Man injured in Auckland lift incident - National - NZ Herald News:
Concrete falling down a lift shaft in central Auckland today resulted in an "explosion-like bang'' and a suspected perforated eardrum for one man.

Eyewitnesses saw a man being escorted out of the Westpac building on lower Queen St, where he was taken into an ambulance while holding his ear.


An ambulance spokesman said a man in his 30s was being assessed at the scene after a loud boom was heard in the top of the lift about 11.25am.


"There was no fire, no flames or heat present at that time.''
