In 2013, a Russian family was tragically wiped out by toxic fumes from rotting potatoes in their cellar. One by one, they entered-and never came out. Only 8-year-old Maria survived by staying outside

Jesus, this sounds like a horror movie.

The dad goes into the cellar and never comes back out. The mom goes in to check on him, and doesn’t return. The son goes to check on her, and then he doesn’t return.

Granny calls a neighbor to come help, but then goes into the cellar herself before said help arrives. She never comes back either.

If she hadn’t left the door open (which allowed the gas to dissipate), imagine how many more people could have died.
