That time a frayed rope in a 1970s building taught me to trust my gut
I was doing a full inspection on a bank's old freight elevator in downtown Tacoma, and my flashlight caught a single broken strand on the main hoist rope that the last report said was fine. I shut it down right there, called the building manager, and we found three more sections starting to go when we pulled the sheave guard. How often do you guys push back on a clean paper trail when something just doesn't look right?
