Dangerous Elevator Malfunction! Westinghouse Elevator Overshoots The Floor!
Вставка

- [Recorded 7-25-19] I'm not sure WHAT was going on here, but it is definitely red tag worthy!! This was supposed to be a normal elevator video, and all was going well until my second ride up. Somewhere between the 2nd and 3rd floor, the elevator decided to just stop really hard and open its doors. The car was completely over the floor. I'm surprised the door could even open and close properly being that unaligned. After that, the elevator traveled at leveling speed up to 3. Super weird experience. As for the elevator itself, this is a rare original 1966 Westinghouse AE! They should get that checked out before somebody gets hurt. I tried calling with the help phone in the lobby to report it but nobody answered and I didn't have time to wait. Let's just hope it's fixed by now...

Now That's a HUGE Epic Fail! The way that this elevator over levels that much, that's beyond 100% unsafe, like they need to fix their elevator!
Hah, this is nothing, our elevator sometimes stops in between the floors, and we are jumping from the elevator :D I'll take a photo next time when it happens.
@@sali-ali If thats really the case, then its better just to take stairs than ride that elevator until repairs or reconstruction of the elevator.
I remember when this used to happen in my old NYC apartment building in the early 2000s. Crazy part, the overshoot / undershoot would vary each time. Didn’t know what you were going to get. Occasionally the door opened to reveal a wall instead lmao.
let's hope someone get this elevator fixed
That's a cool looking elevator, beautiful example of 1960s design by the looks of it.
Oof! That doesn't look pleasant at all! I wonder what caused the elevator to do that the second time you rode the elevator up? Hopefully some maintance will solve the problem.
Maybe something with the door zone switch
HOLY that is so bad. imagine being someone outside of the elevator watching that. welp thats a westy for you. sounds like the controler had an oof.
I was on a Haughton once that would do this on a slight occasion going from 1 to 2. Only it would start off leveling while the doors were open. It was a hotel in Memphis that was 20 floors and that was the only time it would do it from 1 to 2. It was very unsafe.
The way you said telephone and Westinghouse was funny 😂
As for this elevator, they better get it fixed before it ends up red tagged, and they better do so without modding it! Cause Westies are getting to be too rare!
Yeah this could use some serious maintenance! Not only that but the doors don't even stay open long enough for the average person to get in and out quickly.
WOW. That’s bad! I remember when patricknedz found himself in a similar situation where It did not level with the floor. I also had that occasion once on a Schindler elevator and got stuck in the elevator. I did not film it when it happened because I was like 8 or 9 years old!
wow same! I was like 8 years old too!
That actually happened to me on more than one Westinghouse.
One time it stopped and didn’t open and when I pressed open it wasn’t level, the other time was from 1958, it opened too early and was above the floor.
@@patricknedz Yea I remember that video
all comments i will see: fix it!!!, yoo that's unsafe!
me: nice westy
Gotta stay positive lol. I totally agree, but they better get this fixed before modernization is the only option...
Same. Westinghouse is my favorite elevator manufacturer
Definitely scary there. I hope they fix the elevator
The interior looks nice though.
Geez that's a very strange malfunction. It definitely needs some serious maintenance done.
That’s really dangerous!
Bro. The elevator closes in 1 second. Like just close in 3 seconds maybe.
Btw how do I fix an elevator that keeps opening by its self cause the cursor thing fell. The janitor messes up the elevator so thet can clean it without the elevator breaking. Maybe give me some tips to fix it?
My lift at my apartment had a dark past a man tied a rope in it and he ran out of the lift just before the doors shut.... and the lift went up a few floors and he hung himself BUT THE MOTOR WAS HAVING problems bc of his body being crushed AND SINCE TODAY the motor is slow and it rattles pretty badly today
Now, that's a bad Westy that wants to show you what it can do to you on camera!
I had a Westinghouse from 1958 do this a few times but it opened back up after.
Ok that’s just scary! Why didn’t you just get off? Lol. Hope this is fixed so it’s not red tagged and/or modded!
Did you see those doors? As soon as they opened, they closed right back up.
No exit for you. You're going for a rideeeeee.
Doug Trovinger He still could’ve tried to leave
Well that’s cool it’s original. I don’t think you noticed, but it has Black AE!!!
1:27 danger!
Door sounds sick too
It looked like it was about to pre door when the epevator overshot.
I may perhaps not see the distance properly , but It appears to me to be within acceptable range on old elevator (levelling two inches)
I see you have attracted a lot of non-elevator enthusiasts
What was wrong with the elevator
What's the cause?
Controller glitch?
Ok. That is dangerous. It needs to be fixed
Yeah
The elevator is not in good operating condition, lack of lubrication in the roller bearing in the door guide rollers, tracks bearings, other parts can cause malfunctions. As for overshooting on floor landing, doors suddenly closing, there is likely trouble with the controller and floor selector. I would 2nd having it red tagged till it is repaired and tested before put back into service.
My guess is that this is likely a relay or selector problem....
Wow I never see a elevator over level that is dangerous
Are you saying people DON'T like tripping over the elevator and then getting crushed by the doors?
(just kidding, that's not safe)
And of course, it’s a Westy. Why am I not surprised?
One of the Cal Neva Nevadan cars used to do that above the top floor once in a while. I think I have a picture somewhere. If I do, I'll shoot you an e-mail.
Did you get to ride the Tower elevators here this time?
Nope unfortunately
@@Jowevator3219 Was the security guard an ass like last time?
Nah I just saw two guards at the desk and didn’t feel like tryin
That door timer tho...
Overshoots the floor? Come here to Czechia and look for old Transporta elevators.
Mixture of stairs and elevator XD
Ooh that is a bad westy
Westinghouse’s always seem to break
What do you use to edit?
Adobe Premiere Elements
@@Jowevator3219 I use Premiere pro on computer and premiere rush or imovie on my iphone
This video had 666 likes when I watched it!😆
And my elevator is ill too.
No this dangerous 🥺
I heard the elevator just said "shut up!"
Is there elevator laws in the USA? These seem very unsafe elevators
it just looks like the elevator isn't maintained properly.
Did he just say oh shit
What city is this in?
NV
Undisclosed city?
No I just didn’t put it in the title since that wasn’t the main purpose of this video. I have posted this elevator before
The door almost closed on me in a hospital.
Epic Fails elevator
It BrOke bEcaASe yoU weRe pLAyInG wiTH it. STOP plAyiNg with ElEvATorS theY aREnT toYs
So true. I get accused of playing with elevators all the time. Especially because I’m short and look like a kid
Man I saw that thumbnail that's bad
Elevator should be out of order in that case
The doors need to be badly oiled.
Wow that's not good!
Damn what the fuck!
That door opening and closing sound is God-awful! 😫
He should’ve just ran out why he vould
dat old boi need help.
I would've been in a fetal position lol
WECO😭
This is one of my worst nightmares,so I'm alone in there 17 years old (I'm not actually 17 its part of the story)and I get stuck randomly I'm like "WHO MADE THIS ELEVATOR ITS NOT EVEN STABLE" but its over now oh and FIX THAT ELEVATOR.
Lol
Yo... 🤔🤔Why tf are you playing on this elevator? Just get tf off. If you look for trouble long enough, youll find it. This video couldve went left super quick.
