An emergency exit sign inside of a building is designed with the soul purpose to direct people out of an area safely, and are usually put in place in preparation should a premises need to be vacated promptly. That is of course providing that said building doesn't happen to be in China.
This Live Leak video, uploaded at the end of December, shows the bizarre moment when folk decided to take a dander through some exit doors, and found themselves in a small enclosed space. As it turned out, the doors are merely there for decorative purposes.
The video, which appears to be shot at a shopping centre, has been viewed over 300,000 times and has received several hundred shares on both Facebook and Twitter.
We can only imagine the sheer havoc that would ensue if ever an emergency did actually break out.
Fake Emergency Exit doors... we'd really love to meet the person that thought they would be a good idea.
