what if the cable snaps at the 93rd floor?

@XeanoProductions That won't happen - each of those cables can handle about 20 to 50 thousand pounds, depending on thickness. If they did, there is an extra governor cable that will activate the car's emergency brakes. In addition, if the power cable were cut, the car's brakes would engage since they're held open by electric motors.

Question from a claustrophobic: How do you get someone out of a trapped elevator if it is in a 94 story tube with no other floor doors? Say it stops around the 47th floor. Then what? How do they get you out?

In that event, sometimes the elevator can be lifted or lowered manually. If one of the mechanical brakes on the car was triggered, an elevator mechanic would then go down from the top of the shaft with climbing gear to disable such brakes.
