We've had several safety meetings on this same scenario. I really hope that a mechanic did not move this elevator without verifying the situation. This will surely be the the topic of future safety meetings and reminds us to slow down and verify the situation even under intense entrapment conditions.
I don't care if the building manager or engineer is standing over me and yelling at me, that elevator is not moving until I know what's up with the elevator and occupant.
