Yes, but you write cogent sentences.
There’s no place for you in modern journalism.

Thanks, much more coherent.

The screaming was from a witness.

I’m guessing she died a gruesome death and the person writing the story didn’t know how to report it.

I wonder how many stories are finished by machines? Often they make no sense in any other way.

I agree the article is a mess.


Think how bad it must have been before the editor got ahold of it..........................

Most local TV news sites have atrociously written news articles. I think they have their interns write them.

Possible deciphering of the article:

She was loading something too heavy for the elevator, so it stopped and the object fell on her. Or maybe it it was not too heavy but it fell on her and the impact caused the elevator to stop.

I can think mod other possibilities, but the article needs to be rewritten.

I used to write for TV news. What happens is you have a rough script usually hastily-assembled, and then you work it out with the video people and the newsreader and put it together. A lot of times the person or people doing the station website would just take our rough script and put it up on the web. That’s likely close to what happened here. I hope. :)

“a gentlemen who was in distress screaming and hyperventilating and saying she’s dead, she’s dead,”

A manly man.

"Emergency crews flooded the area outside the building ..."

I thought she drowned.

I’m still interested in Elisa Lam’s 2013 elevator ride...

I believe you, but I haven’t watch the news on TV in years. I don’t think I’m missing anything.

“She heard a woman in distress and tried to help her out as a neighbor”

“The lady was trying to put a package into the elevator, like that’s how we do it”

Police later removing a large and long brown box from the building.”

It’s like listening to a Joe Biden speech.

Reading another site, it says she was trying to get a package in the elevator when it suddenly fell to the first floor, taking her with it. We can surmise she was injured in the fall, or by being crushed at the outset, leading to lung or throat damage, followed by asphyxiation.

Horrible any way you slice it, but this article is an abject mess done by a 3rd grader.
