The Towering Inferno - Scenic Elevator Explosion

Aiming to get a small group of people safe from the promenade room, Doug Roberts sends them down with the scenic elevator with is gravity brakes activated. But the fire catches them by surprise and nearly causes the elevator to break loose and fall.

[@windstorm1000]

Her death is definitely the most shocking thing of the movie--partially because the character was so nice, but also of the random nature of smoke/fire to take anyone's life.

[@FabinhoFlapp]

The saddest scene in the movie. She was a lovely lady. Peace, Mrs. Lisolette. ✨️🙏🏻✨️

[@Yuhon100]

I heard that she passed away and this was her last movie. I haven't heard from her until she made an appearance on the Academy Award. It is the saddest scene in this movie, they couldn't rescue her on time when she fell, but the firefighter did catch the girl on time, and couldn't grab her as she fells out from the glass elevator.

I think EVERYONE who saw this movie (me seeing it as a child back then at the movies) cried or gasped aloud during this scene, even dreading it when seeing it in syndication, as it was the SADDEST part of the movie.

[@alanellaway8066]

Jenifer Jones character of Lisolette was he only decent female part in the movie, all the other's were basically just "love interest" to the male leads. She is brave and lovely( and incidentally only about 5 years older than Paul Newman), to hear her speak such a self effacing line to Fred Astaire at the beginning about being grateful that at her age her dates showed up(Astaire was 20 years older than Jennifer) was truly annoying. She rescued the kids and did sterling work though the movie, If any of the characters deserved to survive it was hers. I was very upset at her ending in this movie, and in hindsight particularly so as it was pretty much also the end of her film career. She had owned the rights to Terms of Endearment but didn't get to play it.. she might have been great in the part that Shirley Maclaine won her well deserved Oscar for.

[@jondstewart]

I know what you mean. This movie was great except I was extremely sad when Fred Astaire's character got the news and O.J. Simpson gave him her sweet kitty and he's all alone with that cat himself.

+Alan Ellaway It's been years since I've read "The Glass Inferno" but what I do remember about it was that the building was 66 stories tall, the city where it was located was never named (although I felt it was Chicago), and the scene in the elevator was changed in that there were both men and women in it; it was one of the men who fell out of the elevator when it was blown off its rails.

Obviously, one of the tenants was a mail-order gun powder supplier, hence the explosions. A spreading fire won't cause explosions unless it comes into contact with explosive material that's not likely to be found in a commercial/residential building.

[@PungiFungi]

Yes, there were a lot of convenient explosions in the films. In the novel, there was only one explosion, it blew the stairs that Lisolette and Jernigan was on (in the novel, it was OJ's character with Lisolette, not Doug, and it was Lisolette who improvised using an emergency fire hose to climb down with one of the kids on her back), blew the scenic elevator off its tracks. In the novel, Lisolette, Harry and the kids escaped all the way down to the lobby after the stairs incident. A man fell out of the scenic elevator during the rescue attempt when the helicopter was lifting it to the roof. The people from the Promenade Room were rescued via helicopter so there were nobody in the top floor when they blew the water tanks. Lisolette was reunited with Harlee and the cast at the end of the novel. Too much of a happy ending for irwin Allen, I guess.

In modern day, we have the jumpers from 9/11, the Twin Towers were 25 floors shorter than the Glass Tower. In fiction, Mrs Mueller screamed all the way down until she impacted the building and then continued her silent fall to the street below. In reality, the 9/11 jumpers flailed and fell silently, as their bodies had reached terminal velocity of 121mph, coupled with the terror and extreme stress, likely rendering them unconscious. I choose that as my belief, that in reality, such a fall would make you lose consciousness. But in the movie, a terrifying, screaming fall is more shocking to audiences watching. 👍🏼

Irwin Allen always killed off the mother figures. When you watch the film, Jennifer is the only female role that had any substance.

That would really have given Paul Newman's character more of a guilt complex.
