Narrative

EE was taking the passenger elevator on the preheater tower when a gust of wind moved the power cable and got attached to 8"" piece of conduit. The power cable wrapped itself around the conduit and pulled the power cable apart, electrically disabling the elevator car. Fire rescue and Executive Elevator had to be called to rescue the EE from the elevator car.
