I saw a documentary about Otto Warmbeir and it seems the North Koreans injected him with an anesthetic to calm him down and for whatever reason, either because of his personal genetics or because of the amount injected, it stopped his heart and they only noticed/revived him after 5 minutes by which time he got severe brain damage. Very sad story. Don't go to North Korea guys. It's not a tourist destination. There are real people suffering there, we need to be respectful of that.

I would presume the 5th floor was for the people who worked at the hotel, to remind the workers not to believe the American tourists stories/prevent them from talking to them in anyway

[@Estie_cz]

@@e11124 Possible. I think the fifth floor is just too obvious. If you want a floor where no one goes, you put it on the top floor, or the basement. Not in the middle of the hotel on a floor that is actually accessible from all directions and people go by it day by day. It seems to me that floor 5 is a bait and although a lot of people bite the bait, they choose whom to use as an example for the North-Korean nation. This time it was Otto - it's very likely he didn't even steal anything, he just represented everything they hated in America and used him and eventually killed him.

[@isabelalessandro9480]

His whole speech at the court just seemed extremely fake. Wjy would he say that he's the oldest son that often? I mean, this is way more likely to be said by a Korean then by an American. In Korea, the oldest son often becomes the money maker so the family really depends on him. I've often heard korean friends saying their the oldest one and the pressure is on them or something. But this guys family wasn't even poor (they lived in a good neighborhood) and in America It doesn't really matter whether your the oldest son or not. What I'm saying is I really think It's likely that someone wrote that speech for him and forced him to say all that.

[@piked774]

Isabel Alessandro it's more than obvious that was scripted.

[@orlandopelletier5036]

THAT STATEMENT OTTO READ WAS 100% IN FULL SCRIPTED BY SOMEONE WHO SPEAKS KOREAN AS THERE FIRST LANGUAGE..that and its also completely obvious that the video of crime is totally doctored... its painfully obvious, I cant believe I had to scroll this far down in comments to find someone willing to state the obvious ...I cant stand kim jon un or his dictatorship but grow some brains people and before you slag off on Otto for his supposed non exsistent "sins" (of which there was none, Kim wanted a political pawn, he called his secret police and instructed them to arrest the next young white american student that attempts to leave the country and see him found guilty of whatever is convienient, put on a show trial and lock him up, otto just happened to be that guy, he dident do fuck all wrong.) Also before you give him shit about going to North Korea factor in these 2 cold hard facts as well...... 1. More Americans are kidnapped tortured, and murdered IN THE CONTINENTAL USA, bye their own fellow countrymen - BY FAR - the numbers are in the thousands every year in the USA....compared to what averages out to roughly (for the last 5 years) 1 american hostage taken about every 18 months by north korea as a pawn.....the majority have been returned alive as well I might add...

[@ricechrispiness]

Isabel Alessandro that just proves her point. Thats a korean expression, that speech was FOR SURE written by them

[@chaostears]

Orlando Pelletier those americans being kidnapped and murdered by their “fellow countrymen” are considered crimes still in the us. Otto was basically a prisoner of the government.

Having assisted a fully awake adult wheelchair-bound person on and off a standard passenger 747 several times over a number of years, I can confidently say that no, they could NOT have taken an unconscious adult off the plane in a wheelchair (much less on a gurney/cot) while walking down a ramp like that (steep and slick.) And keep in mind the plane in the video was merely a standard smaller passenger plane too as opposed to a 747, hospital plane, or better yet - a helicopter. I'm also guessing there was NOT a lot of time to prepare or to act, much less warn people ahead of time....they had to get in and get out ASAP, using whatever tools were available to them at the time. ='(

The fear this man must have felt, the torture, a punishment in a labor work camp, and the way the people of North Korea are brainwashed into hating American citizens, despite their friendly appearance. Traveling is amazing, but some countries are just better left unvisited.

[@mollywontshutup]

I honestly don't think he made it to the work camp. I imagine he was an experiment gone wrong to them.

[@TheLivingreality]

It's unbelievable that people are seriously still blaming Otto for this. It shouldn't be a "he needed to be careful" type of situation. It needs to be fixed as a WHOLE. North Korea is the issue, not Otto. If you watch the video of the so called confession, it will give you the chills because you know something is wrong. Stop blaming Otto. He was curious about a different culture. He doesn't deserve to be trash talked on the internet because of it. Have some respect

[@BhappyD]

Amen! It's heartbreaking to hear how cruel some people are being to this poor boy, and to his family. Have some respect for a young man who was killed unjustly, with NO proof of any "crime", and allow this family to mourn the loss of their son, who did NOTHING to deserve his fate. Nothing. The issue isn't with Otto, the issue is with North Korea. Yes, given the risk, people probably shouldn't be traveling to NK. However, this doesn't excuse the fact that a young adventurous boy was tormented and ultimately killed. The ONLY one to blame is North Korea. I don't care the circumstances, the VICTIM never deserves to be blamed. Have a heart people! God bless his family! 💗

[@foreverlibra93]

TheLivingreality , it is his fault even if he didn't steal the poster he shouldn't have even been on the 5th floor . If he had did what he was supposed to do and stayed on the hotel floors he was allowed to be on he would have come home with his tour group friends . You know what they say about curiosity killing the cat , in this case it killed Otto

[@motherkirk4844]

Monae Jones, what if the 5th floor is a trap for Americans who go over since they know we're a curious bunch of people.

[@the_sound_of_art]

+JAZZMAN SAME THING I WAS THINKING BECAUSE OTHER THAN IT HAVING ANTI AMERICAN STUFF THERE'S NO REAL REASON OR USE FOR IT'S EXISTENCE

[@allisonterrey5641]

Very true. But also, how do we know that North Korea didn't stage that video so they could keep an American hostage for bargaining purposes? You can't even see the person's face in that video, how are we supposed to believe it's him?

[@heathernicole3592]

Traveling can be awesome but its SO SO SO important to be careful. You don't know what the laws and punishments are in other countries and a harmless action can end up disastrous. Don't risk it :)

[@emilya3634]

good message.

[@zena0734]

Okay but it wasn’t Ottos fault and it’s pretty damn obvious

[@micaelapayne9123]

This is such a sad story; however I was surprised you did not mention that Otto’s family objected to having an autopsy performed. There is no telling what details could have been revealed and it seems a little strange to me that the family would not want to know the true cause of his death.

[@peachsol]

I heard on tv where i live that an infectious bug was the reason for his coma but now idk what to think since it seems like they wanna keep it silent

[@beddersox]

His families religious practices are against autopsies.

[@wasgeorgewashington]

The children singing made me feel super uneasy, like throwing up. It’s a super eerie and makes you feel gross almost.

[@EstherGrace2.0]

Yes it was horrible

[@Limptastical]

Yeah. Indoctrination does that to ya. The kids were groomed for singing and showing off

[@kbucket]

I think it’s so wrong to go there as a tourist... yeah it’s something not everyone gets to do but nor should they (except for investigative journalism). If you want to tour there, you’re funding a horrible and oppressive regime. It’s also just a stupid idea & you risk this situation happening to you... I don’t think he deserved what happened to him at all, i honestly don’t even think he did take the poster down (they just used him). People just need to do the proper research and not be so ignorant as well before going anywhere

[@cyngIamTurtle]

He saw something and they were never going to send him back alive. The poster was just a scapegoat so folks can say well he broke the rule so whatever happens next is what happens.

[@crochetingcanuck]

Personally I think even investigative journalists are nuts to goto places like that.

[@Eclipsepearl]

[@KhanMann66]

Life in NK is harsh. Life in South Korea is a little better but, the fast pace and very competitive economy makes it hard for the refugees to fit in.

Rest in peace Otto. I'm sorry for what you went through buddy, but glad you were put to rest at home with your family. Traveling can mean so much to a person, I know as im a fellow traveler. But a trip should end with coming back home to your loved ones and unwinding. I feel remorse he wasnt able to do so, I could only imagine his grief

Is it just me or when he was being escorted by those two men was he already on conscious and they were literally gripping his clothes had them under his arms to hold them up this is so bizarre I feel so bad for his family and for the world who it seemingly has lost a really great bright shining light that let's be honest the world needs more of

[@nicolemisita3734]

I wonder how many Americans are in these camps maybe that's where a lot of the missing people end up

[@BhappyD]

I believe that there are currently 3 Americans imprisoned in North Korean camps (possibly 2, I can't remember if that number included Otto or not). It's pretty well known if an American is captured by North Korea, as they like to make it very public and use it as leverage towards America. To them, it's a symbol of their power, and they want everyone to see and believe that. When they arrest an American, they want everyone to know about it.

[@nicolemisita3734]

Brittany that's so scary that they hate us so much

[@TheCrystalBoat]

The government hates America a lot, but the people only hate America because they are taught that during the war, Americans were disgustingly brutal and that America is always trying to start a war with NK, even though it's actually the other way around. A lot of the art work in NK also depicts white people very scary looking.

[@CodenameTurtle]

Oh my god, this is so heartbreaking. This poor boy. Poor baby.

[@elavariam180]

I wanted to cry when you showed the clips of the kids singing “happily” I feel so bad for them

[@jeremythomas7455]

What happened to him is terrible and North Korean government should be held accountable. My question is...why would anyone willingly choose to go to North Korea? If the people living there could safely leave, they would in a heartbeat.

[@asole100]

What I want to know is why the US. allows Americans to go over there? I mean they are putting both them self's at risk, and America its self at risk by giving them leverage

[@Jessica-ec3ic]

Asole Hem that's a really good point. I understand why people want to go. It's because they're fascinated by NK. In the US, we can't fathom living in a country like that, so people are naturally curious to see it. Not me! I think it's sooo dangerous and I don't think people should be allowed to go there. But I guess the US can't put restrictions on where people can go, otherwise we'd be just like NK.

[@asole100]

@Jessica True but they could still make it a law if they wanted to because it would be a matter of national security

I will tell you why. Just as south korea is backed up by USA, North Korea is backed up by China. Now nor USA, China, UN or EU care about the people in both koreas, i´ll tell you what they care about, power. So yeah when France and USA force people to accept treaty of no to nuclear weapons but still they dont trash them they are not fighting for people but for power, same here. So China "protects its people" by not allowing an american "freeing" military base near them. That is why USA helps south korea, not because they care, but because if south wins then capitalism and democracy will win and USA will show "look i am powerful" place a military base near china and bye bye china´s power. Same as happened with the cuban misile crisis. So if you agree with the cuban military actions taken by usa but disagree to the military actions taken by china you are just plain hypocrit
