Elevator Drop 2016

What happens when Facilities checks out a camera from the MRC and uses it as a stunt double...

This is a 6-story drop with the car loaded with 2000# of steel weights to confirm proper operation of a new buffer (the teal device at bottom right which catches the car in the event of an uncontrolled fall). Major equipment is 1965-vintage Otis.

Idk why but I find the sound of the elevator car calming when the wheels on it make that vroom sound

[mapletreewayfan]

I thought the elevator was gonna brake your camera
