The woman, 70, was hoisted in a large yellow net by FDNY paramedics from her Fifth Avenue home and rushed to St. Luke’s Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition.
“Firemen came down and measured the elevator door,” the building doorman said. “She would not have been able to get out of the door.”

Could have also been family. What passes for a family these days — well, it’s not like the family I have.
No pun intended.
Does remind me of a joke though.....
Midgets and dwarfs have little in common.
How did she live to 70 at that weight?
nobody 900 lbs can be stable.
She was probably eating a lot of that surplus gobmint cheese that comes in big, 5-pound blocks.
Now we know where Hillary hides to get her Ben & Jerry’s fix.
Think the enablers of people like this are as needy as the one they are enabling.
Today I was in a Habitat ReStore. Saw two bariatric PVC pipe commode chairs - about three feet wide. No slot for a slide in receptacle - I suppose you put a big bucket under the chair. Surprisingly standard sized opening in the seat - although protrusion would be a problem with bigger.
And that is a whole lot more than either of us wanted to picture.

Been a long time since I had a slice, but that govt cheese is good cheese.
Hey NYFD, Seaworld called, Shamu needs his transport net back.
Wouldn’t it have been easier to remove her in pieces rather than intact?
I’ with you. All of these people who get this big have enablers.
The things they say about why they enable are such lies and are so self serving.
Yeah, the lady is out of the apartment, but now the hospital has a problem. The hospital really has not resources for someone that big.
Where do you get a toilet seat strong enough not to break under 900 pounds?
I think we the taxpayers may have contributed to her state in more ways than one.
One of my daughters - now a cop in a Western city - was a paramedic in Yonkers. She always said that they heavier they were; the higher up they lived.
But I think her biggest whale was a 600 pound guy, and they were actually able to get about 6 firemen to carry him down the stairs from the 5th floor, not an easy feat, since these buildings have narrow stairwells and not much landing.
The family had kept the guy fattened up by bringing him buckets of fried chicken and pies when he was unable to get out of bed anymore. I wasn’t sure how he managed to go to the bathroom, but maybe I don’t want to know...
How do they get her back IN the apartment?
If she couldn’t go through a front door, then she couldn’t go through a bathroom door. I’d hate to see (or smell) what her bedroom was like.
You’d think 910 lbs would look larger...
I just can’t understand how people get so big that they can’t even leave their house or apartment. It has to be a miserable existence.
