If you think about it, elevators may be the safest form of transportation we have. Millions of people use them every day. Rarely do you hear of someone being killed… or even injured on one.

But some people are being hurt on elevators in government buildings belonging to one metro county.  Others are getting trapped when the elevator decides to simply stop between floors. The county has gone through three maintenance companies in the last two years, trying to fix the problems. But no one in the county apparently knew what we discovered about the last maintenance company:  the boss was encouraging his employees to fake the safety tests on the elevators they were contracted to maintain.

Starting Monday at 6 we’ll introduce you to a former employee who explains why the company insisted he falsify these important tests. The boss blames the whistleblower, but how come the boss wouldn’t explain what we heard him say on our surveillance tape? The state calls our findings “damning evidence.” It’s already prompted state action.

Have you ever had a problem on an elevator? Do you know anyone who chooses to take the stairs instead? And do you know what that state inspection card in the elevator really means when it comes to safety tests?

Looking forward to reading your reaction to our special report.
