Elevator failure of Princess Tower in Dubai

The British "Daily Mail" reported on June 8, 20 13 that all eight elevators of Princess Tower in Dubai, the world's tallest residential building, broke down a few days ago. Once, wealthy homeowners living on the top floor were forced to climb 97 floors to get home, and the parts for repairing elevators had to be shipped from Finland, and it would be delayed.

The 47-year-old resident who lives on the 78th floor said that after a hard day, he didn't know to climb back until he got downstairs, so he went to stay in a hotel. But I hope they can fix it soon, because there are too many hotels to stay in every night.

Princess Tower is 4 14m high, with10/floor above ground and 6 floors underground, of which 97 floors are residential. Princess Tower was completed in September 2065438+2002. * * There are 763 luxury houses and 8 shops. The daily rent of two rooms and one living room is about 140 (about RMB 1328), and the price of each duplex is more than 2 million (about RMB 192 1000).

It is reported that the fire alarm system of Princess Tower was abnormal on June 65438, 20 13. After the fire hose on the 96th floor was started, water flooded into the elevator shaft of all elevators, which led to the failure of all elevators. Two hours later, two emergency standby elevators started, but they could only reach the 50 th floor at most. Residents above 5 1 floor have to climb the stairs to walk the rest distance by themselves. After another 12 hour, the maintenance personnel manually operated an elevator to serve the residents from the 0 th floor to the 97 th floor of 565438+, but these residents had to call the administrator to get the elevator.
