(NOTE: I filmed this around 4 in the morning, in a building with a bank of multiple elevators... so I wasn't actually preventing anyone from going where they needed to go at this time, heh)
Astute viewer Scott reached out to me from DragonCon to tell me a story about what he and many other attendees were experiencing at the hotels in the Atlanta region during that event. It was such a good story that I wanted to share it with you all because it speaks to how things can go wrong quickly during occasions when building elevators face more demand than they are programmed to handle smoothly.
It is also a story of some good thinking on the part of the venues who did their best to solve the issue and keep things moving as much as they could.
I also enjoyed the fact that when I was talking with Howard about the situation he almost immediately identified the hotel in question and revealed that the building design was partially to blame... architects can make really lovely structures but in this case they limited their elevator capacity with those exterior cabs. Enjoy! 👍😁👍
