A horrific accident in India killed a Chicago area tech CEO and seriously injured the company’s president, and the whole thing was caught on video.
What was designed to be a celebration of success turned tragic when CEO Sanjay Shah, 56, and the company president, Raju Datla, 52, fell 15 feet in front of a packed audience at a party for employees of Vistex, a software company based in Hoffman Estates, Ill.
One of the highlights was an aerial show. A specially designed stage made of wood was elevated 20 feet above the concrete stage using a crane. Shah and Datla were in an iron cage.
They were supposed to be lowered, but the iron chain supporting the cage broke on one side, causing them to fall 15 feet onto the main stage.
I’ll accept single pane glass in a high rise.
What’s the movie where they have an executive get onto a conference table and run through a window, and then later another exec does exactly the same thing but they’ve replaced the glass and he just bounces off, and the people in the meeting juat continue with work?
The Hudsucker Proxy! Great movie in general, very funny.
Here’s the initial “jumper” scene (trigger warning for self-ending via jump) https://youtu.be/-FPuyMHo2N8?si=xCqAaS8mF0u1XP9U
And here’s the failed follow: https://youtu.be/Jqe6tBKmFJA?si=zntGnFBNSIidQzAA
I thought that might be it! Fantastic movie.
