Grey shirt gets out, but two other people had to wait inside the elevator with the dead guy half in and half out? Wonder how long until they were released.

This was uploaded to a YouTube channel called Horror Stories; but got deleted - in that video though he went into detail about how this apartment complex neglected to keep up with elevator inspections & that the building has had constant elevator malfunctions & stalls before. That certificate in every elevator is so shit like this doesn't happen.
Still, every time I leave an elevator after watching this, I now wait a solid second to leave.
