The Building That Gave Residents Cancer

It’s 1980, you and your family are moving into a new apartment inside a recently built complex. You’re excited because it has an operating elevator and even running hot water. It’s so modern compared to all the other old, dilapidated buildings in the area. You get your keys and, over time, you settle into your new home with your family.

Little do you know, this building will soon take everything you hold dear away from you. This is the real-life horror story of the families who lived and died in Apartment 85.

Honestly it’s smart to own a Geiger counter for stuff like this. They really aren’t that expensive, considering they can see something lethal, that your eyes cannot.

[akumuryuu]

So, long story short, need to own a Geiger counter.

Was the company responsible for the quarry held accountable at all? All those people who suffered.... it's so sad. :(

[USArmyVet]

Unbelievable that something so small, could have such devastating impacts. On a happier note, the Aussies impressed by ensuring the same thing didn't happen to them. Scary stuff... great Narration, my friend. 👍👍

In México there is actually a story pretty similar to this, Cobalt 60 ended up used to make building material, and till today there is no idea where those materials are

This is my nightmare. I don’t live in a nice apartment. Whenever I go back home I can’t breathe and I always get sick. I can’t afford anything nicer. I’m so worried.

[haileybalmer]

Ah, Cobalt 60. A substance so dangerous that its casing is marked "Drop and Run."

Father: Please! We have evidence. Our children and the children before them all died of cancer in that room. Please investigate!

Government: Eh. Give us two years to decide…

Please do a video about a man who was saved by going out to buy some coffee because when that man came back home, his house was consumed by a landslide that buried his family in it. That happened in the Philippines recently.

I haven't been recommended your stuff in a while. I thought you stopped posting. Checking your channel, that's not the case, and I've got a lot to catch up on. Hype

Lived in a duplex during college.
Had very horrible strange illnesses occur ever other month to a few times some months.

Turns out, our neighbors had their place infested with black mold.

We found out when they won their case.
We checked the apartment out and the walls were soft....

Nowadays there are so many risks and issues with renting and even buying in some regards to older homes.

Funny story about the piece they lost in Western Australia. The worker who found it posted on reddit "Hey guys, found a shiny thing while metal detecting today" Along with a pic. lol

Something similiar heppened in brazil. Some people found cesium 137 and took it home cause it was glowing, everyone in the family got sick and the entire city put in quarentine. Very sad. Apparently it was from hospital machine that was thrown away irregularly

[Cman]

Australia managed to search miles and spent days to find that deadly material. But at the quarry, they couldn't be bothered to search 1 quarry with the proper equipment? It sounds like they just did a regular search, and didnt use detection eqiuptment.

I played the game which plot was based on this story, I found it on Steam and that's how I learned about this case in Kramatorsk. The game is super good but idk if it has English language, it's called "Bright lights of Svetlov"

[laudergy]

new fear unlocked: getting cancer from walls

[Reny]

Oh my God how sad is that, those poor families

Great video; not the first time I've heard of this event, but you did an excellent job with it. Also: Where's Quiz? Bring her back!

now I know to be careful when choosing an apartment building and never going in floors number 5 and 8 again
