@dnith26: A father is being asked to pay $15,000 after forcing open an elevator door to protect his family.#crime #court #courtroom #fyp #news

Eddie Chung :

Yes he should be paying more than that. Every elevator has that button for emergency call. I got stuck before press the button someone will be talking to you on the other line

wannabesayian27 :

When was the last time it had inspection? How old is the building? Was everything up to code? I love it when everyone assumes everything!

peak :

that manager can

Brandi Whitlow :

Idk I’m claustrophobic & wouldn’t be able to wait hours for rescue without going insane. I’m on his side.

KittyStormYT⁷ :

bro Daniel can sue the building manager for not inspecting the elevator enough to keep it maintained and not stop working

CursedFC :

elevator would never malfunction if he had it up to code. its clear failure to keep equipment working.

Stacy J❌ :

No

Trisch :

No, he shouldn’t pay, but I do agree that him opening that was dangerous.

Shadow_storm321 :

no he shouldn't be paying it

misty cat :

he should have used the emergency call 1st

datalink1978 :

I say no The elevator could've fallen either way

jigokusaru :

not gonna lie, he should used the call button first. he doesnt know how long it would have taken for help to get their for all he knows, it might have been 15 20 minutes. if your first instinct is Destruction of property. then idk

Maretha Erichsen :

If everything was was on par with the building, then yes. If however, it hadn't been serviced, then no

Stacie :

nope

Michael Cavanaugh :

he should not be sued

Jason 🇳🇿 :

yes

user2145769839764 :

so wait, I thought law is based on proves beyond reasonable doubt?, wait unless it's a rich person the plaintiff, then we can make decisions on "what if"?.. now it's makes sense

tycario43 :

he was in a panic and in a rush so I don't blame him

javathemistake :

squash.quinoa :

todd and daniel?

Hazard :

presume he did use the emergancy call, the responders would have done tge exact same thing, force the doors open. and no telling how long they had till it got worse. was it risky? sure. but it was a solution, and it worked. end of story.

Squatch🫈 :

If he didn't use the emergency call first, then yes. He should be sued

Quinton Westbrook :

building definitely got counter sued

MJ :

I love how I read most go no say if it was up to code he shouldnt. but even if it wasnt was inspect or was up to code. its machinery everything malfunction. but people never ask this how long did he sit there. what was a good reason to make the decision. but he did put his self and his family at risk and property damage. nothing would have happened but being sitting there unless you where pass the over weight limit there was nothing to worry but hit the button. I can't agree to either side yet but if he just forced open the door without waiting and no actual good reason than he should pay the law suite.
