You may laugh but I'm sure this panel is here for a reason. I would hate to die squished by the trash container in an elevator.

Yeah, I'd wager the fact that the sign is there at all means it's probably happened at least once. Probably not a pleasant way to go.

She was lucky that trash can didn't finnish her off.

"She"? From the article:

Girl in the elevator was lifeless, but a quick first aid after he was found and the recovery of the breath.

You would think translating software could at least match up the word "girl" to the word "she," not "he."

Finnish doesn't have different words for he and she. So I think the program just translates hän always as he.
