[Nfb-krafters-korner] elevator accidents, this is not for the faint of heart to read

Mon Aug 24 22:21:15 UTC 2009

About a year or so ago my husbands nephew was installing windows 
in a building which was still under construction.  One of the 
other construction men stepped into the elevator on the sixth 
floor but there was no elevator.  He fell to his death in a pit 
in the basement.  Ed's nephew Jake used to be a paramedic and 
jumped down into the pit to help him but there was hardly 
anything left of his body.  The elevator system was not 
completely installed but they were using it manually.
