The extremely sad case of a canoe sinking that left 17 people dead and missing in Hoi An (Quang Nam) has just shown that potential problems are always hidden and can strike at any time. Suddenly thinking about the problem of elevator safety, although there are no similar serious incidents, if it is not forecasted and taken preventive measures, accident is inevitable. And regardless of the extent of the casualties, it is a pain not only for families with unfortunate loved ones but also for the whole society.
It is difficult to determine how many elevators in Vietnam today are in high-rise buildings, luxury and modern commercial centers or in families. Also few people know about the first elevator installed in Vietnam and the mysterious anecdotes surrounding this oldest elevator in Vietnam. And it is surprising that after nearly 100 eventful years, the first ancient elevator in Vietnam is still running well and operating regularly.
Long-distance taxi rides rarely give me a sense of security. Not because the speed exceeds 80km/h, or because the driver shows off his flying skills. After all, driver caution is unquestionable. But it is a fact that sitting in the back of someone else's car makes us a lot more nervous.
Everyone wants to be in control of their own life and be proactive about their own safety. If it is necessary to entrust it to another person, then that person should at least earn a certain amount of trust.

Green growth and sustainable development have become the national policy of many countries. One of the leading solutions is to save energy. In that trend, elevator manufacturers are constantly improving and applying high technology to reduce electricity consumption in their products.
The petition for help of people living in Kim Chung Commune Workers' Housing Area (Dong Anh, Hanoi) sent to Elevator Magazine reflects that the elevator where they live is really a fear and obsession from a long time ago but not resolved.
