Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let's bring in Alex Stone ABC News. He's joining us now.
But Alex, there is a how are you, by the way, welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
To doing good.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Doing Good. There's a place called The Wrecking Company and
it's located here in town on South Fork Street. It's
opening in October and it's Columbus's first rage room experience.
So it's a you can do this group, you can
do it solo, but you get to smash stuff and
(00:30):
it's basically you're being given the permission to go absolutely
crazy in a safe, controlled environment. They talk about how
therapeutic it is. It's a cool experience to see different
side of your friends or people that you work with.
Three separate rage rooms size to fit between four and
six people. There's also a solo room. They also said
(00:53):
they'll play music, but you can also provide your own
rage playlist, and you can take advantage of plate customization.
This it's like a station that they have there. You
can write or draw something on the plate before smashing it.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
The plate smashing and the glass smashing would be my
jam right there.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
I love the sound of shattering glass. Do you guys
have anything like that in La by chance? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I feel like I've heard of these things, but I've
never actually seen one. We're like, you can go in
and they'll have like an old computer monitor there that
you can hit with a bat and rip it apart.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
But yeah, off a space like the printer or the copyright. Yeah, exactly.
That would be so great.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
You can just mimic things, kind of pretend, use your imagination,
throw a plate against Wong go.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Oh my goddess Stone Colt's music. You know, yeah, how
many people they're really feeling better?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Like?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Okay, now I'm good.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Well, I don't know. I've never been through anything like that,
but I I don't know. I feel like, as long
as you don't get injured in the process of doing it,
they provide say coveralls, the gloves and helmets and goggles,
and you got to sign a liability waiver. You can
choose from the wall of weapons there as well. It's
(02:12):
thirty five bucks a person for a crate of breakables,
plates and plates, and then twenty dollars for solo session.
Got to be eighteen year olders, so on and so forth.
The wrecking company is going to operate and they give
the hours and all of that. I just think it's
a really cool concept. We do stuff like you're talking
about Alex, Like we'll take like I've taken my ar
(02:33):
and some of my handguns and so on, and we've
been out on property and we'll take you know, two
leaders and explode those and we'll video them and we've
shot up you know, computer monitors. Kind of to your
point with that earlier. So it's a different type of
this is hands on throwing stuff, breaking stuff, beaten stuff.
I would love to know what the wall of weapons is.
(02:54):
They don't really break that down, but I'd love to know,
like what kind of we got.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Everything from baseball bats to crow bars. You get a
variety of field tools as I would call them, you know.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Like a hoe or a hoe, a.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Pick axe or now it is now these are I
don't know if this place will have all those options.
I'm just saying the videos I've watched on YouTube of
other rage rooms had those this potential things you can even.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
If they let you throw a trident, like you know
what Brick did. Brick Tamblin had it. I think he
killed a guy. He probably should lay low. I think
it's what Ron Burgundy was saying, Yes he should unite exactly. See,
now I would get really creative.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
I'd be like, all right, give me a couch and
a chainsaw, you know what I mean, Like that would
be fun.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, I think they don't want that liability because now
they don't. No, I've never even used a chainsaw, but
I think there's a there's an art to that. You
kind of got to know how they're going to react.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Actually, when you rip off your leg, when you're.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Ripping into a couch with one, I don't know what
they'll do, but for a first time in something like
setting like that, I could see them going, yeah, no,
we don't really want anything to do with any of that.
As you come out, you know, peg leg or whatever.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
What about a good old fashioned give me a saw on.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
A rocking chair? Okay, you could do that, I guess
you could. I mean, are you have you?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I mean we're talking about wood, right, like some guys
the limits, right. I mean, I've used to chainsaw on
wood before. I'm familiar how it works.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Okay, it's just when you have a couch, there's cloth
and there's cushions, and I don't know that any of
those would still be on it. I would be more
worried about catching a spring and you know, shooting it
into my eye or something. Yeah, you don't want that either.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
You hear yourself got a spring in the eyes.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yes, they should do that, Alex in where you live
in Los Angeles because people are so the road rage there.
And look, I've never driven there, so I'm talking like
I know. I'm just I feel like that that city
is a pressure cooker. You would know better than I.
But seem like a lot of people are ready to explode.
Maybe they need a wrecking company there where they can go.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I think we definitely do. Yeah. We just got ranked
in some ranking for having the worst road rage anywhere
in the country.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
So it makes sense. Yeah, it does make sense.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Why had the lowest amount, which also makes sense. Yeah,
beaches and everything else. What's there at a road rage?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
About no doubt. It's like a screen saver anywhere you
look there, right, Hawaii.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
No reason to get out and beat up the guy
next to you.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Exactly. This quote from the NTSB hearing Alex planes come
in jacked up every day. I saw that and said, you, yeah,
I'm sure that's been the case for a long time.
I get I get a little squeamish when we start
talking about this stuff, because it makes me, you know,
think about, oh my gosh, this is happening, and these
(05:51):
are the planes that I'm going and sitting on, you
know what you have to feel that, Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
So Yeah, today was at day two of this Antia
hearing looking into the door plug that came off the
Alaska Airlines plane. And really two different things about the
hearing today, one being that they've been grilling Boeing and
Spirit Aerosystems, a company that makes the fuselage and then
delivers it to Boeing, about production problems and issues with
the seven thirty seven Max and so antsp cheer Jennifer Omedy,
(06:19):
she says, and she told the hearing that they during
their investigation have been hearing from Boeing workers about the
plane fuselage piece is showing up at Boeing with all
kinds of problems. And that's where that quote came from,
she said.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
One Boeing employee, not a contractor, said planes come in
jacked up every day. Planes come in jacked up every
day every day, meaning you were at the time receiving
quote unquote jacked up planes all the planes that another employee.
All the planes that come to us always have an
issue with structures, skins, open holes.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Now, remember the fuselage is built by Spirit Aerosystems. They
put it on a train and then it's delivered to Boeing,
and investigators believe that the troubled one that it arrived
at the Boeing headquarters and it had problems with the rivets.
So they took the door off, that door plug to
fix the rivets, and then because of a series of mistakes,
(07:14):
put the door back on, but never put the bolts
back on, and it was flying around lots of passengers
over several weeks and the door just magically never sucked
out of there, and it was on until it wasn't on,
and then they had their problem. So Boeing executives have
been testifying about production at the time. Asked how many
planes they were building, and they said.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
We had approved ourselves to build out a baseline rate
of thirty eight aircraft per month, but we were producing
at a rate lower than that, upper twenties to low
thirties and key and.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
There we approved ourselves. You know how, That's been the
whole thing that they were approving themselves. But and then
the other part of this hearing, we learned about the
chaos on board the plane, the pilots when it depressurized,
that their headsets were off their heads and they could
not hear each other. It was so loud with the
air rushing in. They had used hand signals to communicate
with each other, and then they didn't know in that
(08:10):
moment if the back of the plane was even there
any longer, what the status of their aircraft was. They
just tried to keep flying. They didn't know if anybody
had been sucked out. This was their emergency call.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yes we are emergency.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
We are depressurized, but we do need to return back
to We have on our technique impossitors eight.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
And we know that the flight attendants could not communicate
with each other or with them. They didn't know if
anybody had been sucked out, and so one hundred and
seventy seven on board, they didn't know how many were gone,
how many were still there. And then Jennifer Hammedy had
this message for those on board. She said, I am
sorry for what you went through.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
It was quite traumatic for the crew and the passengers,
and injuries we can't see, which we often don't talk
about can have profound, lasting impacts on lives and livelihoods.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
And then we learned almost seven months later, the investigators
still have not been allowed to interview the manager of
the manufacturing arm that makes the door plugs for the MAX.
That person is on medical leave and regulators have not
been able to get to them. They have a lot
of questions for them, but not been available. Boeing said
during this hearing that they have made changes, but this
(09:19):
is all part of thirty eight hundred pages of reports
and interviews released as a part of the NTSB's hearing,
and they'll put out a final report in about a
year with their final findings and their recommendations. But a
lot of info coming out in the hearing.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
It was crazy that that door was in place without
the bolts and it was flying. Several flights happened before this, weeks.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Of flying, went over the water down Hawaii, and I mean,
it's it's pretty incredible. And that when it did finally
come out, that it came out at an altitude low enough.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Yeah, it didn't rip the plane apart.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Had that happened at thirty six thousand feet, everybody on
board would have immediately the pressure difference and people would
have been sucked out. It would have been bad, and
it very well would have ripped. Just the whole pressure
difference would have created a bigger problem and they likely
would have gone down. And so that it happened at
ten thousand feet fifteen thousand feet before the pressure difference
(10:16):
was that great. Yeah, they had pressurized the aircraft. So
when all of a sudden it blew, that was a
big change. But at least where they were they could
breathe and it didn't rip the plane apart, and they
were able to get it back on the ground.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Man, that is the ultimate nightmare. And she's talking about
you know that what these people you know, have gone
through and so on, And there's no question that a
lot of those people, I mean, that's they'll have the
nightmares and so on that will happen literally probably the
rest of their lives, most of those people, if not
all of them. But I feel like it is an
(10:48):
absolute miracle based on what you just described, knowing now
the actual facts and so on, and I know those
have been around for a little while with this, but man,
oh man, how did that stand?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Plating in that seat right there? There's just there's so
many aspects of it.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Yeah, it feels like divine intervention. You know, it's just
one of those things. Absolutely crazy. Alex Stone, ABC News
out of Los Angeles. Alex, thank you very much. Look
for one of those rooms and break some stuff. You
got it again, see you dude. Yeah, I I I
still am like when I I'm like getting like and
you know, it's not really that cold in this studio
(11:24):
right now. He had goosebumps when he's talking about chills.
If you will, like thinking about that door somehow staying
in place with no bolts and it's it would flew
like many flights for weeks. I mean that's crazy. How
does that stay there? How does that just just right
in place? I mean it's absolutely divine.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
I like the fact I barely if I never fly hardly,
I never fly basically, it's uh.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I drive everywhere.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Okay, we go down to Florida, and you know after
Thanksgiving every year, all right, I drive to Florida, I
drive to Arisota.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
It's not that bad.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Like I understand, I have a much better chance of
dying on I seventy five on my way to Florida.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Well, you have a much better chance of getting in
a crash I think than a plane crashing as far
as on the ground, but your chances of survival are
a lot higher because you know if you crash on
the ground as opposed to a crash in an aircraft.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Statistically, way more people dyeing car wrecks than the new
airplane crashes, right, I understand that.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
There's so many. The thing is it's skewed. Think about that.
How many people fly, which is a lot as opposed
to how many people are actually driving. I feel like
there's going to be way more driving too, So I
feel like that's kind of a skewed step.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yes I am. I'm one of these weird guys that like,
I love to drive at night. I love driving on
an overnight road trip. It just hits different. It feels different,
listening to music, the families asleep beside and behind me.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
It's it's almost like meditation.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
For me. That is the absolutely the last thing that
I want to do, which is drive overnight. And in
a situation like that, I'll end up like Chevy Chase,
where you know he's asleep and like the camera's going
around the car, everybody's asleeping and it cuts to him
but see I'm now you're not. I used to be
(13:18):
once upon a time, but yeah, not anymore. That ship's say, I'm.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Also the guy that likes cool, overcast, rainy days, so
call me weird.
