Such a cruel death, may the deceased rest in peace!

红颜勿忘我:

Who said he suffocated, this is being crushed to death. The elevator was going up, with this kind of pressure and him being stuck in the middle, so pitiful.

无履伦比:

Fuck so horrifying, I’ll never take the elevator again, when I go home I’ll take the stairs and exercise.

Was stuck a 5:47, people only came to rescue him at 6:20, chilling.

Rescue work in China are all too slow, life and death can be a matter of minutes and seconds, the rescue team took 35 mins to arrive. If just my hand was stuck in there, I would lose my hand, let alone suffocating through a crushed lung.

The elevator manufacture and repair company’s legal representatives should be executed on sight!

The elevator is of poor quality, in the future be careful when you take the elevator. After watching this I’m traumatized, so horrifying.
