Post videos of people dying - Self explanatory really

Well, my fellow portuguese man, is that really neccesary to point that out? English-native speakers hears any Neo-Latin language as the same.

I am just explaining, he is right to think it sounds wrong.

I was wondering that but the sign says adios on it and Portuguese doesn't use that I thought?

Yeah I just noticed, really confusing. Maybe it was somewhere close to one of the borders, or for some reason they dubbed it. Or any other reason. But the pronunciation is pretty portuguese. Hell maybe it happened somewhere in Galicia? Who knows.

This one of the better clips in the thread.

First you have a huge fucking hole in the ground that is covered by the thinnest metal sheets available. To stop people from stepping on it, they put the caution tape as low to the floor as possible where somebody can just step over it. Only put it on one side though, nobody would ever be on the other side for any reason.

Second, there's a huge assembly of people happening right next to this bottomless pit. One guy is standing directly above the caution tape with one foot on both sides of it. A woman stands on the other side as well.

Third, you have have this absolute buffoon not paying attention to anything at all step over the tape and directly onto the thin metal sheets. He plummets to his death and has a really funny scream.

Overall, tons of failures led to this catastrophe and since it's in a third world shithole there will likely be no consequences and this will happen again.

Fourth, there's a sandwich board that reads "adios" before the poor schmuck falls into the hole.

On April 30th, 1998, Daniel V. Jones, aged 40, committed suicide on live television. Jones, a local maintenance worker, was suffering from both Cancer and HIV and felt that the Health Care Industry, specifically Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOS) were mismanaging his case, claiming it took months to see a doctor and get results back. Believing he didn't have long to live anyways Jones hoped to raise attention to this issue by his public suicide. On April 30th Jones parked his truck, with his seven year old dog Gladdis inside, on a Los Angeles overpass and pointed a shotgun at several motorists, prompting them to call 9-1-1 and getting the LAPD to shutdown traffic to the overpass. Jones meanwhile also dialed 9-1-1 informing the operator of why he was doing this and sporadically firing off random shots from his shotgun. With news helicopters now on him Jones left his truck and displayed a banner that read, 'HMO's are in it for the money!! Live free, love safe or die'.


Having gotten his message across Jones returned to his truck and lit a Molotov cocktail (0:33 in the video) igniting the interior of his truck with himself and his Dog still in it. He sat in the truck for a few seconds before abandoning this plan and quickly exiting the truck, leaving his dog to burn to death inside. After removing some of his burnt clothing Jones went to the edge of the overpass (1:46 in the video) perhaps intent to throw himself off but ultimately backed out of it. After meandering for a few moments Jones returned to his truck (2:11 in the video) and retrieved his shotgun. After making his way to the median Jones positioned the shotgun underneath his chin before pulling the trigger, ending his life.


Both Jones and his dog Gladdis were killed in the incident. Nobody else was hurt.


Following the incident many news stations were criticized for broadcasting the footage to the public. Two local Los Angeles station had interrupted children's broadcasting to display the live standoff and subsequent suicide. The networks subsequently apologized and offered numbers for people to call for counseling. The incident highlighted one of the challenges of live broadcasting, it can often be unpredictable, leading to situations like this making it to the airwaves.
