That's horrible
How the fuck did they not get the bright thought to check the mother fucker before turning it off? Holy god damn fuck that's both angering and sad.
OK, never going into a Chinese elevator, they decapitate, they dismember, they crash and now they have become murderboxes
There's gotta be a punishment for this shit. This is the level of not caring you have when you throw your coat on your bed or something, you seriously can't apply this shit to suspended death boxes. also I'm surprised there wasn't some kind of emergency exit.

Though they probably could be opened, the issue is if the elevator is 7 feet tall, and you are 5, it's not gonna work
The Elevator claims another sacrifice for its service to mankind.

You live in a building and you don't hear someone screaming for help, banging on a door for 2 - 4 days maybe a week? Alright.

Off the top of my head wasn't thwre an incident a few years back where someone ran over a child and not only did nobody have a care in the world to help but the guy kept driving over the kid because apparently you get in less shit if you kill them than you do if they survive and sue?

According to the article, another possible reason nobody wanted to help was because of the fear they'd then end up paying the compensation, as happened in a case in 2006. Either way it's all quite fucked. I can't personally confirm or deny the suing thing but I vaguely remember that. Oh yeah, from a CNN article about the same: "In recent years, assisting victims in traffic accidents or other emergency situations has become controversial in China. In an attempt to cover costly medical expenses, several senior citizens, injured in accidents that were their own fault, turned against people who helped them at the scene by suing the good Samaritans for compensation, according to state media."

[QUOTE=pentium;49879205]?[/QUOTE] Yeah. That's true. If you hit someone in china you better be ready to do a double tap just to be sure they are dead. On the bright side, China is already prepared for the zombie apocalypse.
What the fuck, man. My building's elevators have a bell button to use in case it gets stuck or something, isn't that standard everywhere?
Chinese engineering is fascinatingly broken and incompetent.
[QUOTE=FetusFondler;49879681]What the fuck, man. My building's elevators have a bell button to use in case it gets stuck or something, isn't that standard everywhere?[/QUOTE] Might not work if it's turned off.

[QUOTE=Badballer;49880263]Don't forget escalators[/QUOTE] shit if its big and has moving parts, and its been built in china, its probably going to kill a significant amount of people in tragic ways [editline]6th March 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=pentium;49879205]I swear it was mentioned somewhere before (without heavy bias) that the Chinese are famous for being incredibly ignorant.

Its like that one guy that got stuck in an elevator for 41 hours and went pretty much crazy in that time frame. Read the article and you'll get a good sense of what he went through (mostly because it becomes difficult to know how much time has actually passed) [hd]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxconvkLz2I[/hd] [url]http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2008/04/21/up-and-then-down[/url]
And I was just looking for a reason to start taking the stairs Good god this is horrifying
Im amazed this can even happen nowdays due to, you know, mobile phones.
[QUOTE=archival;49881094]Im amazed this can even happen nowdays due to, you know, mobile phones.[/QUOTE] inside a metal box where the signal might not penetrate?
[QUOTE=archival;49881094]Im amazed this can even happen nowdays due to, you know, mobile phones.[/QUOTE] This is a developing country where they still use holes in the ground as toilets.
Wait so did that elevator just go up on its' own or did someone finally notice him? He seems to escape, imagine just after an uncountable amount of hours the door beeps and you're at your destination he probably ran out of there so fast lol
[QUOTE=MrDwarf11;49881162]inside a metal box where the signal might not penetrate?[/QUOTE] I've never been in an elevator that cuts off signals, and I pretty much always browse twitter or something in an elevator
[QUOTE=Sableye;49878902]OK, never going into a Chinese elevator, they decapitate, they dismember, they crash and now they have become murderboxes[/QUOTE] also escalator or building of any kind
you'd think they'd bring all elevators down to first floor and open the doors before shutting anything down. ed: or if it was mechanical issues that they were called in for, to actually get into the elevator before shutting it down.
Yeah I really wouldn't worry about this happening to you if you live anywhere but China.
[QUOTE=MrDwarf11;49881162]inside a metal box where the signal might not penetrate?[/QUOTE] it's usually more because you're in a thick concrete shaft, which is dense due to also being a core piece of the support structure in larger buildings

Holy god damn fuck that's both angering and sad.[/QUOTE] "Let's shut this thing down and go enjoy the holiday." "Yeah. okay." "Take a look and see if anyone is in there." "Sure." looks at elevator door, thinks 'fuck it' "No, no one's in there, let's go."
