Reading the CBS story tells the jist of it. One broken hoist rope, the occupants stated the cab “careened” down the hoist way, but all were rescued without any major injuries. I’d imagine if 90-something floors of rope came crashing down on a cab I was in while moving, I’d pee my pants too. Blind hoist way rescues are tough, which evidently this was.
What’s amazing to me is that firefighters could locate the cab, cut or hammer their way through a concrete wall and extract trapped passengers. Luck or what?
