[quote:Sungaze_At_Dawn:MV8zOTM0NDg4XzcxMDMyNzUxX0JEMEMyODIy] How dare they make buildings that tall! Its inhumane, ugly and highly dangerous. I won't step foot in a building more than 3 stories because anything more than that is a crime against humanity and human beings have the right to land and houses, not apartments. And offices should be in no more the 2-3 story buildings, though 2 is ample. So happy they survived. [/quote]

People trapped in a falling lift in the US city of Chicago thought they were going to die as they plummeted 84 floors to the ground.
Six people, including a pregnant woman, fell from the 95th to the 11th floor in a skyscraper formerly known as the John Hancock Center early on Friday morning.
They then texted friends who called the emergency services and they were freed after a three-hour ordeal.
It is believed at least one cable holding the cabin broke.
The group had left a bar on the 95th floor of the building to go down to the lobby.
