The elevator video was terrifying, but then I have elevator nightmares. Well, I used to; haven't had one in a long time but after watching that the dry spell could end.

Just watched it. Yikes.

If it's any consolation I used to hang out with an Elevator guy, and he used to say that you have almost nothing to fear in a modern elevator, but escalators should terrify you. Sleep well. :)

I've been giving that much thought and I have decided I do not really agree with your elevator friend. Moving stairs or a prison cell hanging on cables and it will let you out when and if it gets good and ready.

Stairs, thank you. I've never cared for relinquishing control.

Google escalator malfunction. :)

The videos you can see aren’t nearly the worst of it.

But we’re getting away from the funny.
