Tragedy Strikes as Glass Elevator Plunges at Bali Resort, Claiming Five Lives

Five workers at a luxury resort in Bali were killed when the cable supporting the hotel's Instagram-famous glass elevator snapped, causing them to plummet 300 feet down a ravine. Two people died on impact, while three others died later at the hospital. The rope pulling the elevator was not strong enough, and there was no secondary safety mechanism in place. Authorities are investigating the cause of the accident and the lack of safety measures. The resort's owner will pay for the funerals of the deceased.
