I have a terrible fear of elevators. I remember going up to the observation deck of the WTC a few times and the elevator moved so fast it was almost hard to tell if you were falling or climbing. I remember an old episode of LA Law where a woman was talking to someone while waiting for an elevator with her back to the elevator. The bell rang, the door opened and she walked backwards into the shaft and fell - no elevator there. The two times I ALWAYS look very closely before stepping are onto an elevator and from the skyway into an airplane. I don't let myself spend more than a millisecond over either threshold.
