What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

To be clear, the videos don't show her falling, just the workers tossing her off the drop, still incredibly scary and I understand why someone wouldn't want to watch it, just mentioning that it doesn't show the actual injury.

In this setup, 2 workers have her hoisted above their heads with her in a superman kinda pose. Because of the way she's being held, I can easily see her not noticing that anything was wrong.

Obviously the tether should have been attached long before they even picked her up. The thing that gets me is the worker in the back holding her legs has the clip where the cable should be attached dangling right in front of his face.
