Bad day at the office? Probably not as bad as this man’s poor co-workers, who faced his destructive rampage. A 3-minute video of the incident is naturally making its rounds on YouTube and the Web. The video is set to Verve’s song “Bittersweet Symphony” and shows the man throwing computer monitors and whiteboards, tearing down cubicle walls, and taking a sledgehammer to the office copier.
Many have speculated the video is a fake, citing co-workers who stick around instead of fleeing the scene. There is also a video from a second angle, which seems a bit convenient. Taken from a cell phone, this video includes sound and shows a security guard using a Taser to subdue the worker. We do not hear “Don’t tase me, bro!” as the language appears to be Russian.
In spite of all our differences, the one thing that binds all living creatures is that we each have an expiration date. This finality to our existence is what makes life special, something to be cherished and protected. But occasionally things can go terribly wrong
