For decades elevators in Los Angeles County have displayed this reassuring bit of safety instruction.
Of course, it could be — and was — worse.
For years the message began with:
“If the elevator fails to operate or the doors fail to open, please do not become alarmed. There is little danger of running out of air or of this elevator falling uncontrollably.”
Thereby, no doubt, terrifying countless passengers who until that moment never had considered the possibility of running out of air or falling uncontrollably.
