Electrician’s Grisly Death

It was later revealed that an electrician had been working on the elevator. The crew member was later identified as 66-year-old Jose Sandoval Opazo, who was an electrician. Mr. Opazo had apparently disabled the elevator safety in order to work on it, and when it descended it ended up crushing him leading to his early demise.

While the passenger Matt Davis and his wife filmed what they saw, unfortunately, a crew member lost his life in the accident. At the time, Matt and other passengers couldn’t believe their eyes at the absolutely horrifying accident. The elevator was eventually sealed off for the remainder of the trip. While most passengers on board did not witness the event first hand, or see the footage while they were still on the trip, the video made its rounds on TV and other news media, which completely shocked viewers.
