This past weekend, Nebraska was hit by a massive downpour, which resulted in three people almost drowning in an elevator that was entirely submerged in water.
Tony Luu captured the incident of him and his buddies being trapped in the elevator of their apartment building on social media in the moment. They ended up neck-deep in water when stranded in the elevator!
Luu was able to film the moment the elevator became stuck and water began to gush out of the vents. According to officials, Lou claimed that the water reached their stomachs very quickly, causing him and his buddies to panic!
The water had nearly reached the ceiling, but Luu and his companions were able to grab on to the elevator railings and call 911 for assistance, as well as their other friends and building maintenance.
After some time in the elevator, some of Luu’s outside pals banded together and managed to pull the doors open from the lobby. According to TMZ, Luu claims he was swimming out of the elevator as soon as the door opened because there was so much water gushing out.
In the end, none of the three were hurt. This situation may have turned out disastrously, but the three were brave and made it out alive.
