Default Trapped in an Elevator...FOR 41 HOURS

Watch the camera on the top right hand corner.... this guy was stuck in an elevator in a buildilng in New York for 41 straight hours by himself. The thought it is just makes me wish I never had to take an elevator again for the rest of my life.

I wonder if he had to **** at some point. Maybe that is why he kept opening that door.....to take a leak.

I thought all elevators had to have an exit hatch on top?

Ok....one...how the F does that happen in an office building? Granted the building for the most part was empty, but don't they have secuirty?

There probably is no use of leaving the top. He was an express elevator with know stops between ground and the 39th floor. Don't know much about elevator shafts...but I'm guessing there wasn't much there....besides have you ever seen how far up those trap doors are? I know in my building, it's well beyond my reach.

I wonder if he has a fear of elevators...or just the number 30.

Can see the Headline:
"Man vanishes for 41 hours. Company terminates on unexcused absence. Employee claims trapped in elevator."
