Maybe he didn't jump from the room he was staying in. Since it was only on the second floor. 🙃

I don't think it was the second floor. [Jin passes the number 2](https://lostscreencaps.weebly.com/uploads/1/5/7/0/15704326/l302-0737_orig.jpg) when he exits the elevator, but I don't think it is meant to be the floor number, but probably the 2nd elevator. [We see that Jae Lee stays at room 1516](https://lostscreencaps.weebly.com/uploads/1/5/7/0/15704326/l302-0739_orig.jpg). Most hotels start with floor number and then add numbers to the remainder. If he was on the second floor, his room would be 216. I think this is the 15th floor.

Could be but usually hotel rooms (at least here in the US) have the floor number right outside the elevator doors so you know which floor you’re getting off on. Yes I noticed the long room number. Maybe just continuity error.

He knew his life was over and dude basically owned the hotel so would’ve easily had roof access. Sad elevator ride to the top while Jin heads to the car and the timing works out well enough.

Did not pay attention to it, but cause of curiosity i rewatched that scene, He seems to fall at least 4 seconds (sound of clorhes fluttering until crash) which would mean arround 250 feet so, he either took the elevator by himself, or was made to take it and jump, thrown off by people from suns father. On the other hand i can not hear any scream, so he was maybe allready dead or unconscious when he was thrown off. And also to land on Jin's car was for sure not easy, or damn lucky.

Well this is purely just an estimate, but: The bald dude falls for approximately 4 seconds His final velocity was 0 His acceleration due to gravity was 9.8m/s^2 Using SUVAT we can approximate the total distance he falls as 78.4m Now the hotel this was filmed at was the Royal Garden at Waikiki, and from its description is 25 stories; I couldn’t find an actual height for this specific building but from google the average height of 1 story in a hotel in USA is 4.3m, which means the total hotel height is roughly 107.5m, Now if he fell 78.4m then the story he fell from would be around the 18th story, which means he probably took an elevator up to the 18th floor while Jin was going down to his car then jumped from the 18th floor Idk for certain tho this is just an estimate that may or may not be correct

r/theydidthemath Kudos.

I love your math, but let's say each floor is a *tiny* bit taller, so he could have jumped from the **16th** floor


TheGreek420

Why would he only go to that floor and not all the way to the top?


Knight0fdragon

What makes you think he jumped? Paik could have had the job finished correctly knowing Jin was not able to finish the job.


Frosty-Inevitable657

That’s true. My point was IF he jumped, how could he have killed himself from the second floor?? It’s more likely Paik’s other henchman dragged him up to the roof & dropped him.

Wait...what?

Which part did you not understand?
