Daejon, South Korea. A woman enters an elevator on the ground floor headed for the subway. She waits awhile and the doors do not close. She pushes the "close the door" button and the doors begin to close. However a man in a motorized wheelchair heads for the doors as they are closing and crashes into the doors. Through the glass windows in the doors we can see the elevator goes down.

The man is upset, backs up his wheelchair, and rams the doors. The right door gives and swings inward. He again backs up his wheelchair and rams the elevator which causes the left elevator door to also give way, swing inward, and he and his wheelchair plummet into the open elevator shaft.

Since I don't know whether or not he was killed, I have to let Darwin decide on this one. Otherwise, it would seem that this fellow's persistence paid off. He went down, alright!!

The Google translations of the articles seem to indicate that the man died, and the youtube video is enough for me. Thanks, RAM!
