- Waterluvian 3y agoIt's quite profound how panic can be the biggest source of danger in many emergencies. I guess the era had sign technology but not intercom technology for elevators. Perhaps a loud bell would ring or something else like that.
- mrguyorama 3y agoThat's SOP for elevator emergencies. The only safe place in an elevator shaft is inside the safe metal box. That box almost never drops uncontrollably, because there are at least three independent systems to prevent such a thing. Just wait for the local firefighters or repairman to come open the doors for you.
