    The elevator sounds like it is of the Hydraulic type as opposed to a Traction elevator. It also looks like it is very poorly maintained. I was an elevator mechanic for a few years, and yes I can see why they titled this video as the worst ever. It sounds like it is loose and its guide rails and rollers are totally worn out. You could hear the car skidding on the shaft walls. When that guy stuck his finger he could have easily gotten shocket. He pushed a broken momentary contact switch. If he would have touched the two switch conductors, the shock would have floored him.

    The Fox 32 Channel News Studio is on the first level on the left, the Metra Electric South Water Train Station on the lower level. You could take the Millennium, Randoph ramp on the Southside of the train station up instead of the South Water Elevator. There are restaurants and other places to go to. Plus the South Shore Line to Southbend Indiana, The Chicago Ped Way. You could walk the Chicago Ped Way to the CTA L System. The Chicago Ped Way is useful it is connected to many buildings underground, in the Summer when it gets hot out, it can be used with Air Conditioning to keep cool. In the Winter the Chicago Ped Way can be used when days are very cold out and snowy.
