I can confirm that while the nuke may have been active while the elevator was glitched, it became glitched after the nuke was started.
I was made aware of the issue of the elevator being stuck at around 6mins into the nuke, and this was no fault of their own as I managed to fix it, seems like it was only a temporary fix.
Strafing fury did nothing wrong as he couldn't move the nuke and quite frankly the elevator seems to glitch more often than not.
As for the unraidable aspect of his nuke, you could stop it without stepping foot in the base
