The most fatal elevator accident occurred on November 11th 2001. in the world trade center. After the two planes struck the tower(s), it also savage most of the cables that lift the elevators including the governor cable (a safety cable which yanks on the breaks to stop the cab from falling if others were to fail) as as result most of the people died this way. But others were lucky to last on the remaining ones until help arrived (which mostly didn't happen). But only a very few (22 or so survived) all and all. 200 people in total were killed in the elevators in the twin towers.
