My job had the mother fuccing AUDACITY to call me after the rain let up from Hurricane Harvey. I politely told them, "The mayor said stay at home" and that's what I'm going to do. I worked at a small hospital, and they had moved all the patients. WTF did I need to be there for? They didn't want to pay us our PTO. Fuck these jobs. You can get another job but you can't get another life.
@@Willie-g9xget off social media with your sensitive virgin ears child! When someone plays with your life with no regards, then you hear news like this of someone who died from being "called into work", you could care less about censoring your vocabulary. This was a preventable death and that man should have stayed home safe in his bed. But these jobs don't gaf about the safety of their workers. If they did, they would have warned him to take a specific route or be very cautious. He was most likely rushing and by the time he seen the water it was too late to stop on time. Just be glad you were never put in such a hard place. But life has a way of humble us sooner than later.
Yooo essential or not where is the common sense of this person!?! Who in their right mind does this after alllll of the warnings they've received for literally years. My tax dollars have been spent on marketing to protect the ignorant and yet it didn't help.
@@daleemrick9816 you seem to be the only person here using basic reasoning and logic skills. Half the people here likely would have suffered the same fate had they of been in the same situation. We have the benefit of hindsight, but their superiority complex won't let them see it.
This is exactly why I was not coming to work today! Roads have been filling up too quickly I knew it was going to be bad. This could have been prevented. 😢
I'm concerned at the fact no one suggest to the gentleman to use his headrest to bust the back window out and free himself in time. Ladies and Gentleman for those who may not know..your headrest comes out and has long sharp metal prongs designed to break the back window to free you out in time encase of an emergency..prayers and condolences to that officers family 🕊
Sometimes in a state of panick not everyone keeps a level head and thinks that hmm you know the head rest could break out the window. Let me just take a sip of coffee, plenty of time . Make my emergency call then to get the headrest off crawl over the seats to the back and break glass. The vehicle might have been engulfed all the way around by this time and thus making the glass that much harder to break. May he rest in peace
Did the electrical in his car fail? Cars should have emergency crank handles to roll down all windows. Like the crank handles of old. New fancy tech fails in water and can trap individuals.
Exactly… we keep making more and more technical advances that can actually cause more problems than they solve. There have been these new locks for instance, that require a bluetooth connection to your phone to open the door - yet this actually makes life harder because if your phone dies, if it gets stolen or lost, if the app is having technical problems or if someone wants to rob you of your prized possessions, all they would need to do is to steal your phone or even hack it.
@@maylinb That is a given. In the past, people were taught to roll the windows down immediately and to not wait until their vehicle was fully submerged.
Guys let this be your PSA: there are tools you can buy on Amazon or elsewhere to keep in your car and they’re designed to be able to break your glass in an emergency from the inside. I forget what they’re called - google it and then buy at least three. Put one in your front and back seat footwell and put one in your trunk where you can get to it in case you are tangled up in your seatbelt or the car is crushed. Seconds count.
Your job may dictate that you must come in during a natural disaster because you are an essential worker. Ultimately your life is in your hands. You must use perfect judgement and decide if you are capable of being there and on time. Now I have walked off of jobs because I felt that I was being asked to do something that I knew would get me hurt or killed. " Choices".
Looked like glass in the moon light . obviously the sun wasnt up yet since they called him . he. Probably thought it was lower than it was but failed to see it and once in it quickly made the call for help but hpd was to slow like always .
Check the city website. There will be a job posting for his position up by Friday. These MF DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOUR SAFETY. DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT risk your life for a damn JOB in an emergency situation if they can not guarantee you a safe path to and from wherever THEY need you.
Why don't they send high water vehicles for these supposed essential employees. They tell them come hell or high water they better get their ass to work? Well high water it was.
So, because of Faulty Upper Management, this Man lost his life. His Family lost More. And, who tf makes the policy of calling someone to work in the middle of a Hurricane?! What happened to Common Sense??? 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
"HPD driving abive safe speeds for conditions crashes and drowns in vehicle". There. Fixed it. They would send the ticket to our next of kin if it was a civilian. Wife was knocked unconscious in a car wreck. Transported to the hospital unconcious. She was written 3 tickets. Faikure to orivide identification. Failure to provide proof of insurance and failure to privude registration.
If you trespass one person every day for a year that's 365 people you trespassed in a year you do that for 50 years you can understand why there's nobody in the parking lot anymore. For the loss that compensation I feel that you should take every penny away from the tribal Police. And the main reason for that is they never came to the owner of the land trespass anybody from! But they surely were them morons that destroyed the business.
Like in moments like this, you have to stay cautious driving if you are going to be out for whatever reason flood waters dont drain that fast, so on undeer passes or any street, just drive slowly. Condolences for this deputy Family and friends may you rest in gods kingdom!
If Hildago had put all hazardous caution signs sandbags flashing light warning signs high water with barricades in place before hurricane hit land, with back up trucks to evacuate people in place, like all other surrounding cities such as Galveston, Texas city etc... he would have passed up exit & took different route & been alive today. The judge that was acting commissioner did a good job he was there on point days ahead with everything in place & everything ran smoothly. Everybody was safe. I blame her for negligence & not doing her job. She didn't come in till day of storm. She's not qualified she a mentally ill kid. Why when it's time for them to do their job they're always gone or partying. 🤔 getting paid our tax paying their salary for nothing. I hope the Mayor fire her behind. Lots of people are dying from this heat while their families are safe & cool. 😢😢😢
They love throwing essential on we’re requiring you to risk your life to get to a job. Why not think to use a water rescue truck to pick up and drop off essentials workers from their homes to work to ensure their safety! Prayers to his family 😢

I find it hard to understand how so many people die in floods, there's no whirlpools or rip currents to drag you out to sea. I feel like this wouldn't usually happen to people who know how to swim. It's definitely a life skill.
@maylinb There is something called windows. Anyone with common sense would know to climb out when the water started coming in, unless they were disabled and it didn't say he was.
Police officer certification and licensure in the United States In the United States, certification and licensure requirements for law enforcement officers vary significantly from state to state.[1][2] Policing in the United States is highly fragmented,[1] and there are no national minimum standards for licensing police officers in the U.S.[3] Researchers say police are given far more training on use of firearms than on de-escalating provocative situations.[4] On average, US officers spend around 21 weeks training how to handle a gun, and no other training for anything else.... Training before they are qualified to go on patrol, which is far less than in most other developed countries.[4][5] and as I've always stated unlicensed and uneducated officers driving the streets at the State of California

This makes me mad. Essential or not, this worker lost his life FOR NOTHING.
And I bet if he called in he would’ve gotten in trouble or fired 🙁

@@YusoSerious23most likely it was dark outside when he was driving and he couldn't see how deep the water was

How long does it take your car to submerge in water once you are already under?
That's a very good point the news missed a great opportunity to share this bit of info
Also keep a seat belt cutter in your center console a lot of them come with glass breakers on the bottom
The family should sue the company he was working for.
Condolences to the family. May he RIP ! 🙏🌹
HPD should be ashamed of themselves.
This makes me so upset. He lost his life because he was forced to drive during a hurricane!
I’m so sorry to hear of the loss for his family & community. ❤️🩹
Such a sad loss , condolences to the family
Praying for his family 🙏🙏
So sorry.
Did he get stuck in his vehicle??
😢
Prayers to his family from a former T1.💐😢
So sad 😭 this is heartbreaking 💔!
C'mon. HPD employee more than anyone would know there are floods.
Everyone makes mistakes 🤷♂️
Blame the job for forcing him to come in
@@jerinbrowder2468absolutely not. Situational awareness clearly wasn’t there man..

Still don’t work if there’s too much water pressure.. You have to be quick acting

Rest In Peace. My Condolences To His Family. Continued Prayers
Rest in peace. Very sad 😔
Prayers to the family. Rest in peace.
People were warned not once not twice or even three times but MANY times. 😑 Heed the warnings people.
They probably threatened to fire this man if he didn't come in. Stop being so insensitive.
R.I.P.
Oh mannn, this is awful. My deepest condolences to the family. 😢
Rest in peace sir 🙏 please don't drive in the flood 😭 Australia
God bless his soul 💖🙏
so sad! 😥❤️
Praying for the family 🙏
God how awful
Im praying for the family to find some kind of peace 😢
So so sad, prayers for his family
I dnt understand if u c it flooded y try nd drive thru it. Smh sad
Maybe he didn’t see it. Think! no lights.
Looked like glass in the moon light . obviously the sun wasnt up yet since they called him . he. Probably thought it was lower than it was but failed to see it and once in it quickly made the call for help but hpd was to slow like always .
Same reason why we don't understand why his job FORCED HIM TO COME IN and drive through that water
I don’t think he was that dumb he was probably speeding and went into the water quick you seen the water damn near to the ramp
@@smith7388 I’m sure he had headlights
Rest in peace. Condolences to the family & friends. 💔🥀🕊️
Always that one company that says you have to come in or get 🤬🤬
Prayers 🙏🏾
Bro jumped off a bridge instead of going to work its sad but reliable. We need change.
How do you not exit your car and start to swim , how about not getting in the water call in say u cant go to work . R.I.P 🙏
Once you are in the water, you are never getting the door open. And if you can’t open the window, you are sol.
He probably could not swim.

How do you not see the water right in front of you
It fascinates me how many people die like this…

There were no immediate life threatening issues to take the risk. Tell me: Who or how many died because he never made it to work??
Why wasn’t he rescued immediately???
Probably couldn't get fire and rescue there soon enuff.
This is so senseless and sad. Essential that you stay at home!!! They DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU!!!
What makes it worse is none of them would do anything for my son are my daughter and my ex-wife or their family
God help us 🙏 😢
Smh someone here lacked something by a lot
RIP
Pay the hell attention drivers. How do you not see a frigging lake in front of you like wtf.
Prayers for the lawsuit. Money will make the family feel better.
Ehhh🤷♂️
I hope they change policy
Great Job HPD dragging your employees TIER 1 you called in to work on a Hurricane🙆🏽 His family should SUE YOU!
That’s what happens when you have electric windows and nothing in the vehicle to break out a window.
And the Texas governor is in Asia, instead of taking care of his citizens.
My deepest condolences to the family .
🙏🏽
Unless the job is coming to pick me up…. I ain’t coming. Not damaging my car or risking my life.
Turn Around, Don't Drown !!
It's crazy, bc that roadnwas clearly flooded and he still went
