"Total disbelief. Frankly, still in disbelief," Charles said in the emotional interview. "I talked to him the night before he died, told him I loved him, that I was proud of him."
Tyler Hartfield also took the elevator that morning. He can be seen on surveillance video making it out of the lift just in the nick of time.
"As I was stepping out, I felt the elevator from from underneath my foot. I heard other people in the elevator start screaming. I turned around and saw another man try to get out and get crushed," he said.
