A resident of the American city of Boston, Massachusetts, died while trying to transport a huge box in an elevator. This is reported by the Daily Star.
On September 14, 38-year-old Boston University lecturer Carrie O’Connor was about to shove a two-meter box into the elevator of an apartment building she had moved to a few weeks earlier.
One of the tenants of the building helped her to bring the box into the staircase and gave her the lift, while he began to climb the stairs. “Be careful, because you have to open the door, then enter the cockpit yourself and press the button. If something is inside the elevator, a sensor may be triggered, ”he warned.
The doors of the 60-year-old lattice elevator installed in the building were closed by hand. O’Connor pushed a 36-kg load into an elevator car on the first floor of the building and accidentally hit the door closing sensor with it. At this time, a worker on the basement floor pressed the call button and the elevator began to descend with the doors open.
O’Connor dropped the box, which jumped off the switch and stopped the elevator from falling. But when the American took the load again, the cabin began to descend again. The woman could not stay on her feet and fell back into the elevator shaft between the first and the basement of the building. Her body was trapped between the cabin and the wall.
Residents of the house found O’Connor’s lifeless body. An autopsy revealed that traumatic asphyxia was the cause of her death. The man who found the body of the deceased was hospitalized with mental trauma.
Earlier it was reported that in the Chinese city of Xi’an, Shaanxi province, two pensioners survived for four days in a stuck elevator in a private house. On the fourth day, they still managed to push the doors so wide that the youngest of them climbed out and called for help.
