Friends Nearly Drown After Flood Waters Fill Up Elevator

Three friends inside an elevator amid a large storm in Omaha, Nebraska, found themselves trapped as the lift filled with water in a harrowing ordeal they managed to capture on camera. Tony Luu and two friends took an elevator down to the ground floor of his downtown Omaha apartment building to examine the damage from the storm about 10 p.m. Saturday. The group made it to the ground floor of the building when water began rushing in from the lobby.

This flood had cars completely submerged in water in the middle of the city. It was flipping wild!

"Yeah lets just go check it out"🤣

[@LeftvsReich]

Even in the movies, they teach you to take the stairs and NOT the elevator during a disaster, for reasons just like this. I'm glad they're ok, but that was really stupid.

[@user-kv7jy2fc1k]

yeah they were stupid but they show what happen take elevator during a disaster in REAL life this is good example and will be really scary lesson than movies for inside edition viewers

[@andriod8014]

Then recording was a dead five away on how stupid they were.

[@marythomson7931]

TBT I agree 100%

[@FamilyGirl566]

Maybe the signs that say take the stairs they only apply to fire emergencies don't say anything about flood emergencies

For real he can’t just blame his friend that couldn’t do anything it’s not like he was the one that has that idea

His friend might be a superhero, if so, I'd call him too! But seriously, probably just panicked and called the most responsible person he knew 🤷🏽‍♀️

I have to wonder why he kept going until that point. Like when the sewage waters rose up to his chest did he just not think that maybe he should leave the rescue to qualified people trained to manage these situations instead of attempting to do it himself?

[@MadGeorge88]

Hey mate, come save us were stuck in the elevator on the basement level that's flooded. Proceeds to get elevator to basement level. why did we save these people to contaminate the genepool.

Kinda reminds me of a scene in Titanic (1997) where Rose went to rescue Jack.

[@sp1n4l_sn4p]

Thats what i thought, as the water flooded in through the gate

[@milonga_]

This is worse since in the movie, the guy could control the elevator by the flick of a lever

[@jazzyjaz9108]

Except they're doing it for a video and Rose did it to save the person she loved.

[@tyrell25ful]

Rose was smart enough not to go down just to see the floods.

[@jenna9340]

I think most people only think of fires. If it's a situation that you have never experienced, you're less likely to make good decisions that we, using the power of hindsight, would make. I'm not saying the decision was smart, but we make decisions based on previous experiences. They probably never thought of this being a problem they'd need to deal with.

[@rickyl7358]

“To check out the floods” according to this source…

[@jenna9340]

@Wilfredo Gomez they knew it was flooding, yes. Although, I don't know to what extent. In the video it said they were expecting ankle deep water and were met with neck deep. This one fact could've changed their decision to go down in the first place and the decision to take the elevator. What I was saying previously is that we make decisions between previous experiences and what we think we know.
