Friends Nearly Drown After Flood Waters Fill Up Elevator

- Three friends inside an elevator amid a large storm in Omaha, Nebraska, found themselves trapped as the lift filled with water in a harrowing ordeal they managed to capture on camera. Tony Luu and two friends took an elevator down to the ground floor of his downtown Omaha apartment building to examine the damage from the storm about 10 p.m. Saturday. The group made it to the ground floor of the building when water began rushing in from the lobby.
"Took the elevator down to check out the floods"
Something is seriously wrong.
Yep, that wasn't a smart move.
That's tiktok level intelligence.
What an imbecile. He should’ve won the Darwin Award.
He would probably crawl inside an oven to check on the biscuits.
🤣🤣
This is triple scary:
1. drowning
2. in sewage water
3. in a confined space
jeez
And the possibility of electrocution.
I hate how this video was recommended to me after another video of the same thing happening but in Henan and on a train…
@VIVANOFF you high on crack
Plus oxygen will run out
i feel bad for the short girl lmao, she was def going to drown to death if she wasnt on here tipy toes
I love that the friend took the time to selfie himself while coming to rescue them. What a friend
Instead of joining the scene he could have called the fire department as he was helping his friends
well he had to keep his phone above water anyway so it doesnt get wet, might as well record himself on the way to help his friends lol
This is hilarious
I just got this image in my head that made me laugh after I read your comment, of rose filming herself in the corridor while going to save Jack like “up to my neck in water” for clout
@@simsthre4078 🤣🤣🤣
Round of applause for the roommate for his heroic rescue attempt while recording him self in sewage water in the hallway while his friends were close to drowning 🤣🤣
At least he went in the water

Moral of the story: if there’s a flood, don’t take an elevator, especially not to the lowest level to “check it out”. Curiosity almost killed the cats

Hey! Let's all hop in the electric elevator and go down to the ground floor to check out the flood!!
I love how everyone is on the phone instead of trying to pry the door open.
This is the reason why they say don't take the elevator during an emergency exit.

I live in Omaha, it was truly terrifying seeing the flood in the streets. My basement got flooded. It was really scary
There's a flood, so instead of fleeing to higher grounds for saftey, they go down towards the flood and they take the elevator instead of the stairs. Then when they get stuck in the elevator, they call their friend instead of 911. Smart

How is flooding a result of stupidity? If you’re calling the kids in the elevator stupid, shame on you. They didn’t know any better and neither would you.
@@nodical802 because they didn't use their brains and use the stairs instead. You should learn some more reading comprehension skills before commenting your aphasic thoughts.

The most important question ever asked “How scary was this?” Journalism at its best.
"took the elevator down" to...."check out the floods" ...... Darwin awards for these 3 right here lol
Geez this is terrifying. But seriously y’all in the event of an emergency ( flood, fire etc) TAKE THE STAIRS
Or at least GO TO HIGHER GROUND.
Hey. Could we be friends
They should be able to see the damage from above so I’m totally lost at why they even went down in the first place. Their building management should shutdown their elevators if they get a flood advisory/warning in case their tenants go into TikTok mode and leave their brain at home lol.
Yeah these people wanted to take the elevator to CHECK OUT THE FLOOD. This is a case of play stupid games, win stupid prizes. But thankfully no one died.
Even in movies they teach you not to use the elevator in a disaster. I'm glad they're ok, but that was really stupid of them.
Thank GOD! You were all rescued!!!
Thank God they’re ok😢❤🙏
I don't like elevators to begin with, but why would they take a elevator during a flood? Im pretty sure in any emergency, you take the stairs, not just fires
They probably thought it'd be a minor flood. Maybe a foot high at most. Color them surprised.
I always try to avoid elevators no matter what
I dunno why
But i'd rather be in a tornado
than take an elevator
Elevator--
Vs
300 flights of stairs?
I pick the 300 flights of stairs because i think about how far up the elevators must go
AND HOW FAR IT CAN FALL DOWN
This is why we have warning labels on stuff. People like these kids.....
I don't think they knew it was gonna be bad like that.
I live in georgia, and places get flooded up to your ankles, sometimes thighs, all the time. They probably never experienced a flood like this before, only minor ones.
This is why I always say “Stupidity is a life threatening disease!”

Okay kids... this is why you should pay attention to school: NEVER USE ELEVATORS IN AN EMERGENCY
Schools dont even need to teach you that using an elevator during a weather emergency is a stupid idea

Classic inside edition.
It’s all about the drama. It’s not about presenting all the facts.
Ikr I was expecting an explanation in case one day I decide to be dumb and go in an elevator during a flood
Their friend went to open the door
I’m guessing they teleported out
The comment I'm looking for
I've been stuck in an elevator before, but I've never been stupid enough to have that happen during a flood.
They're going to have to put a sign on that elevator now that says "don't try to take this down to the basement during a flood"
Next year they’re gonna be like “hey that house is on fire, let’s go inside for a closer look!”
🤣🤣🤣
WHAHAHA, GOOD ONE!!
😂😂😂😂
Hilarious!!😂😂
' grab your phones so we can film ourselves.'
Aren't you specifically not supposed to take an elevator in the event of floods or fires?
Exactly
Yeah, and their first instinct was to call their roommate down to join them instead of pressing the emergency button on the elevator panel before it filled with water
Yup
There from Nebraska that’s why
Why would they go down to check the flood? Crazy
He called his friends instead of 911? WTF?
That friend is a keeper!
This is LITERALLY: "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes."
Hopefully they learned their lesson.
😂😂😂😂😂 i just said the same thing.🤦🏽 I literally don't feel sorry for them. 🤷🏽
The roommate was to nice id be like so call the fire department or police im not risking my life to save idiots
🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️💯💯💯
They almost couldn't even learn that lesson
I hope they know not to get on the elevator if there is a fire in the building.
Never use an elevator in a flood, earthquake, or a fire. Should be obvious.
as a kid I remember mom taking us to two movies in one night, The Towering Inferno, and Earthquake. Sure was an eyeopener about elevators! We laughingly called it our shake and bake night.
@Zombie Man I hadn't heard that term before. Is a zoomer the latest generation? lol
@Zombie Man haha...I like the sound of it...boomer zoomer...but I got to thinking about it and it would mean the zoom generation...ones who have to use zoom instead of actual attendance in person.
Who's stupid enough to go in a lift DURING a flood like that? Effing morons.
So should not using fireworks in your hands or between your lips etc. People still do that... Common sense is dieing off.
Bet they take the stairs more often now. I was stuck in a dry elevator for a few hours as a young kid, and it made me not want to get back one one for a while. I can't imagine how terrifying this would be
Guy: whats your fear?
Me: this video.
"Tony and two friends took the elevator down to check out the floods."
I actually facepalmed at this, glad they made it out alive, that's one hell of memory they'll never forget.

For real he can’t just blame his friend that couldn’t do anything it’s not like he was the one that has that idea
His friend might be a superhero, if so, I'd call him too! But seriously, probably just panicked and called the most responsible person he knew 🤷🏽♀️
Must be boring having boring friends! You do know friends obviously say thing more dramatic

If u ever feel stupid, just remember that these people go to "check the flood" using an elevator, also instead of calling emergency they instead call their friends for help
I'm feeling lika a genius because of that. 😂
I look like a genius compared to these people. It’s like saying I went into the trees to check out the forest fire.
It’s was a massive flood. You can’t call emergency services. They either can’t get to you or won’t make it in time. It’s why they tell people in hurricane paths if you don’t evacuate they will not come save you until after the storm passes.
@@netogrof Yeah, calling 911 in this situation is useless. Calling his friend was property the only smart thing he did.

Drowning in a elevator is one of the most absurd things I’ve ever heard of, shouldn’t be possible unless you’re on a sinking boat or something. Still, never use elevators in emergencies.
I’m scared of elevators emergency or not. I just take stairs. I have a fear of them getting stuck lol
@@reaper3509 claustrophobia can be horrible, but.. at least if you're in the US, you shouldn't need to worry about getting stuck in them. Although it'll take some time for someone to come help you, you should be perfectly safe. I've been stuck in them a few hundred times on construction projects (we beat the hell out of them: overloading, hitting them with heavy objects, and various things.) I'd never once saw it fall more than a foot, multiple backup safety features. Although it seems they don't have flood protection. I learned something new.
