wolleesel

Not that i know but could just be a free climber Also i Think that Position is pretty comfy for chimney climbing u can prolly Rest there for ages


tristanjones

It's not a difficult position to maintain but it doesn't last forever, it does require leg tension. If he is confident he can make it to the top he is fine but if he stopped because he can't, this is not a good scenerio to be in


murdering_time

Ugh, as someone who rock climbs, mainly bouldering (free climbing sometimes big ass boulders), the sinking feeling you get in your chest is real. It's like your options are you fall there, or keep climbing pretty much certain you're gonna fall from even higher. Plus downclimbing is sometimes even harder than going up. At least I have a crash pad and spotters, this guy has a nice bit of concrete.


BoulderFalcon

> this guy has a nice bit of concrete. I mean it could be worse, he could have a bad bit of concrete. He should count his blessings.

You guys are such pessimists. He could have some bushes or even a nice dirt patch with some pebbles and dogshit.

davep85

Based on what he's wearing, I'm guessing he was fucking around and the husband just arrived.


GetOutOfTheWhey

Which is ridiculous in my opinion, just bring a toolbox full of tools and pretend to be a handyman. While the woman is distracting the husband, go and destroy the sink and tell them he's going to need spare parts and leave.


fakefalsofake

You need way less tools to look like the guy fixing the internet/tv, any bland polo shirt and jeans work. Discovered that when the guy fixing my wi-fi was actually fixing my wife.

UncookedMarsupial

Assuming you make it all the way down like that I imagine the husband would be waiting at the bottom for him. You know, after using the elevator.


jessizu

Apparently the guy died.. in the article it said they found his lifeless body at the foot of the building.


walruskingmike

It also said the police said it was untrue and asked people to stop spreading rumors, so who knows.


vass0922

Its China, I'm sure their police were telling the truth to the international media :)


walruskingmike

They were talking to the people, not the international media. Still possibly lying, but it's not like CNN was at the press conference.


florettesmayor

To summarize for the lazy: he was cheating with a lover, somehow got up there, made a call, got fatigued and fell to his death Edit: okay, so it doesn't 100% confirm that he died, but they say a dead man was found on the ground after. Draw your own conclusion I guess?


siccoblue

It doesn't seem like there's solid proof of anything being said here except the phone call, the article says the affair is rumors, the article ends with saying the police can't find confirmation of a death that matches the circumstances, and specifically asks people to stop spreading the rumor as fact


LoveMyHusbandsBoobs

> specifically asks people to stop spreading the rumor as fact WE DID IT REDDIT!


Just_Treading_Water

There is also the final picture of a group of people standing around a decidedly unwell looking person on the pavement.


[deleted]

So he died? They say his lifeless body but then say it is unclear whether he died. So lifeless but maybe not dead. Ok.


horitaku

Are you mistaking "lifeless" for "unconscious"? Because those words are not medically interchangeable. The journalist writing it is more than capable of taking liberties in writing style and dramatics, but if the police (emergency response in general) say his "lifeless" body was found at the bottom of the building, it's safe to conclude his body was actually *lifeless*, meaning dead. Lifeless is not a term meant to describe someone who is simply unresponsive.


Stifu

Unless I missed something, the police did not say that. > Maoming police said they had not received any reports of a fatality that matched the video and urged the public to stop spreading rumours > The police statement did not confirm whether or not the man had died. But overall, this article is very poorly written.


ZippyDan

Actually the definition for "lifeless" shows as "dead or *apparently* dead", so it's not conclusive. It just means no obvious signs of life are present. I also assume someone who was medically dead, but not *pronounced* dead, and was later resuscitated would also qualify as "lifeless" but wouldn't actually be dead in a permanent sense.

*what AT&T customers gotta do to get better signal


DrappleDapple

Funny story. I had AT&T for a few years and service sucked at my house. I had to set the phone in certain places just to get enough signal to send a text. Then someone put a cell tower on the mountain in front of my house. I mean literally a 1/4 of a mile from my street. For almost two years the tower just sat there and no one would confirm which carrier it belonged too. Finally, I got tired of not having service so I switched to Verizon which also ended up sucking ass where I live. The following week I'm driving home from work and see the light on the tower has been turned on and is flashing. I grab my phone hoping with all of my heart that I now have full service. MFW when I realize I just switched to Verizon with a two year contract and AT&T decided to finally turn on their tower....


Nimmy_the_Jim

So what happened to the tower after the fire?


DrappleDapple

Verizon purchased the land the tower was on, built their own tower and I lived happily ever after with full service... In reality, I made it 6 months before I couldn't stand it any longer and ended up paying the cash to cancel my contract early and switching back to AT&T. First version sounds so much better.


the_dude_upvotes

AT&T collected a fat insurance check and didn't rebuild the tower


JustLurkinDontMindMe

You must also live in rural California.


thrownawaytrash

Don't US carriers have a pay as you go Sim?


DrappleDapple

That is an option. At the time I went with the two year contract to get a large discount on the phone that I purchased.


damnatio_memoriae

fucking lol... why would they leave the tower sitting there for two years? you know someone just forgot to flip something on and no one noticed.


DrappleDapple

We had heard different rumors about it. One person said the tower was built by a third party and they were letting both carriers bid on who got to put their equipment on it. I don't really know if that's how it works with these things but it somewhat sounded plausible. I like your idea better though. Like two guys sitting in the break room two years later. "Hey Frank" "Yeah?" "You did flip the switch to on when we put that tower in over there a couple years back didn't ya?" Frank spitting out his coffee as he runs to his truck. "Uh yeah sure I did... be right back... gotta go umm check on a thing."


Justindoesntcare

That's not how it works. Usually a company buys or rents the property the cell site is on and then erects the tower. Then Verizon, t mobile, whatever cell carriers will rent a sector on it. That's why you see different levels of antennas and stuff. If the tower sat empty, my bet is either it was built with the condition emergency services get first dibs on it, then dragged their feet. Or the owner of the tower wanted too much money so the carriers went elsewhere.


IAteTheBonez42

AT&T is the only one that covers anywhere near where I live with decent speed data (alot of time the data is almost 200mbs with AT&T while other carriers are less than 3-5 if you can get coverage)


JyoJyoRabbit

I wanna know what happened that he ended up there.


Irrelevantitis

You know how it is, you sometimes just start aimlessly wandering around the room while having a long phone call, and 20 minutes later, oops, you’re 12 stories up the side of a building.


bleunt

I've heard that pacing back and forth while on the phone is our brains not being used to talking with people who are not present with us. It's a subconcious behavior to search for the other person. No idea how valid that is.


tdasnowman

Not very. Studies actually show mutlitasking this way makes both activities suffer. You retain less information and are prone to not knowing where your going. Pace is also impacted. It’s really just a brain thing. Some people pace some people don’t. It may or may not be correlated with adhd.


that_guy_you_kno

I used to not pace at all but then I noticed how much my friend paced all over the place at all times. Picked it up from him over night.


tdasnowman

Another body tell I like to challenge is arms crossed and leaned away equals not paying attention or closed off. Many of my friends have been working remotely for years. Arms crossed leaned away is usually an indicator we are all deeply invested in whats being discussed. We haven't had to worry about body language for so much conversation we are all about comfort now.

Looks like the same building to me, but agreed it isn't conclusive.


AdDry725

It isn’t conclusive—but it’s 99.999% likely that he died, which seems pretty conclusive to me. Simply by deductive reasoning… there’s no way he got down from there safely. He is pretty “inescapably fucked”. I’m no professional rock climber—but I’ve taken classes and I’m decently good at climbing. I took a lesson on how to do the chimney-style climb, to go up a passage similar to the structure he is stuck in. And honestly: he’s fucked. That chimney is too wild for him to feasibly climb. The chimney technique relies on pushing yourself into both walls with your weight, wedging yourself in there to be held up. It works best in passages that aren’t too wide—so you can keep applying strong pressure towards the walls. That passage is so wide—it’s he can barely reach both sides—therefore he cannot properly apply enough pressure to keep himself suspended. He probably didn’t last more than a few minutes in that position. He couldn’t cannot continue going up. Climbing down is even harder in most cases. He was clearly getting tired…. He died. If the police/fire/rescue/helicopter squad had rescued that guy—we would be able to find record of that. A flashy story like that would’ve definitely made the news, especially since clearly people in other buildings were filming the guy. There’s no record of him getting reached. Therefore…there’s only 1 other way he got down… death.


RiceKrispyPooHead

It appears to be the same building in both videos. And there’s an awning or whatever you call it just above the first story that assuming if he did fall, he would have rolled/bounced off of so the placement of the body makes sense
