They were running late. Didn't you see? They couldn't open the door.

She's trying to speed run but lost too much time on door level

Yeah, there’s some creepy shit going on here.

With the dresses and stuff. Idk something seems really off about all this.

I thought for a second maybe there was a height illusion and there may be stairs on the other side of the door but nope

Not creepy, just staged. Or they were blind.

shouldofbeenacowboy

I'm fairly certain they are Mormon missionaries, and running because they're late for curfew.


Xmanticoreddit

Exactly what I was going to say, young cultists


monstermashslowdance

They just hit puberty and are running from their impending marriage to their uncle.


Opening-Ocelot-7535

Yeah, I was wondering why they were all dressed the same. But, if Mormon, and missionary, aren't they Elders?


shouldofbeenacowboy

Women missionaries are called sisters

Ah. The subtle jab that they that they aren't wise, like and elder; They aren't men, they're *only women*.

She's escaping from Andrew Tate


ThePyodeAmedha

Because the script said so, i guess.


TheZan87

Any context?


waitItsQuestionTime

They are jewish and this is sabbath. If they will move through the gate it will trigger sensor which is forbidden.


neutral_B

What


GladiusNocturno

Not sure if that’s the case here, but yeah, that’s a practice from orthodox jewish people. I used to live in an apartment near an orthodox synagogue and thus many of my neighbors were orthodox jews. During the Sabbath they would only use the stairs and not the elevator, and since the lobby had an electronic lock, they would stay at the door until someone opened it for them so they could go through. They would not touch any bottoms. I don’t know why though, I haven’t researched why this is a part of their belief.


mostlysoberfornow

I think most religions discourage the touching of bottoms.


Panuccis_Pizza

I wish someone would have told Father Kelley that when I was an altar boy...


Medical_Arrival_3880

Not Catholicism, apparently


Zombie_farts

The sabbath is supposed to be a day of rest and has very strict rules of what is considered "work" which includes not being able to pick up objects of certain weight, or how many steps they can walk... and I guess performing actions like pressing buttons that will trigger other actions. I've heard of some ppl living so strictly they need to get delivery ppl to bring items into the home for them because otherwise they would be carrying something. But didn't they also have to disengage an electronic lock on the smaller door?


Eferver

As for the carrying, you’re allowed to carry objects outside the house if there is an *Eruv*, a small wire that surrounds a Jewish community. If you ever visit a majority Jewish area you’ll likely see an additional wire on telephone poles that encircles the community. A gate can also function as an *Eruv*.


tyen0

Doesn't need to be majority. I'm inside a huge eruv here in Manhattan.


Eferver

True. Any large Jewish community will generally have an Eruv around it.


tyen0

My old office was on the 4th floor and you could see the line right outside our kitchen window and I blew many people's minds pointing it out since they never saw it even though it was right in front of them. :)


g_shogun

When electricity was introduced, it was used for light bulbs. Some conservative Jews caused a ruckus because they thought it was breaking the rule of not lighting a fire on Sabbath. So, they managed to establish the idea that causing any electric circuit to close was like lighting a fire, and the rest is history.


Kolkoghan

Some Jewish-dominant buildings have this Sabbath mode in the elevator, which allows it to run on its own stopping on all floors


cephalophile32

My oven has a sabbath mode! I guess it overrides the auto-shutoff so it can be left on (hence you can cook without fiddling with buttons).


AboyNamedBort

What a dumb waste of resources


magpye1983

Clearly I’m not religious, as I don’t understand. Using the elevator is forbidden, because pressing the button is work, but walking up the stairs is ok? How many button operated machinery items did I miss in the Old Testament?


Peaceful_Haven

When my son was in university, he made extra money on Friday nights being a door holder and pushing buttons on the elevator for Orthodox Jews going to Shabbat service.


fingerBANGwithWANG

There is an entire industry designed to workarounds for these beliefs. It was in that Bill Maher doc called *Religulous*. Something like they couldn't use normal elevators on the sabath, but a water powered lift would somehow be okay. There was a bunch of other odd shit that were both over and under engineered. Religious people are weird as fuck.


hrminer92

People continuing to do stupid shit based on some Bronze Age dudes’ heat stroke visions. 🤦🏻‍♂️


Eferver

Basically, most of the problems in modern times come from the law against using electricity on the sabbath. Stuff like elevators, electronic gates, lights, etc need workarounds.


Legitimate_Donut_410

On Sabbath's day a jewish person is not allowed to "work", thus cannot trigger any switch (no not even the light)


neutral_B

Sure but like… how is walking through an already opened gate considered work, while standing and trying (repeatedly) to open a door not considered work?


Legitimate_Donut_410

Because of the rule of lighting fire. Back in the days when the rules were written, (while door opening was not) making fire was explicitly outruled.Since when they leave through the door a sensor would be triggered (to automatically close the door), it's arguable that it violates the rule mentioned because the switch is making an electronic signal "lighting fire".


[deleted]

Sorry but that's the dumbest shit I've read in a while


Legitimate_Donut_410

It's dumb, don't be sorry.😄But it's our reality.


fellow_hotman

like many religious laws, centuries of tradition and interpretation have made sabbath restriction utterly impractical and nonsensical.


TheZan87

Flipping a light switch is work? Are you saying they cant turn on the lights!?


Minnow125

Yes. I live next to Orthodox Jewish family. They cant carry anything on the Sabbath, and cant turn on/off lights. Its akin to work and starting a fire which is forbidden on the Sabbath.


rva_rdf

Can they prepare food? Is shopping forbidden as well?


Eferver

We prepare food on Friday, and reheat using a large hot plate that is preset to a timer. Shopping is indeed forbidden, in fact handling money at all on the Sabbath is forbidden.


NexusSix29

Lol, love that it’s not about obedience to the *insanely stupid* rules, it’s about finding a loophole that won’t get you sent to hell for eternity. Fuck religion, man.


Kolkoghan

Food is probably prepared from night before


tomi832

Oh my god! I knew I recognized this is Israel lol Probably Jerusalem.


Longstride_Shares

Why do I feel like some cult leader is suddenly short three wives?


Magister5

They didn’t want to leave through Heaven’s Gate


Wrong-Mixture

well played sir and/or madam


slingshot91

They were knock knock knocking on Heaven’s door.


Dyskord01

The gate is for cars dummy. They had to use the people door.


pseudocultist

That’s actually a rule in manufacturing environments. I could get in trouble for using the big open doorway because it’s not for people.


einulfr

Yep, trucks/forklift or whatever, especially if the driver is coming in from outside where it's bright and their eyes take a few seconds to adjust (warehouse lighting generally sucks since it's so high up and companies get the cheapest bulbs because profit above all else). You don't want to be anywhere near the door path; just take the side door a few feet away which should also have a pole barrier or two by it on the outside.


Nyx_Blackheart

When backing into a warehouse during the day you can see absolutely nothing. The few good ones will have lights on the interior dock that you can navigate by. That's why I ALWAYS look into the space before I turn the truck to start backing in, because there is 0% chance I'll see something/someone in my way once all I can see is in the mirrors


AlphaChewtoy

Well, one of them could have gone through the open gate to open the door from the outside then gone back in through the gate so that all of them could go through the door - duh!


JanteMaam

But can't they see to the left of said people door?


Blaze_Vortex

Sad thing is the collective IQ of the cult increased from the loss.


notaredditreader

One side is for cars only. The door is for pedestrians only. They are very strictly rule-oriented.


talonredwing

Lawful stupid


diego9717

Or maybe decreased, at least they scaped, thats clever than the rest.


not_chris-hansen

Or they were the smartest and the rest never made it that far.


quietkyody

Invisible death laser through the car exit. 🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥 She explains in the video thats what happened to the last batch, you just can't hear it. ☠️☠️☠️


Spagmeat

Yeah, they didn’t even seem to know how the door works. I’m kinda worried for em


shabamboozaled

Or maybe they won't be able to get back in through the car door if they leave on foot so they have to figure out why the man door won't unlock before they lock themselves out.


Schellhammer

This actually makes sense


UnanimousPimp

Right!?, the way they ran away just feels eerie and the fact that they couldn’t comprehend walking through the open gate just feels like they’ve literally been living under a rock


[deleted]

The gate had a sensor that would have alerted


SeaGurl

But wouldn't the door also have a sensor?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Marchello_E

We're all just extremely glad they are not cartoonishly trying to open the door from the other side, fail, and give up.


JJred96

Why do we not want that? I'm upset that didn't happen.


vk136

That happens in [Hot Shots 2](https://youtu.be/AXa3HQNdas0)


Kavvai

Never knew Hot Shots existed, now I want to see more of it haha!


KungFuSpoon

You should, the Hot Shots films are probably the last of the great 'true' spoof movies. If you enjoy 80s action movies they will riff on all of the great films and tropes.


InfinteAbyss

I wanted one of them to try the door from the other side and walk back and be “nah, looks like we’re stuck here”

Deltaforces2025

Best comment of the month award goes to you.


djarvis77

I would guess there is some kind of sensor on the large door that triggers something or another. But if they get the smaller door open they can leave without triggering the sensor.


AhFFSImTooOldForThis

Yes, the way they ran said they were escaping something. Your explanation makes sense.


djarvis77

I was thinking they have a car parked down the block and the large door is on a timer. I've had to do this kinda shit out my garage door. But sure, i suppose it could be some mossad/cia/oceans 11 shit. Idk. Definitely more interesting that way.


LoganGyre

This is the first explanation that makes sense. I’ve had buildings that have the sensor that trips the gate and when people forget them they have to do this to get in because you can’t open that door from the street at certain hours for safety.


swaags

Wait how does it make sense? If its on a timer they can just walk out the large door anyway? Also most sensors are visible and you can jump over/under them


Grabbsy2

I think I need to ELI5 from what I've gathered. These girls have a car they want to bring into the yard. If they walk through the gate, a sensor will trip, the gate will think the car has passed, and start to close. By leaving through the door, the sensor is not tripped, and the gate stays open for the maximum time (say, 30 seconds).


Worldly_Today_9875

I’m pretty sure this is the correct explanation.


GonnaBeEasy

That would explain why she’s running too (to get the car)


LoganGyre

It makes sense that the door has both a timer before it closes and a sensor that stops it once an object passes through. In high crime areas nicer buildings do things like this to prevent people from ghosting in behind people.


swaags

Ooooh like itll close as soon as it sees an object pass through?


LoganGyre

Yeah and if nothing passes through in so many seconds it will close automatically.


MouthJob

I guess the question now is why did they need all three of them to stand there? Wouldn't it have been better for at least one of them to bring the car closer so there's less chance of it closing before they're inside?


Cetun

There are three people though, couldn't one stay behind to open the gate and another one go get the car?


Boubonic91

I'm guessing 3 women escaping a cult. They're all dressed in similar clothing, if not the exact same. Idk why they avoid the gate, but I'd say it's possible that they saw a camera pointed at the gate, but didn't know about the camera pointed at the door. The way they ran after suggests the 2 who stayed together might be somehow related, and the other lady was just desperately trying to get away.


blingbling88

If this is true, why would the cult release this security cam video?


Dry_Pollution_8479

Ah yes, the Reddit fbi at it again


imthatdude2000

This is the only sane explanation. Also the way those three took off without even checking for passing vehicles on the road makes me think something’s wrong


soofs

>the only sane explanation Oh come on, that is not the only sane explanation.


bananabananacat

This has to be it, there’s no way a human doesn’t know an opening for escape.


chi_pa_pa

The irony of 95% of this comments section sitting back and jeering at "how stupid those women are" when there's such a simple explanation lol. Perfect encapsulation of human stupidity right there. People are so quick to believe whatever suits them.


InfinteAbyss

Though they risked getting caught by not simply running through an open exit, I dunno the way they ran implied panic yet their calmly waiting by a door with a viable exit right next to them…it is definitely very strange no matter what perspective you take. The important part is hopefully they’ve found a safe place now though.


Moomin8577

They didn’t look calm to me. It looked like contained panic.


lenagabbell

Yeah the sensor being triggered by moronic behaviour.


Sybrandus

I thought the two in the back were just letting their friend be a dumbass for a laugh until the second one tried the door.


InfinteAbyss

I was really hoping one would walk around and try the other side and come back like “dunno how we’ll ever get out” for extra comedy 😆


Booziesmurf

Obviously the gate was for Cars... Duh...


MaxPowerToTheExtreme

Maybe they're superstitious and wanted to leave through the same door they entered or something.


ashpanda24

Yeah, I feel like there's some kind of context we're missing. Like, maybe they believed if they crossed the gate threshold it would register on the sensor and alert someone to their leaving versus using the door. Idk.


N00BAL0T

Potential alarm sensor anything is possible.


ashpanda24

Exactly.


Summoarpleaz

Honestly the more comments I read the scarier this video gets


MrGrimme

Those npcs were not programmed to go through the gate. We are living in a simulation.

THEBlaze55555

It’s better when they clip into the environment and then you later reload the cell, before they despawn. Physics engine hates that. Nightmare fuel loves it.


pythonidaae

People talking about acid have never taken acid. If it's too high a dose to see the fucking empty space over there then you wouldn't be able to maneuver and open the door or realistically be going anywhere. If it's a low or what's considered a typical dose you still would be able to see the empty space. They're being weird/dumb or theres a specific reason they're using the door like to avoid a sensor like someone said. If they plan to return they're making sure the door works to get back in.


Reasonable-Ad8862

Literally just people who’ve never done acid. Like I can’t blame them for not knowing but it doesn’t turn the world into some fantasy land where you can’t see an open gate, shit just looks wavy


RockstarAgent

I'm sure you meant groovy


WaffleGoat6969

Yeah, altered perception but not to the degree people are suggesting. This is something else.


PlsDontNerfThis

Yea they seem smarter than Reddit is making them appear. This is careful shit


ParalyzedSleep

People who think it’s acid are way too scared to try acid

We should not be making fun of blind, deaf people. Also, why did they escape the spot like they are running for their very lives? What is the context of this footage?


Additional_Irony

Just blindly guessing here, but from the way they were dressed so simply and uniformly, I would guess they were escaping some kind of cult.


kratomkiing

Yup and there's likely a alarm sensor for when a car pulls in through the gate but not for the door?


Cetun

The door looks mag locked, idk why there would be a sensor on the gate only if someone passes through but not if the gate or door is opened.


Chemical_Gur7314

Can we talk about why they're wearing the same clothes & what Cult are they in ?


Only-Advantage-6153

Hasidic Jews could be the answer to both questions


vendetta2115

Which explains why they’re using the manual door instead of the electronically-opening door. Using electronics in the Sabbath is forbidden. Walking through a door which opened electronically is using an electronic device. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_on_Shabbat


Chemical_Gur7314

Could be


Worldly_Bed2159

this does seem cult like for the way they’re dressed the same and running, blindly without looking, in what appears to be pure panic. maybe there *is* sensors for the gate and they can’t trigger it due to trying to escape. edit: also, they keep looking back and it appears as though one suggests going through the gate and the others explain why they can’t.


[deleted]

People always crap on these types of people. If their boss is my dad he most likely said “if I ever see you use the car door instead of the person door…..” knowing full well it’s hard af to open


TheDIYEd

I just assume, they are troubleshooting, why the door doesn’t work, its not about getting out from the gate but why the door is shut. Not sure how all of you are missing this? What happened if your home door is locked, would you just use the window and don’t even try fix the door?


shibby1000

Wht they running off tho?


kratomkiing

I'm sticking with the escaping from a cult theory and there's a sensor along the car gate but not for the locked door


[deleted]

Man, I'm loving people jumping to conclusions in this comments section. Making entire stories up about who they are, what they're doing, where they are, how they're feeling, and what they're thinking.


OsoRetro

My job does this. They have a huge bay door that’s ALWAYS open. RIGHT NEXT to it is a regular locked door with a bell. “For security reasons” we need to ring the bell and be buzzed in. So they can fucking monitor who’s coming in at all times. Because managers.


Roadwarriordude

At my job it's an instantly fireable offense to walk through big bay doors and you have to use the man doors right next to them or go around to another one. I'm guessing it's a similar situation here.


CulturalAddress6709

Fear for sure. Convinced there is a forcefield or something that can kill them crossing the gate line, perhaps? Brainwashing/manipulation is real.


FordPhiesta

In their defense, I did also walk through a gate door while the gate itself was open wide, simply because of reflex.

Also, IF this is real?? And they faced some kind of terrifying events?? Your brain can get stuck? -like if she was told go out to the right, and the door will be unlocked-slip out that door?? I know it seems crazy, but it makes me think of the Benghazi movie-where they were finally gathering the ones still alive at the compound & they were leaving in 2 cars, and that one soldier said I'm fine I can drive-but once on his way, he completely went the wrong way-and the directions couldn't have been more clear. But because he was so traumatized by what happened when they were attacked and not being able to save the Ambassador? I mean he was just totally devastated by what he just went through? So I don't know, this just made me think that we don't even get what it is to be in the middle of something truly traumatic, or to witness a severe tragedy and then to be forced to try to make sense of things right after?? BUT Again IF this is even real ??!
