Sixty thousand RMB? That's like nine thousand bucks USD.

Re: Loss in Stocks, He Jumped into the Steel Furnace
That was probably a (pretty) quick and (relatively) painless death. Not like self immolation.

Re: Loss in Stocks, He Jumped into the Steel Furnace
If the metal is hot enough, you basically "explode"/vaporize as soon as you hit the threshold of where you are past boiling and everything just violent reacts and turns to gas almost instantly. You can find some archived Refinery accidents from newspapers in like the 1920s-40~ of overhead pots falling and dumping molten metal all over multiple people or something similar. It's a pretty fascinating way to go out, accident or on purpose. |

The removal of his safety equipment seemed like an unnecessary step.

Re: Loss in Stocks, He Jumped into the Steel Furnace
I can see your point of view  Retrospectively speaking, in death all thing may seem longer for the person going through that.. Even if it was 3 seconds of suffering, that relatively quick death would seem like an eternity  but then again, at that point, it wouldnt matter anymore because you would be carbon |
