Why didn't the safety switches work? ( the door has to be completely closed before it starts moving )

So, who will get sued in that one? The hospital, the elevator manufacturer, the elevator inspectors (city, state, etc.) or all of them?

Oh lord, that's just tragic and heads are gonna roll on this one ladies and gentlemen! That's bad maintenance without a doubt and I'm betting some bad "cost cutting" descisions on the part of the hospital administration. Of course, the woman is probably some "skell" dirtbag that'll milk this "minor incident" for all it's worth, right?
