Good news is the safety brake worked.Right. After an 84 floor free fall. That's never supposed to happen.

Despite the mocking of your comment, I seriously doubt that the elevator free-fell for 80+ floors. The article says nothing of the sort.
There would have been injuries if it free-fell from that height. That stated, an elevator which passed inspection in July of this year should certainly not have a cable(s) break. As well, clearly the brake system in that car was not working properly.
Chicago has obviously not resolved its elevator inspection problems (news history is enlightening on the topic).
