about the guy in the wheelchair being stuck on the second floor: the elevator shouldn't shut off when the fire alarm is pulled! One of the reasons they tell you to keep the elevators clear is so that people who *can't* use the stairs can use them, or so firefighters can quickly navigate the building, They can also sometimes malfunction if fire has reached them. Also, if you see a disabled person stuck on higher floor, call the fire department yourself and let them know there's a trapped person. Even if you don't know if there's a fire yet, do it to be safe. The first thing they'll do is go and get the person and bring them down safely. Remember to NOT attempt to lift a person or their wheelchair without permission, you could end up seriously injuring them or destroying their wheelchair. Chairs (and the people who use them in some cases) are suprisingly delicate. - your local wheelchair user

The firebox pull station was designed like that so it could be installed where there were a lot of pranksters pulling the alarm to watch the fire trucks race down the street. When the firemen are responding to a false alarm they can't protect anyone who might be in a real fire so that housing was designed to make the miscreants easier for the police to identify and arrest.

7:04 the fact that with the children's playground you can just see a child falling off it amazes me

[@paulkennedy8701]

You mean the one near the left edge with arms and legs in the air? He's not falling. He's swinging. See the points directly above him where the ropes are fixed to the beam. Like the boy about 4 m to the right of him.

Hi👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

[@richardhowell8553]

the image at 6:51 I get that at random times on my head unit in my Chevy Cruze. Hate that msg like everything. Funny is it will show up right after starting vehicle and you are NOT moving. Wish could be removed, but techs tell me no.

[@jc7351]

At 7:03 there's actually a kid falling off of it in the background lol

[@CGVan420]

If you're talking about the kid on the left side of the picture, they are on a swing.

The point of Uber is drunk drivers which is the exact reason I would never drive for a service like that.

6:25Another one with no explanation offered. That's the old Hong Kong Kai Tak airport, very famous

Uber isn't the problem, it's the moral bankruptcy that most ppl are fine with today. smh

[@ge0arc244]

[@rustyhowe3907]

I gotta hunch that first one is gonna need some essential oils to reach a new level of consciousness when they 'connect' with those crystals.😨

[@catecurl3790]

Laughed a couple of times, this set is funny

[@willyreeves319]

the 1912 playground looked a lot like the playground i played on in the 1970's. it's only been the last 2-3 generations that think everything must be safe at all times for everyone or it cant exist

[@darkiee69]
