See Man Crushed By Elevator In NYC
 

Graphic but no blood or gore. Apparently the elevators were in rough shape years ago and were fixed.

Lawyers must be scrambling to find his family to sue the building management.

I read that the elevator was avoided by many residents due to strange noises, always being stuck for hours and shaky elevators not stopping at the right level.

His family may get millions of dollars but he died a horrible death. I’d not touch blood money.

$3,600/month rent and they can’t fix an elevator. Thirty-year-old guy paid so much and ended up paying with his life.

This story really bothers me because the management company will be fined and that’s it. Should the city be liable for not following up to see if the problems were resolved or just the management company?

City will say not enough personnel. DeBlasio will be blamed for lack of funding. Meanwhile, the father lost his only child.


The dad said his son had complained to his parents about elevator problems in the building, where one-bedrooms rent for $3,600 per month.

“My feeling about New York is you pay a bazillion dollars for rent, the least they could do is provide safety,” the victim’s father said.

The building’s management company, ATA Enterprises, did not return calls for comment.

City Building Department records show problems with a safety device on the elevator next to the one where Waisbren died. Inspectors discovered the problem May 29, and it hadn’t been resolved as of Thursday

That was pretty hardcore for a no-gore vid. Bro folded like a flip phone.

Sad how everyone covers their eyes and turns away - also 5 people were in the elevator stuck with a dead man

Yep. No way out, no rescuers, just blinding pain and then peace. The five people there were traumatized for life and will probably never get on an elevator again.

I’m still torn between the city and building owners for blame.

Those people will probably have PTSD.

Shitty way to go.

fckng crazy shit, sad to go out that way, dude was probably just heading out for a Starbucks
