Few years back, maybe 2 I checked and Elv and Escalator jobs were very secure and highly sought after.
Looks like it hasn’t changed much. Get on with OTIS/UTC or another big corp and just show up, your golden

Whatever happened to people that could write a coherent, sensible story?
They went to college and down hill from there
No, I was thinking that as I was reading through it. I was glad to see somebody else had the same reaction.
A possible explanation is that this is a transcription of the reporter blathering on the scene. They almost always sound stupid and disorganized.
“They went to college and down hill from there”
LOL. Then they joined BLM/antifa and all they can do now is screech “F the police. All police are bas&$%@ds, OMG, OMG. Police! I need the police. Medic! Medic! OMG, OMG.”
Way too much information.
Poor soul.
1. She died of asphyxia in a elevator.
2. The elevator was between the basement and first floor.
3. The article is vaguely written when it does not have to be.
It sounds like the elevator failed when she was in the door way, and it fell on her and trapped her.
News writers often leave off gruesome details out of respect for the dead and their families.
That’s more or less my take.
The original writer and the editor need to be introduced to the fine art of ditch digging.
“Way too much information.”
Hence the vague way this article danced around the description of her accidental death.
The guy that found her had to be taken to the hospital because he was in shock.
The elevator I used to ride every day was over a year past the expiration of the last inspection.
Her loved ones must be crushed.
She was also a Hokie
Another possibility —
I work with movers a lot. They will hold or keep pressing the “door open” button to get as much furniture and boxes loaded into the elevator as they can fit.
On some older elevators, if you hold or keep pressing the button too long, a little alarm will sound and the doors will close and sometimes will NOT bounce back, even if you wave your arm in from of them, like they usually will do. If you’re in the way, it’s very scary!
There is a red “hold” button in newer elevators, which works better, you still get the alarm but the doors don’t close.
So She survives Basic Alligator Training & Reptile Husbandry in Louisiana and ends up getting taken out by a Box and an Elevator!?!?!? Maybe She should have taken Mechanical Engineering 101 & an EMS/EMT Course... RIP
that is the WORST written article i’ve read in years...
Yeah, if those are the standards these days I really could have flunked English and done a better job than these dipsticks.
I avoid elevators.
Last summer was hell because of Himself being in hospitals.
Eek.
