I heard of one guy who got stuck in an elevator for 42 HOURS. (saw the video on Tosh.O)
Management knew he was in there. I suspect, that they did not want to damage the door and the repairman would come in on Monday (or some stupid thing, I do not know the details).
The guy laughed about it later though. Having won a lawsuit against the building.I might be crazy, but I'm not Insane.
What? You don't play with flamethrowers on the weekends? You are strange.

The engineer's possible plaint...
Quoth figgyx View Post...I mean, really, if there was a slight possibility this was true why would we wait hours for the repair dude?

Actually, about the guy stuck in the elevator of the McGraw-Hill building for 42 hours, apparently the guards weren't watching the cameras like they should have been. And there were elevator techs doing maintenance on the other cars in that bank, why none of them wondered where car #13 was is beyond me.
The guy kinda cooked his own goose job-wise though, making the decision not to come to work, and claiming that he was too scared of elevators to show up. (He and possibly his lawyer figured that their lawsuit would have more chance of succeeding if he could claim he was traumatized). He lost his job, and I don't know when he managed to find another.
And if there is an actual entrapment, they won't take hours to send somebody- at night it may take more time, because they have fewer techs out, but they WILL send somebody ASAP if somebody's in there. I found this out when I got stuck in an elevator once during a night shift. Yay ThyssenKrup! The elevator tech was amazed at how calm I was, I told him that being a skyscraper fan and knowing how elevators work helpedLast edited by Amanita; 03-10-2015, 09:16 PM.
