I work for an elevator company and I answer calls like this all the time, this kid is adorable. Some people get so scared when they accidentally press the button, but there's no need. Just let us know you're ok and we don't mind one bit! Happens a lot!

You sound young, but surprisingly not annoying.

Hey dude, it's ok, mistakes happen, but you should remain calm and telling the person on the phone you accidentally pressed the phone button is the right thing to do!

Why the hell is the emergency button right below the fricken door close button

0:53 was that women humming from the phone.

if i were him i would have freaked the fuck out and ran

Hey man. Accidents happen which if it were on purpose that would be different. I’m glad the agent was understanding and that’s exactly how I would have been if it were an accident. And also you did exactly the right thing.

0:31 the way he got angry by less than a second 🤣🤣🤣🤣

That's why you look before you touch

0:33 Alexa play morty form Rick and morty

Its not your fault. For starts the Emergency Call button was the same hue as all the rest. it should be RED or something eye catching. And that was a nice panel :p

This kid is living on the edge.

Very funny. My mother once pressed the emergency call button by accident because she thought the phone symbol was a "C" as in "Concourse".

Oh I got the jitters

Congratulations on having one of KZfaq's most viewed elevator videos! (possibly in the top 100 most viewed elevator videos, maybe even top viewed that isn't one of DieselDucy's videos). Do you know if this video was shared by someone on any popular websites like Reddit? I once had a video suddenly get a lot of views from that. Did this video gain the views largely at a certain point, or over time? I don't think this video is fake at all. I assume maybe people think that because they don't see a reason to be recording an elevator (as many people don't know about elevator photography), or maybe they don't think anyone could accidentally hit the phone button (obviously that can happen, in fact that happened to me once back in 2009 or 2010 off camera, also on an Otis elevator with Series 1 fixtures). It went similar to this video, I told the person who answered that I accidentally hit the phone button, and he then said something, maybe something like "Oh, okay, have a nice day", and then hung up.

Dang it, dang it, dang it. Lol

0:30 so we were going to fi... **pressed call for help** BAM! Elevator:You Activated Call For help Video owner: CRAP!! CRAP!! CRAP!! NO! DAWN IT!! NGHHHH

He sounds like Jeff from Clarence XD

That is one of the worst spots to put a phone button on an elevator panel. The emergency buttons should be completely separated from the main controls like floor selection and the doors.

Unfortunately this is a very common problem with gen 1 and 2 Otis elevators. Thankfully Otis has fixed this problem with some of their gen 1 and 2 elevators but some still have this problem.

0:56 LOL

Imagine how many calls the lift company/emergency services get from careless people who don't pay attention and press the phone instead of door close. They should really have put the phone where the alarm is, below the buttons that will be pressed a lot. (I think this phone called 911) Here in the UK, and pretty much any European country, the phone is connected to the alarm button, where holding it down for 3, 5, or 10 seconds (depending on the lift's make and model) triggers the phone. Also, the button is yellow and usually at the top/bottom of the panel.

whistle *D E A T H T R A P*

Where i live there is just an alarm button, which in newer elevators will activate the phone (normally it requires the button to be pressed for anything from 3 to 20 seconds, most often its 5 or 10 seconds, but i have known it to activate after a single press) I have witnessed an “oops” with the alarm button (someone else in the elevator was leaning against the panel, and the elevator suddenly started saying to remain calm and that it will call for help (and a yellow “alarm activated” indicator lit up below the floor display, when the call was answered it changed to a green “speak to operator” indicator))

I hate it when they put emergency buttons so close to the open and close buttons. I've never tripped a phone before but I've hit the alarm by accident before. They should make a little hinged flap with adhesive on the stationary part for building owners to "retrofit" on poorly designed elevators and such. You'd think that with all the planning likely involved with something like an elevator, that SOMEONE would notice the design flaw!

This child is doing an elevator challenge just like dieselducy

Pressed the wrong button. Thug Life.

that operator was really sweet when he told that little boy when he accidentally pressed the emergency phone bottom in the elevator that it was OK because that was an accident

0:31 that was by mistake, and not on purpose that’s good😊

U deserve a medal of honor

"We want to go up to fiv- *presses phone instead of door close* "CRAP!"

This video came out when I WASNT EVEN ALIVE

Quote of the week - oh god! now I got the jItTErS

I've done this before but all the buttons were stacked on top of each other. Luckily I was able to deactivate it.

0:56 😂😂😂

Otis elevator will always protect you!

I have stayed at that same place it is nice and has a nice short walk to the beach (depending on what building you are in)

0:32 😳

I love you said "RAWRF" 😂

In Sweden we have to hold it for 3 seconds in order to activate it

To be fair, putting the emergency phone button DIRECTLY BELOW the door control buttons was probably a poor life choice on the part of the engineering team. they probably get all sorts of crap calls from elevators like this. I know in Europe you actually have to press and hold the button for ~5 seconds before it dials the call out.

i've did the samething last year,lol!

Ha ha ha deathtrap The way you said it was funny

Dude, Im sorry about what happened to you and how scared you got! Its ok if you press the phone, Just wait until someone starts talking with you and tell them the story. Trust me, they dont mind at all! (By the way am i legally allowed to say this?) I have to say your reaction was funny! No offense though :)

Oh PS. I did it again in another elevator LOL!

It was at this moment he knew he screwed up

Pretty much the same thing happened with me at First Canadian Place but it was not me who pressed the emergency phone that time.

They should put the phone where the alarm button is

I think you would know that the door close button doesn't close the doors. It simply deactivates the door sensors. Once you press and HOLD the door close button, if you wave your hands through the doors while they are closing, they will not open back up. Therefore, it wasn't necessary to press the door "close" button in the first place. ALSO, Near the top of the elevator (by the floor indicator panel) there is a button "call cancel" which you can clearly see at 1:13 You could have easily pressed that. I'm no expert when it comes to elevators, but it's not rocket science. Epic fail, I think so. BUT I completely agree; the door close and call button should NOT be placed that close. The call button should be distinguished by a different color, or size, and in a different place. I feel that it should also have a cover over it so it is not accidentally activated. BUT, the call button in large complex's (such as a condo building) usually does not call the police department. Usually they call the front desk, and the receptionist. Then there is a timer, where if the front desk does not receive the call THEN the police department is called. Therefore there was not really a reason to panic a whole lot. (which you didn't) They get activated all the time. So it wouldn't be worth while to send a fire truck, and ambulance EVERYTIME it was activated. nice vid....

What a design Fail!😂 The Emergency phone button, should be placed right under the emergency bell button(where if you press that button, it rings so that people can hear you) Or they should made it so that you have to press the emergency phone button for like at least like 3 seconds to call emergency services🤦‍♂️

This is one of my favorite videos!!

Arm starts shaking... Misses the close button. Calls 911

Bless they would be used to people hitting it by mistake all you need to do is say I hit it by mistake for what reason it used to happen to me where the open door and alarm were so close only took them 6 months to move it and probably 7 calls a day

The Phone Said: You have activated an emergency call to a federal station, when the call gets answered it will activate the alarm operator, message repeat. You have activated an emergency call to a federal station

Where's this at?

LOL CLARK THAT WAS HILARIOUS!

Yeah , he obviously did it on accident thats why he coincidentally recorded it before it happen

wow never knew Charlie brown rides the elevator lol

0:31 oh crap! i pressed the emergengy button!

What Place Is This Located At.

Well someone who designed those buttons only had ONE JOB

You have activated an emergency call to our central monitoring station. Connection takes about thirty seconds and will be answered by a live operator. Message repeat.

if that happened i will put an external phone closet on the bottom of the panel and remove the phone button on the panel

jitters made me laugh

0:11 *whistling* Death Trap

"You have activated the view generator system. Message repeat." Oh and yeah. Category Science & Technology.

this looks like a sheriff office elevator

0:31 E-P-I-Cccccc....Faillll! (Georgef551 doesn't care about use of it.) Interesting video!

This is what happens when ur teacher tells u to do too much homework...

The exact same thing happened to me except the alarm bell activated the phone

CRAP CRAP CRAP NO!!!! DANG IT! MMMMMMMMM!

That phone button is in a ridiculous spot. It's so close to the door close button and it doesn't look any different design wise to the other buttons

LOL 0:31

“DANG IT”

What place is this at.

Thank Otis for that one

Is anybody able to tell me what it said is soon as the call button on the phone was pushed? I couldn’t quite make it out. And what did the lady say when she answered? Did she say 911 where is your emergency?

Had a similar incident today and on camera

0:31 (EPIC FAIL) 📞

It's far too close to the door close button. It's insane

PRESS THE CALL CANCEL BUTTON AT THE TOP OF THE PANEL!!! Also I once bumped into the alarm panel in a Otis Gen2. Not a phone but the siren. Lol it was very funny and no one noticed lol

LOL that was funny. i thought when you press that button the elevator stops.

The heck, I have seen elevators like that that brings back a memory of me accidentally pushing the alarm bell button when I push, I meant to push the door close😮

Wow well at least you didn't get in trouble

Lol happens all the time to many elevator filters. Just tell them it was an accident....They really need to watch where they put the phone button.

Wow! That's a very bad place for call for help button. It should be in the middle or far away from door close. We should never press the call for help button.

Location?

bro squealed

Don't worry! You are not the first person to do that and you will not be the last.

0:12 death trap

Well at least you didn't get in trouble

I’ve pressed the alarm button before by accident thinking it was door open in 2011 when I was 11 years old

0:55 wines when he sees the light flashing that is says next the the light flashing means help on way

i did that when i got stuck in one for ten min in my school it was the one in red team people said never to ride that one because it was so called hunted witch i would see why thank god it died in a big flood and still hasn't bin fixed for 2 years

I have accidentally hit the alarm button at an airport elevator. We all make mistakes

Where is the retake or also the other elevator?

@clarkloveselevators Where is this at?

Like why would they put the emergency phone so close to the door buttons or the floor buttons. You wouldn’t think they would do that especially for like people who are older that might hit it by accident.

Wow that was close you almost got in trouble

Kirbyfrost46 must agree with you on that one.
