Westinghouse Hydraulic elevator @ Valley View Mall Roanoke VA POV (1st take)

This is the service elevator at the valley view mall in Roanoke virginia. I believe it was low on hydraulic fluid as it jerked going up. you can hear it in the audio.

Did you even ask to go in the service elevator?

This one is actually public..

[patricknedz]

it sounds like guns going off while going up

[dieselducy]

thanks for the tip offs, I found the service elevators. is there any actual freight elevators (vertical doors) in the mall or are they all "service" elevators?

westinghouse is a old elevator company

[elevator1tom]

you should have done something called an impact cam.  that will really show how bad it was.

This is your normal service elevator. No bells. Also, what was the rear door for?
