I’m floored. (But why has no one yet asked, “If you could jump up just as the elevator hit the bottom of the elevator shaft, could you survive?” (I’m not asking, by the way.)

They’re trying to, ‘Breitbart’ Gretta!

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Some of it was filmed, where at one point Reverend Graham quips “if it goes down, I’m going up."

I admire him for showing calm humor in these circumstances.

“If I had to be in a falling elevator, I’d rather be with Franklin Graham than Annie Laurie Gaylor.”

LOL! With Hillary! in the shaft, looking up! :)

I was on one once that ran away upwards, not down. Stopped on 28th floor and quite a hike to take stairs to 5th floor where I had wanted to stop.

A friend that worked on elevators told the greatest risk is an elevator running away up, not down. Either way, scary.

“Incidentally, if a lift is headed uncontrollably to the bottom, the best possible way to survive is to lie flat on the floor.”

Total myth. You step out just as it hits. Bugs Bunny did this on a few occasions.

3rd world elevators. Just wait until Americans tourists start flocking to Cuba!

Hanoi is in Vietnam

Down Wei Goh !

The biggest risk was walking through the pried open doors. No one likes to get cut in half.

I remember the old joke about a man telling of his harrowing experience of being trapped in an elevator with a group of people.

“First the claustrophobia set in, then the hysterical panic. Eventually we had to drink our own urine just to survive.”

“Was anyone hurt?”

“No, fortunately after about an hour the elevator started working again.”
