The kid seemed to go immediately into "survivor's guilt" mode. He barely escaped death, and he wonders whether this was his fault and/or if he could've done something to save the man.

His reaction was the one to watch. He got the full view and sound of what happened. Crazy to see it all unfold

I didn't even think of the sounds. Fuck.

Hmm good point! He maybe wondered, had he only gotten off faster, maybe the dude behind him wouldn't have been eaten by the elevator. Then again it's not really his fault as it seems that even as he's already walking out, the elevator was already not stopping to go down. I hope he sees this video so that he won't have to live with a guilt that he's not supposed to be carrying. It's just a horrible accident, possibly a product of bad maintenance.
