Man made machines like these are often

00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:29.359
<v Speaker 1>she was trapped in an elevator and the only thing

7
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:33.399
<v Speaker 1>is no one was coming to save her, and she

8
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:37.439
<v Speaker 1>was left alone, waiting and dying.

<v Speaker 2>I was all grumpy and so I was swearing away.

32
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:05.680
<v Speaker 2>And when I swear, Ripley comes to like comfort me.

33
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:08.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she's she's like a therapy doug that way. She

<v Speaker 1>can sense if you're like upset totally.

35
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Because sometimes if I'm like working at home alone and

77
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:20.839
<v Speaker 1>which case we want to cover, So I think we're

78
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:22.160
<v Speaker 1>going to throw it over to them a little more

79
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:24.480
<v Speaker 1>often on which case we should be doing.

80
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:26.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I have a giant list right now, so I

81
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:28.120
<v Speaker 2>might need some help.

82
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:28.839
<v Speaker 1>A big old list.

83
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:29.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

84
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:31.759
<v Speaker 1>One of the things that was on our list for

85
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:34.199
<v Speaker 1>a long time was to start a Twitter page.

86
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:39.040
<v Speaker 2>Apparently it was and apparently it was, well I don't know,

87
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:40.240
<v Speaker 2>I knew it was on our list, and then all

88
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:41.639
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, I just came home one day. We

89
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:42.160
<v Speaker 2>have Twitter.

90
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

91
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:44.720
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh my gosh, I don't even know

92
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:46.319
<v Speaker 2>what to use Twitter, But okay, we.

93
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Got Twitter now. Yeah, we officially have six followers over

<v Speaker 2>You do you do the tweeting or give us some tips?

97
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, tell us how to use the app because we've

98
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:01.240
<v Speaker 1>never used Twitter before. So yeah, head on over there,

<v Speaker 1>find us and follow us and talk to us and chill.

100
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:07.160
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I'm definitely the best on Instagram Facebook.

101
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:10.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm not bad at but I don't like seem like

102
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:11.800
<v Speaker 2>I put as much effort into it anymore as I

103
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:15.040
<v Speaker 2>used to. Fair, But yeah, Instagram is the shit. But yeah,

104
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.839
<v Speaker 2>it's good to branch out. It's good to learn new things.

105
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:20.720
<v Speaker 1>It is. And speaking of branching out, we actually did

106
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.639
<v Speaker 1>another blog post too on our website because we got

107
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:25.639
<v Speaker 1>to start doing that more often we do, so I

108
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:28.920
<v Speaker 1>think that's officially our second blog post on wickedinggrim dot com.

109
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:32.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and it was about us being in the two percent.

131
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:28.720

132
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:30.279
<v Speaker 1>still in delicious cheese sandwiches.

133
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I cannot. I will never ever be able to

134
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.879
<v Speaker 2>say delicious without thinking delicious cheese.

135
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:38.759
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of that, though, Tom Green, if you guys don't.

136
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:43.040
<v Speaker 2>Know, I also ate the most moldiest piece of cheese

137
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.959
<v Speaker 2>in history today, smooth, and didn't even notice until I

138
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:48.079
<v Speaker 2>went to take a second bite.

139
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:49.639
<v Speaker 1>Tell us the story. Indulgous.

140
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:52.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it's just disgusting. Like my stomach actually hurt most

141
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:53.519
<v Speaker 2>to day. But I don't know if that was in

142
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:55.759
<v Speaker 2>my head or the mold was actually grown in there.

143
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm growing in there, all right.

144
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:01.079
<v Speaker 2>But basically, I have to take this like it was

145
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:03.480
<v Speaker 2>a cheese stick thing. Take it from the fridge, put

146
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:07.319
<v Speaker 2>in my lunch, open that cheese, said cheese stick. Take

147
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:10.040
<v Speaker 2>a bite. It tastes like absolute shit. But I was like, oh,

148
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:12.439
<v Speaker 2>maybe my mouth just tastes funny, Like what the fuck

149
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:17.639
<v Speaker 2>eat some crackers? Go to take another bite? Holy fuck,

150
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:21.000
<v Speaker 2>mold stick, this mold the whole thing was like green.

151
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:23.439
<v Speaker 2>You didn't even I was like, okay, well, I'm on

152
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:25.399
<v Speaker 2>my way to take photos right now. And now clearly

153
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:29.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm not in an observant state whatsoever, so this photo

154
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:30.680
<v Speaker 2>shoot might not go so well.

155
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:32.839
<v Speaker 1>But she knocked it out of the park.

156
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:34.879
<v Speaker 2>Bill I did, but I need to be more observant

157
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:36.439
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to eating cheese.

158
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Fair enough, all right, Well, cheese aside, mold a side.

159
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:41.839
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmmm.

160
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:43.439
<v Speaker 1>You're ready to get on with this case?

161
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:44.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm still ready?

162
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:51.319
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well, fore warning, this is fucking crazy. Yeah, that's

163
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:52.759
<v Speaker 1>all I really got to say. It's it's a rather

164
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:54.959
<v Speaker 1>short episode. There's not a whole lot of information to

165
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.480
<v Speaker 1>go on with this one, but it's it's a wild ride.

166
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:00.279
<v Speaker 2>So I am very intrigued because it seems it's like

167
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.439
<v Speaker 2>a case that I can't comprehend. So I do need

168
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:04.759
<v Speaker 2>to learn a little bit more about this.

169
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:08.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's it's got that wow factor. Let's put it

170
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:09.199
<v Speaker 1>that way.

171
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:11.839
<v Speaker 2>M hmm, like somebody fucked up. Wow.

172
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Uh yeah, let's put that way up. That's a really

173
00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:16.839
<v Speaker 1>good way of putting it. Okay, So here it goes.

174
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:19.680
<v Speaker 2>You ready, I'm ready.

175
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:23.800
<v Speaker 1>You'd had to finish taking your sip. Sorry, bad timing. Okay, Well,

176
00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:27.920
<v Speaker 1>our story takes place in a city called Xian. I

177
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:31.680
<v Speaker 1>think I said that right, No ci ci Cian China.

178
00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:34.840
<v Speaker 1>I literally researched how to say it, like for half

179
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:35.440
<v Speaker 1>fucking minutes.

180
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:37.679
<v Speaker 2>That's literally every episode.

181
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:39.720
<v Speaker 1>I think it's how you say it. Okay, that's so

182
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:44.200
<v Speaker 1>x I a Nann and Sheanne has a rich history

183
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:48.200
<v Speaker 1>and culture that dives deep into like literally our history,

184
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.799
<v Speaker 1>like way fucking back. And it's home to incredible tourism

185
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:56.279
<v Speaker 1>with of course delicious food, and it's renowned for its

186
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:59.960
<v Speaker 1>terra Cotta Army. Now, the terrrat car Cotta Army is

187
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:05.360
<v Speaker 1>a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting an army for the

188
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:09.840
<v Speaker 1>first Emperor of China. All the sculptured art pieces were

189
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.759
<v Speaker 1>actually buried with the emperor in twenty ten to sorry

190
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:17.399
<v Speaker 1>two hundred ten and two hundred and nine BCE, with

191
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:20.120
<v Speaker 1>the purpose of protecting the emperor. And it's in is afterlife.

192
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:21.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's really cool.

193
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:25.240
<v Speaker 1>There are eight thousand of these life size terracotta fucking statues.

194
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:28.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, isn't terra cotta the it's clay. Yeah, but

195
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:30.159
<v Speaker 2>it's like very fragile.

196
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:30.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

197
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like I've I don't know how I'm the pots

198
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.559
<v Speaker 2>that I've had, I've broken that was our terracotta, right.

199
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:38.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like those like red and rounds, this terracotta.

200
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.240
<v Speaker 2>That's really cool though, to like visualize that.

201
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:44.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So there's eight thousand of these terra cotta soldiers

202
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:47.840
<v Speaker 1>life size, and each one has an estimated value of

203
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>four point five million dollars US.

204
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:53.080
<v Speaker 2>So can you see them, like are they visible like

205
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:54.879
<v Speaker 2>or are they like.

206
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:56.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what they have for the tourism aspect

207
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:58.000
<v Speaker 1>of it, but you can go on Google and see

208
00:09:58.000 --> 00:09:58.840
<v Speaker 1>a picture of all of them.

209
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:00.919
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I was just curious to you visit them, right,

210
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:02.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure there's.

211
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:04.039
<v Speaker 1>Some in the museum, but I'm pretty sure most of

212
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:06.279
<v Speaker 1>them are like stowed away and you can probably visit

213
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:07.639
<v Speaker 1>the site where they were excavated.

214
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:08.360
<v Speaker 2>That's fair.

215
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, But anyways, just want to get into that a

216
00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:13.440
<v Speaker 1>little bit because it was really cool. But hian is

217
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.440
<v Speaker 1>a bustling city with a population of around eight point

218
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.320
<v Speaker 1>five million people and around six point nine million million

219
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:23.679
<v Speaker 1>people in twenty sixteen when our story takes place.

220
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.159
<v Speaker 2>Good lord, I can't imagine living in a city that large.

221
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:29.320
<v Speaker 1>It's massive.

222
00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:31.799
<v Speaker 2>We don't even have one hundred thousand people in our city,

223
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:35.879
<v Speaker 2>and sometimes I'm like, why are there so many people everywhere?

224
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:39.840
<v Speaker 1>People are fucking annoying, let's put that way. So being

225
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.039
<v Speaker 1>in Chianne, being that it's a busy city with an

226
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.879
<v Speaker 1>enormous amount of people, it's reasonable to expect that to

227
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.120
<v Speaker 1>keep up with demands of such thing as like maybe maintenance,

228
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.000
<v Speaker 1>companies had to look for contractors to keep tabs on

229
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:57.320
<v Speaker 1>their facilities so they can focus on other aspects of

230
00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:01.120
<v Speaker 1>their business. Now, one business that took advance of this

231
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.600
<v Speaker 1>were property managers and developers. It just made more sense

232
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:08.320
<v Speaker 1>to have, you know, professionals come in to the scene

233
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:11.960
<v Speaker 1>and fix everything, pay them and be on their way. Now,

234
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:16.879
<v Speaker 1>in theory, this works great. However, in practice, as we

235
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:21.720
<v Speaker 1>will soon find out, that wasn't quite the case. Now

236
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:25.399
<v Speaker 1>there's a woman who has only been identified by her

237
00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:29.200
<v Speaker 1>last name Wu. She lived on the fifteenth floor of

238
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:33.320
<v Speaker 1>an apartment building surrounded by millions of other people. Now,

239
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Wu was a forty three year old woman who stuck

240
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:39.879
<v Speaker 1>to herself. Her neighbors didn't see much of her and

241
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:42.399
<v Speaker 1>assumed her to be a bit of a loaner, but

242
00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:44.399
<v Speaker 1>polite enough when they did meet her in the hall

243
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:45.440
<v Speaker 1>in the apartment buildings.

244
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:47.120
<v Speaker 2>So she lived alone.

245
00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Yep, she lived alone, just kind of chilled by herself

246
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:53.000
<v Speaker 1>sort of thing. Now, Wu's family would also tell a

247
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.360
<v Speaker 1>bit of small similar details, saying that she liked to

248
00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:58.559
<v Speaker 1>keep to herself and also had a history of mental illness,

249
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:02.600
<v Speaker 1>though that history of mental illness wasn't disclosed on exactly

250
00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:06.360
<v Speaker 1>what that means, but something like that would, I'm sure

251
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:09.200
<v Speaker 1>would be even more difficult to deal with when surrounded

252
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:11.639
<v Speaker 1>by millions of people in a bustling city like that.

253
00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:16.639
<v Speaker 1>And yes, her apartment was undoubtedly her sanctuary.

254
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:20.039
<v Speaker 2>I actually just want to touch on that because I've

255
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:23.120
<v Speaker 2>been like to Vancouver quite often and like when you're

256
00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:25.360
<v Speaker 2>on the skytrain and stuff, you're literally like, I mean,

257
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:27.200
<v Speaker 2>this is kind of pretty covid. I guess it might

258
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:29.480
<v Speaker 2>be back to this, but you're like shoulder to shoulder,

259
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:33.159
<v Speaker 2>which is so many people, but like you're just it's

260
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:35.559
<v Speaker 2>like the feeling of just being lonely, Like no one

261
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:37.600
<v Speaker 2>says anything, no one even tries to look at you,

262
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:40.360
<v Speaker 2>like they avoid eye contact, like someone's living in big cities.

263
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:41.440
<v Speaker 2>It's like lonely as heck.

264
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and Vancouver is a small city compared to someplace

265
00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:48.279
<v Speaker 1>it is. Yeah, so yeah, it's you're completely disconnected. You're

266
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:51.840
<v Speaker 1>to yourself, and yeah, you're surrounded by people, but you're completely.

267
00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:55.639
<v Speaker 2>Alone, like at least here. I mean, gosh, every daily

268
00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:58.039
<v Speaker 2>you go by, like you're probably smiling at a stranger, right,

269
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.120
<v Speaker 2>there's at least like some sort of contact per se.

270
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, that's true. Someone holds a door open for you,

271
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:07.679
<v Speaker 1>or there's small talk at the cashier register at the

272
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:09.559
<v Speaker 1>grocery store, things like that, right.

273
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:12.360
<v Speaker 2>Which sometimes can be like so annoying, But then I

274
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:13.799
<v Speaker 2>mean comparatively, maybe it's not.

275
00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And I mean we bitch about it too lots,

276
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:18.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, or you run into someone from you know

277
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:20.399
<v Speaker 1>high school that you have to have that small talk

278
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:23.559
<v Speaker 1>conversation with or whatever, or maybe a family member or

279
00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:25.519
<v Speaker 1>whatever that you haven't seen in years, and you're like,

280
00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:27.159
<v Speaker 1>I got to get on my way, but I got

281
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:30.080
<v Speaker 1>to talk to this person. Oh it's annoying. But I

282
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:32.759
<v Speaker 1>mean those that makes us not feel quite so alone,

283
00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:33.840
<v Speaker 1>whether we realize it or not.

284
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, So, yeah, I know there's always a moment in

285
00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:38.919
<v Speaker 2>my head is like how can I get out of

286
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:42.720
<v Speaker 2>this situation? But then usually I can't, and then it's

287
00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:46.120
<v Speaker 2>like enjoyable. So I don't know, that's just me being me.

288
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:51.919
<v Speaker 1>So what you're saying is, bitch, leave me alone. Well, anyways,

289
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:57.159
<v Speaker 1>we're going back to the date. On January thirtieth, twenty sixteen. Now,

290
00:13:57.200 --> 00:13:59.639
<v Speaker 1>Wu found herself leaving her apartment to venture off into

291
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:02.639
<v Speaker 1>the busy city. As she reached the elevator, as she

292
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:05.399
<v Speaker 1>always did, she pressed her button and she waited. The

293
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:09.039
<v Speaker 1>elevator doors closed behind her, but Wu wouldn't make it

294
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:12.279
<v Speaker 1>to the floor she wanted to. You see, the elevator

295
00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:16.879
<v Speaker 1>malfunctioned with Wu inside, and it stopped stuck between the

296
00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:21.320
<v Speaker 1>ninth and tenth floor, leaving her stranded inside the elevator

297
00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:22.840
<v Speaker 1>completely alone.

298
00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I just hate that.

299
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:29.639
<v Speaker 1>And luckily, of course, the maintenance department were quickly notified

300
00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:32.399
<v Speaker 1>as soon as malfunction was discovered and they came to

301
00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:37.000
<v Speaker 1>the scene for the repairs. So upon the arrival the

302
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:41.559
<v Speaker 1>repair men got there and Wu must I mean, I'm

303
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:43.519
<v Speaker 1>not going to say I know how long she was

304
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:45.200
<v Speaker 1>in there for. I can't find a report on that,

305
00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:47.480
<v Speaker 1>but Wu mustn't have been waiting very long. I'm going

306
00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:52.120
<v Speaker 1>to assume maybe like somewhere like under an hour. But anyways,

307
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:54.639
<v Speaker 1>the two men got to the scene, but they were

308
00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:59.240
<v Speaker 1>rather hurried. So it was January thirtieth after all, which

309
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:02.720
<v Speaker 1>is you know, and Chinese New Year, and Chinese New Year,

310
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:06.720
<v Speaker 1>also called the Lunar New Year, has an annual fifteen

311
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:10.600
<v Speaker 1>day festival in China, and Chinese communities around the world

312
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:15.879
<v Speaker 1>celebrate this. Their workdays must have been long, these two individuals.

313
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure with jobs that a lot of people book

314
00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:22.440
<v Speaker 1>vacation off before the holidays, during the holidays, after the

315
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:25.440
<v Speaker 1>holidays because of all the celebrations going on, and of

316
00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:30.320
<v Speaker 1>course businesses shut down, so it's pretty strapped for employees

317
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:32.799
<v Speaker 1>to be working. People are rushed, they want to get home,

318
00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:36.600
<v Speaker 1>whether they're you know, tired of their long day shift

319
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:40.080
<v Speaker 1>or they're on their edge for vacation as well. And

320
00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:42.879
<v Speaker 1>being on the verge of vacation is exactly what was

321
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:43.600
<v Speaker 1>happening here.

322
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:45.720
<v Speaker 2>So your mind is just solely somewhere else.

323
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Yep, you're just like, I just want to get home.

324
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:49.519
<v Speaker 1>I just want to get off the job.

325
00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:51.440
<v Speaker 2>We've all been there, Oh totally.

326
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:53.519
<v Speaker 1>We're watching the clock, you know, it's like, you know,

327
00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:55.679
<v Speaker 1>it's four point thirty. I get off at five o'clock.

328
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:58.320
<v Speaker 1>That last half hours ticking by because you just just

329
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:00.639
<v Speaker 1>want to go, and you end up like darting for

330
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:04.679
<v Speaker 1>the door like three minutes early, but your your bag

331
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:07.440
<v Speaker 1>is packed like five minutes early, and you're already dumping

332
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:09.519
<v Speaker 1>out the remainder of your coffee cup, you know, ten

333
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:10.960
<v Speaker 1>minutes early and washing out your cup.

334
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:12.159
<v Speaker 2>You're ready to roll, you know.

335
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:16.720
<v Speaker 1>So that's kind of the situation here. Their maintenance business

336
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:19.200
<v Speaker 1>was closing for the holidays, and that's exactly what was

337
00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:22.480
<v Speaker 1>going on, and the repair men decided to hold off

338
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:26.360
<v Speaker 1>on fixing this elevator until they got back from their vacation.

339
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy, so of course we know WU is inside

340
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:34.639
<v Speaker 1>and the two men didn't know this. So what they

341
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:37.480
<v Speaker 1>did is they shouted into the elevator to see if

342
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.960
<v Speaker 1>they could hear if anyone was inside. They didn't hear

343
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:43.080
<v Speaker 1>any reply.

344
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Why not?

345
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Don't know.

346
00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Was it like soundproof? Don't know, because that's like another

347
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:54.600
<v Speaker 2>thing that I'm just curious, like, wouldn't you be like

348
00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:58.480
<v Speaker 2>yelling and like, I mean, you think someone would hear you,

349
00:16:58.519 --> 00:16:59.919
<v Speaker 2>even like someone living in the rest.

350
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and that's it's hard to say why no one

351
00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:09.079
<v Speaker 1>heard Wu. It's hard to say if these men actually

352
00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:12.440
<v Speaker 1>did call out to her, but they claimed they called

353
00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:15.680
<v Speaker 1>out and tried to see if anyone was in the elevator.

354
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:17.839
<v Speaker 2>My brain is so peer I never even went there.

355
00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:19.839
<v Speaker 2>They could have just been shipped their jobs and not

356
00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:23.440
<v Speaker 2>even actually checked. And then just later when it's found

357
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:26.680
<v Speaker 2>out that shit went down, then they're like, oh, we joked.

358
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:29.359
<v Speaker 2>It's so easy to say, not saying that they didn't,

359
00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:30.880
<v Speaker 2>not saying that they didn't.

360
00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:34.039
<v Speaker 1>So they the claim is that they shouted to see

361
00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:36.279
<v Speaker 1>if there was anyone inside, and they did not hear

362
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:40.440
<v Speaker 1>a reply. So the two men simply disabled the elevator

363
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:43.240
<v Speaker 1>so no one could use it and then left with

364
00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:48.000
<v Speaker 1>of course Wu still trapped inside and this is one

365
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:51.279
<v Speaker 1>hundred and ten percent against any sort of workplace protocol

366
00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:54.480
<v Speaker 1>for this situation. The men, if leaving the elevator like this,

367
00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:58.279
<v Speaker 1>would have known that they are supposed to manually open

368
00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:02.119
<v Speaker 1>the elevator to ensure it was empty before leaving it unattended.

369
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:05.599
<v Speaker 1>They literally need to make sure they look inside, not

370
00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:08.680
<v Speaker 1>just be like it was up anyone in there.

371
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:12.319
<v Speaker 2>Like, it's so good, and that was like a rule

372
00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:14.359
<v Speaker 2>at the time, right, not something that came to be

373
00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:18.599
<v Speaker 2>after correct. Okay, that's so good because I just feel

374
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:20.759
<v Speaker 2>like at this point, I was like, I'm never going

375
00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:25.160
<v Speaker 2>in another elevator. But no, that that's.

376
00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:27.039
<v Speaker 1>What they're supposed to do. If they're leaving it unattended

377
00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:29.960
<v Speaker 1>like that and disabling it or whatever, they need to

378
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:35.000
<v Speaker 1>ensure there is no one inside. I mean, it's it's

379
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:35.720
<v Speaker 1>pretty basic.

380
00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, that makes sense.

381
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:42.039
<v Speaker 1>Really, But regardless they chose not to do this. These

382
00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:46.759
<v Speaker 1>two men made a distinctive choice to walk away without

383
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:48.119
<v Speaker 1>checking the inside.

384
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:49.799
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, that's cringey.

385
00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:55.079
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So they walked away and alone inside, Wu must

386
00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:57.799
<v Speaker 1>have heard the men cry out for her. If they did,

387
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:00.839
<v Speaker 1>she must have heard them, and she must have cried

388
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:04.000
<v Speaker 1>out for help. Even banging on the doors to get

389
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:10.119
<v Speaker 1>their attention, but somehow it went unanswered. Now, I guarantee

390
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:14.440
<v Speaker 1>you she thought they must be coming back. They will

391
00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:16.880
<v Speaker 1>go off, they'll need to do what they do, get

392
00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:20.440
<v Speaker 1>tools or whatever, and they'll back any minute. And so

393
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Wu inevitably waited and waited. Hours passed, and eventually it

394
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:36.240
<v Speaker 1>was the next day, and eventually it was the next day. Slowly,

395
00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:40.119
<v Speaker 1>Wu would have begun suffering from the effects of dehydration

396
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:44.400
<v Speaker 1>before she would have realized no one was coming to

397
00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:49.200
<v Speaker 1>get her. She tried and tried to pry the door open,

398
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:52.920
<v Speaker 1>but it wouldn't budge. She would kick it, bash it

399
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:55.720
<v Speaker 1>with her fists, anything she could do to try and

400
00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:59.680
<v Speaker 1>break free, but the door remained closed no matter what

401
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:03.319
<v Speaker 1>she did tried, and none of her neighbors in her

402
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:06.359
<v Speaker 1>apartment would hear any of the ruck as she made

403
00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:08.160
<v Speaker 1>or any cries for help.

404
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:12.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that is just scut wrenching.

405
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:16.359
<v Speaker 1>And this might be due to the fact that this

406
00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:20.160
<v Speaker 1>elevator was closed, so they were using a different elevator

407
00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:23.480
<v Speaker 1>in a different location, so people may have been avoiding

408
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:24.119
<v Speaker 1>this area.

409
00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:27.000
<v Speaker 2>But so it must not have been next to like

410
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:29.799
<v Speaker 2>any apartment apartments or anything.

411
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:31.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm unclear on that.

412
00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Unfortunately, Holy heck, I just like I can't I literally

413
00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:39.720
<v Speaker 2>can't imagine someone not hearing her. I know, I think

414
00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:41.759
<v Speaker 2>that people probably would have had to at some point

415
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:44.680
<v Speaker 2>heard something funny. But then, like, who's going to be like, oh,

416
00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:46.799
<v Speaker 2>there's someone stuck in the elevator. You just like think

417
00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:47.960
<v Speaker 2>it was something else.

418
00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:50.559
<v Speaker 1>Right, Yeah, I mean you're in a city of millions

419
00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:53.039
<v Speaker 1>of people. Yeah, you hear some banging on the walls. Oh,

420
00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:54.039
<v Speaker 1>noisy neighbors again.

421
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:56.119
<v Speaker 2>You hear some screening noises all the time.

422
00:20:56.279 --> 00:20:58.559
<v Speaker 1>Some kid out in the streets screaming away. Someone needs

423
00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:00.960
<v Speaker 1>to shut up their kid. Like, you never know, right,

424
00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:03.640
<v Speaker 1>someone may have heard and just didn't realize it.

425
00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh boy.

426
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:12.480
<v Speaker 1>So Now, regarding the dehydration, for most people, approximately ten

427
00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:16.759
<v Speaker 1>days is the average time one can last before succumbing

428
00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:20.720
<v Speaker 1>and dying. In rare instances, the process can take as

429
00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:22.039
<v Speaker 1>long as several weeks.

430
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:23.799
<v Speaker 2>Oh gosh.

431
00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:28.319
<v Speaker 1>In Wu's case, she would eventually pass away while trapped

432
00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:32.160
<v Speaker 1>inside the elevator, but not from dehydration. It would be

433
00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:36.279
<v Speaker 1>from starvation. Now, people can expect to last a lot

434
00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:41.240
<v Speaker 1>longer before they starve, as long as forty three to

435
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:44.759
<v Speaker 1>seventy days before we pass away from starvation, which is incredible.

436
00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:47.319
<v Speaker 2>I didn't realize it was that long. Like I was

437
00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:49.319
<v Speaker 2>pretty much like starving because I didn't eat for like

438
00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:53.240
<v Speaker 2>five hours today. So that really makes me feel like, Wow.

439
00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, I believe it was average body mass. You can

440
00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:00.160
<v Speaker 1>your body can consume up to eighteen percent of your

441
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:04.000
<v Speaker 1>body mask before you start to fail and die from it.

442
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:06.400
<v Speaker 1>And I believe if you're above that body mass, the

443
00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:08.119
<v Speaker 1>average it's around twenty percent.

444
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:09.200
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

445
00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:14.319
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Now how long Wu actually lasted is unknown, but

446
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:17.799
<v Speaker 1>the repair men returned to open the elevator door a

447
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:24.000
<v Speaker 1>month later. I've read different reports anywhere between twenty seven

448
00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:27.240
<v Speaker 1>days to thirty days later before they opened the door.

449
00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:29.079
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

450
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.960
<v Speaker 1>When they did open the door, they found Wu lying

451
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:38.119
<v Speaker 1>on the elevator floor, lifeless. It was also noted that

452
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:41.480
<v Speaker 1>one of her hands were placed up against the elevator

453
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:48.119
<v Speaker 1>door above where she laid were multiple marks, dents, and

454
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:51.359
<v Speaker 1>scratches in the door where she tried to free herself,

455
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:55.480
<v Speaker 1>and her bare hands were beaten and mangled from trying

456
00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:57.839
<v Speaker 1>to escape.

457
00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:03.440
<v Speaker 2>That's too much lot, that is like whoa, my heart, Oh,

458
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:06.000
<v Speaker 2>I just can't even imagine, especially if this poor woman

459
00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:08.759
<v Speaker 2>had like mental health issues and stuff. I mean, anyone

460
00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:11.119
<v Speaker 2>would have mental health issues in that kind of situation.

461
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, oh that is just that has I don't know.

462
00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:18.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's pretty brutal ways to die, but that's.

463
00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Bad, that's heartbreaking, and this is why it's This case

464
00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:29.559
<v Speaker 1>is known as the loneliest death, just isolated screaming, no

465
00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:32.200
<v Speaker 1>one can hear you. But just like you had already mentioned,

466
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:35.160
<v Speaker 1>you're in a city surrounded by millions of people, but

467
00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:38.720
<v Speaker 1>you are nothing but alone. And that's exactly what she was.

468
00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:42.200
<v Speaker 2>Because I honestly think in your mind you would just

469
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:45.799
<v Speaker 2>be like, how on earth could anyone how I'm not like,

470
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:47.759
<v Speaker 2>I just don't even think you accept it. You wouldn't

471
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:50.000
<v Speaker 2>accept that you were dying in there. There's no way,

472
00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:52.200
<v Speaker 2>there's no way. I'd be like, no, someone's coming, Like

473
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:55.119
<v Speaker 2>someone's coming, someone's coming, and they just.

474
00:23:55.200 --> 00:24:01.359
<v Speaker 1>Never come until a month later. I'm a month oh yeah,

475
00:24:01.799 --> 00:24:02.799
<v Speaker 1>after their celebration.

476
00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:04.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was like, how long were they celebrating for?

477
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:06.759
<v Speaker 2>They'd probably just like ended up getting busy with other

478
00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:08.039
<v Speaker 2>jobs and forgetting well.

479
00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:09.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it could have been busy from other jobs, could

480
00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:11.799
<v Speaker 1>have been with vacations on top of it, and they

481
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:14.119
<v Speaker 1>didn't have the time to get back. Like, who knows

482
00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:18.079
<v Speaker 1>what the whole compilation of issues were, but it was

483
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:22.480
<v Speaker 1>a matter of the holidays mixed with whatever the fuck

484
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:23.720
<v Speaker 1>else for.

485
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:26.839
<v Speaker 2>A month went through their brain when they opened that door.

486
00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I can't imagine. I'd feel so fucking guilty if

487
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:33.119
<v Speaker 1>that were me.

488
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:37.039
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, Like I wow, I don't even know if

489
00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:42.440
<v Speaker 2>like to just like carry on after you would just

490
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:44.279
<v Speaker 2>never your day would never ever be the same. I

491
00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:44.680
<v Speaker 2>don't know.

492
00:24:46.119 --> 00:24:49.839
<v Speaker 1>Now. Wu's family had reported her missing to the authorities,

493
00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:52.519
<v Speaker 1>and they had checked up on her apartments but never

494
00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:57.559
<v Speaker 1>saw any sign of her, and her missing was assumed

495
00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:00.079
<v Speaker 1>it was due to her mental illness, and they they

496
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:03.119
<v Speaker 1>thought she might have run away or she may have

497
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:06.720
<v Speaker 1>been a recluse somewhere, and they wouldn't They couldn't locate her,

498
00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:08.599
<v Speaker 1>and they were just in hopes that she would eventually

499
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:12.000
<v Speaker 1>turn up safe. I mean, how do you find a

500
00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:13.880
<v Speaker 1>missing person in a city of millions?

501
00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Right again, I mean, they probably didn't even consider the

502
00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:19.720
<v Speaker 2>elevator that was broken down.

503
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Nope, knocking on their daughter's door. With the broken down elevator,

504
00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:26.759
<v Speaker 1>they would have had to have gone to the elevator

505
00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:30.880
<v Speaker 1>shaft realize that all this one's broken and had to

506
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:32.720
<v Speaker 1>have gone to the other one to get up to

507
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:33.680
<v Speaker 1>her apartment to.

508
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:38.559
<v Speaker 2>Look for Oh wow, yep, yep.

509
00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:42.759
<v Speaker 1>So now, needless to say, like her family was fucking outrage.

510
00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:43.440
<v Speaker 1>That's clear.

511
00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:45.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't blame them.

512
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:49.480
<v Speaker 1>And they weren't alone. There was public outcry over the

513
00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:51.920
<v Speaker 1>neglect from the maintenance department and how they could have

514
00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:56.880
<v Speaker 1>overlooked someone being trapped in the fucking elevator, especially since

515
00:25:57.160 --> 00:25:59.480
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't the first case of neglect.

516
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Of someone stuck in an elevator, or just neglect.

517
00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Just neglect. There was a protest set up outside the

518
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:11.480
<v Speaker 1>apartment against the administrators of the complex and the maintenance company.

519
00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Signs were being held up in protest. People were rallying

520
00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:18.000
<v Speaker 1>and cried out in a plea for you know, why

521
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:21.440
<v Speaker 1>aren't we being treated like fucking human beings? Why did

522
00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:24.240
<v Speaker 1>she have to die after not being checked on for

523
00:26:25.039 --> 00:26:27.440
<v Speaker 1>a month when she should have been checked on in

524
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:31.119
<v Speaker 1>the first place. Shouldn't have even been hours, let alone

525
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:38.400
<v Speaker 1>a month. No, there's one resident who in the protest

526
00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:42.720
<v Speaker 1>said into a news report and I quote, there's now

527
00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:46.400
<v Speaker 1>a shadow across my heart. It's scary, and it gives

528
00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:49.680
<v Speaker 1>me shivers to pass by it when they are referencing

529
00:26:49.720 --> 00:26:50.880
<v Speaker 1>the elevator.

530
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, that just gave me goose bumps, a

531
00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:57.200
<v Speaker 2>shadow across my heart. Yeah wow.

532
00:26:58.279 --> 00:27:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Another resident of the apartment complex reported that the building

533
00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:08.200
<v Speaker 1>management service was poor and routinely ignored residence complaints about

534
00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:14.200
<v Speaker 1>frequent broken elevators and other matters. So it wasn't abnormal

535
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:18.480
<v Speaker 1>to have broken elevators that just didn't fucking work or

536
00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:21.799
<v Speaker 1>weren't working properly and for them to just ignore it.

537
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:25.759
<v Speaker 2>And so it's freaking lucky maybe that this had not

538
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:27.839
<v Speaker 2>already happened to something one.

539
00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:29.839
<v Speaker 1>Hundred percent and it was only a matter of time

540
00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:32.680
<v Speaker 1>of something like this that was going to happen, because

541
00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:36.839
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately in the first case, like I don't even know

542
00:27:36.839 --> 00:27:38.440
<v Speaker 1>where's going with that sentence, but like something was going

543
00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:38.759
<v Speaker 1>to happen.

544
00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:40.279
<v Speaker 2>It's very disturbing.

545
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so I don't know, it's it's brutal. I'm surprised

546
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:47.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't happen sooner, but it did happen, and it was

547
00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:49.240
<v Speaker 1>only a matter of time that was going to happen.

548
00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Now in there's another area in China called chez shen Zen,

549
00:27:58.079 --> 00:28:01.319
<v Speaker 1>there we go. And on May fifteen teenth of twenty thirteen,

550
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:05.640
<v Speaker 1>a woman was riding an elevator. Another elevator incident. And

551
00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:08.759
<v Speaker 1>this is this is prior to Yes, this is a

552
00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:11.880
<v Speaker 1>few years prior. The woman was riding the elevator and

553
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:15.680
<v Speaker 1>she went to exit the elevator doors and she got

554
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:20.880
<v Speaker 1>pinched between the elevator doors between her shoulders, and while pinched,

555
00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:25.319
<v Speaker 1>the elevator quickly dropped and plummeted with her head sticking out,

556
00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:28.720
<v Speaker 1>and the elevator effectively turned into a guillotine as she

557
00:28:28.839 --> 00:28:33.480
<v Speaker 1>was decapitated, and her body fell back inside onto the

558
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:36.200
<v Speaker 1>crowd that was still in the elevator, and they had

559
00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:38.240
<v Speaker 1>to wait for the doors to open up at the

560
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:41.920
<v Speaker 1>bottom before they could exit, when her lifeless body landed

561
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:49.000
<v Speaker 1>on the ground. No, yes, and I do not recommend it.

562
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:53.119
<v Speaker 1>But there is CCTV footage of this on YouTube, who

563
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:57.839
<v Speaker 1>though it has blurred out, thankfully, I did watch it,

564
00:28:57.920 --> 00:29:00.960
<v Speaker 1>and I wish I didn't, Okay, if.

565
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:03.319
<v Speaker 2>There has ever been a reason to take them on,

566
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:08.079
<v Speaker 2>the fuck of stairs? You take the stairs? This is unbelievable.

567
00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, speaking of stairs.

568
00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh, are they not safe either?

569
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:15.240
<v Speaker 1>On July twenty seventh of twenty fifteen, in a mall

570
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:19.319
<v Speaker 1>in China, at ten oh one am, two mall employees

571
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:22.240
<v Speaker 1>rode an escalator and when they reached the top and

572
00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:25.720
<v Speaker 1>stepped off, they found that the safety plate at the

573
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:30.839
<v Speaker 1>top landing was loose and they almost fell through into

574
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:35.599
<v Speaker 1>the escalator gears and cogs below. Now, they quickly notified

575
00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:38.519
<v Speaker 1>maintenance and they stood waiting at the top for them

576
00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:43.480
<v Speaker 1>to arrive. And then nine minutes later, at ten ten am,

577
00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:46.240
<v Speaker 1>a woman holding her three year old son made their

578
00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:50.240
<v Speaker 1>way to the top of the escalator. There's again CCTV

579
00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:53.440
<v Speaker 1>footage of this. I watched it. It's not as graphic,

580
00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:55.720
<v Speaker 1>but you know what happened, so I don't recommend you

581
00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:59.799
<v Speaker 1>watch it either. But it shows the two workers standing

582
00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:03.799
<v Speaker 1>there who had the incident nine minutes before, motioned towards

583
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:07.440
<v Speaker 1>that loose plate at the top, almost as if they

584
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:10.680
<v Speaker 1>were trying to warn the woman how she supposed to do.

585
00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:14.480
<v Speaker 1>At that point, it was too late. She stepped on

586
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:18.200
<v Speaker 1>it and she fell through. Luckily, she managed to push

587
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:21.640
<v Speaker 1>her three year old son past the opening to safety.

588
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:28.440
<v Speaker 1>The mall, however, wasn't shut down. The floor was simply

589
00:30:28.519 --> 00:30:32.279
<v Speaker 1>closed off, while public unknowingly continued their shopping while a

590
00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:35.680
<v Speaker 1>four hour rescue ensued to rescue the woman who fell

591
00:30:35.759 --> 00:30:39.720
<v Speaker 1>into the gear system of the escalator, and it took

592
00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:42.319
<v Speaker 1>that four hours before they found the thirty year old

593
00:30:42.319 --> 00:30:46.160
<v Speaker 1>woman lifeless and mangled in the escalator steel structure.

594
00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:48.079
<v Speaker 2>Holy hack.

595
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:53.000
<v Speaker 1>So this is not the first incident of neglect of

596
00:30:53.079 --> 00:30:56.559
<v Speaker 1>maintenance and a severe incident occurring.

597
00:30:57.079 --> 00:31:00.160
<v Speaker 2>Those are some brutal gas.

598
00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:02.960
<v Speaker 1>And there's more out there like that. I couldn't keep

599
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:05.359
<v Speaker 1>researching them. I was like, I gotta stop this.

600
00:31:06.279 --> 00:31:09.319
<v Speaker 2>Well, that is just traumatic. There's just like no way

601
00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:12.160
<v Speaker 2>that you Oh man. I was already afraid of escalators.

602
00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:15.920
<v Speaker 2>I like, take my sweet ass time on them because

603
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:17.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, this shit doesn't seem right, like there should

604
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:18.599
<v Speaker 2>just be stairs here.

605
00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you're not wrong.

606
00:31:20.759 --> 00:31:26.640
<v Speaker 2>And uh wow, okay, yeah, so it's kind of fucked up.

607
00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:31.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And like I said, there are a whole whopping

608
00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:33.960
<v Speaker 1>load of cases like this out there. I don't suggest

609
00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:35.759
<v Speaker 1>you guys go out there and research these ones because

610
00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:41.599
<v Speaker 1>these ones, it's most of them. They have video evidence

611
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:44.359
<v Speaker 1>of these ones, and it's scary.

612
00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:46.480
<v Speaker 2>And there's just something on my mind though, it's like

613
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:50.400
<v Speaker 2>this escalator is fucked up, but we're gonna warn people

614
00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:52.880
<v Speaker 2>at the very top that it's fucked up. Yes, Like

615
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:56.880
<v Speaker 2>does that make any any sense? No, it doesn't because

616
00:31:56.920 --> 00:31:59.000
<v Speaker 2>at that point, what are you supposed to do? Run

617
00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:03.599
<v Speaker 2>the fuck down the escalator? Like, yeah, I don't get that.

618
00:32:03.599 --> 00:32:05.960
<v Speaker 1>That's that's one of the arguments you can see on

619
00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:08.039
<v Speaker 1>like the YouTube comment section is like, why the fuck

620
00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:09.960
<v Speaker 1>did those two workers just stand there?

621
00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:12.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, at least they were doing they were doing something.

622
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:13.680
<v Speaker 2>They didn't just walk off.

623
00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:16.720
<v Speaker 1>They did something. Yes, they notified maintenance, and they were

624
00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:20.279
<v Speaker 1>at least standing there in attendance, but they're at the

625
00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:24.119
<v Speaker 1>wrong end. Their attendance didn't do anything because they didn't

626
00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:24.640
<v Speaker 1>speak up.

627
00:32:26.079 --> 00:32:28.839
<v Speaker 2>Oh just to think too that this mom like pushed

628
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:32.759
<v Speaker 2>their kid at Oh, that's that's a lot.

629
00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:37.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Now, as for the maintenance in charge of the

630
00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:41.079
<v Speaker 1>elevator that killed Wu, the company and the maintenance firm

631
00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:44.480
<v Speaker 1>in charge of the faulty elevator were detained by police,

632
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:50.079
<v Speaker 1>and the report stated this, The local police are investigating

633
00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:53.279
<v Speaker 1>when and why she entered the elevator and why. The

634
00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:59.680
<v Speaker 1>property management and residents all stated they were unaware. What

635
00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:04.279
<v Speaker 1>do you mean, Sorry, they're looking into when she got

636
00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:08.480
<v Speaker 1>in the elevator. And why no one hurt her?

637
00:33:08.599 --> 00:33:10.519
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, I thought you meant like why she was

638
00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:13.319
<v Speaker 2>getting in the elevator and leaving, so she was leaving

639
00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:14.839
<v Speaker 2>her apartment. Okay, I get it. I get it.

640
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:19.079
<v Speaker 1>And that's that's about it. That's kind of where this

641
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:19.920
<v Speaker 1>case drops off.

642
00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well, was there like serious lawsuits and shit?

643
00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:27.119
<v Speaker 1>Well, all my research has unfortunately come up dry with

644
00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:30.720
<v Speaker 1>what happened after this. I have read some hearsay that

645
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:33.920
<v Speaker 1>they were being charged, but I can't find out with

646
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:36.200
<v Speaker 1>what or whether it went through or if it was

647
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:38.720
<v Speaker 1>a fine or jail time or anything.

648
00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:43.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because that is some serious neglect it is.

649
00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:48.160
<v Speaker 1>However, if it's anything like here in Canada, they will

650
00:33:48.400 --> 00:33:53.880
<v Speaker 1>undoubtedly or would have undoubtedly be held criminally negligent. Now,

651
00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:56.680
<v Speaker 1>we have a bill in Canada that speaks directly to

652
00:33:56.920 --> 00:34:01.079
<v Speaker 1>the workplace, and considering this is couldtech be considered a

653
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:06.720
<v Speaker 1>workplace incident? It very well could be applicable in Canada.

654
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:09.880
<v Speaker 1>We have something called the Westre Bill or Bill C

655
00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:14.239
<v Speaker 1>forty five. It's a federal legislation that amends the Canadian

656
00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:17.719
<v Speaker 1>Criminal Code and it became law in March thirty first

657
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:21.440
<v Speaker 1>of two thousand and four. The bill established new legal

658
00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:25.360
<v Speaker 1>duties for workplace health and safety and impose serious penalties

659
00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:29.280
<v Speaker 1>for violations that result in injuries or death. Now, it

660
00:34:29.320 --> 00:34:32.320
<v Speaker 1>basically states that if found negligent in a workplace or

661
00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:36.360
<v Speaker 1>safety protocols that you took steps specifically to ignore them,

662
00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:39.559
<v Speaker 1>then you can be held criminally accountable and serve jail

663
00:34:39.639 --> 00:34:43.199
<v Speaker 1>time or possibly a fine. So, for example, if your

664
00:34:43.239 --> 00:34:45.360
<v Speaker 1>boss knowingly puts you in a dangerous situation you get

665
00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:48.039
<v Speaker 1>hurt or killed, they can literally be put behind bars.

666
00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:51.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's fair, it is.

667
00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:57.840
<v Speaker 1>This is rather progressive as far as workplace incidents worldwide. Unfortunately,

668
00:34:57.880 --> 00:35:00.639
<v Speaker 1>if I'm going to be brutally honest in my my opinion,

669
00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:03.800
<v Speaker 1>I have a feeling the company simply got a slap,

670
00:35:03.880 --> 00:35:05.920
<v Speaker 1>got slapped with a small fine and that's about it.

671
00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:08.559
<v Speaker 1>Which that's what.

672
00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:10.920
<v Speaker 2>I think is unreally awful. And I would hope, though,

673
00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:15.800
<v Speaker 2>of anything that they learned from this, or that there

674
00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:17.800
<v Speaker 2>was some sort of something that came out of this

675
00:35:18.639 --> 00:35:22.039
<v Speaker 2>that to prevent it from ever happening again. It needs

676
00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:23.360
<v Speaker 2>to have I.

677
00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:27.599
<v Speaker 1>Don't know if really anything is being done though. I mean,

678
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:31.079
<v Speaker 1>you can do legislation, you can do protocols.

679
00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:33.880
<v Speaker 2>But I mean they already had it. Yeah, they already

680
00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:35.559
<v Speaker 2>had it to look in there and they didn't.

681
00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:37.559
<v Speaker 1>Exactly people scret around it. They cut corners.

682
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, when you're yeah, when you get comfortable and you're

683
00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:43.079
<v Speaker 2>doing a job for too long, like it does happen.

684
00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:46.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And this is this is something actually I know

685
00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:49.320
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of because this is my day job.

686
00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:53.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm a health and safety coordinator, and I see all

687
00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:56.079
<v Speaker 1>the time people cutting corners just because it saves a

688
00:35:56.079 --> 00:35:58.320
<v Speaker 1>little bit of time or that whole end of the

689
00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:00.880
<v Speaker 1>day attitude like it's almost five o'clock, almost going to

690
00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:04.199
<v Speaker 1>go home. Yeah, people drop their guard and whether it's

691
00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:06.480
<v Speaker 1>your own life for someone else's, it's going to catch

692
00:36:06.519 --> 00:36:07.119
<v Speaker 1>up eventually.

693
00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, And honestly, I do think it's just like this

694
00:36:09.440 --> 00:36:12.880
<v Speaker 2>day and age though, and everybody has just so much

695
00:36:12.960 --> 00:36:15.960
<v Speaker 2>on their mind at every time. Oh yeah, Like people

696
00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:19.079
<v Speaker 2>are just like overworked. They just have like too many

697
00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:21.639
<v Speaker 2>family responsibilities. Like I don't know, I just feel like

698
00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:24.440
<v Speaker 2>there's just always so many things going on inside your

699
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:27.079
<v Speaker 2>brain that it gets just easy to sometimes like sometimes

700
00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:29.119
<v Speaker 2>even like driving, like you're driving, like I'm sure I'm

701
00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:31.519
<v Speaker 2>paying attention and stuff, but like you get to your

702
00:36:31.519 --> 00:36:35.280
<v Speaker 2>destination and you're like, whoa, I made it here. Yeah,

703
00:36:35.320 --> 00:36:36.559
<v Speaker 2>like that's really bad.

704
00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:39.039
<v Speaker 1>It is. And like you say, there's a lot of

705
00:36:39.079 --> 00:36:42.960
<v Speaker 1>things in your mind. However, there's there's no excuse at

706
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:46.119
<v Speaker 1>the same time, just like if you drink and drive,

707
00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:48.119
<v Speaker 1>or if you're on your cell phone you drive and

708
00:36:48.159 --> 00:36:51.480
<v Speaker 1>you get in an accident and you kill someone, it's

709
00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:52.920
<v Speaker 1>your fault. I'm sorry, it's your faul.

710
00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:55.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I see a lot of people nowadays text or

711
00:36:55.880 --> 00:36:58.599
<v Speaker 2>like on their phones while they're driving, like constantly. It's

712
00:36:58.639 --> 00:37:02.519
<v Speaker 2>a constant thing. It's almost like normal, like, which is

713
00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:05.039
<v Speaker 2>so bad because holy heck, things can happen on the

714
00:37:05.079 --> 00:37:06.360
<v Speaker 2>road in an instant.

715
00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Yep, and people just don't think, well it's not gonna

716
00:37:08.280 --> 00:37:10.400
<v Speaker 1>happen to me, or it's just a second, it doesn't matter.

717
00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh I'm pretty sure there's no one in there. Yeah,

718
00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:15.280
<v Speaker 1>well look what happened. There was someone in there and

719
00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:18.679
<v Speaker 1>you literally killed them in thirty days.

720
00:37:18.800 --> 00:37:22.480
<v Speaker 2>I just hate how like just her struggle of trying

721
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:24.920
<v Speaker 2>to get out of there. Oh, and how you could

722
00:37:24.920 --> 00:37:26.320
<v Speaker 2>see it on her body and stuff.

723
00:37:26.360 --> 00:37:32.119
<v Speaker 1>That is just it's got horrifying, horrifying, Yes, absolutely horrible.

724
00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

725
00:37:34.079 --> 00:37:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, anyways, we hope you liked this. Episode, and thank

726
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:41.159
<v Speaker 1>you for our patrons for selecting this one. You guys suck.

727
00:37:41.199 --> 00:37:43.480
<v Speaker 1>You made me research this one. You don't suck, but

728
00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:45.639
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, it was it was rough.

729
00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Hey, there's been heavier ones, I feel there is, but.

730
00:37:48.679 --> 00:37:50.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. The ones that really get me are

731
00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:55.440
<v Speaker 1>when there's there's people who just don't do their due diligence,

732
00:37:55.920 --> 00:37:58.519
<v Speaker 1>when people just walk away from it, you know, whether

733
00:37:58.559 --> 00:38:01.519
<v Speaker 1>it's a witness, whether it's the police, or whether it's

734
00:38:01.880 --> 00:38:03.639
<v Speaker 1>fucking elevator maintenance.

735
00:38:03.440 --> 00:38:06.800
<v Speaker 2>When it could very easily have not been in that fate.

736
00:38:07.039 --> 00:38:10.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, when it's preventable, that's when that always gets me

737
00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:13.199
<v Speaker 1>so bad. Yeah, I not that I understand, but I

738
00:38:13.280 --> 00:38:15.519
<v Speaker 1>realize there's people out there who are just going to

739
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:18.880
<v Speaker 1>do absolutely horrendous things because that's who they are, that's

740
00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:22.079
<v Speaker 1>in their system. Generally, we can't change that that's not

741
00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:26.199
<v Speaker 1>necessarily preventable. But if a civilian or someone who doesn't

742
00:38:26.239 --> 00:38:29.400
<v Speaker 1>have that in their system just makes the wrong decision,

743
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:31.360
<v Speaker 1>that fucking hurts.

744
00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:34.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because it was so close to me, but this

745
00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:36.960
<v Speaker 2>was just a very much so unnecessary death.

746
00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Yes. Yeah, So anyways, thank you guys for listening. You

747
00:38:41.480 --> 00:38:44.440
<v Speaker 1>guys are absolutely amazing. We seriously appreciate you. Go check
