Yeah so funnily enough I just checked IG reels and saw one where about four people get shot. There was a “sensitive content” screen over it but that’s it. Postmodern complaint: I’m just glad it wasn’t someone getting sucked into an escalator, those are freaky.
You've piqued my curiosity: how does one even get sucked into an escalator? What's gotta happen to make that work???
It’s always at the bottom or top right where you’d step off and you just watch the person’s shoe suddenly disappear, and then they disappear. I believe it’s a shoelace or loose/flexible shoes that get pulled into the machinery and belts where the surface flattens out and goes back under the floor.
Interesting. I get that this is a pretty morbid line of thought, but I'd kinda just assumed that the amount of force required to crush a person like that would be more than enough to just… rip off a foot or the limb or whatever and still leave enough of a person left over to survive…? At least, assuming bystanders were quick enough to stop the bleeding. idk…
