I totally agree. That's not what that magnificent animal was put here for.

Omg yourre so right! do you see the carriage, and how heavy it must be? plus 3 people on the top? after being beated when he was a baby to make him "soft"? i can understand the elephant behavior,a chance this clowns aren t dead..

💯 ​@@loridoolaghty3453

​@@Tina-ik6dqtourists, ugh.

Same, what do they think? That the elefant is happy with that?

Yes. Beautiful, intelligent, empathetic creatures who should be admired and respected... At a distance.

Plus they had rich friends who helped bring them home, so...

I feel sorry for the Elephant itis not the Elephants fault really. They should not do this job.

I feel worse for the elephant

Money Shouldn’t Make It Okay To Enslave Any Souls On Earth Or Anywhere For That Matter. I’m Completely Disgusted With Some Humans Right Now. I Try To Keep My Head Up And Spread Love, But Its Getting Harder To Accept Ignorance For An Excuse.

I feel the exact same way. They lived in a total diff apt. Maybe if they walked in on them or were naked...🙄

I was thinking the same thing

People gonna hate, hate, hate. Because you can't relate, late, late, late. It's called Jealousy, jealousy.....LMAO!

Me too, I actually rolled my eyes. Yes, I would be kinda upset and disturbed by the situation, but it wouldn’t even make the top 10 of my “most traumatic moments”.

I said the EXACT same thing to my friend!!

Yeah, Aliiiiiittle over exaggeration saying that. lol I agree.

@@RockStarNdia101I mean, imagine staying in a place for that long not knowing there were people living under you🤣they could’ve done anything, everybody has different responses to experiences.

Having downstairs neighbours is the most traumatic experience... I wounder what they have been up to in that place, for them to be soo traumatised that someone was near..

@@VILE-wz8uf imagine living in a condo. (the basement renters don't have the keys to the house above)

@@douglei4413 you’re acting like they still can’t just break in? also, what do you mean by imagine living in a condo?

Ok

Some of those elephants r treated like slaves. Kinda like in the circus.😢

Exactly!!! Don’t ever ride an elephant! Poor elephant

Yes!! They beat them to make them take people for rides. They also steal them from their mothers when they’re small🤬🤬🤬

Except for horses

He was so sweet to do so. He wanted her to think about something else than her injury!

What a beautiful perso to do that for her.

I'm sure they never will again. A shattered pelvis is a big price to pay for ignorance.

The criteria for an active volcano is essentially just that it's erupted once or more since the last ice age. That could mean a volcano that erupted yesterday or one that hasn't erupted in nearly ten thousand years. Nature is as nature is, so everyone should always adhere to safety regulations and proceed with caution, but with an active lifespan that can see dozens of civilizations rise and fall between eruptions, combined with the warning signs we can and often do catch (and can even prepare for when we know a volcano's history), it's not as dangerous as you might think. I'd still consider it more risky than relaxing, but I can also 100% see this couple just seeing it as signing up for a guide-led group hike on a secured trail in a well-traversed area. Less accident prone, even, than just hiking off by themselves in some random woods... Though the accident for this trail is, of course, an *eruption.* That legal case will probably depend most on how many warning signs were ignored by the company organizing the hikes

It's an active volcano which is constantly steaming and had seen a rise in activity in the previous couple of months. The tour companies should never have been allowed on the island at that time. I grew up in the town directly onshore from White Island and when I was a child no one went there. However, the rise of "adventure tourism" in the 80's and 90's meant that tourists asked for and were given more and more "experiences" and sadly they don't always go as planned. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail and this kind of thing will stop.

@@catherinehata2499 "The tour companies should never have been allowed on the island at that time" *ABSOLUTELY!* Tour companies should have their customer's safety as their #1 concern at all times, but that expectation rarely matches reality. Unfortunately, companies usually look at profit first and safety last...or safety never. That said, anyone going to an active volcano, even an active volcano which has just been spitting steam and smoke for months, should realize that thing could pop at any moment. The fact there was a marked increase in activity should have been the glaring sign not to go, but many people simply expect the tour company to protect them and blithely go on with the adventure.

Also, the boat crews were WARNED of the impending danger!!! They were told not to go!!

That's awful. I'm sorry you and your family had to go through that, especially your husband. I was married to a twin for 26 yrs, I understand how much greater that bond is compared to other siblings.

Young & drunk. Need I say more?

Like the girl trying to get home from Vancouver. She needs to start researching weather conditions prior to planning trips. She chose to go snowboarding days before Christmas in the middle of a Canadian winter and then complained that the snow was inconvenient.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. The lack of common sense, courtesy, accountability, the entitlement etc. Peoples behavior in general has changed in a big way over a relatively short period of time.

Thank you!!! Thank you thank you amen!!!! Who does these things!!! Common sense is no longer common!!!!

I gotta agree with you there. While I've never found someone living in my basement, I did find someone living in the broken down barn on the back corner of my property a few years ago. Once I found him, he seemed like a good guy who was just down on his luck, so I worked out with him to take care of the lawn (about 2 acres) in exchange for rent. He counteroffered with, "well, if I'm gonna be doing that, the least you can do is give me power out here". I decided, if he was going to actually take care of our property, I could at least provide him with a livable environment, so we upgraded the barn to turn it into an apartment with a kitchen, bathroom, and garage. He's been there for almost 3 years now and our yard has never looked better!

​@@watchyourtimeco1 hello there! That's great that you were able to work something out with him, helping him out, and you as well! Very positive story, and nice to hear in a time where it seems so negative a lot of times...thank you for sharing! Hope ya have a great holiday season! Prayers also you, that you all stay healthy!! ;) your new neighbor too! :)

If I’m paying to stay at a place, they better disclose to me that there’s somebody else living downstairs!

@@eleanormassaro5195 I agree 100%. There's no situation where the owner of the property is justified in not revealing people living in another portion of the same building. But I also have to point out that, in the grand scheme of things, is this is the most traumatic part of the poster's life, they're considerably more fortuitous than the rest of the population.

you know, it is pretty traumatic. Maybe not "traumatic", but goddamn dangerous as hell. I'd be horrified. But then again, I'd never rent a place that someone ELSE has a key to.

100%!!! She looks like a “whooo girl” too with that hair and those selfies so I’m not surprised tbh

Mini pigs aren't a thing. There's just pigs and baby pigs

Nothing "mini" about them

I would have played music and passed the hat, ask for a free lunch, lol..

They're two different situations experienced by completely different people. I'm glad for her if that's the height of her worst experiences, and still sorry that she had to deal with it. It's not a competition.

Exactly what I was thinking 😂

@@bamflr it’s not a competition but, the couple riding the elephant could have been killed, if things took a turn for the worse.

@@user-wd3po8sd7k Yes. And?

Traumatic for HER? Imagine being the long term tenants!! Those poor people!!

She ticked me off. "Who cares if the animal becomes dependent on humans for food and eventually dies, I can't miss recording this for my IG"

The law is to protect tenants from slumlords taking your money and then throwing you out of your apartment without a warning or legit reason. The problem is how easily someone can fake proof of residency.

The announcer went on to say that the basement tenants were legal tanants and had the right to be there.

They werent squatters at all. They were legal tenants who paid rent. Direct your anger at the homeowner who didnt reveal he had people living in the basement. He was the greedy one and the girl renting the Airbnb was ridiculous.

I think she talking about the the ten people that moved in later in this video

The poor elephant 😢

I hear, in all honesty I hate traveling anymore because there’s way too much craziness going on around the world. Years ago when we could afford vacations and when my son was younger, we used to always take a 2 week long vacation, we went so many places and really enjoyed it. However anymore everything is way too expensive and it’s nothing more than a hassle, so from now on we decided to just vacation locally, here and there taking beach trips and going to the mountains/Poconos, plus where we live is literally like being on a vacation spot because we have a huge pool, nice play area, tennis courts, a fitness center as well a nice size game/lounge room, we also have barbecue areas with grills and fire pits. Although it is indeed nice to travel and visit different places, it’s also nice to not spend lots of money that you don’t have nor having to deal with too much of the public and it’s craziness. 😅 As I’m getting older I’m starting to really appreciate being a homebody, and just spending quality time with my family, because I don’t need any luxuries of taking elegant vacations or superficial things to make me happy!! Don’t get me wrong, it is nice to visit some places and do certain things, but I know that I can do that close to home and still enjoy myself!! 😊

That should’ve been disclosed in the rental agreement or something when you’re going to pay rent the place

@@eleanormassaro5195 It's an AirBnB... none of their business if someone lives downstairs especially when they have their own entrance!

@@AnneOhn123 I would want to know that because then I would not stay there

​@@eleanormassaro5195you've never been in an apartment, duplex or condo?

In the video she said the tenants were pulling the doorknob trying to get in the house. I would freak out to. Also I would never stay in a house rented to other people. Those strangers could do anything!

It totally would if it was unplugged and wet.

It probably didn't have cockroaches in it 10 days before either .

The squatters bought the filthy fridge with them and left it behind.

​@@ToeKnife166I'd sure hope so!!!

Be cared for not worshipped. They definitely shouldn’t be used for our amusement

It was probably an adult male. They tend to go off when it's time for a female.

Worshipped??!

@@Livin4Jesus00 Calm down Karen.

I agree. No sympathy

How will she ever survive such a terrible world 😂

wow. you're gong to compare someone thinking it was a break-in to messing up her nails? the belittling and lack of empathy is unbelievable. she didn't know it was a legal tenant; that person was jiggling the door, trying to get in. it's easy for you to make jokes and judge AFTER you got all the facts.

There's no talking to drunk people. I'm glad I wasn't there during my drinking days.

Ikr, traveling is so overrated, bad for everyone & the environment..

Amen to that, if I wasn't Born with WINGS guess what I'm not flying on no damn para sail!!! And if I wasn't Born with gills I'm not going in the damn ocean!!! Unless it's a pool in my backyard no thank you!!! Now let's see what they all plan for next year's vacation!!! Haha haha

Ganged up on the airline employees... ya... that's grown up!

I can't stand it when people talk that way ... it makes them sound like a 3 year old .

Except for LOVE & RESPECT. Elephants could be used as slaves for $.😢

+7 extra hours on the plane 😰 I would ve been traumatized forever

So they were trying to land safely so as not to crash and the passengers were upset with that? What a bunch of weiners...

and to never fly delta... delta legit took peoples money knowing they where packed then took people off the plane who where there first

They would have had to call the police if I was on that plane. I wonder if any of the passengers thought of that. I wouldn’t have felt safe taking off again! Yikes!👀

@@joelblackmanreviews8472 I already don't fly delta. They broke my laptop after they grabbed my carry on from me to put it underneath bc there was no more room left overhead and never gave me anything. I was a single mom & college student and my laptop was less than a year old.

Lol

Having your sense of safety compromised or violated CAN be very traumatic. I have experienced a wide range of things in my life, from a parent’s death as a kid, to having my stuff stolen. I was so upset when someone broke into my car that I took it back to the dealership.

The alarms never work in the elevators and they don't care if you have to wait until Monday for a crew. I was on a flight from Tahiti to Auckland when the plane started a descent in the South Pacific. They made an unannounced stop to pick up rugby teams from Tonga, but made me us deplane while they loaded the teams. The teams were fighting, so we had to turn around on the tarmac to get a league manger to come aboard and babysit them for the rest of the flight. They never said anything to anyone about the stop, the new arrivals, turning around etc.

@@miaknig3130 is too once they have your money ….. your at their mercy

🌊⛈❄️Absolutely NOT!!! Who would subject themselves to that? Not to mention flu/Covid season…I hunker down from Halloween to New Year’s 😂😂😂

What do you mean no sympathy? The people who were injured deserve sympathy! No sympathy for the ride controller however, he is completely liable and shouldn't be using the elephant like that.

If everyone refuses to pay, animals can't be exploited like that. @@GMFUUGIRLGMFU

@@GMFUUGIRLGMFU Tourists know what they're getting themselves into when choosing to ride elephants. So they're equally liable. Simple answer is, tourists shouldn't ride elephants so the industry dies out.

​@@GMFUUGIRLGMFUIf tourists didn't want elephant rides, there wouldn't be a market for it. It's just as much their fault for wanting to go on the poor elephant in the first place.

They'd much rather fly with ice on the wings and then crash, burn and die!!! I mean unbelievable no common Sense anymore!!! The stupidity is beyond comprehension!!!

That could have ended very badly….but I can’t wait to try. Also, if it doesn’t *look* safe on the water to *you*, that is all the reason you need not to go. My poor friend died in Hawaii while jetskiing. He hit his head, and then drowned. R.I.P., friend. His gf always said she didn’t want him to go. Worst wedding experience ever. 😢 Be safe out there! 👙👙👙

Omg…I wasn’t even there and I almost 💩and 🤮! Bless their hearts, indeed😵

The way he did the bird sign OMG I was crying on the floor dying of laughter!!! OMG

Ummm, hell no. Mid-flight cocktail is the only way to still get me to ride those 💩cans! You’re supposed to have a drink🍸do a crossword📰, go to sleep😴. Not get drunk in the airport🍺, drunker on the plane🍻, then demand to meet the pilot 🥴.

Most of us don’t get it either!

Apparently they thought they had rented it?!! Sounds extremely weird.

As an American, I agree. Someone prying open my garage door is breaking and entering in my book. And thankfully I live in a "stand your ground" state.
