We'll never know for sure, but you gotta be S-class oblivious to not know the person you are talking to is both checked out and annoyed. Even ppl who have trouble with social cues would pick up on the lack of engagement. So I dunno. I think it was planned and he knew had had to get the pilot out of there to get his kids up in the cockpit. I don't think it was malicious, I don't think he was hoping hiskids would crash the plane, I just think he wanted a cool dad moment and it cost the life of many, his children included.

    I worked at SF General when the very sad incident happened to Lynn. The CNA that was sitting with her, her RN, and the Charge Nurse were all fired after this event. We work 12 hour shifts there, from 7pm until 7:30am was the time this happened, the CNA was ready to leave, the on coming CNA gets there at 7am, well by 7:40 they still hadn’t arrived, the CNA tried to call for help but no one came, she stepped out of the room, an absolute NO NO, to find someone to relieve her. When she stepped out, Lynn did also, going in the other direction. The hospital was going through renovation and, the rest is really sad!

Sure it may make things somewhat simpler, but it’ll never replace them. And it seems like this sort of thing only happens to people who truly care about the ones that are sick. There are so many elderly patients who are shuffled away into horrible retirement homes and their families could truly care less about them. But they don’t ever seem to have this type of answer to their own needs. The want to get rid of them. It’s a harsh truth but Those of you who work in the medical field know exactly what I mean. They aren’t the ones who are getting the huge paydays for their loss. That would be too easy. And if you ask me they shouldn’t!

    The last story is similar to Joseph Schexnider of Abbeville, Louisiana who suddenly disappeared without a trace one day in 1984. Fast forward 27 years later in 2011 and a renovation crew was tearing out a chimney in a bank right there in town. When the workers were removing the bricks, they found human bones. When the police retrieved the remains, they found Thomas’s identification. He had been right there the entire time. The police believed he got stuck in the chimney like Thomas, and remained entombed until they found him. Even had he screamed as loud as he could, the sound would have been directed upward and no one on the street would have heard him. The bank had never used fireplaces, and both of them had been sealed off when the space was occupied. That must have been a horrific way to die, but he played a stupid game and won a stupid prize.

The students really enjoy putting the “twists” that are prevalent in your work into their sketches. They are given a topic, and within 10 minutes they must create a scene based on a few suggestions- a place, a scenario, and characters- which is then acted out.

      I have to tell you what happened at the fair one year! I was wearing a Soldiers' Angels shirt when I stopped at a booth of Army recruiters. One of them saw my shirt and said, "Soldiers' Angels! You people are amazing!". He said that on his third tour of Iraq, their kitchen was blown up in a mortar attack. They were restricted to two MREs a day. They got back from patrol one day and found a HUGE pile of boxes waiting for them. They couldn't imagine what was in them. The boxes were all crammed with food, and they were all from Soldiers' Angels. They all had notes saying "We're proud of you" and "We love you". They had a feast that night, and they still had food left from us when they got their new kitchen. I told him that my kids and I had sent two of those boxes, and I didn't think I'd get my hand back! That was just amazing. I had to take my kids back to meet him. He insisted.

      It's more complicated than how MrBallen made it sound - though he's still a good storyteller. The usual telling is that the daughter was too little to make the controls do anything, but the son pulled them enough to adjust the autopilot slightly and nobody noticed the plane was off course until it crashed into the ground because they couldn't see outside. I don't fault MrBallen for making it a better story though.

    I was a medic for 10 years and have seen my share of dead bodies and I can remember 2 of the worst sights I’ve ever seen with dead bodies and 1 was in a car accident after it exploded into a fireball and all that was left was the outer shell of the car, the springs of the seat, his shriveled head in the backseat, a lot of bones, and the trunk of his body. It was bad and I had to get his body out in the dark while police were asking if I wanted bbq sauce with it🤢. The other was a man with dementia who went missing in the middle of summer for 2 weeks and that summer it was in the upper 90’s and 100’s in NC. He went out into the woods and shot himself in the head. Gruesome is an understatement with half of his head gone from the shotgun blast, he was swollen, covered in maggots, whatever of his head was left was black and rotten. I called my boss and said we needed air tanks and biohazard suits because it was that bad. Everyone said I turned green and I believe it. And the smells are as bad as everyone says and you can’t forget it.

If you *_can_* find an affordable care or sliding scale program, a lot of times they still don’t have the resources and only have limited treatment options for minor psychiatric conditions. Like our county-level mental health only covers depression, anxiety, and bipolar. And If the medication services don’t work for you the first try or if you don’t get along with your providers you aren’t allowed to switch, they’ll just remove you from the system.
      BetterHelp sucks for sure and isn’t much cheaper but it’s better than constantly calling the crisis line, and at least they let you switch if you don’t get along with your LMHP 😅
      I definitely recommend checking psychology today though, a lot of therapists/psychologists/psychiatrist have telehealth options that aren’t even remotely part of the betterhelp system.

The woman I spoke to there was license and had 37 years in was so helpful and gave me numbers to other services and resources. She didn't have too but she was what I wish I could find in a shrink. 😢😢it was a complete meltdown of disappointment when I asked well what if I pay out of pocket but I can't with the years I need to do this new therapy I need. Best regards to you I hope you can find one for you that fits somewhere in this world. This just solidified mental health care or lack thereof is almost unobtainable for the people that just can't afford not to get help. Our mental health is in the toilet in this county yet we have real people with real issues, I'll share mine was being kidnapped at gunpoint and beaten repeatedly. I just don't want meds and this place also will work with people who are willing not to do medication and it was so hard when that door closed last week. So I'm just going to keep kicking the doors down as I have been for the last 5 now almost 6 years and it's a living nightmare. God bless you.

      BRO starbaby was just trying to give you some information that YOU SHOULD hear if your going to go on 'a crusade' to thwart the "evil people" at better help but ur response tells EVERYONE 2 things 1. You have no respect at least while your able to type your ignorant comments without a threat of retaliation and 2. That your argument PROBABLY is some pathetic cry for attention AND REALLY NOTHING TO DO with better help. You can tell this because that last comment COULD HAVE HAD some crazy conspiracies or even some educated guess on how they might be working the system...but ur comment....was just a pathetic stab at someone you don't know...no useful information....but we will all learn all we need to know...about u

    I get the last homeowner having bars on his windows and a security system. If I were living there, I'd actually even plank the doors once inside. I didn't work hard my entire life and go through the crap I've had to just to have somebody break in and either squat or ransack the place.

      I'm so used to seeing them in Europe! After living in North america, I was surprised by the homes here in Spain. Every yard is fenced, all barred windows, etc. I don't think I could go back to fence-less backyards!

    I remember that story about Lynn, I live in SF, & I have always avoided hospitals way before that had ever happened. They likely thought it was a homeless person using drugs, so they kept walking. There’s a huge problem here with all that!

      Which is even worse they just kept walking! Drug user or not they're still someone's family! And obviously in her case it wasn't that so they did even worse by assume! Glad the family sued and won!

      @1694cgrnt I won't help people anymore because I was nearly unalived one time trying to save somebody who was faking. It's like The Boy Who Cried Wolf. I'd be like, "I'm not falling for that again". I just hope I can resist the urge if it ever happens again. Or maybe I would need more proof to validate a genuine rescue situation.

      But if she was outside the 4th floor door, wouldn’t someone question how she got into the stairwell? If the emergency exits there is anything like my apartment building, the bottom exit door is exit only and doesn’t open from the outside to get in.

    I lost my dog, my best friend, today at 14 years old. Got her at 4 months old back in 2009. I am devastated but your video gave me some peace and comfort since she would always snuggle up next to me and watch your videos. It was like one of our things. “3 places you can’t go” is one of my top favorite story lines. Thank you❤

      I’m sorry to hear about your poor puppy dog. I was a complete wreck when I lost my dog. And then I lost my cat a couple years later, he was 20 years old when he passed away and my best friend from day one. So I completely understand your pain and am so sorry for your loss. Most people don’t understand that it feels just like losing a part of your family.
