A man who was in a hotel lift which plummeted three floors to the ground has told the High Court that in the seconds before it went into free fall, the lift swayed, and it felt like it was hanging on a thread.
Kevin Meehan ended up with multiple fractures to the spine and was in a wheelchair for three months after the incident, when the lift at the Killarney Plaza Hotel dropped three floors, crashing into the basement-level car park 10 years ago.
