There is a video circulating on the web for a Young Saudi who committed Suicide in Cairo from couple of weeks ago. The young man jumped from the ninth floor despite the pleas of the people down not to do so. I will not go in to the background of this sorrowful incident because it does not matter now as the man is dead.
I watched the video on YouTube ,it was shot by a mobile phone by someone from the neighborhood as I could tell from the dialogue. The people were extremely terrified and screaming after he jumped to his death , it is just the type of video you do not want actually to see on YouTube. I just wonder what happened to the Egyptians , instead of recording this video why did not anyone for real tried to save this young man , the pleas were not enough I am afraid !! Those people could have tried to find some kind blanket or cloth in order to save him like firefighters !!?
Already I do not understand why someone would upload it to the YouTube in the first place with no consideration to the family and friends of that young man. I really apologize to the family of that troubled young man.
What happened to the Egyptians !!??
he wasn;t trying to commit suicide. if you examine the video; you'll notice that he was actually trying to reach for the balcony underneath at which he succeeded temporarily and then his foot slipped.
ReplyDeletethere have been conflicting stories of what caused this whole tragedy and literally pushed the guy over the edge but i guess the most logical one is this(and this is according to a saudi arabian reference)
the guy willingly went to that flat to get sexual service from a prostitute. at some point(either after or before coitus) they had a disagreement over the payment, that's when the woman summoned her pimp(the second guy you see standing in the balcony) and she also fetched a cleaver in an attempt to scare the guy into paying the demanded sum.
instead of complying, he decided to flee the flat from the balcony... a dumb decision obviously.
it was a scam that went very wrong.
since now he's dead, no one wants to publish an official explanation as not to smear his 'honour'
