Firefighters rescued two men who nearly drowned in a flooding elevator as torrential rains hit New York on Sunday. The men were moving construction supplies to the upper floors at the former Staten Island Hotel. The elevator doors wouldn't open so the men decided to try the basement, which, unbeknownst to them, was flooding. Source: Staten Island Advance
