A pretty bad accident in Philadelphia happened this week which left two in the hospital. Preliminary news stations report that the elevator traveled up and did not stop before hitting the hoist way ceiling and possible pushing through into the machine room. It’s been a while since something like this was covered in the news and I’m sure we’ll be learning more as the investigation continues into what may have caused the accident. Think about this the next time you have a bad day or feel rushed at trying to get all the work you have to do done in the time you have to do it.
