A Chinese boy, 8, left a high-rise worker dangling midair after cutting his safety cord because he could not hear his cartoons..
The panicked worked yelled down to a co-worker, who called firemen. He was rescued about 40 minutes later.
Xinhua quoted the worker, surnamed Liu, as saying:
“When I was using the electric drill, I felt my lower rope shaking. Then I saw the boy cutting the rope with a knife.”
“I shouted at him to stop but he didn’t listen and soon after, the rope was broken. That’s when I called to my workmate for help,’ Liu said.”
Shanghaiist says that after speaking with police, “the boy finally admitted to what he did”:
“His father, surnamed Tang, was called to come back home from work. He gave Liu a sincere apology on behalf of his son and compensated him with … a new safety rope.”
Annoyed at the construction racket outside his window, the boy decided to cut the safety line on the man’s rappelling apparatus.

May this poor soul Rest in Peace.
18 years old??
Heck, most adults would not be able to handle driving a Lamborghini, much less an 18 year old who most likel recently received a driving license, who decided to put the pedal to the metal on a public road, all of which contributed to this very dangerous coctail.
What a waste.....
My Condolences to the Family and to the owner of the car who most be experiencing a lot of guilt.
On another note, I'm not sure if the owner received special training to be able to drive the Lamborghini, but if he did he should have known better than to let another drive his vehicle without like training.
