How To Of The Day: How To Survive Inside A Plummeting Elevator
Falling to your death in a steel box seems like the sort of risk you would want to avoid, especially when the alternative is merely the inconvenience of walking up a few flights of stairs. Luckily, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Consumer Product Safety Commission report that elevator accidents are exceedingly rare, and more likely to happen to elevator repair professionals than people merely cruising between floors. Still, the notion of an elevator cable snapping and sending you on a deranged amusement ride, no matter how improbable, is scary enough to warrant memorizing a few survival tips.

Dancing El Paso County Sheriff’s Deputies
El Paso County Sheriff’s Deputies are bustin’ a move in Colorado Springs.
Enjoy!
Deputy Tony Scherb of the El Paso Country Sheriff’s Office has recently gone viral on the Internet with his most recent actions.
Deputy Scherb retired after 29 years on the job. Widely regarded by many of his peers as an incredible professional, he decided to break character in the most outrageous way. While standing alone in the department’s elevator, a hidden camera records Deputy Scherb dancing to Silento’s “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae).”
It’s easy to see why so many people have fallen in love with this man’s moves!
Just when you think the video can’t get any better, Deputy Reed enters the elevator. At first, she’s taken aback by Deputy Scherb’s dancing – who wouldn’t? – but then she catches the bug and starts dancing, too! It’s a dance party in the elevator between two deputies.
How awesome is that?
