People trapped in a falling lift in the U.S. city of Chicago thought they were going to die as they plummeted 84 floors to the ground, BBC reported.
Six people, including a pregnant woman, fell from the 95th to the 11th floor in a skyscraper formerly known as the John Hancock Center early last week.
They then texted friends who called the emergency services and they were freed after a three- hour ordeal.
It is believed at least one cable holding the cabin broke.
The group had left a bar on the 95th floor of the building to go down to the lobby.
According to witnesses, there was a sudden “clack clack clack” noise and dust began seeping into the cabin.
Those aboard screamed, prayed and cried, reports said.
