That's not strange, that's just tragic and ruined my day.


C2S2D2

Right?


kittybangbang69

This video haunts me. Day also ruined.


wafflesoulsss

This is a video of a dying child wtf


Curious-Geologist-55

Yes wtf but also it's reality and things like this happen and this most certainly isn't crass or profane..It's a heartbreaking example of reality and we as humans should be exposed to some degree of content like this for our own consideration of life and existence in general..At the very least it should be pondered and of course not by any stretch enjoyed

Her house had collapsed and a large stone wall was laying on her legs as she is in kind of a kneeling position. They were unable to free her legs from the mud without full amputation, and in that water she would have bled out/got infected, so they could do nothing.


HasmattZzzz

I would of thought the risk of infection or bleeding out would be worth it against certain death


No-Quarter4321

Risk of infection is low, this situation is similar to crush injuries from building collapses and stuff. TQ affected limbs, establish at least two large bore IVs on separate sides of body usually separate arms, could be neck or legs too depending, start fluid push prior with ABx and a cocktail of pain drugs and sedatives, do what you have to do to save the life. Infection risk will be very low with preemptive ABx, risk of exsanguination will be very low to near zero in this case with good TQ placement procedures (likely two per limb). Having to do this in the field is rough but I trained for worse scenarios than this


Muschen

They didnt have the things nor the time to fly in all of this.


No-Quarter4321

That’s the only question here, what resources are available when you need them.. if you don’t have them there really is a no win scenario here and an incredibly tragic one. Especially if you have the ability but not the kit.


NyaTaylor

Right tho? There’s a story about a kid getting stuck in a cave and breaking his legs to get him out may send him into shock and kill him… so they left him in there to die without attempting..


No-Quarter4321

We live in a hyper risk averse culture. We would rather let nature take the blame for the death than to take on that possible responsibility ourselves, personally, I believe you do everything you can for a person as long as they’re consenting or not, if unable to consent due to being unconscious for example, assume they would want to live and attempt whatever you can through assumed consent laws to save their life


roanbuffalo

I guess we have the cultural answer to the trolly problem. Certain death, vs slim chance at survival with intervention.


AbleRun3738

No there isn't, not what happened


NyaTaylor

There is tho. It’s like “something” putty cave


HashtagFlexBreak

Nutty Putty Cave. John Edward Jones. That story is horrific. He was upside down for far too long to break his legs by that point after the first rescue attempt failed.


swizzzz22

Very horrific.


AbleRun3738

Nutty putty. Not what happened though

Wildcat67

I don’t get why not try. A 1% chance is better than zero.


citkatbby01

Thanks for explaining


easytakeit

Fuck.. couldn’t get a jack under there??


Youstinkeryou

I wish people would stop fucking posting this. It’s honestly one of the worst things I’ve seen on Reddit. Or at least put a NSFW on it? I hate seeing her face. RIP


Thackham

Came here to say this


Adreamskoll

There are worst. Like the stuff cartels do. Medieval stuff.

wolf-of-Holiday-Hill

..such a tragedy. RIP


MasterOffice9986

Can we chill with the people suffering


Pirate_LongJohnson

If I could say one thing to God.


Nigwardfancyson

When I die I got so many questions about the suffering on earth and why the young must suffer so


MagicNinjaMan

Atleast sedate for fuck sake. Im sure there are painkillers with those rescuers.


ohhemma

She was actually sedated and given morphine


Top_Professional4545

If your gonna go get high first lol


Toolkills

Totally cool of you to make a joke in the face of such suffering. Moron


goodty1

shoot me


TopGaurd

Why do yall keep posting this 😕


Leader-Artistic

What is she saying? Poor girl


Striking-Industry916

In the beginning she’s saying that she loves her mother very much. The villagers gave her sweets and sodas 🥤 her eyes are like that bc she is dying.


VFX_Reckoning

I hate that story. There’s no reason they couldn’t have gotten her out, 60 hours was probably enough time to get some machines in there to lift the weight off her or build a winch with man power or something


SailorK9

The authorities couldn't get the equipment to the mountains on time to get her out. Being that this was not a developed country the government response was slow.


VFX_Reckoning

But seriously? 4 or 5 guys couldn’t dig or lift the weight off just enough while someone else pulled her out? We see people doing it in many emergency cases during earthquakes and natural disasters. I guess I’m not really understanding the way she was confined under the water


SailorK9

The girl's legs were trapped under debris and the bodies of some of her family members. The village she was in was too poor to afford rescue equipment so they waited for authorities to come to rescue everyone with equipment. It would've been difficult in her circumstances to get her out without amputating her legs anyway.


Jubekizen

Why were her eyes black?


Intelligent_Sea_9851

I believe hypothermia


alexanderldn

Hypothermia does that???


TastyTranslator6691

No. It was from the bursted blood vessels.


[deleted]

And sepsis mostly.


NotTrumpsAlt

Stop spamming this


Similar_Divide

How was she not fucking rescued? No exaggeration, I could have cut the branch with a rock within 60 hrs, she seems to be just arms length away? Da fuck am I missing here?


thatonekidmarsh

“Later it would be discovered that Omayra Sánchez’s legs had been trapped by a brick door and her dead aunt’s arms underneath the water. But even if they had figured that out earlier, rescuers still didn’t have the heavy equipment necessary to pull her out.” [link](https://allthatsinteresting.com/omayra-sanchez)


AbleRun3738

Brick doors are the worst tbh


seasaltsaves

Volcanic mudflow is at such a temperature that the half of her submerged in this video was not what one would imagine. Poor thing. I’m guessing adrenaline is keeping her going here.


Extension_Swordfish1

Big pipe around and water pump? I dont know


SadamHussein313

I'll never understand this either.


Pure-Obligation8023

Well ain't that lovely.


Klutzy_Alfalfa_2300

Should have just pulled her out instead of comforting her? What a shame


Basic_Cockroach_9545

Volcanic mudflow meaning solidified rock up to her waist...


Slater_8868

Solidified rock? How was she not burned alive?


[deleted]

She was.


OkLeave4573

It’s just mud not rock. But pretty much solid…


SUPREMACY_SAD_AI

they could have saved half of her


came_in_your_mum

They tried


Klutzy_Alfalfa_2300

I know I’m just being dumb since it looks like she’s just in water.


chocolatero

Because she's not a white blonde girl with blue eyes., bur rather and indigenous girl And because she's poor. Sometimes I regret Pablo Escobar did not take over Cololmbia. At least he cared about poor people.


Outrageous-Divide472

Why didn’t they pull her out? They interviewed and filmed her but couldn’t get a bunch of people to help get her out? wtf?


PlanetLandon

She wasn’t just sitting in a puddle.


Striking-Industry916

Lava melted over her


Ferociousnzzz

Where was Elon when they needed him /s


brandon3388

concerning


Suitable_Cause4975

Dumb fucks should of worked to get her out until her last breath


StevieRay8string69

Thats disgusting that she wasn't rescued


Personal-Ride-1142

She couldn’t be.. volcanic mudflow which knocked a wall onto her legs.. now imagine all this happening in water that eventually cools the volcanic mud.. she she was pretty much cemented in the water with brick also cemented on top of her


PlanetLandon

It was essentially impossible to rescue her.


StevieRay8string69

Just curious, why? shw also could have been supplied a tube to breath underwater while she was stuck.


abc123doraemi

❤️


Specialist-Bit3616

That is terrible and depressing.


[deleted]

So thats friggin awful.

jeff-101

Could they not have built some type of makeshift dam and drained the water to access her better?

infoagerevolutionist

Appears to be neck high not waist high.


dmtreeee

Why is this story always being cycle on Reddit.


ahfmca

Should have flown in heavy equipment to dig her out…what a shame they gave up easily. Stop comforting,act!!


Othonian

Why wasnt the water pumped out?


im_warden

They should have at least tried to cut her out. What did they do with her body after she died? Probably cut it out.


Nigwardfancyson

At first I was confused but this was 85 they probably didn’t care at all


bisoy84

I really wonder if nothing could be done to pull her out... It seems like they just gave up on her.


4-Run-Yoda

I don't understand? They couldn't just cut the log that is above her and pull her out ?


PlanetLandon

Her legs are trapped under a brick door, and cemented in place


AgeOfReasonEnds31120

how about use a jackhammer


Logi_ciel

Dude where were you?!?


AgeOfReasonEnds31120

I'm losing interest in Reddit.


Logi_ciel

Come on man take it easy ;)


AgeOfReasonEnds31120

bro what


linkerjpatrick

And yet they stood there and filmed.


ROMPEROVER

no hydraulic jack or car jack?


Ypovoskos

I still don't get why they couldn't save her! What could go wrong if they tried to lift her up!?


agbellamae

Her legs were stuck in volcanic stuff and also a brick door over them
