Trying to jump out when he should have just stayed in, too many video games

I know everybody says "you have to be in these situations to see how quickly it happens - you don't have time to think logically like that" ..... but fuck that - my instincts would be screaming to let go and fall back into the carriage. Poor bastard, that's no way to leave this earth. And how lucky is the guy wearing the backpack who exits first ?? The elevator car starts to fall the split second his leading leg clears the doors. The luckiest man, and the unluckiest man in NYC, both within inches of one another. Such are the vagaries of "fate".

U told him didn’t you! Lololol

That still photo of the body on a stretcher tells a lot! They knew cameras were going to be Everywhere. So he's either not in there and in the hotels Big freezer for "later removal." Or some really strong Firemen spent a lot of time getting him corrected and laid out straight.
