[L.A.Justice]

RIP...

What a horrible accident...It reminds me of the movie THE FINAL DESTINATION...In that movie, people avoid death once but eventually they end up getting killed...I watched sequels as well...

I guess she put the box in the elevator then the elevator suddently went down...Cable failure?

I think the building owner better get ready for the wrongful death lawsuit...

I do use elevator every day...I think elevators are safe most of time...

I don't think elevator repair people ever have to worry about not having work...I think those people are busy all the time...I am sure they are paid well...

Even if cables break there are auxiliary cables that brake when detecting freefall. This is very odd. Elevators are designed to be safe.

O’Connor was a French lecturer in the school’s Romance Studies Department.

One less D vote. RIP

This article is barely coherent.

What happened?

She put a package onto the elevator, and...?

[Chgogal]

When was the last time there was such a catastrophic evelvator failure?

[Seruzawa]

It’s very difficult to tell what happened from this very poorly written article.

>>>Her cause of death has been ruled as traumatic asphyxia, and officials confirmed it was accidental<<<

I think “traumatic asphyxia” means more than people think it does, especially the “traumatic” part.

[Ann Archy]

WHO can ake heads or tails out if this story??? So poorly told, I have NO idea what happened.

[rktman]

Trump’s fault.

There was an “Alfred Hitchcock Hour” TV show I recently saw where an elevator has an improtant role.

Worth watching: “The Trap” (1965)

All those words, and no explanation as to how it happened. What passes for journalism these days is atrocious.

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

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.

“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.

[Seruzawa]

Whatever happened it’s a terrible thing to happen to anyone. Unless they are Antifa or ChiComm, etc.

[VastRWCon]

New episode of 1,000 ways to die.

[Drew68]

It reminds me of the movie THE FINAL DESTINATION

Thinking the same thing. This is the type of horrific accident that probably kills one person a century.

[CGASMIA68]

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

This is one of those articles where reading between the lines is needed.

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.
