Down the Shaft!

Dreamin'Demon- An impatient 40-year-old man known only as “Mr. Lee” plunged to his death down an elevator shaft at a shopping center last August after getting all testy because a woman inside the elevator failed to hold the door for him.

As the attached video shows, Mr. Lee bumped the elevator doors with his scooter as they slammed shut in his face. Mr. Lee attempted to recall the elevator by pressing the button a few times. When that didn’t work, he threw the scooter into reverse, backed it up a bit, and proceeded to ram into the doors at full speed. Though he left a good-sized dent in the cheap ass doors and loosened ‘em up a bit, they remained closed.

Perhaps thinking that the third time’s the charm, he backed it up and hit the throttle again. This time, the flimsy doors didn’t hold. Oopsie!! He and the scooter made a hard landing about 19 feet down. Officials at the shopping center have since vowed to strengthen the doors of the lifts to ensure such a thing never happens again.
