Reports show that there was a record of safety issues with the midtown Manhattan elevator that crushed an employee to death on December 14, 2011. City inspectors had logged 11 violations involving elevators at the Madison Avenue tower where the fatal accident, in which a 41-year-old advertising executive was crushed to death, occurred. Several other employees on the elevator witnessed the horrific event, and required psychological treatment for emotional trauma.

Elevator accidents are often deadly, and can cause extreme emotional trauma to anyone who survives or witnesses the accident.
