Emergency Exit or Final Exit? Viral Video of Building’s Shocking Safety Blunder Stuns Internet

New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): You never know what might go viral on social media, and this time it’s a jaw-dropping example of negligence that has left viewers shocked — and laughing nervously.

A now-viral video, circulating widely on Instagram, shows the inside of a building where a door marked “Emergency” hides a chilling truth. Recorded by a man inside the premises, the clip starts innocently enough, showing what appears to be a standard emergency exit door. But when he opens it, the reality outside sends shivers down viewers’ spines.

Instead of stairs, a balcony, or any safe pathway, the door opens directly into a sheer drop — a deep gap many feet below. In other words, anyone attempting to escape through this door in a real emergency wouldn’t find safety, but an instant and dangerous fall. The video, posted by Instagram user remigiusj, has already racked up over 57,000 likes and sparked a wave of reactions.

One user joked, “This is not an emergency exit from the building, it’s an exit from life.” Another quipped, “This isn’t an emergency exit, it’s the final exit.” Someone else wrote, “From here, you get a direct exit to heaven.” The most savage comment? “This is the world’s only emergency exit… from the world itself.”

This bizarre architectural blunder has now become the latest viral sensation — equal parts terrifying and darkly humorous.
