Part of me wistfully mourns for the loss of edifices like this, caused by computers. Another part recognizes that those guys would probably have given their left nut to get out of those desks and in front of a computer.

I’m sitting here wondering what modern safety programs would find wrong with the processes involved here. Looks amazing though.

The obvious one is an enclosure or latches door to prevent accidental falls. They might be wearing fall protection that we can’t see but I doubt it.

There’s a good chance nobody ever fell from one of these but those regulations exist for a reason.

Maybe less obvious is fail-safes for any elevator system so if the brakes fail it doesn’t freefall into the ground.
