Happened in Cengong county, southwest China.
Son impatiently opens the elevator door by hand, presumably that's a great idea,
Father walks in slowly to the shaft and then falls to his death.
Let me know if this is a repost

So was it a maintenance guy who was working on the elevator. he thought the old man was just going to have a look into the shaft. But because some old people in China don't fully understand how some technologies work. The old man just thought the elevator is always there if the door opens or something. Especially if they are from rural areas if heard they just don't understand things we take for granted. Otherwise why is the guy opening the door in the first place and why would he let his father just walk into it?
