A gripping incident captured on CCTV shows a young girl showing remarkable courage as she rescued two children at risk of being trapped in an Elevator. Her quick thinking prevented a potentially dangerous situation. However, the event also raised concerns about lift safety. Many viewers noted that the doors failed to reopen after sensing an obstruction.
Girl Save Little Kids From Trapped in Elevator
The video shows two young girls standing inside the lift while an older child talks to them from outside. Suddenly, the doors begin to close. The older girl, slightly older, quickly places herself between the doors to stop them. Normally, lift doors reopen when they detect something in the way, but that did not happen here. She used all her strength to prevent the doors from shutting, as the children were too young to exit safely on the next floor.
Soon, other residents noticed the situation. Two women rushed to help her open the gate. When the doors still wouldn’t reopen, they forced them apart with their hands and feet, eventually pulling the children out safely. Once both kids were out, the doors finally closed.
Users react on social media
The post received mixed reactions online. One user asked, “That’s a weird elevator door. Aren’t they supposed to reopen when they detect something in the way?” Another commented, “The lift manufacturer should be held responsible for a faulty system. The door should have opened once it sensed an obstruction.”
Some also pointed to parental oversight, with one person noting, “It’s definitely the elevator’s fault, but also the negligence of the parents. Those kids shouldn’t be in the lift without their parents or guardians.”
