Back in the studio for the show today and I’m excited to have a nice long weekend with my family. There is quite an array of articles/blog posts on the show today including a horrific escalator accident that involved a child in India. I think Elevator and Escalator Safety needs to be promoted more in this country, especially now that their vertical transportation is growing. Also on the program today our famous prize pack giveaway which is a $100 Visa Card! I hope everyone has a nice Thanksgiving. If you’re traveling, be safe. We’ll be back at you next Wednesday!

Thanks to the following companies who have donated goodies to the prize pack giveaway. Have  Fujitec America, GAL, The National Association of Elevator Contractors, The National Association of Elevator Safety Authorities, The Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation, COMPANY SRL, Peelle, C.J. Anderson, Truxes, EMS Group, Elevator Bob’s Elevator Pictures, Minnesota Elevator, Inc, One Stop Elevator Magazine, The ElevatorNetwork, Elevator Gear & The ElevatorShack.
