Horrific just doesn't quite capture that one.

Otis is gonna get sued.

Don't think I've ever even heard of that happening before. Horrific is right.

Seems like there have been several NYC elevator accidents in recent years -- product of the bad economy?

I am afraid of elevators and escalators. I simply use the stairs.

hopefully not another case of non inspection due to alternative agreement.. (cash in newspaper handed to inspector)
i remember a rash of crane issues a few years back.

Sounds like either a faulty door failsafe switch.

Yeah, me too. I got stuck on an escalator for three hours once when the power went out.

...They are stairs...I dont like them because I have a fear of getting a shoe lace or something caught. As for elevators, I got stuck in once..twice. Which is why I dont like them. Granted I was only stuck for a few minutes both times but was enough to freak me out.

It seems that when things go bad on an escalator, it turns out pretty gruesome.
The older I get, the more aware I am as I enter and exit them.
