An Empire State Building tour guide is suing after she got stuck in an elevator nearly 70 stories in the air, leading to an alleged case of PTSD she claims now precludes her from ever getting in another lift, cutting short a decades-long career escorting tourists to the iconic New York City skyscraper’s 86th-floor observation deck.
“Maxine Malcolm was entrapped, dangling high up – fearing for her very life and not knowing if the swinging elevator would drop at any time,” reads a civil complaint obtained by The Independent.
