At the time of power failure or off, due to the screw system, the speed of the elevator to reach the nearest elevator is very very very slow and takes times.
Lift speed under normal conditions is 15 cm/ second, become around 1-5 cm/second so it takes several minutes for passengers inside to get out of the elevator.
this look trivial, but imagine if the passengers inside are parents. Then around almost 10 minutes or more, can be in the elevator room in a closes state without any incoming air, then it will be a FATAL moment.
