MyLondon reported that on the day of the incident, Sukhin Tye was inside the lift when the doors failed to open and the emergency alarm button displayed a line fault message. She used WhatsApp to contact neighbours, who then called the fire brigade and helped her leave the car. After the rescue, she complained to the Corporation and safety notices were placed in April.
