Office lifts descended from the 27th floor to the 19th floor and 4 people were trapped for more than 20 minutes

As usual, by 12:00 noon, He Chengyi, who is working on the 27th floor, is ready to take the elevator down to eat. But at noon yesterday, the meal was postponed due to an accident.

At noon yesterday, the elevator of the B building of a hotel on Xiangfu East Road landed in an instant - descending from the 27th floor to the 19th floor. After 20 minutes, the elevator door was opened and 4 people were rescued. One of the disabled was dizzy, etc. Symptoms were taken to the hospital. Accidents in the elevator, how to divide the responsibility? The lawyer analyzed five situations.

Scene: The elevator immediately descends from the 27th floor to the 19th floor

He Chengyu introduced that around 12:08 noon, he walked into the 27-story elevator and stood still. Along with him, Xiao Fu Jinlong, Liu Junke with a disability in the leg, and Fu Yingchun also took the elevator.

Fu Yingchun pressed the button to close the door and the elevator door was closed. The elevator slammed and quickly dropped. The lights in the elevator were all turned off, and the lights on the floor were not bright. "At that time I instinctively bent my knee." He Chengyu said.

Suddenly facing the elevator crash, Liu Junke was caught off guard. "My right leg was on a prosthetic leg. Because of a sharp drop, one foot couldn't stand still. Then I sat down on the floor."

The scene was a panic. Xiao Fu Jinlong recalls that Fu Yingchun pressed an emergency alarm and the lights in the elevator were on, but he still did not know which layer he was on. After more than 20 minutes, the staff of the Changsha Red Star Junhe Property Management Company opened the door. He then found himself on the 20th floor above the chest and on the 19th floor below the chest. Due to Liu Chunke's dizziness, chest tightness and other symptoms, he was sent to the hospital for examination.

Response: The property company will check the investigation as soon as possible

The staff of the property company's engineering department introduced the provincial special equipment inspection center on March 6 to check the elevator and pass the inspection. Ye Wending, general manager of the property company, said that he has contacted the elevator maintenance unit and will check and check it as soon as possible.

Xiao Fu Jinlong told reporters that a few days ago, several of his company’s colleagues also suffered downgrading. At that time, there were only two floors. Now he is very worried about the safety of the elevator. "How can the safety of our employees and customers be protected?"

At present, a "No Entry" warning sign has appeared on the first floor of the hotel.
