Man trapped in elevator for 41 hours.
I was reading about this today. This was from a decade ago, but they just released the surveillence tapes of this poor guy. Imagine if he were claustrophobic....

1. I'd imagine if he wasn't before... he is now.

5. I always carry my Leatherman™ multitool- I'd be out of an elevator in well under 41 hours!
That poor guy! At least he had his smokes with him.

7. I'd be a basket case at the end of that.
I am claustrophobic. I'd never get on an elevator again if that had happened to me.
