MAN FALLS TO HIS DEATH
IN LIFT ACCIDENT
The Times of India reported in September that a security
guard from Thane fell eight stories to his death after an
attempt to jump out of a stuck elevator in a residential
tower. According to residents of the building, the man
was stuck in the elevator between the eighth and ninth
floors before he fell more than 70 feet. A resident added
that the man did not press the alarm button inside the lift
but instead opened the doors himself and jumped. Fire
officials did not know the cause of the elevator’s malfunction
but said that it may have developed a mechanical
problem. The lift is said to have safety plans in place to
reduce this type of malfunction if passengers stay in the
elevator and wait for rescue officials. This is the second
incident in Thane in which a passenger died jumping to a
lower floor from a stuck elevator.
