There he met with the hall adviser and discovered that the elevator car was about 10 inches lower than the floor level. The officer then opened the doors in order to release the two male occupants inside.

When asked about their condition, they both stated that they were OK and had no complaints. They reported the elevator car just stopped and that the lights on panel suddenly shut off.
