(CNN) A 30-year-old man was crushed to death Thursday by an elevator at a New York high-rise, police said.

 

The man was pinned by the elevator between the basement and first floor of a building on Third Avenue on the East Side of Manhattan, said Det. Sophia Mason, a police spokeswoman.

 

Emergency medical personnel pronounced the man dead at the scene after a 911 call, Mason said.

I give him high marks for trying to start from the bottom though. That's pluck by God, pluck.

Feel bad for the people that were tapped on the elevator with half his corpse, it’s backward enough to be stuck on a trapped elevator with people you don’t know.

Talk about bad timing....  About 2-3 seconds of bad luck.

Uh uhh... nope, not watchin' that.

[Girdwood 118]

For those of us that aren’t watching that video, can someone explain how this happened? 

Asking for a friend of course.

Sounds like the worst timing in his life. He was existing the elevator door way, as it suddenly dropped a floor or so.  That kind of thing shouldn't be able to happen ever.

[Your Mom 4,819]

There was a guy in Houston beheaded in similar fashion a decade or so ago.  He stuck his head in to say something and the doors closed.  He was stuck there when the car went up or down a floor.  Body stayed on the original floor, head went with the elevator.  I think a lady was stuck in the car with his head for quite some time.

I think about that every single time I enter an elevator, and I don't fuck around with the doors.

I don't think you grasp the gravity of the situation.

That escalated fast

[usmc0331horn 953]

$3600/month to live in a place with death trap elevators seems worth it imo.

I would expected your story about getting stuck in an elevator leading to some NSAA shit.

[Newdoc 3,448]

And your demise will be seen by millions. Awful. When it’s your time it’s your time.

This.  You know he probably popped like a melon all over them.

Wasn't that a doctor in a hospital or am I mis-remembering?

Correct. In Houston I think.

Don’t watch the video. I’m forever going to heed the warnings from here on out. Don’t know why this video is what did it, but it did.

[Deej 76,842]

Shocked the $1300 fine didn't move the building owners to fix the elevators. 

[Deej 76,842]

You guys freaked out by the video need to internet more. That was tame.

Yeah, I have no problem leaving that dark corner of the internet to you.

[Deej 76,842]

I like to see all the ways I might possibly die. Maybe then, I might avoid a few of them.

[SquishMitten 10,419]

Watched it. Terrible way to go. Rule number 1 on the elevator: if it gets stuck between floors, don’t try to climb through the gap. Rule 2: if it starts moving while you’re in the gap, use every muscle in your body to get back IN the elevator, not out of it.

[Homesickhorn 2,202]

I’ve seen plenty of shit. The situation happens so fast that it could almost be considered ‘not gruesome’. I don’t know why it got me the way it did, but it did.

But by all means, keep watching gruesome deaths on the intertrons if you want to see how people die, and how you might die one day. And I’m serious when I say that I hope nothing you ever watch happens to you.

[Bevo 13,579]

I had a great, great aunt who fell down an elevator shaft. I think old elevators missed some of the safety features of today's elevators.

['stache 21,823]

Not gonna watch but curious. Do you see a guy get cut in two? Was it quick? I might have a nightmare just thinking about it.
