Woman Falls 30 Feet Down Atlantic City Casino Elevator Shaft

A woman on a motorized wheelchair slammed into a hotels elevator, forcing the doors to open, and then fell about 30 feet down the shaft early Saturday, a city fire official said.
She didn't make it in time — and the momentum pushed the wheelchair through the now-closed doors on the second floor. The elevator car was already on its way up when she fell. Her wheelchair fell on top of her.
When firefighters arrived, they found the elevator doors off their tracks.
It took firefighters about 45 minutes to rescue the woman at the Claridge Tower at Bally's Atlantic City. The woman, who was not identified, was "extremely fortunate" to be alive, Battalion Chief Michael Mooney said.
