I worked in a very old resort hotel that had three different brands of elevators. Each had a way of remotely raising or lowering the car. At least once a week one of these would stop between floors. It was only a matter of raising the car to unlock the brake and then moving it to floor level. A key was used in some cases to open the doors if they were inoperable. Never had to call for firemen or lift passengers out the ceiling with a ladder. Elevators usually stop unexpectedly if overloaded or kids jumping up and down in them. One of us electricians took care of this within minutes if we were on duty, but the night managers could do it in most cases. I think someone wanted Drumpf to squirm a little.

He should take it as a sign .... From God n/t kevinmc Jul 2016 #1
