[Recorded on 3-18-21 at 4:47pm] For where the elevator malfunctions, go to 4:31 in the video. What happened was while the elevator was accelerating, it suddenly came to a halt, which came as quite a shock to me (it felt as if the elevator was free-falling for about one second). I've never been stuck in an elevator before, but this is the closest I've come.
These elevators were installed in 1966 by Westinghouse, then were modded, likely in the 2000s, by Schindler. Despite the mod, many features of the old elevators were kept, such as the "this car up" lanterns in the lobby as well as some of the bells. When this building opened 55 years ago, it was the tallest building in Florida, surpassing the Floridan Palace, until the Park Tower was built in 1972.
