When Michael Winter found no one to take care of his goldfish, he knew he had no choice but to bring him to where he would spend his summer: to Newfoundland.
Upon his arrival over at Pearson airport, Michael knew that we would have a long time negotiating with the airport officials to allow his goldfish on board, and so he told people behind him that they “might be better off in another line.”
Security took one look at the goldfish bowl on the conveyor belt and said, “No, no, you can’t bring a fish on board.” I said there was nothing in the regulations about a live fish. The line was halted and a manager fetched, who sized up the situation and also said no. We continued up the chain in this way until the person who, I think, built the airport security system came and agreed with me that, technically, I was allowed to bring the goldfish on board.
Onboard the plane, some crazy things happened while Michael was fast asleep, and the goldfish would end up co-piloting the flight.

But yes, if the situation was a serious one and not set up like the one in the video I would sure push it. Roughly three people die every second around the world, what's the difference if it turns into four people for one second?

KIDDING!
Are there no original ideas left in the world?

But would you really enjoy your money and feel so great knowing that you have actually killed someone for it? Maybe a child? Or someone really nice?
How happy do you think you would become through money alone?
The killing part makes the money too bitter to really enjoy it, I think.
But I am sure that there are many people out there who would not care to push the button several times. Well, actually there people have been killed face to face for much less.
If the guy dont take the key he's stuck inside the room forever so the money would be useless to him since he can't even spend it.
Meh!
I couldn't even imagine what it would be like to know that I killed another human being. Even if that person was vile and evil and deserved to die, I would still feel weird knowing that they died by my hands... ya know?
But you also can ask yourself "Do I know myself, or am I a Stranger to myself, too?"
So you probably kill yourself by pressing the button. And even if it's an even chance for everyone (round about 1:6 billion) the probability of gaining the 10 million - or even more - by a lotto jackpot (without killing anyone) is far more at your side.
greez, me
(sorry for bad english)
I totally agree, I too hate killing bugs, I could never have killed a random human being, even if they gave me 500 mill U.S.D I couldn't have done it.
I have less respect for an anonymous killer than a public one, and I think that those who would press the button are probably jaded about the worth of a human life because their own lives are so miserable.
