Been in those elevators. Scary. Lucky to be alive.
Safety inspections cannot anticipate, they help prevent, but failures will still occur.
There will be an investigation, and the first part of the investigation will ensure that the safety inspections were carried out correctly. If the safety inspections were by the letter of the law, and checked everything that was supposed to be checked then the safety inspection was done properly.
I can’t even imagine!
Those elevators are the fastest I have ever been on. I would never want to be stuck in one of those.
