Lift plummets from 32nd to 15th floor in Bangkok condo (video)

A woman experienced a terrifying ordeal when the lift she was using at her condo in Bangkok suddenly plummeted from the 32nd floor and stopped at the 15th floor, leaving her shaken.

A TikTok user with the handle @somo_41456 shared a harrowing video of the incident that took place at a condominium yesterday, August 15. In her post, she recounted how the lift unexpectedly dropped several floors.

“If this happened to an elderly person, they could have had a heart attack!

“The lift fell from the 32nd floor and stopped at the 15th floor. I crawled out of the lift, shaking with fear. The condo staff said they were watching the cameras.”

The user was visibly distressed and trembling after the near-disastrous event. Once the lift doors opened, condominium staff arrived to assist her. She explained what had happened, still in shock from the incident.

After the video was posted, it quickly garnered numerous comments from concerned viewers.

“We should press the button for every floor if the lift falls; it helps to slow it down.”

“Everything happened so fast. If she only had the presence of mind to press the alarm button.”

“It likely just slipped, not fell. If it had truly fallen, it would have been much more forceful. Lifts have multiple brake and safety systems. The descent was part of the system’s design; actual falls are quite rare.”

The TikTok video, accompanied by the original sound from the user, sparked a discussion about lift safety and emergency procedures. While some viewers offered practical advice, others reassured her about the safety mechanisms in place in modern lifts.

The condominium management has not yet provided an official statement regarding the incident. However, the event has left a lasting impression on the TikTok user and many others who viewed her post, reported KhaoSod.

In related news, a technician, believed to be a Thai national, tragically lost his life on August 13 while repairing a lift at Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok.
