Some pics, which aren't too awful at the link.

A bit of dark weird news to start off a sunny Sunday morning. Being in a wheel chair is tough, but... Temper, temper.

Police said the accident was caused by Mr Lee’s anger at the woman not holding the door for him.

Is it just me or do quite a few handicapped persons seem to have this attitude?

And why is this being called an accident? The person in question purposefully attempted to make a piece of machinery do what it was not supposed to do, succeeded, and unfortunately perished. Would this have made the news if an able-bodied person had done the same thing?

The Korean man

I'm guessing North.

Wow. Talk about a case of “pride goeth before the fall”.

[umgud]

This is an open and shut case......

Shopping centre officials have vowed to strengthen the doors of the lifts to ensure the accident is never repeated.

Has the whole damn world gone Americanized sappy? I kinda agree that the doors must have been pretty flimsy, but why is the first reaction to protect people from the foreseeable consequences of their own stew-pid-iddy?

One, two, three
Look at Mr. Lee
Three, four, five
Look at him dive

Oh, Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee...

The conspiracy of buildings. Be careful out there!

Here's the video.

I am a big fan of Korean cinema and have seen nearly 50 of their movies. The thing that captivates me is the absolute juxtaposition of the prim and proper way in which they conduct themselves 99% of the time, the impeccable cleanliness of their homes and cities, and then the way it vanishes in a split second because a fight breaks out. I don’t think I have seen a movie-serious dramas included-where someone doesn’t double kick someone in the chest.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

I don't know how they handle something like this in South Korea but here in America lawyers would be busy getting in touch with the deceased man's family. The object being to show them how they can benefit from suing the store and the woman in the elevator, for 40% of the award.

You have no idea. He most likely already contemplated the results of his actions and was fine with his early demise.

[Erasmus]

Makes you wonder if some prior stupidity was why he was in a wheelchair.

[RichInOC]

But what inquiring minds want to know is...did he make it to his floor?

[RichInOC]

No, really, this sounds like something that could feature both on the Darwin Awards and FML.com.
