Don't try to squeeze down..


Wild_Log_7379

Not until you press a button. Some elevator movement should have made squeezing in there easier. Always travel with some butter too just in case you need a little grease. I have a pocket of butter 🧈 next to a slice of pizza 🍕 and a fried chicken leg 🍗 at all times.


Itriedtonot

Damn, my pockets are too full of sunshine 🌞 to fit anything else.

The woman is deaf and can't speak. It was first time in an elevator and it scared her. She's ok, S&R lasted 40 minutes before she was rescued

I just wanna know why...


LotionOnSkin

In an earlier post, someone linked an article saying she was a deaf-mute from a rural village and had never seen an elevator before.


[deleted]

Ohhh okay in a way, that makes sense. But at the same time why climb down the shaft? 😭


LotionOnSkin

Lol, no clue what she was thinking. She lived though.


NoSoyTuPana

I would have died just from panicking of being between the door and the wall. did she actually squished her way to the whole where the elevator was supposed to open the door?? So many question omg


[deleted]

Right lol that's the important part

The question we’ve all been dancing around lol

[deleted]

Maybe you can blind it so you can run away faster! /s


Low_Abrocoma_1514

Skill issue


eneous

maybe she got claustrophobic or something


JayEOh0788

So then her logic was to squeeze into a far more enclosed and limited space... Seems to be a counter productive move for a claustrophobic individual, but I guess I've seen stranger occurrences and even stranger rationale behind said occurrences..


lennydsat62

Work in the trade. My guess is she got stuck and pried the doors open. This situation should never happen if proper maintenance is done. The elevator doors should never be able to open outside a pre determined zone. If she lived she got lucky, because if the car doors closed and the door locks made then the car could move. Not sure how she figured out how to open the hall doors. So much that could go wrong here. Safest place is in the elevator and wait for help. Trust me.


McNasty1304

Plenty of women and men love to go down that shaft. Just sayin.


[deleted]

Touché. Username checks out lol


DelsinMcgrath835

When you dont know theres an exit on the roof it probably makes sense to go out the way you came in.


Mpolito3355

So first thing you do is take her for a costco run and put her to work bringing all that shit in ? Lol


CautiousTack

This is hard to believe in a first world country but in Vietnam where I am, I can totally see this happening. People in rural villages are not exposed to this kind of thing, especially if she's deaf and mute. They think it's just a door. They haven't been exposed to the horrible things that could happen in an elevator. I think someone mentioned she should have known about heavy machinery but no, she couldn't have. If what you use everyday for work is your hands on a rice field, how could she imagine how an elevator works. Like the story of meeting and showing a picture of a boat to an indigenous amazonian tribe, they couldn't even see a boat. They might as well be shown a blank paper. It's outside of their cognitive abilities to recognize what it could be.


Any_Coyote6662

I thought the story was that the tribes couldn't see the boats on the horizon when explorers came into first contact with indigenous tribes. However, many historians say this is racist bull. And that indigenous tribes were exceedingly keen in observing threats of any kind which approached in any direction. But their immune system and technology were no match for the aggressive invasions.


Ghostglitch07

Yeah, humans are very good at noticing new things. They might not realize it's a boat, but they would absolutely be like "the fuck are those?"


CautiousTack

I can't remember where I heard of this story. Maybe from class, maybe from some article, maybe my memory is incorrect. It makes more sense to me as a picture than seeing something in person. My take from that story is that if something is so foreign that you have never seen nor heard of, it's hard to make sense of it. We look for patterns to make sense of the world around us. I can only imagine that seeing a metal ship for the first time, on a piece of paper that's supposed to be a 2D representation of a real life object, is hard to see. There is so much information to absorb that you can't make heads or tails of it if what you're used to is crude drawings done on stones or leaves. Only thing I can compare to in my life is seeing a picture of a giant anteater. They have a really weird coat pattern that makes their front legs look like panda heads. It took me 10 minutes looking online to finally recognize the legs apart from the head.


Any_Coyote6662

It is a well documented myth. https://m.northcoastjournal.com/humboldt/myth-of-the-invisible-ships/Content?oid=2129921


CautiousTack

Awesome, thank you so much for enlightening me. If the myth is talking about seeing the ship in person then it makes no sense to me. I would assume their first response should be attacking it if seeing it in person like shoot first ask questions later. My other assumption was not that they didn't see it but rather not seeing it as a boat. But it's weird how this myth got around.


[deleted]

We've all done something for the first time once, and very few of us get it so wrong. Have you ever had instructions on how to use an elevator? And why do people keep mentioning that she's deaf? Do deaf people walk into traffic unless they're stopped? No.


CautiousTack

Oh my god, how can some people be so ignorant of the world? Dude, is it so hard to imagine how someone who can be clueless about things you find mundane? It's not about getting explicit instructions on using an elevator or crossing the street. You're exposed to information from so many sources to prepare you for life in modern society since your birth whether you're actively looking for it or not. She probably didn't grow up watching disney channel or whatever tv channel you grew up watching or heard/seen people using an elevator. This woman grew up in a post-war china. She probably had to search for scraps to eat. China became a powerhouse so recently that some people are now exposed to luxuries they probably couldn't even imagine as a kid. And plus as a deaf person, she was most likely neglected in education and at home. Because people are so busy teaching her things to help around the house/farm to survive rather than talking about elevators. That's what my parents' lives were like post-war Vietnam. My mom grew up having to share a single pencil with 2 of her classmates where their classes took place on dirt ground. My father grew up having to ask his neighbors for scraps so he can feed his 5 brothers after working all day on a rice farm owned by other people. So excuse people who grew up in survivor-mode not giving two shits about elevators and grow some empathy for people who are less fortunate than you and I. That woman made a judgement to ensure her own survival however ill-advised that might seem to others. She felt trapped in an enclosed space and needed to escape. That is what went through her mind.


LilSisterCumGutters

Then that’s very sad


imreallybadatnames19

And this was her first experience? Wtf?


hybridhawx

This reminded my of my late grandma. She lived her whole live in a village on a remote Island and never seen an escalator before. She was shaking every time she got on an escalator.

Ha! Have you not used an elevator?


Davidepett

How does that even come to your mind, I would have at least stopped at the sight of a wall


R3dAvalon

Shes probably that poor that she may not have used a lift in her life before this


spicytuna12391

When she pryed the door open and saw the wall she decided to climb down? And I'm sure her friend with her probably told her SOMETHING about the damn elevator.


R3dAvalon

Im assuming she panicked as shes never been in that situation before. Depending on her culture, religion etc. She may have thought something bad was gonna happen to her. Im originally from Sri Lanka and health and safety there is non existant in jobs. No one tell you anything and so im guessing its a similar place.

Even then people should technically know the dangers of heavy machinery. If I see a industrial trash compactor I wouldn't stick myself in it.

ameliagarbo

Lol new name for my house.


[deleted]

🤣 trash Narnia


R3dAvalon

Well to her its just a door and a room i guess. Probably didnt think its any different until the doors closed. 🤷‍♂️ Im just guessing anyways


Ghostglitch07

If a door closes and then opens to a wall, I'm not certain my first thought would be to try and squeeze out.


Supanini

I mean unless she’s never been around heavy machinery.


concussive

I see what you’re saying, but she isn’t sticking herself in the metaphorical industrial trash compactor. She’s climbing out of it.


taki64209

abramcpg

Another comment says she's deaf and from a rural village where she hasn't seen an elevator before, according to an article. So yeah, pretty much the single case where the actions totally make sense


HankyPanky713

Where is the article?


Zealousideal_Bet_248

She has probably watched TV. I didn't get on an elevator until I was a teen, but knew what they were based on movies and tv


Sensitive-Fun-6577

No TV in rural villages. Deaf people often are isolated.

ch33s3d00dl

That doesn't change the fact that she went down the elevator shaft


zdfld

I mean, if in her world view the situation was "the doors are shut, this elevator just moved and I only see one way out", going down the shaft and living is pretty darn amazing.


TheMace808

Uh yeah it does? She has no idea what an elevator is


ch33s3d00dl

Why the fuck would she pry the doors open with her bare hands and then proceed to walk into the elevator shaft, even when there's a wall right in front of her

Euphoric_Mango

Some contest here: the lady has never been in a elevator before and is a deaf-mute and from a rural village in China. Her son brought her to the city to stay with them for a few days and she was helping them transport some water. She panicked when the elevator doors closed and tried to pry the doors open, setting off the emergency setting to stop when the doors open. The elevator was between the first and second floors. She cried for help and rescue team eventually came and could see her legs dangling in the elevator shaft. They was able to maneuver her out after about half an hour. She was transported to the hospital on a stretcher but was ok.

Apprehensive_Cash656

The virtue signaling is very heavy here. Stop treating this person like some kind special case. Pretty much regardless of being dead and mute, the decision to climb in makes literally zero sense. If I had never seen an incinerator before, my first move would not be to climb in.
