Just saw this on the chinasmack website. The kid was dead by the time rescue workers arrived. Suffocated/crushed in the elevator. Scary and tragic. Last week they had a horrifying video of a girl turned into a human torch at a bbq restaurant...
So many hazards in China... |

| I find it amazing that people come to a place like China and then spend all their time online looking at garbage, entertaining themselves with garbage, including forums like this. I mean, get out and do something. |

Agree - China is one of those countries that were you to obsess over this stuff too much could see you too terrified to leave your house.
I guess with a fifth the world's population it kind of makes sense that they are responsible for a fifth of the world's head-shakingly messed up crap.
Shame about this elevator kid....apparently the police are investigating as a result of "Poor maintenance." No shit.
I don't take elevators that much these days - no real need to. At my last school I taught on the 6th floor a lot, so *would* often ride the ricketty old POS. Not sure what was less confidence-inspiring - the frequent weird creaks and snapping noises or the sticker in the corner above the buttons which said in English "Next Scheduled Maintenance Inspection : August 2009"  |

Says the dude with multiple accounts with low post counts who talks to himself.
Anyways the video was pretty brutal. R.I.P. that dude, but that's the way things go here. Life is cheap it seems. Safety standards are as solid as one's bowel movements after eating a lot of hot pot/drinking a ton of beer. |

Out he went for a stroll
to Dave's where he found a troll
you could see the infection
who penned an objection
with Chinese imperfection
So he tried to console
The others with heart and soul
gathered round the watering hole
waiting for the day, heads would roll! |

Interesting how this has zero to do with anything regarding live and/or working in China; i.e., hardly productive.
But hey, why not, right? |

Mr. Newmansone, when you have been in China a bit longer (nod nod wink wink) you will find that there is an ever present specter that sows discord on Dave's by dressing their persona in layers of the inflammatory and the extraneous costume of a jester.
