Korean Man in Wheelchair Autodarwinates

In an utterly stupid way, an obnoxious man in a wheelchair plunges to his death hundreds of feet down an elevator shaft for a ridiculous reason: he lacked patience. The horrific accident happened in a busy shopping center in Daejon, South Korea when the wheelchair man was rushing to the elevator whose doors were closing fast after a woman pressed the close button on the elevator. Anger rose rapidly the forty-year-old man known as Mr. Lee when he kept pressing the button near the elevator door to no effect. By that time the elevator had already risen. Not even bothering to think about the possible consequences, Mr. Lee proceeded to ram the closed elevator doors with his motorized wheelchair, causing dents to form on the doors. Unfortunately, during his last attempt the doors of the elevator opened the moment his chair was moving rapidly towards them. Unable to stop his wheelchair, he plunged to his death far down below. Security cameras recorded all of the man's foolishness. The management of the shopping center later made plans to improve the strength of the doors on the elevators so similar accidents won't happen again.
