In the US if a car is illegally parked somewhere that blocks a firetruck and the firetruck needs to cause damage to the car in order to do their job they’re completely legally allowed to do that considering the car is in the wrong
This is how it should be 💯
There not just allowed they will 100% of the time
They’ll put the hose right through the car windows
They usually break 2 windows and thread the water hose through your car. They don’t care if it leaks and your car seats get wet and if that’s not enough the cop on the scene will give you a ticket😂
I live where you just step out from your house theres a literal street and I hate when people who still park outside sometimes EVEN INFRONT OF OUR HOUSE☠️tbh if you can't afford a garage don't own a car that's the reason we don't even thought of buying one yet
I cannot understand why the mother wouldn’t say anything when she realized her son was safe. That is horrific 🤦♀️
She probably felt extremely guilty by then and wanted the fire fighter to have a reason to why they were there in the first place. But overall the way the relative said it was just cruel.
she also probs didnt know till then
@@janny.line.lin3145I mean at least the relative said something, cruel or not. They might have kept digging for who knows how long
It could have been about saving face.
Some how I don’t think she knew. When you are afraid of your own child, you probably wouldn’t be looking for them. If she was at a neighbors, she probably had no idea what he had done or that he had left. Not sure though, because she was so adamant about finding him, thinking he was still in the house. Very confusing. But in any case, after he had admitted to setting the fire, he should have paid for it with life in prison. Don’t understand why so many countries don’t prosecute supposed mental health individuals! He knew what he did was wrong or he would not have fled and stayed at his uncles house. Doesn’t seem like he cared if his mother or anyone survived!!
The fact that firefighters get paid THAT MUCH LESS than doctors when they’re putting THEIR OWN LIFE in danger to save someone, makes me so sad.
Cause they don’t work every hr. Less education needed. Low skill . More risk yes.
@@MugenTJwdym they dont work every hour? She literally stated that they worked 120 hour weeks. Even doctors work less than that. And yes lesser education but risk should be paid equally, which is why construction workers get paid relatively well.
@@j800q I meant generally. In this case they were over worked.
This is our reality. Which is so sad. 😢
@@MugenTJmy siblings are firefighters. It is skill based, they are overworked. There are still high qualifications to be a firefighter. Don’t downplay it because you don’t need a degree there is still months of training. And again they’re risking their lives. Daily. They are traumatized daily.
The worst thing about this case is people died because of their compassion, determination and bravery. You can’t even try to call it stupidity because they knew full well what they were doing
The worst part are the people left behind, who stood proudly with those brave, selfless men.
For me is the fact ppl parked illegally that made this situation worse it pisses me of so much in tel Aviv you have lots of streets like that.
Never in my life have I been so angry at people not even directly involved in a situation. Every single person illegally parked should be charged and fined. It is genuinely infuriating.
You would think the loud sirens and fire trucks right outside your home would be enough to wake you
@Emotional-Support-Demon-Sarica exactly what I was thinking. Why did NOBODY move their car once they woke up from all the noise? Because I'm absolutely certain they were woken up. How horrible.
@@bbyghst honestly
Charged with what? They technically didn't do anything deserveing of more then a ticket
@@bbyghstby the time they probably left their houses the firemen were already at the house
Everything in this case disgusted me. The cars preventing the trucks to get to the house, the terrible working conditions, the lack of medical coverage, the lack of gear needed to protect these men. The fact the mother NEVER told them her son wasn’t there after she was given the information.. everything. I’m bawling
Agree, like I’m infuriated, annoyed, frustrated, everything. I can’t even.
Korea is so fked I left when I was a baby😉 money runs everything there and you can get away with all kinds of crimes unlike the US. How tf do u not find criminals in a country almost a quarter of Cali in size🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️plus too many selfish entitled ppl. Nice place to visit but not for living.
The fact that I’m 1000% sure that the neighbors heard the fire truck siren and no one got up to move their cars or to rally the neighbors to go door to door to move them. It’s sick sickening. My stomach dropped during the whole video.
@@KiwisAndAlpacasexactly, with so much commotion going on, all the sirens and lights you would have had to have known it was happening on your own street so to not even bother to move your car even AFTER the collapse and when there were thousands of firefighters literally digging by hand to find their fellow men, you have to be some kind of heartless, pig ignorant and evil to not bother to move your car that you had parked there illegally and that had already been partially to blame. It’s disgusting behaviour.
@@KiwisAndAlpacasalso the sad part is that the reason they probably didn’t come out and move them was probably most likely motivated my selfishness as they all knew that what they had done was illegal and probably did not want to be seen doing the drive of shame and knew if they were caught red handed there would be repercussions. They most likely chose their own selfish needs over the lives of those who would risk their lives for them in a heartbeat, it just beggars belief.
I haven’t cried over a case in so long but hearing her talk about how the firefighters kept on working after knowing their colleges died was absolutely heartbreaking
I literally started sobbing like this case is aggravating. It's pained me in every area and aspect. I can't stop crying
Innocent souls taken for nothing
i just about cried as well. so crushing. and that some firefighters died searching for the son who is an abuser and CAUSED the fire but he wasnt even there..
she's an incredibly talented story-teller.
too bad these are non-fiction.
This is so sickening, the mother and son needs life in prison, I don’t care. The illegally parked vehicles needs to pay hefty fines for damages to the family of the victims, the government should be ashamed of themselves, if it was their houses on fire, they would care then because that’s how it always goes. First responders need to be treated better.
As a kid with a firefighter for a dad, it's their personality. No matter how bad something is, they help. And they NEVER give up. It's unreal.
Tell your dad thank you for your service 🥰❤️
my dad is also a firefighter, which made this story so much harder to listen to tbh
your dad is a hero. we are very thankful for him, for existing and for his service 🤍
We thank your father for his service, I wish him the best life ❤
It can be terrifying when you realize you love someone like that. These guys kept shredding their bodies, when the only missing person was the son they didn't know the first thing about. It's technically, if not literally, insanity. But I guess that's why firefighters work together, they're constantly surrounded by people who are also willing to go that much further than the rest of us. Incidents like this one happen, but the odds of people getting hurt are so much lower than they would be if people like your dad weren't there. Tell him the internet says hi.
The mother is to blame along with the son. Her repeated demands pushed those firefighters to go back inside to save an ungrateful worthless human.
she didn't know tho? as a parent i think no matter how abusive your child is towards you you would still think of their health? atleast thats what my mom told me
@@lqvrv She didn't think to call him? I wouldn't blame the firefighters if they beat her up.
@@ulisesmontalvo9606 she wouldn't have demanded if she trough he wasn't in there. if you're sure somebody is in the building you wouldn't call then you would prioritize getting them out to safety. plus, what if he didn't have his phone on him? and beating her up is just violent. if she really thought he was in there her motherly instinct would be to beg the firefighters to go get him.
@@lqvrv OH yeah, even when the firefighters are TELLING you that the building will COLLAPSE???
An abusive son isn't worth the lives of 6 people.
Jail the mother!!
@@lqvrv The relatives joined her pretty early on. There is no way none of the relatives said anything while the mother was supposedly "in panic about her son".
She knew by then. She had to.
Don't you any of you watch the video in full?
Korea irritates my soul with their laws and corruption and the fact they take these men for granted sickens me. Every single car should’ve been charged with murder or accessories to murder and a fat fine. I’m outraged. 😤
I don't think it's a Korea problem, it's a worldwide problem. I'm from the United States, and I've never come across anything as corrupt as a local city government, and the number of vets living on the streets is horrifying.
When the firefighters say "it's my job," they're not just saying "I dived into a fire because I get paid to." What they mean is "I signed up for this. I didn't just happen upon an unexpected situation, and suddenly have to make a choice. I'm here because I chose, long in advance, that I would do this when necessary in order to save lives."
I can't explain how frustrated I am knowing about this case. Frustrated about the illegally parked cars, the messed up son who got away, the family members who didn't notify about the son being at his uncle's house, the government that didn't provide adequate safety equipments & underpaid the firefighters. My heart aches for these brave firefighters and their family.
I want to put this out there that it has nothing to do with your race or ethnicity. It has to do with these human beings being killed because of somebody else's stupidity. It breaks my heart and I don't care what country comes from and absolutely has me in tears and I just want everyone to know that 😢
@@sarasweightlossjourney1432 Yes, it has nothing to do with race or ethnicity. It's about how careless these parties were in this situation. I'm Asian and I do not care about what ethnicity was involved. What happened was injust and absolutely heartbreaking.

I can y Emily de
This was beyond maddening. People died because she didn't believe them when they told her they didn't see her son in the building. I hope she is happy now. She ruined a lot of lives.
I have seen a lot of people blaming the mother, yet I’ve still got to see a comment blaming the actual cause of the fire. The firefighters could barely see 2 feet ahead of them in a 2 story building, if there was a person there, it would be very likely that they wouldn’t have found him. It’s not the abused mother’s fault what her son did. She didn’t know that her son was there, and based on another person, this happened in the 2000’s where cell phones weren’t as prominent. His relatives should have told the firefighters that the son wasn’t there earlier. His mother should not be blamed for the death of 6 firefighters, imagine the trauma this left her regardless
It's automatic the son gets the full blame for the fire but there's also a lot of blame to be spread. It's sad he abused his mother but it doesn't diminish the fact that 6 firefighters died because she wouldn't believe them when they looked several times for her son. We can still feel bad for her but also upset and frustrated she didn't believe them. It's a trolley problem and we can talk about would've, could've, should've but it still doesn't take away the fact that 6 firefighters died and left their family and loved ones to grieve after them. Is saving one person worth 6 lives? Is one trauma worse than 6?
@@pt3033your reply EXACTLY
@@Emihasdreamstoo she begged them to go back in so yeah shes entirely responsible.
@@cedricdallaire3324because she thought her son was there dawg? anyone mother would beg for that, i don’t understand what you wanted her to do? just be like oh yea leave him? it was up to the firefighters to not go back in if they knew it was that dangerous, they risked their lives for the sake of others. just blame the idiots who parked the cars illegally, and the son. not the desperate mother asking for help, helping her was THEIR JOB. they wanted to do it
My husband has been a firefighter for over 30 years. It’s literally a brotherhood. They become family. It doesn’t matter what department they are in.
You know for a fact those that lost their firefighting brothers, probably still help to look after their families to this day. First responders and firefighters are some of the most passionate people I know.
“Tears fell down into the rubble, but the firefighters kept going.” Everytime she mentioned the same sentences made me sob even harder. Such a heart breaking story. I wish the best to the families and hope that they can cope with such terrible losses 🩷.
31:40 "An alert would come in, this firefighter had died, tears would fall into the rubble and they'd keep going"
The way she repeated these words for the victims it felt like I was being read the most heartbreaking bedtime story ever. It's so sad that this happened 😢
That is exactly what I was thinking too
@@terrybaker5844 a long time ago one of my neighbors was a firefighter. I was too young to understand her fears, but I knew she was afraid whenever her dad was on duty and I get it now. This story is heartbreaking, I can't imagine how hard it was to grow up like this, worried your own father would be in a situation like this
Just how you worry if you marry a soldier or a cop... Doesn't mean it hurts any less when it happens..
RIP all those brave men and damn the owners of those stupid cars!
It literally kept going and I was hoping it would stop. I’m in tears 💔
Gave me chills. I kept thinking when will the alerts end, I can’t imagine how the firefighters felt at that moment
I would literally grab this woman shake her, scream at her to get help for herself and disown her son... this is absolutely... I can't. My heart breaks for the firefighters and their families. That mother AND her disgusting excuse for a son should rot in jail.
That’s so real- If you think about it, the relationship between a parent and child hugely depends on the parent, what happened when raising the child that resulted in such bad arguments and domestic violence? Plus “mental health” i think the mother must also not be “normal” like there’s something up with the whole family including the relative who nonchalantly said that the son was at someone else’s house…
My grandma is like that and I can absolutely not stand it. Her son has been a problem child and she could never rain him in. By the time she realised what she was doing was wrong it was too late and now she prefers to live with the delusion that maybe if she "loves him enough and doesn't leave him" he would change. A drug abuser that spent years in prison for arson then when he came out of jail, thanks to his mother and enabler, he brutally beat my mum (his sister) in front of my little brothers. She still believes she could change him and wE sHouLd ForGive HIm. And I know more mothers like this. It genuinely disgusts me.
I feel like it wasn’t the mothers fault but the sons I also feel bad for the mother and all the firemen but still she could have known but it was mostly the mans fault
IF the mother knew her son wasnt in there, then yes.
@@cethj804it is possible that her husband was an abuser and the son saw that or that he had some serious mental health issues that she couldnt control, my son’s autistic & i wouldnt even put him in a hospital so i mean you can view it as her trying her best to get him help or her taking the easy way out and letting her son go to a hospital she shouldve known was likely abusive or negligent, then again, a lot of people still dont realize that & if he was violent with his disorder, it may have been all she could think to do,..
the amount of emotions I felt watching this..the fact that Stephanie was on the verge of crying... I just hope every fire fighter no matter where they are, stays safe and I hope this incident never repeats.
when she started crying i started crying...
I cried so hard watching this. My brother Sam was a firefighter here in Canada and I miss him every single day. He also passed away in the line of duty 3 days after he became a father to triplets. I am still crying as I type.
that is so sad. he was a hero. I'm so sorry for your loss, I hope his kids grow up proud of him.
I genuinely blame the mom as well. She couldn’t bother to call him!? She couldn’t call other family members!? She and her son should BOTH go to prison holy crap
Ikr! Sending them back in after they’ve searched it. They must’ve been gone for a while to look through the house. It’s sick to expect others to risk their life for strangers even if it’s their job! NOT FOR A FREAKING 3k WTH. She literally told them to go die if they can’t find her shitcrap of a son.
Are you dumb???
1. The person was panicked. Therefore, she wasn't thinking clearly. Especially panicked considering her last memory would be a fight.
2. How is an unconscious person going to pick up a phone? Again, assumptions kill people (looks at korean government). 🙄
3. Likely course of action would be the son/or someone who has seen the son, contacting HER (not the other way round). So the assumption was kind of reasonable, although she still should have called afterwards. I mean, 3 hours passed, how has she not called by this time.
Right like after she got the word that they didn’t find him family should’ve been the next option :/
I know many moms and wives like that. They lived their lives with battered wife syndrome, gaslighted and blamed and put down. So, they lack the courage to say something about the situation, scared to be blamed or being wrong. They won't even tell someone about their OWN abusive situation. I'm not saying what she did was right, but it still all goes down to the decades-long trauma that forced them to make such mindless decisions. I feel bad for everyone involved, except the son.
its easy for you to say that but no one's first thought is to call. shes in distress and hurt. she thought she just lost her son. why would she call. you could tell she was not in her right mind. She was described as inconsolable, she most likely thought his body was so burnt up that it was unrecognisable.
That last line you left us with,
He still carries a photo of them in his wallet and says "We're still fighting fires together guys".
That tore me. Thank you for sharing us their story so that firefighters would be recognised and remembered for their bravery and efforts.
The line made me actually cry
Me too!! I'm crying so much in pain for the families for their loss and specially the firefighters who dedicated their lives to save lives.. I cannot accept that the idiot mother and her son got away from this.. 😭😭😭😭
Firefighters are certifiably insane. They're also some of the most passionately committed, deeply empathic, devoted men and women you'll ever meet. Thank you for covering this.
22:19 this is one of many reasons why i love steph. She just doesnt tell a story, she feels and shows every emotion through each story, while putting her heart and soul into everything she does. Literally my favorite TH-camr.
Also, everyone behind the scenes, you are all incredible in what you do. Its noticed.
It’s blows my mind how many evil, cruel, gruesome, disgusting “people” are in this world. My cousin was a front line firefighter who went to fight some of the biggest fires. He was sent to California a few years back when nearly the entire state was on fire. He has been sent all over the country since he’s front line, and he has some trauma from some of his buddies dying in fires, and he’s nearly lost his life a few times also. He’s saved so many people from burning buildings, houses, parks, etc. The pay was literally nothing, literally got no money at all for the very first year which is ridiculous and pathetic. These people are risking their lives to save others and can barely afford living costs.
For hero’s who save people deserve a special place in heaven and for psycho killers who end lives of these hero’s deserve a very horrific place in hell.
Romans 10:9 = Eternal life+
Please extend my gratitude and admiration for him.
@@NRIH144how about u memorize ur governor’s phone numbers while u memorizing these bible verses. jesus isn’t the one giving them funding.
Respect to all firefighters!
Sadly those serial killers getting their own Netflix Documentary.... instead of true real heroes
honestly, one thing I love about Stephanie is how she discusses these stories, how you can see the tears form in her eyes, how emotionally connected she is - it shows how much investment she has in sharing these stories and delivering justice.
Yeah, you can hear her voice trembling when she was talking about all those firefighters working to move all that rubble and save the other firefighters☹️
I have to agree that Stephanie really brings the people’s stories to life. I think I first really noticed when she covered a nightclub fire just how emotionally invested she can get you.
absolutely. she's not flat and she cares about these people whose stories she tells
Yeah, I hate crying and started to feel so sad when her voice started trembling it made me feel so bad
The raw emotion in her voice as she’s telling this horrific story is heartbreaking. It takes a lot to get me this angry, but every last person who COULD have made a difference and saved these men failed them. My heart goes out to the victims’ families; I truly hope they have found peace, and that conditions continue to improve so that this never happens again.
I’m always at work trying to fight back tears while listening to these stories. I used to hate how sensitive I was, but now I’m embracing it more. The ability to feel feelings outside of yourself is a gift that I used to view as a curse.🥺🥺
Wow I have never heard of anything like this in my 29 years of my career 😢I’m a female paramedic firefighter and I feel such heartbreak to hear about this story. They will never be forgotten ! Brothers in Red , they will live on in the people they have saved and the love of their family and loved ones.. rest in peace my brothers in Red. First in and last out.
Oh my gosh….. I was shattered listening to this story but your comment just made me have to sit down & collect myself. It must be heartbreaking for other firefighters and people like you who work with them to hear of such a devastating tragedy. “First in, last out” just ripped at my heart. Thank you for your service as a paramedic and saving lives ❤ you guys are all angels.
thank you for what you do, you guys are truly admirable
Thank you for you heart and service you give everyday ❤ they will not be forgotten
thank you so so so much for your service ❤

In Germany Firefighters aren't allowed to go in a building if it is collapses. its sounds hard but if the chances are too small to save another person they are not allowed to go inside. - this story is so shocking. it made me really sad
It does sound hard, but also realistic
Think there definitely should be boundaries for firefighting…one person sacrificing their life for another, is one thing
But many people dying to try and save one person who probably won’t survive the building collapsing, I don’t think that can be justified
But that’s easy to say when it’s not myself in a situation like that
Yeah, I watched the logistic of firefighter in USA, and they apparently have procedure to always have safety inspector on site that gets to assess the situation and decide if it's too dangerous to go in. That way, no one should be able to guilt trip the firefighters to abandon their safety.
this story is a great example that true heroes exist but also true villains. my heart goes out to all the families and colleagues that lost a loved one.
They told the mother that the building is going to collapse and she still demand them to go in. That is so greedy of her for demanding everyone else to die for her abusive son.
If it wasn’t for Stephanie , I would’ve never known about all these cases. Thank you for your hard work Stephanie!!:)
I love her and I appreciate her hard work in bringing us these cases. She is a sweetheart.
I second this!
Literally
hi fellow moa
hi moa 🫶
I really appreciate how you took the time to tell us every fireman's story and personality. You really honored the lives so pointlessly lost and it was truly beautiful. It's much easier to keep these souls in your thoughts and prayers when you can imagine the lives they led and the beautiful people they were in their short time. Thank you.
This why I love her storytelling. Its so in-depth making me cry and get angry like. So immersed like reading a book.
If they were only going to give him 5 years for his mental health, then it should have been 5 years per firefighter lost.
And plus for the paralysed man, shoulder injury man, others with minor injuries digging the house, and the cost of the house and belongings too
How emotional she gets during this video is extremely touching. Shows how much she puts into the research and each persons story. A truly amazing and inspiring story teller.
All my respect for every firefighter that risks their life for our safety!! One of the hardest professions with the least rewards:((
The fact that their health insurance wasnt covered by the government!! Appalling!! Hopefully things have changed
Reminder to everyone who has respect for firefighters- dont just have respect for them from afar. Speak up with them. Donate to their stations. Go above and beyond for them just like they will for you if you ever need their help.
I know... my father was a firefighter before and my mom basically made an ultimatum for him to find another job, when she gave birth to third child (me). I remember him saying that payment was low, but he finds it's fair since he didn't have education and firefighters don't require to have one. He would always bring himself down because of it, though I find my dad one of the most hard-working and self-disciplined people in my life.
@@rezq9109lower education required doesn't make the job any less hard. Huge respect to your father.
My soccer coach is a firefighter and I’m proud of her and I send her and her crew mates some goodies and blankets it’s the least I can do at the moment.
In my country, fire fighters are heroes. Poorly paid and rewarded though.
Cat stuck in a tree, snake in your home, victim stuck in a car accident, bees/wasp nest on your porch...they handle everything when all other depts turn u away. Respect Abang Bomba (fire fighter bro)
“Tears dropped into the rubble but the firefighters kept going, their sledgehammers would slam into the concrete and an alert would come in” every time you said that sentence it hit harder
Each time she said that, I cried even harder!!!
@@mummyGoldStar so heart shattering i saw this video a while ago i still think about it
I haven’t sobbed this hard in so long. These firefighters, these heroes, deserved so much more than they got. I’m so upset and heartbroken for these families who suffered such painful losses. I’m so broken for these men who fought tooth and nail to save their friends only to lose them. Fuck that son, all the illegally parked cars, the mother who didn’t say anything, the fucking government for not treating the firefighters well enough. God bless the firefighters who gave their life and god bless all the firefighters and their families who are alive.
My dad was a fire fighter too. It caused him to have severe asthma and heart problems. He passed away at 55 😢❤
Thank you for honoring each man who risked their lives and died for their country. You delivered this with such grace, and I balled my eyes out with you. The quote “ And tears would spread into the rubble, but they would continue searching.” You said this for each firefighter, and it was incredibly beautiful. You’re an amazing person Stephanie. I love both you and your fiancé, you’re both beautiful souls.
You literally have a wedding and you’re posting 😭😭 the work you put in is crazy
One does not stop working just because one has a wedding. Income has to be made. Bills have to be paid.
This is the video from her podcast from July 9th. But still her posting a video right now is still awesome of her
She probably has them scheduled to release on certain days and times
Multitasking.
@@RawringReagan i think so too! Creating your long videos & editing even with a team of people is not easy. It’s a whole production process
Hearing Stephanie's voice completely break with sadness and emotion as she talks about the firefighters shattered my heart...
god stehpanie 35:09 , the way you’re describing the situation, the way you’re repeating your words for every single hero & describe this person, before telling us he was pronounced dead. Tears are falling from my eyes, so much pain in ur voice, it’s devastating
This one hit me really hard, I'm trying not to be a mess. My dad was a firefighter. I grew up in the firehouse with him and all his buddies. And now my brother works at the same station. They gave him our dad's badge number when he passed. Love to everyone who takes that oath and the families who support them ❤
Ngaww….. I am so sorry for your loss. Your father was obviously a great man and amazing father to be a hero and to have such an impact that your brothers chose to follow in his footsteps. You must be (& dam well should be) so proud to have been brought up along such strong, selfless hero’s. I know I would be! ❤

As someone who lost a firefighter friend to his job I know how this feels like. I know how passionate they are, this had me in tears remembering him and the call that told me what happened.
every time you said “an alert would come in” i was a step closer to bawling my eyes out
Thank you so much for honoring the victims in this story and the other stories you tell. As a fan of true crime content, I admit that it's easy for me to become jaded and forget to appreciate the real people involved in these stories. But you always help me remember, because of they way you put so much love and compassion into your storytelling
100% agree
She has become my favorite true crime channel, i don't see this type of empathy from anyone else. All the people I watch are respectful, but Stephanie is a rare one who can empathize with the victims to that level.
These are the real life story, a real horror the world needs to learn about.
As a nurse with firefighters for parents & sibling, this story touched me in a personal level. My dad has long passed away, my mom retired, and my brother new to the service. I just hope he’ll always be safe too.
I'll keep him in my prayers thank you to your family for their service of helping people
Your family will be in my prayers. I pray that God’s angels watch over your brother, and that he remain safe in his work ❤ 🙏 God bless
The raw emotion in this video had me crying at work. Hearing your voice crack and all. I've been watching your videos over the last month, and you are one of the few who show enough emotion in your tellings to have me crying.
The illegal parked cars the owners of them have to be charged and fined, this is so outrageous, I’m actually sobbing right now, just know their children and they’re wife’s are living without their loved one 💔
My father is a retired firefighter. He managed to do it for 30 years and made it out, but I know some who didn't. This made me cry this morning but I love how much you tried to understand the fear we lived with as his family and the sacrifice he did.😊
thank you to you farther
I see many comments saying that you were “exaggerating” and “over dramatic” in this video, but i don’t understand. It’s so refreshing to see that a true crime channel actually has some emotion and gives a large portion of the video to speak about the people that passed. It’s lovely that you can hear you on the brink of tears, and that you took extra care on mentioning all of their personalities. They were people, real people. Hearing their stories isn’t exaggerating, and putting emotion in her voice isn’t being dramatic. Thank you Stephanie for bringing a story like this to light, and for showing how truly you cared about this case, especially because many often don’t. ❤️
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I didn't see any comment like that though.
@@christianayusuf1954exactly. It’s the total opposite. Everyone loves and appreciates her storytelling.
Those people who keep saying that about Stephanie. Completely lack empathy themselves.
Lol people are hating on her for being human?
the hell is wrong with the judiciary system of korea
I've never felt this emotional while listening to someone retelling an incident. You truly gave the respect these firefighters deserve and your emotions feel so genuine
This is literally horrifying. Sending prayers to the firefighters who valiantly gave their lives and their families who surely miss them terribly. Like you were saying, people like that are just built different. To be so selfless even when it goes against your human nature to preserve yourself, to risk your lives like that for someone you’ve never met, even though you KNOW with certainty that the house is going to fall down. These are remarkable people, too good for this world.
That mom and son really should have been charged with 1st degree manslaughter 6 tiimes
my heart goes out to all the victims, families and the friends of ones. and the 5-year sentence is actually insane. a 32-year-old man took 6 LIVES and you're telling me he only got that?! truly unfair. praying to God that the fallen firefighters are now in a better place and that karma soon catches up to the son, his mother and all the people that didn't react while they had the possibility to do so.
i already feel like crying but stephs voice trembling as she tells the story about these brave gentlemen who gave it their all i cant stop the tears, your an amazing story teller steph
The buterfly effect is so cruel. Such an anfortunate situation... the illegally parked cars, the miscommunication and lack of staff and equipment very sad rest in peace to all the brave firefighters 😞

Out of all the true crime videos I've seen, yours hit the hardest, because it's so clear that you care about the victims. Every time you start tearing up, I start tearing up too
"look, we're still fighting fire together"
I've never been so angry before all the people parking illegally the uniforms and living conditions these poor men faced and the son being the worst made me cry from anger
I was listening to the podcast last week and couldn't believe my ears when Stephanie said the firefighters were given raincoats instead of actual fireproof suits and equipment. RAINCOATS?? Just what the hell. I had to rewind to see if i heard correctly this is just unfathomable
I feel like that is even worse than nothing. Like wouldn’t that melt to your skin if it got hot enough?
@@nursenicole222Yes, it would.
@@nursenicole222My exact thoughts. 😢
What I love about you is you personify the victims so much so you tell their story with so much emotion. I can tell you really care about these people.
Personalize*, not personify
This is why RottenMango is the only true crime I watch anymore. ❤
I don't know anyone else who can tell these kinds of stories while honoring the victims with so much love and respect❤
man this i the first time i ended up sobbing .
may the souls of the firefighters who passed away rest in peace 🙏🏼🕊
My jaw was open for so long throughout this story, that i think its permanently locked wide open.
Wtf! 😲
this case seriously had me outraged... I could hear Stephanie's shaking voice even in the audio version
I hope all the firefighters that risked their lives are at peace now
They're not 😢
Not only does the mother deserve to be charged, but so do the people who blocked the road.
Blame it on movies and shows for painting firefighters in a less intense, more fit and hot kind of image! They do an extremely dangerous, compassionate, and sadly thankless job.. they are heroes.. kudos to you for highlighting this so well.!
I’ve never cried during an episode before but I’m currently bawling my eyes out
Same and I'm so mad at the same time!
I feel so bad for the six firefighters that died in that fire and their colleagues families and friends too they were husbands, brothers, sons and so many other things but their lives had to be lost for something that could be avoided and what's even more annoying is that the person who committed this crime only got five years in prison that's really messed up he knew exactly what he was doing especially when he didn't tell anyone in the house.
Thank you Stephanie for informing us about this case❤️.
The way that she listed them individually and set the tone like that was very touching.
Wow I don't see her break down that often.. you keep doing what you're doing, it's very important to learn these things.
Your telling of this story ripped my heart out. You provided a beautiful tribute to these brave souls. Thank you. 😢
As someone who has been in an apartment building fire where I had to get rescued from the fifth floor… I watched as the roof collapsed on five firefighters, and I cannot even express the terror I felt in that moment for them. It was surreal. They all luckily survived after a trip to the hospital. I cannot fathom this situation. I owe my life to firefighters. They are the best of humanity.
The way you tell these stories is always admirable. You bring so much compassion and emotion into them, and I can't help but have my heart hurt for these families. Thank you for bringing these stories to light.
Fought tears through out the whole video. Heartbreaking, the picture in the wallet, still fighting fires together is what got me. Thank you for bring awareness and sharing their stories.
The way Stephanie honors each fallen hero and humanize them is so beautiful.
Then she verbalized the rage of the injustice and bad governance so evocatively - making her audience wanting to do better for this world.
Such great work always, mango team - your family must be so proud 🥭
The line where the man talked about putting yourself in danger to save others just hit hard! 💔
Ikr 🙁 Noble and selfless act as firefighters 🚒
The amount of goosebumps I have from Stephanie's story telling is unmatched! "Their sledgehammers would slam against the concrete, and an alert would come in." Omg...😢😢😢😢 the tears, man.
Yes! And the agony or hearing her say the same thing over 6 times😭 6 lives 😭😞
I can hear Mr mango butts sad cry’s behind the camera… omg you guys are making me cry so hard ❤❤❤
I started watching her two days ago when she had 990k here and now she hit 1M. 🎉🎉🎉
the compassion and ability Stephanie has to empathize with the victims of these cases make me respect her so much
I am extremely outraged at this story. The incompetence of everyone is making me so mad.
May they rest in peace 🕊️
The mom and the relatives are just as guilty as the son. The relatives showed up shortly after the firefighters did, I'm furious they did not alert the firemen the son was not there. There's absolutory no way the mom and relatives didn't talk about the son so they knowingly withheld the information while the mom was screaming and shaming the firemen to their death. It's disgusting. I'm amazed the firefighters didn't explode on the family once everything came out.
I can’t help but compare the “rescuers” in the sewol tragedy and this story. The former did insufficient efforts while the latter went beyond to rescue someone. It’s infuriating. The world has lost these selfless firefighters due to the actions of others: the lack of government funding, the son who started the fire, the illegal parking citizens
31:40 the repetition from here is so beautiful and emotional. The way Stephanie tells stories will always amaze me. I hope those firemen rest in peace
I live in PA, someone parked illegally in front of a fire hydrant so the firemen did what they needed to do and busted the back windows out and ran the hose right through that wankers backseat! I wish they would've just plowed through those illegally parked cars ! My thoughts are with the family and loved ones
my heart is breaking for these heroes...
i’ve been with you guys since the beginning, i can’t believe this is really happening.
i pray for a happy happy life for you guys, as much as you DESERVE IT.
i can’t put in words how much i love you guys!!!🤍i’m so proud of you.

saaame, I remeber when she used to be suuuper shy and she used to live in a small apartment, and the girls night talk ❤❤❤❤ she's like a sister for real
Seeing how hard it is for you to just give us this information, really shows us how much care and respect for everyone who has sacrificed themselves for us.
This case and the way you are telling the story is so heartbreaking. Seeing the brother cries brought me to tears. I have so much respect for these heroes and I feel more than sad at the lack of recognition they are (were) going through and it make me feel some guilt at some point
I was 13 when 9/11 happened. Ever since then I have so much respect and admiration to first responders …. Such a sad story you shared 😢 god bless their souls
You told this story with such honor and respect. Not just sharing the photos of the fire fighters, but a little about their lives.
Girlll the dedication you have to be preparing for your wedding while also posting for us. You’re incredible! Thank you for telling us these stories so compassionately.
This is the earliest I been!! Hi Stephanie and Stephiancé!! Love yall 💌!
Puke
The raw emotion that you show when telling these people's storys truely brings the story home, thank you for your incredible videos
Your face at the end 😭 sending everyone hugs, we all could use a hug
As a firefighters daughter. Their colleagues are family, it is a brotherhood. The closest relationships you will ever witness.
