EMPLOYEE KILLED IN FALL INTO ELEVATOR SHAFT

At approximately 1:00 p.m. on January 3, 1990, Employee #1 was attempting to free a building tenant from the car of an elevator that was stuck on the first floor. He was unable to open the elevator door from the first floor and proceeded to bring the adjacent service elevator down along side the stuck passenger car. He opened the service elevator door on the second floor, got on the roof of service elevator and crossed over to the passenger car roof. He was forcing the door open with a broom handle when the passenger elevator suddenly became activated and began to go to the upper floors. Employee #1 fell from the roof of the elevator car into the shaft and was killed.
