Man Trapped for 40 Hours in Elevator
Filed Under WTF?!?!?!, Huh???, Sucks for You
Seriously?!?!? I would have lost my rightful mind! I felt so sorry for him, you could see all the emotions from fear/panic/defeat/calm. I wonder if he’s gotten on an elevator since? And SMH at someone putting that “broken elevator” sign up at the end. Ya think?
According to the description from this video:
Trapped: 40 Hours In An Elevator….timelapse…true story.
CCTV:Nicholas White was a thirty-four-year-old production manager at Business Week. He was working late on a special assignment and wanted a cigarette. He told a colleague that he’d be right back and, leaving his jacket behind, headed downstairs. Thus commenced the longest smoke break of Nicholas White’s life, a harrowing experience that began at around eleven o’clock on a Friday night in October, 1999.The Business Week offices were located on the forty-third floor of the McGraw-Hill Building in mid-town Manhattan. When White finished his cigarette, he returned to the lobby, got into Car No. 30 and pressed the button marked 43. The car accelerated. It was an express elevator, with no stops below the thirty-ninth floor, and the building was deserted. But after a moment, White felt a jolt. The lights went out, immediately flashed on again and then the elevator stopped.
This happened in 1999 but this footage has only recently been made available…
