Yeah but what if Dennis Hopper blows the explosive charges he’s attached to the brakes?
Or what if you go back in time to 1945 and are operating an Empire State Building elevator when a B-25 crashes into it?
Elevator operator Betty Lou Oliver was injured. Rescuers decided to transport her on an elevator that they did not know had weakened cables. The cables snapped and the elevator fell 75 stories, ending up in the basements. She managed to survive the fall, which still stands as the Guinness World Record for the longest survived elevator fall, and was later found by rescue workers among the rubble.
