On Wednesday December 14, 2011, 41 year old, Suzanne Hart was stepping into an elevator at the midtown office in New York. When she placed one foot in the elevator the elevator went up, it dragged her she was between the wall and elevator she died a few moments after. Two passengers were in the elevator but they were trapped they weren’t able to do anything. The entire building was evacuated.Investigators could not figure out what made the elevator to act up. Employees were told to work home. According to the spokes man, Tony Sclafani, “this particular elevator was inspected in June 2011 and no safety issues were found at the time, and no conditions were found that would be related to this accident. “He added. There have been many violations issued against the building’s 13 elevators in recent years, but all were for administrative or non hazardous conditions. This was one of the biggest stories in the past few months.
I think that the elevator should of been fixed, if they knew something was wrong with it they should of also thought of the safety of everyone that comes and goes in that building. If it was me that was a witness in the elevator I would have sued them for me to go through something like that but especially If I was hurt. This was one of the biggest stories in the past few months.
