Well, let's get into today's stories in 2019. Robert Nishimoto was a 71-year-old retired sociology professor from the University of Southern California. After his retirement, he had moved home. Hawaii to spend his final years with friends and family On Saturday, November 2 of that year, Robert suddenly felt motivated to go out to his backyard and finally do a big cleanup, his lawn was fine, he took care of it, but the The back

part

of his property was completely covered in bushes and bushes and the trees were totally long and hadn't been pruned in some time, so he figured he would just go back there and cut down a bunch of them, so that morning he gathered all his tools. to work in the garden. and he

went

to the back of his property and got to work and all day long his neighbor saw him making slow progress as he made his way to the back of his property and that night it looked like it was almost done two days later, the Monday, Robert's friends were at their favorite restaurant in town waiting for Robert to show up for lunch.

This was something they did all the time, but Robert was late, so one of them texted Robert to ask where he was, but he wasn't. He didn't get a response after waiting almost an hour and a half, and his friends became concerned because Robert wasn't the type of person to simply ignore a lunch meeting and not tell anyone where he was. It was much more likely that he was the guy who arrived early and then harassed the others about where they were, so the friends decided that they would stop by Robert's property to make sure everything was okay, but when they reached a street they saw the end of the road in front of Robert's house. where fire trucks and police cars and tons of commotion would turn out that no one had seen or heard from Robert since two days before, when he was in his backyard doing that yard work and when his family had tried to contact him. contact with them throughout the weekend.

They hadn't been able to do it and finally, this Monday, just as the lunch friends were arriving at Robert's property, Robert's own family had called the police to do a welfare check on Robert and what they discovered was horrifying: a police officer had gone up to Robert knocked on the front door and there was no answer, the door was locked so the officer went to the back of the house and knocked on the back door again, there was no answer but the back door was open, so the officer opened it and yelled. For Robert there was no answer, the officer came in to just take a look around and make sure Robert was okay and he went room by room and there was nothing there.

He is screaming for Robert. There's no sign of him. There are no signs of shock. or something like that, he turns around and walks out the back door into the yard and looks towards the back of the property and sees that there are some gardening tools that are lying on the ground and next to it there seems to be some kind There was a crack in the ground and that intrigued the officer so he started walking across the yard towards these garden work tools and this crack and as he got closer and closer to this crack he saw that there was a small hole in the ground.

The officer reached the edge of this strange crack in the ground and looked into this small hole and then suddenly the ground collapsed in on itself, revealing a two foot wide hole where the small hole. It had been the officer who jumped back to avoid falling and after a few moments he got up and walked very cautiously to the edge of this hole and tried to shine his light on it, but he couldn't see the bottom. It was obviously a very deep hole, so he moved forward carefully testing each step to make sure the ground did not erode under his foot and finally he arrived right at the edge where he could shine his light all the way to the bottom. feet below and there at the bottom was Robert's body in cities

people

are afraid of falling into sewers in

part

s of Hawaii people are afraid of falling into lava tubes these tubes are formed during volcanic eruption when lava flow flows downstream begins to cool and the exposed section of lava begins to harden and creates this sort of shell around the lava flow traveling beneath it and that lava will continue to flow for months until it drains completely and leaves this layer behind. hollowed out that forms this huge underground tube called a lava tube, and over time, nature simply reclaims the outside and inside of these lava tubes, giving the impression, from above, looking down, that it is just normal earth with trees and plants growing above it, but actually below it is this huge hollow underground tunnel.

Robert fell through what is called a skylight, which is a small hole in the top of one of these lava tubes because Hawaii is known for having lava tubes all over the island. Residents should keep an eye out for skylights when walking around the island, but fortunately, in high traffic areas they are very easy to spot and no one is afraid of falling into them, but if you stray off the island's usual paths into areas that are not particularly busy, like the back of Robert's property, which is very overgrown, you could come across an undiscovered skylight and experts say those skylights are difficult to identify because many times in these areas that are completely Overgrown and off the beaten path, grass and weeds have grown over the hole, so you don't necessarily see it, it would look like solid ground when in reality it is a death trap.

Freediving is one of the most dangerous sports in the world, although technically almost anyone who has swum before has also freedived because all freediving is diving underwater. without the use of a breathing apparatus like a scuba tank, but when people talk about free diving they are not referring to the kids at the local swim club, but to those crazy people who jump into the middle of the ocean to take huge gulps of air and then diving to incredible depths and staying there for several minutes before returning to the surface and within this already extreme sport there is an even more extreme version called no limits instead of the diver taking that big breath of air. on the surface and then turn around and slim down to depth or pull yourself down with a weighted robe in unlimited free diving, divers can use whatever they want to go as deep as they can again, the only rule is you can't using a breathing apparatus, the most common technique without limits is to grab this sled that is connected to this vertical cable with weight at the bottom and the free diver holds on to that sled, is released from the surface and the sled shoots up towards to be. their desired depth is and the diver just holds on and then once they reach the bottom the diver flips a switch that shoots air into this big balloon that is attached to the sled and once the balloon is full enough he will pull the sled and diver.

Whoever is hanging from it, raises the cable back to the surface normally, a no-holds-barred freediving using this technique takes approximately three minutes from start to finish. The reason no limits is considered a more extreme version of freediving is because it allows divers to go to these extraordinary depths that they are not physically able to reach on their own, we are talking over 100 meters below. from the surface, there's just no way a person could just kick themselves up there, you'd need the sled and then conversely you'd need to. You won't be able to swim 100 meters to the surface before drowning, you'd have to use that balloon, so There are no limits to freediving when you go down to these crazy depths, if your equipment fails it is usually fatal October 12, 2002, age 28. old audrey mestry was sitting on a floating platform off the coast of the dominican republic the native french free diver was mentally preparing herself for what she was about to do audrey was one of the best free divers in the world and this day she did it was trying to become the best free diver in the world by breaking the world record for the deepest depth achieved by an unlimited free diver, which was 170 meters and that record was actually held by her husband Pippin Ferraris, but while she was sitting in that platform, doubt must have crept into your mind because the storm clouds began to appear and in the world of limitless freediving where so many things can go wrong there is no reason to add another risk factor like bad weather, it could affect the people on the surface who are trying. to hold you up, it could affect the line you are using to go down to depth, it is simply an unnecessary risk.

Also, Audrey was using new equipment, she had a slightly thinner cable that would take her to the bottom. Her sled was attached, but she didn't know if it would work for such a deep dive and her husband, who was in charge of safety for this dive, had been criticized in the diving community for rushing this record attempt. she had not succeeded. Enough preparations were made, there were not enough medical staff, there were not enough reserve divers who were going to be on site or on shore at the time of this dive and Audrey was aware of this criticism because her husband was regularly criticized on the program without limits. freediving world because six years earlier, two different staff had died during different diving accidents and people accused pippin of being very reckless, but despite all these red flags and reasons not to do this dive on this day, Audrey was very confident and wanted.

To do this, she signaled to her team that she was ready to go, zipped up her yellow wetsuit and then checked her sensors and video cameras that she would use for the dive and then put on her fins while her husband checked the balloon that was there to inflate it and bring it back to the surface and because this piece of equipment was so crucial, Pippin insisted that he was the only one who could touch it even though normal procedure was for at least two other people to They will inspect the balloon before. the dive without limits, but anyway, after pippin inspected the balloon bag and determined that it was ready, he signaled to audrey to tell her that it was time to start, she slid off the platform and waited until she arrived The 200-pound sled that was going to take her the equivalent of two football fields below the surface just before Audrey gave the final go-ahead to release the sled and begin this dive.

She did a procedure known as packing in which freedivers basically take a deep breath and then swallow. they took in additional amounts of oxygen to fill their lungs and then when Audrey was done with this process and was ready to go, she gave that final signal, they let go of the sled and it began to plunge towards the bottom of the ocean if everything went according to plan. she would return to the surface in three minutes. Audrey's descent was going perfectly until she reached the 164 meter mark now due to bad surface weather and all the turbulent water.

That new light cable she had was too light and that's why the waves. caused it to sway and go down to 164 meters, that sway caused kinks in the line itself and as the sled was going down it caught one of those kinks and stopped at the 164 meter mark, so Audrey just had to sit there for 30 seconds until that problem was finally resolved and he was able to continue descending past the record mark of 170 meters, now that a 30 second delay might not have mattered if everything else in the dive had gone perfectly, but unfortunately it didn't. Once Audrey set the record by reaching 171 meters, her sled stopped and now it was time to return to the surface.

In the video you can see that Audrey begins to follow the same procedure as always, she reaches out and turns the valve that is supposed to inflate the balloon. I bring it back to the surface, but after turning the switch nothing happens, the balloon doesn't inflate for a second. You can see a hint of panic in her body language, as she is almost out of breath. She already had that 30 second delay at the time. She's starting and she's pressing against that three minute mark and she needs to get to the surface right now, but she stays calm, walks over and flips the switch again to see if maybe she hadn't turned it all the way down. first time. but she again nothing happens at this point, a reserve diverHe noticed that the sled wasn't moving when it should have, so he rushed over and stuck one of his extra hoses with extra air into the balloon and tried to inflate it himself, but there was nothing.

There was not enough air coming out of this tank to fully inflate it, so the sled began to move painfully slowly upward in the water column. Now you would think that this reserve diver who had all kinds of extra air would just give the mouthpiece to Audrey. let her breathe and forget about the world record attempt, let's save her life, but unfortunately Audrey and the reserve diver knew that because she was so deep, the pressure was so immense in her lungs that it actually contracted them to the size of oranges that Si If she took even a small breath of air in the depths, that air would expand so dramatically on the way up that it would kill her, so all Audrey could do was hold on to the sled and ascend very slowly and try to hold her breath as she could. she could, but she knew at some point she was going to drown and the video shows her absolutely stoic just riding that sled knowing that was about to happen on the surface when the three minute mark came and went and Audrey didn't come out.

When he came down to her and pulled her out of the water, she had been under the water without air for 8 minutes and 40 seconds when they put her on the boat. pulse but there was no doctor available to treat her immediately. and pippin had kept her underwater for a couple of extra minutes trying to resuscitate her underwater. Audrey was eventually rushed to a hospital where she was later pronounced dead. The cause of her death was drowning. Some believe that Pippin's husband had intentionally sabotaged her dive to kill her. But the official investigation determined that his death was accidental in 1993, after an exhaustive review of hundreds of sites in the United States, executives of the German automobile company Mercedes-Benz finally reached the decision that Tuscaloosa Alabama would become the site of the first passenger car. assembly factory outside germany this was a historic day not only for mercedes but also for alabama at that time the state had one of the highest unemployment rates in the country and so alabama residents were hopeful that this factory would create hundreds of new jobs, but what really happened shattered their expectations immediately after this announcement by Mercedes that they were going to set up shop in Tuscaloosa, three other major auto giants, Toyota, Honda and Hyundai, announced that they too would set up shop in Alabama, so these four major factories came. with their own jobs and each of these factories attracted dozens of other smaller factories that supplied the parts to put together these cars, so all of these smaller factories came with additional jobs, so this decision by Mercedes not only created Hundreds of new jobs in Alabama created tens of thousands of new jobs across the state Two years later, in 1995, a girl named Regina Elsie was born just an hour from the Mercedes factory in Tuscaloosa, growing up in the automotive manufacturing industry.

Cars were a big part of her life, her family worked in factories and as a child, every day when she went out she would see dozens of these 18 wheelers bombing the road in front of her house carrying car parts on their way to one of the many factories that Regina was in. a reserved and quiet girl, she loved to read, she was a good student and loved animals, she accepted stray animals, any animal she found she took to her house, but her favorite animal was her dog, at which she called a cow. He dreamed of being a pediatrician, and after high school, he enrolled at a local community college on a federal grant with plans to eventually transfer to Auburn University, where he would finish his degree and then hopefully go to medical school.

But while she was at community college she fell in love with a local boy named Dan who she had actually gone to kindergarten with and before long the two were engaged to be married the young couple wanted to move in together but they didn't have enough money Regina was a student full time, so she had no income and Dan was barely making minimum wage working as a shelf stalker at Walmart. The only way she would get her own place would be if Regina dropped out of school and got a job too. This was a difficult decision for Regina because she still wanted to be a pediatrician but at the same time she was very excited about her future with Dan and she thought, "You know, I'm only 20, I can always come back and get my education later." ".

She later became a doctor, so in January 2016 she dropped out of her classes and went out to look for work, a month later she got a job as an assembly line worker at an auto parts supplier factory where she currently works. His stepfather and one of his sisters worked. Her name was a USA agent and they supplied spare parts to Hyundai and Kia. Regina's mother told her that it was not a good place to work. She had worked in two other factories supplying parts for similar cars and that the pace and pressure were unbearable. Known for being under intense pressure to meet their quotas every day, failing to do so, even by a small margin, can result in massive fines imposed by their customers such as in this case Hyundai and Kia.

This immense pressure on these suppliers often leads them to overwork their employees like Regina and the employees develop a kind of production at all costs mentality because they see that their employer only cares about meeting their daily quota and therefore, employees will take shortcuts and circumvent safety regulations to ensure they stay in their quota, but after Regina's mother. He approached her and told her all these horrible things about the auto parts supply factories. Regina said she had bills to pay. She had already moved to a house in southeast Alabama, near the Asian factory. She lived there with her fiancé Dan and her beloved dog. cow, she had bought a new car that she was very proud of and she had found the perfect wedding dress that fit her perfectly, but it cost four thousand dollars, so Regina was not willing to leave this job, she needed the money when she started as agent, she was put on temporary status, which meant she only made 8.75 cents an hour.

In order to make more money, she would need the company to move her to full-time status, which meant a salary of 1.75 per hour. hour. Race determined to prove to the company that she was worthy of being moved to that full-time status, Regina volunteered for 12-hour shifts seven days a week, but in June of that year, after six months of this hellish work schedule, Regina got over it and left. When he got to his parents' house he lay down on the couch and told them that he couldn't do it anymore and that he was actually going to start looking for another job, preferably something he could do part-time so he could go back to school and continue. . continue her career as a pediatrician and her family was relieved and excited to see her return to normal a few days later, on June 18, Regina, who was still working at Aegen, was working the day shift at the factory, her job that day was to supervise a robot that would weld these metal pillars to the front right and front left of the car, where the side mirrors would attach.

This robot looked like a giant arm sticking out of the ground, at the end of the arm where the hand was located there would be two soldering tips sticking out about four inches each. The robot was surrounded by a huge wire fence that was there specifically to prevent employees from getting too close to it while it was in operation. Regina would monitor this robot through a computer screen outside that cage sometime in the afternoon, while Regina is monitoring her computer, it appears on the screen that there is a bolt failure on robot 23. Now her robot was not Robot 23 was the robot adjacent to her station, but the person in charge of supervising Robot 23 was part of her team and her team had a daily quota to meet, so having Robot 23 down directly affected Regina, so Gina walked away from her computer and walked outside of Robot 23.

She talked to the team member and they decided it was best to just call maintenance and ask them to come and try to fix the problem. A security camera inside the factory was pointed at Regina and her co-workers as they stood outside the metal. cage around robot 23 waiting for maintenance, but after quite some time the maintenance still had not appeared and it was obvious that the team was getting very anxious, they knew that every second that the robot was not operational they were hurting their chances of reaching their quota, which the company would be very upset because they would get a big fine and at some point Regina just says, "Screw it, I'm going to fix the fault myself," then takes a small tool that looks like a screwdriver and opens it. he lifts the cage onto robot 23 and she enters and walks towards the robot stem when she reaches it, she has her back to the robot arm behind her and starts doing something with her tool on the robot stem. and whatever she does, it works because the robotic arm behind her comes to life and immediately returns to the action it had been trying to perform before it failed and that action involved turning backwards in Regina's direction and when she made those two welds of 4 inches.

The spikes on the end of the robotic arm were stabbed directly into Regina's back, impaling her. Her co-workers saw what happened and hit the emergency shut-off switch, but she didn't turn off the robot until he pushed Regina through the cage and pinned her down. she was up against the wall and so, with this robot now turned off, the soldering tips now running all over her upper back and pressed against the wall, she was literally pinned to the wall like she was nailing a piece of paper with two tacks. She hunched over a cork board but her eyes were wide open, she was conscious but made no sound.

No one knew how to free Regina from the robot's grip, so the team leader jumped onto a forklift and sped across the factory floor toward the landing. he ran in found a maintenance worker and dragged him outside they got on the forklift the maintenance worker had to sit on the team leader's lap and they sped back through the factory towards the robot cage 23 when they got there they took this maintenance guy and basically pushed him into the cage and told him to get Regina out, but the maintenance worker didn't speak any English, he was terrified by what he was seeing, seeing Regina as she was, he really didn't know how fix the situation.

Tempers were burning and before long the maintenance worker simply became overwhelmed and ran away when emergency crews finally arrived. Several minutes later, Regina was still pinned down by this robot. She was aware that she had her eyes wide open and she was still totally silent and they were able to get out of it. She was sent to a hospital and then transported to a trauma center, but it was too late. The damage that had been done to her by being impaled by this robot was too extensive and she died in the hospital. Regina's company agent had not adequately trained her or any of her co-workers.

The agent's policy was to hire people and get them on the floor as quickly as possible to help them reach their quota, and as a result, Regina and her team members had no idea about a lockout procedure where, if you're going in In one of these robot cages, you need to make sure the power switch is locked, meaning it won't turn back on if you fix the fault that has caused your robot to stop. All Regina and her coworkers knew is that the most important thing is to reach your quota at the end of the day and that was the reason Regina went into the cage and that was the reason Regina was killed.

The agent eventually pleaded guilty that his failure to properly train Regina led to her death and they paid the family $1.5 million so that will do it guys if you found the secret in today's episode let us know in the comments what it is and where you found it, so give us the time. seal and if you are the first to do so, we will pin you at the top of the comments section.
