The Boy Who Fell Down the Lift Shaft
It was in the news yesterday.. how a boy fell down 11 floors to his death. His younger brother only notified the parents only after he got back from school.
That must have been a scary thing for a 9-year old to witness, and he did try to inform the bus driver (who did not pay attention) and the teacher (who dismissed him as a liar). I suspect that the living kin will need serious therapy to get over the shock and grief. It is one thing to lose someone close, it's another thing to lose him/her in the most unexpected of circumstances.
The management company remarked that they'll "donate some money" to the family and claims that they have been efficient in maintaining the lifts all these while. In fact, the management company stands by the fact that their technicians will attend to the repairs between 20-30 minutes from the time any report is made. Hmm.. the mind ponders..
