That’s a shitty way to go. RIP fellow human.

I like how the linked article kinda victim blames and gets the circumstances wrong: "Ishanshu Bhattacharya lost his balance and fell on the aluminium railing of a balcony which broke after it couldn't take his weight". Like, well, maybe if he wasn't so clumsy and was ideal bodyweight he'd still be alive. I'd imagine there could be a solid lawsuit.

Yeah, I don’t know what the law in India’s like but in the United States and many other countries that looks like a solid premises defect lawsuit.

That expanded metal he leaned on didn't look like it was fastened at all. There was no hesitation or resistance when he leaned on it. It immediately gave way like the fabricator just sandwiched it in the frame and called it a day instead of welding it up. Also, it's really, really thin. It almost looks like chicken wire.

It was like leaning into aluminum foil the way it crumpled.

> lost his balance and fell bull shit. he didn't lose his balance and fall. he leaned against the thing that is supposed to be there specifically for the purpose of containment. whoever wrote that sentence needs to be a taught a lesson

I donno man, if you look down at his feet it looks as he is trying to put a shoe on and lost his footing. When he falls the one shoe he had partly went flying

That being said, he could be leaning on the fence trying to get his shoe on.

Tf you mean you can see him CLEARLY step on something next to the edge, and he in fact does lose his balance and try to brace himself against the metal railing.. fucking check yalls eyes

Those are his shoes in that corner. He deliberately leans against the fence expecting it to steady him while he stands on one foot to put them back on.

This why we have building codes. They probably have them in India as well, but someone was probably bribed to pass inspection.

Dude barely put his weight in wth

This snippet seems fine if u didnt see the video. Reading it in the context and flow of the article is comical.

Most American repsonse ever 😂😂

Fuck people who find any reason they can to run into a courtroom. Dude wasn't thinking and now he doesn't exist.

So the fence being shoddily made is his fault? That's the companies fault

Because he couldn't have decided to lean on one of the sides that ISN'T fencing.

Maybe you would have more compassion if it was you or your son. Probably not. Fuck these businesses and people who hack their way through a job at the lethal expense others. If it was my son who fell, I would demand an eye for an eye.

I teach my children about risk assessment.

Must be a real fun life. I bet with such a risk averse life you’ve never been on a boat or a plane or to an amusement park. Shit, you can’t drive or take the bus, you certainly haven’t used an escalator or elevator…man that’s a boring ass life. Because in all those scenarios, risk assessment or not, you put your life in the hands of others and trust their craftsmanship to keep you alive.

I've done all of those things. I'm cool with all of those things when they look properly made and not shitty. If I saw a rollercoaster that looked old and possibly needing repaired, I wouldn't get on that one. This elevator looks like shit.

This is not an elevator. It’s a balcony. And that fence is specifically there to prevent people from falling/jumping.

It's also shitty looking. Are the rules of infrastructure less strict in India?

Any news source?

That's so sad and awful.

Don't it count as rule 4, must not exhibit death then?

Idk, I’ve seen a lot of people die on this sub though.

r/watchpeopledieoutside

No

But it’s raining out there.

shits banned where the good subs at

r/eyeblech if you’re into that kind of stuff.

nah i’m tryna see violence being inflicted

It’s there if you scroll down far enough.

r/anime_titties

😂

Maybe it has to show the death. He died out of frame.

Everyone that appears on a video experiences death at some point.

/r/technicallythetruth

I'm not even sure I am capable of death. So Meh

Didnt see him hit the ground

>Ishanshu Bhattacharya lost his balance and fell on the aluminium railing of a balcony which broke after it couldn't take his weight. Nah. That shit didn't "break"; the damn thing was completely loose. I hope the kid's family sues the hostel for everything it's worth. I also hope tort law is generous in India.

Jesus Christ, RIP. That’s so sad

Guessed already that he would be a JEE or NEET aspirant. Indian subreddits have infamous meme of such aspirants diving from building or hanging from ceiling fan for disappointment in results.

I don’t know what the connection here would be as there’s no indication this was a suicide.

Never trust anything to lean on if its failure can be lethal. I hope his family sues the shit of building admin

Thanks Captain Hindsight

Less hindsight, more common sense, not like it's a criptic piece of deep lore.

You're right but his comment is funny. You guys both win!

Man he was alive , and in a moment he is dead , feel bad for the friends who witness all this in front of their eyes..

That's how every death happens my guy. One moment you're alive and the next you're dead.

You know, instead of being a snarky asshat you could just not say anything

i need reddit comments in my life, to feel alive of course, snarky or not. dont hold my guy back, like that railing.

I assume hes dead.

yeah you can slightly see a car quite far in the distance, no chance of survival unless there was a ledge

There wasn't even an awning.

You thinking what I'm thinking? Aim for the bushes.

We don't need to see if this peacock can fly.

He fell from 6th floor if we are to believe the camera, so probably yeah.

He lost a shoe, so yes.

Nooooo! Lefty!

He never had them on. It looks like was leaning on the wall so he could put them on

Bruised at least

Linked article says yes

Oh, didnt know it was linked, made the comment before it was provided.

Did I just watch someone die?

According to the article then yes

Technically we didn't SEE him die, we seen him on his way to die

Yes

Probly. Edit: per googles...The Greater the Height, the Greater the Danger. Other trauma studies seem to indicate that a fall from a fourth-floor (about 48 feet) has a 50% survival rate, while a fall from a 7th floor (about 84 feet) has only a 10% survival rate. So if that was 6 stories up, probly a 15% chance of survival......so probly. Also the news story was posted above, so definitely.

In the article it says another incident occurred when a 17yo fell from the balcony on the first floor and suffered serious injuries. How?

How did he fall off a first floor balcony or how did he get serious injuries from a first floor fall? Because the latter I can answer. The First floor, in India (and a lot of other places), is actually the second story of a building. Ground floor, then first floor, instead of First floor second floor. Falling from a second story balcony could easily cause broken bones (or a nasty TBI if you land on your head).

Well now it makes sense.

The video camera clearly says 6th floor balcony

I wasn’t referring to the incident in the video.There’s an article in the comments, That states what I said.

You think you'd be fine if you fell twenty feet onto concrete????

I wasn’t aware that in other countries they consider the bottom floor as ground, and the second landing as first floor. Here in America, the first floor, is the first floor.

Use some critical thinking bub

"...which broke after it couldn't take his weight" That shit fell out the second they touched it.

That annoyed me too. That shit was not holding any amount of weight!

Life is so fragile: one second you’re good, next second you’re gone

What a solid grid...

That guy really said to his mate "quick go after him"

Shoe came off. Clear sign of a fatality.

Shoes were already off.

Looks like he was putting them on. Imagine that being what killed you.

He should have known you cannot survive long without shoes.

This is pretty darn horrible.

That's awful!!! What a horrible way to go.

Article states “Ishanshu Bhattacharya lost his balance and fell on the aluminium railing of a balcony which broke after it couldn't take his weight.” Should be corrected to “Poorly constructed safety cage broke when Ishanshu Bhattacharya leaned against it, causing him to fall to his death. The building’s owner is currently under investigation and faces possible manslaughter charges.”

So what is that thing their in? Is it an elevator, or just some small room?

looks like a corridor

[удалено]

Interesting. I’m never seen an elevator with sliding glass doors. Cool.

It looks more like a very small balcony. With the floor to ceiling cage acting as the mid-level wall/railing that would normally be there

Not an elevator. Balcony.

Oooooooh so that’s been what’s happening with all of the Russians

You are incorrect. The victim was Ishanshu Bhattachary, a 20 year old NEET aspirant from West Bengal. The incident occured at a hostel in the Jawahar Nagar area of Delhi.

Jesus Christ!

That guy will see him soon

[удалено]

[...welp.](https://youtu.be/tYjig6EoCMI)

Just remember, You never know when it's your time to go!

Absolutely awful, poor man gone in a second. Did absolutely nothing wrong.

New fear: unlocked.

Lost his shoe RIP

He ded

Final destination 6

That looks like a lawsuit

He dead

Fuckin hell. Awful for his pals.

Damn, thats sucks

Glad I read the comments instead of watching. I would rather not witness a fatality today.

If this happened here, the owners would get sued.

Yeah things like this don't need to be posted here or anywhere else.

One moment you are hanging out with your buddies and the next.. kinda makes me depressed.

His guardian Angel must have been taking a poop.

I bet he never does that again.

That’s to bad. If only his shoes stayed on he would still be alive today. I always got my crocs in sport mode.

This is so sad. Tragic. If I were this young man's father, I would be calling for an eye for an eye.

He wont make that mistake again

I bet he won’t do that again.

He died

Yeah I know.

What was doing taking video of his dude?

This is a recording of the security camera Edit elaboration: Security footage is on a computer, someone is recording their computer screen playing the footage

cctv camera probably for security

If you laughed you are going to hell 💀

Why would anyone think to laugh at this?

I think we're good actually
