COLUMBUS, Ohio – Like many students at the country’s largest college campus, Melissa Nail now thinks twice before boarding crowded elevator cars.
It was on her campus three months ago that an 18-year-old freshman was killed while trying to wriggle out of an overcrowded dorm elevator that was stuck between floors.
“I’ve always had a little bit of a fear of the elevators and definitely now I just don’t get into overcrowded ones,” said Nail, 18, a freshman at Ohio State University.
