Does Not Illustrate: Elevator Failure

Current shows characters concerned in what appears to be an elevator. Can we do better and show an actual failure happening? Opener from The Towering Inferno.

The suggestion is a little more illustrative but the quality's an issue.

If anyone can find a better quality version of 1.1, that might work.

This◊, maybe?

^ That's the image I used for my crop.

Looking through the examples isn't yielding much...I think we may have to stick with what we've got.

The OP is clearer than the current, quality issues aside. I think that's an acceptable trade-off.

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

A minimalistic illustration of the trope.

It's so minimalistic it doesn't really say much.

I'm not totally feeling it with any of the suggestions, including the current. That said, OP is the best suggestion so far, for what it's worth.

Agreed on that one.

1 is an improvement.

1.1 is an improvement, but just so. I think there is a scene in Poseidon which is similar ... I'll see if I can find something.

OP is passable, but the image quality is a letdown. If Sept's idea has better quality, I'm probably switching my vote.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?

Nah, doesn't seem like it would be better than the OP scene, although folks may disagree.

Yeah, OP is only passable, but still the best one,

Another vote or two for the OP and we can run with it.

I'll add my vote. 1.1

Cool. The new pic's up and tagged; caption?

Something about an express elevator to Hell seems apropros.

No consensus on a caption; locking up.
