It took firefighters 20 minutes to open the machine Reproduction/South China Morning Post
A fiveyearold boy was trapped in a stuffed animal machine, a type with claws, in Guizhou province, southwest China.
The boy, who is currently the same size as the toys, entered with a mechanical claw through the channel used to deliver the dolls, the South China Morning Post reported.
After entering the machine, the child was happy to have received the stuffed animal, but fell into despair when he realized that he had taken a path of no return since the machine’s door could not be opened from the inside.
His situation was discovered by a person passing in front of the machine. “I was shocked when they told me there was someone in the plane. I immediately called the shop owner to open them,” the man said.
However, the dealer could do nothing to save the boy as the machine was broken and he had lost the key.
Firefighters were eventually called to rescue the boy and were able to free him after 20 minutes. They used their tools to remove the door of the machine and allowed him to escape.
The child’s mother brought him home shortly after the incident. The case happened about ten days ago, on September 12th.
Soup instead of sandwich? A restaurant in Japan is being recognized for serving customers the wrong food
The “Restaurant of Mistaken Orders” in Tokyo offers its customers a unique experience: you can order a sandwich and get soup and everything is done with a good mood. Because the founder Shiro Oguni only employs people with dementia
Japan has one of the highest life expectancies in the world, but also has a high incidence of diseases such as Alzheimer’s. About 2.3% of the population, or about 4.6 million people, suffer from dementia. Twothirds of these people live at home and tend to isolate themselves, worsening their condition
The restaurant helps this population group to regain more confidence in dealing with customers. In this way, the facility changes other people’s perceptions of dementia and those living with the disease
Founder Shiro Oguni says the workers are respected and the environment is mostly positive
The spirit of the restaurant is reminiscent of the Japanese concept of kintsugi, in which broken pieces of ceramic are repaired with gold not only to repair them but also to beautify their flaws, explains Tasting Table’s website
Philosophically, Kintsugi celebrates an object’s history by artistically highlighting its imperfections rather than dismissing them.
Despite the name, not everything goes wrong there. Only 37% of restaurant orders are actually wrong and when that happens, the mistake is seen as cause for laughter and celebration
“Restaurant of Mistaken Orders” won one of the most important creative awards in the world, the Cannes Lion. In addition, the restaurant has also received other awards in Japan and abroad
