41 hours? I bet he did too.
I would freak out after an hour.
You pinged me to a thread that’s gonna take me 41-hours to read? Wait, I’ll turn off “24...”
Shenanigans ping...
Can’t seem to get to the video from the link. Seems like everything I click on is an ad, not the video.
(I really hate Yahoo)
I already have a somewhat unreasonable level of fear of elevators......
Aha. I found it on the second link.
WoW I just saw the video. I would have had a panic attack, no doubt about it.
I second that! I really have an unreasonable fear of elevators, and I am normally very rational, just ask my husband :)
Actually, this is very sad but it got really bad after the flooding here in Houston. A woman from my Dads office waited out most of the storm in her office downtown and left to go home taking the elevator to her car in the parking garage. The parking garage was flooded up to the ceiling, she had no idea and took the elevator down. She didn’t make it. I hate elevators.

I have a fear of elevators, too. Years ago, I was working in a Dallas, TX highrise and took the elevator down for lunch. Before I could hit a button, the elevator went in a free fall down 8 stories to the bottom. When I got out, I was a nervous wreck. There were some men working on the adjacent elevator and they looked shocked when I came out. For months after that I walked up eight flights to work.
Betcha he takes the stairs whenever possible.

That is good - sort of like a Charlie Chaplin movie - although not as funny. (Except for the little sign they put up at the end!)
