Mike's story is so tragic esp bc he was doing the right thing. He wasn't out there for a dare or some reckless stunt, or going to a place with ten foot fence, covered in warrnings. He was trying to help his elderly boss remove debris and unclog the drain. again, it's a right thing to do, for a 28 year old, healthy and ablebodied man, to help a 76 year old man with a task that requires strength and moving heavy things.

[agirlnamedgoo-]

I can't believe they told Mike's father to go home instead of to just stay back and support him quietly. How tragic that he wasn't there with him when he died 🥺

[LuxeMindsetVibes]

Good job on the shop owner to call the authorities before rushing out to save Mike. A lot of the time, people rush into action before thinking to call for help.

RIP to the first lady. Dying alone and no one even noticing is pretty sad.
I'm not a psychologist, but it struck me as more sad that since she didnt hurt anyone when she would chase people in the hall, people just ignored it. It almost seems like she did it for "attention" or "help" yet to no avail.
May you have eternal peace.

[silverbullet]

Only Mr Ballen can go from a very sad morbid story to the manic sponsored ramblings of a mad man. Truly iconic

[SNP-]

Mike's tragic death was really heart breaking and how terrible it must have been for his father watching it actually happen on live television. My heart goes out to them both and may Mike rest in peace. ❤

[voiceofreason]

FYI The Korean fisherman allegedly named Oh Jong-geun did give a motive for the murders. It was sexual assault of the women. Oh refused to take the blame. He blamed the victims and 'the system'. 85 year old Oh is still alive and complains that his family has never visited him during his 17 year incarceration. Sadly his eldest child took their own life due to the shame.

[NikoZguri]

i actually cried listening to Mike's story. no one should ever go through something as horrific as that. RIP Mike 😢

[jefftheturtle]

R.I.P Mike, I can’t even begin to imagine the pain he went through. Your story telling is amazing man!

[rickoddon]

Mike's story is probably one of the saddest stories I've ever heard 🙏🏻

[carsonmcbride]

Mikes story hit me like a ton of bricks. My closest cousin passed the same way when I was 14. He was swimming in a canal when his leg was sucked into a drainage gate and he got stuck. He was under for over 30 minutes, and it took 6 fireman to finally get him out. And please, before anyone comments about his stupidity in swimming in a canal, yes I know. But he was a kid, we didn't understand. Not like that

[isisross]

Something that's a little annoying about the legal systems in various countries is that they don't take missing reports very seriously if the potential victims are adults until it's usually too late.

I understand that there's an issue of wasting manpower and also that two adults not answering their phone while on a vacation isn't weird by any means, but if both sets of parents are coming to you saying that it's unlike their children to not check-in or return calls, I'd want you as the authority to take this more seriously. Parents usually know their children quite well, and there's nothing to be lost in just checking.

Best case scenario: you find them, the parents overreacted. That's GREAT!

Worst scenario: There's something wrong, like the parents thought, and heaven forbid the worst happened bc people were to slow to act.

[SmellyMellyization]

Mike's story is one of the most tragic and sad stories I have ever heard. I feel horrible for his father and other loved ones.

[Aetriex]

I knew immediately how Mike was going to die as soon as I heard drainage system and flooding. Delta P is no joke, one of my greatest fears, I'm so sorry that you went through this Mike, rest in peace


EDIT: why the fuck did they not get every sump pump available and start pumping the street, and getting sandbags to redirect the water

[merelymari]

Woo's story made me feel abnormally sad. She was just a woman who no one knew, and no one thought to look for when she went quiet. Idk man, hits me hard

[villain]

Ironic how in the first story she made all kinds of noises talking to herself, but was absolutely silent when it could've saved her life.

[lea-anne]

Poor Mike & how traumatising for his dad to witness such a tragedy🥺

[williamwallaceoftheus]

I feel so sorry for Mikes father. No parent should have to bury their child.

[jman]

All these stories are so sad especially the last one. I feel so bad for Mike's dad not only did he already lose his wife and than had to watch his only son die on live TV without getting to speak to him one last time. I hope he'll be ok.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[dearlylovedbyhim]

Mike’s story absolutely devastated me. RIP Mike
