I remember when this used to happen in my old NYC apartment building in the early 2000s. Crazy part, the overshoot / undershoot would vary each time. Didn’t know what you were going to get. Occasionally the door opened to reveal a wall instead lmao.
Same in my old building in Brooklyn back in the 90s. My mother and I lived on the 6th floor and it would undershoot by 3 to 4 feet. Sometimes when we would press 6, it would go to the basement first for no reason, the up to 6, undershoot, doors open, then it’d level out perfectly on 6. Good times and weird times 😂
Hah, this is nothing, our elevator sometimes stops in between the floors, and we are jumping from the elevator :D I'll take a photo next time when it happens.
Oof! That doesn't look pleasant at all! I wonder what caused the elevator to do that the second time you rode the elevator up? Hopefully some maintance will solve the problem.
Yeah this could use some serious maintenance! Not only that but the doors don't even stay open long enough for the average person to get in and out quickly.
I was on a Haughton once that would do this on a slight occasion going from 1 to 2. Only it would start off leveling while the doors were open. It was a hotel in Memphis that was 20 floors and that was the only time it would do it from 1 to 2. It was very unsafe.
My lift at my apartment had a dark past a man tied a rope in it and he ran out of the lift just before the doors shut.... and the lift went up a few floors and he hung himself BUT THE MOTOR WAS HAVING problems bc of his body being crushed AND SINCE TODAY the motor is slow and it rattles pretty badly today
Bro. The elevator closes in 1 second. Like just close in 3 seconds maybe. Btw how do I fix an elevator that keeps opening by its self cause the cursor thing fell. The janitor messes up the elevator so thet can clean it without the elevator breaking. Maybe give me some tips to fix it?
WOW. That’s bad! I remember when patricknedz found himself in a similar situation where It did not level with the floor. I also had that occasion once on a Schindler elevator and got stuck in the elevator. I did not film it when it happened because I was like 8 or 9 years old!
That actually happened to me on more than one Westinghouse. One time it stopped and didn’t open and when I pressed open it wasn’t level, the other time was from 1958, it opened too early and was above the floor.
As for this elevator, they better get it fixed before it ends up red tagged, and they better do so without modding it! Cause Westies are getting to be too rare!
The elevator is not in good operating condition, lack of lubrication in the roller bearing in the door guide rollers, tracks bearings, other parts can cause malfunctions. As for overshooting on floor landing, doors suddenly closing, there is likely trouble with the controller and floor selector. I would 2nd having it red tagged till it is repaired and tested before put back into service.
One of the Cal Neva Nevadan cars used to do that above the top floor once in a while. I think I have a picture somewhere. If I do, I'll shoot you an e-mail.
Yo... 🤔🤔Why tf are you playing on this elevator? Just get tf off. If you look for trouble long enough, youll find it. This video couldve went left super quick.
This is one of my worst nightmares,so I'm alone in there 17 years old (I'm not actually 17 its part of the story)and I get stuck randomly I'm like "WHO MADE THIS ELEVATOR ITS NOT EVEN STABLE" but its over now oh and FIX THAT ELEVATOR.

This channel may not be as popular now, but back then (4 years ago) this caught my attention. 😊

Now That's a HUGE Epic Fail! The way that this elevator over levels that much, that's beyond 100% unsafe, like they need to fix their elevator!
Hah, this is nothing, our elevator sometimes stops in between the floors, and we are jumping from the elevator :D I'll take a photo next time when it happens.
@@sali-ali If thats really the case, then its better just to take stairs than ride that elevator until repairs or reconstruction of the elevator.
let's hope someone get this elevator fixed
That's a cool looking elevator, beautiful example of 1960s design by the looks of it.
Oof! That doesn't look pleasant at all! I wonder what caused the elevator to do that the second time you rode the elevator up? Hopefully some maintance will solve the problem.
Maybe something with the door zone switch

HOLY that is so bad. imagine being someone outside of the elevator watching that. welp thats a westy for you. sounds like the controler had an oof.

wow same! I was like 8 years old too!

@@patricknedz Yea I remember that video
Definitely scary there. I hope they fix the elevator
The interior looks nice though.
What was wrong with the elevator
I may perhaps not see the distance properly , but It appears to me to be within acceptable range on old elevator (levelling two inches)
As for this elevator, they better get it fixed before it ends up red tagged, and they better do so without modding it! Cause Westies are getting to be too rare!
1:27 danger!
I had a Westinghouse from 1958 do this a few times but it opened back up after.
It looked like it was about to pre door when the epevator overshot.

all comments i will see: fix it!!!, yoo that's unsafe!
me: nice westy
Gotta stay positive lol. I totally agree, but they better get this fixed before modernization is the only option...
Same. Westinghouse is my favorite elevator manufacturer
That’s really dangerous!
Geez that's a very strange malfunction. It definitely needs some serious maintenance done.
I see you have attracted a lot of non-elevator enthusiasts
Did you get to ride the Tower elevators here this time?
Nope unfortunately
@@Jowevator3219 Was the security guard an ass like last time?
Nah I just saw two guards at the desk and didn’t feel like tryin
The way you said telephone and Westinghouse was funny 😂
What's the cause?
Controller glitch?
Ok that’s just scary! Why didn’t you just get off? Lol. Hope this is fixed so it’s not red tagged and/or modded!
Did you see those doors? As soon as they opened, they closed right back up.
No exit for you. You're going for a rideeeeee.
Doug Trovinger He still could’ve tried to leave
Well that’s cool it’s original. I don’t think you noticed, but it has Black AE!!!
My guess is that this is likely a relay or selector problem....
The lift is trying to scare you on purpose the elevator knows you are in THERE hehe
Ok. That is dangerous. It needs to be fixed
Yeah
Now, that's a bad Westy that wants to show you what it can do to you on camera!
Door sounds sick too
Overshoots the floor? Come here to Czechia and look for old Transporta elevators.
What city is this in?
NV
Undisclosed city?
No I just didn’t put it in the title since that wasn’t the main purpose of this video. I have posted this elevator before
Wow I never see a elevator over level that is dangerous
You call that overshoot, I call it "just fine"
Wait, how tf did you know I grew up with soviet elevators???
What do you use to edit?
Adobe Premiere Elements
@@Jowevator3219 I use Premiere pro on computer and premiere rush or imovie on my iphone
This is a problem and needs to fix
Is there elevator laws in the USA? These seem very unsafe elevators
it just looks like the elevator isn't maintained properly.
One of the Cal Neva Nevadan cars used to do that above the top floor once in a while. I think I have a picture somewhere. If I do, I'll shoot you an e-mail.
And of course, it’s a Westy. Why am I not surprised?
I heard the elevator just said "shut up!"
Westinghouse’s always seem to break
Ooh that is a bad westy
That door timer tho...
Did he just say oh shit
It BrOke bEcaASe yoU weRe pLAyInG wiTH it. STOP plAyiNg with ElEvATorS theY aREnT toYs
So true. I get accused of playing with elevators all the time. Especially because I’m short and look like a kid
Mixture of stairs and elevator XD
Yo... 🤔🤔Why tf are you playing on this elevator? Just get tf off. If you look for trouble long enough, youll find it. This video couldve went left super quick.

No this dangerous 🥺
The door almost closed on me in a hospital.
This video had 666 likes when I watched it!😆
And my elevator is ill too.

That door opening and closing sound is God-awful! 😫
Wow that's not good!

Elevator should be out of order in that case
The doors need to be badly oiled.
He should’ve just ran out why he vould
Damn what the fuck!
Epic Fails elevator

This is one of my worst nightmares,so I'm alone in there 17 years old (I'm not actually 17 its part of the story)and I get stuck randomly I'm like "WHO MADE THIS ELEVATOR ITS NOT EVEN STABLE" but its over now oh and FIX THAT ELEVATOR.
