30 y/o Tech Sales Executive, Samuel Waisbren from Wisconsin was horrifically killed after an ELEVATOR crushed him to death!!

He was walking into the lobby of the luxury Manhattan Promenade building in the morning when the Elevator suddenly dropped and plunged towards the building's basement.

He was killed as the top of the elevator crashed down on him effectively crushing him between the wall of the shaft and the lift

One man had alrady walked into the lobby ahead of him but 5 others were still inside the elevator when it hurled downward. They were uninjured

He came from Milwaukee but lived in NYC for 6 years

The luxury building he lived in leased for 3600 a month

His father, Chris said his son had recently complained about elevator problems there

The Manhattan Promenade was fined nearly $1300 in May after inspectors found a safety issue on one of the elevators that was either tampered with or disabled

Charles said "My feeling about New York is you pay a bazillion dollars for rent, the least they could do is provide safety"

The devastated father told New York Dailey News that it would be hard to keep on living without his son who he described as a smart and very very sensitive man

One resident of the building said there was constant issues with the elevators and said it was "super scary" as they always jump between floors and said it was like halloween horror nights

Others are now taking the stairs as they were too traumatized over the death

FDNYH Deputy Chief, Anthony Arpaia revealed the gruesome details of the death and said his body was sort of stuck between the first floor and the basement as other passengers were on that lift horrified

A security footage captured the entire horrifying accident as an employee said that Waisbren tried to put his hand out to pervent the door from closing as the elevator went down

The employee said "Like jumping out of a car if it's still moving"

There will now be an ivestigation by police as a building spokesman told Dailmal that they are aggressively going after this but said elevators are the safest form of travel in New York due to the city's stringent inspection and safety requirements

Do elevators scare you?

This. In my experience with elevators there is usually a decent amount of room underneath the elevator enough to sit downor stand up once the elevator is on the first floor. Also, why wasn't the elevator shut down for maintenance while he worked on it?

I still don't get how he was crushed. He stuck his hand out as the door was closing (which I never do nor should anyone) and it went down? Wouldn't that just result in his arm being severed.

@EternalDivide

I just watched video. He essentially killed him self not paying attention and elevator doing something crazy.

It got to first floor, and as it opens he starts to walk out. Then it dropped to next floor while door is completely open.

Instead of jumping back inside, he instinctually tries to go out door... while elevator is dropping...

The roof squishes him like bug as he is not moving holding door frame and massive super heavy elevator goes straight down.

Live**** (Maybe it's modable to say the name) has the video.

It's on the building owners and they should be sued into oblivion. But the fool tries to step up and out of the descending elevator and gets folded in half front ways and sucked between the two sets of doors butt first. Arms and legs above.
Edit: Was typing this up while you posted it. Yeah, it's going to be on the owners but realistically he's at least 50% to blame for his own death. Why the hell would you do that?

Damn it bros, look at those pics. I can tell he was a great dude just by looking at them

I really am afraid of elevators, escalators especially. And now after this, i think Im probably going to use them even less than I already do...thats just too horrific

I hope his father sues them and gains every penny. Honestly, they had like a million complaints beforehand ffs......

He made a split-second decision and obviously it was not the right one. It said he'd been complaining about the elevator for awhile, so him trying to step out was probably a "oh not this bullshit again" reaction. That's scary as fuck

Elevators shouldnt do that. Youre being ridiculous saying that.

Dude got folded up like a lawn chair. Yeeeesh!

I assumed he was stuck like halfway through and got choked out, but this was way worse.


Could even see his head next to his feet as he got snatched down with the elevator. Blood and guts dont bother me but seeing a body just get completely destroyed like that legit disturbed me.

He definitely knows how lucky he is there. He even had a backpack or something on that could easily have gotten snagged (I think, not watching that video again). And yeah... everyone that witnessed that with their own two eyes is probably traumatized for life.
