pretty sure those hatches don't open from the inside -

Some do some don't...all the ones I've ever seen/used did. (I used to manage a building in the UK that had about 12 elevators and they all had hatches you could open from the inside).
ETA: First time I used one I nearly died walking around on the elevator roof..the guy I was with didn't tell me there was a big fucking gap at the back where the counterweight is...I stepped off it in the dark and he pulled me back just before I plunged to my death and said "Oh don't go near the back".The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2021-08-11 at 1:24 PM UTCGoogling around newer ones apparently usually are locked, it's the older ones (like I used) that didn't.
That's pretty dumb really locking them. Still, I bet I could kick that bastard open if my life depended on it...I'd certainly try rather than filming my death for tiktok. -

I've never actually been up there, just heard that they were specifically designed for rescue workers to get in, not as an escape -

Well sure they are access hatches, not escape hatches...but the name isn't really that important. See above though re: new lifts vs old ones. All the ones I used were older and so had the hatches that weren't locked.
When one broke down we'd have to go up to the "lift house" and literally wind a big handle to slowly move the lift up or down to the next floor...many times while the "woman" inside the lift was screaming "get me ooooutttt" -

2021-08-11 at 4:12 PM UTCthinking about naval cannon on battleships, guy says larger caliber guns had more range but you'd think if they could launch a 12" shell 8000 yards that an 8 inch gun could achieve the same range by like i dunno using more powder or something.

8 inches isn't going to have the same hull penetration as a 12 incher...
