> Twenty-four people had crowded into an elevator on which Andrew Polakowski, 18, of Erie, Pennsylvania, was killed Friday night, a fire official said Monday.  
> The 2,500-pound weight capacity of the elevator was exceeded by as much as 1,100 pounds, said Doug Smith, a battalion chief for the Columbus Division of Fire.

Sometimes you just have to be smart enough to look at a situation and say, “Um, yeah… I think I’ll wait for the next one, or maybe take the stairs”.

I’m sure there will still be a lawsuit though.

They should really put signs up that say to take the stairs, not the elevator, if there’s a fire.
