Of note about the Loretta Pickard case: The firefighter lead who was there was posting about the fire to snap-chat instead of rescuing the woman. While the dispatcher sounds bad in the audio, she did tell the lead repeatedly that there was someone trapped in the building. They did nothing with that info.

The man made every wrong choice, every moral failing, every dereliction of responsibility it is possible for someone in his shoes to make. Everything a firefighter is meant to do, he didn't. It's the kind of case that will be used to put the fear of god into recruits for the next century.

[@Mumbo_Wumbo]

As a dispatcher, Loretta’s story is arguably all of our worst nightmare. We try to reassure our callers the best we can, knowing full and well that we are powerless on the other side of the phone. All we can do is get responders out as fast as we can and try to give them hope that they’ll be okay. I teared up listening to her yelling because I could not imagine what that dispatcher felt, let alone what Loretta was experiencing. It’s such a tragic story.

[@graysonrogers-barnes6302]

People keep shitting on the dispatcher on here, but I think that poor girl was in shock by the end. You can hear her voice quiver just the tiniest bit on some of those "Hello"s and I think it probably really affected her. She had to sit there and listen to a woman be burned alive, and she couldn't hang up. She had no ways to help the woman and that would eat at me for the rest of my life if I were her. It's such a heartbreaking story. It's infuriating. But it is not the fault of the dispatcher.

[@WithDiameter]

[@HeatherHolt]

Sounds like you are one of the good operators. Sadly I’ve heard so so many horrible ones. Like the one where dude called to try and report the crazed Uber driver who later went on a killing spree, the operator acted like she was being bothered and he was being ridiculous. Another is when the woman was hiding from her attacker and the operator kept asking her to answer stupid unnecessary repeated questions - she was hiding in the room w her captor, he fell asleep, she got free got the phone gave the location was whispering saying she was scared he would wake up, and the operator kept asking her to repeat useless info over and over. And of course the typical “plz help me I’m dying!” And the operator goes “MAAM, MAAAAAM, stop yelling at me or I’ll have to disconnect.” It’s nice to hear good operators as I cannot imagine the amount of annoyance, stress, PTSD, concern, and general anxiety these calls must bring. You never know what you’ll hear, what the outcome ends up being I’m sure. I could not do it. I get too involved emotionally, too much empathy, I don’t think I could stay calm and logical. So I applaud you. ❤

[@3MamaBear3]

​@@HeatherHoltthis reminded me of the call where a woman was trapped in her car in a swollen river due to storms with water filling up her car, and the operator chastised her and basically said "well you won't be doing that again, will you". Tragically no, she wouldn't.

a native russian speaker here, as far as i understood from analyzing Vera's channel this channel is owned not by the lady but by her relative (as he writes in male gender and also speaks on the phone about being "disabled" and not being paid by the government). The man owning the channel can be seen on the video "asking for money", where his relative is asking for his money and he is irritated that she doesn't work at all and brings drug addicts into their apartment. there is simply too much content to go through in that short amount of time but maybe the situation is that his daughter/relative owns that apartment or a share of that apartment and often brings her friends/husband/kid there while they do drugs (some of the videos/descriptions say "doing drugs" or "smoking crack" while the people in the videos are clearly not acting normal) and i guess what the author meant in the descriptions is that the only way to get them out of the house is to kill them. But honestly from the way he writes and composes sentences that man is not mentally well. He is severely insane and the last uploaded three videos is of him talking to someone from the authorities and ranting about how he is not getting paid and putting the blame on Putin while his relatives are taking drugs. A haunting case by the way, it's extremely sad to see a child live in such conditions. edit: amazing video, nexpo. I missed seeing your videos on my recommended, this was probably the best video out yet, i was on the edge of my seat the whole time, anxious about the stories, you are definitely the best in your field

Also, translating the description into English only makes it more misleading, because the source text itself is an incoherent stream of consciousness from which you can extract some bits of information, but you won’t be able to fully immerse yourself in the context. The author is truly mentally unstable and cannot convey his thoughts clearly.

In the pipeline incident, the Paria company did actually send divers down. The divers were supposed to locate any survivors by knocking on the outside of the pipe. At one point, a diver reported back to the surface that he did hear knocking coming back to him a section inside of the pipe, but the leader of the rescue team just blew it off by summing it up to “they only have a few hours of oxygen”. The paria company and the rescue team KNEW people were still alive in there, they had proof and they made the conscious decision to not do anything and stop Chris from trying to help himself In his interview video, he goes into detail about the intense guilt he feels over not being able to save his team and about how he feels horrible that he just left them there.

Also ended up having 3 surgeries in the span of a week, so the last surgery, they had to withhold anesthesia (since I'd gotten two separate surgeries just days before, they didn't want me ODing on anesthesia). I had to lay awake as they cut me open & shoved a tube into my chest cavity that essentially suctioned my collapsed lung back into place. I could feel every inch of it pushing around my lungs, it was excruciating, & I had to lay extremely still while they did it. I guess because I was in so much constant agony from the bodily trauma (no pain meds were working for me, either, they gave me the heaviest stuff they could & nothing worked) so most of my days were spent moaning in pain, passing out, & repeating... all of that culminated in jacking up my pain tolerance to the point I COULD lay still while they did it. I know the surgeon told me "man, I don't know how you're able to do this, I know I couldn't" in the middle of it 😬 But thanks to all of those emergency surgeries I was able to walk on my own only 9 days after the accident (I didn't leave the hospital until 2 weeks later), & all that shittiness is why I won half a million dollars. Oh, & I forgot to mention my fiancé was with me when it happened, & even to this day, two years later, has horrible nightmares about me laying on the pavement after that.

I'm a former EMS dispatcher. I just want to point out that the dispatcher in the second case with Loretta did their job well. It's frustrating to listen to it knowing all of the facts, but as a dispatcher, you don't have much agency in those situations. All you can do is keep the caller calm as best you can and reassure them based on what you know to be true. As soon as Loretta conveyed that her house was on fire with the location, EMS would have been activated with all of the relevant information being passed as the dispatcher received it. They probably had another person there communicating with the fire team. The fire team would have had every bit of information that Loretta told the dispatcher. What a horrible, awful situation. I hope that chief never works in EMS again.

I speak Russian and have analysed Vera’s most watched/most recent videos. From what I can tell Vera is a heavy drinker as some video titles directly translate to “Drunk (number)”. She most likely lives in a communal apartment (an Apartment where 2 or more families live in separate rooms) as stated in some video descriptions. On the topic of descriptions they don’t seem like they were written by a very stable person. I also found a disturbing phone number linked to one of the video descriptions. It belongs to a psychoneurological dispensary in Moscow. The person who writes the descriptions also stated that they have been getting calls from this number, telling them to seek help, so it’s safe to assume that the person running the channel is mentally ill. It’s also made clear in the videos that Vera is fearing her apartment being taken away which would lead to her living on the street. It’s unclear as to why the cops came though. I can assume all day but the most realistic scenario would be noise complaints.

[@LoTsadik]

The most accurate description so far. While reading description in the video, first I started laughing but the further the text goes the scarier it becomes. Especially “cut their throats” part

[@netawa]

Not sure why my other comment was not posted, maybe internet issues. I took anotehr crack at this video and I think I can add up to your claim. This.. story is more sad then scary if i am being honest. This channel is ran by a man. I didnt find his name but I am sure that showrunner is a man. There is one vertical video which shows him on the video + in several descriptions language uses male tense. (not sure how to correctly say it in English). Now for story itself... well, first video is named - Elena Korotaeva. It's description mentions two important things. Elena is a daughter of whoever is recording this + it is stated that mother is dead. Channel owner blames it on daughter for "leading mother to grave". Yet the apartment is owned by the father and he started letting his daughter live in it. I suppose out of hate to her he also started recording everything to be able to show it in court if something happens which I will talk about later. Daught lived/lives a very chaotic style of life where she drinks, smokes and takes drugs in this palce until she is thrown out by authorities from request of neighbours. The owner of the paartment starts letting other people live in there while commenting and uploading what they do as sorta his show. Before continue I need to mention few things. This man has clear paranoia over government because his disability pension seems to be low and he is in debt because of daughter. Being unable to raise money because he cant work for medical reasons he became a target for banks. Since daughter doesnt have her own property yet or the apartment was signed on her as well - banks started targeting the old man as well. Closer to the end of videos and specifically in vertical one, the man stated his clear disbelief in country, government as concept and general disappoint that he as disabled person cant do much. THe comment our youtuber tried to translate comments on a court case which already happened where the man called the judge a whore because she likely ruled in favor of the banks and hence now he is being forced out of his apartment and likely his own house as well due to size of debt. That's all what I gathered.

Had a feeling just from the circumstances even without knowledge of Russian that Vera is probably a paranoid schizophrenic.

[@annaburakh]

Hey, Nexpo, as a russian speaker, I can clear up some things about Vera. First of all, the writing is really erratic, with little to no grammar (even i as a russian struggle to understand what they want to say at times) and full of typos so automatic english translate can't really do things as intended. What they're writing is more of an unstable angry Karen type of stuff than disturbing but I gotta say their bahavior is in fact creepy. Apartments in their videos are really rundown. Judging by their vids and behavior they might be middle aged like 40-50 and probably mentally Ill. Like for example there's a video of them broadcasting religious speech of Patriarch Kirill through a megaspeaker that's installed on their balcony so the whole street could hear. I honestly struggle to say what stopped them from uploading more, the easiest thing to assume is that they forgot their password or something. Other theories is that they might have faced some legal charges that stop them from using the internet one way or another. Another theory is that this was a series of mania episodes that lasted roughly two years (channel created in february 2018, last vid uploaded december 2019) and after that they moved to something else. The roughest theory is that the owner of Vera account died, maybe even during covid pandemic. to say more, i need to spend more time researching the topic but since that channel has so many vids ... i don't know, lol. what i also struggle to say is who exactly owns the account since the account is named "Vera Korotaeva" (a female name) upd: after watching some more, i think that the one who updated the channel was a man, and the account itself belongs either to his step daughter or wife. in videos with TV present he records his step daughter and wife and in the video description he sometimes dumps shit on them for "not doing anything and not having a job". His step daughter is disabled and he often mentions that some people want to drive them out of the apartment.

[@lostrevenant9994]

There's another video I've seen of someone describing the situation and I'm assuming in more detail than this video (haven't reach the Paria part yet), it was a known risk of the work they were doing if I recall and a lot of safety measures were skipped that should not have been but that is common practice in countries like the one in the video I believe as is with most jobs in third world countries

normally there is water/oil or whatever inside the pipe that is just below the plug, in this case there just wasnt because of lack of oversight.

@@biomefest I'm presuming whoever sent them down there were such massive cheapskates that they didn't have any risk assessment or if they did they disregarded it.

I listened to Loretta’s call in its entirety for training at my old job, and it was rough. Almost made me rethink my decision. It’s terrible to be on the other side of that phone knowing you can’t do anything but wait for resources to reach the person you’re talking to. Especially when that person doesn’t make it.

@@SuedeKittenBootsIf used as a firefighter training, it's to show that people should be your priority when you KNOW there is someone in the building, instead of stopping a fire outback. If used as a dispatch training it would be for that reason, sometimes you have to be able to mentally understand that is nothing you can do other than reasure the person even if it ends poorly.

[@viewtifulvash6068]

As someone who is deeply close with their grandmother, hearing Loretta's story, and listening to her screams broke me. After the segment was over, I hugged my grandmother while crying. I can't imagine something like that ever happening to her and just typing this is making my eyes water. Those firefighters shouldn't have only been fired, but charged with murder for letting her sit there to die. They should be sitting in prison right now.

Loretta’s story makes me the angriest. That is everyone’s vulnerable grandma. How can they just leave her there to scream? I’d be out for blood, I wouldn’t be able to help it. To leave someone so vulnerable and unable to suffer, I can’t. That’s too harrowing. No amount of money will bring Loretta back. The chief should be in prison for murder.

[@aleppo5398]

For real. He must've thought that he was so fucking smart when he decided to prevent the forest fire before saving a vulnerable lady trapped inside a fire. What a fucking moron. This made me so fucking mad cuz I have a paralyzed grandma. I can't imagine what she went through. Rip.

Loretta's story was way more infuriating than disturbing. I mean, having audio of her final moments is for sure unsettling, but holy shit, hearing the actions of the firefighters who were there, at the property, and did jack shit to save her overrode my previous feelings, and replaced them with anger.

[@dendenmushi5458]

​@@serenitytehe3045judging from how big the fire is, and lacks of water, i think the firefighter chief just think we can't make it in time to any saving. From the Snapchat we can see the flame already engulfed the whole house. Better keep the fire from spreading. We need to stop living in delusions where firefighter just strom in burning building endangering their own life to save people. They judge the severity of the fire, if it safe to go inside. Y'all just brainwashed by movies lol.

[@lunaxion8641]

If the report of the fire growing out of control and potentially causing a forest fire is true, then I can see the hard decision. Saving someone's life while letting the fire grow and potentially starting a forest fire, or setting up a reservoirs to put out the spreading fire so it doesn't endanger local residences and put the firefighters at further risk while letting the trapped person die. But taking a Snapchat video of a house fire, while knowing someone is inside it. Then negligence and lack of empathy were shown by the fire chief here.

Regarding the third entry: The original russian version of the description seems to state that the original owner of the account, Vera, hs died in 2014, and the current user, presumably her "disabled" husband, running the account, seems to believe that, quoting particular housing laws, the judges deny the eviction of the tenants, hoping that "[the disabled man] would slice them up with a razor", even appearing in his dreams, so they'd have reason to send him to jail, so that the tenants would claim the apartment for themselves. I may not be able to provide a more detailed translation, given that it's barely legible even in russian, but if you have questions, I can attempt to answer them.

I think the owner of the channel might be (or was) the security guard working in this building, judging by the uniform he wears in some of the videos. This would explain how he has access to all this footage.

[@Mukurokuro]

That first story pissed me off when the cop gave out a death threat & said it was totally okay to say if he didn't act on it. Death threats are illegal even if you don't intend to act on what you said. Bad cops are the worst and as a security officer I've met too many cops who literally run & lie when it comes to having to do their job.

[@auki919]

isn’t it wild that cops aren’t actually educated on the law in any meaningful way? the law is literally supposed to be their job

[@issintf925]

Pretty normal, Richland Police are fucking awful. I live in the same part of town as this story

[@seanbutler8818]

I agree, I’ve worked in security for almost 8 years in all kinds of different positions but one thing remains consistent, a lot of officers will do anything they can not to do their job. Not all of them are bad, but enough that it becomes concerning for sure. I never knew how terrible some of these officers were until I got to step into their world. Not only does it remove trust and security from the community, but it also turns lots of potentially exceptional officers from applying to policing because some officers are just purely dreadful to work with.

I always feel kinda sad when something strange that takes place in Russia is covered by foreigner youtuber and at the same time and draws no attention of local ones. But anyway, thanks to author for preventing this case from being burried in dust of the internet history :) This kind of buildings is really widespread, especially in old towns in central Russia and old districts of some big cities. But nevertheless, it feels off to see CCTV, which the owner has access to, placed in the rooms to record the private live of residents... Maybe it's some kind of "affordable accomodation" for deprived people, but I'm not sure...
