'Lift Horror' (from the newspaper)

From my local paper, the Press & Journal:

"A Texas hospital worker was trapped in a lift with a
severed head for 20 minutes after a freak accident this
week. The woman saw Dr. Hitoshi Nikaidoh, 35, enter the
elevator before the doors suddenly closed pinning his
shoulders. The lift shot up, cutting his head off. Dr.
Nikaidoh planned to become a Christian missionary."

nice stuff, eh?

geezus. could you imagine the fear in those few seconds when
you're stuck?
bloody awful.

there's this old dutch film called 'de lift' (you guessed
it: 'the lift') and its one of the scariest i've ever seen.

shit... I've got a semi-phobia or automatic doors.

I was about to get on the train at Newcastle station, to
come back down to london, and this girl was saying her
goodbyes to her family and wouldn't go in the damn door. As
i stepped onto the train the door started to slide shut - it
hit my neck and then reopened... i was shaking for the next
15minutes :-/

I was on the tube in London once and I felt this push from
behind as this woman rushed to get in before the doors shut.
But the stupid bitch wasn't quick enough and got her arm
locked in the doors. She fuckin shit herself haha. Me and
this bloke had to pry the doors open so she could get he arm
out. She was almost hyper-ventilating for about 5 minutes
afterwards.

She should have just waited for the next train. I bet she
never did that again in a hurry though.

That sounds just like the bit in Final Destination 2.

Backpackers usually gimpingly get on the tube unaware their
backpack is still outside. You can just sit and watch as
they get trapped and freak out, it's pretty funny.

It happened in a hospital a few blocks from where I work.
The lady was trapped with the guy's head in the lift for 15
min before firefighters could get the lift going again and
her out.

I was wondering what exactly caused the lift to malfunction?
Did his body remain outwith the lift, in its original
position? Or did it (or some of it) clog up the machinery?

That is damned funny. I've only seen it happen once, but it
made me chuckle.

i was on a trolly in Rome... and this older lady was getting
off, but she was ending a conversation with her friend on
the trolly... so she was standing in the door.

the driver said get off, but she ignored him, and kept
finishing her conversation... so he closed the doors on her.
she was screaming so much, it scared the crap out of her.
everyone on the trolly laughed and she jumped off cussing

it was great

Yep, I believe Joyrex was referring to the actual article I
quoted.

I like escalators.

An escalator can never break, it can only become stairs.
