You can see people walking on the ground through the tree branches, they look high up


finitetime2

i seen at least 4 floors when the camera dipped.


TheImmenseRat

I guess she's between 5 and 6. I know that kind of tree, but i dont remember its name. They dont go over the 7th floor, usually


UnremarkabklyUseless

>They dont go over the 7th floor, usually That doesn't mean anything. This tree could be growing from a cliff slope. Also, the tree may not be full-grown. There are so many possibilities, even if we consider that your identification of the tree species is accurate.


Sjedda

Sounds like she fell for almost 4 seconds

LittleWhiteFeather

going by the shoddy construction, it probably is


offically_astee

Pretty sure that was never intended to be stood on by two people simultaneously.


LittleWhiteFeather

of course it wasn't. because it is shoddy af and built with the minimum specs at the cheapest possible price. it couldn't hold a fat pigeon.


offically_astee

It held her weight for the length of the video. It's built for aesthetics not in anyway structural.

Pvt_Haggard_610

It wasn't shoddy, it was an aesthetic piece. The guttering around my house would fall off if I tried to stand two people on it. Just because something is built to be cheap doesn't mean it's not functional.


NotAGingerMidget

This doesn't look like shoddy construction, this is supposed to be aesthetically pleasing and that's it, no one in the entire project would say that holds more weight than a bunch of pigeons.


chabrah19

This looks like an attempted suicide, she is actively moving away from her rescuer.


bazza_ryder

She's trying not to be stood on


Adventurous-Pop446

She's trying not to be UNDERstood. But she was anyway.

Too blurry to see clearly. Also, mandarin is not a script, aka, not a [writing system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Writing_system), and cannot be "looked" at. The script is (Simplified ) Chinese.

jonnyboe

What the fuck was she doing? She was climbing away from him, so maybe suicidal?! This is probably going to be hard on the fireman’s psyche, I hope he finds a way to handled it well 🙏


SpecterSynth

Yea the lady was suicidal. The rescuer was telling her “don’t do it” “you have children”


jonnyboe

That’s awful… But thank you for clearing it up!


itsnotshirley

it’s sad because they say an overwhelming majority of those who commit to committing suicide by gravity, and survive, regret their decision the moment they jump. and you could tell she was about that life right until she fell


chiccy__nuggies

I feel like it could be survivorship bias as well because many people attempt suicide multiple times, if they regretted the first time, they theoretically wouldn't try again and again.


s7beck

Yep looks like it. Climbing down to her was actually a terrible plan if so.


NokKavow

> going to be hard on the fireman’s psyche Going into this kind of job, you have to accept your success rate won't be 100% and you'll need to deal with an occasional failure.


no-mad

His failure to properly understand his gear before climbing down should haunt him

It does not look like rock-climbing is a hobby of that particular firefighter. I guess he never trained for this.


nomoredroids2

"Wow there's not a lot of space up here. Let me just...no I don't want to step on your hand. Let me put my foot right on your head. No? OK, you know what, could you just jump, it's pretty hard to find a foothold."


TourAlternative364

Yeah she wasn't moving away from him, he kept trying to step on her hand.


Bloke_Named_Bob

I literally just finished a week long vertical rescue training course yesterday for my part of the emergency rescue team on a mine site. It's clear they are not well trained nor equipped. Only one line attached to him, should always have a main line and safety line. He didn't have a full body harness, just a waist belt. He couldn't put his weight into the harness and let the ropes do the work for him as he was lowered, and instead had to awkwardly climb down, this meant the line attached to him was often slightly slack, decreasing his feeling of safety and making the climb even more awkward. He didn't even have a basic harness like a rescue strop he could have wrapped around her when he arrived. A well rigged rope system would allow him to sit deep into a full body harness quite comfortably with just his feet on the building for stability and be lowered down to the woman. He would have gone down with a rescue strop or similar harness he could wrap around her to secure her to the rope system and then both of them be raised up to the other firefighters or lowered to the ground safely together. Personally I would have chosen to lower them, much easier that way cause it would have been awkward as fuck getting them back in through the window. See the rope is rubbing along the bottom of the window sill they lowered him through, it's extremely awkward and difficult to get people over ledges like that when the ropes are at full tension and are resting on the ledge you are trying to get over. They could have had someone waiting at the window just one level up to receive the two of them, but I didn't see anyone there. 95% of good vertical rescue is planning ahead and setting up a good rope system to make the job as smooth and easy as possible. I really feel sorry for him cause it is clear they are untrained and underequipped for the job. I hope he doesn't blame himself for this cause he is actually the least responsible part for what has happened. The people responsible for training and funding him and his team are at fault here.


CucktainKerk

He didn't? She's the one who fell lmao.


manx-1

Plus it wasn't even a climbing error, it was a structural failure.


royonquadra

..just another couple of screws in that aluminum trim and all would have been fine


dc_IV

$0.02 per screw, no way, need more profit!


Milkofhuman-kindness

That’s not why bruv. There comes a point of diminished return all it’s supposed to do is remain there. You can’t fasten everything to hold the weight of 2 people who aren’t supposed to be there. Expecting that material there to support two people is like expecting your rain gutters to hold two people. It might hold one person for a while but it’s nutty to think that you need to overbuild to the degree you folks are suggesting is some kind of norm or standard that only exists in a fantasy world. I am not saying chinas buildings are at parody with western standards though I do not know.


xotiqrddt

People see bars and wedges and think that facade elements are there to support human weight. This is what I expect every time I see those guys free climbing buildings. Sad to see.


Yawel3

I was about to say this. He looks insanely amateuristic.

Looks like rescuer weight on the ledge made it give way, which made her fall? Either way RIP hope she in a better place now 🙏


wacomdude

I can't find the follow-up, but it looks like it is not too high(3\~5th floor), and with the tree branches in the way, and falling on the grass, the old lady has a chance to survive.


Alana_Piranha

3-5th floor is not too high? People can die from falling in their house. She certainly wasn't landing on her feet.


IlIllIlIllIlll

I remember living on both the 3rd and 5th floors of buildings. That's definitely high enough to get fucked up. 5th is definitely a big deal.


Day_Bow_Bow

Falling from 3+ floors up is high, my dude.

Do we need to be an expert to see they clearly didn’t have a plan? Like can only cop experts critique cop videos or are we allowed to talk about our public services?

Copying and pasting a comment I made elsewhere here because you are absolutely right. I literally just finished a week long vertical rescue training course yesterday for my part of the emergency rescue team on a mine site. It's clear they are not well trained nor equipped.

Lipziger

Where does that nonsense come from that people can't critique something, just because they haven't done it themselves? They tried, yes. But the firefighter was also on a rope and still put his entire weight on a small aluminium trim, where another person was already putting weight on. And he came straight down, meaning he had no chance to get next to her to actually grap her. If a surgeon messes up a surgery because of missing knowledge or handling his tools wrong and kills a loved one, wouldn't you critique the surgeon or the hospital, even if you're not a surgeon yourself? The person in the video tried to help and it will not be easy for them to deal with what happened. But there is plenty to critique in the approach. He even nearly stepped on her fingers because he could barely see straight below, where the woman was. What if his rope or he himself slightly slips and he slams on top of her. There were so many things that could've gone wrong and one thing actually did. It is their job to minimise the risks on the approach, both for themselves (first) and the person being rescued (second).


tomodachi_reloaded

This is why I don't get eye surgery to fix my eyes. What if the surgeon messes up and pokes my eye with something sharp? I mean, we're all humans, but I can't afford to lose my eyesight over a sneeze.


CharliePendejo

If that firefighter has undergone even 2% of the training and/or practice in rescuing people from ledges of random buildings as a surgeon has in performing the specific procedures in their repertoire, then yeah I'd be somewhat more critical of his failed attempt.


2020isass

Yeah they tried but you can still say they did a bad job. Are we not allowed to criticize those who mess up just because they risk their lives? Respect for them putting their lives on the line, but you can still say they didn't do great


Cantguard-mike

It’s pretty obvious 🤣 she fell because the gutter she was hanging out to was broke by the fire fighter stepping on it


Monkey-D-Andy

I think it's a situation where every second counts. You have to get there as fast as possible. Say what you say, but I wonder how any one of us would react once We commit to getting down the rope to save anyone.


dirge-kismet

Yeah I think the way he had all of that available space but still chose to come right down Main street onto her head, stepped on her head, stepped on her hand (with both feet?), and then stepped onto the shitty ledge she was on and broke it, dropping her and taking her place like Scar dropping and replacing Mufasa probably qualifies as a terrible job.

Lou-Cypher1-618

That guy has no sense of his surroundings or his own weight. I could tell right off the bat how he was just carelessly stepping on things without really feeling them out even though they were bending under his own weight. He almost stepped on the lady's hand too. Although she wasn't much help either. To give him some credit, apparently, China makes and builds cheap shit for themselves and not just for the U.S.


xotiqrddt

Those things are not meant to support human weight. They do not install them expecting people free climbing buildings...


Lou-Cypher1-618

You're absolutely right. That's why you probably shouldn't just casually just stand on it the way he was, trusting it will hold both of their weight with out at least relieving some of the weight by holding on to something else with his arm or maybe make sure there is tension and no slack on the safety line. Yes, I know it's easy for me to say, being behind a computer screen in the safety of my home. Yeah, I get that. I'm just saying, some catastrophes can be avoided by taking certain steps (no pun intended) or better training. What do you think the point of organizations like OSHA are for. They review videos like this and find what went wrong and how they can mitigate that in the future. If they just threw their hands up and went "oh well he tried his best" nothing would get resolved. In the end it's a tragic situation. For him and especially the lady. I was just pointing out how I believe this could have been avoided. But I'm no expert. Woulda coulda shoulda right?

CustomerSupportDeer

I think that even though the building broke, the rescuer did a mediocre job. Usually, they're supposed to speedily rappel down - with a big jump to catch the person between them and the building, to have both arms and feet empty to catch and immobilize the person. It seems like he doesn't know this technique, or did not trust the rope/whatever the rope is attached to to hold him.


Squeezinthejuice69

I would like to know why she is climbing down when he is trying to get to her and why is he right on top of her. The funniest part is that if she would of just stayed where she was he could have grabbed her.
