@uppo72, thank you for taking time to read my thread.
Speaking of electrical glitches, I actually have a question about one:
I recall once someone once told me, that they know a person whom was traveling up in a highrise building, when to their horror suddenly the numbers on the display (not sure what kind) have reset themselves half way up and started counting from the ground floor again, despite being somewhere around 15-th floor or so with only some 6 floors to go before the top...
Supposedly the cab crashed into the top pretty hard, then cam down one floor and the door opened so this person was able to bolt out of it, presumably needing a new set of underwear....
Could this somehow happen, or was I a victim of an urban legend?...
Your example is not uncommon. I would also suggest don't get caught up on superlatives like 'crashed' as it is incorrect and places a slant on the typical write ups from journo's to paint a picture of a lack of safety in lifts. What happened most likely, is the lift got what we call out of step. This happens sometimes but in NO WAY is the lift now UNSAFE. The lift will then continue in the up direction until in performs a CONTROLLED slow down into the top floor via the emergency terminal stopping. The reason why it 'seems' like it crashes is because the slowdown is done within a certain distance and has to be done quickly.
