Trapped: Guy stuck in elevator for 41 hours

From the New Yorker Web page:

This week in the magazine, Nick Paumgarten writes about the lives of elevators, and tells the story of Nicholas White, who was trapped in an elevator in New York City’s McGraw-Hill building for forty-one hours. Here is a condensed look at White’s ordeal, as captured by the building’s security cameras.



That's just a scary thought. Go to this link to see the time-lapsed version of Mr. White's nightmarish ordeal.

Yikes!

Hey,
The video is pretty cool, but did you read the whole story? Very "interesting" (not the best word), but his evaluation of what he would have done differently after the event is an interesting study in what we tend to think of being "important". Those quick and "assumed correct" decisions have changed his life.

Hmm, getting pretty deep for a Saturday evening!
