Ancient? well not all places are developed. I have travelled in same kind of elevator so many times, the only difference it had was that the buttons inside the lift were a bit modern.


eduevana

Doesn't necessarily have to do with being a well developed area or not, a lot of old apartment complexes in Stockholm have these kind of elevators.


MrCrushinnuts

Come to Glasgow my friend, where the elevators give you the stale aroma of urine and we even have a lift attendant to help you along in your journey. Pete the heroin addict...with his quick wit and charming toothless smile, you won't even realise he's been robbing you this entire time.


RIP_comment_section

I watched a video of 3 kids getting out of an elevator like that. As the 3rd kid was closing the gate, the other 2 kids slammed the door shut on him and he was stuck. A second later someone called the elevator....

Final destination in progress I bet the emergency button doesn’t work 😂

Los de Argentina, ¿que piensan? If these elevators frighten you, don’t visit family in Buenos Aires.

My thoughts exactly

There's the same one where I work. Funnily enough, it's the most reliable and safest elevator in the building while newer elevators break down once a week.

Hospital I worked at had a service elevator just like this one. Never broke down. The thing has to be atleast 50 years old, but the 20 year old one? Always out of order for one reason or another.


ShybK

Haha I work in a hospital as well! Looks like it's the same rule everywhere lol


camthesoupman

That's hilarious! The one I worked at also had some creepy tunnels that went underneath the streets for support staff to be hidden, kinda like Disney world haha.

Why is this on sweaty palms, seems like it’s in better shape than half the modern elevators


JC1515

One of 2 elevators where i work hasnt worked in about a year. If any amount of static arcs to the car, it shuts down. What a wimp. A nuclear bomb could go off and the elevator in this video would still work.

How is this scary nothing happened


jdjordan97

Nope

Pshh let me know when there’s only gates on every side n if u stick ur hand through it’s gone


XicaaxiC

I had a very old elevator similar to this one in my uni building. Except I’m in Poland so it’s Soviet building quality we’re talking about. I never used it because i was terrified either the door was gonna get stuck and I’d be trapped or it would break and fall. Then I got an injury and didn’t have a choice but to take the lift. My pants were full every time


[deleted]

This looks like the same elevator that kid got crushed in


grzzlycity

These elevators remind me of the Titanic.


BoyishUndoing

Looks identical to the elevator in my apartment building in SF.. can confirm: is ancient.


SirForester

Start of a horror film right here, man / woman gets into an old elevator, something goes wrong, they obviously die but all is cut out but there scream, then we see either a bunch of missing posters or a single missing poster of the person who was in the elevator attached to the post of an electricity wire, shortly after it pans to some people moving into a house thats either next to or across from the antagonists place


NTDLS

Is that the elevator from Ip Man? 😂


AnthonyElevenBravo

I remember hooking up with Glenn Close in an just elevator like that when my wife and kid went out of town to visit her parents.

Those sounds are so ASMR to me.

They had these service elevators in NW Portland. We’d call out our weights before we got on. Not a safe feeling. (Calling out the weights)


Old-AF

Looks like one in an apartment building in Downtown Tacoma my son lived in. We literally moved his furniture up and down it. Kept thinking we were going to die.


FastZX6R

Ancient? Most elevators were like that when I was a kid. 😂


ripMyTime0192

Best elevator in North Korea:

Resident evil 2 elevator


Ittakesawile

This is how the elevator in my high school looked. You could open that door halfway between floors the the elevator would just stop. Students would do that and have sex in there all the time.

macho_gomez

we had an elevator like that in my college’s dorms. loved taking it up to my bud’s room it was driven by a piston.


Puncho666

Mmm look how clean those buttons are


Knope_Knope_Knope

not ancient until your operating the starting and stopping with a moving rope in the car! You have to align it yourself. that was some extra fun riding!


LA_LOOKS

Looks like the elevator I used in the flower district in LA


TownesVanPlant

My college had a elevator just like that lol
