If I had plenty of water going in for 5 days I might attempt it for 4.1 mil but not without H2O. Not having food or light or company for 5 days would be hellish but doing it without water is too risky.
I'm glad the guy got paid for the incompetence that almost killed him.

Yeah if I had water it wouldn't be so bad, a toilet would also help (as long as its not the source for water )

exactly... if u had some sort of H2O then it would be a whole different ball park not to mention after day 2 he prob thought he was gonna stay there till death.
the equivalent is someone kidnapping you and locking you in a room without food or water , after 5 days the guy comes back and says DUDE U PASSED THE TEST HERES UR CHECK.

He should have gotten closer to 100 million. This is straight up torture of the worst kind. This guy thought he was going to die in there. I could easily see something like this driving the person insane.

100mil is a lot of money, granted the DEA should have its entire budget stripped for thousands of reasons

And people who say they're down to do this for the money, he almost 'thirsted' to death. come on

If some = most, yes.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

I would be this first mother fucker to go, I had a amoeba parasite in my stomach and a tape worm at one time months ago. I'm skinny too, so I would fucking die like day 2 in there. It's sad cause some people like me would just have no damn chance. He's very lucky to have made it out alive. And 4million dollars is not enough. The Elite spend 4 million dollars in a vacation, I think he should've got Ike 10 or 15 million to make sure his family is taken care of in the future, but no the governement has to skin off a little portion. Imagine if this was a white girl in there. She would've got more then 4 million. There needs to be a clean house day for DEA. Get people in there who actually respect human life.

A college student mistakenly left in a Drug Enforcement Administration interrogation room for five days will receive $4.1 million from the government in a settlement in advance of a lawsuit.
The settlement was announced Tuesday in San Diego by the student, Daniel Chong, 25, and his lawyer, Eugene Iredale.
"It was an accident, a really bad, horrible accident," said Chong, who added that he now suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.
The bizarre event in April 2012 began when Chong, an engineering student at UC San Diego, went to a house near campus to smoke marijuana with friends and found himself swept up in a DEA raid.
After being questioned briefly at the DEA facility in San Diego, he was told he would be released. But, for reasons that remain unclear, he was left for five days in a 5-by-10-foot windowless room without food, water or toilet facilities.
He suffered hallucinations and was forced to drink his urine to survive. He screamed for help.
Fearing he would die, he broke his glasses and scrawled the message, “Sorry, mom” on his arm.
When he was discovered by DEA employees, he was covered in his own feces and severely dehydrated. He was rushed to a hospital, close to kidney failure and breathing with difficulty. He spent five days in the hospital.
Days later, a top DEA official apologized to Chong and ordered an “extensive review” of DEA procedures.
“I extend my deepest apologies [to] the young man and want to express that this event is not indicative of the high standards that I hold my employees to,” said William R. Sherman, who was acting special agent in charge of the DEA’s San Diego Division.
No charges were filed against Chong, whose attorney had said he intended to file a $20-million lawsuit against the federal government.

God damn right you owe him $4.5 million. 5 days without food? Psshhh, I've done a 3 day fast. I know 5 days will leave you weak etc. but no big deal
5 days without water? You can live that long without water? Well I suppose so, but I was under the impression that, well you know that something like this would happen kidney failure difficulty breathing. Without water it's not just that you dry up and die, that your blood gets thick, but your ph goes to shit, your body can't transport nutrients, the nutrients in your body need water as a chemical reaction to renew your energy, etc.

The weirdest and worst parts weren't mentioned in this article.
If you look at this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incarceration_of_Daniel_Chong#Incident You'll see that he found a bag of meth in the cell that he used to stay awake and that he attempted suicide by breaking his glasses, cutting his wrists, and swallowing the glass shards.

I don't think think some of you realize that it wasn't the 5 days of sitting there that traumatized him. It was the fact that he thought he was going to die there, he didn't know they were going to open it after 5 days. The fact that it was the DEA that locked him there would have also made it a lot worse.

Well, the article did say he went to a house to smoke marijuana...He probably ate about 5,000 potato chips before being arrested.
