“If there were a fire, people with disabilities would die because they could not get down the stairs- unless someone physically carries them, as I have done when there are actual fire alarms. Tell me how someone in a wheelchair supposed to climb the stairs? Crawl up the stairs?” Lubecky, said.

I can understand the frustration of a broken elevator, but if there is a fire then the elevators are the last thing you should be using. And if people have mobility issues, upper floors really shouldn't be the best place to live.

Besides, Sheldon, Penny, Amy, Leonard, Howard, Raj and Bernadette put up with a broken elevator for how long?

Retired Union Elevator Mechanic here, How do you think the Fireman get to the 20th, 50th, 75th or the 150th floor to put out the fire?
If the building has electricity, they don't hump the stairs.
