In the early hours of yesterday morning, workers at a construction site in Pollena Trocchia, Naples, discovered the lifeless bodies of two women. The victims, presumed to be foreign prostitutes, were lying in the building's basement. Authorities are investigating whether they fell from two different floors of the elevator shaft, an incident that has shocked the local community.
Safety in construction elevators: protocols that fail 🛑
Elevators under construction often lack complete locking systems until their completion. Regulations require temporary railings and door sensors, but in small projects these are frequently omitted. In this case, the fall from two different levels suggests that both women accessed the unprotected shaft. A technical investigation will determine whether there was negligence in the safety devices or improper use of the structure.
The social elevator that didn't arrive on time 🛗
It seems these two ladies were looking for a quick rise in life, but they chose the wrong shaft. Without railings or lights, the only trip they made was straight to the basement. Perhaps they expected an express service, but the construction elevator had no stop on the ground floor. In the end, the only thing that went up was the neighborhood's outrage.
