[quote]In front of an elevator in a subway station.
A man in a motorized wheechair narrowly misses the elevator.
As he angrily started to repeatedly ram the elevator door with his wheelchair, the door suddenly breaks, sending Mr.Lee 6m(about 20ft?) down the elevator shaft. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say that this was an unfortunate accident caused by Mr. Lee's anger at the elevator's occupant not holding the door for Mr. Lee.[/quote][URL="http://news.naver.com/main/read.nhn?mode=LPOD&mid=tvh&oid=052&aid=0000312821"]Source[/URL]
Theres a video on the news site from a cctv camera. You can clearly see the door giving away.

Holy shit. I would hate to be the person that didn't hold the door for the poor guy. How strong was the door, anyway?
$20 says he wins a Darwin Award. I don't understand why ram the door though, I thought you where supposed to push the button really fast to make the elevator move faster, not ram the door.

Didn't look too strong in the video, it is already half broken after he drives into it the first time.
Door broke off the tracks the first time he rammed it.
Second time was just Darwin collecting what he's owed.
Is it wrong of me to laugh?
I can really see this being posted in the Darwin Awards website

Power wheelchairs has a significant amount of pushing power, although I do agree that the door should have been built to withstand the abuse.
Why did he continue after the doors were already loose and damn these electro cars are quite strong.

It's so random, I fail to understand how angry someone can be to throw his life away for a missed elevator ride.
I don't know, maybe he wasn't having a good day, or it was just another loss after a slew of losses.
what a dumbass move

I bet his spirits would have been [I]lifted[/I] if the guy had held the doors for him
I can't even imagine how he felt when he realized OH SHIT THE DOORS BROKE.

Those are the moments when you [i]stand up[/i] and walk away.
Did the man in the wheelchair cause the fire as well?

i dont speak korean
I thought it was funny, and then I saw that he died
Now I'm sad... :frown:
It looks like the elevator went down before he rammed the doors. Did he crash on top of the elevator? And he was pretty stupid. I thought the door would've broken when he hit it and he wouldn't be able to stop. He broke the door off and decided to go again not realizing he'd go right through. It's his fault.
He even pressed button to send the lift back down
Everyone is in such a rush these days. He seriously couldn't have waited for it to come back? Probably got himself into a wheelchair the same way.
I'll try and remember to be patient and take my time, or I may end up dead.

google translate on the article clears that up... kinda
[quote]High school students are playing with fire flames on the roof of an apartment was too.[/quote]
Half the door flew off the 2nd time he rammed into it, you'd think he'd stop there.
Shit! He falls down shaft and fucking fires and car accidents.
DAMN KOREA!
Hahahahaha, after seeing the video of the car being wrecked by the overpass and the guy surviving, I thought back on this and it suddenly became hilarious.
What a dumbass.
I bet the guy was like, "OH FUCK! GOD DAMN YOU ELEVATOR DOOR! THIS TIME I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED! :argh:" *ram ram ram*
What a dumbass. I'd understand if this happened on the first time, but he rammed the door several times, and on the one before the last, the door clearly came [I]very[/I] loose. He continued doing it, it's only his fault. Sure, the elevator company should have made stronger doors, and perhaps they should be fined, but it's not their job to watch out for suicidal maniacs.
Our Australian elevator doors can withstand the impact of a water buffalo.
Those chinese doors look to be made of balsa wood with some alfoil covering the outside. PATHETIC.
