So I'm sure all of you have read about the guy that got stuck in the elevator for 41 hours. Well here's a time lapse video of this poor sap. What would you guys do if you were stuck in an elevator for two days?

Quote:
"After a certain period of time I knew that I was in pretty big trouble because it was the weekend," Nicholas White said Monday on ABC-TV's "Good Morning America."
Video of his Oct. 15, 1999, ordeal in an elevator in New York's McGraw-Hill building was posted online to accompany an article in the April 21 edition of The New Yorker.
It can be seen on the magazine's Web site and had been viewed more than 280,000 times on YouTube by Monday morning.
White said he understood why the video has captured people's attention: So many have wondered what they would do if it happened to them.
Edited to a soundtrack of classical piano music, the video shows him pacing, trying to climb the walls, lying down, curled up in a fetal position, prying apart the doors. (He said he relieved himself down the shaft when the doors were open.)
White sued the managers of the midtown skycraper and the elevator maintenance company and won an undisclosed settlement.
He was a production manager for Business Week when he left his office about 11 p.m. Friday for a cigarette break.
According to the article, it was never determined exactly why the elevator stalled though there was talk of a voltage dip.

That was one long cigarette break! He probably doesn't have to work another day for the rest of his life.
2 days in an elevator? I'd go nuts,unless I had some hot looking babes in there with me, LOL!

I would have kept trying to get to the hatch in the roof until I was too tired to stand. From there, it's much easier to escape.

True, wonder why he never even attempted that.

He jumped at the hatch a few times and gave up.

That reminds me of a funny story. Years ago,wife #2 had to go to the hospital for final examination after her back surgery. When we left,we were on the elevator. I broke wind just before the door opened and it was very foul. After getting out,some old lady ran in as the doors closed. She probably got asphyxiated and I was in tears from LMAO! It was like walking into an "A" Bomb!!!
