The supermarket story is a new one for me.... reminds me of a book I read some years ago about rat infestations that describes how someone saw a rat poking his head out of an air vent of a house somewhere in California.... when investiagted, they found a house with thousands of rats that the owner used to feed daily.... she died in the house and the rats also ate her dead body....🐀🐀🐀

That Mexia Supermarket story is really eerie, I can't even imagine what that specialist team had to endure in there

[@TheGood888]

In researching the case, a few newspapers stated the team had to wear specialist gear to protect themselves from countless diseases. They also had to be decontaminated before they could leave the building safely. The smell was absolutely terrible on the outside, making nearby residents sick... nobody knows how bad it was inside because everyone who entered donned air-filtering masks. By far one of the most dangerous places to enter at the time.

[@Crabgar]

@@TheGood888 Almost sounds irradiated. It's crazy that a mass of food rotting could leave such a zone of pestilence.

[@TheGood888]

@@Crabgar There were so many hazards that pesticides had to be sprayed across the building to curb rodent and pest numbers. Even then, as Brian Boerner noted in this video, the pests were enough to cover up one's arm. The extent of rotting food + breeding + lack of human intervention of any kind due to incompetence mainly from the building's lien holder (Comercia Bank) caused the perfect storm.

[@KaBar41]

Well, if they could have found a way to stop the rats and mice, they could have burned it down. I believe I saw a government agency do this once. They did this by essentially making a giant wall of fire around perimeter of the contaminated house and then once that fire was up and burning, they began to burn the house. The outer ring prevented the rats and mice from escaping and allowed the house to be burned down without creating a mass exodus of rodents. Of course, the location of this building may have prevented this from happening.

There is also a good deal of a difference neurologically between an animal that has been domesticated for 10k years and a wild animal. Sure, they can like you, just like you like them, but they fundamentally aren't adjusted to being with people.

The tiger sensing his stroke isn't impossible though. Of course since it's a wild animal its behavior can't be predicted but felines sensing injuries or illness in people is completely accurate.

The Fort Worth Mexia story is a scary one that people really underestimate. Lots of people like to think any sort of apocalypse happened, they would be fine and could scavenge for food in businesses like in the Fallout video games. Not so, this store is a very serious showcase of exactly how bad conditions will get if maintenance stops, it's not even a building that got damaged, just a building that was no longer being maintained. A few months after the disaster hits, anything not already scavenged is going to be in a bioharzard zone.

Mexia Supermarket is among my favourite lost media topics. Something not discussed in this video is the fact that apparently, footage of people breaking into the store to steal canned goods exists, and that news reports of the incident were made. Just need someone in Fort Worth, Texas to share any home recordings they might have taken!

[@clarkesuperman]

This makes a lot of sense as to how the environment in there became so ridden with pests and vermin, in such a short amount of time. It also explains why some of the footage shows goods on the floor like the place was ransacked. If people had breached doors and/or windows to break in, it would explain how so many pests were able to enter the building. Usually abandoned buildings, despite their contents, hold up a lot longer than Mexia did.

[@TubbyTarchia]

Animals shouldn't be show animals, period. Elephants, horses and whatever other popular non-predator show animals can be dangerous and they go through immense abuse just the same. I'm so tired of people just making this statement in regards to big felines and crap as if those are the only animals that deserve to be free of this mistreatment because the media loves portraying predators as inherently more dangerous to humans specifically, while some herbivores are responsible for tens of times more deaths than any large felines. Irregardless an animal'd kill count shouldn't determine whether they should be abused in human hands

[@TubbyTarchia]

@@moppupaws exactly. In kind, his claim that the tiger was just helping him sounds delusional. I have no doubt a tiger COULD act out of genuine concern for a human, but 90% of the time, if the animal is feral, it doesn't care one bit. It's a wild animal and just because it attacked him without killing him doesn't mean it cared for his wellbeing. Roy to me sounds deranged to think this, but then any people trying to domesticate wild animals as if it's not a largely very long evolutionary process are sick in the head regardless. Zero sympathy

The idea that the Tiger was actually trying to save Roy's life rather than attack him isn't that far fetched--i recently watched a docu about a pig who saved her owner who fell over, unable to move, having a stroke...

I was wondering if the tiger sensed that something was happening with Roy. Dogs and cats both have been working as trained cancer, epilepsy and diabetic emergency animals. They are able to sense that cancer is present in their owners, and tell when the owner is going into an epileptic seizure or diabetic coma.

[@amberlawson7867]

i mean if the tiger really wanted him dead, like you said, he would of been dead. Without the footage we wont know, the problem is this is a huge cat even if it was trying to safe him or was playing it could of easily harmed him without thinking. I mean even my dog bites to hard sometimes when he is playing so its not out of the realm, most the time when they have "prey" they wont let go and wont let anyone take it so it is odd he pulled him to the side and just let go

I was lucky enough to see Siegfried and Roy a year or two before the attack. Some of the acts did have dangerous elements like tigers and fire, but it wasn't played for shock appeal whatsoever. It was pure spectacle, everything was big and flashy, there was a giant fire-breathing animatronic dragon, lines of dancers, big animals and props. As a young magician I was a little disappointed by the lack of hands-on tricks and sleight of hand but I loved it for what it was.

Im not surprised the Mexia supermarket footage was lost. I work in the dept. of my city that handles records of the city, so for contracts, deeds, etc. Here in Tx there are retention schedules (the time given for a document has to be retained before destroyed) for everything, camera footage, minutes from city council meetings, etc. I’m not sure how long the retention schedule would be in the health dept. so maybe there chances are it already could’ve hit the retention date and got destroyed (usually tapings only are about 2 years) or people working at the time just lost it somewhere (not an ideal situation but hey, it happens). In my town the person working before us didn’t do a good job of record keeping and we’re right now trying to figure out what has been saved and what was thrown out.

Doesn't matter whether she felt pressured into it or not; she still had full control over her actions.

So she deserves to be held accountable for her actions.

[@prophetofash]

I figured the Owen Hart fall would've been included. it was during a live Pay Per View, but when he actually fell, the broadcast was away at a pretaped interview. Multiple cameras in the building, including two stationary cameras, caught him falling 90 feet to his death in a wrestling ring. WWE has confirmed they have footage of it, but will obviously never release it. in their vault, it's labeled "never to be played, distributed, or destroyed"

[@mc98smusicmoviereviews93]

Another thing to consider is that back in the late 90s, handheld fan cameras were almost completely prohibited and quite hard to sneak into wrestling show venues. There are people who say they’ve seen a leaked “fan cam” video of Hart’s fall on P2P sites in the early 2000s. Because of what I mentioned above, I am very very skeptical of these claims. More likely, they saw the video from the New Jack Vs Vic Grimes scaffold match that used to get passed off as Owen.

I’ve never heard of Siegfried & Roy, so for most of that first entry I was dreading the outcome of what happens to the tiger- I remember that circus elephant rampage in Hawaii that went as horribly as it could’ve, for both civilians and the elephant. An absolute nightmare. I was fully expecting to hear Roy died, the tiger was put down, and for there to be a huge stupid debate on using wild animals in show acts. I actually sighed in relief when that wasn’t the case. I’m glad Roy survived, I’m glad the tiger survived, and I’m glad most ppl seem to agree tigers aren’t mindless killing machines (they just aren’t good costars… bc they’re wild animals). I’m skeptical abt Roy claiming the tiger knew he was having a stroke, it’s possible, but I think I lean more towards the tiger being spooked. It’s also possible it was just trying to play fight and didn’t realize how much damage it dealt until it was too late.

[@raeoverhere923]

Mantacore was hand-raised by the two magicians from a very young cub, he was really comfortable with the stage, the acts, and especially his 'parents'. While I agree he may have been a little startled by the change in script, a tiger isn't a prey animal, who gets nervous when things aren't what they expect; they're apex predators, and they adapt to unexpected situations. The fact that Mantacore grabbed Roy's sleeve before anything feels like he was trying to warn his 'dad' that something was wrong, because he did let go when Roy gave him the release command. When Mantacore dragged Roy off the stage, he dropped him and went to sit in his cage for dinner. That said, there are conflicting stories, and without the video to analyze, we'll never know. Roy claimed he stumbled and fell as the stroke began, and that's what caused Mantacore to jump at him and pull him off stage. A stagehand and electrician working that night said he grabbed Mantacore's tail which caused the tiger to stop long enough for someone to shoot a fire extinguisher at it, which is what actually made the tiger drop him. An animal handler came out in 2019 and told the Hollywood Reporter *he* was the one who grabbed the tiger, and he yelled for someone to grab a fire extingusher, and someone else stuck their fingers in the tiger's mouth to make him drop Roy. The Hollywood Reporter did try to contact other people to corroborate the handler's story, but no one responded. Siegfried and Roy maintained to their deaths the tiger wasn't trying to hurt him, even though it did, and going back to live in that mansion with all of those other tigers loose makes me lean toward their story. Siegfried agreed with everything his partner claimed, and said he didn't know why that animal handler came out and said those things. The USDA investigated, and even if the two only said the tiger was only reacting to prevent it from being put down, they still kept him close until Mantacore passed away, and kept working with their other tigers. To me, that says they're confident that they weren't in danger living with their family, and what really happened is, to me, less important than knowing everyone was okay in the end.

[@SharpForceTrauma]

I believe Roy's side, they were always fair to their animals, there's no reason Manticore would have simply "attacked", and they can sense problems.

Apparently the whole situation regarding the supermarket was some comedy of errors when it came to who was responsible. The place was established by Advance Investment Corp who got a loan from the Comercia bank in the area. After the building shutdown, ownership transferred to a trustee while they filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy. The bank became a lien holder and by that point thr lawyer for Advance Investment states the trustee should’ve decided what to do with the stock in the store but apparently they simply told the electrical company to cut the power before things spiralled out of control. When it came to deciding who was to blame, no one could really figure out who as legally the people who owned the store had returned to Laos and Comercia said it wasn’t their problem as they weren’t the legal owners. So nobody got fined or charged with anything and the city of Fort Worth had to pay for the mess
