Pop a sprinkler head on an upper level near the elevator doors... Death to the elevators!
Well, three sides of the elevator shaft are usually shear walls, that might hold back the flood? If concrete?
Water and elevators, hate each other.

Ha....and in the Soviet of San Francisco....the new bus terminal needs a roof support.
The "environmentally" climate controlled building needs window shades and portable heaters
And the famous "Leaning Tower of San Francisco" built on former land fill with foundations only half way to bed rock.

Sounds like the building was designed by a Biden supporting “engineer”.

I used to have a 35th floor condo (nice views!) and took the stairs to try them out. Once was enough to know that wasn’t going to be a regular thing ;-)

Did they get the same crew that designed and built the Florida International University pedestrian bridge?

Oliver Wendell Douglas !!!
He knew his stuff.
Prior to World War II, and before his film career, Albert had toured Mexico as a clown and high-wire artist with the Escalante Brothers Circus, but secretly worked for U.S. Army intelligence, photographing German U-boats in Mexican harbors.[8] On September 9, 1942, Albert enlisted in the United States Coast Guard and was discharged in 1943 to accept an appointment as a lieutenant in the U.S. Naval Reserve. He was awarded the Bronze Star with Combat “V” for his actions during the invasion of Tarawa in November 1943, when, as the coxswain of a Coast Guard landing craft, he rescued 47 Marines who were stranded offshore (and supervised the rescue of 30 others), while under heavy enemy machine-gun fire.[9]
