Just a few days ago, a terrible scene occurred in an Internet celebrity apartment in Melbourne, the scene was chaotic, a large number of residents were evacuated urgently, and several fire trucks came.
The place where the incident took place is Queens Place, an Internet celebrity apartment in Melbourne's CBD, which is not only in an excellent location, but also has a good environment, and is one of the top high-rise buildings in Melbourne's city center, so many Chinese students choose to rent a house here.
According to the memories of the students who lived inside, the fire alarm kept ringing at that time, and the house was also filled with smoke, and they could not go home after being evacuated, and they did not know what happened.
In the past few days, the cause of this incident has finally been revealed, and it turns out that the "culprit" is actually a Chinese student living on the 40th floor.
The unlucky one who lives downstairs is the unlucky, she said that she was awakened by the fire alarm and found that her home was directly flooded, even the homework she had written was completely destroyed, and the power outage on the 39th floor lasted for at least two days.
So why did this Chinese student do such a thing?
According to the whistleblower, the cause of the fire turned out to be due to the Chinese student inhaling excessive laughing gas, losing control of his emotions and igniting the quilt, which eventually led to serious damage to the entire building. As can be seen from the pictures that broke the news, there are multiple laughing gas canisters scattered on the floor of the apartment, and the quilt is also seriously burned.
It was also revealed that she fled to the corridor after she set the quilt on fire.....
A few days have passed, and now more information is being made public. The 22-year-old Chinese student, surnamed Ding, is an international student at the University of Melbourne.
She reportedly admitted that she had inhaled laughing gas, but said: "The fire was accidentally caused and I escaped death." ”
At the same time, she also apologized to the other residents and landlords of the apartment, explaining that she did not flee after arson as reported on the Internet, and that she did not deliberately set the fire and would bear legal responsibility.
However, she admitted that she had been inhaling laughing gas for 7 days that day, and the whole person was in a trance. At that time, she had a lighter at hand and accidentally lit the quilt, and when the flame was lit, she really wanted to die and didn't want to live, so she took a photo and posted it to Moments with the text "Goodbye".
She tried to extinguish the fire, but was unsuccessful, after which she hid in the toilet for about 10 minutes and covered her mouth and nose with a wet towel to save herself.
"It was dark in front of me, I don't think I'm going to die here, right?" The thought came to her, and in a panic, she opened the door and rushed out, ran to the corridor outside, and was taken away from the scene by the firefighters who arrived. Later, she was taken to the hospital for examination because her mouth and nose were smoky. In addition, she had burns of varying degrees on the backs of her hands and thighs.
On April 22, she posted a social media post apologizing to the other residents of the apartment, but the post is now no longer viewable due to complaints.
According to Ding, he has been reflecting during this time and realized the consequences of his actions, so he came out to apologize. She was very sorry for the other residents of the apartment and caused a huge loss to everyone.
When she returned to the apartment, she had already spoken to the police and would look for a solution and take legal responsibility. ”
Ding said that she was studying in Canada before, came to Australia to study last year, and is about to graduate this year. As early as Canada, she started inhaling laughing gas, and last year she started pumping again due to family and emotional pressure. Now her parents know that she has caused a big accident because of her laughing gas inhalation, and they are very disappointed in her and will not care about her anymore.
Of course, there is a price to pay for getting into trouble, but someone broke the news that he was still borrowing money before the incident, and he was obviously unable to bear the consequences. Without the right insurance, the landlord of the apartment will not only not be able to get compensation, but may have to pay for repairs and compensation for others out of pocket.
I have to say that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people, Ding burned his own quilt, and there were even more crazy Chinese students who burned the church.
On September 30, 2021, the landmark First Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama, USA, was set on fire and seriously damaged in many places.
She was later sentenced to eight and a half years in prison for arson.
Acting U.S. Attorney Jonathan M. Jonathan S. Ross said the evidence presented during the trial showed that Yan had clashed with church staff on several occasions prior to the incident.
On October 4, 2021, during Yan's arrest at a Montgomery residence, police found duffel bags identical to those seen in surveillance video on the night of the fire, as well as clothes and lighters that matched the type of clothing the suspect was wearing. In addition, the police found a pistol.
It is reported that at the time of arson and arrest, although she had a student visa, her visa had actually expired, so she was illegally residing in the United States, so she could not legally possess a firearm.
Although severely punished, the century-old church was also badly damaged, with multiple internal damages.
In fact, we have reported on many absurd things about Chinese students abroad, including but not limited to murders, large-scale frauds, death in drag racing, and imprisonment for helping people launder money. However, we are not emphasizing the poor performance of Chinese students abroad, on the contrary, we know that many international students are diligent and active in their studies.
We are reporting on these incidents as a reminder to stay safe and avoid engaging in dangerous activities while living abroad. Through these reports, we hope to raise awareness so that everyone can live safely and healthily abroad.
