man stuck in elevator for 41 hours

04-22-2008, 04:28 AM

first of all... i am pretty claustrophobic and wouldnt even last 5 minutes stuck in an elevator. if i was this guy i would have probably found a way to kill myself.

second of all.... this happened back in '99. dont know why it just got on the news now.

brokemywallet · 04-22-2008, 02:09 PM

that's a crazy article......the only thing is why is there so much fluff regarding the history of elevators and what not.......

i didn't like the fact i had to jump pages to find about the specifics of this man's story.

41 hours inside a 4X4 room has got to do some psychological damage to that guy...

I can't imagine what he went through...

I would have spent a lot more time ripping at the ceiling.

ChaneRZ · 04-22-2008, 03:30 PM

what would you do if there was a hot girl inside the elevator?

I'd have her get down on her knees,

bend over,

and then I'd use her as a step-stool to get to the ceiling of the elevator and get the hell out of there.

TheAcAvenger · 04-22-2008, 09:33 PM

deep down inside, I think I always knew the door close buttons on elevators was a hoax

shift330 · 04-22-2008, 09:48 PM

That sucks so bad but I couldn't help laughing my ass of at the video, especially at the end where the doors just open and they put an out of order sign on it.

BMWE90 · 04-22-2008, 09:48 PM

I didnt read the article so...howcome nobody saw him trapped in there?? I mean it was 41 hours, the guards watching the monitors must have seen him (unless it was the weekend and nobody was there).
