Board 8 > 30 y/o is HORRIFICALLY KILLED after an ELEVATOR Crushed him..with PEOPLE INSIDE.

(+) Yeah! (+)

30 y/o Tech Sales Executive, Samuel Waisbren from Wisconsin was horrifically killed after an ELEVATOR crushed him to death!!

He was walking into the lobby of the luxury Manhattan Promenade building in the morning when the Elevator suddenly dropped and plunged towards the building's basement.

He was killed as the top of the elevator crashed down on him effectively crushing him between the wall of the shaft and the lift

One man had already walked into the lobby ahead of him but 5 others were still inside the elevator when it hurled downward. They were uninjured

He came from Milwaukee but lived in NYC for 6 years

The luxury building he lived in leased for 3600 a month

His father, Chris said his son had recently complained about elevator problems there

The Manhattan Promenade was fined nearly $1300 in May after inspectors found a safety issue on one of the elevators that was either tampered with or disabled..

Charles said "My feeling about New York is you pay a bazillion dollars for rent, the least they could do is provide safety"

The devastated father told New York Daily News that it would be hard to keep on living without his son who he described as a smart and very very sensitive man...

One resident of the building said there was constant issues with the elevators and said it was "super scary" as they always jump between floors and said it was like halloween horror nights

Others are now taking the stairs as they were too traumatized over the death

FDNY Deputy Chief, Anthony Arpaia revealed the gruesome details of the death and said his body was sort of stuck between the first floor and the basement as other passengers were on that lift horrified

A security footage captured the entire horrifying accident as an employee said that Waisbren tried to put his hand out to prevent the door from closing as the elevator went down

The employee said "Like jumping out of a car if it's still moving"

There will now be an ivestigation by police as a building spokesman told Dailmal that they are aggressively going after this but said elevators are the safest form of travel in New York due to the city's stringent inspection and safety requirements

Do elevators scare you?

I don't really understand what happened.

It took a while for me to figure it out. The article was worded horribly. Basically, the guy who was killed was riding in the elevator with 6 other people. It stopped at the lobby. One guy got out, then as the guy who was killed started walking out, the elevator plunged to the basement, effectively severing him in half.

Thats literally a nightmare

If he was severed, I don't understand the "stuck between two floors" part.... like he was on two floors??

The person writing had to be careful to not be too graphic...

Like his body was pulled into that crack and so the remains were sandwiched between the two floors (sandwiched between the elevator and the inside of the shaft)? I dunno. Sounds fucking horrific any way you think about it.

Theres video footage of it on the NY Post

Its not gory, but its incredibly graphic.
