As we head into an extended Thanksgiving Weekend this show by far has the most number of elevator related accidents that I've ever talked about. The accident in China where a lift plunged 34 floors killing 11 has to be one of the worst in the past two years while doing the show. As the news stories point out we have so much to be thankful for. For those of you out in the field please practice safety every day of the year and for the rest of us let's all take a moment to be thankful for what we have. On a more update note next week is our prize pack giveaway so listen to that show as you could be our November Prize Pack Winner! Have a nice Holiday everyone and safe travels to those who will be away from home. Give an extra hug to each one of your family members this Thanksgiving weekend. Calendar Links

Wow, I can't believe it's already November. Next week is Elevator Escalator Safety Week! If you're like me and love elevators and escalators make sure you're doing your part to ensure that kids and older adults are educated in riding them. There are many ways you can help, visit www.eesf.org today to learn about them. I want to thank all of you who have purchased items from our online store.  Your support helped us raise $500.00 which was sent to the Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation last week!  We've got a great show for you today with some pretty important stories that you'll be the first to learn about, some of which just posted moments ago.  Also remember that this Sunday is Veterans Day. If you know a Veteran please thank them for serving our country.
