Death-Proof Elevator - How We Invented the World

[@goldenretriever6440]

I remember hearing when he demonstrated his machine He scared everyone to death when he announced the rope was about to be cut And when it just stopped He simply took off his hat and said "All safe gentlemen all safe" I wish I could do something so brilliant

Woah. I've watched this segment before and it's a really interesting topic.

[@Grasshopper80s4ever]

He forgot to do the safety dance !!!.

[@TheMrRamonlle]

But he is actually a serious mechanic in inventing stuff like safety elevators.

Where i found full episode

[@keith800]

To think it all started off when he made his own elevator in his bed frame factory , yet it is a shame he died in poverty.

[@thetrialshot]

[@nowhereman6019]

My god, theae historical recreations are always so cheesy.

[@Superfoot]

His name was Elisha Otis not Elijah...Americans are so uninformed....

[@deanprananda]

Minor typo

[@Douglas.Kennedy]

@@deanprananda It's amusing that the "uniformed American" and epically bearded Otis somehow managed to invent a safe elevator, something that had eluded the cleanly shaven Europeans for centuries.

[@John-i7o]

Elisha came from Elijah
