A man gets onto an elevator.
When the elevator stops, he
knows his wife is dead. The

powers and he is not
informed by any
communication device like a
smart phone.
Can you give a logical
explanation?
He's leaving a hospital after visiting his wife, who's on a
life support system. The power goes out, stopping the
elevator and, he guesses, the life support system, too.
(He assumes if the emergency backup generator were
working, the elevator wouldn't lose power either.)
