A woman who had just given birth was killed moments later when a hospital elevator in Spain suddenly malfunctioned and cut her “in half,” according to a report.
quote:

Rocío Cortes Nunez, 26, was being taken on a stretcher to a third-floor maternity unit after waking up from a C-section at the Our Lady of Valme Hospital in Seville on Sunday afternoon, El Correro reported.
quote:

A hospital warden moving Nunez between floors had decided to change elevators after the doors opened and closed, but the lift didn’t move, The Mirror reported. But as he started to remove the stretcher, the lift began its ascent, trapping the woman, according to the report.
quote:

Her husband, José Gaspar, joined by other family members, was waiting for Nunez when he “heard a loud blow in the elevator,” he told the news outlet.

This is a fear of mine when getting on and off an elevator.

Such a tragic story and an example of how every day is precious. Life is filled with ups and downs so don't waist any time living while you can.

Gives new meaning to Kenny Loggins' minor hit "Meet me Halfway".

reminds of the movie The Omen 2 scene where the guy is also sliced in half.

Stories like this are why I always get on and off elevators a little quicker than my normal walking pace

I used to be afraid of elevators when I was kid; I used to always take the stairs. I think I might go back to stairs.
