There have been two in Ottawa, Canada in the last three years. Neither
involved a falling elevator, however. Both involved door problems,
people caught in the door and crushed aginst the door frames outside the
elevator.
I see your "never" and raise you two anecdotes. If you call my bluff,
I'll have to research and give names and dates. One was in the Lord
Elgin Hotel, the other an apartment building.
