The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 1314 Collapse
The sharp drop in the stock price of United Ultra Vacuum Pipeline Railroad Company did not lead to happy results, but instead made the entire United States even more angry.Because more than 40% of the stocks of the United UUV Pipeline Railway Company are in circulation in the hands of retail investors, and because of the previous crazy rise, it has been listed as the best investment project by almost all financial institutions.

Whether it is investment institutions or retail investors, they have basically bought the shares of the United Ultra Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company, especially the middle class in the United States, and everyone is in the trap.

According to incomplete statistics, the middle class in the United States has a total of 2.1% of their assets, which are used to buy the shares of the United Ultra Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company of the United States.And when the United UV Tube Railroad began to plummet, it was equivalent to the loss of 2.1% of the total assets of the entire middle class in the United States.

Some people may think that the figure of 4.1% is not high, but it is for the total assets, and the total assets are calculated by counting various fixed assets and intangible assets.

According to the research report of relevant organizations, if an ordinary American middle class has assets of 200 million US dollars, then 60% of them, or 120 million US dollars of assets, are their houses.

Another 12% of the assets are their cars, which is equivalent to about US$24. Although the assets equivalent to US$144 million exist, they are not in their hands.

In addition, there are assets of about US$20, which are valuable items such as various jewelry, so on average, a middle class in the United States actually only has assets of about US$36, which are cash, stocks, bonds, funds, etc. Assets that can be converted into cash quickly.

And 4.1% of total assets is $8.2.

In other words, those who can see $36 in cash in an account are equivalent to the middle class with all their assets in their eyes.

I was surprised to find that overnight, I lost 8.2 US dollars of funds, which is equivalent to the loss of 1/4 of my property. What kind of mentality do you think these middle-class people in the United States have?
In fact, this is just an average. Some people lose less, but some people lose all their wealth.

According to incomplete statistics later, 18.2% of the middle class in the United States lost more than 80% in this slump, and 10% of them lost all their money.

There are still 10% of the 30% who are directly in debt to speculate in stocks. Such a loss not only loses cash, but also loses all fixed assets, which is a real bankruptcy.

The middle class is the solid foundation of a country. If the middle class faces a collapsed loss, the entire country will fall into devastating turmoil, and the United States is obviously slipping into such an abyss.

All of a sudden, the entire country of the United States was filled with angry roars, and everyone looked at their accounts with huge losses, and at the same time they would punish those bastards.

This time it didn't just erupt on the Internet, but actually spread to the entire United States. Various large-scale demonstrations began to erupt across the country. Countless people took to the streets and spread to almost all cities in the United States in a short period of time. , and its scale is even about to catch up with the outbreak of the financial crisis a few years ago.

Now the officials did not dare to be negligent. The investigation team was announced that night, 4 days earlier than the original plan. At the same time, the vice president was directly in charge of the entire investigation team, and the specifications could be said to have reached the upper limit.

But this seems to be unable to quell the anger of the people. On the morning of September 2013, 9, angry people gradually gathered outside the headquarters building of the United Ultra Vacuum Pipeline Railway Corporation, demanding that the United Ultra Vacuum Pipeline Railway Corporation The high-level collective came out to explain to everyone where the money went and why the pipeline had not been started for three years.

Of course, the higher-ups didn't dare to come forward to explain. As a result, more and more people gathered. By the afternoon of that day, more than 20 people had gathered.

Then, a scene that was destined to be written into the history of the entire United States happened. Under the anger of 20 people, the police and security personnel who were guarding the door were completely unable to resist.

In the end, I don’t know who pushed it. A company security guard fell to the ground, and then the entire defense line was cracked. All the security personnel and police disappeared into the crowd almost instantly, and the 20 people fell directly Burst into the United States United Ultra Vacuum Pipeline Railway Corporation building.

Several employees in the lobby on the first floor of the United Ultra Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company of the United States were terrified, and they all took the elevator and fled to the upper floors, and the entire first floor was directly occupied.

The angry people first smashed everything they could see with their eyes, and stuffed the things that couldn't be smashed into their pockets.

Then, these people climbed up layer by layer, smashing the things on each floor, or stuffing them into their pockets. Although the entire US United Ultra Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company building is as high as 17 floors, it is in 20 It was not enough to see in front of thousands of people, and soon the 17th floor was occupied, and even the chairman's office was broken into, and everything inside was looted.

Some employees within the company collectively retreated to the top floor of the building. With the help of a rescue helicopter, they fled the building by helicopter, and this classic scene was photographed by reporters outside.

At this point, it seems that the matter should be over, after all, the entire building has been occupied!
But the tragedy has just started now. I don't know who, in order to vent his anger, set off a fire inside the United Ultra Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company of the United States.

At the beginning, the fire may have only come from a small lighter, but it spread to the entire building at an extremely fast and unimaginable speed. When most people in the building realized that the building was on fire, it was too late .

This fire started from the 11th floor of the building, and as we all know, the fire burns upwards, so unless you escape down immediately, people above the 11th floor basically have no way out.

In fact, this is also the case, because the higher the status of the company, the higher the number of floors, so the valuable things are often on the upper floors of the building, and the more people stay there.

When the fire spread beyond recovery, at least more than 3000 people were stranded on the 11th floor and above.

Fortunately, this chaos has lasted for several hours, and the police have already rushed to the scene, so when the fire started to burn, it was discovered immediately, so as not to waste a lot of precious police Time, the fire department can also be dispatched as soon as possible.

It's just that the fire department comes quickly, so it's hard to save people on the 11th floor, because the number of floors is too high.

In fact, when the firefighters arrived, the firefighters even refused to go directly into the building for rescue. Only a very small number of firefighters entered the first floor to guide the people to escape, and none of the firefighters ran up.

This is not that the firefighters in the United States are all cowards, but the consequences of a disaster 12 years ago.

In the disaster on September 2001, 9, the Twin Towers did not collapse immediately. In fact, the two buildings still stood for about an hour.

At that time, the firefighters rushed in to rescue people at the first time, and then because the fire was difficult to control, two buildings collapsed one after another. A large number of firefighters died in that disaster, which became a huge pain that the entire industry could not erase.

Most of the firefighters who died were rescued by the upper floors of the building, and died together with the collapse of the building. Once again ushered in the tragedy of the collapse of the building.

But this is only one of the aspects, there is another reason is the main reason.

According to statistics afterwards, more than 3000 firefighters suffered from severe lung-related diseases and other serious mental illnesses in this disaster.

When these firefighters asked the government for compensation afterwards, they were directly rejected. On average, each firefighter only received a few hundred dollars in compensation. All injured or sick firefighters ended up not only not getting a penny It turned out that he was fired from the company due to physical reasons, and finally died miserably on the hospital bed, more than the firefighters who died in the building at that time.

This accident deeply shocked and educated all American firefighters. Although this will not lead to no successors in the entire firefighting industry, firefighters throughout the United States have reached a consensus and unspoken rules.

That is to never enter a high-rise building that is on fire, and to carry out rescue under the condition of absolutely guaranteeing one's own safety and without any harm to oneself, otherwise, rejecting all risky rescue operations.

This is not a fiction of a certain author, but a fact proved by countless real disasters.

On June 2021, 6, another disaster that shocked the world occurred in the United States. A building with more than 24 residents collapsed, resulting in the death of 100 people.

But what shocked the world was not the disaster itself, but the rescue after the disaster.

In a large number of online videos shot at the scene, although there are many rescuers at the scene, they do not have any large-scale rescue equipment. They rely on human hands to carry the ruins at the scene, rescue the survivors under the ruins, and leave a classic The photo shows that 16 rescuers lined up on the human body conveyor belt, and five broken bricks were conveyed within 1 minute.

The whole rescue lasted for 7 days and ended. In the end, no survivors were rescued. The only result was a small pile of broken bricks that were less than a person's height, which were all removed from the ruins of the building. But It is said that there was a kitten buried in the ruins, but some people said that this kitten was a stray cat wandering around, but it happened to jump in during the rescue, and then became the only one rescued.

The evidence is that the kitten was not injured at all, and someone took pictures of him strolling in a nearby park after the building collapsed, etc.
