  1. I am sure #1.’a comment was referring the the people who are responsible to ensure the safety of the elevator’s in apartment buildings. These old places in Williamsburg are full of kids and must be updated and inspected constantly.

    Obviously something is wrong with this elevator and the one that killed the little boy last summer.

  2. #10, Perhaps you ought to be clear in your comments. “When will these people learn?!” (especially considering your previous comment history); who are “these people” other than the victims? Apparently with your most recent comment “these people” are the owners.

  3. #1, return to your cave. …. NO ! we must be caustious not bury our heads in the sand and like you say return to the cave. Perhaps you live in a cocoon. We MUST watch our children. 2 year olds are not mature enough to check the elevator floor. They need constannt supervision!
