The infamous elevators of Chungking Mansions, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon side, Hong Kong. As people deboard, the boarding stampede begins until there is absolutely no more room. A sensory overload, as many passengers are afficianados of the Pakistani messes in the building. There are always too many for the doors to shut, and the one blocking the doors is shoved out. The doors close, and the weight overload buzzer sounds, the door opens and a passenger is shoved out. The process is repeated with passengers being shoved out until the elevator is able to begin its groaning ascent.

There are some pictures of the elevators here - http://www.cromwell-intl.com/travel/...gkong-pix.html
