Name sake
It can easily have been a tragedy, for you wonder at some of these jobs we
do in these cities. An elevator operator is trained to control the traffic
of the passengers, must as well be trained not to panic. Looking at his
photograph, this is an old man who might have even some medical issues that
lead him to this job, it is possible he panicked into the elevator and
thought that he would make it. It is possible he limited his decision on I
am on the first floor any ways let me jump and he forgot that the building
actually has several floors under the ground. Through panic he can achieve
two things {a} panic can make him miss the floor he expected to drop on and
{b} panic can exercerbet the existing medical problem {If he has one} and he
dies. Let us not forget that Boston has very many old Ugandans that have
retired from all sorts of jobs including veterans with a huge range of
disabilities. It is just too early to throw in the intentional jumping
factor.
But I follow your reasoning for his man was in middle of the city not some
small town, I can bet that address is 5 minutes of a fire truck on a call at
most, this man has all this information, he honestly knew that he would be
pulled out. He did not need ten minutes to get a fire truck on the building.
The only job he was doing in the elevator is to tell the occupants if
trouble happens that remain calm for the fire truck is on the way. How did
he fail to use this education to save himself? It is very mind boggling.
Just on record. When cell phones came into service I refused to own one for
I did not see its value. Many people owned cell phones and I refused to own
one. I have a phone at home and I have a phone at work, if the people at
work need me I have a system in the car where they send me an Email and I
can respond from the car, many times I am accused to post every time for I
am at home but my emails some to my car for I can access the net by the car
system, and it is a very good system Kamugisha if you have some good cash
you can own it too. It is a Kenwood DNX9990XD Exlcelon fabulous, so a cell
was out. Until when I walked into an elevator of a building and got stuck on
the 45th floor from midnight to 6 am when they figured out that there was
someone may be stuck into this elevator. I had no means to call for help and
the building had no night staff, those who heard the alarm played typical
Canadians, none of my business and went to sleep. And by the time I got
rescued my truck had been towed away too.
That is it I walked into Bell Canada and got my first cell and to today I
never walk into an elevator without a cell.

No question about it, this is a tragedy.
But I have a coupla questions:
Was he alone? Where were the witnesses who gave this accurate account of the
incident?
Moreover, as the elevator operator, this man should have been familiar with
the distance between the elevator door and the landing space. Why would he
have attempted the jump?
Secondly, since the elevator was stuck between first floor and Zero or
basement, with its door partly open, a professional elevator operator would
have known that there was no immeidate risk of suffocation or any major
adverse impact in the event that the elevator dropped to the basement, and
would have, therefore, patiently waited for the rescue team.
Something more happened here: a foul play or an intentional jump is a
possibility.
