Five workers at a luxury resort in Bali plummeted to their deaths Friday when the cable supporting the hotel’s Instagram-famous glass elevator snapped, sending the employees plunging 300 feet down a ravine.
Two men and three women who were part of the housekeeping staff at the Ayuterra Resort were inside the elevator at about 1 p.m. when the cable snapped.
They have been identified as Kadek Hardiyanti, 24, Sang Putu Bayu Adi Krisna, 19, Ni Luh Supernigsih, 20, I Wayan Aries Setiawan, 23, and Kadek Yanti Pradewi, 19, all from Indonesia.
Two people died on impact, while three died later at the hospital.
The rope pulling the elevator was not strong enough, resulting in it snapping, Ubud Police Chief Police Commissioner Made Uder said, according to The Bali Sun.
