        I don’t know how to see a memory bug in an out of order elevator, but I once saw and reported a wiring error of a working elevator. It was an interesting talk at the reception desk, but as I could precisely describe what was wrong and the verifyable consequences, they took me seriously. And sent me a “Thank You” email later ;-)

          Were your working on the elevator or just riding it? If the latter, I imagine even being able to see the wiring was an issue.

            I was just using it. But the behavior/reaction to button presses showed me that a button was obviously connected to the wrong function.

        You know how everything has LCD screens these days? And sometimes you’ll witness a good old crash? I know I’ve seen quite a few.
        I’m guessing something like that.

      Based. That’s a a bit like saying: “enough is enough, people are gonna get hurt. Let’s fix this.”
